D.N.A - An Awakening to love
Can you describe the moments of your ultimate enlightenment and what is meant to you?
My enlightenment took place after a journey among various spiritual disciplines - Hinduism, Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism to name a few — when I discovered that the essence of people everywhere Is the same whatever their external denomination may be and that essence is a great love that emanates from the inner soul. I awakened to that In Vrlndavan In 1971 when I encountered His Divine Grace A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
You believe in socially engaged spirituality. What are the things you do?
Our mid-day meals for school children in Mumbai's slums reach out to about 150,000 kids everyday. We also have Bhaktivedanta hospital for charity, a hospice and also run an orphanage. I've practised a socially engaged spirituality since the mid 1980' and today am more so than I've ever been. I also teach and propogate the ISKCON philosophy that God's love resides within the self.
