Sanatan Sanstha is performing the great task of awakening society ! – Shrimad Vidyadhish Tirtha Shripad Vader Swamiji’s blessings

While blessing the seekers, Pujya Swamiji said:
1. Sanatan Sanstha is committed to the propagation of Dharma
Sanatan Sanstha is firmly committed to the propagation of Dharma. This generates contentment in life. Life can be lived in two ways — one by seeking happiness for oneself and the other by giving happiness to others. Sanatan Dharma teaches us to strive to give happiness to others. Sanatan Sanstha too is performing the great task of creating awareness in society and striving to generate happiness in society.
2. Remain dedicated to giving happiness to others
Through an instructive story, Pujya Swamiji explained how one should think of others. He conveyed that we must strive to consider others and make efforts to give them happiness. Do not live merely for your own name, but live for others — this was his message.
3. No one troubles a devotee of God
In worldly life, if a District Magistrate or a Police Commissioner is acquainted with someone, no one troubles such a person. Similarly, if a seeker is devoted to God, no one dares to harass such a seeker. If a seeker is troubled and he prays to God, “Protect me,” then while protecting him, God punishes the one who harms him. Therefore, no one troubles a devotee of God.
Explaining another beautiful story, Pujya Swamiji firmly impressed upon the seekers that if they increase their devotion to God, God Himself protects them.
4. Seekers, increase your attachment to the Holy feet of God
Seekers should constantly strive to remain close to God. Increase your attachment to the Holy feet of God. When heartfelt devotion towards God awakens, the difficulties in life are resolved. It also enhances others’ positivity towards you. May God’s grace and blessings always remain upon the seekers. I pray at the Holy feet of Shriram and Shri Veervitthal that their sufferings be removed.
