Swamiji took me to visit Christian Churches; this was new to me because I come from the Hindu tradition. He told me that God is equally in Churches as in Temples and that Mother Mary is the same as Durga-Ma. Rather than reading a book I experienced churches with Swami. He told me:
“Love, just love.”
But how do I love?
"First start loving yourself."
How do I love myself?
"It is not necessary to pamper yourself; just be content with who you are, and where you are. Once you are able to do that, then you can love every one."
