September 13: Yesterday evening there was a musical program called "Mother Eswaramma" by the Sathya Sai Balavikas from Andhra Pradesh. They performed a dance ballet. The story goes like this Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba has chosen srimati Eswaramma as his mother. The versatile life of Smt. Eswaramma was the essence of the subject of this dance drama. Smt Eswaramma is an innocent village lady who is untouched by the ways of the world. Tears of kindness used to be welled up in her eyes. When she finds others in distress or difficulties. These acts of her kindness and compassion have made Bhagawan to choose her as his mother. Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba has led the ordinary compassionate kindhearted generous lady to the height of great devotee. Ultimately he made her worshipped by the whole world as the mother of Lord Eswara I.e. Eswaramma! For this she has performed unparalleled sadhana and she has undergone endless difficulties in her sadhana. All the difficulties led her renunciate the world and took a great deal of interest in God.

The great mother Eswaramma; one day had the darshan of Lord Sri Ramachandra in Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, and her heart was filled with pure joy. The next day she has described it too to peddabottu. The musical dance ballet is replete with these kind of generous and compassionate anecdotes.
