1994-08-15 - Monday - Swami visits Muddenahalli

Terrible start. Woke around 2.30 am and slept again. Then got the wildest dream about Mr. Vijaya Sai, next some book came on the screen with some cigarette ad! Most forgettable. Suprabhatam time bath. 6 AM - S. G. Sir asked me to arrange (for the Independence Day program in college, probably) - removed horns' transformer, direct to 16 ohms. Power - Auditorium didn't open - so many problems, finally OK - Swami's help. Music program cancelled as flag hoisting preponed. Swami's Muddenahalli visit reason. Waiting for Swami, saw too much talk. Vishnuvardhan indefatigable - altar work. "Renigunta" Ram Nishant + Mahesh Karwa also helping. Ravi Kishore joined later. S. Mahesh brought mud for pillar bases. (These were all roommates of mine, one year junior). I did a little thermocol cutting, but Electronics record pulled me away. 

Swami returned at 3:30, Darshan + Bhajan at 5. Didn't go down, no interviews either. Swami telling all - Muddenahalli Mandir mahatmyam! No comfort at Parthi, no finish at Brindavan, v v v v happy.
