In the footsteps of the Guru!

544. Om punya-sravana-kirtanayai namah: I bow down to Amma who bestows merit on anyone who hears of Her and praises Her


It's always wonderful to be able to realise that the spiritual leaders of our society are more realised souls:
"It is not necessary to believe in God to be a good person. In a way, the traditional notion of God is outdated. One can be spiritual but not religious. It is not necessary to go to church and give money - for many, nature can be a church. Some of the best people in history do not believe in God, while some of the worst deeds were done in His name." POPE FRANCIS
"The problem arises when we say, 'Our religion is right; yours is wrong!' This is like saying, 'My mother is good; yours is a prostitute!' Love and compassion are the very essence of all religions. What, then, is the need for us to compete?"AMMA
Obedience to the guru is necessary for attunement with his wisdom. It is not slavery to follow the wish of a God-realized guru, because his wish gives independence and freedom. A true guru is the servant of God, carrying out His plan for your liberation. Realize this, and you will always obey, until you find perfect freedom in Spirit." SRI SRI PARAMAHANSA YOGANANDA
"When you wish good for others, good things come back to you.
This is the LAW of NATURE." SRI SRI RAVI SHANKAR

Om Amriteswariye namah!
