Radhe Krishna To All,

" HAPPY UGADI TO ALL "

Question 1: Swamiji, Do you think that there is anything greater than God ?

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

Yes,.. I believe that Faith is even greater than God.

Suppose God appears before us, but we are doubtful if it is God or not , what is

the use?

But if you have faith,even a stone image can talk to you. So I believe that

faith is the greatest of all. This faith should be firm and unshakable.

Question 2: I think I get what you are saying. Could you please illustrate this

further, Swamiji...

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

Let me tell you a small anecdote in Shirdi Sai Baba's life. Once a lady devotee

of Shirdi Sai Baba was very adamant that she should receive some sort of

Upadesam from him. But Baba refused to oblige. That lady went on a severe

fasting. On seeing this, a few people informed Baba about this.

Baba called her and softly asked her , " Do you think my Guru gave me any

initiation or upadesam ? "

She replied, " He must have Baba... , or how could you have become so exalted. "

Baba smiled and said, " My Guru asked me to give two coins as Guru Dakshina

(offerings to Guru). I didn't know where to get the coins from. Sensing my

plight he said, 'My dear son, I asked you two coins of Nista (Shraddha and

unshakable faith) and Saburi (patience and perseverance) in me. I had unshakable

faith in him. So should you.

So.... now do you see that faith and patience are the greatest things.
