Revered Swami Ji
It has been one year since I first arrived at ananda at Gurgaon temple. Before that a friend gave me Autobiography of a Yogi and in course of reading the book I yearned to learn Kriya Yoga mentioned several times in the book. Within few days I was at anada and now I am a kriyaban. It has been immensely beneficial year for me. I thank you from the core of my heart. I wish you many happy returns of the day. Happy Birthday.
It is indeed our good fortune to have you in a physical body, guiding us towards light. Please do not underestimate the need of many more souls who still require you in your dynamic physicality. Kindly keep shining as a light house guiding wayward souls to their destination. We need you more now, than we ever did before.
My heartfelt wishes on your Birthday. May God and Guru continue to bless you, Swamiji, for being a daily part of my life, in the form of your wonderful inspirational words of wisdom, which have helped immensely to keep me focused on the Spiritual path/journey for several years now.
I pray that I may have the good fortune to personally touch your blessed feet in this life time and thank you from my heart and soul for all that you stand for and are.
Many Many Happy Returns Of The Day, Swamiji.
Namaste.
Many happy returns of the day, Swamiji. Your birthday is a blessed day for all of us. I cannot thank you enough for introducing me to Master and to God. The day I learned about Ananda was really a turning point for me; my life found a new direction and meaning.
Thank you even more for being such a perfect example of discipleship and selfless service, Swamiji. I bow in reverence to you and pray for the grace that I too may live in a way that reflects the light of God in some way.
Happy Birthday, Swamiji.
We thank you for your discipleship’s example end for all you have done to bring Master’s teachings around the world. May Divine Mother bless you forever.
In Master’s love.
Medhavati, Dayalan end all Ananda Roma People
I feel lot of happiness on your Birthday! Please accept my heart-felt wishes on your birthday.
I just keep on wondering on your multifaceted personality and your humble services on Yoganadaji’s teachings. I always make it a point to listen to one of your discourses before going to sleep. It gives me a lot of insight into the life. I would like to meet you when I visit India in Jan or Feb of the 2011. Right now I am working in Seychelles.
I humbly salute you for your untiring works and your ambition to spread Kriya Yoga in India, the homeland of Yoganandaji.
Happy Birthday and many blessings to you. Thank you for your devoted service to God and guru, enriching the lives of countless others through your blessed work. Thank you for all that you have done for me. Aum, Peace Amen.
We are so blessed that you have graced us with your presence for 84 years and hopefully more to come.
I love your work and you have done Master proud.
One of my greatest prayer is to have your darshan and be present at your Satsangh. One of my endeavour is to do seva for Ananda Sangha.
Bless you Nayaswamiji and happy birthday
With Much Love
Devidasan
Dearest Swamiji,
Thank you for all your guidance through the years. You example of discipleship and spiritual friendship. You are our guiding star, bringing us home to our home in God.
Blessings and Happy Birthday,
Hanuman
Many many happy returns of the day Swamiji. Your life has been an example for the rest of us but it is a tough act to follow. God bless you for having shared our beloved Paramahansa Yogananda’s teachings to the world. As I write this, I feel tremendous love for you as I love Yoganandaji. By the way, my birthday is on 18thMay and I feel happy to know that I am also a taurean like you. Please pray for me that I can atleast achieve 10 pct of what you have.
Happy Birthday Dear SwamiJi!!!!!!!!
May you live as long as your disciples want(ha ha ha that will be thousands and thousands of years) and spread the message of BABAJI and GURUDEVA…….
I have never met you my Dear Friend and yet the Light that you transmit via Master has clearly made it’s way to me through the many lives you have touched. Happy birthday! May 19th is a significant date for me as well; it’s the first time I’ve made the connection. May the Masters always shine their light through you.
Your dedication, determination, and demonstrative devotion is a blessing to all, the blind and the wise. What beauty continues to flow the East via the the Kriya lineage- from Babaji, to Yoganandaji, sprinkling seeds of splendor that is blossoming saintly men and women like yourself. East and West is gradually merging, in Divine joy, thanks in part to Ananda and your efforts that invokes gratitious inspiration.
Swamiji,
I am a new member of Ananda, as Dharmadevi introduced me earlier this year. Although I haven’t had the honor of personally meeting you, I do feel you, Master, & Ananda in my heart very deeply. You have certainly changed my life for the better in the last few months with your teachings! I am continually blessed that Ananda now flows through my life, as my only way of life! I wish you a very Happy Birthday this day and many more to come. May God bless you always.
Love to you,
Lakshmi, La Vonda Young~

