The life of this living liberated Man, Jivanmukta, Omkarananda Saraswati, a Brahmajnani (brahmavit brahmaiva bhavati) permanently settled in unconditioned and all-independent joy, peace, fearlessness, and a dignity that can only belong to the divine Reality, is inward and invisible, though the traits of his daily consciousness, delineated here in this line, are palpable to an appreciable extent to our eyes. Can one present a verbal picture of a Mystic Sage rooted in the experience of the transcendental Truth? Not possible. The Answers have taken the form of this publication. Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswamis HINDUISM TODAY, a Newspaper circulated the world over, asked in the form of questions for a description of Paramahamsa Parivrajakacharya Sadguru Sri Swami Omkarananda Saraswati and his Himalayan and European Ashrams.

Paramahamsa Omkarananda SaraswatiHis Lineage and his Himalayan and European AshramsQuestions raised by Mr. Mission I will not stop the activity of my being, not rest idle, until every creature in Creation and all of the Creation itself, is touched with the Light Eternal, until every individual entity gains in living experience the Love, the Peace, the Happiness and the fulfilment of the infinite One. I have no tradition except the tradition of traditionless self-expressions of the Experience of the one Truth. I would belong to some creed, some religion, some denomination, some Sampradaya, I would not be universal, not belong to all religions, all cultures, and yet transcend all religions, all cultures. If I had a tradition, I would be localised. I have no tradition as the learned intelligence understands.
It is the tradition of the Divine everywhere. Question:What is your Tradition and what is your Mission, Swami Omkarananda?Īnswer: Tradition My tradition is the tradition of the Truth in your inner heart. He will confirm to you that the only true and correct description of Swami Omkarananda is the one he himself has given. If you know here on earth the greatest Sage, Saint, Guru, the greatest clairvoyant, prophet, or anyone to whom supernormal power of perception, or anyone to whom daily contact with God, is attributed then, ask that person, who Swami Omkarananda is. And, yet I am what I am, the Transcendent Reality. Since the supreme Divinity as the Timeless Eternity and as the Time Eternity Sadashiva Tripurasundari is dwelling in my Heart, Life, Consciousness, and as there is no difference between That and Me and Me and That, I am dwelling in the Soul of all Gods and Goddesses, all Saints and Sages, all beings visible and invisible. Time was formed, and time is dissolved, and I remain what I have always been, a Being with depths to which there is no beginning, and heights to which there is no end. A timeless Being came from, and into, timeless Eternity. Who are you, Swami Omkarananda?Īnswer: Who Am I? Before I was born, I was.
We need to have a description of yourself by yourself.
We know the descriptions of you by them and by thousand others. Question:The Journalist of the monthly newspaper HINDUISM TODAY asked the inmates of your Ashrams to describe you. OMKARANANDA HIS LIFE, HIS TRADITION, HIS MISSION Paramahamsa Omkarananda SaraswatiHis Lineage and His Mission
