For four long years, the spiritual thirst, the search to find a
true Master made Param Poojya Shri Swami Iswarananda
Giriji Maharaj traverse all over the country meeting many
Sages, visiting several ashrams and practising severe
austerities in Uttara-Khanda. During this period of deep
introspection, Param Poojya Swamiji was inspired to
undertake a Kailash- Yatra. The historic year of this
pilgrimage was 1956 and its pinnacle was the glorious
darshan Swamiji had of the holy Atmalinga. This choice
Blessing, conferred by the Almighty on such a worthy
recipient as Poojya Swamiji, sparked off an intense
awareness of the depth and power of sannyasa. At that
overwhelming turning point, in that immortal moment, all
walls melted, all differences vanished, making His pure
and unsullied Self merge effortlessly, become one with the
Supreme. Now, Swamiji had just one desire ... "to be only
in Silence .. .in the Mahamouna that fills and overflows
from the vibrant Chidakasha of Kailash."
The Grace and Intuition conferred upon Poojya Swamiji
by this momentous experience led Him to Shri Swami
Nrsimha Giriji Maharaj- the Master. He had been seeking
so ardently! Shri Swami Nrsimha Giriji Maharaj
graciously ordained Him into the "Paramahansa Sannyasa
Order" of Shri Adi Shankaracharya. Thereafter, He taught
Him Vedanta personally, as well as through His other
disciples, at the Shri Dakshinamoorty Math. When Shri
Swami Nrsimha Giriji Maharaj left the pontificate to retire
into solitude, Swamiji was free to follow His own calling,
to seek His own destination. That is when Parashakti, the
Divine Mother, inspired Him to go to Mount Abu.
In order to derive spiritual sensitivity,
we expose ourselves to the influence of Nature.
