The 24th November is called the day of Victory in remem-
        brance of a very important spiritual event which took place in
        1926.

        Darshan
            It is a mistake to bring sick people or the insane to the
        Darshan for cure — the Darshan is not meant for that. If any-
        thing is to be done or can be done for them, it can be done at
        a distance. The Force that acts at the time of Darshan is of an-
        other kind and one deranged or feeble in mind cannot receive
        or cannot assimilate it — it may produce a contrary effect ow-
        ing to this incapacity if received at all. If the Force is withheld,
        then Darshan is useless, if received by such people it is unsafe.
        It is similar reasons which dictate the rule forbidding children of
        tender years to be brought to the Darshan.

            Sweet Mother, How should one spend the Darshan days, Decem-

        In search of a knowledge truer than ordinary knowledge.
            The fifth and ninth in understanding what death is.
            The birthday in finding out the purpose of life.
            Blessings.

        Darshan days, then and now
            Sweet Mother, why does one feel a different atmosphere on
            Darshan days? What should one do on these days?

            Different? You ask this question!... There is an invasion of
