Sai Ram, It is the 18th with Christmas only a week away, many people are busy

rehearsing, mending decorations and practicing being a seva dal to prepare for

the 24th and 25th.

Invitations have been extended to Baba to attend Christmas Dinner in the Western

Canteen. Foreigners continue to pour in with the numbers rising slowly. Many

people working hard to please Our Lord. Baba continues to be an enigma. He is

uncertainity itself. There is no such thing as a typical darshan with security

and others not knowing what to expect or how to prepare. Thursday Morning Baba

came out at 7:15 going directly to the men's side where he took many letters

even encouraging people to come forward. The car took two rights to have the

verandah on the left. When the car came to the center it slowed, none knew

whether he was going down the center driveway or to the women's section. It was

the latter. As he circled around, he spoke with several women and to some

students from primary school. What was he going to do next? We waited. He

drove around more students and then it was the center driveway and to

points unknown outside the ashram as he has done now for the fourth straight

morning. Baba returned up this same driveway about twenty minutes later. He

went inside. Darshan, arathi and Baba leaving 15 minutes later. Wednesday

afternoon Baba came about 3:30 giving beautiful darshan on the verandah. The

boys chanted. He once again had the 8th grade American up in front of everyone

reciting Vedic verses. Baba was pleased as he patted him on the head and cheek.

At 4:40 Baba went inside. I didn't mention that on Tuesday afternoon three

college boys spoke for about fifteen minutes each. Gerald Sai Ram
