Om Sathguru Sri Seshadri Swamigal Thiruvadikkae

In this frightful Kali yuga (era), the practice of devotion is the best and easiest way of realizing God. When the Lord incarnates Himself on earth assuming a Form and attributes, ignorant folk fail to recognize Him, for He is veiled by His Maya (Gita VII. 25). He who surrenders himself to the Lord devotes himself to the practice of Devotion, the Lord removes the veil of Maya from before him, on account of which he succeeds in getting a direct vision of the Lord’s Divine Form, possessed of attributes. That is why it is the duty of every individual to the to practise devotion to the Lord, with reverence and Love.
