When the Time Comes
Apart from my guru, Dada Chandranath was the biggest influence in my life. I first met him in Calcutta in the late seventies where he was a senior member of Anandamurti’s inner circle but I only got to know him well when I moved back to India in the early nineties and started visiting him regularly. By then he was a realized sage who had a unique ability to communicate the most profound spiritual ideas in simple, easily intelligible language. He was also the best example I had ever seen of perfection in action. I never passed a single moment in his company when he wasn’t completely present and I never saw him treat any two human beings differently: the same attention, the same compassion, the same respect, whether it was a taxi driver or a spiritual dignitary who had come to visit him. The first time I went to see him after the book came out, he grabbed my hand with a huge smile and said, “Devashish, your book has made me miserable.” He had been enjoying a peaceful old age in relative obscurity but once the book was published he had a steady stream of visitors from all over the world that continued until he passed away in full consciousness a dozen years later. If you read the book you’ll see why.
