also read: Update on Sant Shri Rameshbhai Oza visit

On this beautiful puttaparthi morning Swami came out at 8.a.m, Sri Sathya Sai Baba took a full round of Kulwant hall on His car. After talking to devotees on the veranda Swami went inside the interview room. At around 8.40 Swami called in Pujya Sant Shri Rameshbhai Oza the famous Gujarati Pravachan guru who delivers Bhagwat & other Katha’s on stage and on live spiritual television across India. Pujya Sant Shri Rameshbhai Oza along with four of his followers were inside the interview room with Swami for over half hour, in the interview room Swami materialised a special ring for Shri Rameshbhai Oza ji. A 9.15 the party of 5 men came out of the interview room looking very happy. Swami followed after and went inside the Bhajan mandir after attending the bhajans for 15 minutes, at 9.30, Swami was given the customary Aarthi thus concluding the morning program at Prasanthi Nilayam.

In the evening Swami came at 3.30 p.m. Swami walked on the veranda and talked to the devotees sitting there. After sometime, Swami sat on the arranged chair. Swami looked fresh and in a very cheerful mood. After sitting down Swami called the students one by one near Him to accept their cards, letters and also granted them Padanamaskar. At around 4.20 p.m. Swami created a ring and presented it to a student by putting it on student’s finger. After blessing the devotees with extended darshan Swami went inside the interview room, after 15 minutes [5 p.m.] Swami came out and went inside the Bhajan mandir to listen to the Bhajans; at 5.20 Swami signalled for Aarthi after the evening Aarthi, Swami drove back to His residence.

Update on Sant Shri Rameshbhai Oza visit: Shri Rameshbhai Oza arrived 7.40 a.m. at the Puttaparthi airport by private charted plane, after getting a warm welcome by Prasanthi Officials, Sant Shri Rameshbhai Oza and his 5 member party took the short drive from airport to Sai Baba’s ashram – Prasanthi Nilayam . He was called in for Interview and Swami materialized a special diamond ring for him. Sant Shri Rameshbhai Oza also visited Sri Sathya Sai Super Speciality Hospital & Chaitanya Jyoti Museum. Sant Shri Rameshbhai Oza flew back on His charted plane for his Porbandar ashram at around 4.40 p.m.

Shri Rameshbhai Oza was quite overwhelmed by Swami’s divine love and omniscience. Sant Shri Rameshbhai Oza also extended Sri Sathya Sai Baba an invitation to come to his ashram in Porbandar. The tour of Prasanthi Nilayam campus, hospital and museum really made a deep and indelible impression on the visiting Sant.

There is not much rush of devotees in Puttaparthi at this time of the month, so for the most part Gents devotees are enjoying the good and close darshan of Swami, that is, when Swami chooses to come to the Gents side. It is Gujarat Sevadal that has the sevadal duty these days and it seems that they will be leaving in few days time. Perhaps already tomorrow, Gujarat Sevadal will be relived by Kerala and another state. - SBOI
