A certain visitor began to pull the pankah. Sri Bhagavan said: “Because it is cold, they have placed fire by my side. Why should the pankah be pulled?”
Then he continued: “On a cold morning, when I was in Virupakshi cave, I was sitting in the open. I was feeling cold. People used to come, see me and go back. A group of Andhra visitors had come. I did not notice what they were doing. They were behind me. Suddenly a noise “Tak”—and water over my head! I shivered with cold. I looked back. They had broken a coconut and poured the water on me. They thought that it was worship. They took me for a stone image.”
