26 February Darshan Update

February 27, 2009

Om Sairam dearest Sai Family,

after a powerful Shivarathri celebrations and a power packed three PUPPET shows from brother Ajit Popat it was the turn of Swami's students to steal the show.

This afternoon, the students of class 10 and 12 were blessed by Swami to share their heart breaking and hair raising stories with Swami and some incidents during their stay in the School.

There were three students who introduced the audience the day's programme. Swami signaled for the programme to start.

One student rose from his seat and in pure sanskrit thanked Swami for giving him the opportunity to study in His institution and asked for His blessings to continue to be His instrument and Swami was so impressed that He responded with a sweet smile.

Later there was one student who rose and shared his story. 17 years ago one mother was pregnant. It was very difficult for the mother and the baby had to be born prematurely. The mother's father who was an anaesthitist gave anaesthisia and the baby's father who was also a doctor gave the treatment. The baby was born, blue in colour with leg not in good shape. All of them offered prayers to Swami and the baby whom they all thought would die, turned to pink and the leg got back to normal.After a week or so the grand father who came for Swami's darshan, was confirmed by Swami Himself that He was the one who gave His helping hand on that day. The very same boy who was now 17,speaking before Swami, thanked Swami for giving a re birth and not just re birth but a golden chance to study in His institution

There was another boy who rose and said, Swami on one evening my mother brought me to this very same Kulwanth hall. I was just 2 years then not knowing exactly who You were, I was told that there is one Baba who is God. All of them were waiting for Swami and when Swami came out the boy who was just 2 years old started saying loudly to his mother, Mother! Baba's hair is so beautiful. Mother tried to silent the baby as one has to maintain silence during darshan. The boy was in no mood to be silent and definitely not so after seeing those beautiful hair.Swami directly came to the boy and gave a beautiful smile.

The boy amidst loud applauds and making every one smile, said, Swami 17 years after that incident, even today Your hair is so beautiful and it was a treat to watch Swami when the boy told that to Swami. Swami didn't feel shy but it was an expression closer to that....Swami is such a charmer many a times He seems to be very much human..

Another boy rose from his seat and when he shared this story it was very emotional and brought tears to many of us. he said, Swami, one 9 month old boy suddenly had a very high temperature. He was the only boy to the parents. The temperature was so high that the boy suddenly stopped crying. the eye balls went up and the body was motionless. Not knowing what to do, the mother ran upto the puja room, praying to Swami she said, Swami! he is the only child for me please save him and Swami assured the mother that All will be ok. In 10 minutes the baby got back to normal.. Amidst loud applauds and dampened eyes.. the boy said.. Swami!! the same baby after 17 years is standing before you offering humble salutations at your lotus feet for your kindness to listen to a mother's prayer.

Another boy sharing his story said, it was on the first day in primary school. I was badly missing my mother and was crying the whole night. Suddenly my mother appeared right next to me and she made me sleep. The next sunday when my parents came to see me I shared the incident and thanked my mother for coming and my mother was in tears. She knew it was Swami who came in her form to console her baby. The boy narrating this incident, got very emotional and hearing his shivering voice made all of us more emotional. Swami blessed the boy by raising His hand and it was just beautiful to watch the whole episode.

Now it was the turn of a overseas boy whose brother is also studying here. It so happened during some sports rehearsal Swami called the boy and asked where is your brother to which the boy replied my brother is in the sports rehearsal.The next day during darshan, Swami asked his brother the same question and the boy replied Swami I was in the sports rehearsal. Now Swami calls this boy and asks where is your brother? The boy who was now little bit surprised and confused said, Swami you just spoke to my brother to which Swami said, no ALL ARE YOUR BROTHERS. Just an example how Swami teaches equanimity in a simpleway.The boy later sang few telugu lines from Humko TumsePyar kitna bhajan Neevu leni maa jeevanam (a life without you) neeru leni chepa vedanam(is like that of a fish out side water). Needu choope prana samanam(your one look is full of life) Meedi maadi Oke bandamu (our

relationship is only one) Adiye prema bandamu (that is the bond of LOVE). Swami was so impressed by those lines and smiled back at the boy..

It was just beautiful to see the students share their stories and also a treat to watch Swami's expressions when His students thanked Him for all that He has done for them.

Swami then called the principals and had a bit lengthy talk with them. Swami seemed very very happy and He came down all the way from the stage to take pictures with His CHOSEN ones. After 2 bhajans arathi was given to Swami, thus ending a beautiful day full of SAI LOVE..

Right now there are about 2,500 devotees from Adilabad district from the state of Andhra Pradesh on a three day Parthi Yatra. Swami has blessed them by permitting to perform before Him play today so another extended Darshan session is in the offering.. Thank you Dear Lord...

With humble pranams at the lotus feet of our beloved Lord.R. Satish Naik..
