8th October, 1951. Drew first breath on the day of auspicious autumnal Mahashtami Childhood and early youth were like any other boy. Initiated in chanting the verses of Srimadbhagavat Gita for the first time after upanayana (ceremony of taking sacred thread – a ritualistic symbol of Brahmins) came across the sloka: ananyascintayanta mam, ye janah paryupasate; tesham nityabhiyuktanam, yogakshemam vahamyaham. The holy God takes upon Himself the entire responsibility of one who is exclusively devoted! It Wandering about for day and months in this or that part of the country he attained strange experiences and profound knowledge of scriptures but derived no satisfaction. By some miracle once came in contact with Swami Bhabananda Giri who took him under his arms. Now started crossing the stages of yogic sublimity one after another. Within a very short period reached the final goal. After self-realisation started the life of Acarya. To cater to the needs of practitioners of yoga he has authored several books. Pregnant with profundity of wisdom and sublimity of thought these mystic exposures have turned out to be of permanent importance in the world of theology. To his innumerable devotees and admirers he is not only the embodiment of Godliness, but a living God – the ultimate repository of peace and sublimity. He holds the key to self realisation and salvation. Following his quidelines one can cross the barriers of mundane existence to attain the summit of human life. Mortals like us are indeed fortunate to have a being such as him in our midst – a recluse of the highest order who has not retired into the obscure nooks of the Himalayas or into the inaccessible syivan retreats of the Narmada, but continues to live within us in a semurban congiomeration of Jurersa, just a few miles off Calcutta.
