Dear Swamiji,
Thank you so much for your presence in this world and in particular your translation of the Vedic pujas…For some reason the chanting of your translations has formed the most profound religious experiences of my life…be it your divine grace, wisdom, lineage, the connection to you and Shree Maa via the published words, the intrinsic power of worshipping the Goddess, Sanskrit…whatever the unique source of awe, inspiration, and power has been…I don’t know….but Thank You!
Sincerely,

As a friend, philosopher and guide you have changed the dimensions of our sadhana and understanding about life.
Thou art the perceiver of our unspoken words….

24*7 satsang and spiritual helpline….
Thine smile and words have been inspiration and motivation for a meaningful life….
As we have experienced your grace may many more can be such lucky souls
Happy FATHERS DAY TO OUR BELOVED COSMIC FATHER!

Dearest Swamiji,
Koti koto pronams on your feet. Never met you in person but so grateful and lucky to feel your presence in our life. You guide me for everything and now existence has a new meaning.
Thank you for the love and blessings you have showered.
Love and respect. Happy Father’s Day,
Koushik
Dear Swamiji,
Although we have not seen each other for several years now, you are and will always remain a prominent figure on my spiritual path. I know if Sarvananda were still here, he would fervently echo my words.
Among my vivid memories is the day we first met you and Shree Maa in early 1985, at the little house in Concord where you were staying temporarily. Your clear commitment to your spiritual path and to Maa, with your warmth and friendliness, made a strong impression on both of us. Your steadfast devotion has always been an inspiration.
I bow to you with much respect and love,
Maitri Nanda.
Swamiji,
I would like to extend my love and best wishes and thanks to Bhagwan for blessing us with your grace Swamiji…
Happy Fathers Day
Jai Guru Dev….🙏💐

Swamiji,

Swamiji,
Thanks for being there for me the last 15 years. You always respond and serve like Hanuman headed to the Sun.
Love,
Keshavananda (the new)
Happy Father’s Day, Swamiji!
It is “chance” that led me to the Devi Mandir’s website and love that has kept me there. There may be words in Sanskrit that can express the depth my gratitude for how you continue to guide and shape my Sadhana, but perhaps, not in English 😊.
I hope one day to meet you so you can teach me these words, and so much more.
With love and gratitude,
Vindra
Pranams Swamiji,
Wishing You a very Happy Father’s Day and many more!
We are so grateful for the day that Shree Maa and You came into our lives and for all Your love and teachings. Thank You for making ancient Wisdom accessible to so many and for leading by example.
Om Sam Saraswatyai Namah🙏🏼🌺
Jai Maa! Jai Swamiji!

Namaste Swamiji,
Happy Fathers Day!
You have been so important in my life. You have believed in me when it was difficult to learn the ways of you and Maa. You always were available when I had questions or just wanted to keep in touch.
Thank you for your love and your caring.
Jai Maa, Gerry
Pranam Swamiji
Thank You from the depth of our hearts for the sweetness of your love, brilliance of your wisdom and clarity of your teachings – each of which blesses our every day with joy, inspiration and hope.
With many, many, many prostrations at Your Lotus Feet,
Srinivasan and Ramya
Namaste, Dear Swamiji,
Thank you for sharing your love of God, your knowledge, your wisdom, your understanding, your compassion, your bhava, and your beautiful smile in a way that is infectious to the point of being life-altering.
Your presence in my life through the satsang group, your books, and your videos continues to provide me with hope, inspiration, and so much more.
The fatherly care you show to disciples and devotees is palpable, and so I bow to you again and again.
Happy father’s day!
Jai Swamiji! Jai!
With love, Graeme de Villiers
Swamiji,
You have enhanced my Chandi worship and I am able to do all Chandi Nyasas, Devi Suktam and Siddha Kunijka Strotram due to you.
I never had hope of doing Chandi Yantra Puja and you have made it appear so easy. I am ever grateful to you Swamiji.
Happy Father’s Day 🙏🙏🙏
May Maa Chandi grant all perfect health and all other blessings to you 🙏🙏

