Brindavan trips....
January 22nd, 2006
Swami has been playing ‘Hide and Seek’ with all devotees for
the past few days. On Monday 16th of Jan, suddenly around
11.00 a.m. we got the news that Swami may be going to
Brindavan. The rumours soon gained strength and finally
turned out to be reality. It was around 11.50 a.m. Some of
us were standing across the road outside the College. Most
of the students were having their lunch in the Hostel.
Swami’s Benz car came along the road. Bhagawan was seated on
the back seat with brother Satyajit next to him. We could
manage to have a glimpse of Him as He sped away to
Brindavan.
At Brindavan, Bhagawan reached at around 3.00 p.m. and
retired inside Trayee. However, around 6.00 p.m., He came
out and all the students rushed inside Trayee to have a
beautiful Bhajan session in the Trayee lawns. The next
morning, Swami gave Darshan in the Sai Ramesh Krishan Hall
at around 9.40 a.m. in the morning. He walked from the door
leading to the dais till His chair with some help. Evening,
there were Bhajans from 5.30 p.m. onwards, for an hour or
so. A similar schedule went on the next day too.
On Thursday morning, which happened to be the 5th
Anniversary Day of the Super Specialty Hospital at
Whitefield, there were hopes that Bhagawan would Bless the
Hospital with His visit. However, it did not happen so. Some
senior doctors and Swami’s students working in the Hospital
were standing behind the door leading to the stage in Sai
Ramesh Hall, with a cake for Blessings. Bhagawan did Bless
the cake and all of them too.
It was around 11.00 a.m. when He came onto the dais for
Bhajans. After the Bhajans, Swami stood up to speak
something. Thinking that Swami would give a Discourse, a
mike was arranged immediately. But Swami just said that He
would go to Parthi now and come back soon by the end of the
month to give all of the devotees lots of Ananda. After
this, Swami left for a senior devotee's house, spent some
time there and had Lunch. At 2.15 p.m. He left Bangalore for
Parthi.
Bhagawan's car entered the Mandir at exactly 5.00 p.m. when
the Omkaram for the Bhajans began. Swami stopped the car
near the interview room and got down. Then, sitting on His
chair, He went out towards the Ladies side and proceeded to
the Poornachandra on the chair itself, giving beautiful
Darshan to all on the way. Bhajans were going on. After a
while, He came out again, took a full round in the Kulwant
Hall, took Aarti and went back again.
On Friday morning, Swami was out for Darshan by 7.30 a.m.
itself. Later in the morning, Swami Blessed the General
Hospital with a visit and spent a long time interacting with
the doctors. In the evening, we waited expectantly to have
His Darshan but He did not come out.
On Saturday morning, the 21st of Jan, He came for darshan
just before eight o'clock in the morning. After the darshan
round, the Porte stopped near the interview room and
Bhagawan came out in His chair. He made a short round of the
middle portico, taking letters from the gentlemen seated
there. Then He got into His car and went on a long drive,
upto the nearby town of Gorantla, returning around 9 am. In
the evening, Swami came for Darshan at 3.45 p.m. The car
took a cut after the Ladies section and went straight
towards the interview room. However, not stopping near the
interview room, the Porte proceeded further, took a full
round along the Gents side and then turned towards the
Gopuram. We thought Swami must be going out for another
drive, but this time He did not return and went all the way
to Brindavan.
Bhagawan reached Brindavan at 7.50 p.m. yesterday. This
morning, Swami gave Darshan at 10.00 a.m. Bhajans were sung
by the Seva Dal volunteers. It went on till 10.40 a.m. after
which, Swami took Aarti and retired for the morning.
