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...

| Sins |
 |
Jnanprasad Swami: If one seeks refuge in God, is he freed from all
his past sins?
|
 |
Swamishri: God is merciful. He forgives us for all our past sins.
However, after seeking His shelter, if we continue to knowingly
sin then we must endure the consequences. Only one who has no devotion
in his heart sins purposefully. He never seeks refuge in God, nor
does he believe in the power of God, and so he just continues sinning.
A devotee would instantly feel guilt upon committing even the smallest
mistake. He is God-fearing and so he repents for his misdeeds by
dandvats, prayer, penance, etc. Through this he purifies himself.
The non-devotee eventually suffers for his ignorance.
