| As A Swami in Arya Samaj : |
| |
| The young seeker was formally initiated into Arya Samaj and became a renunciate. He became a monk of the Swami Order.Swami Satyanand Ji became a very powerful exponent of the Arya Samaj—a vibrant movement of reform among the Hindus. By now he was not only a firm believer in God, he also wanted to explore God much farther. His search for God became a passion with him. He extensively traveled for 25 years and gave powerful discourses on the Vedas. His lectures used to reflect a deep knowledge of the Vedas , Vedanta, Upanishads, the Mahabharata and the Ramayan. During this period, he wrote two books—Onkar Upasana and Shri Dayanand Prakash. His passion for God became deeper and deeper.

| How God Came to His Life : |
| |
In 1925, he resolved to go to a solitary place in search of God. He went to Dalhousie and chose to seek God in the sylvan surroundings of the Narwood Cottage (now known as the Param Dham Sri Ram Sharnam Ashram). He sat in rigorous penances in the pin-drop silence of the hills. His rig ours went on and on for a month with an occasional morsel from the food-bowl placed daily one time at the door of his Prayer Room. After about a month-long silent prayers and penances in the silence of the paradisaical hills, Swamiji got Enlightenment on July 7, 1925, that is, on the auspicious day of Guru Purnima or Vyas Pooja. He heard the Holy Name— “RAM” in an uncanny sound. He thought that some devotee of Ram had made this honeyed utterance. He closed his eyes and again heard the Enchanted Utterance: “RAM,RAM”. He was further ordained: “RAM BHAJ, RAM BHAJ, RAM, RAM”. These were no ordinary words of this mortal world. He was thrilled. He experienced fine tremors all over his being. Swamiji yearned for a face-to-face meeting. The Divine Voice relented and asked: “In which form will you like to see me?” To this Swamiji replied, “In your real Form. How can I dictate my Lord?” After this, the Divine Power appeared in the shape of the Holy Word— . The Divine Word appeared in the full Divine Refulgence, unmatched by the combined light of a thousand suns.It was highly dazzling. Later Swamiji tried to recapture it in the form of ‘Adhishthan’. Adhishthan can be called a close facsimile of the Divine Form seen by Swamiji Maharaj. |
