A REPORT BY SRI MULLAPUDI CHANDRA MOULI

On Sunday the 13th July 2008 ahead of Gurupoornima Day here at Shivam Premises an Excellent Event on the theme of Reprogramming Lives……was set up. It is a unique one in as much as Youth from different parts of the State having settled in Hyderabad with their parents working with a meager earning to meet both their ends daily. That too! Aimless with their poor educational background.

These days even Small Shops, Establishments and Hotels have put up Computers. The boys were unable to meets the needy of the present day demand to acquire a suitable job. The thought of Word in Action reached the people via media and hundreds of applications reported to have poured in as revealed by Sairam Rama Chandra in the programme. It was found to be also a Herculean task to screen the needy students in accordance with the criteria laid. 50 Students in Shivam Computer Lab and 17 students in Saroornagar Computer Lab were selected and trained for 75 days. At the end Course completion certificates were given to all the trainees in the function. Some of the Students could also get Letters of Offer of Jobs with a decent job related salary. This is going to be an ongoing event…

It is all the Gracious Bliss showered by SWAMI on all the students trained in Computer Basics – M.S. Word – Power Point Presentation and Paint Brush – Personality Development & Spoken English and above all the Character to build up in the Divine Wave Lengths.

Sairam Balachandra welcomed the Students, Parents, Guests and every body. At the outset he requested every body to follow the programme word to word since every word has a story to tell behind. It is found to be true and through out the programme (9.30 A.M. to 2.00 P.M) students and even a large number of elderly people did not stir out from their seats and keenly watched the proceedings. Most of the parents, students and guests experienced Blissful Tears while listening to the pathetic stories of some of the students and their parents..Bhagawan’s Grace helped these poor families to a great extent from here on…..

There was not soul with out moist eyes when we see and hear this family story! The student has also got a letter of offer.

4. One student Trainee who was having a staunch devotion towards God since his childhood days was about to turn otherwise with the difficult situations faced by him and became almost gone into depression.

Nageshwararao Garu, Shri Venkat – EMRI (108 ) Garu have offered flowers at the Lotus feet of Bhagawan and also presented Certificates of Merit, Letters of Offer and Memento to each one of the student trainees.

The Gurukul School children (50) from Shankarapalli have also attended in between the programme and 3 Students of X Class who secured meritorious marks were honored with presentations.

The story of 8 students who attend classes from outside Hyderabad limits. They were in the service at Shivam by remaining overnight and also the self cooking process adopted by them was exciting. When one of the Lady Sevadal Sairam Smt Shasikala noticed their plight, jumped in to action by mobilizing 20 voluntary lady sevadal to continue cooking for these 8 trainees throughout the period. Their service is commendable. Bhagawan’s Grace must have been there as always.

The Faculty Members - Sairam Sripada Ravikiran Garu, Satya Prasad Garu, Ram Chandra Garu and 2 others have toiled hard to attend the classes and to mould the destiny of the trainee students to the delight of every participant. Every parent and student has acknowledged the guidance of the Faculty Members. Kudos to the entire Faculty from all of us.

Sairam Srinivasulu H. Garu District President Senior Most Sevadal and Ex-Member Postal Services Board, Sairam Shri Devulapalli Kailasa Prasad Garu has keenly watched the entire proceedings.

Shri Venkat Garu, EMRI Chief narrated the incident of how Bhagawan asked for their Service to envelope the entire Globe without limiting his 108 service to Hyderabad City alone. He was was very much toched and today by HIS grace he could provide the service to 50 Crore people across the 8 States. Further 4 States are to enter into an Agreement. He narrated his background as to how at the instance of his father he jumped into the service and assured to serve to the best extent. Incidentally our Roddam Ramchandra who is part of this programme to day is a serving official of EMRI actively.

Padmashri Shri M.V.Rao Garu recollecting his earliest tour to Ananthapur while on his way back to Bengaluru. At that time, he could go to Puttaparthi at the behest of accompanying principal of a college from Bengaluru.. In the first visit, he could not visit SWAMI though SWAMI visited his nearest relations’ house and enquired about him. He asserted that Ananthapur is the largest Ground Nut cultivated District in the entire Globe. This is pleasant surprise to the audience and obviously HIS grace again!

Many would be interested to learn that Dr.Rao at 82,is our SSS VIP Council chairman advising our members on Agro aspects. This has been a great and laudable service. The Sevadal and other Volunteers immense fully assisted the ongoing programme of action by providing additional chairs, serving water, biscuits, tea etc. in a cool atmosphere since the entire open hall was packed to full capacity of 2000 +

The Sai Alumni of earlier years from Mahabubnagar spontaneously erected a beautiful, gleeful and flowery shamiana with silky side curtains presented a wonderful look to the entire audience. Some of the persons responsible were also introduced to the audience in acknowledgement of their service by Sairam Balachandra.. Bhagawan’s Grace would continue to be showered on these souls.

Sairam Balachandra Garu with his Oration thronged the entire audience into silence and ensured their constant attention for long hours; it shows his caliber and HIS grace. The Omnipresence of Bhagawan was experienced by every body the moment he announced that the Fan for SWAMI was switched on. Bhajans and singing of Patriotic Songs mixed with Bhagawan’s poems were also made to repeat by the entire audience by Shri Balachandra. Till the end, he was found tireless. Thousand Kudos to him.

Many people both Men and Women toiled hard, by staying outside the shamiana function area and made arrangements for lunch. Lunch was arranged for every one inside the Sivam premises. It was gathering of 750 people that day! Five Trainee Students performed Haarathi to SWAMI .
Bhagawan’s Blissful Grace is experienced by every body. Sathakoti Pranamams to SWAMI to continue HIS showers on all of us.
Lovingly yours in Sai Seva
