Whenever I went to Mauritius as a child, I would sleep in Swami’s room with him. At first I found it really scary with the pictures of different deities on the wall at night; however, Swami Vishwananda would tell me stories of the different deities to put my mind at ease. I was amazed that at fourteen years of age, he was able to tell me all these stories in so much detail. His devotion to God was so apparent and inspiring even at that age. Within a couple of days I was aspiring to be like my older brother, asking my mum for money so I could buy pictures of deities for myself!( by Ravi)
