Upanayanam, Hostel visit, Easwaramba Day! Drizzly. Upanayanam started with 70 Vatus + Swami, procession to SRH (Sai Ramesh Hall). Lunch - You came (to the Hostel dining hall) soon after they (boys + fathers) sat, rites other than Brahmaarpanam too. Morning music routine (meaning that I get up half an hour before Suprabhatam and put on devotional music on the PA system, like I used to do during my 2nd year BSc.) Wrote diary in pad, forgot to bring this book (the small diary).
Upanayanam for 70 Vatus - You went onstage with procession, rites for 10-15 minutes. You walked among them, Vatus + parents, throwing Akshata. Coming back, You signalled for mics - Nandagopal Sir and I were waiting, we put table + mics. You had to wait for the Purohits to stop chanting to start the discourse. I sat onstage in front of Krishna statue. Help parents, show gratitude, Bhoor Bhuvaha Suvaha, Para Upa Kara = Paropakara.
Screenshot from this video - Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba | Divine Discourse on Ramayana | Summer Course | May 26 1996 - the Krishna statue is seen on Swami's left.
Evening - Kalyanamantap Bal Vikas Kannada drama Hari Paada Vaibhava. I stayed in Kalyanamantap testing mics when S. G. Sir went to Mandir - just in time for Bhajans. Cramped Kalyanamantap "backstage" crawling with kids. OK drama - Rama, Krishna, Vamana, Swami - Kanyakumari put pearls at Swami's feet.
