16 th Feb. Today morning Swami didn’t took a long round among devotees, only the few sitting blocks near the dais were extra blessed with close up darshan of Swami. Rest of the devotees enjoyed Swami’s darshan from far. After a small round among the men side devotees near the dais, Swami came back on the dais for few bhajans and unexpectedly signalled the boys thereafter Swami left the dais before Arathi on His mobile throne.
15th Swami really surprised everyone by coming early and signalled the boys to take His mobile throne among the devotees. Whitefield darshan are always full of surprise since one can sit in the last row or sitting block but that doesn’t mean one can’t have the opportunity to get close darshan. Swami even gives close darshan to the last lines i.e. devotees sitting outside Sai Ramesh Hall. Guess, all devotees will agree that one’s chance of getting a close up darshan of Swami in comparison to Puttaparthi really gets multiplied here in Brindavan ashram.
Evening darshan were just amazing also in the evening Swami decided to give joy to devotees by coming among the devotees on His mobile throne. The devotees were going completely wild since Swami took a double round today. Seval dal simply gave up controlling the devotees. Swami was all smile it was one of those rare darshan where nearly all the devotees got close up darshan and in all the sitting blocks of Sai Ramesh Hall.
14th Feb. The Yajana ended today with Swami’s coming to the kalyan mantap blessing all present there He also gifted new clothes to priests performing the Yajana rituals. Swami stood beside the Yajana homa (fire), Swami’s face was radiating with the glow of flames which were quite high, virtually touching the ceiling. Bhagavan also materialized a sutra. After the Yajana it was announced that there will be prasadam distributed to all the devotees. A plastic dish filled with food and desert etc a steaming hot feast was distributed to devotees lined up to receive prasadam.
Evening darshan was filled with sweetness of
Bhajans singers’ voice. Swami stood up holding the railing and after few
bhajans sat down on His mobile throne. After the Arathi Swami walked back
to His residence.

Darshan News
Today morning the bhajans started at 9:30 a.m. after 20 minutes Swami came and stood beside railings for 1 bhajans. At appx. 10:10a.m. Arathi was given to Bhagavan, Swami stood up during the entire Arathi. At one point during the Arathi Swami nearly bended down on the railing and looked charmingly down at the bhajans singers. After the Arathi Swami walked the long distance to His abode. Yajana is still going on, mostly there is a long line up on the ladies side to come inside the Kalayna Mantap and listen to the chanting but not many men devotees. – Source SBOI-
Today evening Swami came at 5:10 p.m. Swami stood up for 1 bhajan after that Swami sat down on His mobile throne. However it was not before Swami’s mobile throne was moved on Swami’s order towards the stage-lift on the men’s side. It was quite an exciting moment for all the devotees since it gave all a hope of close up darshan and perhaps a chance to present letter to Swami. Sevadal had a tough time controlling the devotees. Swami also came & gave close up darshan on to the ladies side. Swami took the stage-lift up on His mobile throne from ladies side. After that Swami was offered Arathi. Source- SBOI

Whitefield Darshan News
12th Feb. Morning Darshan: Swami came out at appx. 09.25 a.m. Also today Swami walked out of the curtain entrance walked towards the railing, holding it as support. Swami stood up for 2½ bhajans today giving bliss to all devotees present. Swami also joyfully put his handkerchief on the railing today. Swami looked quite cheerful and relaxed. Swami blessed (twice) the devotees sitting in Ramesh Hall during the Arathi after the artahi 2-3 sevadal (men) came up on the dais and got pada-namaskar. Most of the devotees rushed after the darshan to the kalyan mantap where the Yajana is going on. There are all together 10 priests sitting and chanting the sacred mantras the microphone is passed on one by one to each of them so that devotees can hear the mantras thru the loud speakers. The atmosphere is charged with divine vibrations and one gets the feeling of being cleansed by the Vedic mantras. Source- SBOI ( www.saibabaofindia.com )
Evening- 12th Feb.
Today evening Swami came out at appx 5.05p.m. as usual Swami stood up with the railings support for sometime, at least for 2 bhajans Swami was up and all the devotees at the back too could get wonderful darshan. Also, today evening many boy students sang poetry at least that’s what it sounded like and paid tribute with pearls of verbal expressions to the good Lord; after that all the students stood around Swami and took photographs. Swami walked back to His residence accompanied by the students. Yajana is still going on. We anticipate that Swami will be staying in Whitefield for some days so if you are planning a trip to India we suggest that you check out where is Swami? before you book your air travel, taxi and hotel. May God bless your visit. – Source- SBOI

