Swami Pujananda Saraswati

This blog in honor to the mystical outpourings of Swami Lalitananda Saraswati in her hours of meditation and samadhi, and it is managed by Swami Pujananda Saraswati, who trained for twenty-two years under Swami Lalitanandaji's watchful, rigorous, yet compassionate disciplines. S Pujananda had the honor of serving as Swami L's assistant at the Yoga Research Foundation's Ashram in Miami, Florida, from 1980 to 2002. Swami L, as she was affectionately called by students at the Ashram, was a remarkable Sannyasi and Yogi. *Swami Lalitanandaji (1925-2013) co-founded the Yoga Research Foundation (USA), the International School of Yoga and Clinic in Loni, India. She also co-founded the a orphanage for girls and abandoned women in New Delhi, and restored the Ananda Bhawan Cultural Center in Bihar, India. Her nobility of character, unwavering attentive dedication to the suffering of those around her, in addition to her creative activities, which began daily at brahmamuhurta (prior to 4:30 am when brahmacharis joined in daily Karma Yoga), manifested in her life long dynamic service to humanity. Her divine presence and divine life in every way, transformed the lives of many. She was endowed with an exquisite talent that touched many through the musical outpourings of her mystical poems. Her visions in samadhi are best expressed in her own compositions published in eleven volumes as "Yoga Mystic Songs for Meditation." In her lyrics, she has left to all yogic aspirants a treasured legacy that covers the full spectrum of the Major Upanishads (Vedanta) as well as Integral Yoga--aka the four Yogas: Bhakti, Karma, Raja and Jnana. Her songs touch every heart as prayers longing for communion with the divine in the form of Goddess, seeking the grace of Goddess Saraswati, Goddess of wisdom and music. She was also soprano, poet, and composer of all songs in the eleven volumes of "Yoga Mystic Songs for Meditation." These inspiring songs are intended to instill in the aspirant a burning aspiration for mukti, Self-Realization, the goal of human existence. Beloved Swami Lalitananda Saraswati entered Mahasamadhi on February of 2013. Jai Durge! Swami Pujananda, who serves as blog administrator, is ever grateful for the unending blessings from Divine Mother Swami L . Pujananda assisted in translating some of her Yoga Mystic Songs for Meditation and continues in service for the upliftment of all sincere aspirants. May all be Enlightened!
