Who was Anandamurtiji? Today Anandamurtiji is Ananda Marga; but before He left us – while He walked among us – who was He? This is a question which may tantalize philosophers for many years to come. For me, when I sit in the rooms where He once gave Darshan or took reports, I simply wonder how such a small space could contain Him. The very fact that He ever lived among us, like an ordinary human being, has become like some kind of dream to me. If I contemplate any simple scene of natural beauty, then invariably I see reflected there one or another of His distinctive mannerisms. A bird flutters its wings, and His hands are manifest. A fishing boat glides slowly down the river, and once more Baba is walking before me. Who was Anandamurtiji? First of all He was a man who, in His darkest hour on earth, could boldly declare: “I want to see sufficient change in every sphere of human existence while I am still in physical form.” And secondly, He was a man who could demand from His followers on the eve of His death the following oath: “All my energy, all my mind, all my thoughts, all my deeds are to be goaded unto the path of collective elevation of human society without neglecting other animate and inanimate objects right from this moment until the last point of my living on this earth.” To take an oath in all seriousness one must feel that the one who demands that oath is worthy to do so. Anandamurtiji earned the right to demand from us this oath by being the first person ever to live according to such a selfless and one-pointed code. At the very least Anandamurtiji was a man who was totally committed to a noble cause. As God, He established Himself as a man; and as a man, he established himself as God.
