The new Telugu year "Virodhi" was ushered in on this Yugadi morning with
Bhajans in the beautifully decorated Sai Kulwant Hall. Bhagawan arrived just
before ten o'clock and came onstage after a full round of the hall in the
chair. He sat onstage with the bhajans going on for a few minutes and then
asked one of the MBA Professors to announce this evening's music programme by
the students. Arati was then offered at 10.20 am following which Swami returned
to His residence blessing many devotees on the way. In the evening, Bhagawan
arrived for darshan at 4.45 pm in the golden-coloured special chair and began
the music programme by the students when He came onstage at five o'clock.
Carnatic and Hindustani classical music along with a Quawwali and
semi-classical songs were presented with panache by the students for an hour
till Bhagawan accepted Arati a few minutes past six o'clock and returned to His
residence.

This evening, the outgoing batch of students of the Sri Sathya Sai
Mirpuri College of Music, Prasanthi Nilayam, presented their gratitude
programme. Bhagawan completed His darshan round and came onstage to begin their
programme at 5.30 pm. Their hour-long musical presentation fused the Carnatic
and Hindustani styles of Indian classical music in a harmonious offering.
Bhagawan accepted Arati at 6.30 pm before returning to His residence after a
brief interaction with the music college students.
