year, in 1978, he came. After that, in 1979, Paramahamsa Niranjanananda came, and after that Paramahamsa Satyananda came almost every year.
So, with the inspiration of Paramahamsa Satyananda and Paramahamsa Niranjanananda, it was a natural course of events that yoga would spread like wild fire in Greece as he had told me before I left Bihar School of Yoga. More and more Greek people came forward to take poorna sannyasa and karma sannyasa. It was not long before there was a large number of people around to help me with the work there. From a small flat, we moved to a slightly larger flat, then to a larger one and finally, after seven moves, we settled in the area where the ashram is now, in Paiania.
At the time when we found the property in Paiania, Paramahamsaji was in Spain. So, I called him on the telephone and he wanted to know every single detail. Our conversation lasted about three to four hours. After hearing all the details about the new-found place, he said, “Yes, okay, you can get it." Gradually people from Romania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia also started coming to learn yoga and then they invited me over there. Today, they are teaching yoga there themselves, and the system which they use is that of Bihar School of Yoga.
On closing I would like to share some thoughts of mine with you. Paramahamsa Niranjanananda is moving according to the sign of Aquarius, the water-bearer. We have seen this quality manifested with the pouring rain on the first day. Also when I saw the musical fountain that he has built in honor of his guru in Ganga Darshan for this jubilee, and when I saw the display of lights, I thought this represents Paramahamsa Niranjanananda's spirit and compassion.
