Images of Holi
Celebrations in Prasanthi Nilayam
March 15th, 2006
 Today, the devotees from
Bihar and Jharkhand were blessed by Bhagawan to celebrate the festival of Holi in
His Divine Presence. The Sai Kulwant Hall wore a festive look with
banners carrying some of Swami's pithy sayings, and the ceiling of the
central part of the Hall was decorated with brightly coloured reflective festoons. The morning program commenced at
7.45 as soon as Bhagawan came onstage after His darshan round. The first
item was a Navagraha Stuti dance. The songs which followed all reflected
the joyous mood of the Holi festival, and some were depicted in dances
too. Devotees seated on either side of the central clear area of Sai
Kulwant
 Hall threw coloured powder into the air at
regular intervals, adding to the Holi
 atmosphere.
Bhagawan was very pleased with the hour long program. Bhajans commenced
after the program, and Bhagawan came down from the stage in His chair to
give group photos for all the participants. Prasadam was also
distributed. Not content with giving group photos to
only the Balvikas children who performed the
dances, Swami went towards the ladies' side and had group photos with
the ladies from Bihar and Jharkhand seated there. Then the gents too got
an opportunity. After all this, at
the conclusion of Arati, Bhagawan Blessed the entire congregation with
both His hands.
In
the afternoon, the Holi program continued with the
presentation of a play on Bhakta poet Vidyapati of Mithila. Lord Shiva
Himself comes as a servant of Vidyapati moved by his devotion. Bhagawan
was very pleased with this performance too. In fact, He paused the play
for a minute or so
 near the end, to give a ring to one of
 the main
characters! After the drama, Bhajans were sung by
the Bihar and Jharkhand devotees, and prasadam was distributed to the
performers.

This evening also, Bhagawan came onstage after darshan. After Bhagawan
had some interaction with the Senior Hostel Warden, some of the Music
College students scrambled to get their instruments. Bhagawan had agreed
to have their Hindustani vocal musical program. The song program
commenced at 4 pm and went on for an hour. Many pleasing and well known
songs including Meera bhajans were sung by the students to the enjoyment
of all. After the music program, bhajans commenced in the Kulwant Hall,
following which Bhagawan returned to His Poornachandra residence.

This was the last Sunday before the examinations commence for the
students of the Sri Sathya Sai University. The final year students of
the Anantapur womens' campus had come to seek Bhagawan's blessings. In
the evening, Bhagawan asked two eminent devotees to speak. Sri Chitti
Babu, educationist and former Vice-Chancellor of a number of
Universitites was the first speaker. He spoke for around 20 minutes,
mentioning how he had come to Swami afflicted with illness and how we
should share our experiences with others. The second speaker was Dr.
Jayalakshmi Gopinath, Warden of the Anantapur campus Hostel, a devotee
of Bhagawan for the last 57 years. She spoke for around 45 minutes, with
references to some of the leelas of Bhagawan she had been witness to in
her long association with Him. After these speeches, Bhagawan sat
onstage for a few bhajans and then retired for the day.

After Bhagawan came for evening darshan, He went walking upto the stage
area and asked some teachers seated there about what program was
arranged for that day. In fact, the students were preparing for exams
and no program was planned. But a Burrakatha - traditional narrative
interspersed with songs - had been planned by some of the students a few
days back, which could not be presented then. Now, those students came
forward and Bhagawan gave them the green signal to present the
Burrakatha, complete with costumes. In just ten minutes, the students
got ready to start their 45 minute presentation. Prof. Anil Kumar made
an introductory announcement, mentioning the short notice and the
approaching exams of the students. The Burrakatha was introduced as "the
History of Shirdi Bhagawan as narrated by Parthi Bhagawan". Bhagawan was
very pleased with the crisp Burrakatha and bountifully blessed the three
main participants along with their accompanists after their performance.
