Sathya Sai Darshanam – The Beauty Beyond Compare!!!
Monday, August 5th, 2013
With Bhagawan amidst us, every day, every moment is auspicious; still, Holy Thursday assumes a special significance in Prasanthi and thus the title ‘The Auspicious Day’. The Divine Darshan on this auspicious day had been most marvellous, with His Divine Benevolence chose to play host to a rare musical serenade.
Given below is an excerpt from the Darshan Story on 5 August 2010 in Prasanthi Nilayam as chronicled by The Prasanthi Reporter…Let’s read..assimilate…live with it and thus manifest HIM, our Beloved Mother Sai!
Let’s re-connect to PRASANTHI DARSHAN UPDATES to connect to THE BEAUTY BEYOND COMPARE!!!
Thu, Aug 5, 2010: Today, in this auspicious Thursday evening, emerging at 1705 hrs. to the chants of Vedam, Bhagawan went for a slow round of darshan before ascending the portico in fifteen minutes.
The Lord Who had long ago declared ‘Fostering the Vedas’ as one of His prime mission seemed to be explicitly doing the same; Bhagawan spent awhile at the primary block watching ‘little buds’ blossoming breathing Vedic air. As He made His presence, the children got into a crescendo, ‘chanting to the heavens’ completely ‘immersed’ in His presence.
Gliding through the lower portico, blessing the mandolin duo, U Srinivas and U Rajesh, Bhagawan came onstage at 1725 hrs. Vedam chanting ceased in next five minutes and something special was in the offing.
This time it was to be a Mandolin Serenade! Carnatic music was to flow from the mouth of the tiny brittle instrument called Mandolin! The little lad whose musical genius made him a child prodigy, who weaved carnatic musical magic on his chosen instrument, who went on to become a maestro in the art, Mandolin U Srinivas, alongwith his brother Mandolin U Rajesh, was to perform onstage in the Divine presence.
As the duo took Bhagawan’s blessings, music flowed asserting her oneness with Him, as if emphatically reiterating the saying, “Music is Divine”. Playing selected Carnatic collections, ably assisted by ‘in-house’ hands on Tabla and Mridangam, the duo presented a fitting tribute to some of the past Masters of Carnatic Music, dedicating the presentation to the Master Musician Whose greater benevolence played host to the evening’s musical serenade.
Starting with Vatapi Ganapatim of Muthuswami Dikshitar the duo went on playing Endaro Mahanubhavulu, Telisi Rama, Rama Nannu Brovara, all compositions of Saint Thyagaraja, Raghuvamsa Sudha of Patnam Subramaniam Iyer to end with Venkatachala Nilayam Vaikunta Puravasam of Saint Purandara Dasa. The duo has been awaiting ‘their’ turn during the past few days, praying fervently for His Divine approval.
