Swami: Why did you not have classes today?
Teacher: Swami, Sunday is a holiday.
Swami: Yes, Sunday holiday. Mind, body, machine, classroom, everything needs rest.
During Darshan, all the Carol group students sat in the front to seek Swami’s permission for singing carols on Christmas day. One of them was holding a card. Swami looked at the student and told with a mischievous smile…
Swami: Keep it on your head and dance. (Again they pleaded with Swami for permission, when Swami came inside Bhajan hall after interviews.)
Students: Swami!.. Carols! Swami …
Swami: I have to keep cotton in My ears!! (Jokingly)
Teacher: Swami , it will be very hard to hear with cotton in the ears.
Swami very lovingly smiled and moved on to the V.I.P portico. There, Swami spoke to a doctor…
Swami: Students are singing .. What… What? What are they known as…?
Doctor: Swami carols
Swami: Carols. You will have to put cotton in your ears!
In the Bhajan hall:
Student: Swami , breathing problem.
Swami: If breathing is not there, life itself is not there.
Student: Swami I am participating in long-jump, but I have breathing problem.
Swami: Long jump?!! If you can jump three feet across this path, that itself is a long jump!
Student: Swami, breathing problem.
Swami: Dunnapotha, sit down.
Then Swami blessed all the birthday students and moved into the interview room.
