“Let’s start with “Ganga Mata Ki Jai”.”

Let’s start with “Ganga Mata Ki Jai”.

Vyasa sings...before singing the Bhagavatam….you see, before starting anything, you should remember the Divine. You should remember the Divine grace, so that it will go beautifully. Vyasa says, “Before starting your story, who else I can remember? I have to remember only you again! Even before starting the story, I have to remember only you.” So now, we don’t know who to remember. I think, we should remember the energy which landed as Nithyananda. Only that can guide us. Let you be very clear, just like you all, I am also going to listen. I promise, just like you all, I am also going to listen, because I don’t know….I also don’t know, what is going to come out or what way it is going to express itself. Let you be very clear, just like you all, I am also going to listen. So I also bow down to the energy, which landed as Nithyananda and let that energy guide and do the whole thing as it wants.

Let’s start with the birth. Let Me describe exactly the experience of birth. I do not want to add My commentary to it now. Let Me describe the experience itself. Maybe later on, I will give the explanation. The experience itself is really wonderful. There was no dual or two things… first; like a darkness covered by darkness…. I can’t even say darkness covered by darkness, that word doesn’t have meaning. It can be said even the way, like a light covered by light. There was no experience, experiencer and experienced separately. There was only one Consciousness, which is intelligent, which is alive and which is enjoying itself. Understand. The Consciousness is such, it is alive and it knows it is alive and it enjoys just being alive - Sat - Chit - Ananda. ‘Sat’ means it is alive, Truth. ‘Chit’ means it knows it is alive, means it is conscious of its life, its existence. ‘Ananda’ means it is enjoying its own existence. That is what we call ‘Satchitananda’.

Yesterday I was telling that...I think yesterday or today, that Baba...Naga Baba with whom I lived… he was in Uttarkashi. Maybe, I’ll narrate the incident later on. With one Naga Baba, I lived in Uttarkashi, who is a great Mahatma. I used to ask him, “Baba, why don’t you teach Me something!” He will never open his mouth. He was a very different kind of soul. Finally somehow, one day, I sat with him and said, “Something Baba, tell something. At least one line, so that I will remember that constantly and keep that with Me.” And he was...he was much more strong than Me. He did not open his mouth. Finally the...one day he said….he doesn’t speak much...he said [in gestures]…...means he is going. That he is continuing his travel. So I also have to go on My way. I said, “I am coming with you.” He said, “No, I am going.” Then, he gave Me that pipe which….with which he used to smoke, that pipe he gave it to Me. I said, “Okay Baba, I am so happy you gave Me this pipe.” I kept that pipe with Me for quite a long time, I don’t know after that where it….what happened to that pipe. I asked him, “This pipe may be ….it can get lost. Tell Me something which will not be lost. I’ll carry it with Me always. Some one line, one word, one teaching, something! Something tell Me!” He was not opening his mouth. I said, “Alright, next whatever word you are going to utter, even if you say, “Fool, get lost”, I’ll take that word as a mantra. Whatever you are going to say now, open your mouth; at least you will say Goodbye, because now we are going to depart. That word, I’ll take it as a mantra.” Then he started laughing and he said one beautiful line, “Deham Naham Koham Soham” - Whole Vedanta just in one line. Deham Naham - I am not the body, then Koham - who am I, ask, you will experience Soham - I am the Whole, I am everything. “Deham Naham Koham Soham”.

Deham - this body. Naham means - I am not that. Then who am I? - Koham. Ask, you will realize - Soham. ‘So’ means...Soham means the whole Universe. I am the whole Universe.

When he said that word, I just took it as a big gift, prasada. Then I asked him, “Baba, you said this word. I’ll take this as your blessing, but can you give Me some more...few more words, so that I will digest this.” Then he said, “That…that is why I did not open my mouth. If I say one line, then you’ll ask for something more.” Just like you all. Then, of course, he did not speak. Then before leaving, just before leaving, he used to have this one iron thing to kindle the fire, to kindle the fire. With that chimpta he just gave Me one blow on the head. Suddenly I realized the same truth which I was saying now, which I was telling you – Being alive and knowing that you are alive and enjoying that you are alive, celebrating that you are alive.

