This is your friendly storytelling monk welcoming you to his latest edition—the blog. Here we will explore the practical aspects of spirituality, as taught by the lineage of Kriya Yoga masters and my own guru, Paramahamsa Hariharananda (1907-2002).
Here is a space to discuss how people in various ages, places, religions, and cultures have always dealt with various issues by relying on the strength of their faith and devotion, the development of their intuition through prayer and meditation, the guidance of sages and scriptures, and the grace of God.
All religions are treated with the same respect, but only their more practical and open-minded aspects will be presented—religious controversies, sectarian disputes, and fanatic views are not entertained. As Jonathan Swift once said, We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another.
Now more than ever is the time to build and share an all-encompassing love, for a change! This is the philosophy of the Hariharananda Mission West's and the Ark of Love's philosophy.
We hope you will join us in this adventure.
Blessings,
Swamiji

Dear Swamiji,
Indeed, a very fruitful prospect ! And a lifetime job for many of our children, I hope.
You remember Montaigne lived in the middle of the Religious wars in the 16th Century France. Not only did he write in his famous Essays :
"I cannot persuade myself that we should promote our religion by the means of weapons", but he acted as a diplomat to enhance the peace projects between the two Kings at war. And finally succeeded... for a time.
A pretty fine example of what can be thought upon, in this period of New Year's wishes, isn'it ?
