Venerable Parents are Foremost to be Adored

(Excerpts from Pujya Bapuji Satsnag)
A father was sitting with his son on his lap. A crow came sat on the pavement of the balcony. The son asked the father, papa What is this?”
This is a crow.
The son asked again, What is this?”
The father replied agisn, The is a crow.”
The son asked several times Papa What is this?
And the father replied each time with all affection, this is a crow my son’
Years passed by and the father grew old. One day the father was sitting on a mat. Somebody came to meet his son. The father asked. Who was he?”
The son told him the name of the visitor. After a while another man came and father asked agisn who he was. The son got annoyed and yelled at the father, why don’t you quiet. You have nothing to do. What businesses do you have with who has come and who has gone? Why do you keep poking your nose everywhere?
The father sighed supporting his head with both hands and said in a low painful voice, you are so annoyed at my asking some thing once your used to ask the same question tens of times yet I never rebuked you I replied you many times, Dear son it is a crow.
Children you should never scorn your parents. They are to be venerated. It is your bounden duty to give them respect. Your parents have nurtured you with affection bearing all king of hardships. You cannot even imagine what desists yurt parents must have suffered for you sake since your birth. You mother has slept several nights in wet while making your sleep in dry. They brought your up enduring son many hard ship and no you feel difficulty in uttering two words of affection floor your old parents. Once feels ashamed in calling his own father as father.”
Following is an accidence which happened a few years back. The son of a farmer was pursing his studies in law while staying at Allahabad. The father would convey to him ghee. Gur (raw sugar) rice pulse etc. from his home so that the may get ghee and other things and may remain healthy.
Once the son was having his breakfast of tea bread with his friends. In the meatiness the farmer reached there. His dhoti was torn was wearing leather shoes and was holding a stick stooping over it his waist. He dismounted the bundle. The son thought, The old man may ruin my relation Meanwhile his friends asked who is this old man?
Son he is my savant. The son said it very softly but the father some how heard it. He said I accept that I am a servant but not his rather his mother Hence I brought all this.
This is the result of English education that one is feeling ashamed or is getting embarrassed in calling his father inform of his friends Shun such English education and ostentation which takes you away from you culture.
Sixty two years have passed since India become impendent but the slavery to Englishmen has still not left the mind and heart.
Father is after all father, in what ever condition he many be. Prahlad refers lo his father demon Hiranyaskhipu who gave him son many trundles as putashri and don’t you feel ashamed in reefing your father who brings you up and nourishes you while utterly exerting himself as servant.
Indian Culture attributes the parent as gods Many the mother be the God. May the father by thy God If we being born in such divine culture instead of paying reverence to parents start expressing disdain towards them and that too by being under the influence of western voluptuous culture; How fat is it right? Lord Gansesh became theorems revered solely by circumambulating His parents. Even today Sri Ganeshji is worshipped first in every religious ceremony. Shravan Kumar never cared for the hardships while serving his parents and finally gave up his life while serving them. Dev vrat Bhisham observed the vow of celibacy thought-out sake of his father pleasure and becomes world famous. You have also been born in the pious land of Great Men. Then parent show endure innumerable adversities and sacrifice their own comfits for the ske of their children, Deserve utmost reverence, Serve them to become blessed. A saint has rightly remarked.
The one who serves hi parents, Need not visit hold places or do japa.
The once how serves his parents and pays them respect becomes honored forever. I served my parents and guru and the benefit which incurred from it cannot be described in words. Narayan.. Narayan.
The children who do not respect their parents cannot ever achieve their goals in life. On the contrary those who reverse their parents achieve greatness and bring pride to their parents and nation. But it is not necessary to obey such commands of the parents or fringes which forbid us from moving on the path of the Lord.
The one who doesn’t adore Ram Vaidenhi; Abandon him as a crores enemy though he many be your most loved one.
Ego; The cause of Pleasure and pain..
So long as the body is there it require a shelter for itself. It may be a palace the Gurus ashram or a thatched hut in the jungle. Fro the egoless all the three types of shelter are equal; and for the egotistic sit is impossible to remind unattached with any shelter. One living in palace will develop the ego I am a king an one living in a hut or ashram will develop the ego I am a great ascetic so the cause of pleasure or pain is verity the ego that desires to possess or renounce. There is not difference of relative value indistinct objects. There forest to renounce a condition, driven by accretion lands takes shelter in another. Out of attachment is indicative of nothing but a tendency of self assertiveness. Because the causes of pleasure an pain attachment an aversion respectively and both of them spring form the ego hence one should renounce ego. This in effect leads to the renunciation of all and one is blessed with liberation unasked for the same.

Be Immaculate Soul

The Karmayogi, who has fully conquered his mind and subdue his senses, whose heart is pure and who has identified his self with the self of all beings viz, God, remains unaffected even though performing action.
The immaculate souls is the one with pure mind and unsullied consciousness. One’s soul can becomes pure and pristine thoughs several means. It can be gained through the practice of selfless services, through the practice of listening mention contemplation. The being who has perfected his inner faculty through the practice of self discipline, pranayama (exercising control over the process of breathing) meditation japa (reverential repletion of he Lord name)etc. can be called a Karmayogi As lord Hanuman attained impeccability of soul through his Lord service king janak attained it through selfless service; king parikshit achieved it through his rapt attention towards sarsnag. Such unsullied beings ramin untainted even while performing mundane tasks.
The Karmayogi who has fully eonqueered senses becomes obedient and mere tools or means to perform mundane takes. The purity of consciousness bestows the austerity of mind which in turn causes the senses to behave like a pet dog. Alternatively one can articulate that if a driver is proficient then the carious parts of the vehicle like gear, clutch brakes steering accelerator etc, all remain under his control. Similarly one whose mind is under his control can adeptly control can adeptly control his senses but on the other hand he who can’t restrict the behavior of his mind, can easily get swept away by eh sense as an inexperienced driver is zoomed by his vehicle. Heces the being with chaste consciousness needn’t to gain hegemony over his senses. Rather this becomes a mere delight for such an austere being. Dominance over the senses means the mind the intellect should onto be infested with dualities of attachment and spitefulness. While performing mundane activities and using the senses the being when remains unaffected by the perceived pain s to pleasure of life then he truly conquers his senses as well as mind. One many find a yogi or a Karmayogi who has conquered his mind land sense but in this case one mandatory condition applies one needs to identify his self with the self of all benign. As the ether is in all post and all post dwell in eth ether similarly one who visualizes his individual self in all beings and all beings inhimslelf such a great being who has truly established his self with the self of all being remains detached while perorormuign worldly takes. Other wise the practice of yoga man bestow the command over sense resulted in purity of mind but be different form the way he carries out activities Resultantly he carries out his activities. Resultantly he ramin attached to the bent of his mind and intellect. To the contrary one who has idestiitlfied his self with the self of all beings practically dwells in all conscious beings. He disconnects himself form his indignual self. He no more considers himself an insular who is limited only to in body Rather he consider himself a cosmopolitan like the ether. Now if the of one pot is transferred to the other does it make any difference to the lather? Similarly the enlighten being who has truly established himself in all living begins does not feel elation by the zenith nor does not get afflicted any the nadir of his life. Neither the most advantage nor the utmost disadvantage of his life can affect his state of mind any more. Such get beings ar not carried ways by any mundane obligations. Just as the words inscribe over the surface of water are unable to water are unable to stimulate any impression similarly the mundane activates carried out by such great binges do not affect their mind or intellect you may endeavor to write any verse or words to thanks kudos benediction lor even abuse on the current water but practically every written words becomes illegible. The process of any such endeavor mingt be visible to anyone but it ramin ineffectual in affecting ineffectual in affecting the surface of running water. Similarly one whose mind has detached itself and has becomes unsullied carries out the worldly activates the surface of running water. Similarly on whose mind has detached itself and has become unsullied carries out the worldly acuities like inscribing words on the surface of water. This oneself with the self of all beings verily possesses the above cited distinctiveness but our gaze has firmly established itself on the appellation and physical pulchritude that we have virtual over looked its existence. Those who tend to fix their eyes on the sky are to some extant broadband minded and all encompassing but those who look only down. Become provincial and close minded. Those who the realm of inner consciousness by fixing their gaze on the ether eventually becomes lone who has sought identify with one and all
He who has purified his inner consciousness has concentrated his mind through the practices of yoga and finally attained self realization or another words has realized or in other words has realized or in other words has realized or in other words has realized his self as in all beings such an asbnosulte begins has virtually accomplished the entire karmayoga mission of his life. But on who is just a neophyte on the celestial path of purifying the inner consciousness basically should not aspire for self solace and should not be able to endure the agony of other begins. Resultantly the time and energy which other wise would have exhausted in self delight will be saved. The leisure and contentment gained through seeing others happy will proportionately be much higher. On not being able to see others suffering he will use up his entire visor to expel the agony of others. The thought of dismissing the distress of other will mitigate the thought of self enjoyment. Blissfulness gamed through noble repsonshlites is certainly much more as compared to that of self gratification.
Similarly the satisfaction gained dispelling the distress of others is also much more than what one gets on getting rid of individual affections. No matter you get satisfaction on getting a hearty mela. But if you nurture pure and undefiled feelings, You certainly receive more fulfillments when you provide the same to a deprived being. A selfish with a corrupted mind will fell uneasy on saving others. The purity of mind and intellect of a Karmayogi is appraised when he doesn’t feel aginted in spite of the most adverse of a circumstance.
We easily becomes restless when somebody directs us against our wishes. justifies the lowdown state of our inner faculty. The more tainted the mind the more ittitable it becomes at the slightest pretext. Despite knowing our relationship with the adviser whet her he is our parent guru neighbors, mentor or all well wisher we tend to nurture malevolence for them. An individual with pure mind will show indebtedness’ for the benefice suffusion where as the same advise will prove to be source of rancor for the sullied being. In nut shell as is one bent of mind son is his receptivity of a particular thing. A chaste beings will listen to the supreme knowledge impaired by his guru or metro with so rapt attention hat he unconditionally surrenders himself. The Mahabharata battle was about to start. Sanjay who was bestowed with divine sight. Used to narrate the visual of the battlefield to Dhrtirahsthra sunray becomes thrilled and over whelmed while recounting Lord Krishan ambrosial sermon, of the Gita to Arjuna His voice faltered with emotions. It seemed as if while recounting the conversation of the self realized begins. He was lost inverse of the eight folded emotions and had attained unification with the Braham. For a moment he remained tranquil in the state of supreme bliss of non duality and complete absence of thought. There after once aging when the thought wave arose in his mind he said your majesty in this way Lord Krishan espoused to Arjuna. At this the unfortunate Dhrtirahsthra Reacted why do you indulge in irrelevant gossip. Tell me earnestly whet her my progeny will turn out to winner or not?
The accurse king could not anger sunray’s immense celestial treasure because the mind and intellect of Dhrtirahsthra was impure and tainted. Similarly us several times by saying you are the Braham the supreme consciences you are the witness the observer He persuades u to reverentially repeat the sacred name of the indweller But on accent of our tainted hearts the significant bid does not find agreement with us and when ever Guru dev tries to put and body thought his facings, it pinches the person. Only a defiled mid finds such a trial as inconvenient and worrisome. Conjunctly he becomes upset and disturbed. As a matter of fact one should appreciate that some body is helping us in eradicating our fault his kindness upon us to get rid of our imperfection. It is worthy to defiled mind and intellect. By attaining soul and becoming identifying one self as the self in all begins we should accomplish supreme salvation.
Sankapa The Expansion of Thoughts
Sankapa the expansion of the mind thoughts towards desired objects is the consequence of past fulfilled desire. Sence enjoyments of the past give rise to sankalap in the future. If a samkapa is acceded to it will result integument of some worldly pleasure and that in turn gives rise to further sankaplas. The pleasure derived form fulfillment of sankaplas is therein ground for fresh sankaplpas. If we go for pleasure of wish fulfillment desires will arise one after the other and we will always remain discontented. Do not enjoy the pleasure of wise fulfillment and don’t revel in the peace you will derive form getting rid of desire. Then you will become a jivanmukta (liberated while living). You will becomes free from the pain of non fluffiest of desire. Pain of non fulfillment to of resolves is felt only if you enjoy the pleasure of their fullfimnet. Sankalapas is not itself an object. A sankalapas is an indication of your remote past when you enjoyed wish fullfimnet; or it is suggestive of a future plan or it is the memory or past action. The incessant though current can not be stooped by your efforts. Desires will rise but you should disassociate your self from them. Sankalapas can be of good or evil nature. If is with in your power to fulfill a justifiable sankalapas do fulfit it. Only those sankalapas should be fulfilled which are for the good of others. That is called duty. The sankalapas that cannot be fulfilled and rises again and again is contrary to reason and it is beyond your power to fulfit it. There fore it should be renounced. That will make you free form all vacillations.
Never think of doing what you cannot do and never do what ought not to do. What you can do and you should do, do it forth wish don’t keep it in abeyance. Thus you will attain to Yoga in the end.

