Inauguration of 2nd International Symposium on Cardiovascular Diseases. After morning bhajan, our Brindavan group went to college auditorium, just before Swami's car started. President was late. Stage decorated with flowers, red back and side screens. President's speech long and rambling, struggled with cough, didn't take water from Swami, but from orderly. Swami's discourse sparkled.
A still from the Discourse video, which is available here.
He had told us to be in the green room (backstage of college auditorium) by 4:30 pm, but we went by 3:30. I took bakery stuff. Waited there till 8:15, when Swami and President came, while others did make-up. AVR (Audio Visual Room, later called Multimedia Learning Centre or MMLC, which is beside the inner entrance of the college auditorium) had CCTV, saw from there. The symposium had continued till 7:30 pm. Swami came to see us, lined up in the corridor beside AVR. I didn't do well (during the drama), as (1) I was too conscious of the make-up of leprosy spots and (2) I looked at Swami, saw Him staring elsewhere, was disappointed. Photos (after the drama) - Swami started giving koojas (steel containers with screw-on lids) - I didn't get in my group (ignored), went again with the next "zero-scene" group, got (Siva Sankara Sai Sir told me to go again.) Finally slept around 10 pm. The others went for dinner at that time, and make-up boys' winding up took till 12 midnight.
