Website contributors
I want to acknowledge Dey (Didi) Alexander, who designed this website and handled the whole technical side. She is a joy to work with. Every edit goes on the site within minutes and she has her own extensive contacts in Ganeshpuri.
I also want to acknowledge my assistant, Dr. Sharvani Hughson, who worked patiently with me on every detail.
I also want to thank Durgananda and Dr. Isobel Crombie who helped with the research, and Jackie Bos who meticulously copyedited the text. Also, Niranjan Suvarna and Gopalkrishna Shenoy in India, who gave valuable input, including photographs, and feedback, especially about Bhagavan Nityananda’s direct disciples.
And to Sri Devi Ma for her ever-present inspiration.
We would also like to thank everyone else who has contributed to this site, and acknowledge the sources of various photographs and videos we have used.
