One of the most influential towns in ancient India, on this day in Bhagalpur, over 270,000 people gathered on the outskirts of the city to hear Prem Rawat speak about peace. Upon landing, the co-pilot ventured in to the town for some Chai, only to discover that not a single place was open. Everyone had closed shop to attend the event. Afterwards, the fencing was pushed over, and the crowd dispersed in the direction of the helipad, to watch Prem Rawat depart. Local officials questioned how an event of this magnitude could be so orderly and peaceful.
