Narrator:
Greetings, viewers. We are here before you today with a special announcement. There is some good news: Gurudev, who hasn't been able to meet with devotees for quite some time, has made a decision. Starting Monday, March 21st, he will begin seeing ten devotees per day. Let's hear directly from him about the details.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
There's nothing more to it. Kalu Da stays here. You should come to him. He will record your names in a register and provide tokens-or whatever system they decide on. I will see ten people every day. Kalu Da will turn away anyone beyond those ten. In ten days, I will have seen a hundred people. We cannot have a rush. There should be no "Why won't you see me first?" behavior. Come to Kalu Da, get your name registered, and he will give you a token for the ten people to be seen.
Narrator:
So, it's first-come, first-served?
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Yes. I cannot make exceptions. Even if people I know personally show up, I will not entertain them out of turn. Everyone must follow the rules of this establishment. Kalu Da manages this, so let me introduce him. Many of you may already know him, but let's show him anyway.
Narrator:
Viewers, this is Kalu Da. He is Gurudev's long-time associate and companion of many years. He currently looks after the temple and Gurudev. He will be managing the arrangements for everyone. Please remember, it is strictly first-come, first-served. There will be no favoritism. Do not think that Kalu Da will prioritize people he knows. The rules are the same for everyone. This is Kalu Da. Kalu Da, please offer your greetings to the viewers.
Devotee:
(Nods/Gritings)
Narrator:
That is Kalu Da. You should contact him, and he will arrange your meeting with Gurudev.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
One more thing: no one is to come to my house. If you come to my house, I will not see you. That is final. I will see ten people here at the temple daily, provided my health permits. If the doctor forbids it, then I won't be able to come. In that case, you might have to go back without a meeting. If you cooperate with me, I will start sitting here from the 21st. I need this cooperation. Many people tell me, "There's no need to sit for meetings now, just stay home and rest. If you stay healthy, you can help many more people later." Others keep asking, "When will you start seeing people again?"
Narrator:
Also, Gurudev, you won't be seeing anyone on Saturdays or Sundays?
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
No, I have never seen people on Saturdays or Sundays, and I won't now. I also exclude three other days: Amavasya (New Moon), Purnima (Full Moon), and Ekadashi. I will not see people on those three days. I will be available five days a week, from Monday to Friday. I will see ten people a day, whoever Kalu Da recommends. Even if my own acquaintances come, they will have to go back if they aren't among the ten. Everyone knows me, but they must follow the rules. People are even showing up at my house at 6:00 AM while I am still sleeping. This is very disturbing. This must stop, or I won't be able to continue. My health simply doesn't permit it.
Narrator:
Viewers, you have heard Gurudev's special announcement. To be honest, those of us close to him pressured him to start seeing devotees because so many were asking. He has finally agreed. Please be mindful of the rules, otherwise, you will be the ones inconvenienced.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Kalu Da will select ten people, and I will see them. There will be no problems. But even if my own people come, they must wait their turn or go back. I will not see more than ten people.
Narrator:
You heard the announcement, viewers. Please come accordingly. Everything depends on what is in your destiny. Pranam, Gurudev.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Pranam, Baba. Pranam.
