Picture yourself cruising on a plane, thousands of feet above the ground. The air is cold, the journey feels long, and comfort becomes a priority. But for Mahant Swami Maharaj, every moment is an opportunity to serve.
Before leaving India, a devotee made a simple request—“When you’re away, will you remember us? Maybe write us a letter?” It was casual, but for Mahant Swami Maharaj, it was important.
Hours later, high above the clouds, he picked up a pen and paper. But the plane was freezing, and soon his fingers became stiff. Writing became painful, and his assistant gently suggested finishing it later. Yet, Mahant Swami Maharaj was unmoved by discomfort. His focus was on bringing joy to someone else.
Seeing his determination, the assistant wrapped a hot towel around Swamishri’s hand, restoring warmth and movement. With renewed strength, he completed the letter—fulfilling not just a request, but a promise of love and connection.
In a world where it’s easy to prioritize ourselves, Mahant Swami Maharaj’s actions remind us of the true power of selfless service. So, whose day will you bring joy to today?
