After arranging the funeral of his Guru DevJi and turning over, with all due pomp and ceremony, the administration of the Jyotirmutt Trust to Guru Dev's worthy succussor, Shantinand Saraswati, as specified in Guru Dev's hand-written will, Bal Bramhacharya Mahesh followed Guru Dev's instructions to the letter: he went to a cave in the forest of Garwhal, up in the Himalayas.
It has been reported that Bal practiced the mouna yoga. During that time he also mastered the siddha yoga; became a master of meditation in the tradition of Himalayan yogis; cognized the bija-mantras, thus becoming somewhat of a Seer himself! Now Mahesh Yogi's organization makes the Shankaracharya Order look like an ant hill.
