In the welcome assembly, devotees from different regions of England offered garlands or bouquets to Swamishri. An aged devotee, Harmankaka, stepped onto the stage with his walking stick. After offering a bouquet to Swamishri, he wished to bow and touch Swamishri’s feet. As he was thinking about placing his stick on one side, Swamishri held it for him. After bowing down, he got up and then took out his rosary and gave it to Swamishri to say it and sanctify it - a routine he has been doing every time he welcomes Swamishri. Swamishri satisfied his wish and Harmankaka ambled happily across the stage with his walking stick.

The entire assembly saw Swamishri’s patience and love for a senior devotee.
