Interviews - Paramhamsa Hariharananda "Baba"

From 1960 to 1974, Swami Hariharananda toured all over his beloved India to spread the message of Kriya Yoga.

Year 1974 marked his first journey to the West, where he would return every year and spread the message of Divine Love through conscious awareness of the God within. He travelled tirelessly all over the world until a few short years before his mahasamadhi (conscious final exit of the body to merge with God) in 2002 at age 95—Europe, South America, the United States, and Canada, where he founded numerous centers and ashrams.

The life of a spiritual master is characterized as plain living and high thinking, and the entire life of Paramahamsa Hariharananda had been exceptional in that way. His life's purpose had been simply to love and guide people. Whoever came to his touch always received love, affection, and regard.

Baba's Message

If you take short breaths, then you will live long. The elephant takes 3 breaths in one minute, so he lives 200 years. The alligator also, and the crocodile, tortoise, they are taking two to three breaths. Dogs are always running and taking many breaths, so they live only 12 years. So, to live long, control your breath.