Swamiji,
I am inexpressibly grateful that you came into my life. I have been forever changed by your presence.
With Love,
Swarupananda
Swamiji,
I know it is a day to express our gratitude to you but I still want to ask then for you to give and what I ask is for your blessing, for people like me where we are not intune with God or Guru being able to see at physical plane does feel like a blessing. So I demand to see you…
Regards
Sree..
Swamiji,
You have my deep respect and admiration. You’re so intelligent. I tell everyone you’re like an incarnation of Ganesha. Your heart has so much love, you’re the master bhaktar.
Thank you so much for helping me check my marriage compatibility with my fiancee. But more than anything else, thank you for empowering all of us to spread dharma and soulfulness in the world. The world is a much more beautiful place because you’re in it.
May we all not neglect the opportunity to learn what you have to teach. May we all do good karmas in our lifetimes and be inspired by you to contribute to the feeling of unity and love across the world, that all beings in existence are a family, and that rather than fighting, we should try to help one another and work together towards a universal harmony and peace.
May we all do good karmas together, may you live as long as Markandeya, may auspiciousness increase in the world.

Namaste Swamiji,
You have taught me how to connect to the divinity in me by showing a living example, and having the free classes by investing your precious time and resources. They inspired me so much in expanding my sadhana. You have guided me many a times when I was standing on the cross roads, and your guidance definitely proven to be the best path I could have taken to grow holistically in life.
You are not only efficient but patient as well to reply all my queries, however daft it was. Having you as my Spiritual Father, everyday is a Father’s Day and I celebrate you in my pujas. As a child I can’t pay back parents love and sacrifices, so how ever much I say “Thank you” to you, it is not enough and I am always indebted to you!
Jai Swamiji!
Happy Father’s Day!

Swamiji,
I wanted express how much you have has meant to me. I’m inspired by your amazing attitude, boundless devotion and sweet love. I’ve felt your tangible support many times when I was down or needed direction.

