I don't know why. Anyway, let me again write one or two of the thoughts I tried to post there. <strong>Swami Atmasthananda Ji</strong> is indeed a kind soul, a compassionate <em>sadhu</em>. I have had the good fortune of having his <em>darshan</em> and talking with him too on a few occasions, and receving replies to my mails to him on other occasions. After my first meeting with him in 1993 at New Delhi when along with some advice, he commented on my name as being a good one, my regard for him increased when I saw him garlanding and making pranam to Revered <strong>Bhuteshananda Ji</strong> at Belur Math with simple devotion. Indeed, I found refuge at the Holy Feet of <strong>Bhuteshananda Ji</strong> thanks to Atmasthananda Ji only. Even last year in response to a letter, he bolstered my faith in the <em>Guru</em> and also told me to pray to Holy Mother and Sri Ramakrishna who will grant me whatever I wish, he wrote. Just sharing some thoughts. With regards, <strong>Ankur</strong> Guwahati, Assam, India Respected Maharaj,

"Ahetuki kripa" is what has always been the characteristic trait of Ramakrishna Math...isnt it the most "ahetuki kripa" that you are in net to bless us with such enlightenments?. If you could post some more beautiful stories about Him,we all would be more than blessed. Satakoti Pranams. Respected Maharajji,

Second, sorry that you 'missed the point'. One of The traditions in India, while worshipping the GOD in the form of SHIVA, is to pour milk on SHIVA's symbol. Its like 'feeding' SHIVA Himself. The symbol is made of stone. The reference is to that. The point is "why dont you feed milk to the poor children?" Hope this is clear now. Once again thanks to you May peace be to you!

Maharaj, Sadar pranam. A thought of great man and timly action works wonder. You your self are an example of such noble deeds. You your self are very kind hearted. I recollect your spontaneous sanction 25 years ago to provide free dylasis to Ward nurse Ambolis husband at Sewa Pratishthan. Once Revd. Atmasthananda Jee Maharaj was at Sri Lanka on Buddha Purnima day, it slipped our memory that today is Maharaj's birthday. That evening Rashida bahan phoned from Bhawnagar and she said, today is Maharaj's birthday and I want to make pranam to him. Then we all hurridly rushed to Maharaj's room with flowers. Maharaj is full of joy. He said' Nandu what special today' go and see how many children are born at Sewa Prathishthan. Revd. Maharaj,

It has been more than a couple of years now and time has gone roolled a full circle. I believe the children today are more blessed to continue to fall in a queue, waiting for his/her turn for a glass of milk virtually being poured out by Thakur himself, as if. Pranam Maharaj,
