Gyani Baile & Dolly Baile

she wrote the check for $17 as representation of her 17 virtues. The way
things appeared there, she did not feel right about handing the pearl
necklace to one of the three Pujaris there. So she gave the basket of
offering without the pearls, saying to herself that as soon as she reaches
home she will put it in mandir money bank. This so called money bank
is simply a pot in the mandir at home, where she periodically keeps
adding the charity money which she plans to distribute among the less
privileged people in India during her periodic visits. She gave the basket
to one of the Pujaris (later it turned out that he was not a priest but a very
devoted physician who knew all the procedures and mantras like the
priests and was dressed like a priest for the Shivaratri day). He said break
this coconut before offering to God (though others were not being asked
to do so). There was an American lady, probably the only non-Indian in
the temple that day, who helped her in breaking the coconut. Dolly took
the coconut up to this Pujari and he returned it saying it is bad, throw it
away and it cannot be offered to God. She noticed that the coconut did
have the spoiled look. Normally she would have taken it as a bad omen
but somehow she did not think it that way and simply threw away the
coconut.

she hardly found any time to do her serious meditation which she
thought was the main purpose of being there that night. Till 3 AM, that
night she must have done a total of 2 hours meditation and that too
without much Updesh from Baba or any other experience. At 3 AM, she
ignored the Abhisekam and plunged into meditation. She asked "Baba,
what happened? I was expecting so much to happen on this night and
nothing has happened. Was there nothing to it? Did my mind play tricks
on me? Did my mind create all those messages which I thought you
were sending to me? Please do something, confirm that it was you, and
real. I will not leave this place till you talk to me." At that time for the
first time that night she felt very strong vibrations in the right side of her
head from ear to the top of the head; a strong sensation from the bottom
of her back to the mid back; a fluttering feeling in the heart chakra; and
the blue light 4 times magnified than the normal and also looked and felt
very different. This went on for quite some time when the Pujari broke
