| Wed, May 05, 2010:   On the Easwaramma Day Eve, this evening, Bhagawan emerged just before 1645 hrs. to drive past ladies'end, proceeding towards Mother Easwaramma Samadhi where work was in progress for the installation of statues of Divine Parents' of Bhagawan's physical frame. Upon reaching the Samadhi Mandir at 1647 hrs., Bhagawan unveiled the newly carved statues of Mother and Father by pulling the ribbon string, thus sanctifying the same. Inside the Samadhi Mandir, Bhagawan went round raised platform bearing the Samadhi's of "Divine Parents", before asking to break coconuts on all the four corners of the 'Mandir' inside. Spending almost fifteen minutes at the venue, Bhagawan accepted Arathi before returning to the Mandir just after 1700 hrs. Earlier,  Bhagawan was accorded a traditional welcome at the Samadhi Mandir with Vedam and Bhajan troupes escorting Him to the venue. The entire area was spruced up and was covered with flowers and buntings heralding the auspiciousness of the occasion. The function was a private affair and thus general devotees were not permitted inside. On the road, leading to the venue, hundreds  were lined up to catch the glimpse of Bhagawan. Returning to Mandir at 1705 hrs. to the chants of Vedam and Nadaswaram recital, Bhagawan came for the "balance round" through the gents'  side to come onto the portico through the slope on the gents' side, skipping the Vedam block. Alighting near the interview room, Bhagawan spent sometime outside the interview room before proceeding to the bhajan hall to emerge through the rear door, coming onstage at 1715 hrs. Listening to the holy chants of Vedam mixed with the nadaswaram recital in the background, Bhagawan sat onstage for the next half-an-hour, till 1745 hrs. before moving off the interview room. Bhajans began at 1745 hrs. and Bhagawan, emerging yet again at 1800 hrs. moved through at a snails pace, cutting across the upper portico to come onstage at 1812 hrs. Shortly, He called for Arathi and upon accepting Arathi Bhagawan spoke the priest before calling Mr. Narasimhamurthy, Warden, Brindavan Campus for the annoucement to be made on the next morning's function. The annoucement read as follows: Easwaramma Celebrations would be held in the next morning at 1000 hrs. and the idols of the parents of physical frame of Bhagawan would be installed at the Samadhi Mandir during the auspicious occasion. sourced: http://www.sssbpt. org/Pages/ Prasanthi_ Nilayam/darshanu pdateMay2010. html |
