1994-08-26 - Friday - overseas devotees get a scolding

on

I had gone to college early to do practicals, "Bulaava Aaya" (Meaning I was called, for setting up the mics - a reference to some devotional songs like this one.) Kalyanamantapam, overseas devotees. Mr. Narasimhan started before Swami came - Govt. sent police to investigate, Italians and Germans buying land, adopting children, etc. Drugs, too. Swami sat through the talk, then asked Warden to speak more explicitly. Mentioned roaming from guru to guru like prostitute. Swami announced finally, "Tomorrow 9 AM discourse on purely spiritual matters, not these speakers' stuff." As soon as Swami came, You asked, "Translation? Italian?" and a lady raised her hand - so she translated from ladies' side on 3rd mic which Swami prompted Sir to bring. Poor lady had to translate "Bad name to Italy" etc. 

Comp. Practicals - shouted - almost - at Srikant as he was using "my" sytem 7 for some useless thing and wouldn't even let me type it for him - so, my shell sort program didn't work. Classical Mechanics - he was disappointed none gave him solved problems. Somnolescence again on the rise. 

I was sitting among music boys (for evening bhajans at SRH) - rotation among the three of us after day-before-yesterday's remark by Swami - was shocked anew by their indifference, talking, etc. Ahuja columns shrieked due to polarity switch. Rain, interviews - so no Trayee session. 

Did Math, sitting on the ground in half-padmasan. Nowadays I'm eating a lot, to recoup from cold/cough. Mishra Sir had commented last Sunday that I've gone down, muscles all wasted away.
