23rd March - Last day of Bhagavatha Sapthaha Yagnam This Morning, Taking a detour after emerging at 10:30, Bhagawan went straight into the interview room, to come out 11:00. Arathi was offered at 11:05. Bhagawan chose to sit for some more time on the dais, blessing the accompanists of the Maharaj, before retiring to Yajur Mandiram at 11:15, but not before blessing the audience with a "double abhayahasta".
Following this morning's penultimate session, the seven-day-long Saptaaha would conclude this evening in the immediate Divine presence. ====================================================================================================== Today Evening, Bhagawan emerged relatively early, at 4:30. Coming for a full round of Darshan, Bhavawan came on stage at 5:45 through the right of Ganesha. While ascending the verandah, again He had a detailed look at the portraits of Bhagawata tales depicted at the right-end of Prasanthi Mandir. Bhagavata Saptaaha session had been on and the evening's narrative was centred around the Krishna Saga involving Rukmini Swayamvaram. Maharaj ended his exposition at 5:30 upon which the Sai Sannidhi Music Troupe presented a light music session that lasted for half-an-hour, till 6:00 when Arathi was offered. Bhagawan spent some more time on the dais, blessing the Music Boys as well as the accompanists of the Maharaj granting them Padanamsakars. Bhagawan left for Yajur Mandiram at 6:20. Ritual pertaining the the Saptaaha has been going on at a separate location from the day-1 of the Saptaaha Yajna. Six Purohits (priests) who accompanied the Maharaj have been conducting these daily rituals, every day morning from 6:30 to 8:30. Bhagavata rendition in original, has also been happening simulataneously at this location from day-1. A unique thing about the Saptaaha Yajnam is the Maharaj's inimiatable style of referring to Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai as first person, quite often during his narrative,, replacing Bhagawan Sri Krishna with this form of the Avatar, walks the earth in present times.
