Swami
Lakshman Joo
It
is only when you met him, as I
did for an interview in 1971,
that you would feel his
irresistible charm emanating
from that sweet child-like
innocence which hid from our
naked eye his spiritual and
philosophic attainments.

language which is the
principal medium of his
poetic expression. He
regards it dearest to the
Mother Goddess.
