Tribute to - Achariya Peter, also known as Swami Shankarananda


At 10:40 am Monday, November 24th, he left the body peacefully, with total stillness and purity of heart and consciousness. Every breath of his process, he remained totally intact, completely himself, outrageously good-humored, joyful and loving, an expression of pure devotion. And now that he has left the body, he is even more totally intact, completely himself, outrageously good-humored, joyful and loving, an expression of pure devotion. He is so purely with us and within us. 





Our beloved teacher did not focus on the past. He lived (and continues to live!) totally in the present, in bliss, in joy, in blessing. Nonetheless, he did mention biographical details to devotees over the years, enabling us to share the following.



He reminded me "I and the Father are one" - "what I do you can also do".. we have been created in the image of God. What is more.. Swami found joy and beauty in everyone and everything! My gratitude for his presence in my life knows no bounds.




I am outside the entrance of Divine Life Church of Baltimore - USA.