Being alive, knowing that you are alive, enjoying, celebrating that you are alive - Sat-Chit-Ananda. Being alive is Sat, truth. Knowing that you are alive is Consciousness and enjoying, ecstatic, the celebrating, that you are alive, is Ananda. In the deep sleep state, you are there, ‘Sat’ is there, you are alive but ‘Chit’ is not there. You don’t know you are alive. That is why the sleep is not Samadhi. That is why sleep is not samadhi. That is the difference between samadhi and sleep. You are alive but you are not aware that you are alive. Not only being alive, being aware that you are alive and enjoying that you are alive, is Ananda - Satchitananda.

First, it was just the satchitananda, nothing else. I was conscious. I was alive and I know I was alive and I was just enjoying that I am alive, I exist. Suddenly, in a very, very vague way, one small light...please understand, I am explaining frame by frame what happened during My birth. During My birth frame by frame what happened, I am explaining for biography. Later on I’ll explain the...every frame. The first frame was a light...a light in somewhere around South Bharat, Southern Bharat, but I was not...I do not know at that moment, it was Arunachala or something like that, just somewhere around Southern Bharat. That was the first slide, first scene. The next scene like a star...shooting star, I was just pulled by that light. The second scene was like a shooting star, I entered into that light. The third scene in My Consciousness was the Arunachala. By now I know, I have already taken the body. I’ve already taken the body. I am inside the body. It was around 11:45 January 1st 1978. Then it took around 40 to 45 minutes, for Me to settle into the body and come out. So according to doctors, time is something like a 12:30, but according to Me 11:45…. 11:45 of January1st. That was the time first the Arunachala appeared in the Consciousness in the inner space and the moment I saw the Arunachala in the inner space, I know the body is….I have assumed the body or I have entered into the body.

It was such an auspicious energy, whenever a Master lands on the Planet Earth, a clairvoyance happens. Like how they say, now the holes in the ozone layer, something like that, the conscious layer is drilled for a Enlightened being to land. I can describe this scene like a...whenever a clairvoyance lands on the Planet Earth, whole Planet Earth celebrates. The whole Existence celebrates; that is what they describe metaphysically all the Gods and Goddesses land and celebrated the Krishna’s birth. That is what they mean when they say, “These great Masters when they took birth, all the Gods and Goddesses showered flowers; they landed and celebrate.” This is what they mean, means such an auspicious energy happens on the Planet Earth… the whole Existence celebrates, the whole Existence celebrates.

Somehow in My case, not only Gods and Goddesses, people all over the world were celebrating, because it was a New Year☺ It was a New Year, all over the world were celebrating already, not only the Gods and Goddesses☺… because such an auspicious energy lands on the Planet Earth. It is impossible to describe, because whenever the clairvoyance happens on the Planet Earth, using that same hole, same opening, you can also escape; the possibility for Beings to get enlightened. See, the same door only, whether to come here or from here to go there - same door only! When the door opens you can sneak in or sneak out. There is a possibility you can take a jump. That is why, we use all the birthdays or the Jayanti days, we call it as Jayanti, not birth. Please understand. Whenever we mention the birthday of an Enlightened Master, we don’t call that as a birth date. Jayanti…. Jayanti means - they visited, they came… not taking birth… they came. That is why we call Jayanti means in Sanskrit literally ‘Going’. ‘Going’, that is the word means; because the Masters visit the Planet it’s called ‘Jayanti’. We use the Master’s Jayantis to meditate, because the clairvoyance creates a possibility for you to take a quantum jump. You can also escape using that same zone and space into spacelessness… into timelessness.

It was again Ashtami, Ashtami Tithi, the eighth day and Krishna Ashtami, means the... towards the new moon. From full moon to new moon is Krishna Paksha. From new moon to full moon is Shukla Paksha….the Krishna Paksha, what you call in English? Moon waning, the eighth day of moon waning - Krishna Paksha Ashtami. Somebody asked Me, “Swamiji, why did you choose January 1st, to take birth?” I made a casual comment, “In Bharat, all Master’s birthday is becoming a holiday. Already we are suffering with too much of holidays. I do not want future, My disciples to do something and get one more holiday! Better let’s take birth in the already declared holiday, so that Bharat won’t much suffer with the some more holidays.”☺

Anyhow, within 45 minutes I became aware of the body after the body came out, I could feel very clearly, that I am conscious of the whole Happening. I was not unconscious, I was conscious of whole Happening…. and it was a very auspicious, ecstatic, joyful experience. It was not painful. It was an auspicious joyful experience. My mother also said that, “It was a very easy delivery.” She was also saying, “Very easy delivery.”

