	Personally, it does not really matter to me if Ramalingam was an
Adept or Chela not does it matter at what level. What is relevant is that
he did have contacts with Those who were being the TS and did have prior
knowledge of TS before even HPB knew about the founding of TS.

	Today, almost over a century after Ramalingam's mysterious
disappearance, a lot of activity is going on in investigating, discussing
his philosophy in South India. Since his philosophy was based on
Universal Brotherhood, all this activity can do nothing but good to the
masses.