Auspicious Days

Colour your Heart along with the Body
(Holi 28 February)-
“Holi’ is a pious festival which signifies the Indian culture. It is a beautiful occasion to forget mutual ill feelings and to express feelings of sympathy and cooperation, is a sacrificial fire where in oblation of evil tendencies and vices is offered. It is a festival of unleashing the joy divinity, humility simplicity and the joy of spontaneity hidden with in.
We have been celebrating this festival of Holi since accident times. Lord Shiva had burnt Cupid on this day and Holika who had a boon to remainunburnt even in fire took Prahlad on her lap and entered into the blazing flames. Holika as hunt while prahlad endowed with Bhakti succeeded in singing the song of immortality meaning thereby that he was not affected by blazing fir on account of his innocent devotion.
Thus this festival gives the message that the righteous persons should not fear the tamarisk evil person howsoever mighty and powerful he may be. The noble persons may seem to be little ones like prahlad still they should march forward taking refuge in God.
Any adversity or hurdle doesn’t have the guts to oppress Me; the world it existence to me not I to it. These lines became evident in the lives of prahlad mira shabari Tukarmji etc. Ho… li means let the dead bury the dead. Do not remember the past weaknesses and do not be scared of the future March ahead March ahead.
This festival Holi is meant for arousing the cheer hidden with in you. People keep does and cast as pets to obtain pleasure from them in consequences they invite the harmful effects of the bacteria in their life. The gondi bacteria found in the stomach of cast harm the mentally weak person and also the pregnant woman and small children. Men takes refuge incest dogs pan mislay liquor meat, clubs and others to somehow find joy. The festival of Holi says not to this.
Take shelter in Him (self joy and self illumination) alone with all your being. Arjuna.
Don’t panic my dear children holi Ho li The one who has learnt the art of drinking he poison of sorrows happily it is true that he skilled threat of living in this world. Everybody wants joy love and health in his life. For this you should forget attackemnts and aversions and think thus In everyone abides the supreme Beings Ram; love all for none is a stranger. These pious festivals of India culture and the ways to celebrate them do not only enhance the dodily health and impart divine knowledge to the intellect.
During summer were get direct sun light on our skin there by the hart in the body increase. It is possible that with increase in body heart there may be increase in anger and on may also feel dejection. Thus to enhance the tolerance to heat and protect the body form the adverse effects of the sharp sun light neural colors of flowers are collected on the day of Holi and sprinkled on one another.
We do celebrate festivals but we remain miles ways form the object betided their celebration. The aim with which our Rishi planned from them rather celebrate them guided by our passion.
This festival is naturally romantic as the season is changing. In the Vedic times extract of the flowers of palash (butea frondosa) was used to confront the scorching rays of the sun which shatters the body. This was a plan for maintaining the imbuing and balancing the seven dhatus and colours present in the body. The palash flowers nourish our body mind intellect and digestives system. The one who eats food on the leaves of palash also gains health an merits and it aids in augmenting his sattva guna (purity).
Chewing 2 black pepper along with 15-20 soft leaves of neem for 10-20 days during this season change ensures a robust heath thought out the year. the person who takes salt less diet for 15 days sets joy and longevity enhanced. Consumption of hkhajur (date) is prohibited after Holi.
The Holi night is one among the four auspicious great night which endows one wit merits. The japa and jagram (keeping ) vigil on the night of Holi is very beneficial gives immense fruits. Thus everyone should take the benefit of acquiring spiritual merits by keeping vigil and doing japa all night. This in not only the festival of colours. It awakens inner consciousness, inner repose and love of the inner self.
Hiranyakashipu sister Holika had been blessed with the boon that she would rain unhurt even infirmed. Holika was made to sit with prahlad in her lap in the pyre which was get on fire. But what a surprise the blessed Holika was burnt in the fire while prahlad come out alive Reverse happened because prahlad had taken refuge in Truth in Lord.
Saint say that Prahlad stands for the jiva Hiranyakashipu stands for blind ambition desires keep inciting man to remain engaged in the samara. Holika represents ignorance avidly which keeps the Jiva sit on her lap and wisher to blaze him in the fire of the three kinds of affection. If Prahlad i.e. jiva seeks refuge in the lord and sad guru them the law of nature is changed with her blessings. The fire of the threefold affliction gets transformed into the fire of Knowledge. Holika which reprints ignorance gets reduced to ashes in the fire of knowledge and jiva (Parhald) gets liberated. This is the symbolism
Holi is the festival of colours. Do play but with the Guru jnana
The knowledge imparted by the guru. You play Hoil with chemical colours every year. Dye your heart with the Colour of Gurujnana this times. If you do that you will also say. Bhola it was a mice Hoil which washed out the faith of delusion and differences; There remained only the self which actually was Existent. Holi means whatever was destined to happen happened. Now let us start a new life. Let us help the poor and down trodden, exploited ignored the harassed the illiterate even the lowest person in the society . You never know how long you will live, perform some such tasks that thousands of heats would bless you tread the path treading which some became devotes kike prahlad. Will you take courage? So arise and march ahead on the pious path to attain divine joy dive knowledge and divine bliss.