One more thing, this is the very beautiful experience which I am sharing first time. Till the age of three, till I met the Raghupati Yogi, who was My first teacher, till I met him and till he initiated Me, whenever I was alone, I used to see 11 people around Me. Whenever I was alone, whether I was put in the bed or anytime, I used to see 11 people around Me and I used to think...actually now only I say, whenever I am alone, 11 people used be to around Me. Those ...that time I used to think they used to be always around Me, they are some relatives. I never had the idea that they are not My relatives. They are not My relatives. I...My house used to be too filled with too many people. It’s like a joint family. You don’t know who is who and what is what and who is whose husband or whose daughter and all those things; it’s a joint family. And I never used to know My relatives or family people and all those things. 11 people used to be always around Me. So I thought something like a…just like a normal thing. Only after I met the Raghupati Yogi, the moment he initiated Me, let Me...I’ll describe later on how the initiation happened and all those things...the moment he initiated Me, all the 11 have disappeared and I have never seen them again. When I asked Raghupati Yogi, he was shocked and he said, “They must be Bhairavas… Bhairavas; maybe they were protecting your body.” And I neither understood nor appreciated his comment. I neither understood his comment nor appreciated what he meant and I just left it.

In My young age, I used to have a notebook, in which I’ll write all these...these stories which I hear from the saints or some instructions. This Raghupati is a person...very meticulous person. Whenever he teaches Me something, he will force Me to write down. Anyhow, fortunately My mother preserved all those notebooks. We got the notebooks, now it is in the Ashram. We should thank her for preserving all these beautiful relics. She has preserved the whole thing, because after I left the house, the family went through lot of change; means, the house shifting from place to place and 3-4 places they shifted the house. She did not protect the furnitures or all the other things she had in the house, but she protected all these things very carefully. Actually, in the notebook I have written in My own hand, maybe around the age of 10 or something, about these 11Bhairavas also.

Before eating, I used to do morning puja. In the puja time, I will repeat this, all the Gods’ names, in that I used to repeat these 11 Bhairavas’ names; because this Raghupati said. Later on when I read Sarada Devi’s life, I realized Sarada Devi was also protected by 8 Sakhis of Devi - when she was a baby. When she was a baby, 8 Sakhis of Devi, 8 attendants of Devi, used to be always with Sarada Devi... she says. Only when I read that, I understood the comment of this Raghupati Yogi. Earlier I was neither able to understand nor able to appreciate. Actually I asked Raghupati Yogi, “Then why did they disappear now?” He said, “Now they have handed over you to me, because now I am taking care, there is no need for them to be here. That’s the reason they are not around you, they are not here physically.”

This Raghupati Yogi is a ….one of My great inspiration. I can say, he is the first teacher. Even though he himself is not an Enlightened person, he happened in My life for a purpose. I can say, My whole physical strength I vow to him; My body is able to be alive and hold the Enlightenment. You see, Enlightenment is like a...bringing some 3-4 elephants into this small hut. What will happen to this hut? Like that only Enlightenment; but still My body is alive, active and talking to you means, that single soul Raghupati Yogi is responsible. I remember him really with great respect and gratitude, because at the age of 3, he chose Me. I neither know about yoga, nothing! He chose Me. Actually, he used to stay in the same street, where My house was there, where I was born and brought up. In that same street he used to stay. So he was close friend of My father and grandmother and everybody, the whole family. He was born and brought up in Burma. In that time, Burma was not separate place. Burma was almost like Bharat and he stayed with the Tibetan Lamas also for quite a long time and learnt this yoga and all those things with them.

He himself is a adept master in yoga. I can say few things about him as an introduction. Of course, if you have read the biography, you would have read…. he can fly on the air. I Myself have seen. He can just lift himself on the air and not only that, like a fun he will make us go under him. Small boys, we used to just run under him - see whether anything else is there. He will just lift himself, like a small boys - run under the...under something, under the cot, like that we used to run under him. He can lift himself.

