Today is the New Years' Day in many parts of India; Yugadi for the
Telugus and Kannadigas, Gudi Padva for the Maharashtrians and Cheti
Chand for the Sindhis. This morning, Bhagawan also inaugurated His new
residence opposite the Poornachandra auditorium, which has been named 'Yajur
Mandiram'. After arriving in Sai Kulwant Hall at 8 o'clock and taking
His full darshan round in the car, Bhagawan, resplendent in a yellow
robe, came walking onstage and sat there for a short while. Then, He
took Arati and proceeded to Yajur Mandiram seated in His special
Lamborghini vehicle, preceded by the Bands of the Primary School, the
Anantapur Campus and the Prasanthi Nilayam campus of the Institute. At
Yajur Mandiram, Bhagawan first Blessed the Puja being conducted in the
entrance hall.
Doctors and other guests were seated, ready for the Banquet being hosted
by Swami, in the twin building adjacent to Bhagawan's residence. Swami
went there, Blessed all of them and then proceeded to the Poornachandra,
where all the students and teachers were being served Lunch. Taking a
round there in His chair, Swami went back to Yajur Mandiram and
proceeded upstairs.
In the evening, Swami came to Sai Kulwant Hall a few minutes past 4
o'clock. After He sat onstage for a few minutes, the Vice-Chancellor
announced that the students would present some songs and a skit relating
the significance of Yugadi. The skit incorporated the "Panchanga
sravanam" or the reading of the almanac, and conveyed Bhagawan's message
that as long as we have God's Blessings (Anugraha), the nine planets (grahas)
cannot affect us. After this programme which also incorporated several
songs, Bhagawan indicated that He would be giving us His Divine Message.
The text of Bhagawan's Yugadi message will be available here soon.
By the time Bhagawan completed His Discourse, it was past 6.15 pm. Then
prasadam was distributed to all, and Bhagawan retired to His abode.

The last few days saw several programmes put up by the students at very
short notice. This evening witnessed a drama by the school boys, Bhaktha
Chaitanya, on the life of the poet saint Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. After the
Chaitanya drama, Swami asked for an impromptu dance by the dance group,
with the song 'Ramanna Ramudu' being sung live.... And then a speech in
classical Telugu by one of the Institute students, followed by songs and
bhajans. On the 27th the school boys of the X and XII classes who had
finished their exams presented some skits interspersed with songs, based
on Swami's Chinna Kathas. Also read below : SBOI Ugadi news from Prsanthi