Feb.
10th & 11th: - Whitefield News
Many devotees have informed SBOI that there is
a special Yajana going on in Whitefield at the moment, initiated by
Swami Himself. The sacred yajna by priests is being performed not in
Sai Ramesh Hall or Darshan hall but in the smaller hall i.e.
Kalayna Mantap opposite the darshan hall, nearby the gate to Sai
Baba's residential rooms. The yajana will continue for 4 days. today
11th Feb. Swami gave wonderful morning darshan. Evening
Darshan at 3.p.m. the token lines started going inside the Ramesh
Hall at 4 .p.m. the token lines were inside. Of course devotees who
come after the token lines try to find the best place but it is
quite difficult to find any good or close to dais “seats” at 4.30
p.m. sevadal at ladies side distributed water to all the thirsty
ladies devotees. At 5 bhajans were in progress all eyes were locked
on to the curtain entrance where Swami normally makes His entrée.
Swami didn’t disappoint those thirsty eyes; Swami came walking at
5.05 p.m. entering thru right side of the curtain, he walked holding
on to the railing with His hands. Swami stood up for 1 ½ bhajans and
talked to the boys (students I guess) on his left side and it seemed
most of His divine looks today were towards ladies side, perhaps
ladies are praying harder :-). After that Swami sat down in His
wheel chair thru out the bhajans. Bhajans ended at 5.35. At the
arthi time Swami stood up Himself by holding the railing. Swami
walked back towards the curtain entrance, the boy on the right side
was holding baba’s hand the boy on the left tried several times to
hold baba’s hand to give Him support but Swami refused by his hands
gesture. Also, today Swami was seen walking back all the way to his
residence which is quite a long way. - Western canteen is closed
even though there are many westerners. After & before darshan it is
very dusty on the main road due to traffic and dry sandy dust on the
road sides. However, one forgets all the inconveniences and gets
charged with divine energy and vibrations one experience during
Swami’s darshan. For all those who want to know how the weather is
.. it is very pleasant, take a light sweater for morning token lines
since it can get chilly. Sairam – Source: SBOI team-member. http://www.saibabaofindia.com/saidailynews.htm

