<\/a>What should one do if one has offended a Sadhu?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Sadhu-ninda ghatile ki kara kartavya?<\/span><\/p>\n

If out of foolishness one has offended a sadhu, then with remorse one should grasp the feet of that sadhu.<\/span><\/p>\n

Crying, one should say, ‘O Prabhu, please forgive my offense! Kindly grant the mercy of a Vaishnava to this wicked offender.’<\/span><\/p>\n

The sadhu, being full of compassion, with a tender heart will then forgive the offense and embrace him mercifully.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Your instruction, I submit at Your divine feet this description of the first offense.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

May this Hari-nama Cintamani become the very life of those people who swarm like bumblebees at the lotus feet of Hari Dasa.<\/span><\/p>\n
