In the sacred ambience of Prasanthi Nilayam, the eve of the Tamil New Year was marked by a deeply moving devotional music program presented by the Sai Youth – Gents from Tamil Nadu. Around 1000 devotees from across the state had lovingly gathered at the Abode of Highest Peace to welcome the New Year in the divine presence of Bhagawan, offering their hearts in joyous surrender and gratitude.
The morning program began with a prayerful invocatory vedam chanting by the Bal Vikas girls. The Sai Youth rendered a bouquet of melodious bhajans and devotional songs, celebrating the infinite love and grace of Bhagawan. Sung in multiple Indian languages, the songs reflected the unity in diversity of our sacred culture, weaving together the spiritual richness of Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and other tongues into a harmonious tribute to the Divine.
Each song was interspersed with inspirational commentary, guiding the hearts of devotees toward reflection and deeper connection with the Lord. The narration echoed themes of service, devotion, and surrender, creating a serene rhythm between music and message.
An interesting offering this morning was a sublime instrumental rendition of the Tyagaraja kriti “Entha Muddo, Entha Sogasu.” The composition was further elevated by a masterful performance embellished with an intricate 100 akshara korvai (rhythmic patterns).
