Life is for Change

As per the law of nature, which though is very amazing in every field, the falling down is easy and natural, but rising up is not. For any progress one has to work hard. Water flows naturally down, but if we want to push at higher level, we need extra power. In the world today there are plenty of influences that may spoil everywhere we find enough books, one’s character, but very few that build it.

The nature takes its own way. People are of different nature and their behavior will always vary according to what they wish to achieve or do. You can not change their way of life, but you can change yourself. Your reaction to their behavior is fully under your control. You should do that. To change others is a long term program. You can not make your family members follow you all the time. You must do your duties towards them, that’s all you can do, and you must.

You will have to summon a lot of courage to follow to the ideal. Even Lord Krishna, who people say, was God in human form, could not change the tragic happenings. His parents were put behind the bars. All his brothers were done to death in front of his parents. His own kingdom, He had to leave to Sudama.

Circumstances and happenings take their own course. They are not in human control. Even Krishna could not change them fully. If you think that only the good and the right should happen to you, you want the impossible. You must be prepared for your quota of adversity. But you can change yourself, all the same.

You will have to accept, the aging of your body and many other things, you don’t want or like. But you cannot altar. All that nature / life offers it is in your hands to change your own way of thinking, your actions and reactions to the happenings of life. That is all.

When you go back to your home, go back totally changed. That is all in your hand. You should behave and act in the best possible way. Your change will change the world at least for you. You can change yourself totally. The face will not change. The body structure may remain the same. But changing your life style is fully under your command.

The ordinary people spend their lives disgracefully. The basic thinking of an average man is that he is an anatomical figure and his life is the function of few internal organs and viscera to keep up health and develop muscles and brain. And for that he uses all his efforts and mind to eat well and take care of the family and their comforts. This is because man is mostly materially oriented. The ideal of life for him is to earn money and sensual pleasures. Nothing beyond this is the target of an average man in this world.

One thing more, which the people think of developing is their Ego. They show their own prominence and superiority over others. Superiority of this type is simply euphoria. The outward show and decoration is not the index of vitality and body resistance to ailments. It is not a true personality trait. This is simply a false Ego complex.

Your behavior must change towards family, society and the humanity. You must develop different impression among your friend circle. This change you can easily develop by your strong will and decision which should be your true personality. This change will prove that your life is a real precious gift of the creator for which we have come.

Man is a consciousness of which the physical body, the intellect and character are components, besides, he also has the seed of spirituality. To earn spiritual perfection in this life, should be the aim.

Om Shanti

Be Divine

God is embodiment of virtues. A Godly man is one who shares and cares for the needy. God is worshiped by those who take it for granted that he can help their people in their problems. He is divine because, his nature is to help people. If you have earned anything good and in plenty you must share that with others- may be money, knowledge or anything in your possession. We pray to Lord Ganesha for wisdom, Goddess Laxmi for money and Devi Saraswati for knowledge. As we know that God helps divine people, who help others. When you share your possessions with others it is your divinity and your divine nature, which acts for you.

One who only earns for self is abused as ‘Ikkar’ means selfish. He is a sinner. According to our traditional Indian culture, we believe and also live in large family. The earning of one member is shared with others. The family may have crippled or weak minded members even, but he shares his earning unless his dependents stand on their feet. His responsibility should not limited in his restricted members of the family. We all are the members of one larger family which is our country, our world. That is ‘Vasudaiv Kutumbakam’ means “Entire earth is one family.”

The term ‘Atmavat Sarvabhuteshu’ means “One soul in different bodies” should be our way of life. Our help to others will set a chain reaction, that is they will also help others. Selfishness is a sin. Our expansion of family relation will create harmony in the society. Otherwise one will have to face his problems alone and no one will come to share his sorrows. One may earn lots of money or have precious possessions but will not get any mental peace. He will loose all respect in the society and will not be divine at all.

Past differences or past sorrows must not be prolonged in memory and should be ignored and a good future must be planned with own efforts.

One should have a sporting spirit in all phases of life, just as a looser in the sports, takes it sportily and winner appreciate with a shake hand smile and so must be our attitude even in failures of life. This type of courage will unfold the divinity component of yours.

