After my initiation in 1976, I recommended to my friend Rayan and his wife to also get initiated which they did. Rayans wife was an Indian citizen and a year after the initiation she went to visit her parents in India. She asked her father to accompany her to Mahans Sabhai in Tiruvanjuli. Her father was a staunch Christian and of course did not have any faith in Mahan but because of his daughter he obliged. At the Sabhai, the father was a bit arrogant and bluntly told Mahan he did not believe in Kundalini Yoga or its philosopy.Mahan just laughed it off. After some time with Mahan and when they were about leave the Sabhai, Mahan warned the man not keep his purse in the shirt pocket as the area was notorious for pickpockets. The man brushed off Mahans advise and said rather a bit arrogantly no one can steal from him and they left. When they reached the Bus Terminal the man found his pocket empty---his purse has mysteriously vanished or was it stolen? They had some loose change which they managed to buy the tickets back home.
