“First, I bow at the feet of Bhagwan Swaminarayan who has given me this human body. I also bow at the feet of my gurus Shastriji Maharaj and Yogiji Maharaj for blessing me and accepting me as their disciple. They are the reason I am standing here in front of you today. They gave me the opportunity to serve you. My existence is solely dependent on them. I am fortunate enough to have been given the opportunity to serve BAPS and spread their principles and teachings. This seva is beyond my capabilities, but the only reason I have been able to do it is because of my gurus’ blessings…Nothing is possible without God’s grace…”