Your Opinion

May the Perpetrators be Doomed!
These days many news channels and newspapers disseminate misleading news item of revered saint Sri Asaram ji Bapu being enmeshed in the police trap. And that the Gujarat police has registered a case against the revered saint under IPC section 307 and many other such sections for all eageldly being involved in shooting and attacking Raju Chandak alias Raju Lambu. The fact is threadbare saint who has been deeply engrossed not in awakening, safeguarding and propaging the Hindu culture and the Suntan Dharma (the eternal and time honored culture) but also encouraging various beneficent acts in the society such as leading a life free from addiction commanding a robust and healthy life through the practice of Yoga revitalizing and fortifying the depressed lot with vigor and verve through various spiritual mantras inculcation the moral and virtuous impression in the budding youth through the Bal samskar associations, visiting the colonies of poor and downtrodden himself during the main Hindu festivals and getting distributed the necessary items etc. Could any beneficent being performing such acts and generosity and munificence be involved in grisly act of shooting anyone? Nay Never Impossible.
The police as well as the administration have the control and authority and creating even a hill out of a mole. By wielding their wands they the dominance to cower an innocent person down and even to accept a crime that he was never committed. It is true that the convicts must be punished and everyone should get justices also. But it is very unfortunate that in this country even today the proclaimed offended evades the dictate of law. The C.D. cassette illustrating unlawful sabotaging activities done by the police and the authorities in Bapuji shocked us. It reminds us of theses pages of history that depicted the brutal and pities torture given by the British to sunugated Indians. The mere reminiscence of how the Indians were ruthlessly tethered and threshed by the British move our hearts immensely. Hundreds of spirits aspirants in the ashram were pushed and dragged by their locks, knocked by eh stocks of rifles whacked by batons and sticks in their private parts and taken away in police vans and like criminals. Not only this the cash a and property of the ashram was ruthlessly destroyed ransacked and looted by the police. The violence coinsured unabated for many hours. The spiritual seeker were so cruelly thrashed that their limbs were badly mutilated. Such an unlawful and unauthorized act of the police falls under which section of the constitution can anyone which section of the constituent can anyone answer? Which stature authorizers the police to hit and hammer the innocent an faultless being?
Is the police of any region of India audacious enough to enter thepraecints of any church or mosque (as they done in revered Bapuji ashram) ruthlessly carry out the sabotage or courageous enough to thrash any priest over there. No they can never dare to do so becomes they are very much aware of the fort with dire consequences they know the extent of carnage and mass destruction they have to face thereafter. It only in Hindu saint and sages they demonstrate the force of their callous rule. Many a statesman upholds assertions favoring SIMI(a militant organization). Some blatantly vituperate mother India by calling her a witch Another one advocates for forbidding to execute such a cruel militant as Afjal guru.
Why does the police refrain form arresting such incumbent statesmen for an offensive transgression? Why is it afraid of openly shooting theprclamied offenders and militants. Why are such militants given royal treatment in the jails. Why are they saved dilseiccaies like Biryani in the jails? 13th September 2008 our national capital Delhi quivered on account of bomb blasts. 26 November 2008 Mumbai the industrial capital of India was also quaked by blasts. Is the attack on Swami Adityamath not an terrorist activity? Is the murder of Swami Lakshmananadna not a part of terrorism? Several horrifying manifestations of Islamic militancy are frightening the countrymen in a formidable manne. In district Muzzafrangar, the religious procession of the Hindu was disdainfully sacrilege. In sultanpur therligious procession on Gansesh chaturthi was appallingly attacked but no action was taken against these fanatics. The Hindu are suppressed in order to satiate theses brutal militant organization. We have to potently confront any such antagonistic elements that act menacingly or cast a threatening look at out saints sages and the Hindu religion. The invasion on the ashram of sant Sri Asaeramji Bapu is a well planned conspiracy. We have to forceful fight against such conspirator. Hindu fraternity if becomes enervated of its feeling to struggle and fight back with the offenders of its noble culture and relation it might have to witness the days subjugation once
The all India Hindu Mahasablha remains ever vigilant against such complicacies. The hearts of its members are always busing with patriotic feeling like that of honorable valiant Savarkarji. The organization is ready to make any sacrifice to fight against the in justice done to revered Bapuji. Under the guardianship of regional president Shri Mahant
Giri (peethadhishwas Dudhesghwarnath Math Ghaziabad), the strategy to fight against the atrocities as wall as the vicious police administration through the medium of pike ting demonstration memorandum in each district of Uttar Pradesh and also the approach to fight against it though the power of spiritual force will be decided during the next regional committee meeting. The national president of the organization swami Chakrapaaniji incident. The executive president of uttar Pradesh Shri Rakish Kumar Arya, advocate has also severely criticized this unfair and unwarranted attune of he police. Lord sir Ram Lord Krishan Sri Parshuran pavanpurta Sri Hanuman Maharishi Dadhichi Maharishi Gutam all during their manifestation on this earth have stood up against injustice and confronted anarchy. We consider ourselves as their devotees and follows. Then why should we be afraid of it? Innumerable noble valiant have gladly laid down their lives. We too will have to remain ever vigilant to realize the cherished vision of those revolutionaries and freedom fighters.
With thanks Manoj Tivedji Editor Hindu Vaata Secretary General U.P Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha.
Ambrsial words of a saint.
He who betrays his Gurudev. Suffer affliction for four consecutive births. In the first birth he attains the mortal sheath of a Dog,
That sleeps amidst the path. Such being expends his life woofing and braking only And howls upon being thrashed.
In the second birth it urns out to be an oxen who remains fastened as toiling wretch at the house of an oil man. Insatiate by the dry grass hanges about blindfolded. The third birth is of a mocked. Tethered by the juggler rope. Dancing to the tunes of conjure Goes begging door to door. The fourth broth will be of a Camel, Shackled to a wooden stake says kabir such a being drifts forms east to west weighed down by limitless yoke.

Words Fail to Sing His Glory

Incarnation Day of Revered
Swami Sri Leelashahji Maharaj; 11th March
Deserving to be remembered in the morning, revered Swami Sri Leelashahji Maharaj was a Self realized saint established in the Truth consciousness Bliss Personified Supreme self and had guided many sadhakas (aspirants) towards the same. His life is a source of divine inspiration for all living beings on earth. His each and every action wad directed towards the welfare to the entire creation. His mere darshan world please the minds, the clouds of disappointment would get dispersed man the dejected souls get charged with zeal and with the perplexities to the confused ones being solved, a new life world posses them. His complete life was in a way a confluence of the Yoga of Karam (action) (knowledge) and Bhakti (devotion). He was an accomplished yogi having tremendous powers. Many incidences occurred knowingly or unknowingly in His life suggestive of his yogic powers, like halting the train moving a neem tree across the ground, giving eye sight to the blind, and child to the barren etc.
Once saint leelaram (former name) was passing thorough a village, A poor woman was crying over her dean son. She had kept the dead body of her child a little far form her road. Seeing a dead child sleeping on road suddenly the following words came up his mouth Child Get up.
Listening to the words of sant Leelaram, the dead child got up at the saint’s feet. The poor mother, on seeing this miracle, came ruining and started expressing her heartfelt gratitude holding the saint feet. Santeria and to the woman mother I pray to your not to tell about this incidence to anyone, But how long could the truth be concealed?
”Even if one performs austerities in the nether world it is revealed in the heaven. Says Rajjab, that in all the three worlds the son of Hari cannot remind hidden.
With in short time the villagers came to know of the might of this Great Man. Having know this, He at once left the village and went else where.
Sant Leelaram would sing the following lines lo his self composed to his apiece:
Life is shout one does not love in this mortal world forever, Do some able tasks in this short span; through your body, serve the world: and surrender your mind to God, With a pure intellect, becomes established in the Truth. And attain the state of liberation: Thus His entire life was benevolent. The feeling only of benevolent an diving love circulated in his each and every vein. The message of His life was, as long as there is life keep performing altruistic activates. Know your self attain your supreme bliss which is the burdens of sense of doer ship.
He carried out several public welfare works in different regions but never entertained the feeling of being the doer. He was an epitome of humility and selflessness. He used to say there acts are accomplished by that one Great (divine) power at different place. Leela doesn’t do anything.

Biography of Saints

On Making False Accusation, Nature Raged with fury
A painful sigh from an innocent heart invites God’s rage. When an offender offence becomes heinous, he get punished immediately. If the offenders previous karma are somewhat good then the gets punished late but one definitely gets the fruits of committing the offences. Even if you don’t what it, you will get it. This is rule of Karma. The Rule of God is very firm. The person who tolerated injustice expiated his negative Karam but the troublemaker’s good karma got destroyed. When the times comes for the troublemaker to face the effects of his negatives karma, it will really be a tough situation.
There was a highly evolved saint who was a householder. His name was Jaideji. Greet Govind was his composition. Once he set out on a journey. A king paid him due respect and presented him with gold, silver coins etc.
Though Jaidevji did not want to take still for the pleasure of the king, he; accepted a few gift without any desire. He proceeded towards his village. When he reached a dense jungle then some dacits attacked him from behind. They snatched all his possessions and cut his limbs and shoved him in a wall. The well did not have much water it was only knee deep. How could he drown in the mire? He fell an d landed as if on la cushion.
Jaidevji says Govind this is also some sport of yours wonder is infinite. Taking like this he started humming God’s name. Meanwhile Lakshamn sen the king gave the command to check the well. On looking into the well the servant found Jaidevji humming a Bhajans. Having received orders form the king he was immediately lifted out from the well.
The king asked Maharaj which evil person has put you in this state? Who hacked your arms and legs? Just issue a command and I will sentence him to death.
That wise an great man said it is nothing. The owner of these limbs cut them. The doer and the one who gets things done is God.
He is one who abides in very heart. He and the one who cut them both are the same.
No no Anyway do tell me. Is then command of the one in whom you have faith is obeyed. You will not raise this topic again.
The king lips were sealed. The kind took to his place. The physicians arrived. Whatever treatment was to be given was done.
With time incident become s old. The king thought of organizing a sacrificial ceremony in which saints and devotes would come form far and wide. His people would get the darshan of these saints thus cleansing their minds, their emotions and their thoughts. May karam and the fruits of karam be fright and may the future be bight.
The sacrificial ceremony was organized Jaidevji was made to sit on the chief throne. The guests arrived. A bharara was arranged. All had their meals. Those same four dacoits thouts, By disguising ourselves as sages in a saints. Bandera we will get offerings. When they came in they were shocked oh The man whose wealth we snatched whose limbs we hacked and whom we threw into the well is today seated on a there that is even that that of the king Now this does not bode well for us. What should we do? We cannot to back and the death ahead is not free to danger.By this time Jaidevji saw those deacots disguised as sages. Hinting at them he said four are my old friends. I have been greatly factored by them. I can never forget their obligation. Whatever offerings you want to give me please hand in over to them.
Now the dacoits are shaking with fear that the truth of our identity is being revealed. Now these are out as couple of breaths. On the otter hand Jaidevji bore good will towards them in his mind.
The king gave them with great respect silver vessels gold coins sweetmeats, clothes etc. Jaideji said Minister Make these great mean cores the jungle and reach their destination.
While walking the minister wonder about how evolved these great men are. He asked them with reverence, Great Men please forgive me for asking, Jaidevji Maharaj hold you in great esteem and the king also honored you. What is your link with Jaidevji?
These four dacoits exchanged glances with each other. They want al little further and wove a story. It so happens that Jaidev is an old friends of ours. We were administrative
Officials in a state. He stole so much wealth that inaner the king gave him a death sentence. But out of compassion we saved him and left him after getting his arms and legs hacked.
Sacred that we would reveal the truth, he has gives us his this grand welcomes to shut out mouths.
Look how scoundrels weave stores The story hadn’t even finished when the Creator count not treated it any more and the earth split. The four blubbered and choked to death. They were burin alive. The Minster was shocked that death can occur like this. He brought back the offerings that had been gives to them. He returned them to the king and narrated the whole incident to him.
The kind told the whole story to Jaidevji with an astonished disputation Maharaj raised both his hacked arms up wards and exclaimed. Oh God you granted those poor begins the refuge of untimely death His eyes welled up with tears. God felt that he bears pity even for such serious offenders. Then God compassion arm s legs becomes whole again. The king as shocked.
He appealed to him with great curiosity Maharaj now tell me the truth who were they.
Now Jaidevji had to reveal the truth. Narrating the whole incident, he said kind I thought they lack money. That is why they commit such serious offences. Who knows in what wombs they will have to be reborn and will have to suffer the firths of theses actions. This time I will make you give them many offering and lots of money so that they don’t repeat these grave crimes. Because when any offered commits an offence. Whether anyone sees it or not his offence gradually engulfs him up. Yet they did not stay away form committing offences and the Creator could tolerate it no more. The earth split because of God’ fury and they got choked to death.
If one treats a person whole is generous, who is a well wisher of humanity unjustly or harm his then he may tolerate it but the Creator definitely punishes the offender, sooner or later.
A slanderer of saint is a brutal butcher; a slanderer o saint is cursed by Transcendent Lord. The hopes of a slanderer of the saints are never fulfilled, the slanderer of the saint departs disappointed.
It you remain worriless peaceful and blissful then the factorable will happen to you. Even if some one does some thing unfavorable to you. Sooner or later naught will change that person behavior and that person will becomes conformable towards you. If the person does even in fourteen universes and what is person left with if he lacks peace? He meets complete destruction. There is no peace in the dying no worriless sleep an night and there is no tranquility in the heart. Whatever else he possesses is of no value.

