After the interview, Swami came to the Ganesh portico and sat on the chair. Swami : Emi Samacharamu? (What news?) (To the Warden) Are the characters selected? (For the forthcoming Convocation Drama.) Warden : No, Swami. Swami : I have nothing to do with it. You all select them. It is already late; very less time is available. Practice should start. Warden : Yes, Swami. Swami : (To Prasanthi Nilayam Campus Principal, Prof. U. S. Rao) How is your brother in the Hospital? Principal : By Swami’s grace, he is fine. Swami only saved him. You have reduced the impact of the fall, Swami. Otherwise, it would have been fatal. Swami : Falling down from train is very dangerous. It (the injury) could have been on the head. Fortunately, it went off with fracture in one leg. Principal : They are very grateful to You for Your grace, Swami. They used to come to Parthi since so many years. Swami : His own devotion has helped to save him. (Changing the topic) Primary School people have got the electricity bill of Rs.64,000. Warden : Swami, rates have gone up from Rs.2.30 to Rs.4.50 per unit. Even our Hostel electricity charges have gone up from Rs.15,000 to Rs.40,000. Prof. A. K. : Even petrol prices have gone up. Warden : Swami has permitted solar hot water system to be installed shortly in our Hostel. That would help us tremendously. Presently, we are heating the water with kerosene. Swami : (To Brindavan Warden, Sri B. N. Narasimhamurthy) Are your boys taking sponge bath or regular bath? B. Warden : Even today I told them that they should take care of their health. Swami : But some boys cannot take bath when they are unwell because it is cold. B. Warden : Generally boys take bath, except sick boys. Two geysers can be arranged for them. Food is very good in the canteen, Swami. Swami : Do they give you separately? B. Warden : No, Swami. Along with all others. Swami is giving concessional coupons. Swami : (Smiling) In Brindavan Hostel, milk is white water! B. Warden : Now we are getting from the Niligiris dairy. Swami, it is better. Swami : Here, the milk yielding cows are 100. Non-yielding cows and old cows are 400. Prof A. K. : For 75th Birthday so much milk is required, Swami. B. Warden : For 70th Birthday, milk came in tanks. Swami : (To Prasanthi Nilayam Campus Principal, Prof. U. S. Rao) Who is staying with your brother and taking care of him? Principal : His family members, Swami. Swami : Where are they staying? Principal : Near the Hospital in some known person’s house. Swami : Good. B. Warden : In Whitefield Hospital, daily 700-800 patients come, Swami. Many specialists come to treat the patients. Swami : What specialisations? B. Warden : Eye Specialists, Gynaecology, Plastic Surgery, Orthopaedics, Swami. Swami : They are doing a good job. Warden : Dr. Shankar comes from that Hospital on Sundays to treat our boys at Prasanthi Nilayam. Swami : Yes. Prof. A. K. : It seems he goes to Muddenahalli, Brindavan and Prasanthi Nilayam. Warden : Yes, Swami. B. Warden : Swami, we can have Bhajans also here only. Swami : (Getting up) No need. Prof. A. K. : Ok Swami, please sit for some more time. You are blessing boys and devotees with Your Darshan. Swami : Manchidi (Good). Saying so, Swami went back to the interview room.
