Yogirajadhiraj Swami Vishuddhanand Paramahansadeva Life and Philosophy

Description

Yogirajadhiraj Swami Vishuddhanand Paramahansadeva Life and Philosophy Paul Brunton, a British Journalist, has, in his book A Search in Secret India, stated about Baba as under – “One of the most impressive amongst Yogis of this twentieth century is Yogiraj Shri Vishuddhanand Paramahansa (1853-1937). The Yogiraj’s seemingly unscientific and illogical miracles are, in fact, genuine yogic siddhis. It was, in fact, at first very difficult for my mind, trained in logic and the physical science and believing implicitly only in the rational order of the universe, to accept the reality of such apparently irrational phenomena. Yet inwardly I felt, from the elevating splendour of his presence, that the yogiraj was by no means an imposter and that I had witnessed genuine miracles. Along with miraculous powers, went deep love, compassion and the God-knowledge that opens the door to a new elevated vision of life. He had the wonderful powers of the Holy Spirit, the Power of purity which liberates the soul, gives man control over the whole of nature and shows God into him.”

The book describes a few of his numberless miracles relating to subjects like-travel through space; bringing back the dead to life; converting one form of matter into another; producing scents, sweets and fruits; seeing things far distant; multiplying small amount of food etc. into large quantities; appearing simultaneously in several distant places at the same instant; healing the sick and deformed; telepathy; clair-voyance; pre-cognition; power to read minds; to see through walls and go across them without hindrance; to foretell future events and even to mentally cause or change the motion of physical objects. These miracles go to prove his super-human powers by which he infused ‘Confidence in Divinity’ for the upliftment of society and alleviated its sufferings.
