The birthday of Priya Nath comes on October 7, 1988 and there is the familiar sight of Shri Nathji embracing Priya Nath and patting him repeatedly on his back, and saying in a sing-song voice, which he had been using ever since the days of Priya Nath’s childhood–singing out “you” as “you-ooo!”“A Happy, happy birthday to you!The October 7 celebrations are quiet and solemn. Shri Nathji remains in bed in his golden yellow turban, while a recitation of “Atma Vijay” is carried out in the big room by Ramesh Sharma, and Shri Nathji’s latest ghazals played on tape for the devotees assembled there.
