Swami's students are His favourite devotees. His love and humour manifest themselves in their most intensive form during His interaction with them. It is in their company that Swami is fully relaxed and in his jolliest mood. Given below are two instances which illustrate this point. These took place in Trayee, His residence in Brindavan, Kadugodi, Bangalore. In addition to students, teaching staff and some old devotees are also present on these occasions, which have come to be known as Trayee Sessions.
Groundnut is transformed
One evening, at the end of the Trayee session, when Swami got up from the jhoola, a snack of fried groundnuts was offered to Him. Swami looked towards Shri Narasimha Murthy, the then warden, with a lovely smile. He picked up one groundnut and threw it to him and said, "Eat it." As Narasimha Murthy was about to put it in his mouth, Swami intervened. "No, it is not for eating, look at it closely."
Narasimha Murthy was astonished to discover that the groundnut had been transformed into a tiny crystal Ganesha. He looked at it with wonder as the boys craned their necks to get a sight of it.
"Show it to them," commanded the Lord with a mischievous smile. As he held up the tiny idol for all to see, Swami looked towards the boys and said jokingly, "What would have happened with your warden, if he had eaten up Ganesha?" Everyone had a hearty laugh.
