The Gita gives an elevated vision to Life.

(Succinct precepts of pujya Bapuji।)

If lord Krishna has ever declared for any scripture that it sit his heart, it is for the holy Srimad Bhagavad gita। Gita is my hear such proclamation has never been made for any other scripture in the world।We have heard puranic tales that lord Braham holding Vedas in his hands originated in the lotus which grew from the navel of lord adi Narayana। But heart is closer to the person than the navel. The lord made Braham originate form his navel but for Srimad Bhagagavad gita he mentions:The traditional place for practice of Bhaaram are temples Yajnashalas and holy place however it is wonder that gita made the battle field an holy place, it was customary that one can get the revelation of Yoga by the practice of concentration mediation, Samadhi in seclude forest like a mountain cave it is in the battlefield that gita revealed the Yoga. Traditionally the disciple site at a lower place than his guru. The guru should be self satisfied and the disciple should bed peaceful. These are prerequisites of self knowledge. The Bhagavad gita has excelled in this regard. The elephant are trumpeting. Horses are neighing. Warriors of both armies are bring with the rage of revenge. Arjuna is in dilemma sitting on seat higher than lord Krishna. Arjuna is mounted on a chariot and Krishna, the preacher of gita is his charioteer. How compassionately he world be concerned of his friend Arjuna and the human kind! He is read y only to drive the chariot between the tow armies, Narayana is driving the chariot of the Nara being his servant. The same Narayana has said:Gita is my heart partha I have read in puranic tales and heard in the voice of saints that lord state that I do not love vaikuntha (the celestial abode of Vishnu) so dearly I do not love Lakshmi so dearly as I love the one who impart the knowledge of my gita. This show us how deeply the author of gita; this show us how deeply the author of gita loved his gita.Mr. pierrer trudeau the late pries Minster of Canada, read gita and visited India in 1985-85 to pay tribute to the land of the author of Gita India Before the death comes to physical body and it is cremated one should cremate his ignore acne he thought so he resigned form the post of prime minister and went to live in seclusion with a now for his physical nourishment and books of Upanishads and gita for his spitaitual nourishment. Trudeau said I have read Bible, angelic other religions works which are good in their own place but the Srimad Bhagavad gita of the Hinduism is an unparalleled compassion. The gita does not praise or censure any sect religion or faith. It is non seatrain philosophical text for the sectarian philosophical text for the development of the entire humanity gita is not the bible of Hinduism it is the bible of humanity.

