The year was 1958. When a young boy was being initiated with the Brahmopadesam i.e into the Gayatri Mantra, Pujya Gurudev blessed him and gave him a golden advice:
“Rajaram! Be a Rama inside and a Raja (King) outside.” The advice is self-explanatory. One should be serene and divine inside, but outside, as we face the world, we have to ‘fight’ like a king and be courageous.
Being a sadhu doesn’t mean that one should shun fighting the evils or odds in life.
