Swamiji said that If the world is compared to human body, India is the heart and America is the head, and for this reason He is visiting USA every year and trying to bring India and America closer as this is needed for order in the world and the world to be peaceful. Swamiji asked the people to take an oath to work for peace, never pollute the 5 elements of nature, and never pollute the minds of the children.

During the discourses after the Homams & Rudraabhishekam Swamiji spoke in depth about the path of Datta and Datta Philosophy and the Guru tattva. Swamiji said that the goal of Datta path is not to merge in Datta  but to keep connection with Datta or Guru, and there by becoming a Datta himself. Datta or Guru is embodiment of Love and if you keep connection with him he will remove all your sorrows, bestow success and make you strong and transform man into Universal Man.

Swamiji assured that he was always with his devotees and protecting them like the eyelid protects the eyes. He also added that he had to fulfill and will fulfill all the  good desires of all those who reposed faith and surrendered to Him. Guru is like a Mother, and he showers love of a million Mothers, He is a Father, a teacher and is the best navigator and does everything for his devotees.
