Prepared, Willing, and Ready to ServeMr Nithyananthan Pillay from South Africa had his first darshan of Bhagawan in the early 1990s. Deeply drawn to Swami, he chose to pursue a course of study in India, primarily to remain in the country and avail himself of as many darshans as possible. Those four years became a defining phase of his life, reshaping his outlook and inner purpose.He later moved to New Zealand, where he continued to nurture a close connection with his inner Swami, seeking His grace and guidance in every thought and action. In December 2025, he was in Prasanthi Nilayam as part of the New Zealand Prasanthi Yatra. This sacred visit proved to be a profound spiritual recharge, renewing his resolve and strengthening his commitment on the path of universal love and selfless service.Reflecting on his journey, he now affirms, “I am ready, more than ever before, to serve and lead a life of absolute dedication to His mission.” His journey is as moving as it is enlightening.

From Holland to the Holy Land of PrasanthiThis is the story of how Swami drew Mr Ravinder Puri from Holland to His lotus feet in the early 1980s. More than Bhagawan's omniscience or omnipotence, it was His irresistible love that pulled Mr Puri back to Puttaparthi year after year. And with every visit, his longing to be close to Him and to serve Him with all his heart only grew deeper.In the 1990s, Bhagawan blessed him with the opportunity to take part in the construction of the North Indian Canteen in Prasanthi Nilayam, along with other sacred projects.Each chance to serve became a rung in his spiritual ladder. Every opportunity Swami gave him came with its own tests and challenges - moments meant to deepen his yearning, purify his devotion, and strengthen his bond with the Lord.There was a tender moment when Swami lovingly told him, “You can never know how much I love you.” This gradual, sweet discovery of Swami's boundless love is the essence of Mr Puri's beautiful journey.
