students before Bhajans. Calling up several students with letters, He read
out the letters aloud, commented on the contents, and sent them back with
the letters, saying that He's not taking the letters since anyway they
have to be just put into the waste-paper basket, but He would take the
contents of the letters. He asked some of the students their names, and
asked them the meaning of their names. One of them had written the phrase
"more and more" in his letter - Swami punned on the word "more", asking
him his meaning - it means buttermilk in Tamil! He also spoke to some
ladies, carrying on a long-distance conversation from His throne. When it
became five o'clock, Swami asked for the Bhajans to begin, and half an
hour later accepted Arati and returned to His residence. April 4,
