• Redeemed from Worldly Bondage
  During Swamishri's routine evening walk, many children of the BAPS Bal mandal were reciting bhajans and Sanskrit verses. A shepherd's child called Bhupat recited the sloka, "Gunatitoksharam Brahma ..."
  Swamishri was pleased at Bhupat's effort and blessed him by placing his hand on his head and said, "You are redeemed from the attachments of this life."
  By the mere recitation of a simple sloka, Bhupat became the recipient of Swamishri's abundant grace.
