The first Parthi Yatra, post the new phase of Prasanthi with Bhagawan’s Maha Samadhi, that came from Medak district of Andhra Pradesh offered a bouquet of devotional songs at His Divine Lotus Feet this evening in Sai Kulwant Hall. The programme commenced at 1700 hrs., after the half an hour Veda chanting by students, with an invocatory prayer “Shuklambhara Dharam Vishnum…”

Reveling in His unfathomable glory, entwining various attributes of the attributeless Divine, the guest artiste for the evening representing the district, Sri Sasidhara Sharma, an accomplished TV artiste, accompanied by eleven accompanists sang for the next 45 minutes before students took over for a fifteen minute bhajan session. At the end of the session, before Mangala Arathi, an announcement on the Water Project Scheme implemented in the district was made, offering gratitude to Bhagawan for His immense love and compassion to the suffering people of the district. 196 villages have been benefitted from this stupendous scheme supplying “Elixir Divine’ to the drought affected areas of the district. Special Mangala Arathi was offered at 1800 hrs. and special prasadam was distributed to the entire gathering.

The group from Medak included 200 men and 500 women devotees. The group is to continue with their cultural offering tomorrow as well.

A special guest block comprising of medicos attending the ongoing Ortho Conference was also present for the evening session.
