The spiritual head of Sadhu Vaswani Mission in Pune, Dada J P Vaswani was born on August 2, 1918, at Hyderabad-Sind. Being a brilliant student, he was given a number of double promotions and thus passed the the B.S. examination when just seventeen. A masters degree and fellowship at a leading college followed and Dada seemed poised at the threshold of a brilliant academic or civil services career. It was at this stage that he gave it all up and decided to follow his uncle and guru, Sadhu T.L. Vaswani, a mystic and philosopher on the spiritual path. Reaching out to people with a message of spirituality became his life mission. As editor of Excelsior magazine, he was initially met with opposition as not everyone related to the spiritual dimension. Still, he took it upon himself to write, proof read, print, get advertisements, package and post the magazine all by himself. The publications popularity grew to the extent that it surpassed the circulation of the leading daily newspaper, The Sind Observer. Ask Dada J P Vaswani |  |

We who consider ourselves as vegetarian are also non-vegetarians. Every breath that we take we are killing some bacteria. Therefore try to be as compassionate as you possibly can. “Daya Dharma Kaa Mool Hai”. The essence of spiritual life is compassion. And continue to recite what mantra gives you inner joy and satisfaction. In due course the mantra may inspire you to become a so-called “Vegetarian”.
Take up a sheet of paper and pen and write down all the things for which you should feel grateful. Thus, for instance, write on the paper - Thank you God, for the two eyes that you have given me. There are so many who are blind and cannot see. Thank you God, for the two feet that you have given. I can easily walk from one place to another. There are so many who have broken legs and are unable to walk. Thank you God, for my family members who gave me so much love. There are many who have no one on whom they can rely. And so on. You will find that there are hundreds of things for which you should feel grateful. When you have done this exercise you will find your heart has expanded and there is no feeling of depression.
The simplest and the easiest way is to hand yourself over in child like trust to a Power greater than yourself which, for want of a better word, we call God. God is our father: God is our mother. Tumhi ho maataa cha pita tumhi ho. And he is with you all the twenty-four hours of the day and night. Say to Him: You are my Mother, You are my Father. You have to take care of me. Shape me. Make me. Mould me as you will. But, pray, do not leave hold of me.
Your financial condition depends largely on the karma that you have brought with yourself. Continue to do your best and at the same time keep on praying to God to have mercy on you and improve your financial condition and family matters.
