This seems to be difficult or rather curious to understand that why Swamiji did not communicate with His brother disciples for almost 7 to 8 months? His first letter to them is somewhere on 18th March 1894 whereas meanwhile He has sent at least 3 letters to His Madras disciples.
May be He had written this letter in January and took three months to reach Calcutta. May be all other Swamis, His brother disciples had themselves been wandering all over India?
Was He out of habit in writing to them or was He not prepared to inform them about the plan taking shape in His mind about the future work. Was He waiting for a Divine command to explain His ideas to them and make them follow those?
Most of the Monastic disciples of Sri Ramakrishna were still wandering. Somewhere in April 1894 Swamiji wrote to Swami Shivananda to call the brother monks back to Math and start the work. Immediately after getting the letter Sw. Shivananda met Swamis Brahmananda and Turiyananda in Lucknow and conveyed the request. By the end of 1894 they both returned to Calcutta.
His letters to the brothers till the early part of1895 were not many but later He started writing to them frequently with tremendous power in each word. It was not only that His words carried power but His Inspiration and Vision that would later bring revolution in the monastic concept of India.
