Mon, Aug 23, 2010: In this expectant auspicious “Onam” evening, The Lord made His grand entry at 1710 hrs., escorted by auspicious tunes of Panchavadyam, a temple associated art form of music with an orchestra of five instruments, that was preceded by a group of band girls from Sri Sathya Sai Vidyapeeth, Sri Sailam, Vedam and Nadaswaram boys apart from girls with Thalappoli, who stood on either side at the ladies’ end, welcoming The Lord!
Completing a full round Bhagawan moved further into the ladies’ side before turning about to come onstage at 1725 hrs. Proceedings began in the next five minutes with the State President making an announcement on the Inter Collegiate and School Level Essay Writing Competition held in the state by the Organisation attended by over 15000 participants. Gold Medalists, Kum Anjani Hariharan and Kum Sukanya, from each of the category, were introduced to the audience who came onstage to receive the medals from the Divine hands.
A unique programme by the Balvikas children bringing in the essence of Kerala’s cultural and spiritual heritage, entitled “Keraleeyam” came next that was followed by a dance drama entitled “Margadhara”, depicting the illustrious story of ‘Balatapaswi’, child ascetic Dhruva and his pious, virtuous mother, both of whom were rewarded by the greater heaven to become eternal stars for their surrender and highest devotion to God.
Between the presentation, Bhagawan had moved off the stage for a short while and was back in time for the final scene wherein Lord Vishnu was conferring the boon on to the little lad. Upon the end of the one-hour presentation, as per His command, safari pieces and sarees were given away to the participants. Soon it was Mangala Arathi time and as the Arathi song was being sung, Bhagawan moved down the dais to pose with the tiny tots for the day’s evening session. A couple of boys were blessed with materialised Vibhuti prasadam.
Returning onstage, Bhagawan asked for an encore of “Samastha Lokaha….” before blessing the concourse with abhayahastha…Moving off the dais, Bhagawan retired for the day at 1925 hrs. bringing curtains down on this year’s episode of auspicious Onam!
