The first few paragraphs speaks nicely about this topic, comparing them to the rising and setting of the sun: http://www.indiadivine.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/001412.html

thanks; i was wondering about info about initiation and that link had a lot.

i thought maybe appearance and disappearance (dont laugh!) maybe was

appearance:when the devotee appeared from out of society (to a guru), and their incarnation from a previous life (way back in vedic times) was remembered

disapppearance: when they transcended the physical plane, not meaning death

ok, you can laugh, i guess it is funny.
