Swami talked about Ramakrishna (19th-century Indian avatar of Godhead, sometime transvestite and coquette) and Girish Ghosh (poet and drinker). They once had a competition to find out which of them knew the bigger number of risqué words. (It was amusing to hear this corny French adjective pop up out of Swami’s vocabulary.) Afer they had both said all the risqué words they knew. Girish bowed down and told Ramakrishna. “You are my guru in this also.”
