In Mysore, Swamiji got to know Diwan Swshadri Iyer and also the Maharaja of Mysore. The Swamiji's discourse in Sanskrit at a gathering of scholars deeply impressed the Maharaja. One day he questioned the Swamiji as to his future plans. India is the land of many religions and schools of philosophy. The Western world has progressed in science.
Human welfare is possible only by a reconciliation of the two.
Swamiji thanked the Maharaja for his offer and promised him that he would make use of it when he needed it, and took leave of him. Swamiji next visited Ramanad. Bhaskara Setupati was the ruler of Ramanad at that time. He discussed with Swamiji the problems that the country was facing. The prince treated him with great respect.
