This is Bhagawan Nityananda, supreme Avadhut and Siddha Guru of
Ganeshpuri, India.
For Swami Muktananda Paramahamsa, Bhagawan Nityananda was the
initiator, the inspiration and the peerless embodiment of spiritual perfection.
During Bhagawan's lifetime, thousands of people flocked to his ashram,
just to be in his presence.
They might sit for hours waiting for him to appear. It did not matter.
Bhagawan rarely spoke. It was not necessary.
What mattered and is well documented, is the transformation that occurred
in countless people's lives.
What is also deeply significant is that through Bhagawan
Nityananda's grace, Muktananda achieved liberation and succeeded his Guru
Siddha Guru and successor to his Guru.
And now, with Muktananda's passing; we have the gift of his co-successor,
Mahamandaleshwar Swami Nityananda.

"Om purnamadah purnamidam
purnat purnamudacate,
Purnasya purnamadaya
purnamevavasisyate."

Om. That is perfect. This is perfect. From the perfect springs the perfect.
If the perfect is taken from the perfect, the perfect remains.
