My Interests

DR.SWAMI RAMANANDA GIRI MAHARAJ IS AN ENIGMA,AN AUTHOR, A MUSICIAN, A DANCER, AN ARTIST, A WALKING ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SPIRITUAL INFORMATION, A TRUE MASTER OF THE ART OF LIVING, A WIZARD....A TRUE MODERN RENAISSANCE MAN, A MASTER OF MANY THINGS. "GOD IS IMPRESSED BY HUMILITY AND CHARITY" SWAMIJI TELLS US. "IF YOU WANT TO FIND REAL SPIRITUALITY IN THIS KALI YUGA PRACTICE HUMANITARIANISM, DEVOTIONAL SERVICE, AND TRUE CHARITY....THESE THINGS WILL LEAD YOU TO GOD."

PEOPLE FIND SWAMIJI'S PRESENCE HEALING. HE HEALS WITH HUGS, HIS LISTENING HEART, AND HIS INSIGHTFUL PSYCHIC DIRECTIONS. PEOPLE FLOCK TO HIM IN DESPERATION WITH PROBLEMS OVER THEIR HEALTH, THEIR WEALTH AND THEIR RELATIONSHIPS. HE TURNS NO PERSON AWAY. EACH TO HIS OWN IS GIVEN DIRECTION THAT IS INCREDIBLY POWERFUL. SWAMIJI IS NO WIMP, HE IS TOUGH LOVE SWAMI. HE BELIEVES IN CLIMBING THE MOUNTAIN OF CONSCIOUSNESS IN ORDER TO SHED THE FALSE EGO. HE WILL ENCOURAGE YOU ALWAYS TO GIVE YOUR BEST. SWAMIJI RECENTLY TOOK US ON A TREK HIGH IN THE HIHALAYAS TO THE CAVE OF BABAJI. IT WAS RIGOROUS HIKING, YOGA, AND SEVA. I CAN SAY IT WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST EXPERIENCES OF MY LIFE TO BE IN THE HIMALAYAS WITH MY SWAMI. "YOGIS TRADITIONALLY ARE THE STRONGEST PEOPLE IN INDIA. WE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO CAN ENDURE ALL THINGS, LIFT ALL THINGS, AND SURVIVE THE CHALLENGES OF LIFE." SWAMIJI EXCLAIMED IN HIS BOOK "WISDOM". WE ARE HONORED TO WALK THIS PATH OF WITH HIM WHICH LEADS RIGHT TO THE HEART OF MOTHER'S TEACHINGS. IT IS A PATH OF BHAKTI, SEVA (SELFLESS SERVICE), CHARITY, AND BLISS WHICH COMES FROM SURRENDERING TO HER PERFECT LOVE. (WRITTEN BY HANUMAN DASS OF JAI MA SATSANG INTERNATIONAL.

OM SHANTI

I'd like to meet:

"OUR YOGA SATSANG IS DEDICATED TO ALL TRUE SEEKERS ON THE SPIRITUAL PATH OF LIFE.
