Q:What is Sri Gurudev’s message to Saskatoon?
A (translated by Sinha): I want to say to the people of Saskatoon: The life we live is God’s gift to us, the way we live our life will be our recurring gift to God. The only thing we can give to God is our own actions. Live your life well – live a life that is physically responsible and spiritually responsive so that your God will be proud of you. I find a lot of positive energy and vibes in Saskatoon. I think the people here are open and accepting. There is an atmosphere of hospitality and generosity. The interfaith collaboration and community harmony that I find in Saskatoon gives me a lot of hope and peace. Saskatoon provides a model of spiritual life and interfaith collaboration for Canada and the world.
