His sermon remains the simple message, "Be Happy!". This message is presented in his inimitable style, which is a mix of the seemingly bizarre with the most profound, where simple language conveys the most complex thoughts Once, when asked, 'Is humour your main sadhana?' Swamiji replied, 'Wit is an expression of wisdom and it manifests spontaneously whenever mind is totally free of all hang- ups about the past, the present and the future'. This indeed appears as the consistent under-tone from an otherwise very versatile writer, thinker, and philosopher. Swamiji calls past as "dead rat". Qualified as one of India's first Ph.D. in Genetics, Swamiji must have joined the Chinmaya Mission before 1987, and was initiated into Sanyas Diksha on 29th August, 1994. The publication of 'One Minute Wizard' and 'Contradictions' in 1996 brought out the best of all what Swamiji stands for and is famous for. These books initialy appear small and easy to read, but when one is enticed to start these, hidden meanings and a maze of bewildering thoughts are aroused in the reader, who, by that time hooked on, spends many a fascinating hour on each seemingly simple parable and expression.
