Dear Brothers and Sisters!

Sai Ram.

This time the date of Swami's departure had gone public like never
before. Also Swami left Parthi after Sun rose. It rarely happens when
HE travels by car. HE usually leaves around 4AM (past experience). HE
was flying to Parthi this time. So I think it had to be in the
morning. What is more, that gave us a chance to run to Brindavan in
the early morning and wait on either sides of the road for a Car
darshan.

There were quite a number of people gathered on either side right from
Trayee to the main Ashram gate to the railway crossing. Seva dal had
formed a cordon and controlled the crowd well. At 8:05AM, Swamy's car
emerged from Trayee preceded by two pilots of the Hindustan
Aeronautics Ltd. Swamy was driving in the red car. May be the other
grey Mercedes has already gone to Parthi to receive HIM, I thought.

Bhagawan sat on the right side behind the driver. The other rear seat
was occupied by the young man who is ever so ready to lend a hand to
Swamy for HIS comfort. A very very fortunate young man indeed! Swamy's
car slowly drove and devotees lost in devotional frenzy threw petals,
garlands etc. on the Car. Bhagawan waved HIS hand for sometime. We ran
behind the Car shouting Jai to Swamy till the level crossing after
which anyway we can't keep pace with the vehicles. We prayed silently
to Bhagawan to grace us again with HIS divine Darshan soon.

Jai Sai Ram.
Ever at HIS Lotus Feet
