As the clock ticks leading into the stipulated hour, before the final darshan possible this evening, there is palpable tension in Prasanthi with every heart and soul weeping within, embarcing the fate, geared up to give a final good-bye to The Lord of Parthi, her Beloved, Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba.

While the unending stream of devotees continue even at this declared final hour, unless an extension comes by, there is a security cordon in Puttaparthi this evening as Prime Minister of India, Manmohan Singh along with UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi are expected anytime to pay homage to Beloved Bhagawan. The Prime Minister had visited Puttaparthi twice earlier, as Chief of Annual Convocation for the 69th Birthday followed by during the latest convocation, as recently as in November 2010 on the occasion of 85th Birthday of Beloved Bhagawan.

 

Devotees stand in a queue to pay their last respects to the spiritual guru Sri Sathya Sai Baba at an ashram at Puttaparti in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh April 25, 2011. Sai Baba, revered by millions of followers as a living god, died on Sunday in a hospital in southern India. He was 86. Sai Baba, who was admitted to hospital in his hometown of Puttaparti a month ago, died of multiple organ failure, media said.

It had been a case of rejoicement, great merriment for Parthi, over and over again, welcoming The Lord every morning and evening and even during His staying away at Bangalore or Kodaikanal, welcoming her Beloved back to her precincts, every time when He returned. It is indeed hard for this privileged land to bid fare-well to this most ‘loving persona’, Who lived a life sticking to His preaching. His Life has always been His Message and it is time for everyone who loves Him to follow the path shown by Him, and the legacy left behind by the Sri Sathy Sai Avatar.

Lead Kindly Light, Oh! Beloved Lord!

With Sai devotees continuing to surge into the Puttparthi to offer their homage to the Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, authorities on Tuesday extended the final darshan timing till midnight.


 Inspector General (Rayalaseema Region) Santosh Mehra said the darshan timing, which was to end at 6.00 pm today, has been extended till about midnight.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi and External Affairs Minister SM Krishna are among the VVIPs who are expected to visit the town – Puttparthi this evening to offer their tributes to Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba.

23 new Photos & update from Prasanthi Nilayam It was 6 pm when Swami accepted Aarthi. At that time, one of the members of the youth jumped up and seemed to rush to Swami. He was quelled by the security. However, Swami asked one of the students next to Him, “What does he want?” The lad wanted padanamaskar. Swami called him and told him to take padanamaskar. That lad was in highest bliss and he cried shamelessly at Swami’s feet. Ask him how Friday the 13th was and that will summarize how days with God are!.. Read More
