The Man who writes Thought for the Day in Prasanthi Nilayam

Here is some information about a "silent" Sai Woker stationed in Prasanthi Nilayam the "Thought for the day Man". Everyone invariably "stop by" and read what he writes also appreciating the unique handwriting which has been part and parcel of devotees' lives. Before the social media intruded into our lives we used to throng to this TFD board every morning in Prasanthi Nilayam. There were times when devotees took time to note down the TFD. The man behind this "tiny" handwriting on the black boards of Prasanthi Nilayam is Mr. Kulkarni who hails from Pune, Maharashtra, India. A former follower of Ramakrishna Mission Mr. Kulkarni gave up a lucrative job in late 80s by using the option of Voluntary Retirement scheme. It's been close to three decades he says, that he writes on the two black boards. He does one board in the morning and the other one in the evening. Exactly in the middle of the night sevadals take those black boards and place it in their respective positions. Mr. Kulkarni who is in his late 60s and still single, cherishes every moment of his life in Prasanthi and can't stop thanking Swami for this "divine boon". May Swami bless this wonderful man with a long, happy and spiritually life ahead.
