Om Sairam dearest Sai Family,
Swami, after His 28 days of hospitalisation, He has left us all on a "physical level". Probably it was all part of the DIVINE PLAN to stay that long so that devotees would not be shocked to listen the sad news all of a sudden. Swami "pretended" to be in the body all these 28 days but it is only for us to minimise the sorrow. Such a great Avatar, even at the last days of His life, He preferred to make us happy. Since the day of His hospitalisation, there were millions all over the world who were praying for His speedy recovery. As Swami had told that He would be in the body till the age of 96, every one were hoping for a miracle. In Swami's DIVINE DICTIONARY it probably meant 86 and not 96.
As it is a great shock to every one, People in the streets of Parthi are banging their chest in grief. There are so many in the streets with tears in eyes, some are seated before the closed shops some on the pavements and every where.. Swami who had been part of our lives, especially to residents of Puttaparthi for whom every thing, every moment is SAI. It is a matter of great shock to the Sai Family. The great Avatar of Kali Age, has left us physically. But He has left us tons of " responsibilities". Sisters and Brothers, yes this is very sad news. The heart's of every devotee is hurt immensely. but a "true devotee" can never say that Swami is no more. If Swami was to be confined to His body, how could He be seen all over the world.
Swami was the only "person" in the world who wanted every thing to be give for "free". In the times when people don't even smile for "free", Swami has given world class medical services completely free to every one. There came one suggestion from some one requesting Swami to charge "little bit" to the rich who can afford to pay, and Swami our kind Lord said, there is no difference between "poor man's heart" and "rich man's heart' who could ever tell this.
Some years ago, in Kodai kanal, some officials were briefing Him about the arrangements for Eswaramma day and when one officer said, "Swami tomorrow we will have poor feeding", Swami corrected him saying, Sai's feeding can never be "poor feeding" you rather say "feeding the poor". Such is the kindness of Swami.
Swami who has given every thing to the devotees, has also given nutririous food to all at affordable price. Apparently couple of years ago, some one from the South Indian Canteen went to Swami and said, Swami our canteen has incurred great loss. So we have decided to raise the price from Rs.6 to Rs.10 for a full meal. Swami looking at him bit seriously said, if you irritate me like this, I am going to give the food for free. when it is Swami's canteen, why are you worried about the loss. It is my "business". Can any one do such Divine Business? No business man can make such a statement.
SWAMI'S SAMADHI ARRANGEMENTS:
Sai Kulwanth Hall, the venue for all the "historic" events in Parthi, will also be His Samadhi temple (tomb) in future.. Swami's divine body will be brought to the ashram around 4pm from the Super Speciality Hospital..there are already arrangements being made in the Sai Kulwanth hall. Swami's Samadhi would be on the dais from where He used to watch us all while we sing His glory. At present there are white curtains around the stage and the recently erected elevated wooden dais, is now completely removed. Any moment, they will start digging the dais. Meanwhile, the final darshan of Swami's BODY would start from 6pm, 24th april and the darshan will continue on monday, tuesday as well. in the morning of wednesday, the burial will be performed.
Police are making all the arrangements for the final darshan. I think Swami's body will be placed in the middle of Sai Kulwanth hall and ladies and gents would be allowed separately into the hall for the final darshan.
It is still unbelievable to know that we wont be able to see our beloved Lord in Puttaparthi. We devotees should not forget the great services rendered by the doctors in Super Speciality Hospital. Even though they tried their best, perfectly following Swami's message of KARMA YOGA, they(doctors) and We knew from the day one that it will be Swami's FINAL DECISION that will matter.We should also have to appreciate the patience and hardwork of Sri Sathya Central Trust and its members who tried their best to give ultramodern medical facilities to Swami in no time, all praises to Minister Geetha Reddy for all that she has done being a bridge of love between governemnt and devotees.
All the ministers, governors are reaching Puttaparthi. The Chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, Former Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Sri.Ashok Chavan have already come to Parthi. Sonia Gandhi, Prime minister Manmohan Singh, L.K.Advani, Ms.Jayalalitha and many other top leaders have expressed their deep condolences on Swami's Divine Departure. The government of Andhra Pradesh has declared 4 days of mourning.
It would be a very sad day for Sachin Tendulkar as his birthday unfortunately coincided with Swami's Physical Exit. He is also coming to Parthi tomorrow for the final darshan.
Since his hospitalisation, Swami was in headlines. while reporting they also spoke all the good work Swami had did and also His miracles. many people who were not in Sai Fold who were watching this did get an urge to have darshan of this great Avatar and hoped for one physical darshan but little did they knew that it was too late..
Looks like the final darshan will also be shown live in various TV channels as the arrangements are already being made. Please try the following links after 6 PM Indian Standard Time.
