Sri Swamiji says “Love towards all is what humanity is!! When we see the smile of another individual we respond with a smile, recognizing and acknowledging the sameness of species, even if we do not share the same language, culture, or ethnicity. But we do not do the same with animals, birds, reptiles, or insects.
Sri Swamiji declares, based on ancient Indian texts, that parrots have the ability to travel into invisible spiritual dimensions and to convey essential nourishment to departed human souls. He shares with us hitherto unknown significant facts about parrots according to Numerology, Astrology, Musicology, and Yoga.
