Soon after breakfast in the morning, Swami proceeded to the venue of the public satsang. Two satsangs were organised, morning and afternoon, on the same day at Hypo Centre. The 30 minutes drive from the Mladen residence, was through beautiful green spaces and ornate buildings, which certainly opened up a sense of cultural curiosity. Over 1200 devotees from 18 countries, like Germany, Italy, Switzerland, France, Portugal, Austria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Lithuania, Slovenia, Serbia, Macedonia, etc, had gathered to bask in Swami’s love. The Ambassador of India to Croatia, Mr Sandeep Kumar was a special Guest at the satsang.

Evening:

About 1400 people were yet again gathered to bask in Swami’s love. As He entered the hall, about 80 ladies and men were already standing on stage, to offer specially composed songs to Bhagawan. While the Lord wanted the music programme to be contained within 30 minutes, the pure love and devotion with which the songs were rendered, encapsulated and engulfed every soul seated, made the Lord to extend by another 30 minutes. Bhagawan was immensely happy, and enjoyed the programme with much delight. He blessed each of the 80 devotees with namaskar and prasadam. Sweet tears of joy, love and devotion flowed from each person. Brother Madhusudan later mentioned that Swami touched every person’s head and blessed them all profusely.

Likewise, God alone is the basis of all that exists. When this pure Divine Self mingles and combines with the five elements (ether, air, fire, water and earth) and the three gunas (Tamasic, Rajasic and Satwic) it gives rise to all the variety in this creation!”

As per Swami’s command, the entourage were taken on a tour to visit the famed ancient temple complex of Parthenon, of the ancient Athens, in Acropolis. The Parthenon is a former temple in Acropolis, dedicated to Goddess Athena, whom the people of Athens, considered their patron. Construction began in 447 BC and was completed in 438 BC, although decoration of the building continued until 432 BC.

The Parthenon is regarded as an enduring symbol of ancient Greece, and one of the world’s greatest cultural monuments. It is the most important surviving building of classical Greece, and its decorative sculptures are considered some of the high points Greek art.

When Swami returned later and lunch was served, Brother Jai, son of Mr and Mrs Dimitris, asked Swami, “Now that Swami has blessed the ancient temple of Greece, would her fortunes change?” Swami said, “A temple is....