Pujyashree’s Address at the Annual Conference of ‘Rishi Prasad’
On the occasion of Uttarayan Shivir the annual conference of Rishi Prasad sevadharis was solemnized in the pious land of lord Mahakaleshwar, Ujjain. In it pujyashree’s said in his utterly intimate address.
It is very great sever to link people to God and to the words of saints. Even a political leader does sever winning acclaim or for flattery, even a dog swing its tail on seeing a loaf of bread but carrying out seva selflessly enduring honor and insult, heart and cold storms and calamites not was ego trip but for divine love not for power or popularity but for humanity with auspicious feelings for al creatures is really a stupendous achievement.”

Inspiring Anecdotes

Set out before it is too Late..
The king of Magadh used to take a lot of care of his stable and bull house. He used to visit his horses and bulls regularly and caress them. Once bull in the bulls hours was very beautiful. His ivory clory long horns and elected shoulders used to attract nay one. The king was very fond of him.Once the King want to distant states, in order to expand his territory. When he returned he as shocked to see the state of his favorite bull. He asked the elderly attendant who used to take care of the bulls. The bull which possessed a robust body complexion tall shoulders devoid of radiance and his youth is dwindled. How came the centre of attraction.
The servant replied living “O king His youth has passed. Almost every living being comes to the same plight in old age and at last death hovers around them Realizing this very perishable nature and baseness of the visible world, thoughtful and intelligent kings like you, seek satsang taking refuge in Great Men awakened in the Eternal and Truth Consciousness, in order to get awakened in supreme Self. The Kind of Magadh (now south Bihar) remained engrossed in these thoughts all night. It seems as if the dormant dispassion of the king was aroused by the old age of the bull and the words of the trustworthy experience servant of the bull house. The king started contemplating, Oh world Fie unto your perishable and ever exchanging nature. Everyone who claimed possession on you died. You never accompanied anyone. You are yourself mortal. Those who considers themselves fortunate on possessing you, such dull witted ones remain lost in the false imagination of having right to the throne seen in a dream and its joy and death ultimately approaches and engulfs everybody, Even I am squandering my precious life under same delusion.
I had heard in satsang that every acquired thing shall be left behind but my lust for territorial expansion made me wander. All efforts of expansion are shortening my life span. This beautiful charming lovely bull has fallen victim to ageing. Damn the wretched person like me who are bent upon expansion of state, material object an power. Fir unto my desires. Kudos to the Great Men who have attained perfection by becoming one with the all pervading supreme Being who is most expansive. We are paying our way to wander in the lower like forms while trying to multiply things just as king Aja, King Nriga who took lower births because of entertaining such desire I also acted foolishly an took to the path of assuming lower births.
No Now or never The external expansionism leads us towards destruction while the expansion of the chital vritti in the self is established which gives reposes in the all pervading Braham. When will the day come when I shall get reposed in the self stabile all encompassing Brahman.
Alas I should know and attain the know of eh mortal body an impermanent samaras i.e. Atam (self) which riseders in the heart of every human being as I the eternal God Naryam. It is too Late Old age is embarking upon this body also I should attain the state of supreme self before helplessness and dependency of old age and finally death draws near.
The sensible king of Maagah took to the path of Great Men i.e. Realization of the immortal self before death. He entrusted his empire to some noble persons and himself got engaged diligently in attaining the Truth consciousness and Bliss perosonifed self in a solitary juggle, according to instruction when seeing an old bull the king recalled old age and death an he committed himself to the attainment of self which is free from death and disease. The selfless emperor being devoted to God attained self realization while living like Janak.
Upon having attained the Brahmin sate, Nothing at all does rain to be done; Delusion can then no more deceive; With no trace of desire of desire in the heart.
Transcending the nothing born of delusion I am the body and I shall get joy from the worldly things I want more..
Blessed with the grace of the perfected Guru, And having go the knowledge of the perfected Guru. The king was wakened into his own Being and reveled in his own self.
Can you also not imagine you old age on seeing an old bull or an old man Even you can get enlightened just like the king of Magadh if you desire. You can definitely get really want to awaken yourself and engross yourself in That you love your self Take courage world your impermanent nature o Man Your passion and blind race. For how long after all solutions to the supreme self to the gives of discriminative séance and dispassion solutions to the giver of own self. Set out like the king of Magadh. Attain to your supreme Being.
Sankara Communed with his own self and fell into an unbroken and indefinitely long Samadhi (trace).
Similarly you also commune with your own self. Be engaged in attaining the Knowledge to the self where their is no attachment aversion, no fear no grief no ago and no ignorance. That being is not at a distance there is no time required to reach That that is not difficult to attain.

Satsang News

The number of devotes that had gathered this time for revered pujyashree’s pious darshan was fir larger than that of the previous times. The ache & distress on account of the torture affected on the inmates of the Ashram could easily be perceived on every countenance. When such was the plight of the devotees then who can fathom the unfathomable agony & anguish of revered Sadguru who sustains the compassionate heart of thousands of mothers! Perhaps His deep seated commiseration was poonam darshan programme, solemnized in an incredible solitude & composure,

We make endeavor to earn and purchase our required to seek its meritorious affects in the paradise. During the performance of yajna We endure the heart of sacred fire only to reap the circuitous efforts afterwards. But the marvelous effects of satsang are perceived immediately & instantly to garnt perfection in the long Run. We reap the harvest of satsang instantaneously. Our endeavor to sit in the supreme tranquility & blissfully listening to the satsang with rapt attention for an hour is no less an achievement in self . Above all this blissful hour was expended in an excellent manner which was free form any gossip worry ache or anguish.
Wrapping up all other activities after this satsang Programme pujyashree’s enjoyed the blissfulness of supreme solitude for some time,. Millions devotes availed the magnificence of His supreme Blissfulness of solitude either thought the internet satsang or through telephonic discourses. This ambrosial stream of satsang that was laden with the amazing heights of supreme realty with the lusciousness of devoting and the technique of transforming the course of action into Karma yoga” imbued the aspirants with various celestial hue & colors.
Pujyashree’s said While carry outing the thoughts of supermen accomplishment if you follow the path of righteousness through austerity & ethical self restriction you will attain the realm of suspicions not only for you individual self but also for those who come in contact with you. Out history substantiates this fact by citing several names like Shabri Ravisasji and Meera etc, who becomes exemplary for not only arriving at the supreme accomplishment of their reverential names verses & discourse. Innumerable kudos to the names who tread the righteous path even at the cost of enduring great peace & austerity!””
From 25th December to 27th December. A Dhyanyaogna Sadhan Shivir (a mediation camp) was organized at Surat. For the past several days the opponents & antagonists who has been indulging in denigration & ill accusation of pujya Bapuji had virtually left no tome unturned in the depraved promulgation. To their frustration their malevolence could neither oscillate the enduring faith nor reateard the zeal of the devotes. The mediations camp of Surat Stands a testimony to this fact. The mere presence of millions of ardent devotees in the camp seemed to be an adequate acknowledgment that acted as a huge blow to the iniquity of these immoral promulgators.
A firm belief in the Supreme Contrition can only render a society Vigorous& culture one. Vehemently reithyerating this fact, pujya Bapuji said, The social attunement secured though the supreme paradigm is always the bees on which in tune leads to the supreme attainment. In contrary to this those who keep away from the supreme constitution an evade the righteous path ultimately steer clear of the celestial path. Such hapless being not only shun the divine direction but also becomes defecting of peace in the society. Therefore such unfortunate begins keep hankering after the temporal pleasures of life through various addictions. Ultimately in their pursuit to gain pleasure, thy find them selves addicted to wine paan maslas etc. Their addictions give birth to ill habits and finally the impressions thus formed pave way for their lower births.
29th December Moletha Ashram (Guj) Devotees from Moletha Sardar server Bharuch and around availed the unexpected ambrosial satsang & darshan of pujyashree’s. During a dialogue with the devotes an interesting fact came to light that on account l fo the evil campaign by the antagonist people from all walks of life, whether an intellectual ingenuous labor class or any other class parasitically everyone heart is deeply enthused by the fallings of sum path, deference and amity. The conspirators or contenders may blow their own trumps but in the eyes of the public they becomes despicable & commiseration amongst general public is uneatable. 30th December & 31st December, Ahmedabad Ashram:: The devotes were blessed with Satsang & Poonma darshan. Elucidating the philosophical enigma of life, Pujya Bapuji said Visible an perceptible pain or pleasure is nothing else but elusive& deceptive. He fathered His revelation & said He who wants to gain pleasure by tormenting others verily hand one who relives the pain of other fellow beings attains the blissfulness of the supreme Lord not no only in paradise but on this earth also.
On 31st Dec & 1st Jan 10 Faridabad (Haryana):: The Dussehra ground was turned unto an infinite stretch of human oven by the countless decodes & Poonant vratdharis. While unraveling the blunder at the very foundation of running la rat’s race of the sake o comforts & pleasure of life, Pujya Bapuji said in spite of immense wealth means till or endeavor on life there is need to decipher the objects purpose direction or location of the entire human effort. Everyone want to secure pleasure and avoid pain in life. But the worthless objects off gaining pleasure though wealth spouse or other like and dislike does not let it happen. Let the endeavor be made on a judicious & realistic objective. Thereafter the bills will never evade and pain will never perpetuate itself. This time during Bapuji’ bliss of solitude the residents of Faridabad town immensely benefited form pujyashree pious vicinity & satsang. During His three day stay in the town the devotes thronged in a series of succession. Elucidating the maxim, A lone example is better then a hundred precepts in His exemplar style pujya Bapuji said in hid Many officials try to establish intimacy with leaders in command for their vested interest But the establishment of supreme intimacy with the Lord bestows the being not only with celestial blissfulness and angelic characteristics but also cause the Nature to act in harmony. Even after endearing innumerable leaders buteasruects and relatives people remain devoid of fulfillment their time & energy inactivating those who were nothing else but an epitome of imperfection. It is advisable to enchant Him who is the embodiment of perfecting. Take a dive in the supreme exvallence Captivate Him and you ill find the entire world railing behind you. A lone example is better then a hundred precepts enthrall the Indweller of your mind. Ascertain the sole aim of your life, the Supreme contemplation the supreme devotion the supreme knowledge & the supreme attainment. There after you find the entire scope span of nature gods dogs celestial musicians mythical beings air water, fire the directions etc. everything becoming endogenous harmonious & melodious to you because everything is the creation of the Lord only. Hence the God realization His supreme devotion and bliss will synchronize every earthly or eternal accomplishment.

