Depending On God
Rishimukh|June 2017

Acharya Ratnananada (Pitaji) was a renowned Vedic Scholar from Bangalore, India. His educational background - a mix of acadamic studies at a Christian Institution, and ancient scripture study at home gave him a clear and enlightening sense of both Eastern and Western thought. Pitaji was the father of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.

One day a simpleton went to him and wept. On enquiry, he said, “Many people in my village are bad and they treat me badly. I don’t know how to protect myself. Please help me.”

The sage consoled him and said, “Don’t worry, depend on God and everything will be alright.” The villager was overjoyed by this and went away.
