Swamiji is seen in the act of receiving an honoured guest to the Ashram.

Participating in a Pada Puja to worshipful Gurudev. To Swamiji's right is Swami Madhavanandaji, Vice-President of the Divine Life Society.

Autographing a book. A picture of the early years.

The President and the General Secretary in close conversation.

Praying before opening the Y.V.F. Academy building in 1979. Swamiji could not reconcile himself to the idea of cutting the ribbon. "How can I start the Academy by an act of violence?" Finally, the ribbon was tied into a knot and Swamiji untied it.

Swamiji with Swami Premananda

Tied hand and foot by bonds of love. A new kind of bondage?

Swamiji is quiet obviously pained at something(?) as a pup sniffs at his foot. Swami Hiradyanandaji looks on.

"I have come here not to teach you, but to stir or awaken you all in the path of spirituality. —Swami Sivananda
