I consider myself very fortunate for receiving Pramukh Swamiji's blessings over the years. Future generations will look at Swamiji's work and marvel at how much he achieved in a lifetime. Indeed it is impossible for ordinary mortals to achieve what Swamiji achieved.
Historians in future will acknowledge that Swamiji brought about a renascence of Hindu dharma. Indian art, history, culture, unique temple construction according to Hindu scriptures, all was revived by Swamiji. He motivated millions of people to lead spiritual lives all over the world.
During the times of national calamities brought about by earthquakes or droughts and wars Swamiji inspired armies of people to serve the victims with love and compassion. Opening schools, colleges, hospitals and over a thousand temples in different parts of the world, visiting tens of thousands of villages and homes, writing letters to devotees and personally helping solve issues faced by devotees, it is a miracle of our times.
The state of Gujarat in India is a land of great thinkers, poets, valiant kings and saints and sages. Whenever mention will be made of India's great spiritual heritage Swamiji and his divine life will be remembered with awe and wonder.
