threw out all my fears, pr.obias, suspicions and doubts. I felt so giddy that I had to go out of the akhara. It was a very pious and cleansing experience for me.
Om Tat Sat CS.R
Hari Om,
The power of Swami Niranjan's presence is such that I came to the convention with a lot of questions and they got answeredby themselves without my even asking. I think his whole attitude impresses me, I'm sure he is a perfect human being, just like his name Niranjan (stainless). He is a saint. I can imagine that an angel would be like that, like he is. The best thing is to see him because everyone feels differently. And if you can't see him, you should listen to a talk by him. When I stand in front of him I feel like a drop of water in a big ocean, that's my experience. He has humor, a combination of humor and childlikeness, simplicity and straightforwardness.
Swami Niranjanji has an incredibly clear mind. Even with a thousand things going on around him, if you ask him a question he is totally with you, understands you clearly. He is like a child, playful, innocent. He is humorous. He is very real, very powerful. I'm never on the lookout for a guru. I have met so many great saints and holy people in India, but I never experienced a sparkle from them. Then I came to Munger for the convention and I saw Swami Niranjananandaji. I was taken aback by his personality, his appearance, his voice, what he symbolizes for me, perfection. His name also means untainted. He is someone who has something to say, to show, but with a sense of humor. The others are all sitting there being holy, but here is someone who does something. I like his slogan of Yoga the need of today and the culture of tomorrow." And he is serious about these things. So, for me, he is like a remover of ignorance, a real guru.
