On 14th July, 2008, on the Ashadi Ekadasi morning, Bhagawan arrived in Sai Kulwant Hall at 8.50 am to a welcome song by the devotees from Maharashtra. As He reached the stage, their traditional Dindi programme began. After the ten minute Dindi, the drama for the morning, Atma Ramayana, got underway. The musical, presented by Pune Balvikas and youth, brought out the inner significance of the Rama story with a dialogue at a Balvikas class, based on the Eka-sloki Ramayana. Bhagawan went down from the stage to go amidst the performers after the hour-long programme, and then sat onstage while the devotees sang Bhajans for half an hour till eleven o'clock when He accepted Arati and returned to His residence

In the afternoon of 14th July, 2008, Bhagawan arrived at 4.45, and the evening drama got underway soon after He came onstage at five o'clock. The hour-long programme by the Balvikas and youth of Maharashtra and Goa was based on the Tripura Rahasya, a text which stresses the ultimate truth beyond the Trinity, bringing out the way to be rid of ignorance through a series of parables. Bhagawan called up the protagonist of the play as the concluding song began, and Blessed him with a chain. He once again went among the participants in His chair and interacted with them. As Bhajans went on, Swami sat onstage and called up members of the cast one by one for photographs with Him. After twenty minutes of Bhajans, Swami accepted Arati at 6.30 pm and returned to His residence
