Narrate the prasang of Pramukh Swami Maharaj related to Ahaar Shuddhi, which occurred in Delhi in 2005.
When Pramukh Swami Maharaj was in Delhi, the children and teenagers from America went to Agra to see Taj Mahal. When they returned, a child named Yogi Patel talked to Swamishri and said, 'Father! There was no breakfast facility on the bus, so we ate outside. So I apologise!' Swamishree said, 'It is good to know that you have made a mistake, but you will have to atone for it.' Hearing this, a saint standing nearby said, 'There was no provision for breakfast in the bus, so they had to eat outside. This is the fault of the organisers. He is a small child! Swamishree told him, 'Even if it was for the right reasons, if there is laxity in the rules and regulations, then this mistake should not be repeated. Therefore atonement has to be done. He told Yogi, 'You should bow down to Thakorji and ask for forgiveness.'
