Sri Rama Navami was celebrated in Sai Shruti on 14th April. For over a period of 10 days, Bhagavan gave a series of revealing Discourses on the life and teachings of Lord Krishna.

During the Discourses, Bhagavan created jewels worn by the notable figures of the Dwapara Yuga. Easwaramma Day was celeberated in Sai Shruti on 6th May. During His stay at Kodaikanal, the widening of the Bhajan hall in Sai Shruti was done. The students and the devotees were given a golden chance to participate in the renovation work.

This Seva continued even on 6th May. <http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4IZ30CFXM6U/U1g1GdqgiuI/AAAAAAAAEKA/aOomZ42r5qs/s1600/111+001.jpg> Enroute to Whitefield from Kodaikanal, Bhagavan halted at Palani and blessed the Bhajan Mandali there.
