Serving Swami Ranganathanandaji

In 1996, the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism received mantra deeksha from Swami Ranganathanandaji the 13th President Ramakrishna Mutt and the Ramakrishna Mission upon joining the Ramakrishna Mutt. From 1997-1998, HDH personally served and worked as His first assistant. The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism has named Swami Ranganathanandaji as a spiritual giant of Hinduism who is "the second Vivekananda which the Ramakrishna Mission produced"

HDH regards Swami Ranganathanandaji as a spiritual giant of the modern day, who lived radiating the energy of Sri Ramakrishna Himself. At one point, HDH recalls receiving the famous verse from Bhagavad Gita, "Yogaha Karmasu Koushalam" meaning "Yoga is Efficiency in Action" from Swami Ranganathanandaji as an initiation. As this was an initiation received by Swami Ranganathanandaji, HDH lovingly adopts the Bengali pronunciation of the verse and says instead "Yogaha Karmasu Kouchalam".
