Papaji’s Biography
Testimonials
I have just read the biography of Papaji which is on your website which I found by accident, and felt very fortunate about it because it is so profound and it made me understand much better. And I watched a lot of Papaji’s Satsangs on YouTube and feel very much for him so I feel very blessed on my way to realize the truth to come in touch with Papaji, because he was the first one I saw who gave me an experience in my heart which is difficult to describe, and although he is no longer in his physical form, he is alive forever in my understanding.So thank you very very much and greetings from Germany.Pranams,
Chris
