    Rishikesh, 10 April 1956

     

    At tonight's Satsang was celebrated a very happy function to bid farewell to a great disciple of Swamiji “Swami Sahajananda" (formerly known as Sri Srinivasan) of Durban, who would be leaving tomorrow, having stayed here for two or three months. Swami Sahajananda had his initiation into the order of Sannyasa today in Swamiji's Kutir (Sri Gurudev's Kutir), when he acquired the new name.

    The function tonight was opened by Swamiji with Kirtan. This was followed by the reading and presentation of a Farewell Address to Swami Sahajanandaji. Swamiji then gave a twenty-minute speech bringing out the Divine qualities of Swami Sahajananda. Thereafter several inmates of the Ashram spoke, paying tributes to Swami Sahajananda for the various virtues he possessed. Swami Jyotirmayananda, Rev.
