research on Sri Ramanuja. I was attempting this, and I had consulted an astrologer whether I would make good headway in my research on Sri Ramanuja. I then asked him how this prediction could come true when I couldn't find anybody even to teach me the Sri Bhashya! 'Surrender to Sri Ramanuja'-he said! I took him at his word. I quietly stood up and prayed to Sri Ramanuja to help me in the work. That surrender had immediate effect. It was my very first experience of surrender to a man, and that too to one who had lived about 900 years ago! He began to operate immediately, and in such a way, I will tell you! I wrote my first paper on Sri Ramanuja after 10 months of research work. A great savant read it and said "What it took me 20 years to learn, you have grasped in 10 months"-and he added the very important sentence "You have the Grace of Sri Ramanuja".
Now you see, this was a natural contact with such a great Seer. Such surrender to a person we have not even seen is perfectly possible. I could say nothing is impossible if you can devote yourself to great rishis of yore by true surrender.
Later I went on to several other things and on to other great Saints of South India to get their guidance.
Finally in 1954 December, at a most important moment, at a crucial moment in my life, I came across a book "Reality at Dawn" by Shri Ram Chandra, who is here, a great personality. I found in that book a deep and profound Spirituality and a willingness to experiment. Unlike the other books and Philosophies, here was one that was not burdened and labouring under dogma and other things. It was full of Spirituality of the highest order.
The system of Sri Ramchandra's Rajayoga which it expounded was discovered, or rather re-discovered, by Shri Ram Chandraji of Fatehgarh. It is due to his great Master Shri Ram Chandraji of Fatehgarh that he (Shri Ram Chandraji of Shahjahanpur) has been made to develop and carry out a forgotten technique of Transmission. This is a technique of awakening in each individual the spiritual force that is in him, by transmitting into his body that highest Ultimate force of the Divine. That was my first contact with this unique system, and with Shri Ram Chandraji, my Master.
