Swami Shri Gangeshwaranandji Maharaj was truly a the unique personality of the last century. Words would prove inadequate to evaluate His contribution in the field of religion and philosophy in general and in the field of the Vedas in particular. He has commented upon the mantras of all the four Vedas and his unique interpretation of Satvatapaksa has attracted the attention of common man and Scholars alike.

Those who came in His contact were very fortunate. They have experienced that His presence was purifying, His words were inspiring, His teachings had everlasting effects, His blessings were more than enough to liberate and His grace has made any one worthy of “the descend of divine.” He was all-illuminating like the Sun and all-supporting like the Earth. He was all-pleasing like a gentle wind and His love was all encompassing like the sky. His teachings had quenched the thirst of all for the knowledge like holy water of Ganga. Those who had experienced His blessings even today find themselves in the seventh heaven.

Swamiji’s love for Indian Culture was immeasurable. Without bearing witness to Swamiji’s greatness, one would easily refuse to believe that a man without eyesight has walked on this earth in flesh and blood and contributed to this extent in the field of the VEDAS.

Bhagwan Ved, the unique edition of all the four Vedas in one Volume is, in fact, a blessing to humanity in general and to Hindus in particular.

I express my deep sense of gratitude to my Gurudev whose “Choicest blessings” are always being showered upon me and my family. May all be happy and enjoy peaceful life with good health and great devotion to the Lord and their Gurudev.
