Onam Festival Commencement
Monday, September 5th, 2011
Marking the auspicious homecoming of legendary king of yore, Emperor Mahabali, the land of Kerala, popularly known as God’s Own Country, is all set to celebrate Onam festival once again during this week, in Prasanthi Nilayam.
Sai Rehabilitation Project, a noble scheme that takes care of post operative patients from the twin Super Speciality Hospitals in Prasanthigram and Whitefield, is entering in its third year of inception with the advent of Onam 2011. The project that began with Bhagawan’s explicit blessings in 2008 has been an epochal one, touching many lives, serving thousands upon thousands in the past three years in the field of medicare.
Under the project, a first post operative check up of patients is be done after 15 days that is followed by two more checkups in the next three month gap. A get-together, aptly named ‘Hrudaya Sangamam’ follows sharing the joy and awareness of entire ‘family’ of benefitted patients. Last year Prasanthi had witnessed the first ever Hrudaya Sanghamam in the immediate Divine Presence, when a sizeable number of ‘patients’, including many of muslim origin, had come from selective districts of Kerala, during the holy month of Ramadan, celebrating the final festive day in His immediate Divine Presence.
This evening Sai Kulwant had a special gathering of over 400 operated patients and families along with another Parthi Yatra group of 500 School Teachers. The coming days, till 9th Sept Prasanthi is scheduled to have special Onam programmes.
This evening as usual Vedam and Bhajans continued and Mangala Arathi was offered at 1800 hrs.
