Image from this page, Sathya Sai with Students: Sri Sathya Sai On: The Duty and Discipline of Teachers - Prof. Gokak, the first Vice-Chancellor of SSSIHL, is seen in the background. The caption is, Sri Sathya Sai arrives in Prasanthi Nilayam campus, welcomed by the Vice-Chancellor and senior faculty.
Woke only for Suprabhatam - I forgot to ask You to wake me, Vishnu too. Not getting the best out of darshan, as I used to. But at least like bridge rectifier, has not gone negative, though not at peak. Narahari Sir said will call me to meet a devotee dentist - I had asked him about a tartar spot. Vice President of Hindustan Motors had come to address the Commerce boys - Practicals. So, Jain Sir had to curtail his plain talk Prayer Hall speech --> class went in giving us the plain talk. Asked us to list our good points and his bad points.
Warden absent in the evening. Chaitanya says his mother died. Anyway, just like yesterday, Swami went around, sat onstage for only half a bhajan, went for interviews. Didn't even come outside. You told S. G. Sir to start bhajans only later, tomorrow onwards. Evening went in Stores purchases, study hours ACM (Advanced Classical Mechanics).
Ravi Kumar Sir told me he heard glowing reports of my room-leadership - "Doesn't allow us to waste time, doesn't waste time either. Inspires us by example." Jain Sir's plain talk - how you carry out unenforceables - wishing elders is an example he gave. So, must wish, though it is quite embarrassing - the difficulty is when the other doesn't wish back, i.e. with most of the Institute teachers. Swami had mentioned this in Trayee - teachers of those days used to wish back, so got respect.