And not only that, he will empty his lungs and tie a iron rope, iron wire and he will just inhale. The iron wire will burst to pieces. It will burst to pieces. The power of his lungs or the inhaling, the iron wire will burst to pieces. He will exhale, in a relaxed way he will tie that iron wire, just he will inhale that’s all - the wire will burst to pieces. And whenever he finds some snakes here and there, he will catch them and put them in the nose. They will go inside and come through mouth. He will do all sorts of game. He is an adept in yoga. Adept in yoga and not only that, when he eats something...after eating he will just do something like a...he will just snap and simply in 2-3 second, the whole food...actually he will just take the intestine out and clean it. I don’t know what and how he is doing and all those things! His disciples, actually some disciples if they bring food and force him to eat, he never usually eats, if they force him to eat, he will eat in front of them just to console them out of compassion. The moment they go away, he will do something, 2-3 second near the mouth and just the whole intestine he will bring it out and wash it clearly with water and put it back; and impossible to comprehend all these things. He is an adept in Ashtanga Yoga and a master.

I can say, maybe the ParaShakti has sent him to prepare My body or to prepare the body to hold the Enlightenment. From the age of 3, actually he will come to the house… he will stand below and shout. He is the first person who started calling Me “Samiyar” means “Swami”. Because of him, everybody has started calling Me ‘Swami’. Around the age of 3, I don’t know what he meant by calling Me “Swami”, or what he understood or what...we don’t know! He used to call Me “Swami”. In Tamil – Samiyar Paiyya, means... I can’t translate, it’s a very slang way of addressing a small boy. I’ll come down, he will take Me to the main temple, the Arunachala Temple, make Me do that...all sorts of yoga practices 3-4 hours. And finally take Me to a nearby hotel and get Me coffee and food. Actually, that is the only reason I go...I used to go to him… to tell you honestly; after that he will take Me to the hotel… nothing else matters.

And he is a nice, very nice person. You can relate with him so well and very loving person, very loving. All sorts of magic he will do, bringing chocolate, anything. And if I say that I will not come, “no, today I am not coming”, then he will say, “I will give you chocolate”, or something he will tell. I will give you this, I will give you that. And moreover, only in the initial level, something like a 6 months only, I’ll not come and all those drama. After seeing, his materializing power and all, naturally the love and respect started growing; love and respect started growing, the relationship became little intimate. Maybe around the age of 5, he materialized that conch, still it is in our ashram. He materialized the conch, the full conch he materialized and gave Me. That was the time I asked him for the initiation. That was the first time I asked him for initiation. He said, “You have to go through step by step.” Means the Yama, all the 8... 8 parts - Ashtanga Yoga; and anyhow, he initiated Me.

The moment he initiated....the place where he initiated is...it’s called Kritikkai Mandapam in temple in Arunachala, Arunachala Temple. The moment he initiated Me, he gave Me the Shakti Mantra. The moment he gave that mantra, simply like a flash, I was able to see the Devi with Ankusha and Paasa, Abhaya and Varada, she was standing in ftront of Me. The moment I saw the Devi, he was telling Me, “Meditate on Devi.” I said, “She is here”, I could see. He had the shock of his life. He himself never expected that I will have darshan of Devi, immediately after initiation. And he asked Me, “What are you seeing?” I said, “I am seeing Devi, with the four hands. She is there in front of Me.” He did not believe. Anyhow, he just smiled and left it.

But I was filled with joy and ecstasy. When I went back to the house, I picked up a stone, picked up a nail, just hit...heated the nail, with beating, beating, beating, I made like a small chisel out of that nail and started carving what I saw. Whatever I saw, I carved on that stone. It took many days for Me. Finally somehow I finished. Even then I was not satisfied with the finishing. There was one friend, who used to do this carving. I went and asked him to do little...asked him to help Me. With his help, finally somehow I finished the final touch. That is the murthy which you saw today evening. Today morning, which you saw that murthy, that was personally done by Me around the age of 5 after the initiation. He taught Me completely the Ashtanga Yoga. Trained Me from the first step to the... all the 8 steps of Ashtanga Yoga - pranayama, asana, especially some 3-4 hours he will make Me to do asanas. And not only that, after that he will take Me to that nearby hotel and get the coffee and food as I told you. Still that hotel owner is there! He remembers the whole thing! He remembers the whole thing.

