Swamiji speaking to children
Holy places are like areas where the sun reflects more – example: on water rather than rock. These holy places, no matter whether it is a mosque, a church or a temple [or Shul/Synagogue], are places where [energy of] divinity is more manifest.
May God bless you. May you always go to these holy places to soak up the divinity which is already there.
You are like that little plant which one day must grow big and give shade to different people, no matter what race, colour or caste he or she belongs to. You are the children of God, you are God's children.
May God manifest in you. May Mother Saraswati manifest in you.
You must come here, to these [yoga spiritual retreat] camps, for one reason – to discipline yourself and myself and to go towards God.