Jai Swamiji!! Jai Maa!!
Happy Father’s Day!!
Patrick Cauthorn
Dear Swamiji,
I want to wish you the happiest father’s day possible and to thank you for being so loving. Thank you, thank you, thank you–for all that you’ve done and continue to do.
I will see you in a few weeks, praying that you’ll be at the Mandir.
Yours in Maa,
Uma
Swamiji,
You are my spiritual father, my guru.
Thank you for teaching me the right way to chant.
We all love you.
Nirmala Maa
Swamiji,
Happy Father’s Day!
You are a mountain of wisdom and a scholar and I love your books and reference them often.
But what I want to say for Father’s Day is “thank you for being that father influence when I needed it most.” You helped me draw the line when I was most depleted. You said “this is the standard”, and I was able to hold that standard and crawl out of my misfortune and create a better life.
Thank you for being my family.
Love, Wah Maa
Swamiji,
Thank you for the Light, knowledge and inspiration you have brought to the lives of many. You are a blessing to humanity. I know it has not always been easy, but that you cherish the opportunity to serve Guru Maa and her devotees!
On this Father’s Day I will perform and dedicate in your name five recitations of the Khadga Mala Storam for the welfare of the world as an act of appreciate for your devotion, sacrifice and love for humanity!❤️🙏🏾🌹
Sincerely,
Lamont D. Satchel
Swamiji,
You were water when I was lost in the desert.
Sorush Dovlatabadi
To Dear Swamiji,
I love you and I always will. You are the best person I have ever met. I am so glad that God gave me the opportunity to meet you and know you. I have grown up watching you, the time I’ve spent with you learning and earning knowledge is just so beautiful. There is still so much to learn, but except for the part of being a guru, I would specially like to mention how great you are as a father.
I remember the first time I met you, it was like meeting Santa Claus. I had no idea about dharma and puja. But being with you used to make me so happy. I was in fourth standard when I first saw you, and I still remember those big tight hugs and you asking cheeks kisses every night at the dinner table. I used to reserve my seat specially just to sit next to you.
With time, I have grown and I have had so many wonderful memories together, like reading my first Chandi with you all in the Chandi Mandir and later in the evening I got your Chandi as a gift with a note written as an appreciation for being able to translate some of the mantras; then the time we all used to sit and discuss lessons on Chandi, every evening 4 o’clock was something I used to look forward to; then singing in front of the Delhi crowd in the Katyani Mandir and you giving me your garland saying that you’re proud of me; all these moments and so many other countless memories.
I can share everything with you without hesitation, I can pour my heart out and talk about any problem, I now have someone to share my happy news with. I could have never asked for a father greater than you.
I am grateful to God
Wish you a very happy father’s day.
I hope my email is there in the card too.
Jai maa,
Chandra.
Dearest Swamiji,
May this Father’s Day bring you abundant happiness!
As a young man, I thought I knew what it meant to lead a spiritual life. I realized just how far from the mark I was after meeting Swamiji. Having had the opportunity to live and worship with him, I saw an insane level of dedication in regards to cultivating the knowledge of the highest respect.
Swamiji’s tireless pursuit of the goal has been an inspiration to many, and has provided me with plenty of motivation to see how much can be accomplished in this life.
Om Tat Sat,
Shankar Saraswati
Dearest Swamiji,
Happy Father’s Day!
Thank you for being the Father of this beautiful congregation of spiritual seekers and practitioners. Thank you for all of your sacrifices, which are too endless to name.
For me, I am most appreciative of two gems that you brought into my life – the sacred Chandi Path and our most precious Shree Maa.
Your knowledge is unparalleled and will be a source for future generations to come.
Have a great Father’s Day,
Pushpa
Dear Swamiji,
You have been behind all our successes. We will never forget you and we pray that someday we can reflect even a little of your love and inspiration.
Thank you for all the work you’ve done to make the scriptures and practices available to us.
Thank you for your satsang!
With love,
Vani & Viresh
Dearest Swamiji,
You have been and are a shining light in my life and elixir of love in my heart.
The tools you so freely give to All, I hold sacred in my “Sadhu toolkit” and every time I open it – gratitude and love pops out.
May Divine Mother continue always to hold you in the palm of her hand.
Hugs from Usha on Saltspring Island , Canada
Dear Swamiji,
Yes it is true you have impacted my life in ways I cannot even imagine. You taught me Sanskrit slokas and Mantras, chants and the vedic way of life. I took the gifts and shared them all over the world and they keep on giving.
And on a visit to Germany, when I wasn’t sure what to do, you gave me the best advice, to change my ticket and extend my time there, so I was able to be there for my fathers passing. You also gave me advice that I didn’t follow and regretted it in hindsight.
You are a profound guiding light in my life. Thank you for everything is not enough, so all I can do is keep passing it forward as best as I can.
With deep gratitude,
Angelika
Dearly Beloved Swamiji,
Wishing you the Highest, Holiest, Heavenly Happiness, Vibrantly Radiant Health, Abundant Prosperity, and Never Ending Wisdom of the Ages.
Your Love, Devotion, Attention, Eternal Unbounded Awareness and Deep Silence have always been inspiring in guiding our growth in Evolution.
We love you dearly!!! Loving you BEYONDANANDA EmojiEmojiEmojiEmojiEmojiEmojiEmojiEmojiEmojiEmojiEmojiEmoji
Gail Rhodes and Roger
Dearest Swamiji – although we have never met, your patience, accessibility, knowledge, and love made it possible for me to turn back to yoga, and to God, at a very difficult time. I thought I was past the point of no return, but you showed me that there was no need to stay on that road.
With Great Respect and Love,

Swamiji Satyananda Thakur,
Jai Ma! Radhe Radhe! So glad for all your many blessings and teaching me so much about samskrt, shastra and puja you teachings are truly the immortal nectar of the goddess relishable by all.

