Master begins His Tour

The Living Master Kirpal Singh Ji Maharaj left India for Germany, the first stop on His 1972–73 world tour, at 2 a.m., 26^th August, 1972. About twenty buses were reportedly hired to carry the Satsangis from Sawan Ashram to the airport so that they could have darshan to the last possible minute. A dais had been built at the airport, and Master held Satsang right at the airport grounds for 12,000 of His grief-stricken children just before boarding the plane to the West. He was accompanied from India by B.S. Gyani Ti, Harcharan Singh, and Bhalla Sahib, and will be joined later by Bibi Hardevi and Mohan.

The Great Master is now in Europe, and is expected to arrive in the United States at Dulles Airport, Washington, D.C., sometime on Tuesday, 19^th September. The exact time of arrival is not known as yet, and anyone wishing to meet Him as He arrives should check with Mr. T.S. Khanna, 11404 Lakin Place, Oakton, Va. 22124 (Tel. 703/385-9699) for exact information before going to the airport.
