Blessings on Dusshera

Dear Divine Souls, I hope that – by God’s grace – this finds you all in the best of health and happiness at this holy time of Dusshera.   We have just completed the sacred nine days and nights of Navratri, the worship of the Divine Mother.  The day after Navratri (frequently referred to as the 10th day of Navratri) is Dusshera, which commemo­rates the day on which Bhagwan Rama vanquished the 10-headed “Demon King” Ravana, thereby rescuing his wife Sitaji who had been kidnapped by this egoistic and passion-filled ruler of...

Divine Insurance Company

This article was published in The Speaking Tree, here. In one question and- answer session, a woman asked me with tears in her eyes, “How do you overcome fear? I live my life so afraid all the time.The object of my fear changes as time passes, but the fear remains.” In my opinion, this omnipresent fear is the most insidious obstacle to our peace,happiness and progress in life.When I say fear, I don’t necessarily mean terror.Rather,I mean all that makes us anxious, nervous, tense and in need of controlling our surroundings.The...

He also spoke about the critical importance of planting trees along the river bed and the incredible efforts...
