    • 24 August 2008, Sunday, Atladra; Janmashtami Celebration
      The Janmashtami celebration was held in the mandir assembly hall in the evening. Viveksagar Swami talked about spiritual equanimity, Dr. Swami and Mahant Swami discoursed upon the need of firm faith in God. The assembly programme was interspersed with kirtans, a traditional dance and honouring of Swamishri with garlands.
      In conclusion, Swamishri blessed the assembly, “The power generated through having firm faith in God protects one from the consequences after death. Wealth and bungalows do not protect oneself. Our philosophy says that the body dies and one will leave everything that has been attained behind. The atma, by having refuge in God, attains the abode of God.”

         Moulding a Successful Life

    • 24 August 2008, Sunday, Atladra
      During a personal meeting session Swamishri advised a teenager regarding his life, “At present give priority to studying well at school. Take care of your life: observe rules of moral conduct and be a vegetarian. You have to take care of these aspects now. Do not eat outside (in restaurants) and do not surf the net. Do satsang and inspire values in others. This will increase your firmness. Otherwise if you get entangled in kusang then you will decline and you will be sidetracked from your studies. You have to make your life. It is your responsibility that you do not spoil it. So your studies should be the priority. If you stray then you will be miserable and unhappy later. One’s mind is such that it leads one astray. Therefore adhere to satsang properly and study hard to achieve the best academic degree.”
      Swamishri inspired a turning point in the life of the teenager.
