Guest guest Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 I recently read a tiny book entitled "The Whole Thing The Real Thing, a short biographical skectch about the life of Swami Shantanand Saraswati Maharaj (who was the guru of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who founded Transcendental Meditation). What was most inspirational to me of his many qualities as a seeker, was that he had an "Ideal of Perfection" that he was seeking, and yet he approached his search with a childlike heart, with wonderment, with an emptiness, with no hidden agenda, and suspending all judgement. And obviously, eventually, his search was met with fruitful abundance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 Swami Shantanand, I believe was the guru of Swami Brahmananda Saraswati and not of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Swami Brahmananda was Maharishi's guru. - kamalama_2002 Wednesday, September 17, 2003 5:06 AM Swamiji's question, re: An Important Attribute of a Seeker I recently read a tiny book entitled "The Whole Thing The Real Thing, a short biographical skectch about the life of Swami ShantanandSaraswati Maharaj (who was the guru of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who founded Transcendental Meditation).

I am referring to the small biography of Swami Brahmananda Saraswati. This book indicates that his guru was Swami Krishnanand Saraswati of Uttarkashi.
