This must be THE biggest nugget from Master's teaching: "I don't want you to ever forget it. Material remedies-medicines, physical comforts, human consolation- have their place in helping to remove pain, but, the greatest remedy is the practice of Kriya Yoga and the affirmation that you are one with God. This is the cure-all for every trouble, pain, and bereavement-the way to freedom from all individual and mass karma." I don't remember ever hearing it. Thank you Brother for presenting us with this truth. I will never forget it.

Nameste Brother Govindananda, very insightful lesson. I love the analogy of living in the tool shed and walking around the farm and then the Mansion. This analogy really resonates with Me because We must See beyond our circumstances and look within. Shanti! Shanti! Shanti! Thank you.

I have been listening to the flawless presentations of Master's love and wisdom by his little boys and girls since the mid seventies and the variety of individual contributions have been incomparably inspirational. They have brought many tears of gratitude for the undeniably true representation of personal experience. The authenticity of love for God and Guru encourages beyond human imaginings in every monk and nun Divinely selected for the task of keeping Master's works pure and joyful.
Thanking you Bro Govindananda for your current version of Master's love and wisdom intellectual and humorous delivered with such playful and articulated class. Had me in fits of laughter and in tears of compassion for those who do not want God, and heartbreak for our Beloved who is denied the love of His children. 🙏🏻🙏🏿🙏🏼💛🤍💙 Eternal gratitude

Brother Govindananda, thank you for all the useful tips. "Risk is risky, " a hilarious gem. But seriously, I enjoyed every word. Admittedly, I rewound, replayed, and paused at many points of your talk to soak it up.

Beautiful way to start the convocation. Humor is necessary to enhance the ethos pathos and logos. And so on. God bless you all always.
