“This divine journey is the moment when the Lord Himself comes among His devotees to grant them His divine vision.”

“I pray that the grace of Lord Shri Jagannath Ji remains upon us all forever. Serving humanity is serving the Divine, and service itself is spiritual practice. Jai Jagannath!” he said.
