Swami Ramananda Thoughts

Surrounding me on all sides is the Song of Creation. It is Beginingless and Endless. It is that undefinable oneness imprinted upon all things and dimly perceived through a veil of illusion called past, present and future. Within the Hidden Archives of Creation on layer after layer of Endless Cosmic Shelves, the Sacred manuscripts of God and man are stored. When you are prepared, you will understand. Be patient. Everything of True Value is learned only by great testing and great patience. In time perhaps, you too will know the Secrets that are kept Sacred by Mother Earth.
