August 10 marks the birthday of Shri Guruji, Paramahamsa Prajnanananda, a revered Kriya Yoga master and spiritual successor in the lineage of Paramahamsa Hariharananda. From a young age, he demonstrated deep spiritual inclination and devotion, eventually meeting his Guru, Paramahamsa Hariharananda (affectionately known as Shri Gurudev), whose guidance profoundly shaped his life. Under Gurudev’s close training, he embraced the path of disciplined practice, selfless service, and global teaching, later being entrusted with carrying the Kriya Yoga tradition forward. Today, Shri Guruji is known for his clarity, humility, and dedication to spreading meditation and inner transformation across the world. On this sacred day, we honor not only his birth, but his ongoing commitment to awakening consciousness and serving humanity through the timeless teachings of Kriya Yoga.
