Who are you?\u201d and in that moment Yogaswami was transfixed. \u201cThere is not one wrong thing!\u201d \u201cIt is as it is! Who knows?\u201d Sage Chellappan said, and suddenly the world vanished. After Chellappan\u2019s mah\u0101sam\u0101dhi in 1915, Yogaswami undertook five years of intense s\u0101dhana. Later, people of all walks of life, all nations, came for his dar\u015bana. He urged one and all to \u201cKnow thy Self by thyself.\u201d It was in his thatched, dung-floor hermitage in 1949 that we first met. I had just weeks before realized Para\u015biva with his inner help while meditating in the caves of Jalani. \u201cYou are in me,\u201d he said. \u201cI am in you,\u201d I responded. Later he ordained me \u201cSubramuniyaswami\u201d with a tremendous slap on the back, and with this d\u012bksh\u0101 sent me as a sanny\u0101sin to America, saying, \u201cYou will build temples. You will feed thousands.\u201d I was 22 at the time, and he was 77. In fulfillment of his orders have I, Sivaya Subramuniyaswami, composed these 155 \u015blokas and bh\u0101shyas, telling an infinitesimal fraction of all that he infused in me.
