International Music Programme

Tuesday, January 25th, 2011

Emerging at 1820 hrs., this evening, Bhagawan came on stage at 1840 hrs. after a full round of darshan. A combined music programme by devotees from two different nations, Czech Republic and New Zealand was scheduled for the evening. During His darshan round, Bhagawan spent awhile at the front block interacting with the combined troupe.

Five minutes after adorning the dais, Bhagawan nodded to commence the programme. Initial blessings ensued that was followed by an invocatory prayer “Ganaanaam Thwa…”. The troupe sang for the next half-an-hour, Czech Repulic followed by New Zealand. Songs were in the native languages of both the countries apart from English and a numbr in Telugu-Hindi mix. The programme lasted well over half-an-hour. Bhajans by the troupe followed before Bhagawan accepted Mangala Arathi at 1930 hrs. With Arathi on, Bhagawan blessed the concourse with an abhayahastha.

As Bhagawan continued to sit, He blessed a couple of youth from the troupe, one each from Czech and New Zealand with Vibhuti Prasadam before calling some more lucky ones, two ladies, again one each from both the countries, to come on to the stage to receive His blessings.

His blessing right palm turned upward, lifting itself producing an ‘inimitable’ circular motion. With His index finger He did another ‘inimitable’ action, His very own, ‘scribbling something in the air’ as His gaze turned fixed at the august assembly. …It was time for Bhagawan to leave.
