UG Krishnamurti Ends Satsang Early to Assist Mahesh Bhatt in Finding WhiskeyPreviousNext

In the 1980s, guru UG Krishnamurti unexpectedly ended a satsang in Bengaluru to help filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt find a bottle of Black Label whiskey, which the hotel had failed to provide. Bhatt, distracted by his craving, admitted his preoccupation during the session. Krishnamurti, often called the 'anti-guru,' responded with amusement and took responsibility for securing the scotch. Despite efforts, including contacting a Member of Parliament's brother, the search was unsuccessful, leading to the early conclusion of the gathering.
