Every seeker asks it at some point: am I praying the right way? A centuries-old parable, and a teaching from HH Guruji Sundar, offer an answer that has nothing to do with getting the words right.

In the marble stillness of Jal Mandir Pawapuri, a temple priest who had served Lord Mahavira his whole life recognised something in HH Guruji Sundar that changed the course of his own path.

Books can inform. Self-study can sharpen the mind. But there is a reason spiritual traditions have, for thousands of years, placed a living Guru at the centre of the path to Self-realisation.
