Morning bhajan advanced. Swami had asked us if we were ready - in the middle of Arati, car came, we ran. Vans behind Swami's car - car race with cut-throat overtaking. As stopped to get diesel, van went at 90 kmph! 60 kmph till highway, then 80. No major stops. Muddenahalli - You went inside, we followed - entire Brindavan campus - 6 buses - had come by 6 o'clock itself. Wall to wall plush in Prayer hall. Swami wanted boys to go around His rooms - terrific furnishings and finish. Strategic Little Coolers. Swami stood at the balcony and smiled (photo below from my "Swami albums").
Lunch at their auditorium - like Poornachandra, but tile floor. All of us were squeezed in. Swami had comparatively more food - onstage. Walked through twice, then on balcony. Washed, ran back - Discourse in Kannada. Praised the Thyagajeevis, said the small children are good, but "college lazy". After meeting with teachers upstairs, came on balcony - "Boys all sleeping." We went to buses after snacks. Then, You left - behind You, we, in buses. Only one van of the three remained - You announced in the Hall itself.

Buses came by Devanahalli, You went by Vijay/pur/nagaram - finally we reached before You, sang "Joy to the World". Sevadal were sitting along the aisle, grabbing the opportunity. 5:30 pm when everything was over. No bhajans at Hostel also - all tired. Dinner, washed, slept.
