Swamiji’s life is one of longstillness of prayer perfectly blended with dynamic activity through selfless service. Spiritual truth is eternal, but it has to be restated and redemonstrated in a humanlife in order that it may be a living and shining example before all of us. This is his thrilling message to the people of this atomic age Swamiji has, by years ofarduous work, created a new world-“Ananda Kutir” or the “abode of bliss”-for the quickspiritual progress of all types of seekers after Truth, suitable to various tastes, temperaments andstages of evolution. Swamiji says: “To raise the fallen, to lead the blind, to share what I have with others, tobring solace to the afflicted, to cheer up the suffering, to love my neighbour as my own Self, toprotect cows, animals, women and children-these are my aims and ideals. His resplendent personality and pristine perspective, brilliant intellect and all-compassionate disposition coupled with his impetuous fervour to uplift mankind have made him a veritable God-man.
