Slept after bath in preparation for "Jaagarana" (remaining awake the whole night) till 6:20. So, was late to Mandir, relatively back row. Swami sat in front of Ganesha, facing the music boys, for music program + stotras.
Screenshot from this video, where Swami's sitting in approximately the same place, a few years later.
Quite good - they got padanamaskar. Swami went around everywhere, throwing sweets from a big carton, giving sweets (chikki - peanut brittle) to small boys, went outside & blessed the milling crowds. Met only Achan (Father) - they must've left after discourse. T. M. Soundarajan followed by bhajans.
Was I too cold to A2 (parents)? Anyway, they're going today without meeting again. Sleeping in the morning 5 to 6 & afternoon 12 to 3 helped in not feeling drowsy (during the all night bhajans), I think. Your Discourse - about sarvavyapaka anu shakthi (omnipresent atomic power) that is God. Takes up whatever form the container has. If Blind, can't get kerchief though on table - mime.
I'm singing Bhajans quite like an automaton, occasionally remembering "Easiest to overcome flaws" tonight.
