Less time - i.e. space in the diary - to ordinary routine and more to life and Swami. Chapathi rolling. (In those years, once a semester or so, each room in the Hostel would have the "chapathi rolling duty", in which they would roll chapathis from dough prepared by the kitchen staff in the evening before bhajan, for dinner. In those days, 2 chapathis used to be served along with dinner at Brindavan Hostel, with none for lunch.) Prof. Balasubramaniam took intro class afternoon session, CTP Satyanarayana Sir. Kept Malvino with card in library, rush after class, couldn't issue.
I was ready by 3:40 pm, Sir by 3:50. Arranged Kalyanamantapam, some police authority was inside Trayee till 4:20 or so. Soldered translator's (mic) jack. After bhajan, Swami told Warden, "Here itself, tell ladies not to come". I wound up Kalyanamantapam, walking through the Aadavaallu (ladies).
I was in the outside hall (of Trayee), Swami called some MBA/MCom boys to the round hall, results (of the last semester). As You came in, started talking to Warden - Vajpayee had come in the morning - Translate (asking Warden to translate what He was going to say) - (He went for interview along with other devotees) - he said Sai devotees in every country including Pakistan. Request - 340 Sai devotees should contest elections in November, students and devotees, Swami should become P. M. "Buddhi leda?" Dirty poly-ticks (Swami's pun on politics). In the old days, Krishna entered politics, said Vajpayee. Swami said, "I am not King, I am King-maker, Sir!"

King Ambarisa - Durvasa made him wait, when drank water to end fast on Dwaadashi, came running. When troubled Ambarisa, he prayed - if guilty, please punish me. Else, please protect me. Only Ambarisa could save Durvasa from chakra. Devotion is the greatest. Namadeva and Jnanadeva. Kuchela's story. 28 children. Do your duty. If you have to marry, have children, do so. But what trouble did Suka have with no children? Stores - Odomos, shaving blades. 9 grahas * 12 adityas = 108 --> chant on fingers.
