The Myth of Conflict between Advaita and Worship

In this audio, Poojya Swamiji makes it abundantly clear that there is no conflict between Advaita (non-dual philosophy) and Worship. A real Advaitin will be at home with any form of worship. He understands that all worship is an effort for self-purification and enlightenment. He will be harmonious with all kinds of worship.
To find contradiction is dvaita. Not to have contradiction and being harmonious alone is advaita.
