Speak about Swamiji

"Lord Buddha has preached that the birth of a Supreme Being is a rare occurrence and this supreme birth is for the benefit of all mankind. The greatness of the service rendered by Swami Premananda to mankind is that it is rendered irrespective of caste, creed or religion. His universal preaching, which is common to all religions, will be of invaluable assistance in upholding the dharma and re-establishing the Truth in this current time, when humanity is away from Truth."

Venerable Borelle Atula Thero, Tourist Buddhist Organisation, Sri Lanka

"Swami Premananda Maharaj is one who is lucid about the on-going spiritual struggle the man of our times is facing. He has a great dream before him and may the Almighty give him power to fulfil that dream."

Reverend Dr. Kingsley T. Muttiah, President, Methodist Church, Sri Lanka

"At the height of great communal tension, when Swamiji walked by my side with thousands of others, radiating his divine love, we felt no fear or ill-will. We continue with these peace walks and peace meditations to this day. In a world polluted by greed and ignorance, Swami Premananda is a divine light radiating beneficence, love and enlightenment."

Dr. A. T. Ariyaratne, President, Sarvodaya Shramadana Movement, Sri Lanka
