The Devotion of
Damodar

to
his Guru as outlined by
Colonel H S Olcott
This is an extract from Old Diary Leaves,
Vol. III, pp. 265-6
Colonel H. S. Olcott in old Diary
leaves says that:
Damodar's record since joining H. P. B. and myself
at
As above remarked, he
had almost broken down his constitution by incessant official work, and when
leaving Adyar had begun to spit blood and show signs of a rapid decline. Yet,
with undaunted courage, he undertook the hard journey across the Himalayas,
indifferent to the biting cold, the drifted snow, the lack of shelter and food,
intent upon reaching the Guru whom he had first seen in his youth when lying on
a sick-bed, of whom he had lost sight for many years, but whom he had recovered
soon after joining the Theosophical Society, as his spiritual faculties
developed and he was able to seek him in the suksma sarira. What made him so devotedly attached and
unswervingly loyal to H. P. B. was the discovery that this Guru was one of the
Adepts behind our movement, the intimate associate of "Upasika,"
as he always subsequently called H. P. B.
From the chief coolie of
his escort I [Colonel Olcott] got particulars about him of great interest. . .
. Damodar would not keep any more clothes than the ascetic
costume he was wearing, nor any of the rice, meal, pulse, or other dry provisions
with which his friends had supplied him. The most he would do was to let the
chief coolie bake him a dozen chapaties, or
unleavened pancakes.
The last that was seen
of him by the coolies was when, with face turned towards the Tibetan frontier,
he trudged painfully on and disappeared behind a turning of the road. Old Diary
Leaves, Vol. III, pp. 265-6
