Evening Prasadam

August 9, 2009

Sairam beloved bhaktas of Lord SaiThis evening we all sat out under the Prashanti stars with our dearest Bhagavan. Swami came in late close to 6PM. We all sat drooping like a wilted wedding bouquet as the minutes ticked slowly by. Then Love incarnate, Rama Chandra blessed the threshold of the Mandir with His moonlight form. Swami glided down the main aisle, all honey smiles and enchanting looks. The Sunday crowd went wild, Seva dals too, rushing to pull down the women kneeling and standing for a glimpse of the Lord of the Universe!Swami orbited the Mandir and ascended the podium. He went directly to the front of the veranda. Mr. Poppet from London presented Swami with the program. A group from London were all set to perform at the divine feet. It was a very

upbeat musical program,

Swami appeared to enjoy it

very much. He sat out with us until close to 7:30PM, prasadam was distributed. Swami took araathi and retired to His residence.It has been such a wonderful visit with our Lord, as always a lot to contemplate. Usually there is a particular a theme running through these trips. The focus this pilgrimage was on sadhana and how to develop a consistent, integrated program that I would be able to continue when I returned to the states. Also in conjunction with this was the deep and profound yearning to do whatever it takes to become dear to the Lord, Bhagavan has outlined the specific formula for this objective in the Gita Vahini.The journey to the Himalayas was a blessed bonus, and something I will never forget.God HillsO God I heard Your celestial voicein the blessed hills of Badrinathwhere Vishnu's footprint still treksalong the star clad peaks

Sai Ram.

The devotee has worked had and relentlessly to keep us all updated on the programs at PN, including her poetice expressions.

Her mail below, reflects silently, that now the time has come to move on and after the divine vacation - get back to our works and jobs. I am thrilled as her sentence, "Also in conjunction with this was the deep and profound yearning to do whatever it takes to become dear to the Lord,"

I am reminded of a similar situation when I would be returning from PN back to home. My prayer to Bhagwan at that time used to be,"Baba, I welcome all pains, hardships and troubles if they would bring me even a fraction of inch closer to you and I despise all comfort, happiness and wealth that would take me even a fraction of an inch away from you." This required one to be always alert of His actions.

From this prayer I have moved to whichever level He has moved me. Now I am more aware of His Omniresence and being in His CIA (Constant integerated awareness) I welcome and accept everything as His Grace and Blessings.

Sai Ram ~ Be Happy
