January 14 , 2008

This morning, Bhagawan came to Sai Kulwant Hall at 10 o'clock as the Bhajans went on, and proceeded to distribute rugs to the elderly devotees there, moving in His chair all over the Hall. After distributing a few hundred rugs, Swami came to the Bhajan Hall were the Bhajans were continuing, and took a round of the hall moving down the aisle. The Bhajans lasted nearly two hours as He accepted Arati past 10.50. While returning to His residence, Swami stopped near the Primary School students in His car for nearly 15 minutes. The Anantapur campus students presented a musical programme in the evening. The songs got underway as Swami came onstage after His darshan round at 5.10 pm. The audience was treated to an ensemble of semi-classical and East-West fusion songs for the next forty minutes, after which they began singing Bhajans. Bhagawan called the Principal of the Campus and Blessed her with a chain. After twenty minutes of Bhajans by the Anantapur students, Bhagawan asked the regular Bhajan singers of Prasanthi Nilayam and Brindavan to go into the Bhajan Hall and start Bhajans there with aalaaps. After fifteen minutes of their Bhajans, Bhagawan asked Prof Anil Kumar to announce that the Valedictory function of the Sports Festival would be held tomorrow. He then accepted Arati and returned to His residence at 6.40 pm.
