One day when Robert was in Baba's house with the students in Brindavan, Swami was in another room and called "America". He came to the door to get Robert. Swami had a man there and they were looking at a table with attached chairs.
Swami said to Robert, "Sit down. What do you think?"
Robert wriggled round a bit and said, "Swami, too small for Westerners!" Swami replied, "I think so too!" The man standing there said, "I'll make the seats two inches larger."
"Yes," replied Swami. "Westerners, you know, Suprabottoms!"
It was a great play on the Sanskrit word "Suprabhatam". They were the tables and chairs for the new canteen in Prashanti.
