One day at my school in Ranchi, I was sitting with the young boys when I saw someone coming toward us, from behind the boys, and wondered who it was. Then I saw it was Jesus; his feet were not touching the ground as he approached. He came very close to us and then vanished.

A few years later, in Boston, I again saw Jesus. I was meditating and deeply praying to God because I felt that for three days I had forgotten Him —I had been so engrossed in fulfilling the responsibilities He had given to me. I told the Lord: “I am going to walk out of this work!” The right attitude is to love God and Love His work because of Him. Those who do missionary service, but never make the effort to meditate or commune with God, never find Him. Because I felt that the activities of my ministry had taken me away from God, I prayed, “Lord, I will go away. I will not remain in America and do Your work unless I know You are with me.” Then a Voice came through the ether like a beam of light: “What do you want? You cannot go.” Many times in my life God has thus prevented me from carrying out my desire to run away from my duties to this cause, to be only with Him. I replied to the Divine Voice: “Let me see, on a sea of gold, Krishna and Jesus and their disciples.” Even as I made this inward request, I saw those divine ones coming toward me! “It is a hallucination,” I thought. “If the person meditating with me sees this also, then I shall believe.” Instantly my companion exclaimed aloud: “Oh, I see Christ and Krishna!” Then I rationalized, “This is thought transference.” I was doubting and praying to God to help my unbelief when the Voice said: “When I leave, the room will become filled with the fragrance of the lotus, and whoever comes shall notice it.” As the vision vanished, the whole room became permeated with a marvellous lotus essence. Others entering the room even hours later noted the aroma. I could doubt no longer.

Mahavatar Babaji ordained that I come to America to interpret the teachings of Christ for the purpose of showing their parallelism with the yoga teachings of India’s Lord Krishna. In the immortal truths expressed by these two avatars lies the answer of the ages. That is why Babaji, who is in divine communion with Christ, gave me the special dispensation of carrying this message to the West.

So long as breath will be in the body, I will try to bring East and West together to fulfil the purpose for which Christ came on earth in an Oriental body. His soul in the West, his body in the East; bringing soul and body together unites East and West.
