With the ever-flowing blessings of Sathguru Maharaj, GSS USA is thrilled to announce the release of a landmark book, commemorating the 50th Aradhana of Sathguru Gnanananda Giri Swami and the 30th Maha Puja of Swami Haridhos Giri. This book is the first of its kind, focusing on the life and legacy of Swami Haridhos Giri, affectionately known as Guruji.
Authored by Bhagavatha Sironmani Sri. Kalyanasundaram (fondly called Kalli Mama), who spent over four decades with Guruji, this book offers an intimate portrayal of Guruji's spiritual journey. Guruji lived for more than 25 years at Kalli Mama’s residence, the renowned “Guruji Illam” in Lloyd's Road, Chennai.
Dedicated to the millions across all seven continents who have been touched by Guruji’s mesmerizing Namasankirtana, the book is also for those who have not met him in person but appreciate the significance of Nama Ruchi and spiritual upliftment. Spanning 24+ chapters and over 250 pages, Kalli Mama takes readers on a celestial journey, illustrating how Guruji revived and popularized Namasankirtana (Dakshina Sampradaya Bhajans) globally from 1969 to 1994.
Guruji is celebrated as the pioneer behind the revival of Namasankirtana. His tireless efforts and dedication led to its widespread acceptance and practice around the world. Today, many great Bhagavatas and Namasankirtana leaders credit Guruji for its global reach and influence. This heartfelt book, written from Kalli Mama’s deep reverence, captures the divine period of Guruji's time on Earth until his Jala Samadhi on September 4, 1994.
This simple yet profound book is a MUST-read for all spiritual seekers and Namasankirtana enthusiasts, offering a glimpse into the life of a true spiritual luminary and the profound impact of his work.
