Satsang with Swami Prakashanand SaraswatiWhenever I enter Barsana Dham in Austin, TX, I am uplifted. The moment my body passes the barrier between the world and Barsana Dham, a wave of Divine Grace ripples through my body. My mind tends to wonder how entering Barsana Dham can have such an impact on me. The explanation is simple: my whole life revolves around Barsana Dham and its loving creator, His Divinity Swami Prakashanand Saraswati.

To think Barsana Dham has helped me would be an understatement. Barsana Dham has made me feel as if my life serves a true purpose in this world. Barsana Dham is my home and where I can talk to my best friend, God. I long to be in Barsana Dham every possible moment, yet I am required to finish my studies and other activities. But if I ever feel lonely or sad for any reason, I know who and where to go to. I know that I can visit Barsana Dham and talk to my best friend in the world, Shree Swamiji.

Without Shree Swamiji in my life, who knows where I would be. The amount of Divine Grace and Love I have received from him is immense. His speeches inspire me beyond imagination. His hugs make me feel as if a wave of love has hit me full-fledged in my chest and my heart has been coated with a mixture of Divine Grace and friendship. Shree Swamiji makes me want to do more than the average. The only reason I am where I am right now is because of His and Barsana Dham’s power of Grace upon not only me, but others who began just like me, and were uplifted when they met Shree Swamiji and visited Barsana Dham in Austin, Texas."
