Entering the Giving Coat at the beginning of a Darshan occasion

A devotee offers testimony about a Darshan occasion in November
1988:

MARY WALTRICH: Beloved Adi Da sat before us, very still with Force and Power. He was Love displayed before us, Giving to us, penetrating us with His Transmission that was subtle, invisible, yet with a power that I could not understand but only feel. I was no longer my “own”. I was His. And He is me. And I felt that nothing has ever touched my heart as it was touched in His Company.

Beloved Adi Da looked Submitted in Love, utterly vulnerable, without mind, completely given over. Then He looked directly at the Prasad, with such Love, and He collected water from a bowl nearby in His cupped hands, then opened His hands and let the water fall onto the Prasad. He did this repeatedly, Blessing the Prasad. Full of Siddhi and Sweetness, He collected the large wooden bowl of Prasad and held it in the curve of His arm, to the side of His chest. With an inviting wave of His hand, He motioned the Ruchiradamas to come to Him, then came all the women, then the men, and finally the children.
