 The Great Saint of the Himalayas is Coming
 to Shower His Blessings on the Metropolis
  

 The Statement issued by:  BAL BRAHMACHARI SHRI MAHESH JI.

  

 Press conference convened by Shri Shankaracharya Reception Committee, Delhi on 
the 15th October 1952 at 5 p.m. in the Young Man's Tennis Club, Queen's 
Gardens, in connection with the visit of HIS HOLINESS SHRI 
JAGATGURUSHANKARACHARYA MAHARAJ OF JYOTIR MATH.

 It gives me a great pleasure to welcome you all and have your company here 
this afternoon. It gives me enough encouragement and support to acquaint you 
with the details of the mission for whose fulfilment His Holiness Shri 
Jagatguru Shankaracharya Swami BRAHMANANDA SARASWATI MAHARAJ will be visiting 
your city about the 12th of November 1952 and stay here for about a month for 
Dharmopdesha.

  

 Swami Brahmanda Saraswati Maharaj, the present Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math 
Badarikashram (in the Himalayas) is a magnetic personality with a sweet  
amalgam of High Wisdom and Love of humanity. He combines in himself the 
Knowledge of the self with the mysterious powers -- the siddhis arising out of 
yogic perfection and hard penances, which he has undergone throughout his life. 
He is a great living yogi and scholar and is revered by millions of Hindus as 
their Supreme Religious head.

  

 This great Saint of the modern age was born in Uttar Pradesh in a well to do 
and renowned Brahman family in 1871 and was enthroned to the seat of His 
Holiness Jagatguru Shankaracharya in 1941 at Banares, during the ninth session 
of the All India Sanatana Dharma Maha Sammelan convened by the Bharata Dharma 
Mahamandala in conjunction with a countrywide support of almost all the ruling 
princes and different socio-religious institutions all over the country. It may 
be recalled that it was a long persuasion of about twenty years which could 
convince Param Virakt Swami Brahmananda Saraswati to accept the great 
responsibility of the Shankaracharya at the age of seventy.

  

 From the  tender age of nine when he came out of his home in Search of God, 
till this time, his life was mostly spent in the lonely hidden regions of the 
Himalayas, Vindya Giris and the Amarkantakas which are rarely frequented by men 
and are chiefly inhabited by wild animals. For years together he has lived in 
hidden caves and thick forests where even the midday sun frets and fumes in 
vain to dispel the darkness that may be said to have made a permanent abode 
there in those solitary and distant regions.

  

 But today he is easily accessible as he is now the presiding head of Shri 
Jyotirmath which is the greatest religious institution of the Hindus of 
Northern India, covering all different creeds and sampradayas and branches 
lying under the fold of Hindu Religions.

  

 One unique principle of the great Sage that distinguishes him completely from 
other living saints of today is that he does not accept money as gift from his 
visitors or disciples.

  

 This brief description attempts to mirror a few hurried and short glimpses of 
the lifejourney of this great living sage who has actually transformed into a 
living fact the inner latent potentiality of the soul. He has known the great 
universal Truth, whose realisation is the aim of the entire scheme of life.  
For him the mists of ignorance have completely disappeared and having known the 
Divine Reality he has verily become an embodiment of the great Divinity.

  

 His aim of life, if the life of a realised soul can be said to possess any 
such aim, is  to broadcast the message of the Great Divine light that he has 
himself realised, the Light that is the Soul of all human beings. Having 
himself attained the pinnacle of Self development, he aims at transforming the 
worldly minded people into the Godly minded, and through his inner Divine touch 
to change the materialistic hearts of iron into spiritual hearts of gold.

  

 His entire personality emanates the sweet perfume of spirituality. His face 
radiates that rare light, which comprises love, authority, serenity and self 
assuredness thatcomes only by righteous living and Divine Realisation -- one 
feels as if some ancient Maharishi mentioned in the pages of the Upanishads has 
assumed human form and feels that it is worth while leading a pious life and to 
strive for the realisation of the Divine.