Health & Nature

Vice an Depravity Cause Diseases
Our physical and mental healths are greatly influenced by vices like untruth, anger, jealousy hypocrisy violence, duplicity, slander etc.
Telling a lie reduces life energy and viougur. The heart is increased while speaking the lie and brain is overstressed. This weakens the heart and neurons. The one who speaks lies has greater predisposition to heart diseases, stoke leading to hemiplegia and insanity.
The brain spends much ojas shakti during fits of anger. The brain in anger requires much blood supply. Increased blood flow to the brain makes the eyes and face red. As the high voltage power supply blows out the bulb same way anger destroys the neurons of the brain. An angry person is more predisposed to cardiac disorders and brain diseases. Jealousy aggrlovates the pitta which results in the burring of body and mind.
Hypocrisy aggravates kapha, which results in heaviness of body dullness of intellect and retarding of the activity of senses. Violence aggravates the (the three doshas, vata pitta and kapha).
Slandering causes increased releases of neuropathies which causes hypercholesterolemia the main cause of high blood pressure an heart attack. Duplicity harms the body like a slow poison. Same way vice like conceit envy greed etc. are destroys of the longevity strength. And vigor. Just as the sugarcane becomes worthless after its juice is extracted same way life with out virtues good conduct and noble thoughts becomes sorrowful, miserable and diseased.
The secret Of Health
What is the remedy to eradicate diseases? Answering this question of Agnivesha sage Atri told his disciple.
When one transcends body and mind then due to nonexistence of body and mind, which are the locus of sufferings the diseases also becomes nonexistent.
The in balance of the destiny (the past actions) and the self effort (the present actions) give rise to diseases and equilibrium between these two lead to eradication of diseases.
One who takes wholesome foods and leads healthful life style acts thoughtfully, does not get attached to the objects of sense pleasure: words touch etc.. is charitable, maintains equanimity in happiness and misery, is intent on speaking the truth is patient and keeps faith in the works of the elderly and acts accordingly he remains free form disease.
One who has intellect which gives happiness, who does actions which are conducive to happiness who speaks pleasing words possesses a self refrained mind, sinless intellect and those who are inter on doing penance the attainment of knowledge and gaining perfection in the yoga (union with metal or physical) disease And even if they contract any disease due to inevitable destiny then also they remain unaffected by it. Therefore one desirous of happy and health life should pracits righteousness’ in his life.

Yellow Journalism Cannot Last Long

Whether it is ‘Sandesh’ or any other Newspaper
There is word yellow journalism (unprincipled, corrupt, Sensational Journalism). This kind of journalism cannot survive for a long time. It certainly has to get exposed be it Sandesh or any other newspaper.
I want to ask all these newspapers that if they wish to do good to the country then to what extent have they exposed the conspiracies (crimes) being perpetrated against the country like business of addictive drugs in Kutch district of Gujarat, printing counterfeit currency. Jehakdi (war fought by Muslims against unbelievers) terrorism plots of the Christian missionaries?
Vomiting poison against a saint who is revered across the world is this their priority Bapuji is such a saint who is followed by lakhs of people wherever he goes. This can be one of the reason of harboring envy against him and an international conspiracy is clearly backing it to finish off the Hindu society in furtherance of which they malign the ones who are the very bases of the Hindu society. Saint are the soul and life of the Hindu society. They are aware that It will be easy to destroy the Hindu society by offending the saints. You might have noticed that the ones who have been noticed that the ones who have been anti Hindus in the past whether foreign invaders or a part of our politics, on order to attack Hindus their very first targets has been Hindu temples and Hindu saints. I think that to day they also work with a similar stratagem and intention inconformity to an international conspiracy, in order to wipe out the faith of the Hindu society towards Hindu society towards Hindu saints. Once this is accomplished it will be easy to destroy the Hindu society later.
Two types of movements are initiated in the society. Some of them are stared by the intellectuals and the society follows them India is an example wherein the movement is launched by the society and is joined by the intellectuals later. When the society of the entry country will seem to stand by pujya Asaram ji, the this class of intellectuals which is keeping silence now or is seen fabricating varied arguments against Bapuji, I can assure you by citing illustrations form history that they all will be seen trying to please Pujya Asaramji Bapu and offering obeisance at His feet. The times is not far off. These all are baseless people. Without caring for them we should try to unite the society and when we shall start a movement amidst the society the these people will also support our movement.
Out Modi rule Bapu never said like this rather the media persons by inserting fabricated words are blowing the issue out of proportion showing merely Bapu face on heir channels. The false utterances by the anchors and reporters do not carry weight. When I was the Chief Minster of M.P I put up at Bapu’s ashram and during my entire service period, I never came across any complaint of illegal activities regarding the ashram through the administration or C.I.D. I consider Bapu as my father. The allegations on Bapu are baseless and I take allegations on Bapu are baseless and I take upon myself it guaranteed. No mysterious activities are carried out in Bapu’s organization. Everything is done openly. Bhajans devotions songs, sat snags prayer and mediation; these are the activities carried out over here. They have clear activates focused on helping people get rid of their evil habits, in serving cows, etc. So we should in fact stand by such saints like Asaramji Bapu in their undertakings concerned with the interest of the society.

Modi’s Vinasha Kale Vipareet Buddhi’

Can one think incident in India where a Masjid or a Church has been raided, for stocking illegal arms and weapons or for giving asylum to antinational and criminals? I have not come across any.In a Church in kerala the Divine Retreat Centre, Thiruvananthapuram police claim that a total of 974 mysterious deaths, most of them young girls took, place ; between 1991 and 2006, But the police dreads to enter into the Church complex. In Marad (kerala) in may 2003 eight innocent Hindu fishermen were brutally murdered by a Muslim mob coming out of a Masjid after their Friday prayers. Even the police did not enter into the Masjid. On the contrary, Ahmed form Muslim League the present Minister of state for Railways prevented the police from entering and searching the Masjid Murders and molestation of girls and mums are very common in orphanages run by Christian organizations. But seldom they get repotted in the press, not do the police dare to act against them, because of their good relations with media persons and the police.But when it comes to Hindu organizations the police does not even think twice before raiding the premises and harassing the inmates even on flimsy grounds. They never care about the reputation of such an institution or Hindu sentiments. They do so either to settle their personal score with the head to the intuition or to prove their secular credentials to the world.
Jayalaltiha did similar atrocious act in 2004 when she readied the Mutt of Kanchi Shankaracharya and arrested swami Jayendra Saraswati ji and his junior Swami Vijayendra saraswati, on an alleged murder case. The result is for all to see. She got a drubbing at the elections in 2008 and lost her Chief Minster ship.
Harassing and making fun of Hindu sadhu and sants has becomes a pastimes for many politicians especially of congress. Communist DMK etc, Today this swine flu has even affected Hindustan mascot whose government has raided the sabarmati Ashram of sant asaram Bapu on 27th November 2009 an started mercilessly beating up the inmates. Sant Asaram Bapu himself has been implicated in an attempted murder case with tow others. (please refer to pages 5,6 7 & 8 of Hindu Voice January 2010 Issue of more details on this topic and to get a broader picture)
Jayalaltiha never thought as to why a 72 year old Shankaracharya heading a 25000 year old hoary institution should ever think of murdering any one. Similarly Narendra Modi the so called efficient CEO of Gujarat never thought as to why a sant having crores of followers all over the world should think of such a heinous crime. It seems in both the case power and arrogance have blinded them to do such undemocratic and unethical acts. WE (incluign myself) have all along been holding Narendra Modi in high esteem. I have many times described him as the modern Sardar Patel Ministerial stuff. But he has betrayed Hindu and is now trying to be secular by harassing a revered Hindu sant.
If we look back we can realize that Narendra Modi was never a Hindustan leader. In fact we were living in illusion as we were living in illusion as were in the case of Mr. L.K Advani. When advain took Ramianmabhoomi Rath Yatra his motive was to take advantage of the Hindu resurgence and gain power. Similarly Modi too is following his mentor and is taking the Hindu for a ride.
We did have some inkling of what is in store for Hindus something back. My editorial in the February 2008 issue of Hindu Voice read will BJP Take the Hindu for a ride again? It conveyed the opposition of Hindus in Chennai to Mr. Modi visiting Jayalaltiha. He never bothers to visit the beleaguered Kanchi Mutt. But preferred to be with Assure Jayalaltiha and enjoy her multi dishes feast with the TN assembly elections in mind. So even for BJP and Narendra Modi winning election is more important then the protection of a Hindu institution.
Mr. Modi again proved his secular credentials, when he ordered breaking hundreds of temples in Ahmedabad and Gandhinagear in the name or road widening. Ultimately shri Ashok Singhalji had to interfere and prevail upon him.
And now comes the attack on the Sabarmati Ashram of Sant Asaram Bapu on flimsy grounds. It seems that Modi has decided to demolish the Ashram come what may. The reason may be sant Asaram Bapu has closely associated himself with VHP. As is well known, Dr. Praveenbhai Topgadiya is a sworn enemy of Modi. And he Modi wants to eliminate VHP form Gujarat. He refused entertain even Ashok Singhalji for talks on his actions against Sant Asaram Bapu. Such a person can never be considered as a Hindutra leader.
Mulims and Christians targeting Hindus is not a matter of surprise. Their religions ordain them to do so, and we are prepared for it. But a Hindu CM having come to power on Hindu votes trying to demolish a Hindu institution is a betrayal of trust an is filled with dangerous portents. It is Vinasha Kale Vipareet Buddhi’ while Modi is sure to meet the fate Jayalaltiha all Hindu sadhu and sants should come together to protect themselves and sangatan Hindu Dharma from such fake Hindutra leaders.
Modi can regain the confidence of Hindu even at this hers if he makes amends. For this he should immediately apologize to Sant Asaram Bapu embrace VHP an suspend the concerned police officer for resorting to rowdyism in the ashram Otherwise he will be digging his own grave and this times Hindus too will join Muslims and Christens in burying his govt.

