The flag of Shree Swāmi Maharaja’s Bhakti is fluttering all over the world.  Truly Vibhūtī emerging out of the photograph through the glass for eighteen consecutive days is one of the wonders which have taken place in the world!  Nowadays I only think about Shree Swāmi Samarth.  I simply cannot think of anything else. I do not understand the mysteries of life.  My intellect stops functioning. I constantly meditate upon Swāmi.

The 2^nd edition of this book was released by ‘Pandurang Erunkar’. My daughter, 'Pradnya', had just come home from University.  I requested her to make a small speech on this occasion.   In such a limited time, 'Pradnya' made a poem and read it out in her speech which is as follows:

Jeevanke isa daur me (n)

Dhoop chhav to chalate rahegi

Lekin Swāmi hamāre sāth rahana

Chhav hee banake, Chhav hee banake!

Jeevanke isa rāhame (n)

Antahkal to ekadin aayega

Lekin Swāmi hamako aap bulānā

Itani bhakti ho hamāri, itani bhakti ho hamāri!

[ In the journey of life,

There will be blazing sun & cooling shade

But Swāmi during all times,

Please stay with us and

Please be cooling shade for us

Please be comforting shade for us.

On the path of life,

One day “The end” will surely come

But Swāmi, let Thy will prevail and

Call us, when you want

May we have unquestionable devotion

May we have such great devotion. 

After listening to this, I was absolutely impressed and dumbfounded.  The best thing to do was to be quiet, say nothing but just imbibe those beautiful lines.
