My lecture at the yoga center in Copenhagen was scheduled for Sunday. On Saturday however I had another appointment. One of the women who had come for an individual session with me had been very happy and had invited me for Saturday evening. She and others were organizing a non-smoking disco for Saturday evening and she wanted to invite me as guest there.
I did not really know what would expect me there but I was open to experience everything and go anywhere where I might meet some nice people. She told me that there would be a lot of spiritual people and so I was happy to accept the invitation. I knew however that my hosts would not be there on Saturday evening and so I told her that she would need to pick me up, as I had no orientation in Copenhagen and did not know how to get there. Her reply was that she would be busy with the preparations but that she would send someone to pick me up.
This someone was a woman who phoned me on Saturday to tell me that she would pick me up. As the family was not at home and I was alone in the house, I had not cooked on that day and answered that I would like to go out somewhere to eat something. It would be easier than cooking for only one person. This is how she came to pick me up and together we went to a nice vegetarian restaurant.
When our bellies were filled, she took me to the disco. I had only heard about discos from the people with whom I had talked about nightlife and fun in Europe and so I was curious to get to know how it was like to really visit a disco. Of course it was a non-smoking disco, so I am sure that was more pleasant than any other one. I actually really enjoyed my time there.
There was a room where the music was and where people were dancing. It was full of people, a lot of them young but of mixed ages and both genders. There were chairs and tables at the side of the room where you could sit down and first of all the woman and I sat down and I had a bit time to take the atmosphere in. People seemed very happy, enjoying the music and just having fun.
With the yellow robe I was wearing and with my wooden shoes, I was obviously an exotic appearance and soon became the center of attraction for a lot of people. Many of them were very interested to talk to me and whenever they saw me free without anyone else, they sat down next to me to have a chat. I was open to talk to anybody and so I spent the evening talking about India, yoga, what I did at the disco and why I was in Copenhagen. I obviously mentioned the lecture which I would have on Sunday and told them they could come if they were interested. From time to time someone would invite me to dance with them and I went to the dance floor for a song or two.
I had a good time and enjoyed. Later in the night I felt tired, maybe at about two or three o’clock and so I asked the woman with whom I had come to bring me back home. I don’t have a very good sense of orientation and even though I knew the apartment was somewhere in walking distance, I would not have reached there on my own. She had offered before that she would bring me back whenever I felt like it and so she did. It had been a really nice evening.

It sounds like you had a really fun time at the disco. It must have been very different to the celebrations you are used to back in India. Did you enjoy the music? I’m sure all the people there were very interested and honoured to have you there.
