This morning, there was no Divine Darshan and Arathi was offered at 0940 hrs.
In the evening, Bhagawan arrived at 1650hrs amidst vedic chanting. He came for a full round of darshan collecting letters and blessing some devotees with vibuthi and akshata. Bhagawan then came into the prayer hall where previously Bhajans used to be held and interacted with a few students seated there. Bhagawan exited from the rear entrance of the prayer hall and came onto the stage. He encouraged all the students to join in and chant the suktams loudly and with enthusiasm. Even as 1730hrs, the usual time for Bhajans, approached, Bhagawan indicated to the Vedam group to continue. Bhagawan spent a lot of time reading the letters of the Devotees he collected during Darshan after which he called on to one of the students in the Bhajan group to come forward. Bhagawan spoke to him at length and materialsed a gold chain for him. Bhagawan accepted Arati at 1755hrs and returned after "Samastha Lokah Sukhino Bhavanthu" was chanted a second time. Bhagawan blessed the prasadam for the outgoing batch of sevadal from Andhra Pradesh. Volunteers from Tamil Nadu will start their service in the ashram from today
