Thanks for your report. You are right, he was not against hippies, rather a lot of Westerners may have accumulated so much inner 'baggage' that they may have been too difficult to get along with and needed special treatment, or a separate location.

Yes, Bhole Babaji has a lot of followers in Italy. Of the two women I saw in Haidakhan one was German, already fifty or sixty, the other probably Italian, about fourty. The Italian woman seemed very devoted, emotional, silent, the German woman was rather of the intellectual type, no doubt.

What I found really fascinating were the recurring stories of devotees sent away ("you go") but finding themselves unable to do so because of high water, landslide, heavy rainfall etc. while at the same time they were in an inner turmoil, and eventually having to return to the Ashram. As if the inner landscape of the psyche was manifesting in outer nature.

When we were there we took a bath in the river. Although there was not much water at the time, the undercurrent was strong and we left with slightly cut feet. In times of monsoon it must be a torrent.
