I too sat with UG:
I too had the privilege or sacrilege of meeting and seeing and sitting
with that living physical UG for almost every occasion that he made it
to India in the past 5-6 years, at our large hearted friend Mr
Chandrashekhar Babu's residence (Banashankari, Bangalore). Let me take
this occasion to thank Chandrashekhar and family and friends for their
great graceful effort that they put into in extending the neat and
nice hospitality for the people like us gathered there around UG!
First my friends Kumar and Anandraj took me to UG in Bangalore. Then I
used to go to UG with my friend Jayaram Reddy, who is equally
interested in exploring the "spirtual stuffs", even though he some
times expressed his uneasiness with UG's direct hitting and tamasha-
like stuff! Perhaps our friend was expecting some higher holy spirit!.
But UG talks about 'shit!' Of course our friend got it later what it
ought to be! We friends including Santosh, Anad and others, among our
circles,were as always joking UG in terms of Useless Guy v/s Unique
Guy! Believe it or not, currently our one friend Mr Ganesh is pursuing
his Ph.D. course (academic stuff!) on UG from the University of
Mysore!
To put into my tit-bit words:
UG was unique and was at once "enlightened"! (eventhough UG doesn't
want to accept that, it's ok). Of course I was a silent spectator
there in the small or big bunch of peoples group that used to gather
around him there just to see or hear or to have a mere presence with
UG. I never asked a question to him. Of course, there were lots and
loads of questions shot by the other friends before UG, so I didn't
feel the need to add one more. Even in his late 80's of age, UG was as
vibrant and alert and sharp as a shining sharpened knife. He always
hammered the people to their bones and marrows through his sudden and
unimagined remarks that pierced like arrows.
He used to engage people in conversations and non-serious dialogues
from morning to late evening, even without a small trace of
'tiredness'. i remember, once he remarked that his body never sweats
and so even there was no need to clean or change his bed linens daily
or so! There was no break in his ever flowing energy and enthusiasm.
If it enters, it was enlightenment; if it does't, it was
entertainment; and either way we benefited! Just his presence was
enough, to encounter a kind of explosion deep in me. He never allowed
any one to involve in serious fruitless headless philosophy hypes. He
directly hits on our stomach. For me UG was a living meditation or a
state of cosmic orgasm, a state in perfect harmony and tune with the
existence. UG talked all "craps-like" and "shits-like" stuff, just to
hit us so that we can wake up from our slumber. UG spoke exactly what
he "sees", without a slightest pretention. He was authentic and
eccentric, for he got "it" or "that" which is not there as he tells.
Are we ready!
