There is an uncommon thrill in welcoming The Lord in Sai Kulwant in the morning hours. This Sunday morning turned out to become very ‘special’ as it earned a surprise darshan, a rarity these days. Reciprocating to The Lord’s magnanimous gesture, a fully charged up Sai Kulwant welcomed Him with great devotional fervour.
When bhajans continued beyond the scheduled arathi time at 0940 hrs. Sai Kulwant got the first hint of a possible morning darshan. There was an unusual bustle in the assembly and devotees started pouring in, filling in vacant spots around. Bhajans peaked to intensity and the whole of Sai Kulwant was fully charged up, anticipating the Divine arrival.

Two full rounds in the car, at a very slow pace, snaking His way through the assembly of devotees sums up this holy day’s darshan story in Prasanthi Nilayam.

Emerging at 1900 hrs. Bhagawan went for a full round of blessings before coming on to the dais to preside over the bhajan session this evening in Prasanthi Nilayam. Sitting on stage, ten minutes into the session, Bhagawan gave a beautiful smile to one of the boys in the front before calling for Mangala Arathi, ending the session abruptly.
In the hush that followed the Mangala Arathi only round of applause could be heard as Bhagawan took leave of the dais. Going round of Ganesha and coming on to the lower verandah, Bhagawan patiently listened to a couple of men before moving into the car to retire for the evening at 1925 hrs.
