'His talk, behaviour and everything about him are as though he is in 
constant contact with his Gurudev. That is a feature which has 
surprised many of us closely moving with him. Maharshi Bala 
Brahmachari always acts as the messiah between his "Gurudev" and his 
own disciples. He modestly claims to be only the conduit pipe 
conveying the Gurudeva's blessing on to his devotees in Kerala, or to 
use his own expression, he is only the "bulb through which the 
spiritual electrical current from Gurudev shines in radiating light 
on all".' 10