To bring out a true change in personality, the external decorative expression will not be sufficient. The true health is to build up the body resistance, vitality and immunity, otherwise that will be simply an ego complex of your persona. (Face)

Now when you go back to your home from Shantikunj, you must change. Change will not be in physical body or your facial expression but you must change in the true sense. And that is change in your behavior with others, your responsibility in the family and your duties in the society. Once you have a strong will and a firm decision ‘Sankalp’ Every thing out side will also change in your favour that is the true personality development. Your change will prove that your life is a precious gift of the creator, and also your object of life.

Man is conscious of his physical body, his intellect and character are the components. He is also having the seeds of spirituality to develop perfection of life.

Om Shanti

Object of Life and its perfection

The world is full of miseries and problems. And no less are the opportunities for bliss in life. It is also said that God is present in every bit of nature including all animates and inanimate. All sorts of bad people and their bad behavior, we will have to face in this world. You may ask, what is the solution? How to face them? Should we react and respond as they do? We should respond in the same coin or we should take revenge and hate them or hurt them. For that you may or may not be successful. But your body and behavior will suffer. Your anger and irritability will definitely affect the biochemistry of the blood and the harmony of the hormones. This way you will loose more than harming the person concerned. Secondly your negative behavior will setup a new chain of reaction by other people.

You will hurt your own stability and normal physiology. That is not the way to react. I don’t advise that you should be undue tolerant, you must oppose what is wrong and injustice. What you should do, is to follow as doctor does to his patients for his/her ailments. He takes all precautions to save the body from any infection and if at all, the body is infested by the bacteria or virus, he is advised to take medicine and antibiotics to kill all bacteria and save the person. Body must be saved and the pathogen should be killed. Similarly our attempt must be focused to wipe out the evils of the man and the society to save the suffering man.

Your next step must be to progress in life for that you must be self dependent. Your health and your qualification, abilities and virtues must develop for your progress in life. Some times temporary help may be useful but a regular dependent is a curse and will bring depression in your life. Self confidence is a basic requirement for your stand. Your hardship and abilities will open your path of progress. We see in the nature, that the sun is alone, who travels from morning to evening and from evening to morning and the other part of the globe. The moon the earth and all the planets move on their path alone. All the components of the nature are busy and active in their assigned duties. I don’t mean that help or any cooperation must not be accepted but that must be only casual and occasional. Our way of life must be a self dependency and welfare of others. We should help and encourage others for their developments. Your enmity and reaction should not be focused on man but it should be against weaknesses and ailment of any kind. One thing more is to develop self confidence. One should develop own abilities but at no time should feel that I am weak and or I can’t. Every man possessed the seeds of virtues and values but one will have to grow in himself. If we look into nature outside, the insects, animals and creatures are disabled and have no path for any progress which every human being is entrusted with. We all are prince and princess of God. Just as a seed have a potential of tree and so we all are dormant God and Goddesses on this earth. Our most efficient body and system and our intellect are powerful instruments; if used shall attain perfection. We can develop our own culture and civilization, comforts and progress to any extent. Our difference is more than the difference between we people and God. We should be happy with this gift of God or nature. If we wish and work hard we will definitely create our own heaven. If we feel that we lack something we should know that we have all potentials to compensate and develop any defect which the other animates do not have.

We can help others, in some way or other. You may not have money enough for the financial help but every man has sympathy, encouragement and positive thoughts and appreciation of other’s virtues. Whatever good virtues you have must be shared with others. Sharing and caring for others must be our plan of life and this way we will attain true bliss in life.

God is love and love is God. That is all ye know and you need to know. Give sympathy. Give love. Share your bread that will bring the true growth in yourself. But remember if you want to help someone you will have to share your own comforts. Penance and austerity can be availed only by some sacrifice on your part.

Brahmin was that class of people whose life was very simple but their all abilities and qualities, they use to share with people and masses. It was the reason for their spiritual growth. It was their way of life that they were put and respected as the highest class in society the “Brahmin”. Brahmins and saints are the divine people of this earth. They enjoyed the bliss of life and created heaven on earth.

