Dinabandhu Pramanick
This photo gallery is dedicated to Dinabandhu Pramanick, Sri Gswami’s closest disciple. He was a model of self-discipline and faithfulness, an accomplished Hatha Yogi with outstanding control over his body and its most intimate functions. Sustaining strict celibacy throughout a life he mainly spent by the side of his beloved guru, Dinabandhu Pramanick dedicated all of his time and energy to being a model of discipleship. The skilled yogi came to play a pivotal role in demonstrating Hatha Yoga’s high credentials as a pragmatic philosophy.
His life can honestly be described as that of someone who, in utmost modesty, reached the highest ideal in life, the ideal of a radiant, enduring human being, pure and vital – a deva deha in yogic parlance.
