I remember well many of the western devotees who had been to India to be with Baba; they were there at Hilda\'s and later with Joya (now Ma Jaya) and they were something new to me. I had never felt such love, or sometimes I feel, any love, until I met them. I am forever grateful to them for opening my heart and showing me a new possibility of living, which I am only now making an effort to live. Their memory is revered - Kali Das | nickthabit.com, Wed, 20 Jan 2010 8:58AM

Just returned from a month in Uttarakhand and a brief pilgrimage to the Kainchi Ashram. The vibes are so peaceful there. I sat next to Baba\'s seat and could only imagine the light that must have surrounded the ashram back in the early days. - David casteel, Tue, 3 Jun 2008 6:09AM
Looking to connect with friends from the Palo Alto Ananda Marga ashram ca. 1973. I was a roommate with Nachiketa (aka Steven Richheimer). I never had the honor of Maharajji\'s darshan, but all these wonderful photos and the stories that attend them are an inspiration. What joy! - Fred Fuller, Sun, 20 Jan 2008 10:37AM

I have lots of old pictures from early days in India (mostly from Ganji Sah studio) and will try to send them on when I get back to California. Photo 7 above was actually taken at the Alpert farm in Franklin, NH, in 1974. Love and pranams to all I haven\'t seen for sooo long. - Anjani, Tue, 31 May 2005 11:49AM
Would like to get in touch with Jai Lakshaman das, American disciple of Babaji. We (Me, you, & Ram Dass met at a lecture in Atlanta in 1990, shortly before I went to Badrinath. You were so nice and kind by taking my address & later sending me a spiral bound photo album. i have never forgotten you and Ram Dass\' kindness. - Janardanadas, Sat, 30 Apr 2005 11:48AM
