"Festival of Divine Love", 85th Birthday Celebrations Programme
Calendar
Updated on Thursday, Oct 29, 2010 @ 20:35 hrs. IST
This evening Bhagawan came at 1800 hrs. on the dot. A full round of
darshan ensued before Bhagawan arrived on the stage at 1820 hrs.
As the darshan round was on, the Veda chanting that continued
non-stop from 16:30 hrs. came to an end with Balvikas children from Karanataka
taking over singing heart-rendering bhajans. Over 500 Balvikas children from
the state have come on a Parthi Yathra and sixty of them, thirty boys and
thirty girls, participated in the evening's bhajans. It turned out to be a
freshening experience with hundreds tender vocal cords singing aloud with
innocent loving expressions in the immediate Divine presence.
At 1855 hrs. Bhagawan asked for Mangala Arathi and a couple of boys
and girls from the Balvikas group got opportunities to come upto the dais to
receive blessings. Silence prevailed all over as Bhagawan sat on gluing on to
the group and the assembly. Breaking the beauty of silence innocent chirpings,
"We Love You Swami", rendered the air as children collectively burst open
expressing their love for Bhagawan. Soon Bhagawan asked for an encore of
Mangala Arathi.
Leaving the dais at 1910 hrs. Bhagawan made a quick visit into the
interview room before coming out to move into the ladies' side. Interacting
with some of the seniors from the Anantapur campus, Bhagawan blessed the
faculty members with sarees before retiring to Yajur Mandiram after 1920 hrs.
Special chocolate prasadam was distributed to the entire gathering.
Earlier, a two-day conference on the theme, Character Building in
Integral Education got underway at the SSSIHL auditorium this morning. Faculty
members and research scholars from all the three campuses would be attending
the conference.
