Andhra Kodai Visit : Day 2

A pleasant day 1 that included Bhagawan’s message, for us to be unfaulty buckets positioned rightly to receive His Grace and Love from the Divine Tap, gave way to an interesting and colourful day 2.

The day commenced with Aumkaram and Suprabhatham at 5:15AM, during the Brahma Muhurtham, getting the devotees to start the day with Divine chantings. As the sun rose and birds started chirping all around, Bhagawan performed Rudrabhishekam that had 3 cycles of Rudram chantings. As the hall was drenched in Divine vibrations, Swami lovingly asked all devotees to take turns to perform the Abhishekam to Lord Shiva. Breakfast followed bringing the early morning session to a close.

At 10:00AM, during the morning satsang, the devotees were in for a devotional treat. Bhagawan’s loving ‘Shabari sisters’, two elderly sisters young and child-like at heart, offered a garland of Telugu Devotional songs on Bhagawan for Bhagawan. The entire hall was moved by the devotion filled in their voices.

Bhagawan delivered His Morning Discourse that praised the Shabari sisters for their bhaava. Bhagawan shared the secret of sustaining one’s devotion for the Lord. He told that craving for the Lord alone can sustain the devotion, and for that one needs to keep contemplating on Swami. Bhagawan went on to provide a couple of examples from Srimad Bhagawatham. He compared Krishna to the white paper and Radha to the text or letters on it. Swami closed His Discourse by asking everyone to read the scriptures and to put the teachings into action.

The evening session took place in the open lawns outside the Bungalow. A traditional dance called Dimsa Dance was performed by locals in Araku Valley. Adorned in earthly tones of green and yellow, the performers impressed their Lord with fast and interesting formations, dancing to the beats of local instruments such as dappu, tudumu, mori etc. This was followed by a presentation by the ‘Divine Technology’ team who shared updates about the social media and website updates to the audience. A devotee from Chennai shared his experiences of Love that he received from Bhagawan. A sumptuous dinner followed bringing curtains to a devotion-filled day 2.
