    From Gordon Paterson

    Michael. . . been meaning to write to you (and comment) on the many interesting subjects that you raise in your postings. As most of them (the subjects) had been deep and removed from my area of experience, I never was able to collect all the requirements for a lucid response to them. But now I'm beckoned to try, once again, simply because you have raised the name of my Guru and actually was communicating with Him. How wonderful!To refresh your memory, I was so privileged to spend time, on two occasions at his Asramam, and that, in a situation of peril, Sri Ramana brought me down from the summit of Arunachala, at night in a light drizzle. It took me four hours to climb to the top of the mountain in sunny weather, but Bhagavan brought me safely down in only two, and in inclement weather yet. As a personal favor, would you kindly offer Him (at your next get together) a Namaskaram from me---a highly devoted Sadhaka, and beg Him for His Blessing. Thanks. That would be so very much appreciated, Michael!As you know, I have little training in Yoga and can only marvel at some of the experiences you have had. Actually, I would identify as being interested in Advaitic Metaphysics, in the Vedantic and Buddhic Traditions. Must go.Nirguna

    Gordon... Thanks for your kind and gracious response. It may be that even though I had some communication with the authority who was known as Ramana Maharshi, still your relationship with him may be deeper and more connective. Hence, I am surprised at your request.

    When you are close to someone and when someone great feels protective of you, there occurs sometimes, a situation where you are not objective enough to that person to understand his attitude with others.

    Your requested that I kindly offer Him a Namaskaram from you---a highly devoted Sadhaka, and beg Him for His Blessing can hardly be related by me, because in his presence, silence happens and speech vanishes like darkness before the sunlight. Yes, I had a few events where I was in his presence or where he suddenly appeared but it is not that I can go looking for him or that I could find him.

    The meetings happen because of his wish. I have absolutely no control over it. I may alert you that when I first heard of him, it was in Trinidad around 1972. A few of the early books were available. At the time, I knew a teenager who went to India to see him. I tried to contact him astrally at that time but it was no possible because he was surrounded by many Indians who seems to think that their function was to be his bodyguards. This happened on the astral side. It was many years after that I met him astrally, when for some reason, he wanted to say something to me.

    However, he sent a communication stating that your request will be granted but still when I am in his presence, I cannot bring up any subject which he does not have in mind. And this is due to his speech restriction powers.