The secret of Success

He who spoils, his relationship with the indweller Antaryamin Supreme Self the prime cause, receives afflictions from the people of the world and those who don’t spoil their relationship wither indweller lord their relations are not strained. The Antaryamin dwells in each and very being. So do not wish or think ill of others. Never so do not anybody whether he has supported you or has abused you because in him also dwells the Antaryamin supreme self. When we nurture ill thoughts for others, we spoil our relationship with The Indweller. When we do something wrong the Indweller lord prevents us form doing that. But we do it impulsively and passionately by being taken in by worn decisions of the intellect and suppressing the inner voice. Then certainly we stumble on out wrong path.
Our mind says something intellect tells something else and the society leads us to still anther path. But the heart tells a different thing. The we should always follow that heart because our heart is nearer to the supreme self then others.
Do not contemplate much about the worldly friends of foes. Do not get perplexed in the worldly triumphs or defeats. Open your eyes and look around. The center of all friends and foes deflates and victories is the substratum of all the self your own being. Then, why are you howling and crying? Why are you tormenting yourself? You have overburdened your head and exhausted yourself with the unnecessary weight of all these woes and worries. Throw away all those bundles of fancies He is like this or He is like that He will Kill He will create problem, I will be disgraced… etc. O, Poor being! If thousands of bombs fall together even then they cannot do any harm to you. You are such an immortal eternal soul, Tou That.
Weapons cannot cut it not can fire burn it water cannot drench it not can wind make it dry.
Thou art such a Being Come into your center. Get established in your Self God. All other wise, your state in this affection ridden world will be like a man who is droning in the sea aspiring to be saved with the support of a blade of grass. If anyone wants to become immortal happy or well established by holding small worldly things like blades of grass he is behaving as foolishly as he who wants to cross an ocean with the hip of a blade of grass. He who wants to attain happiness and remove sorrows through external things is certainly committing the same mistake. If you want to cross the ocean of smear, remove all sorrows and get real happiness seek refuge in him who takes away all sorrows the Lord Hari love heartily Supreme Bliss. The treasure of joy will get unlocked. Nobody till the date has ever been able to succeed in crossing the ocean with the support of a blade of grass. Nobody had ever been successful in attaining happiness and felicity by possessing petty worldly things.

Nectar of Gita

From Form to the Formless
For those who have emotional disposition but have not attained the higher state of reason to get established in Supreme Brahman, These two verses of the twelfth canto of Srimad Bhagaved Gait are immensely useful. The lord says. Fix your mind on Me only your intellect in Me, you shall no doubt live in alone hereafter.’
If You are unable to fix your mind steadily upon Me then by the YOGA of constant practice seek to reach Me Dhanajaya.
In the first eleven cantons the Lord enlightened Arjuna about the Knowledge of Ultimate Truth the Sankhya (one of the six systems of Hindu philosophy; Sankhya postulates two
Ultimate realites, Pursha and priority) philosophy and the karma yoga and revealed His cosmic form. The eight an ninth verse of the twelfth canto reflect the Lord realization that the problem Arjuna was facing is faced by the entire humanity. Therefore the Lord says in these two verse. Arjuna If you can not behold me everywhere if you can not mediate on my formless Being if you can not directly experience, Me the undivided pure consciousness: then take to take to the path of Attaining Me by mediating on my flute playing form; Through loving and meditating on my manifested form you can attain Me. That is if you cannot digest pure ghee, you can prepare Laddus with it or put it in other preparations.
These two verses seem to be meant for people who are dominated by emotions for those whose feelings are at variance with their thoughts. The hearts of such people say one thing and thing an their brains sing a completely different tune. A sentimental person when he goes to the temple. Is very happy at heart but his intellect raises doubts what is the nature of God Shall I be able to realized god. Which God is bigger? Am I on right path The heart is satisfied going a particular way but the intellect revolts and pulls in a different direction. Contrarily there are people who have heard and are dispensing that knowledge to others also but their hart is not satisfied. This happened in the life of Chaitany Mahaprabahu He was such a great scholar of philosophy that he would get the better of the most erudite men of his time. He mastered the knowledge of Ultimate Truth intellectually but had no peace or happiness in the hart. Then he entered the realm of the Self through kitten traversed the path of beholding the Lord in all beings.
Once an itinerant saint came wandering about and sat under a tree. It so happened that he lived under that tree for as long as twelve years. He would never leave the area shaded by the tree expect of defecation. He would live on whatever alms people brought to Him. His real name was forgotten and he came to be known as Drakhitya Baba , The baba living under a tree.
Once Akhandanandji went to Drakhitya Baba and said Guru Maharaj you have been here for twelve years. Once gets peace looking at you. How was it that your chose this place of you residence?
Drakhitya Baba said I am saved from devotees calling me to their villages off and on UI spared form plurality of forms names and travels and an established in non dual self.
Baba was really reposed in True self. He had know what is knowable the consciousness Absolute; He had attained self realization. Akhandanandji said Guru Maharaj I don’t seek fame. Wealth or learning. Pleases bless me that my mind and intellect get fixed in God.
Drakhitya Baba found a worthy prospect in Akhandanandji and said see I give you one full day. Come to me at the same time tomorrow and tell me the places other then god where your mind and intellect stay. Find out a place dived of God. I will carry off you intellect stay. Find out a pace devoid of God. I will carry off your mind form there and place it in God. What a thought But one should have this knowledge and then he need out be advised upon these verse. Once should assimilate the truth that God is everywhere. Wherever you see it is the Lord everywhere. Whatever you think about is God.
But not every man is blessed with such understating.
Arjuna was as greatly righteous valiant and resolute as the man can every dream to be . Such
Arjuna is being told by a teacher like lord Krishna, Arjuna if you can not behold me in /my all pervasive formless being adopt the alternative of live and devotion towards My incarnation in human form an through such love and devotion you can attain to Me the formless, impersonal Being. In the tenth canto of the Gita The lord says. Among the tree I am the hold pipal tree. Why on one hand you say that I am omnipresent:
I am the self O Gudankesha seated in the hearts of all beings.
The lord dwells in the hearts of all beings. O Arjuna:
Then you say, Among the tree I am the hold papal tree among Siddhas I am the sage kapil among words, I am the sacred syllable.
If you are where have other words and sounds emanated form? If you are pipal where have other tree come from.
If you cannot fathom the Absolute in it totality see him in his remarkable manifestations it is easier for you to devote your mind to differentiated manifestations for you too are a differentiated manifestation for you too are a manifestation of His. Therefore the Lord says among the trees I am holy pipal tree: among Siddhas I ma the sage Kapil. It seems to be an inescapable conclusion; the Lord must have been faced with the problem of aspirants having different qualification to apprehend the truth. The Lord says in the Gita that at the dawn of creation, He had given this knowledge of Ultimate Truth to surya the sun god surya passed it on to his son Manu but with the passage of time the knowledge had become extinct. So exalted and esoteric is this knowledge.
Vedanta is esoteric but there is no others way. Vedanta is difficult to comprehend and assimilate because the mind had become externalized and the intellect is preoccupied with finite things. But the Lord is giving the remedy if you cannot grasp My all pervasive formless Being. Devoted your mind ad intellect towards My incarnation in human form.
You go the temple. This is very primacy stage. If you fix your mind and set your heart in the marble idol of the lord your intellect will revolt and if your try to prove the Atman n by logical argumentation the heart will not accept. Therefore your need to resort ot the Yoga of constant practice. The Yoga of practice purifies the heart and the will not accept. Therefore you need to resort to the Yoga of practice purifies the heart and the intellect becomes subtle. If the heart is purified and the intellect becomes subtle. A little vicinity of a self realized saint will make the intellect shutter and by constant practice the intellect becomes subtlest which results in self realization. Reaching that state of blessedness of Atman (the Self ) established in which lord Narayan finds repose lord Shiva is engrossed in trance is real heroism.
Now science of chemistry has discovered the effect of a catalytic agent, Which actually does not take part in the chemical reaction but accelerates it. If you decompose the water you find tow elements oxygen and hydrogen But you cannot form water simply by mixing these tow elements. When is water formed? It is only when the lightning flashes that oxygen and hydrogen are combining into water. So electricity is essential to formation of water: the electricity is a catalytic agent. Similarly both the pure Consciousness’ and the individual consciousness are present like oxygen and hydrogen but their synthesis does not take place. Self realization does not take place to cause the rain of the water of the bliss of Brahman. It is only when the presence of a Brahmavetta acts as a captivity agent that one realize God and gets Brambles by the Combination of pure consciousness and chidabhasa, the reflected consciousness.

