Friday, March 27, 2009 The new Telugu year "Virodhi" was ushered in on this Yugadi morning with Bhajans in the beautifully decorated Sai Kulwant Hall. Bhagawan arrived just before ten o'clock and came onstage after a full round of the hall in the chair. He sat onstage with the bhajans going on for a few minutes and then asked one of the MBA Professors to announce this evening's music programme by the students. Arati was then offered at 10.20 am following which Swami returned to His residence blessing many devotees on the way. In the evening, Bhagawan arrived for darshan at 4.45 pm in the golden-coloured special chair and began the music programme by the students when He came onstage at five o'clock. Carnatic and Hindustani classical music along with a Quawwali and semi-classical songs were presented with panache by the students for an hour till Bhagawan accepted Arati a few minutes past six o'clock and returned to His residence. |

Saturday, March 14, 2009 Om sairam dearest Sai
Family, Long ago in late 80s it so happened that Swami blessed a family with interview. Like it used to be a tradition, Swami used to allow all the selected ones into the interview room and He used to enter at the end and after which He Himself bolted the door. There was an old lady in a wheel chair, in that particular family, who was very devoted and she was the one who got the whole family into Sai Fold. On that particular day, all the family members entered the interview room and before the old lady could enter, Swami went in and locked the door. It was a BIG shock to her and she was feeling very sad and also bit uncomfortable while thousands were watching her. In Sai Kulwanth hall, many times, we tend to see who is getting padanamaskar, who is denied, who is stopped by the sevadal, who gives letter to Swami and so on. When this incident happened obviously there was lot of gossip in the air. Many were wondering as why it happened to the old lady, many were drawing their own conclusions and many even starting feeling pity for her. This lady was feeling bit more uncomfortable as she was the Talk of the HALL if not the town. After 45
minutes, Swami opens the door and surprising every one , calls her in. The first
question she put to Swami was as why she was not allowed before and why now? Swami
with a sweet smile replied, you still had 45 minutes left for My appointment which
was FIXED some thousands of years ago and now it is the RIGHT TIME, and that is our
beloved LORD. So accurate in every step and in every action.. |

Listening to the Vedam chanting for a while and blessing some of the students, He went into the interview room before the five o'clock bhajans commenced. In a few minutes, He returned to the stage and sat there while the bhajans went on till He accepted Arati at 5.45 pm. While He was returning to His residence in the car, the students of the outgoing batches of the Anantapur campus of the Sri Sathya Sai University prayed for a chance to sing for Him. Swami stopped His car near them and they sang a couple of songs and got items blessed by Him from the car itself before Bhagawan returned to His residence. |

The devotees from Khamman were distributing not only items for earning a livelihood like wet-grinders and sewing machines, but also computers with suitable software to visually challenged students and hearing aids for those hard of hearing from a Deaf-Dumb-Blind school in their district. Bhagawan arrived in Sai Kulwant Hall just after five o'clock and went into the interview room. When He came onstage, the leader of the group called out the items for distribution after an introductory speech at 5.45 pm.
