<strong>The</strong> <strong>Story</strong> <strong>Of</strong> <strong>Swami</strong> <strong>Rama</strong><br />

Japanese which <strong>Swami</strong> did not understand, "How<br />

funny! Every one of us wishes to marry this<br />

beautiful man!" <strong>The</strong>y giggled and cracked jokes<br />

and played with him. He stood a bit handicapped,<br />

being ignorant of their language. He asked me<br />

what they said and I deliberately misinterpreted<br />

them. I only said: "<strong>The</strong>y desire to hear you speak<br />

on Vedanta and they wish to come to you to learn<br />

it and attend your classes," He bowed and said:<br />

"Tell them they are always welcome, <strong>Rama</strong> is as<br />

much theirs as of anyone else".<br />

He was for about a fortnight in Tokyo and then left<br />

for America in the ship which Professor Chhatre of<br />

Poona had chartered to convey his circus.<br />