Please accept my sincere love, devotion and best wishes for your continued well-being on the Path.
Your autograph is a treasure and a fountain of divine vibration. Thank you; His bliss be yours now and forever and unto ages of ages.
Swamiji, I feel I’ve been karmically guided to find you and Ananda. I live in Michigan and have only been in California three times, but one of those times was July 4, 1969, when you signed the papers to purchase the Ananda property. I was 13 and still have my Disneyland 4th of July flag pin from that day. Our paths may cross again, but in the meantime, I thank you for the Ananda website and helping me find my true home with master…and may you continue to guide lost souls home!
I cherish the memory of our meeting last summer and
look forward to meeting you again – if all this is
in Divine order. Any other wish would be in the realm
of the mundane & beyond my prerogative.!!
WITH ALL MY LOVE, I remain.
I have enjoyed your books on CD daily since last fall. The Earth is a better place for your incarnation. Thank you for your service and Divine Love – have a blessed birthday. I look forward to meeting you in August.
Bless you, Swamiji, and Happy Birthday! Your writings have been incredibly beneficial to my spirit. I am so grateful for your work and for Ananda. May God hold you in the palms of His hands.
Because of your dedication and attunement with Master, so many are blessed to be part of Ananda and to learn the many techniques that Yogananda brought to America. It is with heartfelt Love, deep Gratitude and endless Appreciation that the devotees in Dallas, TX wish you a wonderful birthday. Thank you for allowing us the privilege to serve Master’s work through the Ananda Center of Dallas.

Dear Swami,
Isn’t this a clever way to send Birthday Greetings? I hope you like it…however, if I could send roses, I’d be sending you dozens & dozens of them too!! At the top of our comment box it says not to send you any HTML; so, I hope I’m not sending you any of those…whatever they are!!
Most of all I want to send you my deepest appreciation for all that you’ve given. More and more I’m realizing who you are, and more and more I hope to deepen my attunement and dedication to you and Master. Jai Guru, victoria
Sending you all our love (and cwafee) from Ananda Portland. Looking forward to seeing you soon.
In Master’s Joy,
Daiva and Gangamata for your family here.

Poojya Swamiji,
My most humble greetings on this auspicious day.
We pray that you remain with us forever and ever, guiding and leading us towards God-consciousness.
When I read The Path, most mornings, I open a page at random, and find that something therein applies to my current situation and it invariably offers a solution.
I wish I could meet you, God willing, I will.
I am a humble follower and a devotee of Sri Devadas Rao, my Guruji, Shree Shakti Darshan Ashram, Kinnigoli, Karnataka State.
Dear swamiji,
iam new to your fold of kriyayoga.i came to know you through your work “Revelations of christ” book,which is given to me by my friend Mr.Geet about three weeks back.I am going through the book. However,though it is bit difficult for a lay man like me to understand the purpose of the creation (MAYA) before,now & in future, the word SANAATANA DHARMA is making me more inquisitive. I wish let SANAATANA DHARMA prevail and souls,who are striving steadfastly for it live long.
Today, Swamiji, on your birthday, we pray that all your life purposes will be fulfilled, that all your seva will have the lasting results that Divine Mother intends, that your inner freedom will be confirmed, that Master will “make permanent your gains.”
Thank you for being the channel of divine blessings and opportunities to serve that make our lives worthwhile.
Swamiji-
Happy Birthday!
Thank you hardly seems a big enough word to express all that I feel for you and the gift you have given to me. My life was changed the first time I heard your message, and I am forever grateful to you.
May God and Guru continue to bless your path.
With great love and thanks,
Jenny
I WISH SWAMI YOGANAND JI BLESS YOU TO CARRY ON AND SPREAD HIS MESSAGE OF UNIVERSAL LOVE AND BONDING AND AMALGATION OF BEST OF EAST AND WEST (UNION OF SPRITUAL AND MATERIAL PROGRESS). I THINK THIS IS THE MOST DESIRABLE NEED OF PRESENT TIMES.
Dear Swamiji,
Happy birthday in God and Guru. There are no words in any language to express my heartfelt gratitude for all you do for this world, and for each one of us as your spiritual family. I pray for your health and strength.
With deep love,
Liladevi

