A Photo of the Administrative building or Ad block of the SSSIHL, from https://www.sssihl.edu.in/admissions/
At 8:35 am, left Mandir, went for (handling the mics for) Academic Council Meeting (which would probably have been in the Administrative block of the SSSIHL, known as Ad block) - started at 10:10. Eating first! Speeches, not very productive. In Sumo to mandir with amplifier & Prof Hemalata & co! Sash ... (in those days, the graduating students for the convocation would wear a sash, which would be issued by the Ad block, and which should be returned after the convocation) Keeping mum for Council matters ...

After speeches till 5:30 pm & Discourse, helped KVR to shift mics to Poornachandra. Greek program (in English, of course) - Socrates, Plato, Aristotle and Alexander, based on Swami's interviews. German ladies' 'Raasa kreeda' to Chopin's waltz with a lady Swami coming and going - You sat through just because of their devotion. No Sai Prerna (work in the garden) - slept by 10:30.
I'm still very much controlled by my tongue - Academic Council eatables coveted ... Evening one and a half hours speeches as valedictory function. You came late due to Rahu kalam? Again You stressed quality, not quantity. Give up smoking, drinking, non-vegetarian food and gambling. Soak up love from Swami, spread in your lands, filling your vessels here. (Past is past, give up anger & jealousy - yesterday). Go back from this conference transformed. Follow the resolutions, rules & regulations in toto. Seva dal seva exemplary. [rare accolade]. Overseas devotees are putting up with troubles. Have no differences like "I am President, he is worker..." all are workers for God. After bhajan, You announced program by Greeks and Germans. 'Ladies doing gopikas + Krishna, from land of Hitler!'

I think it is the music which is making me ever smiling - the ladies waltzing were shedding tears of joy - You sat through because of their devotion? Gave photo, too! though it was late - 9 pm. Backstage more? You're filling me with Your love. Hopefully this vessel won't leak.
