Paramahamsa Nithyananda
Why are they not?• Politics – Our youth can see right
through it.• Preaching not Inspiring – They are
Smart.• Not approachable – “This is how it is
done!”• Non-participatory – “What am I doing
here?”• Lifestyle is lost.
What Swamiji Taught Us: Temples are Universities
• Preserve the Lifestyle.• Why we do what we do?
– Morning Suprabatha Puja– Evening Maha Arthi– Offerings– Deities
• Utilitarian Aspects of our Temples– Living the Lifestyle of Vidharkha