And there is one more beautiful incident. That hotel owner is a very charitable guy. He used to give food for sadhus. Every amavasya and poornima, he will get some 10 sadhus and give them food. One amavasya, some reason he did not get sadhus. Myself and this Yogi, both of them went to his hotel, after we had a coffee, that hotel owner was complaining to that Yogi, “Today I did not get 10 sadhus, usually I always get 10 sadhus on amavasya and poornima, I give them food, free food. Today I did not get the sadhus. My vow is broken, what to do?” Then this Yogi said, Yogi made a comment, “Don’t worry, you gave food for this boy na, you have fed 1000 sadhus, don’t worry.” The Yogi made a comment and still that hotel owner remembers. Actually just one year ago, when I went back to Arunachala, the hotel owner took Me to his house and did Pada Puja. After that with pouring eyes, he remembered and said the same incident. He remembered the incident and said, “When that Yogi said, I never believed. I never understood. Now I know, now I know, I have fed really 1000s of sadhus.” And that Yogi told that hotel owner, “Don’t think He is a small boy. When time comes you will understand.”

And this Yogi took My photograph also. You see, in Bharatn villages, photography is not so popular; especially in those days. 20 years ago, photography is not a big...not an easy thing; it’s a very big thing. And one more thing, still I remember, camera will be half of this room size. There will be a black curtain, that guy will get into that curtain and do dama dama, dimi dimi - some sound, and after 3 hours he will come out, you have to be sitting for half an hour and when he will take photo you don’t know. And it’s a big job and lot of money also. At least 100 rupees, those days you have to spend. Now a days photography has become very easy. 100 rupees, you will get camera itself. In those days, this Yogi took money from the hotel owner only, to take the photograph. And naturally the hotel owner will ask...even I was asking, “Why did you take photograph? Why do you want to take the photograph?” But actually I was enjoying, because being photographed is a big thing. Being photographed is a big thing. I asked him, “Why do you want to take the photograph and so much of, spending so much of money” And that hotel owner also asked him, “Why do you spend so much of money and take this photograph?” That Yogi did not answer. But after the photograph came, in a paper he wrote, “When time comes, whole world will thank me for this photograph.” He wrote these very words in Tamil. He wrote these very words in Tamil and put that paper into the photograph, with that photograph and gave it to Me. Still we have the photograph and the paper both, in our ashram. That’s the first photograph which you will be seeing Me sitting like this; maybe the age of 9… that’s the first photograph you will be seeing.

And this Yogi used to teach Me all these practices; actually he’ll make Me walk, climb on the pillars, on the stone temple pillars holding one hand. I used to ask him, “Why are you making Me do all these things.” He will tell Me, “This is the age to do all these things.” This is the age to do all these things. Actually, Ashtanga Yoga can be practiced only before the age of 14. Now I really understand, Ashtanga Yoga is designed for the people… that is the syllabus for the people who are in Gurukul before the age of 14. That is not the syllabus for the people who are starting after 14. I tell you, now I can very clearly understand, why the...that Yogi was training Me in Ashtanga Yoga at the age of….from the age of 3. Actually, My whole physical strength I vow to him. It’s just because of his training; hours together I used to do yoga. He’ll make Me stand, the topsy turvy, Shirasasana - headstand, for one hour two hour. He’ll make Me stand and tell...he will tell Me, “Till I come back, be like this.” And he will go away somewhere. I know I should be sitting because I have to have My coffee na.. I have to have My coffee or toffee, whatever. So for that, I’ll be standing there. And moreover somehow, the relationship got developed between Me and him. Because of that, I started obeying him, whatever he says, I have started obeying him.

And he is also very nice funny guy and he will do whatever I want. If I don’t want to go to school, I will tell, “Aye, today My…..” We will call him as Guru. “Guruji, today My….I don’t want to go to school. My Maths teacher has given Me homework. Just see that he doesn’t come to school.” And he will tell, “Alright, I will take care”, and that teacher will fall sick. Simply he will fall sick, the teacher will fall sick. This guy will do anything for Me and whatever I ask, it will be done, simply it will be done; because of that whatever he says, I also used to do. Whatever he says, I used to do… very intimate relationship.

Actually, he used to tell Me. “This whole thing you have to finish learning before 14.” I always wondered - why? Actually, Ashtanga Yoga can never be learnt after 14. Anybody who learnt Ashtanga Yoga after 14, they only know the techniques, they can never have experience, because the very basic thing, the Ashtanga Yogas basic thing - Yama - Niyama, means the Yama - Brahmacharya - Ahimsa...first thing Brahmacharya. Let Me be very clear, let Me be….let Me make a very bold statement, it’s a very strong but true statement - “After 14 … after 14 only Enlightened person can be Brahmachari.” Let you be very clear. After 14 except Enlightened person, Brahmacharya is simply impossible. If you have to master the Yama, it has to be done before 14. Before 14, it should have been done. If it has not happened, after 14 unless you are Enlightened Brahmacharya is impossible. Either you should have mastered it; you should have mastered the Ashtanga Yoga before 14 or impossible, simply impossible!