Dearest Precious Swamiji,
Thank you so much for the way you offer so much of your time, wisdom, energy, love, devotion, enthusiasm, prayer,and experience to all. It is such a precious gift that we can borrow your assurance, tap into your experience, and receive such kind and generous portions of your wisdom in this way.
While I am but a fool and a novice on the path, I am certain I can spot a master, and there is no doubt in the way you live for the benefit of all, in such blazing devotion, in such deep understanding, with such friendliness and welcoming, that it is mastery you bring forth to and for us, and hopefully through us.
I found you through your incredible translation of the Chandi Path, and not only did that work blow my mind, it led to all kinds of marvellous spiritual adventures!
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you do, and am touched to have the opportunity to include myself in the roster of your spiritual children offering thanks and praise for your life so beautifully lived.
Happy Fathers Day!
With deep pranams, love, and respect,
Leela Devi

Namaste Swamiji:
Happy Fathers Day. Thank you for the gift of teaching Chandi. Thank for breaking down sadhana into simple to do things as in asana, pranayama and chanting. Thank you for taking a personal interest in me, Terri and kids.
Jai Maa
Raghu
Happy Father’s Day Dearest SWAMIJI 🙏🏼🌷🌈
Many years ago I had the Grace to meet you and Shree Maa twice in Massachusetts, quite profoundly the first time as you and Shree Maa had just returned from India after having visited all the Jyoti Lingam sites. You blessed everyone there with the combined sacred ashes from the Homans offered at each site. I will never forget how blessed I felt that day.
Thank you for all you give and do so lovingly and selflessly!!! May all you give to others return to you a thousand-fold!!!!
Peace and Blessings
Thank you 🙏🏼!!🕉!!🌸
Pamela Dee
Pranaam Swami Jee Adesh Adesh,
I would like to take this opportunity on Fathers Day to tell you what a wonderful Jagat Pita and Jagat Guru you are and have led so many to the path of spiritual enlightenment through your books and discourses over the many years of life service you have done in the worship of the divine.
When Bhramins were hiding knowledge and for those that were not versed in sanskrit you pioneered the way to spread the message of worship and sadhna in the medium of english while encouraging everyone to learn sanskrit while doing sadhna.
Being an Indian and not knowing how to read Hindi, with a yearning to worship the divine mother with her mantras, You provided me and certainly others a medium through your texts and discourses to allow all of us to worship the divine with the sacred mantras.
As a guru and the guiding light to us all you have been the sole source of inspiration in us on the path of sadhna, bhakti and selfless service to the divine and mankind. Your bhakti bhava inspires us all to to stay on the path. While others make the path of devotion tough you make it a childs play with your humour while conveying the highest level of Sanskrit as a Sat Guru.
Words are little to convey the love we all feel within our hearts for you! We stay on the path because you have infected us with the bug of bhakti and devotion from seeing you smile and spread love all over the world. At the same time acknowledging that the austerities and tapasya that you have undergone as a yogi has been difficult but the smile has never faded.
Happy Fathers Day Baba Jee!
Jai Swami Baba Jee!
Rajan Singh
Dear Swamiji,
I am so grateful You are in my life. All the Love, All the Guidance, All the Support. I have Your picture with me always and I feel the Divine Protection. I appreciate that You are so very “human” with me. Practical, down to earth, common sense…Sane! Sanity is GOOD!
Happy Father’s Day, Dear Swamiji. Please give my Love to Shree Maa, as well. I am so very thankful for both of You.
Love from my Heart to Yours,
Laurie
Dear Swamiji,
Even though I live far away and I’m not a frequent visitor, you have had quite an impact on my life and I can’t let this opportunity pass without wishing you a truly blessed birthday.
My Pranams at your lotus feet.

Kalavati aka Gertie 🙏🕉🙏
Happy Father’s Day to the Father of the Universe. Thank you dear Swamiji for the knowledge, the
love, the shakti and of course, the laughs.

Swamiji,
With boundless love I say to you Happy Fathers Day. You are everything I can ask for in a Guru. Your love, wit, words, voice and smile is unmatched, maybe even in heaven it’s unmatched.
With love,
Gyandesh
Namaste Swamiji,
Over the years you have meant so much to me. Everything from remembering my name to showing me the example of how a true sadhu walks the path. No amount of gratitude can ever repay can what the Guru offers the devotee.
Happy Father’s Day.
Love, Michael
Pranam Guruji,
Happy Fathers day. It is always a pleasure to watch your videos and your emails. We are fortunate to have a wise man among us who despite staying miles away responds individually whenever we wish to communicate with you. Thank you for that and everything.
Jai Maa! Dharmo rakshati rakshitaha.
Yuvraj Singh
Dear Swamiji,
I am grateful for your continuous loving presence connecting the community with Shree Maa and the teachings. I have always been impressed of the wide spectrum you cover to make accessible the treasure teachings and practices to all. In this father’s day I wish you all the love pouring back to your heart.

