Swami's 99th Birthday Celebrations

 

Swami's birthday celebrations at our Centre began with Omkar at 5.30 a.m. followed by Suprabhatam, Vedam, Namavali, bhajans and Arati.

The evening celebrations began at 7 p.m. with Vedam followed by bhajans.  The altar and Swami's chair had been beautifully decorated with flowers by dedicated members of the Centre.

After bhajans, an extract from Swami's Discourse entitled "Have Confidence in the God Within" was screened, followed by a video on Swami's 99th Birthday Theme Song.   The lighting of Swami's birthday cake and the singing of the birthday song followed.

Our Service Co-ordinator, Sis. Siew Choo then gave an inspirational talk of the seva activities she had undertaken both locally and overseas and an account of the personal trauma she faced when her son became critically ill and was bedridden.  Through her firm faith in Swami and guidance from Him, her son recovered and is now able to lead a normal life.

The evening concluded with a vegetarian dinner for all.

Thank you to Swami for His 99 years of Pure Love and Grace.
