________________
the completion of 50 years of his renunciation is to fulfill the vision of that great yogi.
In 1988, Paramahamsa Satyananda left Munger. At that time he took kshetra sannyasa and started on a pilgrimage through the siddha teerthasthanas (holy places) in India as a wandering mendicant, without any assistance from any of the ashrams and institutions he has founded. He has now entered into the lifestyle of the highest order of the paramahamsa sannyasins who do not work or meditate for their flock and mission alone but who have a vision of universal wellbeing. Longfellow, the great poet and thinker once said:
Lives of great nien all remind us We can make our life sublime, And departing, leave behind us
Foot prints on the sands of time. With these words let us all rededicate ourselves to the fulfillment of the great vision of Paramahamsa Satyananda.
