Re: [FairfieldLife] Divindra and Sattyanand
I heard Devindra died many years ago of complications from diabetes and Satyanand died as well, more recently. Perhaps Satyanand had accomplished some sense of *enlightenment*, M had been referring to him as Shri Satyanand. As for the Brahmacharya vows, At one point M discouraged it saying, better to take the vows when really ready as opposed to too soon because it was very serious to brake those vows. He also used to say he spoke from a level of experience, which leads me to question if M ever really took formal Brahmacharya vows or chose not to in light of his own *alleged* experiences.

I recall reading a sad story about Divindrathat he, after being abandon by MMY, ended up being a waiter in an Indian restaurant in London. Is this correct? And where did I read that story? And how about Bramachary Sattyanand?

In the early days, like when he wrote “Beacon Light of the Himalayas”, he referred to himself as Bal Brahmachari Mahesh, which means life celibate. Presumably he was referred to as Brahmachari Mahesh when he was around GD. Whether he was formally initiated into it or not, I don’t know.

Last I remember hearing, he was sent to a cave or to solitary retreat--feeling he would follow some imagined path that Guru Dev and Mahesh had followed--only to end up with little or no instruction on what to do and ending up on the edge of insanity because of it. I seem to remember hearing of him leaving and feeling resentment because of the lack of instruction and/or being so gullible as to believe Mahesh could or would provide the necessary instruction.
