Mr. Eugene Exman, the President of Spiritual Literature section of Harper and Brothers, a renowned publishing house, on reading ‘Ocean in A Tea Cup,’ a book written by Mr. Ray Archer Hauserman, a disciple of Sree Sree Thakur, flew all the way from America to just see for himself if what he had read was at all true. After a few days’ stay at Deoghar and meeting Sree Sree Thakur and talking with him a number of times on a wide variety of subjects he left for his country, an initiated disciple of Sree Sree Thakur and convinced that there was much, much more to Sree Sree Thakur than what the pages of the book had given him an inkling of.
