‘Thus Far’ – Memories Poignantly Pirouette A Replay
25th March 2011, the Divine Chariot cruised along on a carpet of adoration that distinctly flowed from every heart that had gathered in Sai Kulwant Hall that evening, for a glimpse of God. All necks craned to view this most adored form. Awe, exultation and deep reverence did exude forth embracing the ever loving and living God.
Only on retrospect do these lines echo imploring an encore – ‘Tum Ko Dekha Toh Yeh Khayal Aaya Zindagi Dhoop, Tum Ghana Saaya…Hum Ney Kya Khoya, Hum Ney Kya Paaya…Oh! Lord, The thoughts that flit through the mind upon viewing Your Beloved Form, makes us realize that You are that vital shade that soothes and refreshes even as life represents scorching rays of the Sun…Yet, when no longer visible, can we fathom/acknowledge what have we lost or comprehend /assess what have we received or gained…?” read more »

This being the first new year after Bhagawan’s physical passing on last year had a nostalgic flavour of His mighty physical presence.
On the 25th morning after the regular Vedic chanting by the students, Panchanga Shravanam (recitation of religious almanac pertaining to the coming year) was conducted by noted vedic scholar Sri Kuppa Siva Subrahmanya Avadhani. As the festivity marks the beginning of a new Panchanga, it is significant to conduct Panchanga Shravanam, hearing of the annual forecast as predicated in the Panchanga. read more »
