“When I went to San Jose, they took me to this uhh roller coaster ride.”

When I went to San Jose, they took me to this uhh roller coaster ride. And (..) it was really horrible, horrible is a small word. First I said: “No, no, this roller coaster and all, no, I don’t want. It’s too much.” They said: “No, no, no Swamiji.” They started selling: “No, no, no, it will be really fun. Really fun.” And these guys wanted to go. And they wanted to somehow push me into it. And they wanted to see the fun. Finally I said: “Alright, we will buy ticket, we’ll go inside, I’ll see people who come out, how they feel. If I see they’re really happy, I’ll take their testimonial, and their experiences, then I’ll get in to, otherwise I will not sit.”

So, they (..) anyhow, finally they took ticket, some $6 or something. We went inside. When the roller coaster comes and stops, I saw all the fellows were shouting: “Oh!” raising the hand. I thought: “Oh God, it must be fun then. This must be a great fun.” So I got in. I sat and they put that bar. That steel bar and practically we were locked. And it just took off “woooo!” and in 10 second my turban flew off. (All laughing) I was wearing the turban and it went away and got caught in the steel angle and like a flag (Swamiji imitating waving of the flag).

[00:01:55] And my kaavi flag is flying above. And the roller coaster. And it got stuck in the (..) and (..) it is a 6 metre cloth. My turban is actually 6 metre cloth. And only 1 corner was stuck in that frame, and at least 3, 4 metre flag it is flying. And it went on upside down, upside down (..) Now I know how one chakra merges into other chakra. I am searching where is my Swadisthana, it’s already in Sahasrara. And my Ajna is sleeping with the Kundalini. And Manipuraka is trying to separate the Swadhisthana from Anahata.

[00:02:45] And dang dang dang, up down, up down, up down and finally when it came and stood, I saw I was also shouting “wooo!” No, then I realised, people shout because the trip ended, not because the trip was joyful. (All laughing) I realised the secret only after that. But anyhow, I have, I got down and came out, and these few disciples who were also reason for inspiring me to get in, they are all waiting for the next trip and they all asked me: “Swamiji, how is the trip, how is the trip?” I thought: “Come on, it is the ultimate, please go go go.” I thought why only should, I should go. Why should you guys be sitting here. Go. (All laughing)
