I remember my mother always preferring to stroll around the ashram or find a silent spot to sit down rather than facing the ordeal of lining up and go in the ladies’ section. I remember the chaos that reigned for Christmas 2010; I just walked back to sit the North block gardens when I arrived near the lines and saw that there was absolutely no sense to how all was put up.Had I read this, I would not have been so shocked when I first landed there years back. The pro-Sai sites do not say how much of a circus the whole place is. But at the same time I think that facing the ordeals of pollution, shameless beggars and porters, long hours of sitting on the floor gave me some kind of stamina but if it wasn’t for my former belief of SB as being God, I would have never done that on my own.
