This evening, Bhagawan came for darshan at three o'clock, and after
spending a few minutes in the interview room, came outside and sat onstage
for an hour to the accompaniment of Vedic chants. Students with letters
for Swami had a bonanza - He called them up one by one, and they could
hand over their letters, maybe have a word with Him, take padanamaskar and
return to their seats. Two students even received materializations from
Swami - a chain and a ring respectively. The Birthday boys were also
blessed. Then came the prasadam distribution - mini packets of Glucose
biscuits for all! After all received prasadam, Swami got up and walked
back to the interview room. Just before five o'clock, Swami came to the
Bhajan Hall. After a few minutes of interaction with some students,
Bhajans began. Swami took Arati at 5.30 and retired to Yajur Mandiram.
Yesterday and the day that also witnessed similar sessions in the
evenings. On Monday morning, Bhagawan had gone on a drive upto Gokulam
past the construction site of the Indoor Stadium, returning before the
Bhajans commenced at the Mandir. Construction work at the Indoor Stadium
site goes on apace day and night, with the whole area flood-lit at night.

This Sunday evening witnessed a Symphony Concert with traditional Indian
instruments, arranged and performed by the students of the Sri Sathya Sai
Mirpuri College of Music at Prasanthi Nilayam. The students had carried
all their instruments for every darshan since Saturday, hoping to get the
chance to perform for Bhagawan. Bhagawan asked for His car to stop near
the stage area itself during His darshan round, alighted there, and sat
onstage. It was 3.30 pm. Swami had a few words with the Principal of the
Music College, giving the green signal for the programme. The students got
all their instuments, sat in a semi-circle right in front of Bhagawan, and
commenced.
The first song was a Ganesha Stuti, with the initial music by tablas and
mridangams and tunes on Sitar. Next, they introduced the main rhythms and
presented a fusion of the popular song 'Bho Shambho', Bhajan 'Bhasma
Bhooshitanga Sai Chandrasekhara' and different rhythms. Veenas supported
the vocals in this 15 minute piece. The popular tillana in the Raaga 'Kadana
kutoohalam' paved the way for the last piece, 'the Heart-beat' - a
Carnatic-Western fusion overture which rounded off the 45 minute
presentation.
Bhagawan returned to the interview room a few minutes after the programme
concluded, and later, came for Bhajans in the Bhajan Hall.

This evening, the Australian youth group had been instructed to sit in the
Bhajan Hall, Swami had indicated that He would talk to them. When Swami
arrived for evening darshan, He went and sat onstage with the Vedam
chanting going on. After 45 minutes, Bhagawan proceeded to the Bhajan Hall
and interacted with the Australians. We could hear bursts of joyous
laughter as the Lord filled them all with His Divine sweetness. They sang
some songs for Swami, too. After their session, they were asked to
continued to sit in the Bhajan hall for Bhajans, which were led by the
students as usual.
