A student offering a rose to Swami a dozen years after the incident mentioned below. From this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5cb3waQsvw
Got 28.1. Justified late as exp to find range, failed. Darshan time remembered, decided to fast. Afternoon read 'Gulag', no lunch. Physics is repetition, others slow, except Differentiation - MATH101.
Supposed to give rose* to Swami, so sat front again. Sathyanarayan vomited on my back last-but-one bhajan, so I didn't give rose. Ran to Hostel, soaked, changed, could sit in front hall of Trayee. Swami spoke of the Sun as an example. God loves all, but we don't see if we don't look.
*Giving rose - This was one of the chances which all the students would get on a rotation basis. One student would offer a rose to Swami, and another would do the Arati. In those days when there would be bhajans at Kalyanamantapam, the rose and Arati chances used to be there also, and also inside Trayee - a different set of boys there. So, four students would get chances every day, meaning that the entire Hostel would be covered in around 2-3 months. Later, this concept was "imported" into Prasanthi Nilayam also when bhajans began to be held in Sai Kulwant Hall instead of the bhajan hall, so that the Parthi boys would also get such chances.
