April 28th: 6:00 am - Swami near haridwar in 1958.
We have a special surprise for you. One of my relatives was on tour and when he came back he had a surprise for us in the pictures he brought back from the trip. One of the places he went was a temple called "Vashista Gruha". Let me give you a little background on this.
In a discourse few months back Swami talked about a place 30 kms from Haridwar. When Swami was touring that part of the region. Swami met a sage who did meditation in a cave and wanted to see Swami. Even the cave is a bit hard to reach on foot Swami goes to see the sage and spends time with him. And the sage passes away on Swami’s lap. When the sage passed away the whole cave was covered with vibhuthi. My relatives said that they still could smell the vibhuthi in that cave.
My relative also said that many people are visiting that place and he also cautioned about the road which is really rough and carved along the side of a hill which is pretty rough. See you didn't have to go through all this we bring it right to your computer.

April 20th: 7:30 pm - Update from KodaiKanal
We just had a update from Kodaikanal. Today Swami went twice outside mandir to visit some devotees. In the morning bhajans Swami gave good darshan to the devotees and presented one of the ladies with a golden ring. The morning bhajans were at 9:20 am in the morning. In the evening the bhajans were a bit late at 6:30 pm because Swami went outside the ashram for a visit. The evening bhajans have just finished. So its good to know that Swami is giving darshan regularly. There are many devotees in Kodaikanal for Swami's Darshan.

April 7th: 6:30 am - Its Sri Rama Navami in Puttaparthi
Sorry about getting too excited about rama navami a day earlier. Its sri rama navami today and it was not yesterday as reported. There was an announcement today that there will be a program tomorrow morning at 8:00 am. This is the day Lord Rama was born, so this day is celebrated as Sri Rama Navami. We have no information of any programs that are planned today. But mostly there will be some bhajans about
lord ram and may be a discourse of Swami but that is very unlikely. Swami has not been in Puttaparthi for many Rama navami's so it hard to tell what to expect today.
