“To Know God is to Love God”, I was taught when I was a child. For a very long time the meaning of this seemingly simple yet very profound statement kept eluding me.
Perhaps just to discover the inner meaning of this statement
I was given the wondrous opportunity to study in Swami’s institution. I joined the
MBA course in Prasanthi Nilayam in the year 2005. The first grace of Swami was
shown to us when after a hiatus of few years he called upon the new joining MBA students to Brindavan, Whitefield. It made the feeling
absolutely special for us new comers. I was totally overawed by the occasion
and i saw other students were touching
Swami’s feet, holding hands and Swami was responding to all of them with such
sweet smiles and talking to a few of the students. I mustered just enough
courage to go and touch Swami’s hands with my two fingers and then waited to
see if there was any reaction. Swami just smiled.
