Pujya Gurudev brought joy wherever he went. So did his letters. The bold and well-loved handwriting on the envelope would make the recipient’s heart jump with joy. Today in the world of emails and other electronic communication, that kind of joy is inconceivable. The inevitable waiting for the snail mail made the letters sweeter still. He was a prolific writer, known to write hundreds of letters in a week. The Chinmaya Archives is fortunate to house a collection of over 15,000 of Gurudev’s letters.
This section of the website gives us a peep through the window of Gurudev’s words, thanks to some precious letters that devotees have saved and donated to the Archives. These letters have been categorized by topic and presented in their original format along with a typed version.
