 Four of Bhagawan's cars were arranged in front of the garage in the Mandir for Blessings this Ayudha Puja morning. Some more vehicles were parked in front of Yajur Mandir. Swami came to the Poornachandra stage while the Yagnam went on at 10.40 am. After the eldest pundit spoke to Him, Bhagawan accepted the Arati by the priests seated onstage.

At 11.20, Swami came in the chair to Sai Kulwant Hall, and moving straight to the garage on the Eastern end of the Mandir, Blessed all the vehicles (including the Golden Chariot) and drivers.
