On 30 January 1976, Swamishri was in Sankari, at Shaligram Maganbhai Patil's house on the first floor. There, three brothers came to meet him.

Swamishri asked their names.

"I'm Narayan Patil," said one.

"I'm Narayan Vithal Patil," said another.

"I'm Narayan Bhau Patil," said the last.

Swamishri burst into a balloon of laughter. "This here with us is Narayan Bhagat, sitting next to me is Narayanprasad, and I'm Narayanswarup!... Today all the 'Narayans' (gods) have got together. They'll hold a meeting and talk about their individual universes!"

Swamishri's spontaneous light-heartedness must have worked wonders for the three strangers. All three took vartman and joined the Satsang. And they're still firm satsangis to this day.
