Satsang न्यूज़

On 27th March the residents of Shahjahanpur (U.P.) were blessed with holy satsang. Describing the significance of satsang in keeping us impervious to every possible problem of life, Pujyashree said, “He who listens to satsang with due reverence, deals with massive problems of life as if they were for his entertainment. Rather these problems help in fortifying his inner strength. On the contrary, Even small problems appear big to the one who does not listen to satsang or does not abide by the precepts given in the satsang. There is not a single problem big enough to suppress your True Self. There is also no trouble big enough to hurt you.”

28 March, Bareilly (U.P.): the devotees benefited immensely from the ambrosial stream of satsang here. Elucidating the glory of Srimad Bhagwad Gita, revered Bapuji said, and “If you’re able to comprehend properly even a single sloka (verse) of the Gita, you can never experience despair and distress even if you wish to do so You can’t send happiness away even if you want to. So the Knowledge of the Gita does not allow you to be distressed nor does it allow you to be without happiness. He who does not abide by the holy precepts of the Gita ends up hankering after pleasure which always remains elusive. Trying in vain to make troubles go away, he himself goes away to the kingdom come. Even at the time of death. He departs grief stricken from this world.”

The satsang was held in Haldwani (Uttara Khand) on 30th March and in Kashipur (Uttara Khand) on 31st March. On 1st April, at Moradabad (U.P.) revered Bapuji explained the technique of consecrating the life through devotion and dedication to the Supreme Lord, “It is through affection and devotion to the Lord that one can learn the art of living. One bereft of love for the Lord falls for and indulges in sense enjoyment and becomes petty. But one endowed with love for the Lord overcomes weakness for sense enjoyments and sooner or later, attains God-Realization.”

4th & 5th April (Noon) Ulhasnagar (Mah.): Chetichand festival was celebrated here in Pujya Bapuji’s holy presence. Revered Bapuji gave green signal to the grand Sankirtan Yatra organized by the Sindhi community. All present started dancing blissfully. The entire Sindhi community of the area felt grateful to Pujya Bapuji, the epitome of perfection, for spreading the fragrance of this festival throughout the world by making it part of the satsang, which was being telecast live. During the moments of departure, they were enraptured feeling blessed and gratified. Blessed indeed were the Chetichand committees of Ulhasnagar and Maharashtra.

After spreading bliss and exuberance in Ulhasnagar on the sacred occasion of Chetichand, Pujya Bapuji arrived at Ahmedabad on 5th April afternoon. A mammoth crowed of Sindhi devotees reached Ahmedabad airport in a grand procession and cordially received their beloved ‘Sainji’ amidst shower of flower petals and rhythmic beats of drums. At their insistence, Pujyashri seated himself in a decorated carriage. The devotees found themselves spell-bound as Pujya Bapuji delivered a Knowledge-based satsang about Lord Jhulelalji.

April 5th 7th, Chetichand festival was celebrated in Ahmedabad. A great number of people benefited from the sacred satsang. Pujya Bapuji said in the course of satsang, “A jiva is born in this world; but the Lord incarnates Himself. The jiva takes birth with the bondage of his actions and as a result thereof; desire brings him to the world. The Lord incarnates Himself of His own accord, by His own free will out of love and compassion for men and to set matters right here on the earth.”

Pujya Bapuji remained in solitude from 7th April at Delhi, from 9th April (evening) at Dehradoon, from 10th April (Evening) at Rishikesh, from 12th April (Morning) at Haridwar and from 14th April (Noon) again at Delhi.

From 15th to 17th April Bahadurgarh (Haryana): Poonam Darshan and satsang was held here. After several years of wait, people here felt blessed to attain the elixir of satsang. Enlightening people about real development, revered Bapuji said, “Development! What is happening in the name for destruction? The touchstone for real development is the amount of self-restraint, artlessness, honesty and equanimity you have acquired in your life.”

On 17th and 18th April, on the occasion of ‘Chaitri Purnima,’ a programme of satsang and Purnima Darshan was organized in Valsad (Guj.) On this sacred occasion of Hanuman Jayanti, (Birthday of god Hanuman), Pujyashree enlightened people about the great vow of service observed by Hanumanji, the son of Wind god.

In the evening of 18th April, Pujyashree arrived at ‘Hinglaj’ where thousands of devotees who had been eagerly wait for Gurudev’s visit, felt blessed and immensely blissful. Here Pujyashree inaugurated a marvelous, newly constructed ‘Gurumandir. Satsang was also held here. Thereafter revered Bapuji reached Dandi ashram which is situated on the sea-shore. Here a mammoth crowd of devotees had thronged to avail the nectarean satsang and Darshan of revered Bapuji. Pujyashree stayed in Bhairvi ashram for the night.

On 19th April morning, Pujyashree arrived at Jogvel where a huge bhandara was held. Rice, sugar, oil hot cases to keep the food warm, steel containers and boxes, clothes for children as well for adults, caps, slippers and various items of daily use were distributed, Along with the packet of assorted items, everyone was given some cash also. In the hour of culmination of satsang, the poor and deprived tribals were returning home with baggage of items received by them as Prasad on their heads; with their hearts filled with Divine Knowledge and with their countenance resplendent with blissful happiness! In order to check the alertness of the volunteers, lest they should have forgotten to include any item in the package, Pujyashree randomly checked a couple of packets. Great is Pujya of the poor and his love for the underprivileged!

After disseminating the nectar of satsang on 19th April afternoon at Shirpur (Mah.), Pujyashree arrived at Prakasha ashram for the night. Immediately after arrival, revered Gurudev blessed the awaiting devotees with the elixir of satsang. On 20th April and 21st April (noon), three sessions of holy satsang were held here.

This year, the people of Indore implored Pujya Bapuji and vigorously pleaded with him to hold the satsang on 23rd April, the auspicious day of Bapuji’s incarnation at Indore. Shabri might have waited for several years to listen to the precepts of Supreme Knowledge and nine-fold Bhakti from Lord Sri Rama. But the residents of Indore were fortunate enough to have their prayers instantly acceded to. They attained the opportunity of taking a dip in the confluence of the three streams of the Yogas of Bhakti, Knowledge and Karma from revered Sadguru Sri Asharamji.

From 22nd to 24th April, keeping in mind, Lord Veda Vyasaji’s precept, (Everything is only through the service to the Guru) people of Indore imbibed the nectars of different tastes-men if action imbibed the Yoga of selfless action; Bhaktas imbibed the nectar of Bhakti and inquisitive seekers imbibed the Yoga of Self-Knowledge.

When Pujyashree gave a glimpse of self—experience, a miracle of sorts happened as words unraveled One Who is beyond the realm of words, “Pains and pleasures depart, childhood and youth vanish, episodes of success and defeat also disappear but one’s True Self never goes away. That which never fades away is our own beloved Lord, One who acts after being established in the Supreme Lord makes his deeds holy and divine He who engages himself in altruistic pursuits for the sake of the Lord verily makes his life and his deeds holy and divine. By celebrating the incarnation day of the Lord or of saints, we get an opportunity to make our life and our deeds holy and divine.”

After night stay in Ujjain on 24th April, Pujyashree reached dewas on 25th April and showered the of satsang. On 26th April, after showering the bliss of Self-Knowledge at Ashta, Pujyashree reached Bhopal. On 27th April, the ambrosial stream of satsang flowed in Vidisha (M.P).
