14 A VISIT THAT NEVER HAPPENED
We invited him every year and whenever time permitted he came. We all
took it for granted that he would come every year and we would have this
blessed time; time and again. In 2005 we had to relocate to Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
By then his health had started to fail. But we would call him on the phone and
invite him.
He used to
ask: “How far is it?”
“Close to
Chicago Maharaj”.
“Is there any direct flight?”
“No maharaj; you have to come via Denver or Minneapolis or
Chicago.” Used to be our sad reply.
But he couldn’t make it. He wanted
to come but he couldn’t do a break-journey. So we went a few times to SF to
meet him. Some of our devotees also went to meet him in SF.
