From a letter to Kapilnath of 26 July 1989
After reading the confession of Joe of New York that [Michael] had initiated him as a sadhu, yogi, sanyasi of an Hindu Sampradaya, that many of the initiations in UK are not the transmission of the ancient communities of India, but some spurious play of his own invention, I hope this mess will soon be cleared up under the trio of developed people I have appointed. I myself am too old to play silly games with [Michael]. So I have handed over the ION leadership to [the] capable. Shambhala Tapovan will no longer be open to people playing holy men or knights in rusty armour. I will, of course, even remain available to disciples and all who have received the authentic Nath Order transmission which has been received by a properly initiated member of ION.
