“ Sadananda Yogi ”, a tall man, not very old looking was living in a small lodge, “ Raghavendra Lodge ”, in a very small room 6’ X 12’ in Kurnool Town, when Patriji along with other two masters Ramachenna Reddy and Venkataratnam, visited him for the first time on January 1st, year 1981. Swamiji looked at them, and after a while, spoke : “ You will obtain nothing but BrahmaJnana here. ” The students told him
: “Swamiji ! We want only that.” Sadananda Yogi was satisfied with the answer and went on reciting many wonderful spiritual things in Arabic and Telugu. The ardent students were mesmerized. After about 15 to 20 minutes, Sadananda Yogi told, “ Come tomorrow morning. I will initiate you into meditation ”. That’s how Patriji met “ Sadananda Yogi ”, he also called him “ Kurnool Swamiji ”.
Patriji would be in Kurnool every month for about 7 to 8 days only. And in those few days, he would spend much time every day with “ Swamiji ”. Patriji would bring cigarettes / snacks / tea / lunch to him. Sometimes, when Patriji was in Camp, and Swarnamala Patri would arrange to send lunch.
