R5. 2023-0928 WhatsApp message from Gauri Mehrani-Mylany to CCT: "We then went higher to Rishikesh l believe and danced in the snow. We returned the same day back to Delhi and went directly to the cinema where Shri Mataji met us all. I think we were only 45 to 50 yogis, not sure. The film was absolutely amazing, especially watching it with the Adi Shakti. We were all so cleansed and absorbed the entire film so intensely. It was the uncut version and l believe in February 1983 had only been shown in two cinemas in Delhi. It was 3 hrs 11 mins. This was the original version of the film. Shri Mataji spoke afterwards and commented that Ben Kingsley acted Gandhi extremely well, but at the same time said that Gandhi was actually much more right sided than the film indicated. It was for all of us present an amazing inspiration and we were all full of joy and gratitude that we were chosen to be with Shri Mataji on this most auspicious evening."
