Swami Gahanananda
What, perhaps, struck people most about Swami Gahanananda was his fearlessness and tranquillity. Join these with his keen observation and discriminating judgement, and one gets a small glimpse of the depths- gahana- of his personality. Monks and devotees who knew him a little closely were amazed to see his frugality in food and scant need for sleep. Their amazement was heightened, seeing Revered Maharaj’s boundless energy- at all times of day and night. What was the source of this indefatigable energy? It was not merely a regulated life that included daily exercise, not merely his meditation; no, it sprang from his absolute dependence on Sri Ramakrishna, Sri Sarada Devi, and Swami Vivekananda.
Maharaj was always impeccable in bearing and manners, and his carriage clearly marked him as one with authority. His pre-monastic name, Naresh­, Lord of men - also pointed towards this aspect of his personality. Organized and methodical, he was imperturbably patient when dealing with difficult people, and showed tenacious grit in the face of adversity. His actions and speech were controlled, announcing his self-mastery, but he reached out to people with warmth and humour, endearing them all to him.