Conscience Kindlers

Remove Titles and Become Infinite
If a wave tries to find water it will be very difficult. But if it subsides and then it tires to find water, it will realize that first it is water and then a wave. If an ornament goes is seek gold it will learn that it is first gold and then an ornament. An earthen pot on trying to seek finds it is itself first clay and then an earthen pot. Similarly first we are soul and then individuals then we are Gujarati, Sindhi Marathi; or Town Head member of parliament, Ph D.D. Lit. etc.
Particulars of casters positions or status etc. make us limited. You belong to the wider human kind but by focusing on being an Indian, your identity gets reduced to a fraction . By considering yourself belongion to Uttar Pradesh in India, you further confine your ambit. Yet again by believing yourself as belonging to Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh, you delimit yourself ever or. In Lucknow also you consider yourself to have such and such a degree thus separation yourself form the rest to the people.
Nation is a large territory. Referring to the state of Maharashtra Mumbai Nagpur etc.
Your perspective gets narrowed. Regarding oneself as belonging to Uttarachal makes him get cut off from India making his outlook even smaller. Now if you talk of Haridwar within Uttarachal it gets still smaller. From Haridwar you separate yourself to ‘Har Ki Pauri’ to further make it narrower In Har Pauri on the sight side of Brahmkund my seat is on the let of Juggu Temple priest an my name is so and so Temple priest, M.A B.Ed. Get rituals performed by me.
Now the Temple priest thinks he holds a big title but by narrowing it down he has definitely becomes confined to smallness.
As your titles keep increasing in that proportion your keep getting circumscribed and pettier. By forgetting your all pervading nature you became entangled in the web of my and mine and bound in the trap of birth and death.
It is fine if you maintain titles in practice but intermittently shun all titles and recall your relationship with that all pervading supreme self. When you go out you dress up wear tie, shows etc, but when you came home and remove all this then it fells so relaxing. Similarlay all the phantoms of I belong to go and so status, I am this I am that that your mind is possessed with remove all these and like an innocent child sit down an reflect on without ceremonial wedding I am yours.
If you have God idol it is okay even if you don’t that will also do. If you can light a lamp it fine if not do not bother. If you have a picture of or Swastika then it is okay. Else you can gaze at the pervading sky. Appropriating the purpose of the mantra recitation lovingly pronounce Omkar in an elongated way. Taking God name is not counted for an action but as a call.
Practice this technique of ten minutes daily for forty days. You will finds a tremendous change and benefit. You get so much help in merging with the all permeating one. Bound in false names, forms, positions and posts and heading towards pettiness man thus finds so much ease in reaching his fundamental all pervading nature Let me see does it make a difference or not don’t have doubts like this . You will surely benefit… the more lovingly you do this and the more faith you have the more you will benefit.
It is faith which gives fruit. By gossiping watching films the happiness you get is artificial sensual. It will ensnare you in ht world. The happiness you get form God love By calling out to God that is real joy blissful joy. With true joy. With true joy your intellect sharpens your wisdom increases; God beauty, love and power get manifested within you.
Just start calling out to God lovingly, in the morning and evening. If you afford to do this two three times during the day that is even better. Then you will realize than your time which was getting wasted due to false arrogance associated with false titles that same time is now being saved and utilized in merging with Truth personified supreme Being in becoming pervasive, in making you rich the true joy of the soul Then gradually the habit of getting immersed in the real happiness will increase and by merging with All pervading Brahman, you will attain liberation while living.
“One who in anticipation of a good future allows an available opportunity to slip away finds it very difficult to get the opportunely again even if he be willing to avail of it.
(Mahabharata Shanti parva;)
Forgiveness is the strength of the weak: it is the ornament of the strong, Forgiveness is enchanting what great thing is there in the world that cannot be accomplished with forgiveness?”

Sadhana Focus

The Panacea: Devotion to Guru
In our lives there are two kinds of ailments external and internal. External diseases are cured by doctors and they don’t cause as much misery as internal ailments. Our internal ailments are desire, anger, greed attachment pride envy and egoism.
In the Bhagawat Purana a remedy is prescribed for the eradication of each of these (internal) ailments. For desire lack of resole for anger desirelessness, for greed thinking about demerits of wealth, for fear the knowledge of the Truth are remedies.
That which burns doshas and emances gunas positive qualities is called a medicine After prescribing remedies for different ailments the devotion to Guru, for all ailments was prescribed.
If you have devotion towards your Guru then he will tell you. Dear boy you are treading the wrong path. Don’t go an this path. Don’t look at the person much, don’t talk to him for too long, don’t sit near him for too long, don’t stick to him, keep good company thoughts relationships an eating habits etc.
When you will be devoted to the lotus feet of the Guru then you will not feel love towards these internal vices. You need honesty in devotion not dishonesty. Dishonesty is the root of all evils and sorrow. An easy way to gain victory over evils and miseries is to render service to one’s Guru with honesty truthfulness, faith and for the welfare of others. I faith is not implicit an if you start indulging in sense pleasures or you get ensnared in fame ego worship and prestige, Guru will forbid you then you will say. Guruji is jealous of me he can’t bear my progress, he can’t tolerate other people loving me. Guruji mind harbors jealousy so he does mot wants me to progress.”
God has actually come in the form of your guru for your welfare and by kindling the lamp of wisdom He is illuminating the path not only that, He is giving it to you in your hands. Look clearly in its light, and walk ahead. But some mistake Him for an ordinary human being: in some one’s mind such perverted thought arise that his entire purity is defiled like an elephant’s bath. Considers an elephant that bathes in lakes and emerges outside the water only to lift sand with his trunk and sprinkles it on himself. Making his condition similar to what it was initially. Similarly those who understand Guruji to be an ordinary human being also reach to their initial state. God makes creation including both the good and the bad, happiness and sorrow, the animate as well as inanimate death and immortality. But great saints do not create death they only create immortally.
They do not create insentience they create only consciousness. They do not make sorrow, they create only happiness. Thus saints refers to those who make beautiful creation who teach spiritual disciplines to the people in order to make then enlightened and the ones who make us one with God. People say that God showers grace on His devotes. He might be doing that. But if there are no great saints. If there is there is no Sadguru the there will be no devotee and if there is no devotee, then who will god is an established entity and true saints, Sadguru are perceptional entitles. God is either nonperceptioal an the as the cause of creation, the creator or He is immediate as the self. If he is non perceptional then you have to believe in Him and if he is immediate to be liven in Him and if he is immediate the he is without attributes action less peaceful.
If there is any perceptional entity of Supreme self it is in the form of great saints, great souls the Mahatmas the sadgurus.
It is only great souls who give you wisdom. Those who want to aim to at a target by just throwing stone in the sky their case is different. But the truth is this that without great saints, neither can you came to know of the nature of God nor about the path to him. Whether we can tread the path towards god or not cannot be known without the guidance of a great soul. That is why the mahatma is said to possess more qualities then God according to the first skandha of Bhagawat Purana. In the eleventh skandha, God has gone to the extent of saying.
The worship of a Mahatma is great then my worship.’

Fragrance of Satsanga

God the Supreme Servant!
It is impossible to find a servant like God even if one were to search in the whole of Creation. God is undoubtedly our lord and master but he is also an unparalleled our Lord and master but he is also an unparalleled servant. How devotedly He serves us Mother gives birth to our body but there can be no attendant like the mother to take care of us. Similarly we can’t find a servant or attendant like God. In spite of being so full of immense potencies, the Lord serves us in ways that are beyond imagination.
The lord is ready to be your servant your friend your mother or your father at your choice. O Lord you are great There is none like You God omnipresence God’s feasibility benevolence God’s affection, protection and His unsurpassed love. He is beyond my capability to describe the perfections of God! Even if there are one thousand orators of the like of Ashram each having a thousand tongues, They can not fully describe the Lord divine sport lord’s service to us and the Lord benevolence.
My devotion was at the initial stage when I renounced everything and challenged him I renounced everything and challenged Him saying.
Thought He of not going anywhere:
And having His meal sitting there:
Whoever has concern will Himself bring:
The Creator Himself will bring me food, Such things are said to a servant not to a master. Once as I recollected this incident during the days of my sadhana I gave myself a mild reproof. I thought I renounced everything and challenged the creator of the Universe He somehow arranged food for me. It is His nobility; it is His kindliness. If nobody had brought food for two three days and instead I had can vested by scoundrels or snakes at the command of God what could an then laughed heartily that how benevolent the Lord is How much he cares if a child tells his mothers I will not eat whoever is concerned will feed me will the mother beat him up or keep him hungry?
Nay she will feed the child even if she has to cajole him for the purpose. So there can be no attendant like the mother. Same is the case with god. The Lord is our protector and nourished; and He is omnipotent. He can do everything. He is the most benevolent friend of all beings. It is said about him the disinterested friends of all beings, if you know an heartily convince yourself of this fact you will be at peace. Whatever the lord does is for lour good. He makes us encounter enemies to rid us of egotism and carelessness. He makes us meet friends and good people to fill our hearts with love an nobility. He undulates in all kinds of divine sport and imparts us the knowledge of Brahman thorough the Sad guru and thereby make us jivanmukta (one who is liberated while living). One who started his like as a drop of semen in made Brahman. Isn’t this His mercifulness or is this someone trick. This body started its journey as a drop of semen then He made available to us good leering staging its journey as a drop of semen the he made available tours good learning Satsanga and golden opportunities and somehow brought us to the state where we can bully Him. How greater is the Lord that He respecter even out bullying. What a compassion How greatly mercury.
The Lord is a servant He is a friends too::

