Searching Question Fulfilling Answer
Each person struggles through

life. For some the trials are

overpowering, for others a bored

status quo prevails,and

for a minority mountains are

pounded to dust in

the search for meaning and joy.

Within the invisible depths of

each soul there is a yearning.

A need to know ‘Why?’.

‘Why do we live?’,

‘Why do we experience problems?’,

‘Why are we travellers on the

journey of life?’.

In the search for answers to

their uncertainties many turn to

the God-realised Sadhu.
    Travellers On The Journey Of Life
    From all walks of life

On a normal day, Pramukh Swami Maharaj meets men from all walks of life... lawyers, celebrities and even fishermen! There are those who have known him for years, and those who for the first time come to meet him in search of guidance...
    Why disasters?
Question

Atheist: Just recently a hurricane blew over Bangladesh killing over 500,000 people. So what... had God been drinking?
Answer

Swamishri: That is the power of death (kal). Remember this, only God, not you, not me, only God knows what is best for mankind. Man begets the fruits of his actions. You can’t blame God. Everything happens at its appropriate time (creation-destruction). The world is forever changing. These are the facts of life which we have to accept. So rather than be upset or sad because of such events, you should pray instead. Otherwise such thoughts leave us bitter and resentful.
