Screenshot from Vinayaka Chaturthi in 1993, when You had come to Brindavan Hostel - from this video - Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba | Ganesh Chaturthi Celebrations | Sep 19 1993
Till around 12 noon, pooja. Then food. You didn't come (to the Hostel).
Though asked Swami for (coming to the) Hostel, didn't come. Primary School, Hospital were also asking. "No time ..."
Sitting around pookkalam (the floral carpet made before Onam), but Ramakrishna (senior to me in AVC) and I were requisitioned backstage - changing cassettes & adjusting volume respectively. So, saw Swami on video. (This was probably when I started Mandir recording work during Discourses at Prasanthi Nilayam. "Changing cassettes" meant turning over the cassettes from A side to B side during a part of the Discourse with minimal recording loss of Swami's voice - during a long English translation. And "adjusting volume" meant adjusting the gain of the recording so that it would not be too low, nor should it distort. Except for a brief period from 1997-2001, I would be 'backstage' for all Discourses. Notably, I was not backstage during the Lingodbhavam of 1999.)
