Yesterday on Friday Afternoon, Bhagawan went for a round of Prasanthi
Township. Emerging at around 1120 hrs. Bhagawan moved along the road, crossing
Yenumanappali Cross, leading to the Super Speciality Hospital. Taking a detour
from the petrol bunk, Bhagawan returned to the Ashram at 12 noon, via the
western gate. Hundreds lined up en route, inside the Ashram, for a glimpse of
The Lord. Bhagawan, in His outpouring love and compassion, went on blessing the
devotees with Abhayahastha.
'Sweeter and sweeter as the days go by' is perhaps the right expression
to describe Divine Darshan in Prasanthi Nilayam. At a time when Darshan
sessions are becoming shorter and shorter, one can find an increasing awareness
among the public of the greater importance of Divine Darshan! ...And with this
increasing awareness, thousands upon thousands are flocking into this Valley of
Peace every day, to catch a precious glimpse of The Lord!
In the evening,passed by presenting a such a short yet sweet darshan
session. Bhagawan arrived at 1945 hrs. in His car, coming for usual round of
darshan; towards the end of the round, He spent awhile with the 'Alike Team' of
teachers and students. Alighting at the verandah, Bhagawan came on stage to
preside over the session for the next fifteen minutes.
Detached was His demenour all through, yet He was at His amusing best! As
some boys approached Him with laddu prasadam for blessings before distribution,
Bhagawan grabbed a few from the box to toss them unto some lucky boys.
Accepting a letter from one of the boys, Bhagawan read through the same after
blessing the boy with Padanamaskar. Bhajans went into higher gear as boys sang
with great passion and devotional fervour; pubic responded erupting with
booming chorus.
It was time to wind up. At 2010 hrs. Bhagawan indicated for Mangala
Arathi and soon, upon Arathi, Bhagawan left the dais, not before blessing the
concourse with Abhayahastha.
Bhagawan retired to Yajur Mandiram at 2015 hrs.
