 Dense is the veil of illusion which drapes the formless Spirit. He who lifts even a fringe of the veil is blessed forever, for then the call of the Divine is faintly heard. As if coming from afar, the voice whispers words of wisdom to the sleeping soul of a man, till finally, the soul awakens from its ageless slumber to become a dawning sun of Spirit shedding a light of love upon all things.

Even as a boy playing along the banks of the River Ganga, Ramsuratkumar caught ear of that alluring voice within the silence of his heart. Before his twentieth year the voice grew to have the strength of a command and it moved him to challenge the varied forces of the veil of illusion. With courage he fought in darkness and he fought in dazzling light; and of the darkness, ' he destroyed the illu-sive forms which shrouded the face of Reality, and of the light, he built within himself the ' temple of the indwell-ing god ', that vehicle of the higher consciousness, the subtle form of the soul. In his middle age, having exactly thirty-four years, there came the shattering of even that final form, so rare, so beautiful, and of such a stable nature. Then he did know the ageless wisdom of the formless Spirit, and he did truly dwell in the sun which shines beyond the illusive forms hanging as the cosmic veil before Reality.

Truman Caylor Wadlington (b. 1950) was one of the earliest Westerners to meet and interact with the great master, Yogi Ramsuratkumar of Tiruvannamalai, South India. He first met the Yogi in 1970, spent many months with him over decades, and wrote the first biographical account of the master’s life, published in 1972: Yogi Ramsuratkumar: Godchild of Tiruvannamalai. Wadlington also studied and worked at the Theosophical Society in Madras at the Yogi’s direction. Pursuing a career in Chinese medicine both in Asia and the U.S., he holds a doctorate in Chinese Medicine, and a nationally certified diplomate in acupuncture. A staff member of the Colorado Chinese Medical University, he teaches and practices in Denver, Colorado, where he lives with his wife, Kathy.
