Greetings to my faithful chela. He is accepted even from now, so that he may consider himself as an accepted chela of mine. Upasika has all the instructions. Let my chela Rama B. Yogi follow the instructions he will receive from her. I bless you, son.

NOTES:

Context and background

Mr. Jinarajadasa provided this background information:

Received probably on September 28, 1881, when he saw a materialization of his Master at Crow’s Nest.

“Ramaswami” was his ordinary name, Iyer being the Brahminical caste ending. He had a secret name given to him at his “thread ceremony” which was Rama Bhadra, and it is by this sacred name he is here addressed as Rama B.[2]

This date, September 28, must be incorrect, since he gave more details about this letter in his description of Letter 34:

Received on December 28, 1881, at Crow’s Nest, Bombay, the Master Himself then appearing. There was also then a letter to S. Ramaswamier, Letter 48 in this volume. This is the last letter of Master M. which is not in His later and better known script.[3]

Physical description of letter

Mr. Jinarajadasa wrote of the Ramaswamier letters:

I do not know where the original letters are now. He died in 1893, devoted as ever to his Master and the T.S..[4]

Publication history

Mr. Jinarajadasa wrote of the Ramaswamier letters:

In December, 1894, a son of his published the letters, with a facsimile of one of them, in an attack on the T.S. , which bore the title, "Isis Further Unveiled." I reprint the letters from this pamphlet.[5]
