The story behind THE GOSSIP...!

W he n w e s t a r t ed w ork on t h i s co l l ec t i on o f Sw ami j i s mos t mem

Swamiji decided to t itle it himself.

It will be called THE GOSS IP OF NIT HYANANDA, he announced.

We were astonished.

You mean, The G ospel..., someone ventured.

No, I mean GO SSIP.

Errr... Swamiji... but why GO SSI P?

WHY NOT??

That just about put an end to the conversation!

And then Swamiji explained, with a char acteristic twinkle in the eye...

GOSPEL is an intellectual communication, from head to head

GOSSIP is an intimate communion between hearts

GOSPEL is the teachings of a dead master

GOSSIP is the living words of a live master

GOSPEL creates creates dead temples in brick and mortar

GOSSIP creates a live temple in the heart

GOSPEL is always for the masses

GOSSIP is always for individuals

GOSPEL is serious, dry and moralistic

GOSSIP is juicy and fun

GOSPEL remains unchanged through the centuries

GOSSIP changes with the need of the hour

GOSPEL is always preached, never practised

GOSSIP is never preached, but always practised!
