The Multifaceted Swamin:
A Spiritual Orator :
Swamiji is a saint of infinite wisdom who speaks in a tone of absolute command.
His is a divine voice reverberating in a human form. He is an ocean of eloquence.
His thundering voice calls and challenges. His nectar-like words console, cajole
and convince. He knows how to put across his ideas in an appealing and entertaining
style. His speech is accentuated and rhythmic full of great enthusiasm and delight.
His broad-gauged speeches seem to be tuned to the needs of all - both the learned
and the lay, for they pertain to the inclinations, emotions and interests of the
variegated audiences. The talk flows with a graceful succession of sentences kindling
flames of love, devotion and dispassion in the hearts of the listeners. His speech
is jovial, sharp-witted, interspersed with jokes and anecdotes only to be highly
instructive. Occasional gales of laughter, cheers and applauses reverberate through
the spellbound audiences and the exulted and exuberant crowds throng him and make
his exit impossible after each speech. Swamiji has conducted 200 gyana yagnas so
far both in India and in abroad educating people at large on the intricacies of
Sanatana Dharma.
A Prolific Writer :
Swamiji’s literature strikes a chord that extends through the whole being of the
reader, touching his power of reasoning capacity, his devotional heart, his emotions
and sentiments and conveys its vibrations to his very bosom. His books are his voice,
his thought and his message. They make us heirs of the spiritual treasure of our
ancient rishis. Swamiji is the master of majestic prose. His analysis is exact,
logical and convincing. His style is brilliant and natural. It is instructive without
pedantry. Swamiji is the author of more than a hundred and fifty books both in Telugu
and in English. His expositions of Sri Sankara’s works are traditional, scientific
and logical and the epics of Ramayana, Bhagavata and Mahabharata are works of great
erudition and originality. Swamiji’s books are read, enjoyed and cherished, the
world over and perhaps in the field of spiritual literature Swamiji stands peerless
not only in that he has been the writer and publisher of the highest number of valuable
books but also of the best selling ones in the country.
A Divine Minstrel:
Swamiji is not only a singer but also a lyricis and a composer of beautiful music.
His poetry, which is of a pure, and melodious style flows gracefully like a limpid
stream enchanting the ears and capturing hearts. Swamiji did not study classical
music. He is not musically qualified but he is musically gifted. His music is somewhat
like the whistle of the wind, free and unrestrained. Swamiji’s songs are sweet like
nectar with verse after verse flowing in perfect rhythm, rhyme and meter; and the
depth of feeling in them is soul-stirring. His rich sonorous voice that has the
charm of the flute echoes with a subtle resonance in the heart of the listeners
transporting them to heights of celestial joy.
