Hum Ko Thum Sey Pyaar Kithna… Echoe Former Students… Thursday, January 1st, 2015 Coining together rich virtues learnt at the Lotus Feet, reflecting inherent talents nurtured by Bhagawan, former students of SSSIHL assembled at the Sanctum Sanctorum at Prasanthi Nilayam this evening reflecting and resounding their unbounded love for Beloved Mother Sai. The Master Who has a unique ‘taste for test’ has often ‘tested His folks for their tastes’, bringing forth rich innate talents. Every New Year, when the Alumni return to the portals, they bring back these rich talents as a token of gratitude for their Swami. This evening’s session commenced at 1630 hrs. with a procession of flag bearers, escorting Bhagawan’s palanquin, to the backdrop of Veda chanting. University Brass Band is unique and indispensible in every major function in Prasanthi Nilayam. Pooling together the talents from yester years, the Alumni Brass Band then offered a unique musical offering producing some scintillating numbers. Themed after Lord Shiva, the presentation began with a fusion number on Shiva Panchakshari. A couple of Bhajans followed next, played with western blend. The programme was interspersed with recountals of rich memoirs, often going down the memory lane. A Video Presentation followed next, titled after Bhagawan’s Old Mandir, popularly known as Patha Mandiram. It was 70 years ago, on Dec 14, 1945, that Bhagawan, for the first time, moved into the Patha Mandiram. The presentation with rare old footages coupled with commentary attempted to portray the ‘formative’ years of Sathya Sai Avatar. Illustrating the ever-inspiring-transforming tale of a Sai student, the grateful students then presented the final programme for the evening, a Dance Drama entitled “Premamrutham. View flash Photos/Slideshow sssbpt.org/images/2015/NewYear2015.swf Set against the backdrop of Vaikunta, with Lord Vishnu narrating the story of a Sathya Sai Student to the foursome, Hanuman, Jambavan, Narada and Ganesha, the presentation was studded with real life incidents at the hostel, telling the tale of transformation through His mysterious Hands, done in His most inimitable fashion. Abhay, the protagonist with a modern background, was a fresher in the hostel. Finding the going tough, with strict rules and time table much against his background, Abhay decided to leave the hostel . God has His own plans and He does His cards in His inimitable fashion, puzzling, embarassing and then transforming His child. The process is painful but the product is beautiful recounts Lord Vishnu, that stands testimony to the All-Knowing-Almighty’s plan in moulding His students. Rightly, life with Sathya Sai does not run by logic, but with love…and an ever grateful Abhay, the protagonist, finally chooses to serve the world as a well-moulded Sai student, taking His message across, by being an ideal Sai students, making his life His message. The presentation served as a timely New Year reminder to the fraternity and the devotees in general, of the need to be an ideal, following His footsteps. Presented with a mix of videos and real acting, the drama had a scintillating Shiva dance, to the tune of the famous song “Bho Shambho Shiva Shambho…”. The beautiful offering came a close with the song “Humko Tumse Pyaar Kithna…”, Prasanthi’s evergreen song of Divine Romance. Bhajans continued and ended with Mangala Arathi at 1920 hrs. A collective refrain ‘WE LOVE YOU SWAMI’ echoed the Prasanthi precincts… Sai students’ unique style of spelling out their Love… in loud and clear fashion.
