Balachandran Gunasekaran is well known among AVM circles for his documentation of events. He has an extensive list of all those seekers whom he has introduced to the Nadi reading. Similarly he has photographed and documented his numerous pilgrimages to India. He has good memories of the dates too.
Now on his 5th pilgrimage to India, Bala has sent in updates and photos. Bala and Dyalen Muniandi started their journey from AVM a couple of days before departure. They lighted a lamp each praying that their journey should go well.
