  Gems From Swamishri :
  • When one realises the glory of God one will not be attracted or impressed by worldly pleasures.
    For us, having met God and His holy Sadhu is of highest importance.
  • It is because of spiritual discourses (katha) that one is infused with enthusiasm, strength and confidence.
  • Worldly praise and honor is not important but abiding by agna (moral instruction) and Upasana (creed) is a measure of greatness.
