India. Swamiji was going to get help from ayurvedic
doctors or die in the holy land of Vrindaban. He gave
a powerful talk in the temple the night before his departure
asking his disciples to carry on with their
spiritual progress and spread the movement he
started. Many devotees were moved to tears by the
thought of separation from Swamiji and the mission
he gave them.
The morning of July 22, 1967, before leaving,
Swamiji initiated a number of new disciples, some of
whom were only around for a day.
I planed to go to the airport to see Swamiji off, but
there was no room in the car for some new devotees. I
let them have my seat since some of them spent little
time with Swamiji. I went home with Krishna Devi,
and cried feeling love and separation from Swamiji.
He completely reshaped my life giving me new meaning
and purpose, and I didn't know if I would see him
again. Krishna Devi comforted me. After a short
while, I got myself together.
