Guest guest Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Nine families started an Akhanda Bhajan Mandali in 1944, consisting mostly of our relations. We had bhajans every thursday evening regularly. In 1946 , we requested swami to attend our first annual Akhanda bhajan, which He did. Swami stayed with us for full 24 hours of the bhajans. We had originally planned the Bhajans for about 150 people with our limited means. As Bhagavan attended the function, over 500 people attended, including several distinguished devotees who came with swami. We had a problemas to how to give prasadam to all of them, as we had not anticipated such a situation. We represented our problem to Swami. Baba with his merciful love, came to the kitchen and blessed the food. after the functionwas over we served Pongal to over 1000 people till the evening. it never got finished. This miracle is one of the earliest experiences in our lives, which is still green in our memory. In the year 1974, we celebrated the 25th year of our Akhanda Bhajan in the golden Jubilee Hall, Lalbagh. By then our Akhanda bhajan had become very popular and ever increasing numbers of people attended the function. Nearly 10.000 people attended the 1974 celebrations. Swami, in his concluding speech, declared that in future instead of our family conducting this akhanda bhajan, the entire world should conduct the bhajan on the same day . He materialised a Navarathamala and gave it to me as a benedictory blessing to our family. - From the book Sanathana Sarathi, page 128 - From the chapter " five decades at the lotus Feet" from Dr.R.S.Padmanabhan.

AT 12.45PM JUST WHEN I BROUGHT MY MUM TO MY HOUSE FOR LUNCH, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM A FOREIGN NUMBER ON MY HANDPHONE. IT WAS A SAI DEVOTEE FRIEND .. I WAS DELIGHTED TO HEAR FROM HER AS TWICE IN 2008 AND 2009 SHE CALLED ME SHE WAS IN PARTHI THEN. AND TWICE ITS IN CONNECTION WITH MY THOUGHTS OF SWAMI. SO I ASKED IF SHE WAS CALLING FROM INDIA AND SHE SAID NO SHE IS BACK HOME IN SPORE. AFTER ALL THE CATCHING UP SHE ASKED ME IF I AM GOING TO PARTHI FOR CHINESE NEW YEAR ETC. THEN SHE ASKED ME AFTER A FEW MINUTES WHY I CALLED HER. I SAID NO AND WAS FEELING RATHER PERPLEXED AS IT WAS SHE WHO CALLED ME. SHE SAID SHE CALLED BECAUSE SHE SAW A MISSED CALL WITH MY NAME AND NUMBER CLEARLY STATED ON HER MOBILE PHONE. IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE AS I DID NOT RECORD HER TEL NUMBER IN MY NEW HANDPHONE SINCE LAST YEAR. THEN WE BOTH REALISED ITS ANOTHER OF SWAMIS LEELA. YES WHEN I WAS DRIVING TO MY MUMS HOUSE I WAS PRAYING TO SWAMI. HE KNOWS. WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
