Once in Atladra, Swamishri walked by a few youths who were cleaning the filters of an old air conditioning unit. Swamishri stopped and said to them, “The filters of this A.C. unit became filled with dirt so it had to be removed for cleaning. Similarly, when life becomes spoilt by bad habits it is degraded. So you have to inspect your character for impurities and cleanse it.”

Swamishri has transformed the lives of thousands of people around the world and they provide testimony of his contributions in purifying society.

A tribal devotee from the village of Uber described his life-changing experience to Swamishri, “I first had your darshan in Atladra. I didn’t think it was ever going to happen, but it did. It was like a miracle. With your blessings, my entire family has stopped eating meat, smoking and drinking. And our violent tempers are under control. It has been eight months now and I can say that we feel 100 percent purified! My adulterous behaviour has also gone. I feel privileged to have received your blessings.”

On 18 July 1996, a youth came to meet Swamishri in Dallas, Texas. In 1994, he had promised Swamishri that he would quit drinking and eating meat. He fell at Swamishri’s feet and described his success, “Swami, though it seemed impossible, your blessings made my wife’s dream a reality. I have given up eating meat and all my addictions.  In fact, I don’t even have anger tantrums any more. I never thought it would be possible for me to stop, but you made it happen.”
These are just a few of the countless life-transforming experiences people have had as a result of their association with Swamishri.

Only one who is clean, pure and spotless can transform the lives of others. Countless individuals have developed inner purity through Swamishri’s blessings and many more are in the process of doing so.
