3 March 2010 : Much to the surprise of the Hosur devotees, the car carrying His Divine Holiness arrived in the afternoon at the quiet and secluded aadheenam in Hosur. The devotees were too terrorised to venture in any way towards the Sanyasis under the given circumstances. They waited for instructions and they watched in disbelief their beloved Guru in their own Aadheenam! They watched everything that followed, in dead silence. They didn’t know whether to offer to cook food or ask if any help was required. They concluded that the Sanyasis would ask for help if required.
The Sanyasis, after moving His Divine Holiness into His quarters and making Him comfortable, requested a couple of devotees to prepare food. They put their mobile phone to charge, sorted out a few of their belongings, and rested a bit. They knew they had to leave as soon as possible. They wanted to be able to give a few hours of rest to His Divine Holiness as well as to themselves and the devices they were carrying.
At around 8.30 pm, news reached them that a center run by a devotee was attacked in Hosur. But the devotees in the Hosur Aadheenam were very sure that there would be no attack in the Hosur Aadheenam which was secluded and not familiar to the people as yet. It was decided that they would spend the night there. They spent the night in Hosur, with the Sanyasis taking turns to keep awake and alert.
The next day morning, the Sanyasis decided to move to a new location even though they were not attacked in Hosur. They felt it was not safe to remain in one location for more than 24 hours. They decided to move to Eambalam Aadheenam in Pondicherry, where by then, the police had sent out everyone from the Aadheenam telling them that it was not safe to be there.
They got ready, assembled their things and had food. Then, they requested His Divine Holiness to have something to eat before they went on to the road again.
