Sai Ram,
The proprietor was physically unavailable but he welcomed everyone that came. Continue with your plans to be in Prasanthi Nilayam.
The pit or grave that the physical form of Baba is residing in is lined on four sides with marble stone. Besides the orange cushion that was placed in the grave, there were 9 food grains, 9 precious stones and water from 9 sacred rivers. Vedic chants from 4 texts were recited. The pit area is decorated with beautiful flowers.
Baba’s head faces South. Sandalwood powder, mud from holy shrines in India and vihbuthi was smeared on the body.
Most people who came for the funeral have left the ashram and the village. However, a fair number of people are going past the grave at a more leisurely pace.
The village is returning to normal. Shops are open and traffic is busy. There is a sense of unity that as a group we survived a massive disaster.
Attached are a special series of photos about Baba last blessings, thanks to SSSBPT. I remember seeing them and knew that it was unusual. The energy was different. He did special gestures. He was saying goodbye as it had been an unusual evening.
Aparna Choundhuri who is a mudra expert says that the gestures meant “I bow down to the divinity in you in divine perfection and total happiness.”
Other attachments are a letter by sent by Jagadeesha and a press release from the Central Trust.
For a video of the funeral service:

Thought for the Day
28th April 2011
All that you see is the reflection of what is inside you. If you call a person bad, it is the bad in you being reflected in him. It has got nothing to do with him. Good and bad are but reflections of your inner being. Never consider them as separate from you. Good thoughts are the source of good vibrations. If your inner being is full of love, the same principle of love will find manifestation in your speech and actions. When you have sacred thoughts, you will become a divine person.
Baba
Take Care. Be Well and Happy.
