On the Ramnavami day of Samvat 2040 (April 10, 1984), Gurudev (Pandit Sriram Sharma, Acharya) went into complete seclusion. He stopped meeting people. The inspiring physical contact that the sadhaks and Karyakartas (volunteers) were privileged to have with him till then was abruptly broken. All of us were completely benumbed by this unexpected decision. Till then he had been undertaking extensive tours in connection with the Pran - Pratishtha samarohs (ceremony of consecration of idols) in shaktipeethas (temples of Mother Gayatri) established in different parts of India. Suddenly, this 'seclusion' and 'silence'! What will happen next? The Teacher, under whose direct guidance we had been doing 'sadhana' of 'The Advent of Divinity in Mankind' and 'The Descent of Heaven on Earth', was denying us the heavenly joy of his physical proximity. How would we get his guidance? What would we do without his physical proximity? However this uncertainty did not last long; but for whatever time it was there it was really a terrifying experience. Our agony was deep because at that time he didn't disclose any reason for his withdrawal into complete solitude.
