Some Political Associates [2]

I knew Satish Mukherji when he was organising the Bengal National College (1905 – 7), but afterwards I had no contact with him any longer. Even at that time we were not intimate and I knew nothing about his spiritual life or attainments – except that he was a disciple of Bijoy Goswami – as were also other political coworkers and leaders, like Bipin Pal and Manoranjan Guha. I knew Satish Mukherji only as a very able and active organiser in the field of education – a mission prophetically assigned to him, I was told, by his guru,– nothing more.
