In London in 2016, a devotee sought guidance on adapting to the new age, the Sathya Yuga.
Swami:
Sathya Yuga, as I have said, is a different season, and it is for a different kind of plants to bloom and grow. This is the age of love and you must have love in your heart. Only people who have pure love will continue to survive and enjoy this new time. All the others, as I answered in the previous question, due to some reason or the other, will destroy themselves and will not continue. If you want to adapt and be in the Sathya Yuga, you have to be golden within. What is ‘golden within’? Pure love is gold. Only if you start developing that pure love, will you be able to fit into this New Age.

Continuing to Feed Young Souls with Love
|
|
With the start of the New Year and the new school term, the breakfast
Seva
for the innocent little souls in the Dharmapuram School in Kirrankulam, Batticaloa was restarted. As many of these children come to school on an empty stomach, the milk and banana that is provided to them on a daily basis on all school days, as per
Bhagawan’s
divine command, gives them renewed energy and even acts as an incentive for them to attend school regularly.

Annapoorna Breakfast Programme has not only changed my life, but it touched my life as well.
Now wherever I go, consciously, I ensure to give a biscuit packet at least, to a needy person, if nothing else is around. This way I feel satisfied from within, even if the person’s stomach is not filled completely with the biscuit packet, my heart gets filled.

I can keep on pouring my emotions about my journey with Annapoorna however; I want to jot down an incident that happened recently. My parents and I had gone to a hospital to get a few medical tests done for my mother. As per the procedure, post-breakfast blood sample had to be given after pre-breakfast was done...
