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.

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