It was unbelievable.
Not 100. Not 200. Not 500 or even 1,000. But over 2,000 balaks had gathered
in the grand Pramukh Sabha Hall in Tithal! Can you imagine that?! They
had come from over 12 different regions of the Valsad district for a
special sabha in the presence of Swamishri. They were eagerly waiting
for Swamishri's darshan and ashirwad.
As
Swamishri entered the hall there was a thunderous applause. You couldn't
even hear yourself think! Swamishri gave wonderful blessings to all
those present. At the end he called P. Vivekswarup Swami. P. Vivekswarup
Swami is the Kothari of Tithal mandir. Swamishri asked him if he wants
to organise samip darshan – darshan of Swamishri up-close.
He replied, “there's no need.”
But Swamishri replied, “we kept it for the adults, there's no
harm in organising it for the balaks. So lets do it for them.”
Swamishri showed how
much love and care he has for the balaks. The samip-darshan wasn't planned.
There was no need to arrange it. The balaks probably wouldn't have minded
either. But Swamishri sacrificed his own time and the hardship to himself
of sitting there for the extra hour or so. That's Swamishri. He genuinely
cares.
