Always remembering Devi

Saints are not confined to any sectarian religion or dogmas and honor the purity of spirit, no matter what the tradition or lineage.

Vira Chandra

If you don't follow the orders of Sat Guru, regular laws of karma will operate, which can result in dreadful consequences

Vira Chandra

Arguments about God are useless - When you haven’t seen God, how can you insist that your point of view is right?

Vira Chandra

Despite being completely free beings, saints still follow an ideal code of conduct (maryada)

Vira Chandra

From the point of view of the soul, everyone is alike, but from the point of view of practical life, each one is different, and that needs to be regarded
