I periodically refer to those books, although most of it is now almost memorized.
He introduced me to Savarkar (methodically - have been with Savarkar since infance through his poems sung to me by my mother).
His words and books guide(d) me on sānkhya and yoga cogently.
Yet when sādhanā falls short or when mind is not stable enough, it helps to talk to an accomplished siddha in person to resolve doubts
I last met him 8 years ago. Last time, I only went there to see him and do a sāshTānga danDavata to him. Nothing to talk. He was very optimistic about Modi then. 😊
Just like my sadguru, physical body doesn’t matter. But I was young (10-12) when my guru passed away. So it didn’t really strike me then. I understand it now
I hope he attained kaivalya pada. May that purusha be free. Farewell to his prakruti. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😔😔😔😔
