On Monday, this final day of the passing month, in the evening, Bhagawan
presented Himself at 1900 hrs. on the dot, emerging from Yajur Mandiram coming
into the assembly in Sai Kulwant. Finishing His round of darshan among the
thousands assembled at the twilight, Bhagawan came on to the dais marked by
accentuated bhajans.
As bhajans continued, Bhagawan sat on for the next ten minutes before
calling for Mangala Arathi at 1910 hrs. Moving off the dais after the Arathi,
Bhagawan listened to a few devotees before boarding the car, retiring to Yajur
Mandiram, bringing the curtains down on this final day of February 2011. Usual
buzz and excitement was once again evident as huge applause from the gents'
side greeted Bhagawan as He returned from the dais. The rejoicement was such an
infectious one that it spread on to the other end with ladies' going agog,
joining the celebrations.
Earlier, during the day at noon, Bhagawan came out of Yajur Mandiram
setting Himself off for a 'stroll' going up to the Railway Station junction.
Bhagawan returned via western gate at 1250 hrs. Lucky ones who could time it
well waited en route, at vantage positions, earning a rare afternoon glimpse of
The Lord.
Maha Shivarathri, the night dedicated to Easwara, Lord Shiva, is
scheduled for Wednesday, March 2, 2011.
