Guest guest Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Swami was amidst the students in the centre of the hall. There, He was 'informed' of the prasadam that had been kept ready at the northern gates of the hall. He moved down towards the main gate and blessed the prasadam. Taking a bunch of holy grass, Swami sprinkled water on all the bowls containing tamarind rice and laddoos. He spent about 5 minutes there and then moved to the stage area through the gents’ side. He sat listening to a few more bhajans after which the grand mangala aarthi was performed. Swami then personally supervised the distribution of prasadam to all. Many broke their fast with Swami's prasadam. He is informed about the prasadam He sanctifies it with the holy sprinkling "Go and see if all at the back have received the Prasadam." Beautiful minutes ticked by as Swami sat silently watching all who were eating. The devotees were contented looking at their Lord and so was the Lord looking at His devotees. Swami told a few people to start eating. The photographers in the front were busy capturing these beautiful moments. Swami told them also to eat. When they continued shooting, Swami sweetly asked, "Why? Is the prasadam not tasty or cooked well?" Immediately, the cameras were put down and the prasadam was given importance! The food prayer was chanted twice, once by the University students and once by the Primary school students. He is so happy... ....at the sight of the praying children Swami seemed to relish watching everyone eat. One could feel the message, Aham Vaishvanarobhutva Praninaam Dehamaashritaha – “I am the One inside all, who digests the food they eatâ€. After sitting onstage for nearly forty-five minutes during the prasadam distribution, Swami returned to His residence. "Jata Joota Shiva"- isn't that such an apt name?