Brindavan Blossoms 8th February 2006,
Wednesday – Sri Sri Ravishankar visits Brindavan
In the morning, Swami came out at around 9:45 AM. He walked up to the
front of the stage, where he stood holding the railings for support
enjoying the bhajans for a few minutes. He continually indicated that the
naal wasn't being played all that loud. He also asked by gesturing whether
the boys didn't have breakfast or not. At this slightest cue, the whole
hall resounded with rejuvenated clapping and loud singing. At 10:30 AM, He
got up for aarathi.
It was an interesting sight to see the boy who climbed up to offer a rose
to Swami, at first very happy that he could be so close to Swami, gazing
at Him for a long time, because Swami looked everywhere except at him and
the rose which he was holding in front of Him, and then later, rapidly
getting anxious as it dawned on him that Swami may not take the rose after
all! After the aarathi, Swami turned the other way to go back; the poor
boy had to run over to the other side and offer the rose to Swami, which
of course, He took with a mingled expression of surprise and mischief.
In the evening as we assembled in the Sai Ramesh Hall, we noticed that a
nice chair was placed behind where the aarathi boys sit. This place is
used to seat VIPs only on function days generally when Bhagawan gives a
discourse. Enquiries revealed that it was meant for His holiness Sri Sri
Ravi Shankar, who was coming for Swami's darshan.
The bhajans started at 5:00 PM. At around 5:15 PM, the founder of the Art
of Living Foundation arrived along with five to six disciples. They
carried a huge basket of fruits and had in their hand invitations to the
Art of living Silver Jubilee celebrations. All of them were clad in white.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar had his head covered and was wearing a simple white
dhoti and a long white cloth with red jarri border wrapped around his
body.
As they came to the place where the chair was kept, one of the disciples
took out a long cloth like a bed spread and covered the chair. Sri Sri
Ravishankar then sat on the chair.
After a few minutes, Swami arrived, on the stage, walking. He stood near
the front railing and smiled at the boys and indicating the throat and
signaled 'is nice'. In the morning Swami had indicated that the bhajans
following was anemic. So boys were singing with greater fervor and this
was recognition of the effort!
Swami stood for a couple of bhajans and then sat down on Porte chair.
As the bhajans continued Swami indicated a couple of times that the tabla
shruthi was not okay. On being changed He signaled that it was alright.
Then He indicated that the naal was not being heard…. At 5:45 PM, Swami
got up. Aarathi was offered and Swami went in walking.
All this while, Swami had not even glanced towards the place where the
aarathi boys sat. After aarathi was over, Seva Dal elder Sri Venkatraman
and others led Sri Sri Ravi Shankar inside through the main gate.
As Swami walked towards the door inside, one of the AVC brothers prayed to
Swami to sit down. "Where?", "Swami the chair is behind you please sit
down". Swami lovingly told him "No, that is not my place. My place is in
your heart!"
Meanwhile Sri Sri Ravi Shankar was approaching Swami with his head covered
and hands folded. Swami held his hand and spoke a couple of words. Swami
then walked all the way to the interview room flanked by Sri Sri
Ravishankar and the brahmacharis accompanying him on one side and our
brothers and elders on the other side.
As Swami went inside the interview room He called two Italian devotees for
interview. Swami took them inside the personal interview room and spoke to
them for one hour as Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji and his followers waited,
patiently. Bhagawan then called the Swamiji and his group into the drawing
room. He also called Mr.Parida (and his family), Chairman AP Electricity
Power Transmission Corporation and Mr. Kandaswamy and his family. Swami
gave all of them a long group interview.
When finally the Swamiji and his group came out at 7.45 PM, there were
visibly happy. The Swamiji had come to personally invite Swami for the
silver jubilee celebration of the Art of living foundation which is being
celebrated on a very grand scale in Jakkur air field from the 17-19 of
February. Newspaper reports also say that the 50th birthday of the
holiness is being celebrated concurrently. After giving interviews to all
those called, Swami went upstairs only at 7:55 PM!

February 6th: Lunar New Year
celebrations in Whitefield.
Bhajans started at 5 pm in the evening. Sathya Sai Baba walked in by the
curtained entrance at 5.25 pm. He gave blessings while holding on to the
railings and then sat down. Bhajans continued till 6.10 pm. Swami then
stood up for aarathi, giving blessings for the whole duration of aarathi.
He then sat down and waved several times before being wheeled out. So far
there are no indications that Swami is leaving here for Puttaparthi. It
seems that He enjoys the Bhajans here, sitting for longer periods than
usual. At least thats my observation. Julie Cheong
The Ramesh Hall was beautifully decorated in Red to usher in the Lunar New
Year. Bhajans started by the Lunar New Year Group at 9.30am, comprising
mainly devotees from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand. At
9.40am The Lion Dance Troupe ushered Swami into the Ramesh Hall. Swami was
wheeled up and down the centre aisle. He moved slowly upwards nearer the
gents' side , then U-turn and downwards nearer the ladies' side. He
stopped to talk for a few minutes to a male devotee who presented
something to Swami to see. He gave darshan to the Ladies and Gents of the
Lunar New Year groups who were sitting in the first block. He took the
elevator on the men's side up to the stage. All in all, darshan was 20
minutes. Chinese Bhajans started and thereafter the Group presented Swami
with presents like Chinese Tea, Chinese Cake "Leng Kor", Mandarin Oranges,
Chinese Scrolls and Sweets and Red Packets. Swami was making a lot of
queries on the Chinese Scrolls. These Items signify Prosperity, Peace,
Harmony, Good Health for the Coming Year. A Play on Chinese traditions was
presented. Bhajans continued till 11.05am and Swami took the aarathi
sitting down and left. Red Packets with goodies were distributed as
Prasadam. We wish everyone A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS LUNAR NEW YEAR.

