In the morning, Swamishri arrived for darshan in London mandir. Again, standing beside the shrine of Hanumanji were Shrikant Patel and Ashok Daliya. Yesterday, Swamishri had told Ashok to take inspiration from Shrikant. As Swamishri approached the pair, he looked at Ashok, began to laugh, and asked, "What have you done to your hair?"
Shrikant, who is almost bald, intervened and explained, "Yesterday you told him to do like me, so, like me, he's become bald!" In fact, Ashok had worn a bald wig. Swamishri said, "But I was referring to the tilak-chandlo, not the hair!" Then, removing the wig, Ashok revealed the tilak-chandlo. Swamishri was pleased and blessed him.