Gita has never praised or censured any sect of religion it has taught the principles for the development of every man, irrespective of his caste creed of religion. Not only one sided tow sided two sided or three sided development but integral development takes about. The head of family is respected when he work for the growth and development of entire family. He might come under the influence of attachments and hearted buy lord cannot. Washed the head of the universe thinks for the good of the whole universe and when he speaks of the same it forms the volume of Srimad Bhagagaved gita.How wonderful Is the hold gita it has conveyed the complete knowledge succinctly with out leaving any subject and that too on the battlefield . It is far war scenario but. He has not forgotten even the topic of health.“Yoga become the destroyer of pain for him who is always moderate in eating and recreation who is moderate in exertion in action who is moderate in sleep and wakefulness.;It does not just speak of physical but mental health also. He who judges of pleasure or pain everywhere by the same standard as he applies to himself that yogi, O Arjuna is regarded as the highest.Do not feel disturbed either in the pleasant or disturbed earthen the pleasant of painful condition trample sorrow under you feet an give happiness to other when you get the divine vision all you actions will turn divine . Even the smallest person must become great if he gets find accepts true knowledge and any person who is considered a big sun if violates the principles of gita will exhibit his base nature in short time Ravena and karmas had scaled great heights but had lower standers of thinking an so eventually attained to the meanest sates of decadenceSage shukadev an vishwamitra were staying in huts and even lacked in good foods and drinks but since they cultivating higher thinking both brothers lord ram and Lakshaman used to massages the feet of sage Vishwamitra.The lord of the universe the all wise rama also woke before the Guru.The lord of the universe wakes up before sage Vishwamitra because vishwamitra was to height thinking lofty perspective the height thinking deserves the utmost respect. Where does on get higher thoughts form it is only for the divine thoughts form? It is only for the divine scripture like gita and for those great men who s lived an elevated life. We read the philosophical treatise form many scholars but he temporarily influence out mind and intellect to some extent but merely the elevating presence of self realized master changes the lives of millions because their level of being is highly evolved even after the assign away of such master their instruction are compiled and they become statue texts. The people become Dharamatmas reading and following the instruction for such texts. It is generally observed that a human being speeds half of his eating drinking and living he spends tow third of his life I trying to establish his influence on his surroundings and is true for servants. Clerks politicians administers ministers prime s ministers in law and mothers in law salesman and customers everyone is buys salesmen and customers everyone in busy doing the same. Yet the influence of a lay is created and destroyed lie an air bubble. But those who have established them selves in the Eternal Truth, the inflame of such great philosopher and lord Krishna has been eternally profound and diminishing.Khwaja dil Mohammed writes the divine does which for the bouquet called gita even after thousands of years emits ever increasing divinity simply to fragrance form divne rosess. I offer salutation and prostrations to such a bouquet gita this bouquet of 700 fragrant roses of verse has been passed into the hands of crores of people. Yet has not withered away.Apart form persons like mr trudeau late prime Minister of Canada khawaja Dial Mohammed taj the daughter of a fanatic Muslim and queen of the emperor akbar also glories of lord Krishna the author of gita.O my sweetheart Krishna listen to the take of my heart. I have become the talk of the town but who cares sold to you as I am. I am in on worshipping you no.More of saying prayers to Allah.Koran I no more no more do I confess to Islam.I will earn virtue with your grace, o dark complexioned one!O Handsome!O with beautiful ringlets of hair! Stained by your love I will become stainless pure. O son of Nahda I am a sacrifice to your sublime beauty: Though horn a muslim, I will life as a hindu. The queen of Akabr went form agar to viridian with her consort she did distant in a temple of Krishna for eight days, while perfuming Katrina during her final hors of life she said to lord I belong to thee and thou art mine and she bowed at a the feet of lord Krishna and left her body akbar said she belonged to the lord and so returned to his abode and I am left behind.Even Mahatma threau was immensely influence by Srimad bhagaved gita he renounced all and retried to a forest for living in seclusion. He live din a hut enjoying the blissful sate of jivanmukti liverated while living. His disciple used to observe that the area was infested with snakes an scorpions an yet he was free fear form worry grief.One of his disciples requested him if you permit I shall take you to a safe place. Mahatam Thoreau whose works were read by Mahatam Gandhi respectfully laughed and said I have the wonderful book of gita so I feel completely safe and sea cued I look all with atamdrishti, beholding my self in al m established din self. So the snake cannot do any hard to me the lofty knowledge of Gita has made me fearless I am not scared of me.Gita teaches us how to elevate the thoughts on living Gita teaches us how to remain detached even while being engaged in the terrible action of waging a war. Gita teaches us how perform our duties with the sprite of worshipping god. Gita does not give the joy of Jivanmukti liberation while living.

Sex for progeny: Nature’s plan.

Reproduction is necessary for the continual of all species, an Mother natural has bestowed the power of reproduction on all plants an animals where by it is their natural instinct to procreate. Over powered by nature’s instinct, every creature engages in the sexual act and at the same tome enjoys its pleasure as well. But is it wise to consider this natural arrangement as an ever ready means of sense gratification? In animals the sexual impulse, become active only during the mating season, and thus they ram in healthy. So has man degenerated to a level far jower even animals in this respect? Animals do not have a developed intellect, whereas it is fully developed in man..

All animals consume food, experience fear sleep and complete, and in our previous births of lower life forms we too had been engaged in these acts. But now we have attained a human form which is not the satisfaction of the lower appetites of sex and taste. It is primarily meant for the higher purpose of achieving self realization. But if we continue to hanker after fleeting pleasure even now then how shall we sever attain the highest goal of self realization?

(Excerpts form Pujya Bapuji’s Satsang)
Dadu Dayalji was a great saint. His people used to visit him in order to have his darshan. Once a youth named Rajjab was passing along with his wedding profession. Some body informed him that Dadu Dayalji ashram was located nearby Rajjab said.

