Ayudha Puja commenced this morning with
Bhagawan's darshan at 8.20. After a full darshan round, Swami came
onstage and sat for 15 minutes. Then, He moved towards the garage
on the Eastern side of the Mandir, where four of His cars were
kept ready for His Blessings. The students' Bhajan group
started bhajans there, and the village band added to the festive
mood. The puja was done for the cars with breaking of coconuts.
The Golden chariot (in which Bhagawan had given darshan during the
Paduka festival in 1997-98) was also brought out and worshipped.
Bhagawan then came to the Mandir Verandah and saw off the students
who went around the Mandir and proceeded for Grama Seva. Bhagawan
then went into the interview room. At around 10 o'clock, He went
to the Poornachandra. After a few minutes onstage, at around
10.15, He asked for the Arati, and then returned to His abode.
More villages in Puttaparthy Mandal were covered in today's Grama
Seva.
In the evening, Swami came out at 3.20 pm, and directly went out
on a drive to the Indoor Stadium construction site. When He
returned after half an hour, He alighted near the interview room,
walked down the Verandah talking to some elders on the way,
Blessed Prof. Anil Kumar by calling up some family members and
granting them padanamaskar, sat onstage for fifteen minutes
listening to the Vedic chants, Blessed the 'Birthday boys' and
then went to the interview room. At 4.55 He came into the Bhajan
Hall and asked for Bhajans to begin. Accepting Arati at 5.35 pm,
Bhagawan retired for the day.
