On the Occasion of Paris Mandir Murti Pratishtha
English Translation
Dearest Yogi Bapa,
You used to express the vision that Satsang would spread around the world. When you used to name various countries, no one could believe it. But today, as the consecration of this mandir in Paris has taken place and its glory resounds, everyone is filled with conviction.
In 1970, when you instructed Pramukh Swami and me to set foot on the soil of Paris, it was truly you who resided within us, setting foot here and sowing the seeds of Satsang. You made us an instrument and granted us the opportunity to serve.
Everyone keeps marvelling that 'you are travelling at the age of 93', but Bapa, spiritual LOVE has no limits. We live for you. Fulfilling your vision is our life and our bhakti. Even that is accomplished only through your divine strength.
Whoever has rendered service (seva) for this mandir, we offer all of that today at your holy feet.
O Yogi Bapa! Please accept our humble offering (anjali).
Your servant,
Sadhu Keshavjivandas
