It is quite rare to sustain simplicity after attaining such heights.
I had many opportunities to experience his childlike simplicity. He was a ‘Mahatma’.He has not left us; his legacy shall remain present forever. I have not found such an instance yet where millions of people have paid such heartfelt tributes on the departure of any spiritual leader. Many respects to Pramukh Swami Maharaj and prayers for his sadhus and all devotees.’
