Mr Ramesh Kasturi, first of all, had the blessing of being born as the grandson of Swami's biographer, the great Prof N Kasturi. Swami entered and became the head of the Kasturi family when He arranged and performed the marriage of his mother Padma Kasturi. Being born into such a blessed family ensured, as he puts it, he doesn't even know a world without Swami. As he grew up, Swami conferred on him another unique benediction. He became one of the first students of the Veda Patashala set up by Swami in the 1960s.

In this conversation recorded in 2007, the Late Mr Ramesh Kasturi fondly recollects episodes he heard from his grandfather on how Bhagawan revealed His divinity to him, and to the world at large through him.