Guadalupe García
Dearest Swamiji,

Your smile and your infectious storytelling and your love of Mother has been and is inspiring for so
many years now. Thank you for the blessing of being part of my daughter Talon and my life.

Love,
Tina Vohra, Charles Ray, Sameer Ray and Areeya Ray
Swamiji,
For a Divine being I have never met (in the form) but yet have impacted my life in a grand way, I have learned the act of worship through your puja books, read your words of encouragement and support addressed directly to me.
Your kindness and devotion have rippled thru many states and touched my heart.
I just come to wish you a happy Birthday, your birth is a blessing to all of us far and near. Thank you for coming….to 3 D.
Perhaps one Day I can come to where you are and receive your blessing with Maa (in person).
🙏 Namaste
Yours always,
Nicole from FL 💐
Thank you, Swamiji, for your example… for your expressions of Infinite Goodness.
Love, Kantananda

You are an inspiration! A Light unto the world.
Thanks for being a shining example.

Dear Swāmījī,
The work you have offered is stunning. Everyone needs to hear this no matter how selfless the effort they offer. That’s the beauty of being human — we can offer small kindnesses to each other.
You have made it crystal clear that what is called “Kriyā Yoga” is a series of practices distilled from the patterns found in traditional pūjā practices. What you and Maa have offered has deeply enriched my understanding of the things I have been kindly taught by wise men and women.
Again, Thank You. And have a happy Father’s Day.
Michael Perry
Namaste Dear Swami-ji,
I’m so appreciative that the translations of the Simple Pujas along with the instructions that they include have been madeavailable, along with all of the other knowledge on your website.
For someone just learning, they are a great gift of knowledge and devotion, and are so fulfilling.
Thank you for your selfless service to the highest good and for your supreme blessings and gifts to the world.
Jai Maa!
Josh
Happy Father’s Day, Swamiji!
Anyone who has God AND Shree Maa, certainly has it all.
Thank you for being such a vibrant spiritual addition to our lives. You have been a part of Mukti’s spiritual circle for many years. I am privileged to witness the positive impact you have had on her, and to share in some of your wonderful videos, talks, etc. with her.
Our Hearts go out to you!
With Loving Admiration,
Vincent
Namaste Swamiji,
Thanks for all the sadana you have done over the years and thanks for all your books and for teaching us how to do our own sadana. The planet is a much better place because of you.
Namaste!

Om Namashivaya!
Heartfelt blessings to our most Beloved Swamiji!
We have only been to the Mandir a handful of times, but each moment was priceless, powerful and transcendental!
The impact you have had on my life and the life of my young children will no doubt last many lifetimes! The fervor of your satsangs, the joy and truth that emanates from you is contagious, and One willingly yearns to have this same intoxication with the Divine!
Thank you for your satsangs, your books, your melodious chanting, and your wisdom.
Happy Father’s Day, meaning you hold the vibrational resonance for all of us as a Divine Parent, ushering children through the illusions of Samsara.
All my humble obeisances,
Gauthier family from Quebec, Canada
🙏 Dearest Swamiji, Pranam
Love and gratitude is unbounded for the many ways you supported me over the years since we first met in 2009, and then from 2013 forward.
Most recently, sharing a sankalpa and the demonstration of your love in providing your complete support brought the shine of tears to my eyes.
Jai Maa!! Jai Swamiji!!
Love & Devotion,
Ramā
Dear Swamiji,
You remain an eternal light of wisdom, god union and inspiration for true devotion. It has been too long since we last saw each other, you and Maa are always in our hearts.
In divine friendship,
Saurabh Mishra
Dear Swamiji,
I’m so grateful for your guidance and inspiration. You changed my life when you took me under your wing. Your wisdom, love, and support helped me through the confusion of my spiritual awakening. It anchors me even now as I grow in my sadhana. Your stories and teachings from twenty-five years come back to me all the time and I realize their truth in a deeper way. I feel so blessed that I found my way to a satguru like you. Thank you for your unfailing love and wisdom.
As always, your daughter Savitri
Jai Maa,
Savi
Namaste Swamiji,
I’d like to thank you for all the wisdom and life lessons you imparted on me throughout my life. I currently am living near Miami and have a job in a local hospital. I owe my success to the lessons I learned from you and Shree Maa. Jai Maa.
Sincerely,

