________________ "Everyone wants attached 'this' and attached 'that', but given the situation in Munger few understand how difficult that would be." Someone in the audience broke in, "But Swamji, I sure want an attached Swamiji." We all burst into laughter. Paramahamsa Niranjanananda's command over several languages was great to see, but what put us all to shame (notable to Delhi folk) was his command over Hindi; not one person spoke it so well, not even anyone of the accomplished speakers. Paramahamsa Niranjanananda's graciousness, smiling lips and laughing eyes, great sense of humanizing, 'humorizing' every situation and honoring every person is something remarkable. Om Tat Sat Homayun Tabes A.I.I.M.S., New Delhi Respected Swami Niranjananandaji, Hari Om, Our visit to the Bihar School of Yoga at Munger was a unique experience for my wife and I. Never before had I attended a meeting of this magnitude: several thousand delegates attending the discourses, arrangements for their stay and their meals and yet all going on smoothly. Everyone appeared to me to be going in a direction, following a system, some unwritten code, as if the whole of Munger was busy in the achievement of a great mission. And so it was. In the sea of so much darkness and ignorance all around us, I found your ashram at the Bihar School of Yoga like a lighthouse giving direction to the seekers, an oasis in a vast desert, a jyoti mandir of a wider radius outside your small inner jyoti mandir of the BSY complex. May God make the flame of both these jyoti mandirs shine on and on for eternity. Om Tat Sat Dr. Harbans S. Wasir 397 Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
