Swami Krishnananda Shashtyabdapurti Mahotsava Commemoration Volume

A Souvenir released on Swami Krishnananda's 60th Birthday

Message from Swami Chidananda

It is a great joy to me to give this brief message for the Shashtyabdapurti Mahotsav (Diamond Jubilee) Commemoration Volume being published upon the auspicious occasion of the Sixtieth Birthday Anniversary of our most revered and esteemed Sri Swami Krishnanandaji Maharaj. It is an excellent idea to make this Commemoration Volume a manual of philosophy, Yoga and culture by including articles of spiritual value from eminent writers in the field of spirituality and Bharatiya Samskriti. The readers will also be greatly inspired by articles upon the ideal life, exemplary personality and sublime spiritual teachings of Pujya Sri Swami Krishnanandaji Maharaj. He is the shining light of Gurudev's Ashram and the Divine Life Society organisation. His daily life and actions are filled with the radiance of wisdom, love, compassion and righteousness.

May this valuable Commemoration Volume become the means of inspiring, transforming and divinising the lives of numerous earnest Sadhaks and seekers who have the good fortune of reading this volume published to commemorate, as well as felicitate, most revered Sri Swami Krishnanandaji Maharaj upon the occasion of his Diamond Jubilee. May this Commemoration Volume be a sacred vehicle of sanctifying Satsang, divine wisdom, spiritual guidance, practical instructions and of sublime life-transforming idealism. Hari Om Tat Sat.
