1995-08-23 - Wednesday - Upanayanams

Image from this page - https://sathyasaiwithstudents.blogspot.com/2021/08/celebrations-galore-at-prasanthi.html - that page notes that there were marriages on 20th and Shashtipoorthi on 21st.

Upanayanams - thousands! from Hyderabad. C++ - codestar is working. Worked after bhajan also for TRIAC - learnt it is a ZVD. Two transistors to drive it? (back to back?) 0804 burnt (Vref/2 too high by loose contact). Multimeter 2.5V range burnt in 250V. Chaitanya - in Central University now (he was my classmate and colleague in AVC in Brindavan), Pingali, P. Srikant came. (BSc classmates, who did not continue to MSc in SSSIHL) MSc Phy, along with Sowmitri (another classmate). Pingali is doing tutorial for IISc.

Vatus (young boys who are being invested with the sacred thread during the Upanayanam ceremony) pushed us (students) - figuratively - to the old boys' block. 1000+! Long function! You came around to our side twice or thrice, later during Akshata throwing. Then discourse - Respect parents - Gayatri Savitri Saraswati - senses, life, words - Thought, Word, Deed. Five heads of 
Aum / Bhur Bhuvah Suvah / Tat Savitur Varenyam / Bhargo Devasya Dhimahi / Dhiyoyonah Prachodayat.
Chant at least during bath, food, etc - invocation, meditation + prayer in Gayatri - special. 

Evening, You walked many times through, threw lots of groundnuts, "doctors of today, carelessness" with doctors - kept repeating 104 - someone has a fever.