What is contemplation? – Chintan

Your just sitting alone or in solitude is not enough for Sadhana. For Sadhana or contemplation, you need self development, and prior to that you need self recognition. Self recognition means to build up the abilities and virtues, which we lack. For example, first we should acquire good health, proper education and abilities and virtues. If you don’t smoke or drink, it is fine but it is not enough for the true growth in life. It is a good foundation that if you don’t have any addiction or vices but beyond that you must undertake responsibilities towards your family, society and achieve higher values of life. The basic principle for health maintenance is to maintain a harmony with nature, proper dieting, self restraint and physical – mental exercises. Beyond the limitation of our body and our close relations, we should also consider those sections of society which are poor, downtrodden and needy for normal growth in society, because that is also a part of our development. We must be ideal and exemplary among them.

Simple sensual control on taste by not taking salt or sugar is just a precaution to maintain the body immunity and the body resistance. Man is social and hence any evil in society will also affect each and every individual even if he may not be directly involved. If any part of the body is affected, the circulating blood will also affects each cell of the body and every individual is like a cell in the body. If there is any disturbance or chaos outside, an individual can not be at peace. Hence, every one of us is responsible for our surroundings as well. Most of the time we limit ourselves to ourselves isolating from the atmosphere outside. It is not necessary for us to have that you need any money or a particular ability to help others. There are many problems and sufferings in the society, which we can lessen with our sympathy, love and encouragement.

When I talk of self introspection, I mean development of virtues and quality of life. Your goodness must spread in the society outside.

There are five basic virtues which a man should acquire. They are known as “Panchsheel” means Management, self restraint, co-operation, hard work and gentleman-ship. It is necessary to maintain the growth in the society. True worship is that contemplation in which we feel responsible for the society as we do for the close members of our family. Such a decision is known as Chintan and Manan.

The next step after contemplation is self development. Self development means extending the limit of self i.e. “Aham ka Dayara Badayen”. Mostly people are self centered and they forget that every one of us is connected with every other individual and even every particle in nature. Billions of blood cells make circulation by co-operation of every single blood cell which when combined can feed the entire body. We should not restrict our self to the word “I”. “I” should always be replaced by “We” which should be the way of thinking for development. This is “Aatmvat Sarvabhuteshu”. We are members of a large family, which is humanity. We live and grow by virtue of co-operation and efforts of people from ages. Hence our responsibility is not only towards a few but to the generations to come. We are like cells in the body of society. Our happiness of life depends on the happiness of others. When we develop the mental attitude, that everyone of us is connected with others, a new vision develops. We will have affection and love for others. We will not hate anyone and will try to elevate all. The true development of the human consciousness breaks the barriers of body or even of society and becomes one unit of the entire humanity. That is the concept of soul, which lead us to a stage where we see heaven on the earth, the finest gift of the Creator.

Om Shanti

Importance of Manan (Contemplation)

When you are in solitude, go for contemplation – “manan”. This ‘manan’ have two parts like two divisions of “Chintan” also. One part is “Atm Nirman” or self development and other part is “Atm-Vikas” or self expansion. And for that you will have to analyze your own behavior. Find out what virtues and higher values of life you lack –and start working on them to develop in your life. For example if you lack education, start to learn and study. Don’t count those bad things or habits you don’t have. Like suppose you don’t smoke – that is fine, but that is not enough, you must have virtues also. There are several branches, which you should learn to progress in life. You should leave any addiction, habit and over that you should grow higher in life. Health improvement is another field which every one should take care from the very beginning. You should expand your social contact, and develop a habit of helping the needy people. Self development is only possible if you are always vigilant on your progress. In every field of life you must try to develop and attain excellence to your best. Self development should also be not limited to self but you must take pain to develop your relations, who are also your part in your life. If your relation and friends will not be cultured or civic, they will not let you be happy, and in peace. They will not permit you to remain calm and quiet or meditate. So that is also important for you to help for them, who are concerned with you. You should do your best to develop their character, behavior and ideality in life. If your outside atmosphere and people are uncivilized and uncultured, then you can not control your reaction; as your development and peace also depends on your surrounding persons and neighbors. Then the question is what we can do for those people. We should develop civic sense in them, should inculcate honestly, ideality and other virtues in life. Money is not one factor for happiness. Several people who are money-holder or rich have lots of internal problem, family dispute and so on. On the other hand so many poor people have great harmony and happiness in life. Real happiness is in good nature, behavior and character.

