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 sãdhus for a place at Swãmishri’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.

for the sadhus of Amdavad temple... |

Sadhu: There are many talks pertaining to God. Please explain a
little about Him to us in brief.

Swamishri : Gunatitanand Swami has said, ‘We are born for two
reasons - to become atmarup and attach ourselves toPurushottam.’
Secondly the Kathi devotees used to tell Shriji Maharaj, ‘You
are ours and we are yours.’ Maharaj would reply, ‘At the
end of the day this is the one understanding we need.’
Once at night, Bhavan Thakkar told Gunatitanand Swami, ‘Swami,
I’m yours.’ After all our studying, contemplating and
reading, this is what we have to understand - God is ours and we
are God’s.
