Suprabhatam. Then, took bed to A1 too. Chandan (temporarily in cupboard A-06) shifting. Stomach is upset. A little redness too. Blood? Probably from my piles. Shifted into the cupboard, bringing carton box after darshan. Around 11:20, slept as felt tired and weak. Small lunch, again slept. Felt refreshed at 3. Bath, cleansing. Had to wash pants, but left it in bucket with water. White whites to give flower. S. G. Sir and Chaitanya had left when I went to Altar room. I followed after a wait, went down after putting monitor (carrying the monitor speaker onstage from the amplifier room backstage).
Swami didn't come down. Rains. Finally when Swami got up and I went up, looked pretty forbidding. I was muttering, "Swami, Swami".
This photo from my "Swami albums" seems to be from 14 July 1994, another flower chance.
Umbrella near Swami's door. Wound up slowly, Swami asked boys to come in without running. When I was walking in, Swami at the door - "Slow, slow." Sat near Narahari Sir (his spot used to be near Swami's jhoola). Swami made those at the back stand, to make more room. But many were outside. "Ladies giving trouble", otherwise boys could have sat inside, etc. "Tist... Scientist" spoke of no rain in TN due to DK leaders. Ramaswami Naikar "Periyar" asking people to smash Ganesha idols.
Swami said he was a secret Ganesha devotee. FAITH - Forsaking All I Trust Him. Akhileshwaran yesterday. Swami told us the story of boy in forest calling, "Krishna, Anna". Periyar told Swami he did all that only for politics. Now DMK, ADMK - all letters. Following the mind like Krishnamurthy's "full-loss" philosophy is the problem today. Leads to confusion, and then fuse is lost. Don't even allow one thought to finish. Swami's anger is only from lips. Kodai boys know. Acting for audience's sake. Durvasa said, "Pandavas are below me!" angrily to Ashwathaama who got Devi's weapon - Krishna's plan.
Sitting close to You was nice, but couldn't write diary. Announcement about tailor (for which I would probably have had to arrange a mic wait at the AVC), dinner late as Stores open, helping Ankur with night prayer, slept around 10:15.
