I am from Mexico and was brought up as a Catholic. I wanted to become a priest. Later I turned to books on Hinduism and Buddhism. I practiced Yoga and meditation. I used to have internal visions then. Once I had the vision of a great soul who alone could give me real knowledge. I went in search of him to Japan, China, Nepal, Hong Kong, Philippines, Tibet and Sri Lanka. Finally, I reached India. After roaming about many religious centres, at last I reached Santhigiri. I met Guru. Lo, that was the form I used to see in my visions! "Do you know me?" asked I. "Do you remember me?" I corrected myself quickly. "Yes, we had been together for a thousand births," Guru replied. I realized how closely he is attached to me. Now I am gifted with Darsanam. There is no other Guru compared to our Guru..
