ONE OF LARRY KING'S MOST MEMORABLE INTERVIEWS WAS WITH SWAMI SATCHINANANDA

9/16/2019

 
It's been estimated that American Broadcaster Larry King has interviewed 50,000 individuals on his radio and television programs. When asked who were some of his most memorable guests, on Larry King's very short list was Vedic teacher Swami Satchidananda. "There was a wonderful peace about him," King said. The swami talked to King about worry saying: "Why worry? Why get excited about anything? You wake up in the morning and it may be cloudy or it may be raining. Did you deserve it? Did it come from you? No. So it was a gift. Just thank yourself for the gift and have a wonderful day."


The broadcaster decided to test his "why worry" approach with this challenge. "Ok, Swami, let's say I tell you that I'm going to take you to the airport tomorrow. You tell me the time of your flight and we agree on the time to meet. 'Don't worry,' I say, 'I'll be there.' But I don't show up. You miss your flight. Then, I call you up to apologize. You're fuming -" With that word, Swami Satchinananda interrupted King: "No, I'm not fuming." King asked why he wasn't upset, agitated over missing the flight. "Because I'm concerned about my friend Larry. How is my friend Larry? He didn't come to the appointed time. So, as soon as the phone rings and i can hear your voice, before you can even say i'm sorry, I'm going to say 'How are you, my friend?' Is everything OK? There will alwasy be another airplane. But I am happy that my friend Larry is OK." Then he taught Larry King about the importance of "owning" moments in positive, affirming ways.
