You may have trouble
with Kanchi.

:00:04
- Kanchi ? She'd never dare.
- [ Monks Chanting ]

:00:08
After all, he is a prince,
and she is what she is.

:00:13
Still, I expect she knows the story
of the prince and the beggar maid.

:00:17
We're at 40, 41 , 42,
:00:20
43, 44, 45, 46,
:00:24
4 7, 48, 49--
:00:27
When the general
gave us the deeds,

:00:29
our boundary line was to be
500 yards around the building.

:00:32
Right.
:00:34
- So the holy man
is living on our ground.
- He was here fîrst.

:00:37
Yes, but, Mr. Dean, I fînd
all these things very distracting.

:00:41
- Distracting ?
- Yes, disturbing.

:00:44
This clear air,
and the wind always blowing.

:00:48
And the mountain, and the holy man
sitting there day in, day out.

:00:52
And the people
coming to see him.

:00:54
They climb the path
by the house,

:00:57
and they stop and sit
and stare at us.

:00:59
- What do you want to do ?
- Ask the general to ask
the holy man to move.

:01:03
- It wouldn't be polite.
- I don't suppose the general
even knows he's there.

:01:07
Oh, yes he does. That old man
worries him quite a bit,

:01:10
particularly when he's
in the middle of his dinner...

:01:13
or when he's trying on
a new coat from London.

:01:16
- Why ?
- I suppose he feels
he ought to do likewise.

:01:19
And he wouldn't turn h/m out ?
:01:21
It'd be a bit awkward for the general
to turn out his own uncle.

:01:25
His uncle ?
:01:28
General Sir Krishna Rai,
KCVO, KCSI, CMG.

:01:31
He has several
foreign decorations too.

:01:34
He lent our general
the money to buy this place.

:01:38
I've never heard h/m talk.
They say he speaks perfect Engl/sh.

:01:41
Several other
European languages too.

:01:48
Does he never speak at all ?
:01:50
I've never heard him.
:01:52
When does he eat or sleep ?
:01:54
No one knows. He's always
in his place under the tree.

:01:57
People come miles to see him.
