What a coincidence sister... I am also posting these reminiscences from the same book. Yes, Ashotosh Mitra was Swami Trigunatitananda's brother and had also taken sannaya. His monastic name was Swami Satyakamananda. A****osh served Maa for almost 13 years.
Jai Maa...

Dear Brother Satwik,

My home computer has been "down" for several weeks.
So I hurriedly made the previous post last night while under a time limit at the library. After I slept on the matter, it occurred to me that we were quoting from the same book!! Brother Ankur recently sent me this book from India and I have been "skipping around" in reading the various authors. This book is simply a treasure!!!! It is wonderful that you are sharing the stories here.

Your Sister,
Rosemary