“There are times when a human being, though perhaps not remarkable in himself, encounters some extraordinary person or event that infuses his life with great meaning.” –The New Path
This is how we feel about you, Swamiji. Our lives have been infused with such deep meaning through your service to Master. Words cannot describe our gratitude but yours above do a pretty good job!

May this year brings you closer to God and Guru.
Marga
Many blessings to you on your birthday. Thank you for your shining example of discipleship and service to our Beloved Master and his mission. Your life, example and teachings are an inspiration.
Many years ago I had a dream in which a man was reading a letter dictated for me by Guruji. It instructed me to explore your work and Ananda as both would help me to deepen my attunement with Yoganandaji and get me past a rather dry spell I was having in my spiritual life.
I was quite new on the path back then and remember being very rigid and resisting the idea – “Who is this Donald Walters fellow?!” I remember thinking as I bought your audio recording of Autobiography of a Yogi.
That was ten years ago and I am very greatful to that dream, to Ananda and of course to your good self for the years of inspiration, sound advice and joy which have flowed to me through your many books and recordings.
My life has been all the richer for your words of wisdom and just knowing you are there, somewhere in the world, always makes me smile.
God bless you and may you enjoy a Very Happy Birthday!
We can never offer our gratitude enough, but it’s fun to try to anyway. What would life be with out our Swamiji? We are your spiritual children and VERY grateful for that honor. Happy Birthday!
Dearest Swami,
Wishing you a wonderful birthday and the depth of a devotees wish to be heard; “God, Alone: God Alone! Thank you in gratitude, Swami. We are looking foward to your visit to Ananda Village again this summer.
In Masters love,
The Hollimans,
Chandi and Joel
Of course I have to wish you Happy Belated Birthday. I just found out it was your birthday. You do not know me yet (in this life anyway), but I’m pretty sure that by me listening to your audiobooks for countless hours this year, your faith and teachings of your great guru has saved my life! I truly believe that from the bottom of my heart! Your energy is incredible!!! I can’t wait to finally meet you this Summer…it would be such an honor. I hope you had a happy and peaceful birthday. I am blessed just by you being in this world the same time as me. May God continue to bless you for all eternity.
Oh, Swamiji, thank you so much for incarnating, staying around this long, and helping us so much! Thanks for sharing so much Divine love, and awakening that in our hearts. May God and Master bless you with Bliss overflowing. In joy, Tyagi Dambara
Happy Birthday beloved Swamaji!
Thank you for the spiritual abundance you have brought to my life!
Your dedication to our Guru’s teachings is awe inspiring as are your writings and talks. Thank you for your love, wisdom and shining light!
Belatedly, Byasa and I, also, wish to send our blessings and love for your new year. You are always in our prayers and often in our thoughts. Your willingness to do this lifetime has saved many a life (including mine) and raised many a soul out of the darkness. Thank you!
You are a light unto the world!

It has been one year since I first arrived at ananda at Gurgaon temple. Before that a friend gave me Autobiography of a Yogi and in course of reading the book I yearned to learn Kriya Yoga mentioned several times in the book. Within few days I was at anada and now I am a kriyaban. It has been immensely beneficial year for me. I thank you from the core of my heart. I wish you many happy returns of the day. Happy Birthday.
Wishing you a very happy birthday from everyone in South Africa. May Master shower you with blessings!

Thank you and a very happy birthday to you.

