1995-12-25 - Monday - Christmas

Carols guitars etc drowned as Ramu had made them with built-in short! But program sounded OK as the common-mode gain could cope! Swami's Hostel visit (expected) ⇒ good lunch + several sweets c/o audio crew. (Parthi Hostel had been inaugurated on 25 Dec, so in earlier years, You would visit on that day.) I returned from Mandir only around 12 after winding up & helping KBR/KVR to shift things to Poornachandra. Morning woken at 2.30 by II PG, not wet, so not unpleasant. Satya bumps. Went to Mandir 20 minutes late, 5:20 am, still in time! (for the Christmas balcony darshan).


You gave namaskar to the singers ⇒ You were pleased with the program. JOY - Jesus first, Others next, Yourself last. Then they sang, "We want to be with You" to plead to come to Hostel. You seemed pleased, but didn't come to Hostel. While I wound up cables, You came! and gave saris to ATP (alumni) Messengers of Sathya Sai! You were talking to them somewhat harshly (at least when I was near the pillar). Later, I went behind, Sai Sir's advice.

Poornachandra - they were practicing when I took mics etc there. Finally, the Messengers didn't attack boys, but You mentioned boys aren't doing (seva) tho' independent. (Christmas used to be the day when the Women Alumni, Messengers of Sathya Sai, would have their meet. Invariably - at least in the early 1990s - there would be some mention in some speech of theirs that boys get so much attention, but they don't do seva, or something along those lines. This year, You mentioned that in Your Discourse instead of them.)

Jesus pledged (1) Enjoy Divine Love (2) Not swayed by criticism (3) Spread Love. Obstacles are like Anil Kumar's spectacles. Christmas Thatha in Turkey. Agents Messengers, spend lakhs to come here as money comes & goes & Morality batteries charge. Paul & Matthew used to hate Him, He transformed them. Devotee ⇒ have unity. Love ⇒ Joy.
