Once, very long ago, when I did not know the way in the tumultuous darkness of the void, you looked with your spirit and saw and told me it was Jesus.
And you were right.
He makes each golden rock and drops them into the oceans of this world to emanate His light, rippling in the ever-expanding spiral of His infinite love
Search very very deeply, inside yourself, before your consciousness, and you will find who you have always known
Meditation:
“When I consider the heavens, the work of His fingers …”
And remember William Blake

Presently at three places here in South Africa I have been blessed to take monthly classes on <strong>The Gospel</strong>. Whether it is beneficial to the devotees or not, I care not judge but it is immensely so to me as a spiritual practice. Oh! You could recognize me in the photo! That was way back in 1977 ! May Master bless you all ! <strong>Swami Vimokshananda</strong> Dear Jayamani

As you know I worked under him from 1981 till he left the <a href="http://www.belurmath.org/centres/itn.htm" rel="nofollow">hospital</a>. I do not know how to describe his contribution to the hospital and mankind. I was always thinking, why nobody is writing on him. But seeing your writeup I am overwhelmed. We always remember him and you. His demise is a great loss for the humanity. <strong>Dr K Zaman</strong> Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh, India Respected Rev Maharaj,

My greeting on this auspicious time of <em>Guru Purnima</em> <em>Atmano mokshartham jagad hitaya cha</em>, "For one's own salvation, and for the welfare of the world". The motto of the 'Ramakrishna Order' is so true in the life of Revered <strong>Swami Prathamanandaji </strong>Maharaj. While reading the blog, the picture becomes so vivid in the mind. How Maharaj must have engaged and dedicated his service to those in distress and need. One can see that Maharaj only remembered that whomsover you may serve, you are serving God. I can only imagine how Maharaj must have made all the village people feel. A true <em>Karma Yogi</em>.
