On the Birthday of Paramahamsa Prajnananandaji Maharaj 10 August 2005

My Loving Divine Ones                                                       

I am writing you all with deepest love and oneness. We are blessed that God has sent us such a divine personality as our loving, divine Paramahamsa Prajnananandaji Maharaj, the current spiritual head of this lineage of Kriya Yoga. As a loving disciple and a true successor of our beloved Gurudev Baba Paramahamsa Hariharananda, he has taken all the responsibility of carrying forward the mission of seva and sadhana on his shoulders.

You have all seen his tireless journey from country to country spreading the teaching of Kriya Yoga. In addition to the spiritual activities, his loving guidance of the Hariharananda Charitable Health Centers in India have been providing extremely essential service to those in need. Hariharananda Balashram, the residential school for the poor children, is now flourishing rapidly with the addition of forty more children this year.

A most important project under Paramahamsaji’s care is the construction of Gurudev’s samadhi shrine in Balighai, which is progressing quickly. The next two years will be very busy for all of us as we work under his guidance to celebrate the centenary celebration of our beloved Gurudev.

In spite of all his activities and responsibilities, we experience Paramahamsaji’s love and service. In my life I have not seen such a personality, who has all the qualities of a strict father, a loving mother, a compassionate friend, and an inspiring teacher. In the decades of my close friendship with him, I have seen his complete personality. Let your love and support be with him to carry out the various programs smoothly. Let us pray to God and masters for his sound health and long life so that he will be the instrument guiding us to our goal in life.

Always keep a little smile on your face; that is the expression of your love for God. Every moment we are one moment closer to God. Meditate and be divine.

With lots of love and oneness,
A humble child of God