Happy Birthday Swamiji,
It is indeed our good fortune to have you in a physical body, guiding us towards light. Please do not underestimate the need of many more souls who still require you in your dynamic physicality. Kindly keep shining as a light house guiding wayward souls to their destination. We need you more now, than we ever did before.
As Adano Ley used to tell us . . .”Happy 84th revolution”. Swamiji – You are truly a blessing to us all, your love and joy is wonderfully contagious.
wish swamiji a very very happy birthday. i start all my important ventures with the thought his blessings are with me.
Respected Swamiji,
My heartfelt wishes on your Birthday. May God and Guru continue to bless you, Swamiji, for being a daily part of my life, in the form of your wonderful inspirational words of wisdom, which have helped immensely to keep me focused on the Spiritual path/journey for several years now.
I pray that I may have the good fortune to personally touch your blessed feet in this life time and thank you from my heart and soul for all that you stand for and are.
Many Many Happy Returns Of The Day, Swamiji.

Many happy returns of the day, Swamiji. Your birthday is a blessed day for all of us. I cannot thank you enough for introducing me to Master and to God. The day I learned about Ananda was really a turning point for me; my life found a new direction and meaning.
Thank you even more for being such a perfect example of discipleship and selfless service, Swamiji. I bow in reverence to you and pray for the grace that I too may live in a way that reflects the light of God in some way.
Happy Birthday, Swamiji.

Dear Respected Swamiji,
I feel lot of happiness on your Birthday! Please accept my heart-felt wishes on your birthday.
I just keep on wondering on your multifaceted personality and your humble services on Yoganadaji’s teachings. I always make it a point to listen to one of your discourses before going to sleep. It gives me a lot of insight into the life. I would like to meet you when I visit India in Jan or Feb of the 2011. Right now I am working in Seychelles.
I humbly salute you for your untiring works and your ambition to spread Kriya Yoga in India, the homeland of Yoganandaji.
Best Wishes Sir,
I remain,
Ravichandrran Iyer
Om Jai Guru
Happy Birthday and many blessings to you. Thank you for your devoted service to God and guru, enriching the lives of countless others through your blessed work. Thank you for all that you have done for me. Aum, Peace Amen.
We are so blessed that you have graced us with your presence for 84 years and hopefully more to come.
I love your work and you have done Master proud.
One of my greatest prayer is to have your darshan and be present at your Satsangh. One of my endeavour is to do seva for Ananda Sangha.
Bless you Nayaswamiji and happy birthday
With Much Love

God bless you for having shared our beloved Paramahansa Yogananda’s teachings to the world. As I write this, I feel tremendous love for you as I love Yoganandaji. By the way, my birthday is on 18thMay and I feel happy to know that I am also a taurean like you. Please pray for me that I can atleast achieve 10 pct of what you have.
Your birth brought happiness to many lives.
Happy birthday Swami.

Happy Birthday Dear SwamiJi!!!!!!!!
May you live as long as your disciples want(ha ha ha that will be thousands and thousands of years) and spread the message of BABAJI and GURUDEVA…….
I have never met you my Dear Friend and yet the Light that you transmit via Master has clearly made it’s way to me through the many lives you have touched. Happy birthday! May 19th is a significant date for me as well; it’s the first time I’ve made the connection. May the Masters always shine their light through you.
Swami Kriyanandaji,
Your dedication, determination, and demonstrative devotion is a blessing to all, the blind and the wise. What beauty continues to flow the East via the the Kriya lineage- from Babaji, to Yoganandaji, sprinkling seeds of splendor that is blossoming saintly men and women like yourself. East and West is gradually merging, in Divine joy, thanks in part to Ananda and your efforts that invokes gratitious inspiration.
Happy Birthday, friend.
Joy to you

Swamiji, I feel I’ve been karmically guided to find you and Ananda. I live in Michigan and have only been in California three times, but one of those times was July 4, 1969, when you signed the papers to purchase the Ananda property. I was 13 and still have my Disneyland 4th of July flag pin from that day. Our paths may cross again, but in the meantime, I thank you for the Ananda website and helping me find my true home with master…and may you continue to guide lost souls home!
Respected Swamiji,
I cherish the memory of our meeting last summer and
look forward to meeting you again – if all this is
in Divine order. Any other wish would be in the realm
of the mundane & beyond my prerogative.!!
WITH ALL MY LOVE, I remain.
Happy Birthday, Swami