Sri Yogavasishtha Maharamayana

Know the Self Established Truth Vasishthaji says in Sri Yoga Vasishtha Maharamayana Rama, One with Wisdom and diligence should reflect upon the purport of scriptures; Should keep company with saints and emulate then in conduct; and should strive to acknowledge a vision to True knowledge which destroys all sorrows.’
Queen Madalsa, queen Chudala, Sulabha the chaste Ansuya, Gargi King janka the sage Shukadeva, Kabirji possessed on outlook of the supreme knowledge. If we also get such outlook we can be delivered forthwith.
In truth, we are Atman but have given to ourselves respective names. We believe we are so and so with such and such qualification. These are only impressions on our psyche I am M.B.B.S. a doctor. The fact of being a doctor has to be proved by certificates degrees etc. but we don’t need to prove we are Atman. The doctor existed even before he becomes a doctor… he shall exist even when he grows old and leaves medical practices and also even after the death of the body. We are self established doctor is not such. The doctor has to authenticate the fact of his being a doctor with an M.B.B.S degree. A lawyer also requires an LL.B degree. A Mahant should possess an Ashram a little etc. But no certifications are required to prove the existence of “I”(the Real Self). In order to becomes a high profile minister, one requires a superior seat and that position does not last forever while one’s self is never wiper out. The self established truth does not want to prove itself as something. It is without doubt the supreme preceptor of the universe.
A saint was smiling while some people were hurling invectives at him on their way to a mosque. Another saint said, Sir They are calling you names an your are smiling! The former said They are abusing the body consisting of flesh and bones. I too cuss it Do We respect sputum’s, rune stool? They are going to the mosque to offers proves to Me to worship Me and to bow before Me saying Allah is great I am pleased that they are My sons and are going to the mosque for the sake of worshipping Me.
Sri they are Muslims and out of ill will are taking nonsense against you being Hindu saint. They are reveling you and are casting aspersions on you. They are affected by the vice of malice.
The vice of malice is not in then it is in their minds in their acquired traits.
Another group of people bowed before the saint on their way to a temple.
Sir They are paying obeisance to you.
The saint remained unaffected. He said, These people worship eulogisng Me as Rama… Obeisance’s to Lord Shiva and they worship me Saying Allah is great This is my wonderful sport.
Sri your live on alms and have the cheek to say this is my wonderful sport, Isn’t it self deception.
Oh, No I have never begged floor alms The prana does so. Is needs food which it receives thought the body. So what if the Prana begs for food? It begs form those with Prana. This is the sport of Maya. I am the substratum of Maya. I am the pure consciousness that sustains everything. I have never asked for anything. I am the self effulgent Brahman. I am indestructible I am beyond time. Time is changing. I am the one that knows this chose. The one who saw 7:300 AM, is seeing 7.35 AM and conjectures 7.40AM. 7.35 Am is gone 7.40 AM, 8.00 AM are to follow an they too will be past But I the seer am never past I am a witness to 7.00, 7.40 8.40, as also to days, weeks years childhood, youth I know the whole of past present and future, I myself am beyond time. Time fleets I am never gone The goes from place to place. The place is changed: I remain the same. Matter changes form not I After death the body will be burnt and will be reduced to urns but not Me I continue to be there even after death. I am the Supreme Brahman the pure Consciousness beyond time, Space and matter. Self knowledge is deserved those who are alive to these facts those who want liberation, those who know that all transient things are worthless and whatever one relishes eating is ultimately converted to faucal matter. Only such people deserve to be instructed in Self Knowledge not the lustful and quarrelsome ones who are uninitiated.
You want to be a collector a principal a rich man so what if you do fulfill you ambition? You just know what you are and then you becomes the Father of all. Knowing thus you will find yourself the master of all circumstances. You don’t have to becomes anything or to prove yourself to be anything rather your should firmly resolve and finally attain the supreme status the self established. Atman which even the father of death cannot seize. The other posts even the father of king cannot preserve. The worldly things cannot to maintained and the supreme Being cannot be forsaken. Just Endeavour to know that supreme Being.

Elixir of Faith

Guard your Faith (Excerpts from pujya Bapuji Satsang)
Once as fire was put to a pottery kiln, it came to be know that there were kittens in one of the pots. God was fervently entreated. When the fire died out the kittens came out unarmed. Parhald was a witness to his incident an his heart was filled with love and devotion to God. Impressions of Satsang were laying dormant prahld’s heart. They were awakened and the incident convinced prahlad that he (the Supreme Being) alone is the essence of life. Prahlad got detached from the world the turned towards devotion. When prahlad got under way onto the path of God, he met with stiff opposition. How could the demon king Hiranyakashipu the arch enemies of do gods tolerate that a demon boy should engage himself in Bhakti of lord Vishnu? Yet Prahlad was undeterred and continued to perform Bhakti. His father scolded him, reproached him subjected him to frightening threats from fierce looking executioners. Caused him to fierce looking executioners caused him to be thrown form mountain tops and into the sea; yet Prahld’s faith was unshaken. Hiranyakashipu made several attempts to kill Parhald.
Prahlad would think, Lord’s Sri Hari saved the kitten from the fire raging all around them. An I not child? He will save me too. Prahlad surrendered himself to the lord. His father caused him to be thrown from mountain tops but he remained unhurt. Hiranyakashipu caused him to be thrown into the sea but he as not drowned. Finally, Hiranyakashipu go an iron pillar ardently heated and said to Prahlad. You say your Lord is omnipresent and omnipotent. If it is so he is there in this iron pillar as well. Embrace it. If he is omnipotent he should be able to manifest here itself.
Prahlad embraced the red hot iron pillar with utmost faith. The Lord appeared there in the form of Lord Nrishimha (half man: half lion). When hedonism becomes preponderant and vile men start increasingly tyrannising good people the omnipotent Lord can appear anywhere and in any form. The Lord appearing in the form of Lord Nrishimha killed Hiranyakashipu and sent him to own abode. The Lord crowned Parhald as the demon king and disappeared. Prahlad got the Lord’s darshan but had not yet realized god in truth. God realization is miles ahead of getting His darshan.
A few years clasped the preceptor of the demons deceived Prahlad, Prahlad Lord Vishnu killed your father without reason. You sought refuge and protection from Him but had you asked the Lord to kill your father. When you had not asked the lord to kill your father. Why should he have done so? If the Lord really loved you. He could have gives wiser sense to your father. Why did he kill Him.
Now Parhald did have faith in Lord Vishnu but if the devotee comes into the company of the ones who shake the faith and fails to exercise caution his faith sometimes gets quivered. A sadhak comes across many people who try to shake his faith. find someone who tries to shake his faith in the Lord in the Guru in Satsang. In sadhana or in guru mantra. Even one’s own mind may play devil at times and shake one’s faith y argumentative reasoning. Therefore, in order to maintain the steadfastness in faith the sadhak should guard against depraved company and follies of the mind.
Shukrachary the demon preceptor succeeded in shaking Prahlad faith.
He says Lord Vishnu killed your father; still you worship him foolish what a blind faith.
If somebody tells a devotee, what a blind faith he will defend his faith and try to prove that his faith is true not blind. But the words of the sceptic do cause a storm in his mind. Words do make an impact on the mind sooner or later. Therefore lord Shiva provider us with the protective shield if someone criticizes the Guru drive him away from that place or if that place or if that is not possible leave the place yourself.
Shukrachary if you so advise I will take revenge on Lord Vishnu.
Prahlad mobilizes force against lord Vishnu and challenges the Lord the come I will teach you’re a lesson.
The lord cannot allow the devotees to be affected with vanity or to slide into degradation. The merciful Lord donned the form of an old Brahmin with frail body hunched back. Clothed in white attire and leaning on a stick the Lord proceeded to Prahlad royal court. As the Lord reached the gate to the royal court, the gatekeeper stopped him saying Brahmin Right now, Prahlad is preparing for battle. Darshan of a sadhu is considered inauspicious at this time.
The Lord said I have heard that prahlad holds sadhu and Brahmins in great reverence and you are preventing me form going to him.
The gatekeeper said prahlad is not the same as he used to be now he ahs become vigilant. Shukrachary has conselled him. Now he ahs got ready to settle old scores with Lord Vishnu. He no longer respects sadhu and Brahmins. Brahmin you should better go ways.
Brother now whatever be the consequence I will not go back without meeting Prahlad. If you don’t allow me to go inside. I will lay down life her itself and you will be guilty of killing a Brahmin.
Convincing the gatekeeper somehow the lord arrived in front of Parhald. After customary salutations the lord in the Brahmin guise said to prahlad, May you be blessed prahlad I am told you want to avenge revenge on Him on my pat as well. He has ruined me too.
The Brahmin spoke against Lord Vishnu. Prahlad was pleased and seated the Brahmin but his side. The conversation went on.
The Brahmin asked you went to take revenge on Lord Vishnu. Do you know where he lives.
He is omnipresent. He abides in the hearts of all beings.
Prahlad you fool How will you kill the one who is omnipresent and abides in the hearts of all beings. You appear to be a dumb fellow quite like me Beguiled by Shukrachary you have embraced on a suicidal course. I am planting this stick in the ground. Pull it out. If you can do that I will accept that you can wage war against lord Vishnu.
The Lord in the guise of Brahmin embedded His stick in the ground. Prahlad descended form the throne. He tried to pull the stick out first with one hand then with both hands and then with all his might. In the process he had to bend and apply force. His prana (breathing process) attained a degree of rhythm.
His verity was slightly alleviated. It dawned upon him that the Brahmin could not be an ordinary person. He did already have traits of Bhakti. As soon as the superficial dirt of evil influences was wiped off, prahlad spoke with reverence to the Brahmin Please tell men who you are.
The Lord smiled, one who does not know himself can not know me properly. One Who does not know himself and me is hustled around by Maya (lord delusive power) like dry leaves and straws. Prahlad you have given a go by to wise sense and have allowed foolhardiness to prevail on you. That has made you agitated and miserable. One embarking upon a disastrous course is always miserable.
These kind words of the merciful Lord made prahlad revognise the Lord. He threw himself on the Lord feet and begged his pardon. But the lord who ahs compassion for His devotees said prahlad Rather I seek forgiveness from you. Yu have mobilized such a huge force to kill me.
Prahlad remained undeterred form the path of Bhakti is spite of all kinds of tyrannies inflicted by his father being thrown from mountain top and into the sea and the like. But the same Prahlad under evil influences instilled gradually by Shukrachary in him, resolved to wage war against Lord Vishnu. So long as one does not realize God as the all pervading Ultimate Truth which alone ditches him from the mind and does ways with individuality his faith remains unsteady; his state of mind undergoes frequent changes. Jay and Vijay the gatekeepers of Vaikuntha, The abode of Lord Vishnu, used to get darshan of the Lord every day but in the absence of realization of God (in His Essence) they had to be born on the earth three times. Prahlad had darshan of the Lord he also knew that the Lord is omnipresent. But that knowledge was no the mental plane. The knowledge on the mental plane is conditioned b circumstance, by good or bad company. Realization of Ultimate Truth is immutable.
When the faith of the likes of Prahlad can be shaken by evil company lesser mortals like us must guard against such atmosphere, individuals and traits that detract us from path of sadhana, of Bhakti, from faith noble deeds and mental calmness.
