God walked and lived in this part of the Globe. Please do visit this Divine land as many times as possible, when you are still breathing. Never forsake blessed chances. You go there, not just to pray or participate in Bhajans. Please recall your earlier visits and experiences in the Divine land. This itself is Tapasya. As I stand in the sacred land of Prashanthi Nilayam, every inch brings back Divine memories. I had many Divine experiences in each and every spot. Here I recall some of them. 1. The vast Sai Kulwant Hall. I had spent for over 16 hours a day, continuously for over six months. Almost every day unforgettable close proximity with Bhagavan, during Swami’s inspection time. The golden days when Gold Foil fixing works were on !!!! 2. The Prashanthi Mandir – Full of Divine vibrations. I used to have tears in my eyes, whenever I enter inside. Most fortunate to receive instructions directly from Swami on every inch of the Gold cover on the different carvings inside. Twice I had arguments with Swami. Once on the issue of too much of camphor during Arathi, which resulted in black smoke deposits, spoiling the ceilings of the Mandir. Another one was on use of too low density of gold foils in the Swans, lined up on the portico of the veranda and also over the beam above Gita upadesh Morals. Even now I wonder from where I got so much courage to speak out to Swami. But Swami took them lightly. 3. I was there in the terrace of the Mandir where Swami served food for the two welders, with his own Divine hands. They were erecting poles for the Golden Kalasams. 4. Mandir Veranda – Many many blessings ! Twice Silk Dhothis were given by Swami for this humble servant. Direct instructions on gold work on the pillar, and ceilings in this area. I was using lots of gold foils to cover carvings on the Pillars. One senior devotee chided me, telling there was not much stock, and how I could consume lavishly on the pillars. But, Swami, appreciated the work and directed me to continue with the same way. Next day, I saw several devotees from Thailand, coming to Kulwant hall, and depositing couple of hundreds of suitcases, full of Gold foils !!! Story No. 200, is like a mile stone, perhaps the last one in the series. This article is going to be a bit long. As such I shall post it in several parts. With Love and regards. Bombay Srinivasan.
