"SRI SAHAJANANDAGHANA GURUGATHA" Hindi Biography's English Version
MY MYSTIC MASTER YOGINDRA YUGAPRADHAN
Sri Sahajanandaghana Maharaj
30-8-1914: 2-11-1970
CHAPTER 1
Sahajananda is the name of mine,
Sahajananda is the name of mine; Doubtless resident am I of a land
Impenetrable, of a city invisible and divine. Appropriate understanding is father mine, Profound self-experience my mother,
Syadvada is my family line,
Right discrimination my brother. Right faith is my God.
Right knowledge my master and guide, Steadiness of self my religion,
Meditation is the path I ride.
Right intellect is my activity, Threefold control my rest,
With my sweetheart, pure self-consciousness,
I dwell unattached in zest.
In brief, such is the introduction of me
Ask ye about the physical frame? Oh! Say I Its just useless
Why waste thy time?
This is the autobiography the great Jaina monk has left for us. Though precise, this depicts the true nature of the man, who cared so little to leave an account of his physical self. As to his spiritual self, too, we know not much beyond fragments of his discourses in private meetings or public gatherings that may now be scattered among his followers and admirers in the form of personal notes, and unless collected in the near future, will be wholly lost to the future generations.
