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.
