I am not performing this for publicity. Swamiji is of the view that it should be beneficial to the society, that’s all. In case of publicity, people will come in large numbers expecting a miracle cure. They will not be cured. They will go back disappointed. This will cause a wavering even in the mind of those devotees who earlier had firm faith. That is why Swamiji is not desirous of publicity. There is a greater harm seeking publicity. A lot of fame can be got, but it can mislead those who have placed firm faith. Transfer of the news by word of mouth is also propagation. People will come searching.
