She will be a guide to the world. That is why I have faith in the great vision of the Swami. 6 months are nothing for this huge nation. I want to ask you, do you have the faith that I have?

The world looks at the democratic countries with pride. Our ancestors have sowed the seeds of democracy. Had it not been for a democracy would I be here?

Can anyone imagine, a sage who devoted his life to his guru, that person says, forget gods and demi-godesses. Just remember Mother India. Look at the strength of the great man- Just after 50 years India became independent. Like me, many other people have been born in free India. I am privileged.
