The saints of India are initiators and propagators of such great traditions that place India in the forefront of peace, happiness and harmony in the world. Today even foreigners get joy, and peace from the gifts of yoga, Self knowledge, and meditation received from sages, and Self-Realized great men of India. On the contrary the society in general and young men and women in particular are aping blindly the western customs and manners being over-whelmed by them. The mad rush for Valentine Day and other imported festivals is a clear design to weaken the students and youth. To save the society this social evil, a campaign for celebrating 14th February as ‘parents’ worship Day’ in stead of Valentine Day has launched under pujya Sant sri Asharamji Bapu’ s auspices for the last six years. To inspire the whole world to observe parents’ worship Day, a prerana Sabha was held on 14th February this year at Ramalila Maidan, Noida (U.P) wherein many saints awakened the society with their brilliant and vibrant thoughts:
Mahamandaleshwar Swami parmatmanandji Maharj: I bow at the feet of highly venerable, highly revered, Sadguru, Sant Sri Asharmaji Bapu, a glorious great man of the world. Would like to express the reverence for him that fills my heart in the following words:
‘There is no creature more industrious than the ant; there is nothing higher than the sky; there is nothing deeper than the sea, there is no mountain higher the Himalayas; There is no paramhamsa like Sanaka and his brothers; And there is no Saint like Sant Sri Asharmji Bapu.’
His Divine Holiness has suggested for the celebration of parents’ worship Day. They (western people) have glorified desire. It is not good for an unmarried girl to celebrate any Day with a boy. It is blemish to our country. Today I salute Bapuji for this. He has created a new idea of ‘parents’ Worship Day‘ to erase this national stigma. It is to be remembered that when a girl celebrates any Day with any boy, it is an expression of and indulgence in desire. And when the same girl and boy bow at the feet of their parents, It is a form of worship. His Divine Holiness saved the young generation from desire and opened the door to worship.
Mahamandaleshwar Swami Devendernanda Giriji (Secretary-General, Akhil Bharatiya Sant Samiti):
If there is true love in the heart, it turns even a stone into God. And to the true love if the holy company of the Guru is added, it becomes all the more inspiring! Bapuji!‘I have seen even a stone melting with
the warmth of your love.
I have seen fortune smile on many a wretched soul.
Whoever was blessed by you was
saved from the jaws of death.’
I just want to say about Bapuji that:
‘How can we the describe your virtues,
You are a sea of virtues?
With your gracious glance bestow life even on death.’
The way the programme is planned, I am sure Bapuji is leading us to a new destination.
