Swami Veda Bharati 90th Birthday tribute 24 March 2023 is a remembrance and marks the beginning of an era. We all cherish and embrace the loving sentiments Swami Veda shared saying: “Tonight you filled me with such love. Everything that you have given me tonight, I will keep it filled inside me. But I have one desire yet unfulfilled. If you really wish to honor me, wish to love me, do two things for me. This, I am saying to my students. First, love each other. You all love this Swami, but you don’t love each other. If you want to love me, love each other. Secondly, make yourself adhikarin so that the knowledge coming down from thousands of years of tradition can be passed on and can continue.
And the third condition, if you want to love me, meditate. That is our true relationship. Silent love is the best love in the universe. And my master, Swami Rama said “Love is the Lord of All.” And today you have shown that love. But I would be happy when you show that love to each other. I thank you all, thank you all from the depth of my heart. God bless you.”
On Thursday join Swami Ritavan in recalling the life and teachings of Swami Veda. He will also introduce the beginning of an era called: Transitions in Transformation – Entering our Decade of Sanctity: 2023-2033. Swamiji’s message describes the process and purpose of Transitions and Transformation, and invites all to engage in listening to the inner call of the self.
Swami Rama has said in “Sadhana, the Path to Enlightenment”, that when a person is on the path of self-transformation (Sadhana), she/he comes in touch with the higher potentials within.
