Om
Sharavanabhava!
Swami visited
the UK once again in February 2015. During his long awaited visit, Swami
conducted numerous regional and community programmes over the past month with
hundreds of devotees flooding in to receive his blessings. At every community
and regional visit, Swami imparted his pearls of wisdom through his satsangs.
His satsangs are not only pregnant with teachings and divine messages for the
audience, as a whole, but there is always a specific message directed towards
each and every individual in the gathering.

Below is an
extract from Swami’s satsang at a regional programme in
Tolworth.
'A
Guru gives us self-confidence that is why we go to a Guru. Yesterday a
gentleman came to seek Swami’s
blessings. At dharshan, this gentleman shared with Swami his sorrows and the
fact that he feared he would die soon, as the gentleman was living in a
situation where this was highly probable.
Swami affirmed to this gentleman, that he will in fact live for many
more years. Since Swami gave him that confidence, that gentleman now has the
will power and belief that he will live.
A Guru instils faith in us. Without faith, there is no
life. As a result our faith must be resilient, and our faith must cultivate.
Thirdly, a Guru leads us to karma bodham. A Guru
directs our karmas, often in disguise so that we fulfil our dharma.'
The message in
Swami’s speech were incredibly potent, and
everyone was deeply moved after hearing Swami’s soul stirring words.
