Dear Friend Amiya,
Loving Jai Baba. Your letter of 15th June was received and news was noted by us. You do not have to worry at all about Shri Gilbert. He cannot participate in Baba's Sahavas because in that program only those lovers have been invited who are very close to Baba in His love. If Shri Gilbert had a genuine feeling for Baba then he would have replied to your letter.
If you want to write to him a letter, tell him 1 that he should first make contact with the Baba group in France. Please do not give him any idea about Baba sahavas and participation in that Sahavas. If he develops a genuine desire then he should first meet the Baba group in France, and he would ask you about their address in France, and then we will let you know about the Baba group in France, and then you can communicate that address to him.
Jai Baba
Yours affectionately,
Nana Kher
1. Hazra met Gilbert Guglielmo at a Baba mela in Dehra Dun. He was a disciple of Shivananda, and had been in the Himalayas (Rishikesh) at the Shivananda ashram. He was French. Gilbert came to Jabalpur and spent a few days with Hazra and Gauri at Bai Ka Bagicha (their home). He was quite austere, sleeping on the floor, taking limited vegetarian diet, and so forth. The Hazras were impressed. Hazra suggested that he would try to see if Baba would permit darshan at Pune for him. He was quite overjoyed, and began weeping. When the letter came that Baba was not permitting darshan at the time, Gilbert was quite depressed and left India, and the Hazras never heard from him again.
