Kamala is from Nizamabad. She has come to be part of the police protection force for the event along with 250 others from her district. It’s a large gathering and so thousands of police are stationed here for ensuring security. She says she is extremely happy to be part of this because it’s conducted in the guidance of Swamiji. She says she has never seen Swamiji in person and it was very exciting to see him. She did not think Swamiji would be moving along with everyone so freely and is so down to earth when she heard him converse with one of her senior officers. She has a five-year-old son. He is being looked after by her father-in-law and husband.
