Saying of Swamishri

Water for Washing  


1977. Kisumu. Swamishri arrived at Miwani Sugar Factory after almost three hours of exhausting padhramanis. As he relaxed in the reception lounge, the fatigue on his face was clear. I knew he must have been thirsty because he hadn't drank anything since we'd left that morning. So I offered some water to Thakorji, then offered it to Swamishri. But Swamishri wanted to wash his hands first. They'd become red with all the kumkum from the padhramanis. I quickly found a large bowl in which Swamishri could wash his hands. As I brought both the bowl and glass of water to Swamishri, he suddenly pulled away his hands. I thought Swamishri was teasing me.

So I moved even closer.

"Krishnapriya," Swamishri said, "the glass has Thakorji's prasadi water. You can't wash hands with that. Bring another glass of water."

Such a subtle point, yet Swamishri has never let his devotion for Thakorji falter.
