On our North India Tour with our Ashram, we arrived at a medium-sized place.
We were a little bit late…
And no space for the Western devotees …
I went straight to the local organizer…
Sorry, there is no space for us, where can we sit?
You get all the time the best space and you can travel with our Guru…
And the negotiation started…
That is unfair…
Some women helped me …
In the end, we didn’t get anything…
I asked for our tour organizer Jnani, because she had much more power than me… She refused…
I went to Big Swami, the highest after our Guru.
And told him…
He said we cannot do anything…
Then we were waiting for our Guru and she didn’t come.
After 1 hour, they announced, that our Guru would not come if there was no space for our Western devotees..
Guess, what happened …
We got plenty of space…
Afterward, we went to a huge event with over 150000 Indians
I had to help Jnani and came too late…
No space for me…
And too little space for our people.
I said I don’t care I sit outside of the event…
I was meditating alone, at least a 100m distance…
No squeezing.
Not so noisy.
Much better than sitting in the place.
And I decided to do so also at the next events…
Guess?
Our Guru could not come …
After 20 minutes they found me …
And said,
Our Guru can not come…
I said:
“I have found a good place for meditation, I don’t take away the space for other devotees…”
“So, what do You want from me?”
You have to come to our Guru immediately…
I felt uneasy, that I have done something wrong…
“But Jnani is not sitting there either…”
That is not true, she is sitting in the back of the stage…
I took my meditation mat and followed her…
I was afraid that they would squeeze me between the Indians…
I thought, next time I will hide better…
Then I had to go on the stage in front of this huge crowd.
The Indians immediately stand up,
I bowed in front of them…
And we had this mess again,
They bowed in front of me.
Were sitting down…
After 5 minutes the dust was settling down..
Big Swami came, and the people stood up…
Big Swami said to me,
When You cannot find space for yourself, then go on the stage, we don’t want to wait for you.
“I am an introvert, I am afraid and feel uneasy to sit in front of so many people… And the other devotees are jealous, everybody wants to sit here.” That was the reason why I didn’t like to sit on the stage.
Normally, I could always sit on the stage…
We know that already, after some time you get used to that. And here is no other chance than to sit on the stage, we can’t protect you in this place.
Our Guru came, put her mat next to me, and sat down.
I emerged in deep meditation as usual…
This was what they wanted…
All females and males, including me, had long curly hairs and the males had a full beard… The guru and I were in white cloth… The Swamis in red, the Brahmacharis in Orange and White.
This was perfectly arranged.
I was the guy for meditation, Big Swami for singing, he had a very beautiful tenor, incredible… I think he could be a Superstar with this voice! And the Brahmacharis, females, and males, could all sing perfectly…
We had the best Bhajan Choir in India…