My most beloved Swamiji,
You have impacted my life in ways that have no words and my many many memories of the years you stayed here swim through my memories with such sweet love and gratitude 🙏. My soul thanks you. Your hard work, dedication, intense labors of love are an example for us all. Your books are a blessing to the world forever. Your footprints go deep into our Mother Earth and all of her children. It is my honor to be touched by you and Shree Maa’s grace.
Thank you does not begin to cover the feelings and gratitude in my heart. You are the Father to Millions. I am happy to be one of the grains in the sand you have made whole and aware of so much.
With Great Love and Respect,
Sieglinde
Dear Swamiji,
Never have I met with anyone so filled with such honest and generous love for all. I am honored and so grateful that you and Maa visit me every day in my thoughts.
My life has continued to change for the better since the first day I met you. I am sorry that I have not been nearer to where you reside. I am sorry that I have not been able to make the effort to visit you.
Love,
Nirvanananda Saraswati

You are the best father. Not only do you offer the wisdom we need, you make our hearts happy!

Dear Swamiji,
It was a short reply to a little query. But the promise of blessings of Maa and Swamiji was such a profound and overwhelming message of comfort that the mail is my secret little treasure chest. I peek a look..know the peace…and literally feel ensconced in it’s protective spell. I can’t be grateful enough.
Humble Pranams and heartfelt Love to both Maa and Swamiji,
Suresh Gopika
Swamiji,
Even though I don’t know you well, or see you often, every time I have had the pleasure to be in your presence I have been impressed by your passion, dedication and integrity.
Your luminosity and spiritual presence is palpable and always lifts me up.
I am so happy to have met you, you are an exemplar of spiritual attainment and devotion.
Many blessings this Father’s Day from your spiritual child.
Ommm…..Dani Antman
Hello Swamiji,

Namaste Swamiji!
And Happy Father’s Day to you!
I have been to Devi Mandir only once in person, but I keep in touch via the website.
I’m so grateful for the online classes you teach. I watch them constantly and have so much appreciation for your interpretation of the scriptures.
You make the scriptures accessible for someone like me who has no formal or informal background knowledge of them, while maintaining the highest purity of the meaning.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with all of us.
I am ever grateful!
With Love,
Katherine Kalya Yoo
Respected Swamiji,
I am happy to acknowledge the Fatherly love, affection and guidance that I have received from you time and again.

On the occasion of the Father’s Day celebration, I feel grateful to acknowledge the guidance that I continue to receive from you.
Best Regards,

Swamiji,
You have been a guiding light in times of difficulties and your blessings bring about an end to sufferings.
Wishing almighty and our Beloved Swamiji a very Happy Father’s Day. We always look forward to your blessings and love.
Kini Pradeep
Dear Swamiji,
Thank you so much for tire-sly and promptly providing not only profound answers and sometimes humourous quips, but for mysteriously showing up at just the right time to provide encouragement and support for my sadhana. Even though we have never physically met I feel you are right there on some level that is even more permanent than the physical one.
Thank you,
Tom Siegel
Pranaams to Swamiji & Shree Maa,
How can one measure the greatness of something or someone that is beyond their comprehension & intellect. One can just pray to have enough Vivek (discrimination) to not commit any apradhs (transgressions) in front of them. Having committed apradhs and being a recipient of their mercy & grace, I’m forever indebted!
Jai Maa, Jai Swamiji

You are the epitamy of a sadhu, words and actions completely synchronised in the service of God.
Your books are the foundation of my faith and your compassion and love are given freely to all.
Thank you,

Swamiji,
Every day for the past 20 years you have been part of my sadhana to Lord Shiva!
Thank you for providing me with a clear and transcendent process for this.
Wishing you all glory and sweetness this day and in all those to come,

Dear Swamiji,
Happy Father’s Day to a man who embodies devotion, scholarship, and holy joy!
I have cherished your example over the years and have always remembered your advice to “make the altar bigger” – to give Shree Maa more and more of ourselves and our lives.
It’s not always easy, but with your inspiration I’ve done it. Thank you and Jai Maa!

