From the Publisher
Sixteen
years have elapsed since we have been
separated from the physical presence of
His Holiness Swami Lakshman Joo, our
revered Master. It has been a difficult
period of our lives when we has to summon
all our faculties of fortitude to come to
terms with our loss. However, it was only
because of the unseen hand of our Master
that we realized that he was always with
us. It is only due to his powerful grace
that we have emerged untouched by the
troubled circumstances.
On the
occasion of Gurudeva's Birth Centenary
which falls on 9th May 2007, we, his
devotees and disciples, are bringing out a
collection of essays in his memory, titled
Samvidullasah, or "joyful
manifestation of Divine
Consciousness." It contains
contributions by great scholars and
spiritual people who have had direct
experience of Gurudeva, but also by those
who have not had the darsana of his
physical form, but who have been touched
by his grace.
My Guru
sisters Bettina ji and Sarla ji have
undertaken this difficult task to bring
out this book, the fruit of their effort,
to present to the readers Gurudeva's
greatness. These two disciples have
collected these articles on Gurudeva, and
they have also illustrated them with
beautiful photos which evoke his memory,
and which have enhanced the importance of
this volume. I am very happy and I express
my gratitude and blessing on all the
devotees of Gurudeva. The longstanding
desire of the devotees to know about their
Gurudeva will be fulfilled, and thus
Gurudeva will bestow peace on the readers.
One thing is certain, that Gurudeva's
blessing is with all of us, whether
directly or indirectly, and that he is
guiding us from within. The readers of
this volume can experience this
themselves.
With blessings and asking for Guru's
grace.
