Each
person struggles through
live. 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 Saint.

For thousands of years in Indian culture there has been the tradition
of surrendering one’s self to the guru. Even in today’s
modern society the tradition still lives. One can see young graduates
renouncing the world to became sadhus for a place at Swamishri’s
feet. To them he is everything. Through his teachings and inspirations
they become the next generation of knights, albeit gentle, of the
faith, defending and sustaining the ancient culture and spirituallity
of India against the evils of today’s materialistic society.

| Confession |
 |
[on behalf of a sadhak] If we confess our mistakes to
you then we are freed of the guilt or burden. But we only see you
once every few months. In the meantime we confess before the murtis
but we don’t feel as relieved as we do when we confess to you.
Why?
|
 |
Swamishri : If we believe that Shriji Maharaj resides in the murtis
and then confess, we will be relieved. The ‘guilt’ will
go away. But we don’t believe in the murtis as much as we should,
so we are not relieved. However, when we do meet, you should still
confess here.
