The caption has been taken from Krishna Das' book Excerpt From Chants Of A Lifetime. "Chanting brings me into the space of love within, which to me is my guru, Neem Karoli Baba. From the outside, he was a little old man wrapped in a blanket in whose presence I felt unconditionally loved. On the inside, there was (and is) nothing in him that wasn't love. I have to talk about my guru because everything I have that is of true, lasting value comes from my relationship with him. I'm not trying to sell you. There is no group to join. We already joined it. It's called "the human race." Maharaj-ji, who was beyond any sectarian beliefs, said over and over again that we're all part of one family and that the same blood runs through our veins.- Excerpt from Chants of a Lifetime, Krishna Das."

And how she (Anushka Sharma) has been so strong through it and how she has been able to take all the challenges that have come her way. And I have seen everything.
