On the evening of May 14th, 2018, at the humble invitation of trustees, Mahant Swami Maharaj visited Bangalore’s Jalaram Mandir. Upon arrival, he warmly greeted each devotee and gently offered a garland to the revered Jalaram Bapa. With humility, he began the aarti himself, gracefully initiating this sacred ritual. Yet, as effortlessly as he stepped forward, he quietly handed the aarti thali to a trustee, encouraging others to lead the worship.
One by one, trustees approached, their devotion illuminated by the glow of the flame. With each trustee who stepped forward, Swamishri subtly moved back, first one step, then another, until he stood silently, far from the center, barely noticeable.
Without a word, without drawing attention, he embodied a profound message: true greatness doesn’t seek the spotlight—it creates space for others to shine. In a world that encourages us to constantly push ourselves forward, Swamishri showed the immense strength that lies in quietly stepping back.
