Swaroopanand Ji was not just another devotee, he was one of the inner circle of chelas. There are several very useful books available of Shantanand Ji, another of Gurudev's chelas, from the Study Society. But the test of a good disciple of Gurudev is not necessarilly that 'we' hear about them. And actually 'we' do not hear about Guru Dev.
