It began at 6 o'clock, and there were ... priests sitting on the floor of the Temple - here on the Adyar grounds - over in one section, while across the floor space sat three musicians. The Temple is small, the floor space being about the size of a good sized living room with a roof over it and four rows of pillars from front to back. The sides are all open. I could hear the beat of the drummer and the peculiar wind instrument before I got to the Temple. Before the priests were bowls of flowers, leaves, cocoanuts and various other things and during their chanting which continued for two full hours without a single break, they did various things with these. It is difficult to describe it, but it was very interesting. You can imagine it must have been when some of us sat there for the full two hours, on grass mats on the floor.

It began with "puja" or prayers in the Hindu Temple. As you know, the 60th birthday is of great importance in Indian life, for they feel that you are then entering on the most important period of your life, the period for spiritual adjustment and meditation, etc. And the Hindu religion has a very special ceremony for its celebration... It began at 6 o'clock, and there were ... priests sitting on the floor of the Temple - here on the Adyar grounds - over in one section, while across the floor space sat three musicians. The Temple is small, the floor space being about the size of a good sized living room with a roof over it and four rows of pillars from front to back. The sides are all open. I could hear the beat of the drummer and the peculiar wind instrument before I got to the Temple. Before the priests were bowls of flowers, leaves, cocoanuts and various other things and during their chanting which continued for two full hours without a single break, they did various things with these. It is difficult to describe it, but it was very interesting. You can imagine it must have been when some of us sat there for the full two hours, on grass mats on the floor. When Dr. and Mrs. Arundale came they were both garlanded with huge garlands made of yellow chrysanthemums.</div></td><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>Perhaps it would be nice to describe Dr. Arundale's 60th birthday celebration on December 1st [1938].

This latter is a length of cloth which the boy ties around his hips. At the school they had arranged a canopy of straw mats, with a seat covered with a bright India print, cushions, etc. where they sat. Dr. Arundale gave the gifts to most of the children and when he "gave out", [[Rukmini Devi Arundale|Rukmini]] gave them; there were about 500 or more including the teachers, and with each gift he gave a smile or, to the Boy Scouts, their salute. Then to the printing establishment, where every worker got a dhoti and the children of all of them got a package of Indian "sweets". At the power house the employees had written on the ground with flower petals "Happy Birthday". Some of the workers met under the Banyan tree to receive their gifts; all of our servant boys at Leadbeater Chambers brought their children to get sweets, and last we went to Besant Memorial School where an entertainment was arranged and where some of us were invited for lunch.The children here did not receive gifts as they are from well to do families and do not need them. Altogether I think there were from 1200 to 1500 people to whom he gave things. And to the rest of us he wrote a lovely little personal birthday note.
