Mar 1, 2010: March 1st arrived and with the advent of the new month the holy festival of Holi. With over 1400 devotees from the northern states of Bihar and Jharkhand camping in Prasanthi, the auspicious morning was blessed by Bhagawan’s darshan.

Bhagawan came ushering into Sai Kulwant Hall at 8:50 am while Veda chanting was on. After making a complete round Bhagawan settled on the dais as Veda chanting continued till 9:05 am when He nodded for the bhajans to commence.  Bhagawan sat through the one hour long bhajans session, feasting thousands of eyes with His Holy Holi Darshan, till 10 am when Aratrhi was offered before He retired to Yajur Mandiram.

In the evening a cultural programme, song a dance presentation, was scheduled as part of the Holi celebrations. A colourful backdrop was set in the centre of the hall and Balvikas Children from the states were seated awaiting the Lord.

After the one hour stint of Vedam all eyes were fixed at the Yajur Mandiram entrance for the first sign of His arrival. As per the Divine command, bhajans commenced at 6:00 pm to continue until 6:30 pm when Arathi was offered as Bhagawan preferred to stay indoors.
