He knew it all along

At this time, Ganapati was no longer living in India. He was running his spiritual centres in America. Suren’s wife told Ganapati’s family that her husband had seen something in Ganapati even when he was just a child of three or four. She said that her husband had told her that he knew all along that the little fellow Ganapati would one day become a spiritual giant like his predecessors.
