Here, under the personal supervision and tutelage of his spiritual guide and master, Alok Ranjan rapidly blossomed and grew to become a perfect GURU, brilliant and adept in the yogic philosophy and discipline applied to the development of the mind, body and soul. Notably, his holiness never came to this part of the world and he spent his divine moments mostly in the holy caves of Gangotri and Gomukh.
