Both palms towards devotees
दोनों हथेलियाँ भक्तों की ओर
If it can be bought, it has nothing to do with me.
जो बिक सकता है, उसका मुझसे कोई संबंध नहीं।
Darshan is free, ekantik vartalap is never sold and there is no authorised agent. Every paid offer in his name is false by definition rather than by coincidence.
If it can be bought, it has nothing to do with him
This is the plainest sentence he has on the subject and he has had to repeat it a great deal, because a profitable industry has assembled itself around his name. Paid darshan slots, agents quoting a figure for a private meeting, WhatsApp numbers arranging priority entry, payment links promising a guaranteed audience. All of it is fraudulent, without a single exception.
The ashram's own arrangements are the evidence, and they are easy to check. Entry to Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj costs nothing. There is one queue and everybody is in it. No ticket counter exists, no booking system exists, no online payment of any kind is accepted, and no amount of money, influence or public recognition has ever moved anybody up the line. People who try to negotiate are turned down.
He is equally firm about the private conversation people are most often sold. Ekantik vartalap does happen, rarely, entirely at the ashram's discretion, and it has never been requestable in advance or purchasable at any price. Anyone offering to arrange one is describing a thing that does not exist, and the offer is the proof of the fraud rather than evidence of access.
The same applies to remedies. No puja is performed to order at this ashram, no upay is prescribed for a fee, no stone or thread or ritual is sold, and no outcome has ever been promised to anybody in exchange for anything. He is impatient about this in a way he rarely is about other subjects, because the people targeted are usually those already in trouble.
It is worth seeing that this follows from the teaching rather than being an administrative policy bolted on. If the name requires no permission, no initiation and no fee, then there is nothing left to sell. A tradition that let access run through payment would be contradicting its own central claim, and he has arranged the ashram so that the contradiction is not available.
What it asks of you is a single test you can apply to anything you encounter online. If money is being asked for in his name, the thing being offered is not connected to him. Do not send it, and if you have already been approached, report it through the contact page on this site so the details can be checked. Nothing genuine here is ever sold.
The rest of his most repeated sayings are on the quotes page, the teaching they belong to is set out on the teachings page, and the questions devotees bring him about anger, money, family and grief are answered on the questions answered page.

How do I set it as my phone wallpaper?
Tap the phone download button, let the image open, then press and hold it and choose save. Open your gallery, find the picture and set it as wallpaper from there. On an iPhone use the share button and Save Image first.
Can I share it straight to WhatsApp or Instagram?
Yes. On a phone the share button opens your own share sheet with the picture attached, so it goes across as an image rather than as a link. On a desktop the same button offers WhatsApp, Facebook, X, Telegram and a copy-link option.
