July 25th: 10:00 am - Sai Baba came for visit this morning and we all got a good darshan.

Sai Baba coming from a visit on July 24th in Puttaparthi Today morning at 7:15 am Swami came for a visit outside mandir and we got very good darshan even though the car went quite fast. Then we waited for half hour or so and Swami returned once again giving good darshan. There were quite a few people waiting outside mandir along the side of the road. People are usually so busy and get so agitated when some delays happen, so its kind of strange to see them wait hours for just a glimpse of our Divine lord Sathya Sai Baba. I think Swami wants to teach us something through this.

Sai Baba coming from a visit on July 24th in Puttaparthi Around 4:00 pm this evening people quickly gathered on the side off the road. Before we could get a good look Sai Baba's car passed us by very quickly not giving us enough time to get the camera out. But i got a good darshan because i had no camera in my hand and, i was seeing Swami directly and not from the camera. But when coming which was 10 minutes after that we had our camera ready and got a video for you. When coming more people were along the side of road because it was in between darhsan and bhajans. This bhajans have just started as i am updating this.

July 23rd: 7:00 pm - Cutural programs by the devotees from Karanatak in Puttaparthi

Today evening in the presense of Sathya Sai Baba the devotees from Karnataka performed music and dance program. It really was nice, hopefully we will get pictures of it. They even haded out a phamplet of bhajans they sang and performed. The program ended ending the events for the day. So there was no bhajan this evening.

July 22nd: 9:30 am - If you were in Puttaparthi you could not have got a better darshan .

There is a Yagna callled Rudra Yagna which is going to start on August 9th in Puttaparthi. The Ati Rudra Mahayagnam involves performing of 11 rounds each of Rudra Homams daily by 121 priests. Thus daily 1331 Rudrahomams will be performed. During a period of 11 days a total of 14,641 Rudra Homams will be performed by the 121 Ritwiks(priests). There are a number of Poorvanga(Preliminary) rituals associated with the Homam. Vasoddhara Homam performed at the end of Rudra Homam is worth witnessing when we can pray to Lord Rudra for grant of all our Material and Spirtual desires, requirements and wants. Such a Homam have been performed in the past for LOKAKALYANAM(Welfare of General Public) either at temples or other suitable venues in the prescence of Sanyasis or Holy persons like the Kanchi or Sringeri Sankaracharyas etc. It is, no doubt, unique in the sense that it is going to take place in the prescence of Bhagawan Baba. Provided by Carl Rosen.

This is not confirmed but there is a lot of talk in Puttaparthi about a yagnam that is going to happen on august 9th.

July 22nd: 9:30 am - If you were in Puttaparthi you could not have got a better darshan .

Sai Baba coming from a visit on July 22nd in Puttaparthi Even if you were in Puttaparthi you could not have got a better darshan because Sathya Sai Baba didn't come for the morning darshan and came for a visit outside mandir after just sitting for one bhajan at 9:30 am on July 22nd. So most of the devotees were in the bhajans. So you get the better darshan than them atleast for today. And we are more than happy to bring it to you.

While Swami was coming back to mandir, we were taking pictures and right before where we were taking pictures Swami gave blessing with Abhaya Hastam (Divine Hand). You can see that in the picture on the right. Why didn't i shoot the second video rather than taking pictures while coming. You can't have everything can you....

Garland offered by a devotee turns into OM Symbol A devotees pointed to us about the video we posted on July 17th in which Garland offered by a devotee turns into OM Symbol on Sathya Sai Baba's Car. If you look closely you can see a garland offered by a devotee after falling on Swami's car turn into Om symbol. Now I recall people saying ahhh when the garland fell on Swami's car because usually they slide off Swami's car but this one sat in the middle of the wind sheild. It really was a pleasant surprise.

Sathya Sai Baba coming from a visit on july 7th at 10:15 am In the evening there was a musical drama by the devotees from district of Buldana which is in Maharashtra. They performed the life story of Moses. Here are few words from the phamplets of the events,

"Moses is great example of the teachings of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba where Man is exhorted to manifest Human Values in action and wear the jewel of character in day to day life."

This morning the programs for the Ashadi Ekadashi started in Puttaparthi. There were two dance programs by the devotees from Maharashtra and Goa. Then there was a drama about animal questioning why their name was were being used by humans to describe their bad qualities, for example "He is cunning like a fox" or "She smells like a pig" etc.. At the end of the drama there is a good message which is since humans still have some animal qualities in them they are using animals to blame them. So we should change those qualities and become humans. The drama ended and soon after that the aarathi began and prasadam was distributed. There are more programs in the evening at 4:00 pm.

Would it be a real Ashadi Ekadashi without seeing Swami, So we got a video of Swami coming from a visit outside mandir this morning at 10:15 am which was even a surprise for us.
