(Sujata's visit to Mother.)

A disciple in America had sent a cartoon published in an

 American newspaper showing Bangladesh ("East Pakistan")

 bloody and gored by the horns of a furious Indian "sacred

 cow," equipped with Soviet weapons. When the drawing was

shown to Mother by Sujata, she angrily rejected it, sweeping it

off her knees: "Take it away." Then, a few moments later, she

asked for the drawing back, took a pen and wrote across the

 drawing: "This is disgustingly untrue," the way one performs

 an occult act to destroy or neutralize something.