Sai Ram all
Yesterday morning on the 9th day of the Chinese New Year, our heavenly
Father came out amidst the colorful, exuberant parade of costumed dancing
dragons and children.
Swami came through the women's side of Sai Ramesh hall and journeyed down
the centre aisle to the utter delight of His devotees, taking letters,
talking and touching the lucky ones. He came back down the centre aisle
and crossed over to the men's side, showering them with His nectarine
presence. Then He came back thru the front row to women's side and onto
the lift. He sat out on the verandah thoroughly enjoying the Chinese New
Year Program.
The program included some beautiful bhajans sung in Chinese. The men and
women also presented Sai Avatar with gifts symbolizing the positive
qualities of the New Year. For instance, on one occasion they gave 2
mandarin oranges to Swami, representing wealth. Also a pair of scrolls
which Swami studied and an album which the divine Lord spent a long time
about a good 10 minutes poring over. Later I found out they were photos of
the Tsunami. Swami happily accepted all the gifts offered.
The children put on a small performance which Lord Sai appeared to enjoy
very much.
More bhajans were sung as Swami lavished His love on all the devotees
present. We were all walking on air after this supremely happy festival.
Yesterday afternoon Darshan, our Lord sat out on the veranda for about an
hour we were all swimming in Bliss. These have been absolutely heavenly
days with our Swami.
Yesterday evening I went for dinner at the Sai Renaissance hotel and
chatted with a lady devotee from Vermont, a little while later a young man
from Italy joined our table . During the course of our conversation, he
mentioned a female devotee in Italy named, Lodovico eLella Coperchini, He
witnessed her house in Italy a little stone Ganesha idol drinking milk. He
said, she placed the milk in front of Ganesha and right before his eyes,
Ganesha sucked up the milk with His trunk!!!! she also had photos
manifesting vibhuti and a little silver box that constantly filled up with
vibhuti.
I saw the garland lady the same evening, she has promised me one of her
garlands tonight!!!! Sai Ram!!!! More later.
Lots of prema

Sairam dear members of the Sai family,
Today is a Sunday on a cold, foggy & misty morning at Brindavan
Whitefield.....
Its 6 am and already the lines outside the ashram gate begin to swell as
most people want to make the most of this holiday for the darshan of our
beloved swami.
Its 8.30 am the SAIRAMESH hall is almost full, with every inch of space
occupied,the sevadal volunteers are busy making additional space to fit in
more devotees by asking all to sit closer. The time is 9:30am when we hear
the music start, followed by the chanting of
OM... OM......OM.......
followed by bhajan on LORD GANESH after which its the turn of the ladies
singers alternately to sing.
Amid singing of the bhajans all eyes are on stage for the entry of SWAMI,
however till about 10:25am there is no sign of the stage lights coming on
signalling the arrival of swami. At 10:30am a vip devotee, who happens to
be a former chief minister, former primeminister and father of the chief
minister of Karnataka Mr Devegowda enters the hall and is seated in the
vip section of the hall.
Just as everyone feels that today we may not get darshan as its almost
10:35 am- the stage lights are just switched on & within 5 minutes we see
movement behind the curtain on the stage...Lo & behold...our dear Swami
walks through the curtain till the railing bringing relief to the parched
eyes of all the people in the jampacked hall.
Standing for about a minute before sitting on his sofa and enjoying the
bhajans for about 20 minutes swami gets up a little ,prompting the lady
singer to stop,but swami signals her to continue the bhajans.Strange are
the ways of the lord in keeping his devotees happy,swami signals to come
down dose'nt sit on the sofa but walks till the elevator on the gents side
comes down and walks to a devotee blessing even Mr Devegowda for a while.
Supported on both sides of his arms swami prefers to walk amongst his
students seated in the front,blessing them along the way towards the
ladies side, taking letters from quite a few too..he moves towards the
entrance on the ladies side followed by his close devotees wheeling the
empty chair ...... but swami prefers to instead walk!! it looks as though
swami may go back from there itself but he prefers to walk back to the
elevator on the ladies side, is brought up and walks to the centre of the
stage,the empty chair is soon brought up behind swami and he sits down on
the stage enjoying the bhajans,blessing us again.
He was beginning to leave when a bhajan on nanda gopala starts swami sits
again this time amid loud clapping ,we all are transported back to
Vrundavan ,during the time of lord Krishna playing his pranks with his
gopis and friends.this is followed by a bhajan on lord Shiva taking us to
kailash parvat amidst the singing,swami is engrossed totally enjoying the
last bhajan.Its 11:30 am swami gets up and stands up against the railing
blessing all again. AARTI is taken and amidst loud singing of the aarti
our beloved swami hesitatingly walks back to the curtained door.....
followed by vip devotees...retireing for the morning.. truly a wonderfull
walking darshan experience..... sent by sanjay
-------------------------------
Bhajans started at 9.30am. The Sunday Crowd was big and waited restlessly
before Sai Baba showed up at 10.40am. Sai Baba walked in through the
curtained entrance and stood for a while holding the railings and sat for
the Bhajans till 11am.
At 11am, Sai Baba decided to give 'WALKING DARSHAN". He took the gents'
side elevator and walked to the 1st block gents' side, spoke to some
devotees and collected letters. He walked all the way to the lst block
ladies side and went back on stage using the ladies side elevator. He sat
again for Bhajans for another 15 minutes before standing for the aarathi.
He walked out via the usual exit.
It seems the Lunar New Year Bhajans would be held on 6th Feb. It's
rumoured
that Sai Baba may return to Puttaparthi after this function. Let's wait
and see and LOVE HIS UNCERTAINTY. presented by Julie Cheong.
-------------------------------
February 5th News today evening in Whitefield, there was Bhajans full
day. Swami walked in at 5.25 pm and stood at the railings for a while.
Shortly after, Swami's arrival students asked him to bless a picture. The
students started recitation and singing. They sang with so much love and
devotion for Swami. At 6.10 pm the Governor of Karnataka walked in and sat
at the VIP enclosure. The students' presentation finished at 6.20 pm.
Swami stood up for arathi and walked out of the stage at 6.25 pm. Oranges
were appropriately distributed as prasadam (During the Lunar New Year, in
the Chinese tradition, Oranges are also distributed, as a token of
prosperity)

