Surendranath Jauhar's Correspondence with The Mother

18 May 1967

Gracious Mother,

J stayed out of the Delhi Ashram perhaps for about eight months with one H, his Divine Collaborator as he always calls him. He was living there under great pressure and in most dirty conditions. He was badly sick and reduced by 18 lbs.

I had a dream and I went to him and brought him back to the Ashram on 1st January 1967. He was so happy. He accepted it as a miracle and grace. He said that he did not have courage to come to us as he was thinking that we had given him up for good and will not accept him back.

Mother, he is mad after politics, which of course he does not accept. He is conducting a "Poorna Swaraj Movement", working very hard, begging for funds, etc. In spite of all their serious efforts, they are unable to meet even their own living expenses. Of course J is now living with us as your child without any payment. But someone is also supporting him with Rs. 100/- per month for his personal expenses.

Praying for your kind grace,

Your child.

I am glad you are feeding the poor man—often I felt sorry for his miserable condition.

Love and blessings
