Bhagawan left for Brindavan by car this morning. He drove out from His residence at 7.30 am in the Mercedes Benz to Sai Kulwant Hall, and moved past the verandah to accept Arati from the car and move out through the Gopuram gate. Our next update will probably be after Bhagawan returns to Prasanthi Nilayam.

Devotees from East Asian countries were seated in the centre of Sai Kulwant Hall this evening for Buddha Poornima celebrations. Bhagawan came around 5 o'clock in His chair and moved up the centre of the Hall and came to the verandah from the Eastern side of the mandir. After Swami came to the stage, the half-hour programme of songs got underway. After the choir selections, the devotees began singing Bhajans. After a few minutes of their Bhajans, the students sang a Bhajan with Alap as Swami blessed the conductor of the Buddhist group with a chain. Bhagawan moved to the interview room, and at half-past six accepted Arati before retiring for the day.

After Eswaramba day, for the last few days, Bhagawan has been coming in the morning as well as the evening on most days. He has been going around the Sai Kulwant Hall in the chair, and also has sat onstage while the Vedam went on.
This afternoon, Balvikas children from Bangalore presented a drama in Kannada, Devarshi Narada. The children were seated in the Bhajan Hall when Bhagawan arrived a few minutes after 4 pm. Swami cut across to the verandah after passing the ladies and came into the Bhajan Hall, interacted with the children and the co-ordinators, saw their costumes and spent more than ten minutes with them. Then He moved to the stage and asked for the programme to begin. The 40 minute presentation gave glimpses of the stories of Narada mentioned by Bhagawan in His Discourses. After the drama, Swami blessed the participants and gave a chain to the child who played Narada's role. Prasadam was distributed as the students sang Bhajans till Bhagawan accepted Arati 40 minutes later at six o'clock before returning to His residence.

Bhagawan went to His parents' Samadhi in His car on the last two days, and this morning, arrangements were made there for the Eswaramba day celebrations. Vedam procession began from the beginning of Samadhi road after nine o'clock as Bhagawan arrived and proceeded to the Samadhi in His car. Swami went inside the Samadhi with some relatives, and after the function, Arati was offered around half an hour later. Bhajans went on in the Sai Kulwant Hall, and Bhagawan proceeded there where Dhoties and sarees were distributed to the village folk assembled in the Mandir. Prasadam was served in leaf plates, sweet rice and tamarind rice along with laddoo. Bhagawan sat onstage watching the distribution past ten o'clock and then retired to His residence as the food distribution went on.
In the evening, Swami came to Sai Kulwant Hall just after four o'clock. After He came and sat onstage for a few minutes, Prof. Venkataraman was asked to speak, and he spoke about the stature of the mother. Bhagawan then delivered His Divine Discourse, stressing on the importance of love and reverence for parents. After the Discourse, Bhagawan accepted Arati at the end of a few Bhajans and returned to His residence at 6.10 pm.
