The children learning Prajna classes interacted beautifully when HH asked ‘Where is God’

  •  in the heart
  •  in the temple
  •  in me when I help others and in others when they help me
  •  everywhere

As Swamiji explained how God can be realized, the difference between temple and home, and how to respond when and where there is a need, the children along with adults have all felt enthused and extremely grateful. Their jna:na gadget has now recharged from Guru’s teachings.