Isn’t this a clever way to send Birthday Greetings? I hope you like it…however, if I could send roses, I’d be sending you dozens & dozens of them too!! At the top of our comment box it says not to send you any HTML; so, I hope I’m not sending you any of those…whatever they are!!
Most of all I want to send you my deepest appreciation for all that you’ve given. More and more I’m realizing who you are, and more and more I hope to deepen my attunement and dedication to you and Master. Jai Guru, victoria

Poojya Swamiji,
My most humble greetings on this auspicious day.
We pray that you remain with us forever and ever, guiding and leading us towards God-consciousness.
When I read The Path, most mornings, I open a page at random, and find that something therein applies to my current situation and it invariably offers a solution.
I wish I could meet you, God willing, I will.
I am a humble follower and a devotee of Sri Devadas Rao, my Guruji, Shree Shakti Darshan Ashram, Kinnigoli, Karnataka State.
Dear swamiji,
iam new to your fold of kriyayoga.i came to know you through your work “Revelations of christ” book,which is given to me by my friend Mr.Geet about three weeks back.I am going through the book. However,though it is bit difficult for a lay man like me to understand the purpose of the creation (MAYA) before,now & in future, the word SANAATANA DHARMA is making me more inquisitive. I wish let SANAATANA DHARMA prevail and souls,who are striving steadfastly for it live long.
I wish you a very Happy Birthday day through which Yogananda is carrying out his work.
Regards
Jaydip
Today, Swamiji, on your birthday, we pray that all your life purposes will be fulfilled, that all your seva will have the lasting results that Divine Mother intends, that your inner freedom will be confirmed, that Master will “make permanent your gains.”

Happy Birthday, dear Swamiji. You too, are The Way Shower, for us.
In deepest gratitude for your life,
Nayaswami Maria.
Celebrating your life is for me a call to deepen my attunement and commitment to knowing God in this lifetime and to serve as His channel of blessing that you model daily. I am so deeply grateful for the gift of your life Swamiji. May freedom be yours NOW. Love, Jyoti
Dearest Swamiji,
My life has been profoundly changed by your friendship and guidance. It is truly not possible to express thanks for what you have given to me and to so many others. May you experience God’s presence ever more completely in this coming year and may God bless you with the health and strength you need to complete what you have been given to do in this life. Gdo bless you.

Dear Swamiji,
Many years ago I had a dream in which a man was reading a letter dictated for me by Guruji. It instructed me to explore your work and Ananda as both would help me to deepen my attunement with Yoganandaji and get me past a rather dry spell I was having in my spiritual life.
I was quite new on the path back then and remember being very rigid and resisting the idea – “Who is this Donald Walters fellow?!” I remember thinking as I bought your audio recording of Autobiography of a Yogi.
That was ten years ago and I am very greatful to that dream, to Ananda and of course to your good self for the years of inspiration, sound advice and joy which have flowed to me through your many books and recordings.
My life has been all the richer for your words of wisdom and just knowing you are there, somewhere in the world, always makes me smile.
God bless you and may you enjoy a Very Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Swami ji. I am greatful Master lead my life to you and the Ananda community. Blessings and Joy to you.
We can never offer our gratitude enough, but it’s fun to try to anyway. What would life be with out our Swamiji? We are your spiritual children and VERY grateful for that honor. Happy Birthday!
In Master’s love,
Savitri and Sudarshan
Dear Swamiji,

Dearest Swamiji,
Of course I have to wish you Happy Belated Birthday. I just found out it was your birthday. You do not know me yet (in this life anyway), but I’m pretty sure that by me listening to your audiobooks for countless hours this year, your faith and teachings of your great guru has saved my life! I truly believe that from the bottom of my heart! Your energy is incredible!!! I can’t wait to finally meet you this Summer…it would be such an honor. I hope you had a happy and peaceful birthday. I am blessed just by you being in this world the same time as me. May God continue to bless you for all eternity.
Oh, Swamiji, thank you so much for incarnating, staying around this long, and helping us so much! Thanks for sharing so much Divine love, and awakening that in our hearts. May God and Master bless you with Bliss overflowing. In joy, Tyagi Dambara
