Mr. Haresh Jani, a reporter from the daily Gujarat Mitra asked a few questions to Swamishri.

Mr. Jani: Bhagwan Shri Ram appeared in a dream to the Mahant of Ayodhya and told him to perform the foundation-stone laying ceremony. Can this be true?

Swamishri: Yes. Our rishis were realised souls. Those who are engaged in spiritual endeavours are inspired and talk accordingly. Our rishis performed austerities and other endeavours and attained the state of self-realisation.
Mr. Jani: Have you attained realisation?

Swamishri: Ever since I met God I've had realisation. I attained the knowledge of God through the guru and thus got realisation.

Mr. Jani: What is the straight way to heaven?

Swamishri: One will attain the straight way to His divine abode by having refuge in God, following instructions prescribed by God and associating with a bona fide sadhu.
