1994-09-02 - Friday - Thou shalt not sing

on

I was supposed to write this on 3rd morning 4 AM, but as I stayed up till 1:45 today, I'm writing this on 3rd evening. So, memory partly over-written. Morning Elec. Practicals - had to redo CC amplifier, as output compliance was too small. Only construction over so far. Chassical Mechanics - initially awake, 2nd half had to struggle - weak jokes, laborious. Lagrangian formulation ***! 

SRH (Sai Ramesh Hall) - Swami came in, stood there examining the amps and cassettes, waited out "Allah nam bhajo" - "crazy". You were late already, half an hour Ashok Singhal (VHP) and co. Trayee - directly went to Bhajans - putting ladies' names makes foreigners misunderstand that Gods also have wives, girlfriends! Filmi songs - no devotion. Don't sing Sai name - will misunderstand! Don't say Jai Bolo - they don't at Parthi, so don't do here. Husband and wife can't walk hand-in-hand in public - respect goes. Similarly, social Bhajan, introduced by Guru Nanak - must observe all this. At home, you can sing anything. (See Thou shalt sing on 7th Sep for the sequel to this instruction.) 

Subaala, Daama were Krishna's constant companions, but they wrote only of Radha! Lady asked in interview room, Radha put arm around Krishna (picture), why not I? Radha was locked up at Govardhanodhara, as people feared she would fall at His feet.

Bhriguvalli story. Suka taught father Vyasa, Madalasa, mother, taught children. Keep Promise Given - Never Give Up. 

Meera went to Dwaraka as she made it His Duty to save - Total surrender. Madhvacharya - "eat banana in solitude". Pratipatti --> Knowing only You exist. Vaishnava --> Knows Vishnu is everywhere. Whatever Sai says is for the good.
