This evening, Bhagawan arrived at Sai Kulwant Hall in His chair for

darshan a few minutes after five o'clock. Moving straight to the

verandah after crossing the ladies' side, He came onstage and listening

to the collective Rudram chanting by the students. Once all eleven

Anuvakas of the Namakam part of Sri Rudram were completed, Bhagawan

called up Sri Ajit Popat, spoke to him for a while, and asked him to

address the gathering at 5.25 pm. Sri Popat spoke on the need for all

of us to be Grateful, Gracious and Godly. After he concluded at 5.45

pm, Swami asked one of the students to speak. His fifteen minute Telugu

speech was followed by Bhajans in the Bhajan Hall. Bhagawan soon

arrived there from the stage and at 6.20 accepted Arati before

returning to His residence.

 

Thursday, October 9, 2008 Today

was Vijayadasami, the 90th death anniversary of Shirdi Baba, the final

day of the Dasara celebrations and also the concluding Poornahuti

ceremony of the Veda Purusha Saptaha Jnana Yagna. Bhagawan arrived at

Sai Kulwant Hall at 9.10 am and within ten minutes, the students moved

to the Poornachandra. Just past 9.30. Bhagawan arrived onstage, and

interacting briefly with the priests, moved to the Western end of the

stage and accepted their Arati there. He then moved to the centre, and

the priests chanted mantras and completed the final offerings into the

sacrificial fire. Swami blessed the priests and the wife of the

chief-priest with clothes, and they all went backstage, changed into

the new clothes and returned. At 10.15, Swami accepted Arati once again

and returned to His residence.

 

Bhagawan arrived for darshan in the car at 5.30 this evening. Once He

came onstage, Sri. T. G. Krishnamurthy, former Sai Organisation State

President of Tamil Nadu, was asked to speak. After his half-hour

speech, Prof. G. Venkataraman, former Vice-Chancellor of the Sai

University, spoke for twenty minutes. Bhagawan then indicated that He

would deliver His Vijaya Dasami message and His microphone was brought

up.

 

Swami declared that this "Sathyanarayana Raju" was Sathyanarayana - the True Lord - moving among men. But

many times the people ignore what He says, or think that He is speaking

jokingly. But whether anyone loves Swami or hates Him, Swami will

always love all. All fruits on a tree do not ripen at the same time.

Some take longer than others, some will fall off before they are ripe.

But some day or the other, all will realize the truth. Nowadays, many

people have cell-phones in their pockets. Though you may think it is a

convenience, actually it causes more problems. Girls and boys develop

inappropriate connections this way. Youngsters especially should avoid

misunderstandings with these phones and should be cautious. Better not

to buy these phones at all. If you have to use them, have only those

numbers which are necessary.

 

After Bhagawan ended His Discourse with 'Bhajan Bina', He accepted Arati and returned to His residence at 7.45 pm.
