Gurunama on a sign from Yogi. Then Yogi asks Devaki to read some poems from Lee Lozowick’s book, selected gy Rangarajan. Rangarajan makes his choice and gives the book to Devaki who reads. Yogi asks for some poems to be read again. "One more time." Then he asks the sadhu to read some other poems.

7 devotees of some swami from Lucknow, whites, have come to get his darshan. There are two men and five women. They are introduced and seats are shown to them on Yogi’s left side. Then Yogi asks the sadhu to read the note written by the publisher of the book. This being done, He asks to read Lee’s introduction. Then he asks again to read the publisher’s introduction, and he points out to the foreigners that the publisher is Rangarajan himself. Then again, Lee’s introduction. |
Gurunama is chanted again for a very long time. During the chant, as ever, Yogiji does not stop raising his hand and glving blessings towards all of us. I clearly feel the waves. Sometimes, when my eyes are closed, I feel these waves. Opening my eyes, I see that Yogi’s hand is turned towards me.
Then, Yogiji stands up and goes to the bathroom. When He comes back, He does like the first time, that is to say that he does not go to seat again, but he walks in circles around the room several times, standing, raising his hands above each one, giving His blessings in this way.
Some girls among the foreigners are laughing loudly; for sure they must tell themselves that what has been told to them about Yogi is true, that at times he behaves like a mad man. Yogiji sits down. He continues to bless while we chant the Gurunama. Sometimes His hand goes in big moves, travelling the entire room in one second. The girl still laughs loudly.
He soon call the foreigners, one after the other, give them a fruit as prasad and sends them away with His blessings.
Eleven other persons are introduced. He asks them to sit down for some minutes, then he calls them in the same way, give each of them a banana as a Prasad and sends them away.
Once more, the Gurunama is sung.
From the beginning, there is no light. Daylight goes away slowly. Devaki lights two candles. Anuraddha says that Yogiji should ask Prof. Rajalakshmi to sing some songs on Bhagavan. So, Yogi asks Rajalakshmi who begins to sing. At the end of the song,
Yogi just says: "Another one." At the end, once again: "Another one ". When it is finished : "Another one, and then this beggar will not ask you anymore ". She sings. At the end of the song, Yogiji tells her that she ‘can go back to her world ».
Light has suddenly come back. Immediately, Mani and Mohan think that there is light enough for video and make a sign to me. I don’t want to ask for anything. Light will soon go off again.
