Kenon is a short, stocky man from Bangalore who is immersed in bhava seemingly every Sunday. He often is in Nagaraj bhava, rolling around on the ground, or the powerful bhava of Hanuman or Parashurama. His bhava is very physical, sometimes fierce, and often lighthearted. He comes to the ashram wearing immaculately clean and pressed kurta shirt and pants, but within a few minutes of going into trance, his clothes become dirty and he is covered in perspiration. In ordinary consciousness, he is an extremely sweet and mild man.

Kenon, Bangalore

Some of the devotees who used to come to the ashram brought us here. My wife was put into trance by Swamiji and slowly she got cured of some black magic that had been done on her.

I used to wonder, “What is this dancing?” I did not understand what the strange behavior was. Then after about four or five years, I also started getting Swamiji upon me. Then I understood and I enjoyed it.

When I sit for meditation, within five to ten minutes my head starts swaying. However much I try to control it, I cannot. I am aware of that for about five minutes, and then I go into deep trance where I am not aware. During trance I can see and recognize people, but I cannot talk. When I am in that condition, there is no relation between me and any person. I don’t relate to anyone in any way, whether brother or wife. I can hear what all is being said, and I can see what all is happening, but I cannot talk. Only when I come out of that trance am I aware of what is around me.

My trance depends upon the bhajan. If the bhajan is going on well, then whoever is on my body at that time enjoys it a lot. I am not aware of myself. I might feel like going and climbing a coconut tree. It’s not in my control at all.

Every Sunday, I cannot stay at home. I am forced to come to the ashram. Even if I am involved in some work, or whatever I may be doing, my mind is drawn to the ashram all the time. I have to come here. There is no way I can escape.
