I am able to find out " GuruKrupa Vilasam " from Sri. Narayanaswamy Mama's

house at Mylapore. I am trying to locate " Dialogues with the Guru " . It will

be most helpful if you could provide details about where " Sandhyavandanam "

(by PujyaSri JagadGuru Sri Abhinava Vidya Theertha Swamigal) will be

available. I hope you will be able to help me

I totally agree dear Shangaranarayan, a true and adept Master will not

spoonfeed his shishya. Just by his mere vision he would be helping his

disciple progress under his guidance. At every stage the disciple would

experience the transcendance to higher planes of reality with the grace of

his Guru. More things are learnt jus by mere observance of SriGuru.

Om GurumUrthyai namah!
