                  Many are called, a few are chosen. Out of
                    the many who received upadesha directly from Yogi Achyuta,
                    or from Swamy Vijayeendra or Swamy Jayatheertha, only a few
                    could serve the cause of the Master. The following who stand
                    out prominently are the ones who had the privilege of the
                    personal contact with Yogi Achyuta. Blessed indeed they are.

                            Shri Mandre Ramakrishnappa came
                          from a poor family background, but devoted to the Lord
                          fully. His obedience and dedication, his exemplary devotion
                          to the saadhanaa is worth emulating. He climbed high
                          in the scale of tapas. After Lord\92s samadhi he separated
                          from the original Aashrama, and founded own ashrama.
                          He was initiated by Lord on Aug 21, 1950. His end came
                          on Feb 26, 1989.  |
