Run up to the Youth Conference 2

It's difficult to find even a patch of road these days as one can find only a sea of devotees. The international youth have assembled in very large numbers. Add to it the Aashadi and the Gurupoornima crowd and you'll be lucky to find place to walk around!
Swami has been actively looking into preparations for the conference. inspite of this, he gives a lot of time for devotees everyday. a few days back, there was a drama by the Canadian youth. He profusely blessed them with prasadam and safari clothes.Almost everyday, we see Swami materialising a chain or a ring to some devotee or student during darshan.
Perhaps, the most exciting thing now is the arrival of a baby elephant here. Swami hasn't named her yet. She's about 4 years old. few days back Swami went near the planetarium where she's kept and spent around 45 minutes with her. i heard the baby elephant went ahead and did namaskar to Swami!
There's an exhibition on Swami's life and mission in the form of charts and videos being held in the Poornachandra auditorium. It's very well prepared and interesting to watch. We students especially liked the section of old photos of Swami with students and devotees.
the momentum is slowly building up and i'm sure this week will be a very exciting and memorable one.Sai ram
