We are the children of Swami; we will die for him. We are the youths of Shriji Maharaj; we will fight for Him. We are fearless; we will not shirk sacrificing our lives, for we are born to die. We have launched this movement, and will undergo any suffering. We will sing the praises of Akshar-Purushottam. We are the sons of Shriji; we have our abode in Akshar. Consecrated as we are to swadharma (religious faith), we have no apprehensions whatsoever. Lord Purushottam and Akshar, Gunatitanand Swami are with us. We have accomplished our goal.
