Thanks for sharing them here! Count me in as someone who experiences Brahmananda Saraswati constantly. I've had a personal relationship with Him for ~25 years now, and it is the most grounded, honest and uncompromising relationship of my life. There is just no escaping His living truth, His eternal essence, His Divine personality.
After a long period doing TM and praying a lot to Guru Dev, in 1980 I took the Siddhis course and afterwards moved to Santa Barbara. During long soothing and somewhat lonely bike rides along the lemon and avocado groves, I began to see Guru Dev's head and shoulders in the center of my sight, my "third eye". I had this experience for awhile. In a few years my experience progressed to seeing Him in full form whenever I would summon him to help me. Then it culminated in a week I spent in His constant presence, flooded with His bliss. These days it is just any part of Him that I wish to experience. We are pretty close at this point, though He does what He does and I muddle along here on earth, doing what I do. I've told this chronology here before. Not for those who enjoy doubting it, or to create a false impression of myself. But rather because there are always those who appreciate reading the experience, just as I have appreciated reading yours, and to let all who wish to, know that Guru Dev is always available to any who wish for Him to be. The asking must be sincere and focused, and then He comes.:-)
