It is very hard for me to speak now here, because always Kṛṣṇānanda was speaking and I was just supporting him from behind. We were really lucky that in 1976 we had the chance to go to Czechoslovakia, and we got to know Libuše Pilárová. I saw Svāmījī for the first time on the wall of her home. There was a translator with us from Košice, and he said that if we would like to meet a real yogī, a real master, then we should invite this person to Hungary. After a few months, we managed to get in contact with Katarina. She said that Svāmījī was at the moment in India, but when he comes back, or when she manages to talk to him, then she will tell him that we are looking forward to seeing him. We tried week after week to persuade our leader at that time to invite Svāmījī, but he always said, "Okay, okay, later, later." But finally, we managed to invite Svāmījī in May. He came, and he arrived by train, the Wienerwärtser. I waited at home, and we tried to give back to the Czechs the hospitality that we got from them. Kṛṣṇānanda went to the station. There was another boy who had a car, so two of them went to the train station. Svāmījī came from the last wagon of the train, walking forward, and then Kṛṣṇānanda looked at him and said, "Yes, this is him." Our leader at that time became very nervous because there was no hotel, there was no vegetarian meal, and nothing was prepared. So we invited Svāmījī to our home, but we didn't know what a master meant. We asked Svāmījī to sit on the floor, and we sat next to him, and we chatted, but Svāmījī was very polite and he was smiling all the time. I remember that our neighbor, who lived below us, was at the moment in Germany, and he said that we could use his flat if we needed. So I invited Svāmījī to see it. It was also a very small flat, 37 square metres, and it was full of inflatable mattresses prepared for the Czech backpackers to sleep there. Svāmījī went to see this flat and looked around at the mattresses and said, "This is what I need, this is what I need, this is what I need." And my ego jumped to the ceiling. How does he think that he will sleep here alone? But after a few days, all the boys were sleeping downstairs and all the women were sleeping in the flat above. In Hungary, they don't usually leave their shoes outside like in Czechoslovakia, so the whole building was full of shoes. The neighbors were thinking, "Who are these crazy people to invite so many guests?" And even one night, someone had to sleep at the bus stop. But finally, everything sorted out. And Svāmījī stayed with us for one month. The picture is just in front of me when Svāmījī left. Me and Kṛṣṇānanda were sitting on the ground, and Svāmījī was on the train, and our eyes were full of tears—me, Kṛṣṇānanda, and Svāmījī. And then Svāmījī said, "Now I live here to see, let's see how they grow." Our first weekend program was in Virágosnyerek; it was only one weekend. The next week was near a village called Páty. And in 1980, we were so lucky to have Gurujī with us. I remember there was a huge storm. Everyone tried to hold the tent; otherwise, the storm would have blown it away. But still, we had a very good time. Svāmījī had all the yoga programs every day. He ran around the camp with us, and we felt very good. We had a very good time. And after that, whenever Svāmījī had a program, we always went and always tried to lead more and more potential disciples to him. I'm really grateful to God that I was so lucky to get to know Svāmījī. And I am only the first disciple because Kṛṣṇānanda is polite. So, thank you very much. Do you want to say one or two bhajans? No, I don't want to. Bina Kamala Chanda Bina Rajani, Aise Tumma Dekhiya Bina Sajani. Aise Tumma Dekhiya Bina Sajani, Abhyākālejo Rāsannādījo.
