1988 Letter to Chitrabhanu

Dear Gurudev:
Even though you personally would not remember meeting me, since I have only been physically in your presence twice, I do remember joyfully being around you. Your teachings have made a profound meaning in my life and the lives of others. I first heard about you many years ago from Mitra, who was lecturing for a retreat on the chakra meditations. I was already doing a mantra meditation without full realization of what I was doing. After the weekend retreat, I studied the tapes on the meditations. After your books came out, I studied your books. Before this, I was doing lectures in Michigan for a program called Do Something Different, a program which accentuated life from a metaphysical approach. A high school where I lectured for one night then asked me to do a series of classes on ESP Development. I accepted and that is when I started teaching from the direct experience of meditation to the full information from your books. Many students come back and forth in my life to say how much they have gained from your teachings.
I have taught small groups of students for the past nine years from your books. We also hold a regularly-scheduled once-a-month meeting for intensive meditation where we spend 20 minutes on each chakra.
The reason I write to you at this time is because I have heard that you will be in Michigan on July 8, 9, and 10, 1988. One of the students who ordered the books for this last class mentioned this to me. There are about 50 to 70 students who would be so honored if you could take time from your very busy schedule to meet with them for a couple of hours one of those days when you will be in Michigan. They wait so anxiously to hear from you as so do I.
When I went to India two years ago, I realized that I really wanted an Indian name or spiritual name. I would be so honored if you would feel comfortable in giving me a spiritual name. I don't want this to sound forward or bold on my part, but I do not know how else to ask.
I am thanking you in advance for all that you have brought into the universe at thie time.
