<div>Paul Brunton, a British Journalist, has, in his book A Search in Secret India, stated about Baba as— One of the most impressive amongst Yogis of this twentieth century is Yogiraj Shri Vishuddhanand Paramahansa (1853-1937). The Yogiraj’s seemingly unscientific and illogical miracles are, in fact, genuine yogic siddhis. It was, in fact, at first very difficult for my mind, trained in logic and the physical science and believing implicitly only in the rational order of the universe, to accept the reality of such apparently irrational phenomena. Yet inwardly I felt, from the elevating splendour of his presence, that the yogiraj was by no means an imposter and that I had withnessed genuine miracles. Along with miraculous powers, went deep love, compassion and the God-knowledge that opens the door to a new elevated vision of life. He had the wonderful powers of the Holy Spirit, the power of purity which liberates the soul, gives man control over the whole of nature and shows God into him.</div><br>
