Importance of devotion

When even the tasks on earth cannot be accomplished without an acquaintance, how can difficulties such as prarabdha, distress due to negative energies, etc. be solved without getting acquainted with God ? – Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Jayant Athavale

Basic difference between a Guru and a preacher

A preacher delivers sermons on the theoretical aspect of Spirituality; a Guru, on the other hand, gets it done through His disciple and subsequently helps him grow Spiritually. – Paratpar Guru (Dr) Athavale

Development of devotion and faith

By chanting the ‘Name’ one acquires Bliss (Anand), and Divine Energy (Shakti) increases. When this happens, devotion and faith develop automatically. (Ref. : Sanatan’s Holy text – The Teachings of Saint Bhaktaraj Maharaj)

Importance of Divine grace

After experiencing God’s grace, praise from society has no meaning. – Paratpar Guru (Dr) Jayant Athavale

Spiritual practice – the real vaccine

To protect ourselves from infectious diseases, we get vaccinated. Likewise, to protect ourselves during World War 3, the only effective vaccine is spiritual practice. – Paratpar Guru (Dr) Jayant Athavale

Significance of spiritual practice

Once yearning for God-realisation develops as a result of performing spiritual practice, one loses interest in materialistic things. Consequently, there is no envy, jealousy or hatred about others; so also, there is no feeling of aloofness or quarrels with others. – Paratpar Guru (Dr.) Athavale
