"Swami Vivekananda has tremendous power of inspiring people in hundreds of different ways. So let His Divine Leelas be revealed in many ways in the Divine Park and let Him linger in your (i.e. Doctorji's) heart forever."
(Srimad Swami Veereshwaranandaji Maharaj. Ex-President, Sri Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, Howrah)


"Dr. Udupa is a devotee with a rare gift of direct communication with Swami Vivekananda. The revelations he receives from Swamiji are all wonderful. When the world is getting darker and darker and more and more chaotic, it gives one a rare satisfaction to be assured by Swami Vivekananda that He is working out His plans through numerous devotees. Blessed are those who hear the clarion call of Swami Vivekananda Himself in the Divine Park."
(Dr. M. Lakshmi Kumari, Ex-President, Vivekananda Kendra, Kanyakumari)


"While plants and trees are grown in all other parks, exceptionally noble individuals are being shaped in the Divine Park in conformity with Swami Vivekananda's directions. The rekindling of spiritual strength is a prerequisite for the awakening of mankind. May this project for the kindling of spiritual energy which is the need of the day, pave the way for a grand success!"
(His Holiness Sri Vishwesha Thirtha Swamiji, Sri Pejawar Matt, Udupi)


"May the Divine Park engaged in the sacred task of the dissemination of noble ideas and ideals - and formation of noble individuals in the guidelines of Swami Vivekananda succeed in its mission."
(His Holiness Sri Sudhindra Thirtha Swamiji, Sri Kashi Matt Samsthana, Varanasi)


"The Divine Park is spearheading the campaign to awaken the spiritual strength and to train even for self-realisation. May this lead to Spiritual Renaissance and hail an era of bliss and peace"
(His Holiness Sri Bhattaraka Charukeerthi Panditacharya Varya Swamiji, Sri Jaina Math, Mudabidri.)


"The Divine Park is labouring untiringly to achieve the spiritual awakening of mankind. May its commendable efforts succeed and may the Divine Spark become manifest in every human being."
(Dr. D. Veerendra Heggade, Dharmadhikari, Dharmasthala)


"Those who are exposed to the divine spark of Divine Park become entirely new men. They feel blessed being showered by the holy stream of spiritual energy and being touched by the current of divine experience."
(Sri H. S. Krishnaswamy lyengar (HSK), Well-known Columnist, Mysore)


"The service of the Divine Park to mankind to awaken the spiritual energy in man and make him a better individual is unique. Let all its projects intended to drive away the clouds of ignorance and to kindle the light of devotion pave the way for a grand success. Let there be abundant support for the projects from all philanthropic people."
(Late Dr. A. R. Acharya, Founder, Associated Chemicals, Mumbai)


"In these days when human values are deteriorating and the real religious spirit is waning, it is heartening to note that the Divine Park is rendering inestimable service to revive them in the light of the message of Swami Vivekananda. Let Greater Divine Park be crowned with greater success!"
(Dr. M. R. Gajendragad Ex-Vice-Chancellor, Kuvempu University, Shimoga)


"The Divine Park demonstrates clearly that even a householder can qualify for the grace of God. Let the project Spiritual Revival lead to the rejuvenation of our society and let the Greater Divine Park give rise to a spring of love, joy, beauty and a sense of achievement forever."
(Sri T. J. A. Ganiga, Chairman, Andhra Bank, Hyderabad)


"The projects of the Divine Park are intended to promote devotion, spiritual fervour and energy and also to instill a spirit of adventure and integration. Let them touch the hearts of all men and bring light to every household!"
(Sri. Na. D'Souza, Litterateur, Sagar)


"Inscrutable are the ways of the All-merciful Lord. Many are the modes of the Divine to help the ignorant man realise his innate spiritual potential. Great incarnations of God often descend among men for the purpose, saints appear and live as examples to teach them spiritual values, and without even such physical manifestations, the transcendental divine knowledge is revealed and expressed through the medium of some earnestly devout persons to disseminate life-elevating spiritual ideas among people.

Dr. A. Chandrashekhara Udupa, the Founder and Managing Trustee of the Divine Park, Saligrama, is among the last mentioned. He is an ardent devotee of Swami Vivekananda, and he firmly believes that the knowledge he expresses is coming to him as inspired by the great Swamiji, whom he considers as his Guruji. Guruji answers the questions on several topics of spiritual and social interest which are instructive and enlightening. Some of the books containing such questions and answers which the Divine Park has published bear ample testimony to this fact.

Modern man has to imbibe positive ideas from all the sources from where they are available to him. Divine ideas will make their blissful expression in the mind of anyone who is receptive enough and no one can claim himself as an exclusive medium of such an expression. Dr. A. Chandrashekhara Udupa has such a receptive mind and the divine expression coming through him is profound. Let us hope he will continue to be a humble medium of Guruji for inculcating spiritual values in society which is the crying need of the hour."
(Swami Jyotirmayananda, author of "Vivekananda - A Comprehensive Study" - Madras, now Chennai)

"Needless to say the messages thus received constitute the quintessence of our scriptures reoriented to suit the needs of the contemporary world."
-Canara Times, August 14, 1989

These prayers do not single out any particular deity, but in the songs, which are sung in perfect harmony, the people pray for the well-being of the masses.
-The Times of India, Bangalore, August 4, 1990.

"His (Dr. Udupa's) single-minded devotion to Swami Vivekananda is as overwhelming as his concern to make this planet of ours a paradise. By his childlike simplicity, total surrender to Guruji and by his service-mindedness, Dr. Udupa has won the hearts of thousands of like-minded people."
-Blitz, May 21, 1994

"Dr. Udupa believes that more things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. The prayer hall at the Divine Park is kept open for all besides the worship of Hindu Gods and Goddesses, special prayers are offered to Allah on Fridays and to Jesus Christ on Sundays. The institution is a bold step in the direction of achieving a Universal Religion." -Bhavan's Journal, July 15, 1995.

The grace of God comes as a reward to those who are like God. He who seeks the blessing of God should cultivate the noble spirit of loving one and all shedding all bias. He should imbibe the spirit of large-heartedness and show in practice divine virtues like love, patience, forgiveness, dutifulness and selflessness. The Divine Park is the Spiritual Laboratory of Guruji - Swami Vivekananda, where experiments of inner refinement and implanting divine virtues are going on. Here abide all Gods and Goddesses of all religions. The followers of all religions are welcome here without any distinction or restriction.
