In the deep night I was in a small room with other devotees - sanyasis and family people alike. The atmosphere was extremely joyous. But the room was so packed that there was hardly any space left. 

Suddenly Baba came and gave the Varabhaya Mudra. And everyone went totally beyond themselves, totally drowned in Bliss. 

I remember seeing an old acarya from my early years in Ananda Marga who had been very dear to me. He looked at me with eyes wide open.
