| Team Brindavan is set to
soar high… This was the crux of the message that echoed in the
spacious Sai Kulwant Hall on Sunday, Mar 23rd evening, when the
passing out batch of students from the Brindavan Campus gathered at
the Divine Lotus Feet offering heartfelt gratitude to Beloved Mother
Sai.
This was the final of the series of Gratitude Offerings for the academic year 2013-2014.
Beginning the offering enacting man’s eternal journey at the Master’s, the programme then continued with an enthralling ‘Robe-story’ by one of the students, narrating how, “when prayers go up… blessings come down,’ narrating how he, with fervent innocent childlike prayers won Swami’s heart, winning a robe from Him, fulfilling mother’s wish.
Continuing from here, the one-hour long programme had some of the most enthralling stories of Divine Touch Of Love ‘n’ Grace, group songs, band music apart from sprinklings of reflections by many students. Even as stories of reminiscences continued with a ’25th March 2011 Darshan Story’ followed by a couple of more interesting tales, as add-ons came musical bonanza, sung with sheer passion and devotion. Brindavan Band boys also teamed up with the musical group to reproduce the magical touch of evergreen “Love Song Of Prasanthi’ ‘Hum Ko Tum Se Pyaar Hey…’ Inducing contagious devotional-fervour into one and all, Team Brindavan sang one concluding number in unison, expressing Love and Gratitude, Tum Ho Tho Zindagi Mein Khushiam Kushiam.
All the boys were felicitated at the end of the programme. Bhajans continued and ended with Bhagawan’s Sunday Special ‘Prema Muditha Manase Kaho Rama Rama Ram…’ II Samastha Lokah Sukhino Bhavantu II |

Students… 20th March , 2014 |

| Month of March is into its final
phase and so with Gratitude Offerings at Prasanthi…After the UG boys
on the 18th March, last evening, 20 March, the final year PG batch
from Prasanthi Nilayam Campus took its turn to turn it into a
memorable Grateful evening here in Prasanthi Nilayam.
Beginning with ‘the Sri Ganesh’ offering, chanting Sai Gayathri, the grateful bunch of senior students went on for an hour, sharing their heartfelt memories in the form of personal experiences, songs, poems, band music and on… all from hearts ripe, full of love and gratitude. Adding to the melody of expression they sang in chorus, We Have Come To Thank You, Dearest Lord…
Some of them with a two year stint, some with five, seven and seventeen…the batch was a mix of ‘experiences’…but what they experienced deep within was the experience of Bond Of Love… welling with Gratitude.
Following the usual Prasanthi pattern, they began with an introduction with a couple presenting the evening at the outset, exposing their hearts full of Gratitude. Even as the programme continued, expressions took different shapes with narratives of personal touch of Grace in ‘varied tongues’ came in, with sprinklings of songs from the core of their hearts served as add-ons. Adding flavour to the evening, grateful batch of Prasanthi Band boys belonging to the group played a couple of melody that included Mother Of Mine, an special offering of expression of Love For Beloved Mother Sai…
This was the last but one Gratitude Programme for this season…with the final one coming up on 23 March, an offering by the Brindavan Campus boys.
Even as bhajans commenced all the boys were felicitated by senior faculties from the Campus. Bhajans ended with Bhagawan’s ‘Thursday Special’ Sathyam Jnanam Anantam Brahma… Mangala Arathi at 1825 hrs. marked the end of the evening programme. II Samastha Lokah Sukhino Bhavantu II

| ‘You have got us up and we will
not let You down’ was one of the promising refrains echoed in the
Prasanthi precincts when the Under Graduate boys of Prasanthi
Nilayam Campus along with the final year batch of Mirpuri College Of
Music offered a ‘farewell’ Gratitude Programme last evening here in
Prasanthi Nilayam.
Love of one mother is overwhelming and here we are basking in the glory of a thousand mothers, voiced one grateful heart granting a rare glimpse of the ‘different world’ Prasanthi Nilayam offers to students, verily at Home… away from home.
The evening turned out to be very special with sprinklings of stories of His touch of grace along with renderings of poems, music and songs sprang forth filling the precincts with Sai’s magical wave of love.
When one of the students had a miraculous visitation of Swami at home in the guise of a servant maid, at the most crucial hour, another one had Him secured a seat at the Music College through a dream to his mother, yet another one had Him coming in the guise of a pathologist saving his life when he was barely three years old… Stories were aplenty and the hearts expressed it in varied tongues, some with beautiful poetic renditions… live experiences and then through music and songs.
The one-hour programme concluded with a Qawwali song. All the students were presented with special gifts as Bhagawan’s token of love… Bhajans continued and ended with Mangala Arathi at 1815 hrs.