Feb. 3rd news from Whitefield.
Last few mornings, here in Whitefield the weather is very cold. A jacket
is required for those arriving here. Today Friday morning Swami did not
come for darshan and Bhajans. Bhajans started at 9.30am -10.00am. Devotees
of Asian Countries, from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia etc...
are here to celebrate the Lunar New Year with Swami. It seems that they
are arranging to sing Bhajans for Swami. Bhajans started at 5 pm. Swami
walked in through the curtain entrance at 5.40 pm. He stood at the
railings and gave blessings and then sat down till 6.10 pm and took
aarathi standing up. Swami waved many times to the crowd (I hope he is not
indicating he is leaving for Parthi.) Prasadam was distributed after the
aarathi. Let's see tomorrow's morning darshan. presented by Julie Cheong.
Very strong indications that Swami might travel back to Puttaparthi on the 4th Feb. Nevertheless
we must love His uncertainty!

Sai Ram All
Yesterday afternoon's Darshan was just Paradise, Swami came out
beaming bliss. Again he allowed this young man, Mr. Poppet to give
an excellent lecture. He is not a student though as previously
stated. Mr. Poppet spoke with enthusiasm and intense energy,
delivering a powerful message. I was only able to catch fragments
of what was said, due to his rich accent, fast pace, and
intermingling of Hindi and English in his talk.
He referred to himself as the puppet and Swami as the puppeteer. He
spoke at length about the different levels of consciousness, rising
above body consciousness and encouraged us to take up the
responsibility of becoming good devotees putting into action
Bhagavan's teachings. In addition, Mr. Poppet said according to
Swami the true reason why people become ill, is because they are
not connected to the Source and that Swami is the source of all
bliss and peace.
He also mentioned that people pass remarks about Baba not being able
to walk when in fact He is running the whole world.
I will stop here, perhaps these talks will be printed in full for
all to enjoy.
Our Lord blessed us with exceptionally close Darshan this morning,
token #2!!
He sat out on the verandah as we serenaded Him like joyful angels.
Then this afternoon, He walked onto the verandah and again lavished
His Krishna Presence on us for about an hour. We feel so blessed and
happy.
Sending all my brothers and sisters, Swami Smiles, Love and
Sweetness multiplied ad infinitum. :)))))
Lots of Prema
