Indian culture has been glorified by the manifestation of the supreme through illustrious godmen and perfect masters. In any scripture in relation to the reality one can discern that the real expresses itself through the master and the master inturn enlightens about the real. Infact, it shall not be remote from truth if one asseverates that Indian culture has been an efflorescence of spiritual realisation for culture is ever synonymous with spiritual consciousness. The seeker, the search and the sought are nothing but the expressions of the one reality and that the triads such as the above cannot exist at all in the immediacy of God experience have been unmistakably demonstrated time and again in the hagiographies of God men. Ipso facto, Bhagavan Sridhar Swami is a living expression of the impersonal timeless.

Bhagavan Sridhara Swami is an exemplar of light culminating into luminosity, of love crowning into loveliness of blessedness and of life consummating into the life divine. He is an immaculate expression of the real in the unbroken line of illumined souls who have spread the fragrance of both eternity and eternality. Being a veritable embodiment of all that is blessed, of all that is pure and consecrated in love and joy, of all that is good and great, of all that is true and serene and of all that is in consonance with the auspicious, Sridhara Swami irradiates the glory of the real. His is the deathless experience of the happiness perpetual. Being related to the empyrean and yet very much belonging to and beautifying the ephemeral with an ethereal halo Sridhara Swami draws the attention of the man to his imperishable nature. His is the voice of God articulating, the gospels of truth and goodness of joy in the innermost depths of the seekers of the sublime. Sridhara Swami reiterates in conformity with the true vision of the absolute that "to identify the Guru as the impersonal indwelling reality is to realise the truths.
