This morning, Swami came at 8.30 and took a full darshan round in His car before alighting at the Mandir portico. In the evening, after coming to the Mandir at ten minutes to four, Bhagawan went into the interview room. A few minutes later, He came into the Bhajan Hall and sat on His throne. With a smile, He asked for the Bhajans to commence immediately. So Bhajans were from 4.10 to 5 pm today. After Arati, Swami called the Vice-Chancellor and other functionaries of the Institute inside the interview room, talked to them for a few minutes, and then returned to His residence.
For most sessions, Bhagawan has been coming straight from His residence to the Mandir portico without taking a full darshan round. Using either the Porte or the Prius, Bhagawan alights near the interview room and walks inside. A few minutes before bhajans, He walks to the Bhajan Hall and sits on the throne there. Then He contines the Bhajan for around 45 minutes before taking Arati and leaving for His residence. Morning darshans have not had a fixed pattern: on Saturday Swami came at 8.45, on Sunday at 6.55 and did not come at all on Monday.
On the evening of the 13th, Tuesday, arriving at the Mandir at ten minutes to four, Swami chose to walk outside and sit onstage listening to the Vedam. He sat there for nearly 20 minutes, picking up letters from some of the students by calling them up. Then He returned to the interview room. At 4.30, Bhagawan came into the Bhajan Hall and once again interacted with quite a few of the students and teachers there. Swami would notice someone and start talking to him from the chair. The lucky student would then get up and go next to Swami and continue the interaction for a minute or two, till Swami asks him to go back. This went on for another twenty minutes before Bhagawan indicated for Bhajans to commence. Once again, it was a long Bhajan session, continuing till Arati at 5.45 pm.
