The Swami, according to IAC, was a beacon of spirituality whose guidance was much sought by thousands over the years he has been attached to the Ashram.
“His humility was exemplary and in providing spiritual guidance, he positively influenced many lives. He was foremost an inspirational figure with a humble disposition.”
