Swami Chidananda on Swami Krishnananda

Great is my happiness to express my homage and high regards to our most revered Swami Krishnananda Saraswati, my beloved spiri­tual brother and fellow-disciple at the feet of our most worshipful Guru Sri Swami Sivanandji Maharaj, upon this joyful and auspicious anniversary of his 50th Birthday, which, we at the Ashram, are celebrating as his Golden Jubilee Jayanti Utsay.

Sri Swami Krishnanandaji is the foremost spiritual personality of our Gurudev's holy Ashram, who has inspired, guided and enlightened countless spiritual seekers ever since his advent at this Headquarters of the Divine Life Society in the year 1944. He has drawn to himself innumerable fortunate spiritual aspirants by the sublime spiritual quality of his lifeand his deep knowledge and rare wisdom.

Today, Swami Krishnanandaji is enshrined in the hearts of count­less Sadhakas and Students of Yoga and Vedanta all over the World by his loving disposition, his kindness to them and his genuine keen interest in their spiritual progress and welfare. Thus, it is not only we, at holy Sivananda Ashram, but also many thousands of spiritual people in many cou­ntries all over the world who will be rejoicing upon this very happy occa­sion of his Golden Jubilee Birthday.

Beloved Swami Krishnanandji shines as the leading light of our monastic brotherhood at Sivannada Ashram and as the foremost amongst the spiritual teacher of Divine Life Society, whom worshipful Gurudev left behind to carry forward his spiritual work in this latter half of the 20th century. That he was born for this spiritual work and that he was a man with a Mission in this Modern Age becomes clearly evident by theway in which he grew up in his young age and showed unmistakable signs of what was to come right from the very beginning of his life.

It makes a most interesting as well as a rewarding study to look into the early life of this eminent spiritual son of India shining with highest knowledge, supreme dispassion, unequalled renunciation, simplicity, austerity, desirelessness and dedication. Swami Krishnanandji is Vedanta and Virakti personified and as such an embodiment of Dharma, of Gurubhakti and of Samadrishti (equal vision) that the very presence of this truly Great-souled Mahatma adds lustre to the order of Sanyas today.