“Alright! Let the wedding ceremony wait. Once I’ve reached the corseted of a saint, I’ll first go to have his darshan..
Daduji Maharaj was delivering Satsang in his ashram. Meanwhile Rajjab and a few members for the wedding party arrived there to listen to the sacred discourse. The members said Let’s proceed as we getting delayed for the wedding.
Rajjab said dear! The real wedding is of the individual soul with the supreme soul.
We’re availing that opportunity. The wedding rituals in be perfumed after wards.
After some time Maharaji Daduji concluded his discourse Rajjab came nearer to have his darshan and a conversation. He bowed with great humility. Observing his humbleness, Daduji cast gracious glance on him and said what the matter?
Rajjab said Bapuji, I’m going to fall into the entanglement of marriage.’
Maharaji ji said:
‘Rajjab you’ve created a mess by tying the nuptial head wear. You were born to worship the lord instead you’re heading towards hell.’ Will you destroy your mind intellect and finally you life by indulging in carnal pleasure loving a physical body composed of flesh and bones? You had actually come in this world to worship the lord! These couple of words form Daduji penetrated this heart so deeply that it became the turning point in his life.
He said my gracious saint! From today onwards I will earnestly meditate on the lord, Though Rajjab disciple of revered saint Daduji e engrossed himself others to do the same. He awakened himself in the japa of and also in inspiring other so do the same. He awakened on the path of attaining to his supreme self. Really blessed is the moment when Rajjab reached in the shelter of Daduji and even more blessed is the discrimination and intellect Rajjab that once when he took refute in Guru then he remained faithful till the end and also achieved everything that was worth.

Efficacious Ritual for propitiating goddess Lakshmi

On the occasion of Dipawali people practice various types of sabhana to propitiate goddess Lakshmi an attain wealth. We are hereby giving our readers an extremely simple ritual for the same involving just three days of sadhana.

This sadhana has to be done for three days for the day of Dipawali unto that of Bhaidooj. Clean the room meant for this well, burn incase (made for cow dung an not that containing chemicals) and light a lamp. Wear an all yellow dress and apply setting for this sadhana early in the morning. Do japa of the following mantra for tow counts of a rosary made for crystal beads per day. The mantra namo bhaayalkasmyai can vidmah!
Astalaksmyai ca dhimahi tanno laksmith pracodayat!

Dipawali is the birthday of Goddess Lakshmi she emerged on this day form the kshirasagara (milk sea) during its echuning by the gods and demons. Hence goddess Lakshmi is pleased with one who on this day, performs the above sadhana aspirating to have the goddess aspiring to have the Goddess permanently residing in one’s home to get relief form poverty or to earn a good living for oneself..

Prosperity an riches result for the accumulation of merits and industriousness: multiply with the virtue of charity and skill; while self restraint and good conduct lend stability to them. Riches earned by means of sin, torment of duress give rise to confects and panic: and is itself destroyed within a decade. Just as a spark of fire fallen on a heap of cotton buns it to ashes in no time so do wrongfully acquired riches vanish absurdly. Wealth earned through hard work, good conduct due observance of dharma and self restrain brings peace and self restraint brings peace and happiness.
(Excerpts from sada Diwali a book published by Ashram)..

He is the only saviour..

With the pure colour of lord’s name, the scarf of our heart we shall always get dyed.
We shall drink the nectar of devotional love; and get absorbed within .
With the joy divine showered by Gurudev our hearts melted, mind detached, The company of the sadhu is pure and true; we are always yearning for guru’s Darshan.
Gurudev boundless grace streamed forth in the form of the blissful divine Name..
Being intoxicated with sex Bliss I saw the creator pervading all creation. Satguru name guru seva Bhakti and selfless work protect like a superb amour.
Sat guru’s name is the giver of all bliss process an incomparable. Guru’s knowledge and meditation bestows bliss alleviates the pain of birth and death.
He kindle the effulgent light of life; and emanates the Ganga of altruism. God is formless with form is my Truth Absolute.
Pure consciousness all pervading, substratum of all is he; sustainer of the would. Unfathomable is the glory of satguru: unites you with god opens the door to the temple of the heart; satguru alone is the saviour..
