Within a few months after this meet-ing, her desire to devote her life to the search forGod in the Guru's ashram was realized.The Master often said of Mrinalini Mata:"She has great work to do." Little did she dream,in those early years, that the strict training theGuru gave her would eventually lead to her pres-ent worldwide responsibilities.The name Mrinalini, given to the young nunby the Guru, signifies the exquisite purity of thelotus flower, untouched by the muddy waters ofits surroundings. It is her flawless grasp of theGuru's teachings, and her ability to reflect hisspirit so purely, that allow Mrinalini Mata to ac-complish the "great work" that has been en-trusted to her by the Guru.The Bhagavad-Gita describes an enlightened master in these words:"The Self shines forth like a sun in those who have banished ignorance bywisdom" (VI:16). It is the divine light of Paramahansa Yogananda's lifeand teachings which shines forth as the essence and inspiration of thisrecording.Paramahansa Yogananda was a world teacher who lived what hetaught, a true guru whose sole desire was to share God's wisdom and lovewith all. To this end he established Self-Realization Fellowship/YogodaSatsanga Society of India, to make available to all Truth-seekers the liberat-ing science of Kriya Yoga for direct personal communion with God.As a man of God and as an authority on Yoga,* Paramahansa Yoga-nanda has received the highest esteem, not only of his spiritual contem-poraries and the literary public in different parts of the world, but also ofhis native land, India.In March 1977, on the twenty-fifth anniversary of Paramahansa Yoga-nanda's mahasamadhi, the Government of India honored the Guru by issu-ing a commemorative stamp bearing his likeness. This beautiful tribute tothe Master acknowledged his far-reaching accomplishments, but it isthrough the words of other great souls that we are able to glimpse some-thing of the Guru's exalted spiritual stature. Swami Sivananda, founder ofthe Divine Life Society, Rishikesh, India, said: "A rare gem of inestimablevalue, the like of whom the world is yet to witness, Paramahansa Yoga-nanda has been an ideal representative of the ancient sages and seers, theglory of India." His Holiness the Shankaracharya of Kanchipuram, reveredspiritual leader of millions in South India, wrote of Paramahansaji: "As abright light shining in the midst of darkness, so was Yogananda's presencein this world. Such a great soul comes on earth only rarely, when there is areal need among men."The life and teachings of the great Guru continue to illumine the pathfor countless souls who attune themselves to his omnipresent love andblessings.''Master gave this definition of the guru:'The guru is the awakened God awakening thesleeping God in the disciple. Through sympathyand deep vision a true guru sees the Lord suffer-ing in the physically, mentally, and spirituallypoor, and that is why he feels it his joyous dutyto assist them. He tries to feed the hungry God inthe destitute, to stir the sleeping God in the ig-norant, to love the unconscious God in theenemy, and to wake the half-asleep God in theyearning devotee. And by a gentle touch of love,he instantaneously arouses the almost fullyawakened God in the advanced seeker. The guruis among all men the best of givers; like the LordHimself, his generosity knows no boundaries/""Gurudeva could well have been describinghimself. We saw that universal love, that univer-sal oneness with all life, and with all of suffer-ing humanity, in his form, in his actions, and inhis words.""The guru is omnipresent. Once Guruji saidto me, 'When I am no longer in this physicalform, though I won't be able to talk to you as Iam talking to you now, though you won't be ableto see me as you are seeing me now, rememberthis, I will know everything that you do, and Iwill know every thought that you think.' That isthe guru's promise; that is the guru's spiritualpledge and blessing to the disciple: 'From thismoment forward I take spiritual responsibility ofyour life, and I will watch over you.'""The guru has no ego. 'When this I shall die,then shall I know who am I.' In the guru that 'I'has died. There is only God." lp5170-AX
