1994-08-25 - Thursday - Altar evaluation


From "with Swami - older" album - Room A1 Altar - Aug 25, 1994. Kalyanamantapam, Brindavan.
S. Mahesh, Vishnu Vardhan, Hari, Sampath, Mahesh Karwa, Ram Nishant, O Srinivas, Sairam, Nithin, Ravi Chand (turned away).

Last night Subramaniam Sir had asked me to arrange the Kalyanamantapam - putting Jamkalans away etc. - could mobilize boys and finish in half an hour - felt surprised. All Your doing. Before Bhajan on Thursday morning, You came. S. G. Sir was alone at SRH (Sai Ramesh Hall) - we had gone to set mics. 45 minutes, 7:30 onwards. First round - "Japanese" altar next to ours, ours "German?" "Emi Idi? Cheppu. (What is this? Tell me.) S. Mahesh said 5 steps, Swami counted six! "Baagundi" (Good) while going. Vishnu also explained - birds purity, symbol unity, jhoola divinity. Photos started from A2 altar - church - Swami straightened the spire - then 2nd round, giving group photos. Then called all of us near stage, big group photo! Then sat, threw groundnuts, apples distributed.

"White marble, make hearts white." Which is best? to Mr. Narasimhan, Mr. Gangadhar Shetty, Anil Kumar Sir - Your view - "all good". Warden suggested Muddenahalli trip for Brindavan boys - You immediately changed the topic! "Go, go, bhajans (SRH), I am coming." "Arati should be there, shouldn't it?!" - Subramaniam Sir did Arati. 

PURE LOVE - slow motion Swami's video for moral class. Audience gradually slept. CTP free, slept in Math Dept. (since there was minimal sleep last night, preparing for the altars at Kalyanamantapam.) Then Subramaniam Sir took Mathematical Physics! But only half an hour. Practicals cancelled, so slept till 2.30. Refreshed. 

Since Swami's comment, one of us (PA system/AVC boys) will be sitting down, among music boys. Today, BK. Cleaned room, cupboard, wrote this, till slept. Altar established. Tomorrow, foundation stone for new Book Stall - work overnight for Vishnu. No Trayee - "registration work" - according to a boy, Warden said so. Krishnaashtakam and songs practice 6:30. Stores purchases Rs. 100!