It’s not that I disrespect the Sannyas tradition of our Bharat… no I don’t disrespect. They are really working, striving to achieve, but except an Enlightened being, it is impossible. I am making a very bold statement for the sake of record. Let it be recorded, just for that I am making, but it is the truth. It’s a 100% truth! Anybody who wants to refute, I can stand for this statement. After 14, only an Enlightened person can be Brahmachari; otherwise it is impossible. So Ashtanga Yoga can be mastered only before 14. Before 14 only Ashtanga Yoga can be mastered, otherwise it is impossible.

I always tell these...even our ashram brahmacharis, I tell them, “Till Enlightenment, Brahmacharya is impossible. You are unmarried...you are unmarried just to avoid so much of nonsensical problems which will happen in your life if you are married, that’s all.” Be very clear - Brahmacharya is not a spiritual vow, staying single is not a spiritual vow, it’s a social vow. I am completely giving a new definition and dimension. Understand. I am breaking few strong ices, ice layers. I tell these brahmacharis, “Aye, be very clear, now you are single… because if you get married, the thousands of headaches and the problems, nonsense, which you have to go through, just to escape from that - you are a single. But do not carry the guilt that Brahmacharya is not happening in you. It will happen only when you become Enlightened.” I tell them very clearly, “It will happen only when you become Enlightened.” So do not give spiritual importance to it. It’s only a social law.

And one more thing I tell them, “Do not think that married people are all living happily. There are...more than 90% married people are also living as a celibates.” Let you be very clear about the insider secrets. And do not think married people are all living as they want or as you think. These unmarried guys are all thinking that married people are all living as they want. It’s not! It is not true. If I have to break the ice openly, this is the truth. I tell them, “Do not think the other side, other shore is green.” Let Me be very clear, only the people who are sitting in this shore, they think the other shore is green, but the people who are in the other shore, they are thinking this shore is green. But the problem is, there is no bridge to jump from here to there. There is only one-way bridge - from Brahmacharya you can go to marriage, from marriage you can’t….skip.

Anyhow, let’s come to the subject. The Ashtanga Yoga is the syllabus created by Patanjali, for the people who joined the Gurukula around the age of 5, to practice till the age of 14. The whole Ashtanga Yoga finishes by 14...by 14.

He used to make Me to do all sorts of this yoga; physical and pranayam. Of course above all, making Me meditate, constantly meditate - asking Me to concentrate on different chakras and meditation, different syllables, mantra, working with sound. He is such an adept in sound… he will just make few sounds - dogs...the far away...actually, something like a 1 furlong away, the dogs which are there, they will just come running towards him. I have seen, he will just sit in his place and make few sound. It will not be even like a dog’s voice; just that sound, dogs will come running, running towards him. He is such an adept in handling the sound.

And I have seen him doing all sorts of things. He will break a stone with a sound. He will take a stone and hold in his hand, just create some sound in the throat and that sound will feel like as if a hammer, hammer is hitting and the stone will be there as a 2 piece; he will give it in the hand. He will just take a stone near the mouth, that...he will create a sound, the sound will be the same sound of like a hitting the hammer. He used to tell Me, “The sound... the... when you are hitting the hammer, what sound is created, the same decibel sound if you can create and concentrate it on...on a product, it can...it will have the same effect of as if being beaten by the hammer.” And simply the stone will become 2 piece and he will give it in the hand.

He is such an adept with the sounds and just by creating a sound I have seen him hiding people. He will hide people by creating a sound, like a screen, the sound will become like a screen, he will hide the people. Actually, in those days when I don’t go to school, the village is too small village, so they will send the school watchman, to go around and see the... wherever the boys are hiding to bring them back, to bring them to school. Whenever My watchman comes, if this Yogi is around Me, I’ll tell him, “See, the watchman is coming, that…..” We call him as Thatha, means the grandfather. The watchman is called as Thatha. He was very elderly gentleman. He is still alive, that watchman is also. That watchman also remembers all these incidents. When this Yogi is there, I will tell him, “See that watchman is there.” He will create some sound, the watchman will come. He will be standing in front of Me, but he will see this side and that side, he will not be able to see Me and he will go away.
