1)Can you please talk about a day in the life of Swami? Nobody can answer that question 100% accurately, but a normal day in Swami’s life is very, very busy. It starts around 4:00 in the morning, and goes till 7:00 – 7:30 in the evening. Morning darshan, followed by interviews, bhajans and then talking to members of the organizations, giving them directions, afternoon darshan, more interviews and then bhajans. But, let me tell you something that happened in this context – I am sure that you will take it in the right spirit. It was in Brindavan and Swami was laughing when I said, “Swami, you always say, ‘You are God! You are God!’ It’s nice to hear that I am God. Now I want to say a few words, Bhagavan, please permit me; do not misunderstand me; don’t reprimand me later.” I sought all sorts of ass • Home | SBOI-Group| Pictures | Audio-Video | Wallpapers| Greeting-cards | Ashrams Info. | Sai news (Prof Indigotin Kumar make your mark this blarney on Nov 21, 2005 to description India directorial representatives, as the Ordinal worldwide Sathya Sai Seva Organizations convention at Sai Kulwant Hall.)
