Editor’s Note: To see the context of this letter, go here, here and here. The challenge was first proposed by Ashwini himself, and the Dhyan foundation refused to honor the terms of the initial challenge.

Your enlightened Holiness,
It is a long time since we had any news from you and your Dhyan Foundation. I have been also very busy going around the hot and dusty parts of North India braving the scorching heat as I feel that it is very important to cultivate scientific temper among my own people first. Since I have been accused by you of not knowing how to address a YOGI and was advised to consult my parents or some other elders, I have done so. Of course I have contacted my parents through a séance as my mother passed away in 1995 and my father in 2006! To atone for my past sins of addressing an enlightened soul like you as an ordinary human being I have decided to address you in the future as H.H.Sri Sri Aswiniji Maharaj. I hope that you will be kind enough to pardon me for the sins I have committed by calling you as Ashwini. But, perhaps if you could let me have your real name, it would be better. You might have perhaps forgotten it during your sojourn in the Himalayas doing tapasya!
