Geeta Sugeeta Kartavya
The Bhagavad Geeta is the soul of Indian culture. It is not only the essence of Indian tradition but also the spiritual core of human society and a guiding source for human evolution. The Srimad Bhagavad Geeta has the power to foster the growth of humanity, cultivate divine qualities within individuals, and convey the message of universal brotherhood and oneness across the world.
The Bhagavad Geeta is not merely a religious text; it is one of the most magnanimous and timeless works dedicated to the upliftment of human society. God Himself speaks of the Geeta, saying, 'Geeta Me Hridayam'—the Geeta is My heart. The Geeta is truly the heart of God. With this understanding, we should read the Geeta with reverence and inspire children to cultivate a sincere dedication to it.
The Bhagavad Geeta is a sovereign spiritual text of great significance. It is not only intended for sages, saints, and seekers, but also offers every individual the essential guidance needed to build a meaningful life. May the chanting of the Geeta echo in every home through the voices of children. Let all strive to follow the spiritual principles enshrined in the Geeta. Indeed, the Bhagavad Geeta gives true fulfillment to life.
With the aim of inspiring every household to study the Geeta, encouraging young children to take interest in it, integrating its teachings into daily life, and guiding everyone toward a beautiful and purposeful existence, Prajnana Mission has been conducting the State-level Geeta Chanting Competition since 2017 and the Geeta Jnana Pariksha (Knowledge Test) since 2020.

Geeta Jnana Pariksha
While learning to chant the Bhagavad Geeta is essential for preserving its sacred rhythm and pronunciation, it is equally important to understand the profound message it conveys. Chanting nurtures discipline, memory, and devotion, but true transformation comes from internalizing the teachings.
The Geeta offers timeless wisdom on how to live a righteous life, perform one's duties with detachment, cultivate inner peace, and realize the divine Self. Therefore, along with recitation, sincere reflection and understanding of its meaning must be encouraged—especially among the youth—for the Geeta to truly unfold its power in our lives.

Paramahamsa Hariharananda:
A River of Compassion
Early Life and Spiritual Beginnings
Gurudev Paramahamsa Hariharananda was born as Rabindranath on May 27, 1907, in Bengal, India, into a spiritually inclined family. From an early age, Rabi was immersed in religious teachings and rituals, learning the sacred pooja mantras and beginning his spiritual journey under the guidance of his father, who initiated him at the age of eight. Despite his profound spiritual aspirations, Rabi excelled academically and went on to become a textile engineer, showcasing a balanced blend of worldly and spiritual pursuits.
Initiation into Kriya Yoga
Rabi's life took a significant turn when he met Sri Bijaya Krishna Chattopadhyay, a realized master who directed him to Swami Shriyukteshwar Giri, an eminent Kriya Yoga teacher. Under Swami Shriyukteshwar's guidance, Rabi was initiated into the sacred path of Kriya Yoga and continued his intensive sadhana under his master's direct mentorship.
Sadhana and Siddhi
In 1932, Rabi made the life-altering decision to move to Puri, renouncing worldly attachments to deepen his spiritual practice. Following the mahasamadhi of Swami Shriyukteshwarji, Rabi's sadhana was further enriched by the guidance of other great Kriya Yoga masters, including Paramahamsa Yogananda, Swami Satyananda Giri, and Sri Sanyal Mahasaya, from whom he learned advanced Kriya Yoga techniques. During his years of deep spiritual practice, he received blessings from notable spiritual figures such as Totapuri Maharaj and Anandamayi Ma. His devotion and relentless practice culminated in the attainment of nirvikalpa samadhi—the highest state of consciousness—and divine visions of Mother Kali and Mahavatar Babaji.
Sanyaasa
Swami Bharati Krishna Tirtha, the Shankaracharya of Puri, initiated Rabi into the path of sannyasa, bestowing upon him the monastic name Swami Hariharananda Giri. With a profound sense of duty, Gurudev Hariharananda began teaching Kriya Yoga to sincere seekers, guiding them toward self-realization and spiritual fulfillment.
Spreading Kriya Yoga Westward
In 1974, Gurudev embarked on a monumental journey to the West, bringing the sacred teachings of Kriya Yoga to Europe and the Americas. His travels marked a new era of spiritual outreach as he founded ashrams in Austria, the Netherlands, and the USA. These centers served as sanctuaries for individuals to learn and practice Kriya Yoga meditation, fostering communities for spiritual growth.
Inspiring Kriya Practice
Beyond establishing ashrams, Gurudev's mission inspired the creation of numerous meditation centers, promoting group meditation and collective spiritual practice. His public talks, writings, and interviews resonated with practical insights into the path of yoga, offering guidance and wisdom to countless souls worldwide. His enlightening books and discourses became valuable resources for those seeking deeper understanding.
Tireless Seva
As a true spiritual luminary, Gurudev tirelessly served humanity, dedicating his life to uplifting people in all aspects. He personally initiated thousands into Kriya Yoga and guided them along their spiritual paths. His teachings and exemplary life set an enduring standard for his students and his successor, Paramahamsa Prajnanananda, who continues to spread Gurudev's loving message to the world.
Inspiration Beyond Mahasamadhi
Paramahamsa Hariharananda's legacy is alive in the hearts of his students and through the continued work of Paramahamsa Prajnanananda. His journey stands as a testament to a life devoted to the betterment of humanity, embodying divine love, wisdom, and selfless service. Gurudev's mission continues to inspire and guide countless individuals toward inner peace and spiritual enlightenment, even beyond his mahasamadhi in 2002.

Known for his unwavering dedication and kindness, he embodied the spirit of love and service toward his family and community. His spiritual inclination was evident, and as a student, he ardently sought a master who could guide his inner quest. This longing was fulfilled when he encountered his master, Paramahamsa Hariharananda, and was initiated into the sacred path of Kriya Yoga.
Academic Excellence & Spiritual Quest
Despite his deep spiritual pursuits, Triloki excelled academically, earning a master's degree in economics. He began his career as a lecturer, teaching economics while simultaneously dedicating himself to serving his master and absorbing his profound teachings. Recognizing his dedication and spiritual growth, Gurudev ordained Triloki as a Yogacharya, authorizing him to teach Kriya Yoga.
