Explain Swamishri's Apology
Mahant Swami Maharaj's utmost value for his haribhakto shines through during one particular incident from 2001. Before a convention, Mahant Swami Maharaj spent hours preparing what he thought was an engaging presentation for youth traveling from the US to India. As the children began falling asleep during the presentation, Mahant Swami Maharaj did not utter a word of disappointment or rebuke. Instead, he later apologized to the children, citing his mistakes that he felt caused their disinterest and discomfort. Despite their young age, Mahant Swami Maharaj viewed the children as divine; he is a paradigm of reflection, always keeping the ideal of humility at the forefront of his life.
