Maharishi and Swami Muktananda in Seelisberg

In the late 1970's during Muktananda's visit to Australia, a group of Governors and Sidhas in Melbourne were requested by Maharishi to go and pay their respect to Muktananda and give him Maharishi's regards. Muktananda showed them great respect as a group and received the delegation at a private meeting. During this private meeting, Muktananda told Maharishi¹s group, "Maharishi is here for the world. You may never see Maharishi yourself, but what Maharishi has given you is a technique to clean your own self. My disciples have to be physically with me (in my presence). Maharishi has given you a technique to cleanse and purify yourselves and it is not just for yourselves, it is a technique to cleanse the whole world.
I am full of admiration for anyone on your path. It is a path of great responsibility. I have full admiration for Maharishi and for each of you. "Maharishi's path is unique. You only need to do what he has asked you to practice. It is glorious but it is not easy to be self sufficient. Devotion must be in the heart rather than physically sitting at the foot of the Master. Devotion must be in your heart. This is because Maharishi is here for the whole world."
