Well done, thou good and faithful servant; thou has been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things.

New Testament


Bholanath Ghosh hailed from old Benares. Born on 4 December 1923, he was neither very old nor was he an ancient arrival here. He joined the Ashram in 1949, a day before the February Darshan, and expired on 18 July 1989. Even his life in the Ashram was not too long — just over 40 years. Yet the many happy memories he left in so many prevailed on me to include him as one of the “Not so Great”.
