When money is given, take it with both hands, but dont flatter, cheat, steal or posture for money. Baba was just aloof, that's all.

Ritu-Da's story is originally a comment on my blog "Off to Radhakund" of september 30, 2006. <BR/>I have shifted the story of how Radhananda had the vision of Baba from page 39 to page 24, where it now stands together with Ritu Da's story....advaitadashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11562361400492002096noreply@blogger.com