Dear Swamiji,
We deeply appreciate your presence on this earth. Your strength is like a mighty oak, standing strong in the storm of life, holding a deep spiritual center for so many.
Your energy is a dynamic ever supporting force; unflagging, and helping others develop their own spiritual strength.
Your loving heart envelops all those around you, and those who tune into your spirit, near and far, day and night.
Your unified energy with Shree Maa completes a circuit and serves this world in ways that most do not even ascertain, as you work as clear channels for the Divine.
Thank you for all you do, all you are, and for your deep, divine friendship.
In God’s love and joy,
Mantradevi and Krishnadas
Namaste Beloved Swamiji,
Happy Father’s Day!
Thank you for being the height of inspiration and a powerful presence of living our highest purpose in this world.
You have encouraged, guided and shown me through your example again and again, both in expression and subtlety.
While I may never be able to adequately express my gratitude for your presence in my life, I pray that my sadhana itself speaks of the love for you and beloved Shree Maa in my heart.
Heartfelt pranams and all my love and gratitude,
Yours always,
Krishna
Dear Pujya Swamiji,
You represent the Father figure to everyone that comes into contact: discipline with compassion, organization with guidance, and above everything else love with open arms and warm embraces to children.
With Maa’s grace so close what else can we wish for you on this Father’s Day?
Pranams,
Prasad and Lalitha
Dear Swamiji,
Thank you for support in tough times and love in all times.

Swamiji,
Your presence on planet Earth and the path you follow as a pilgram has also been my journey. As I follow in your foot steps into Satya Yuga while living in Kali Yuga. JAI HO!

What can I say Swamiji – no words can truly express my feelings. To me, you are the living embodiment of Shiva – all that is true and good and beautiful.
I am so fortunate that you have welcomed me into your life and provided guidance. I bow before you in endless gratitude.
Koti pranaams at your feet.
With Love,
Papia Roy
Thank you Swamiji for all your loving guidance, support and blessings through the years. May God give you good health, peace, prosperity, and fulfill your aspirations.
You are an inspiration and we send you our best,
Rajeshwar Datta and family
Pranam Swamiji,
A white Sadhu Babaji mastered it first then showed the Bhartiyas and the oblivions the Rishis’ authentic ways to worship and taught us to form a relationship with the divine.
A Vedic traditional baton fully ignited that only a realized father figure can truly teach and pass on using the divine mother’s energy.
What a priceless spiritual investment!
May this love affair last eternally with Gods, Goddesses, and the Gurus/Fathers/Mothers until there is a party at Lord Shiva’s lok!
Pranam to your lotus feet,
Bhavik
Love you so much, Swami Ji!
Nirmalananda
Happy Fathers Day Swamiji!

Dear Swamiji,
How to sing your praises? I could write a volume, but there is room for only a few words.
You have taught me so much, even though we have never met in person.
Looking back, perhaps the most important lesson is to stop debating idle philosophies with intellectuals and listen to the heart instead. When I listen to the heart, I find you. Then there is peace and joy.
If I have any devotion and discipline at all, it is because you demonstrate these qualities in full, always, showing the way. You are always there when I call, you make everything lighter. And you make me laugh!
I bow to you and send you all my love,
Henny Maa
Dearest Swamiji,
You came to me as Shailaputri and inspired me to begin sadhana, to learn the ways of Sanatana Dharma, and ultimately to my Guru. Words cannot describe the impact you’ve had on my life…THANK YOU for everything! The greatest respect I can pay to you is to become One with God, and that is what you’re helping me do. Namaste Swamiji.
Your devotee,
Ethan
