In 1974, a majestic celebration honouring Swamishri was held at Alexandra Palace in London. A few days later, Swamishri was back in India travelling in the nondescript village of Rohishala in Saurashtra region. He was staying in a mud house. One morning, Subhash, a youth from London travelling with Swamishri, commented, “This is a far cry from Alexandra Palace!”
Without hesitation, Swamishri replied, “Subhash, a hundred Alexandra Palaces do not add up to this little mud house. Look at the affection of these poor devotees.”
