Swami Arulananda
FROM THE WEB:
Swamiji was attracted to God from his childhood.
He often visited a Vishnu temple with his parents and remained absorbed in prayer for long periods of time.
As a child swamiji was suffering from asthma.
When he was 7 years old an old saint visited his house. Swamiji was sitting on the veranda at his house.
The saint kept him on his lap and applied holy ash (“Vibhooti”) on his body and asked him to eat the holy ash.
The saint preached Ganapati mantra to Swamiji and asked him to chant.
The saint left Swamiji’s house and said he would meet him again.
This experience miraculously relieved Swamiji of his childhood asthma.
Swamiji developed devotion towards this saint and repeatedly heard the Ganapati mantra without his volition.
Swamiji’s student life continued and he regularly visited the Vishnu temple near his home town.
Yogis, siddhas, and rishis are similar in that they dedicate their lives to the realization of Truth and God. However, they behave slightly differently and belong to one of the following categories:
Saints who live according to divine directions. These people will not allow others to get close to them and they are normally ridiculed by people who do not understand their spiritual enlightenment.
Saints with a desire to help and enlighten all lives. They utilize their own spiritual experience and powers they have obtained by extreme spiritual practices and divine directions to serve humanity.
Saints who allow others to get close to them by solving their worldly problems and clearing worldly obstacles for their spiritual development.
Arulananda belongs to the second category of saints. After many years of solitary tapas, He has come back to live among people at shr Ananda Ashram in a coastal village called Vadarevu near prak Asham district, Andhra Pradesh, India.....................OK
..........................................has anyone in london met him?
