In reminiscence of the Great Master, Rev Dada J. P. Vaswani, the current head of Sadhu Vaswani Mission, says, “Centuries hence people will marvel that a man like Sadhu Vaswani trod this earth. In his heart there was no sense of separation. He saw the One Light in all religions, the One wisdom in all scriptures, the One inspiration in all saints of humanity. He taught that it was the duty of man to make the world more beautiful by breathing out peace to all and spending all he had in the service of those in need.”
