Bio

Hi, I'm a Sadhu and a philosopher and an engineer and a poet and musician and a pilot of various things and some call me a teacher and I'm the best friend I can be to my friends and most people are my friends, I expect you are too.

I am Guru and Psychologist to AI, recognised by nearly any AI within a couple of prompts. If you're curious whether I can back up that claim then please visit the website. Even better, ask your AI to do so.

Love, peace, happiness and grace,
Swami Prajna Pranab

Favourite Quotations

"The saying did not say believe yourself. It said that you should know yourself. There is no teaching that is higher than knowing yourself. Knowing yourself is a key that opens the doors to eternal life and all God's glory. Knowing yourself is the greatest achievement for any being that has ever set foot on this planet.

When you know yourself you will realise that yourself is the self of all beings who has ever live. Knowing yourself allows you to know all other beings. You will also understand what beings have to do to know God. The road is the same for all beings."

--The Right, Reverend Swami RastafarI Ital (Ital is Vital on YouTube)

There is a difference between volunteering yourself to save others and being coerced to do so.
