4-26-13 Night Darshan
Swami came out surprisingly early at 8:05 pm. There's only a handful of people here and not even the music is playing at first. Aj Amrutni varsha starts to play and Swami claps along. There's only a few rows of ladies, and a small group of men gathered in front of Swami. Shastriji Maharajno sang plays and NC Swami points out haribhakto for Swami. Yogi avo te rang plays and does a latko with his right hand. Two yuvaks do fundedi and one falls back, Swami cracks up at this and starts pointing his right finger to the bhajan. Shriji pragat che re starts playing and Swami claps along. Swami goes in and out and is gently resting his hands on his pillow. Swami starts doing a criss cross wave with his arms and Mara Swamini thaye vah vah plays. Swami goes in and comes back out to a huge applause from the crowd. Aje yagnapurushne dhwar plays and Swami lightly taps his hands to the beat on his pillow. A yuvak stands on another yuvaks shoulders and does the pumping motion and gets Swami to crack a smile. The same two yuvaks from before do fundedi and fall again which gets Swami to laugh another time. Something on Swami's right gets him to laugh for quite some time. Swamishri goes in and comes back out with rang lagyo mane taro rangila re playing. He has a radiant smile on his face and claps along.
Swami returns to his room at 8:36 pm.
Such a great personal darshan tonight.
Jai Swaminarayan