One should try to develop positive and constructive thought for self satisfaction and happiness of others. In family five components are essential for happiness and peace. They are Co-operation, management, hard working and sincerity with economical budget and sympathy. These topics must be essentially considered when you sit for contemplation. “Manan and Chintan.”

2nd step after contemplation is “Atm Vikas” - Self expansion, which means increasing the field of self or ‘I’. We are one unit of society. It is individual drop of blood, when combine with others, develop a flow of blood the circulation in our body, selfishness is the habit of animal and not of human being and hence our motto of life must be that we all are one and for each other. This is total essence of Adyatm.

“Atmavat Sarvabhuteshu” must be the motto of life-means at deeper level of soul, we are one in different bodies. This will create a harmony in society and everyone will care and share the sorrows of others. This is the real development what we say “Atm Vikas”. Every thing in nature like Sun, Moon, Earth, Mountain and rivers and every thing is for all and hence should be permitted to be utilized is good share. If this becomes our nature a heavenly atmosphere will develop all around us. If a feeling of one-ness Connect - the entire humanity, it will become one family and- a real happiness will spread all over the world.

Om Shanti

Worship / Upasana – A Tool of Development

The true growth of human being is due to his inside factors. It is the root which grows the tree outside. If the roots are cut the tree will not grow. The entire growth of the personality of man is not his physical body but is due to his virtues inside. It is not his brain or money which appears in the society but it is the purity of his consciousness which appears as his name & fame outside. If his inner conscious is poor he will develop all sorts of weaknesses in his nature outside. The outer help can only be a temporary help but it can’t make one’s character. The four parts of Gayatri Mantra explain us clearly that real growth is by developing our own nature inside. The value of Upasana is in its word meaning i.e. sitting near by. If we sit near bad people we learn bad things from them & if we keep company with good persons we will also follow their virtues. The development of our children depend upon the company of our neighbors, boys and girls. Innocent nature of boys & girls follow the path of company they remain in The bad habit of smoking, theft, seeing pictures or loose talks our children learn from those boys & girls, they keep company with.

The great author of Ramayana says, “Kak Hohin Piku bakahu Marala.” means it is the company that even a crow becomes a cuckoo.

Upasana means a company of ideality, virtues & higher values of life we say that it is company of God and given a figure to that. By sitting near the picture or idol of god we should focus our mind to adopt his virtues. If in Upasana we don’t develop our feelings, our nature & character inside, the Upasana will not have any effect. By Upasana we cannot compel God to agree our demands, but the Upasana or prayer to God is to follow His ideals. Our wrong demands will never be fulfilled through prayers. God can not be pleased by flattering words. Our rituals or burning candles or incense can not compel God to agree to our demands. It is very wrong concept of the people that different rituals of worship can fulfill even our undue favours. God is not an innocent child or is not one with human weakness who can be deceived & to give favors.

Guruji says, “My friendly soul! If we demand wrong things and don’t develop our habbits, God can not help. God is a law and that what is right or what is wrong is very clear concept of God in his system. Worship is not for fulfilling demands of any nature but is to grow own virtues as God himself is.

My friends! as Guruji says on the name of religion all sorts of ignorance, beliefs, superstitions & expectations have developed. These are all wrong and faulty sectism.

When it rains the earth absorbs water and become soft but the mountain or the stone is not effected at all and hence nothing can grow on a hard plateau. What I mean is it is the own virtue which can grow by the help outside. If we are stony the rain can not grow any grass on it. It means we can make the upasana successful, if we really understand the discipline of God then only the different rituals will bring those effects which we expect from him. God will not change according to our wishes but through Upasana we will have to change our wishes, actions according to the discipline of God. The laws of nature will not be changed. We cannot dictate our demands through Upasana but in Upasana we are inspired to follow to righteous path of God. Our wrong wishes are the orders which we want to apply on God through rituals of Upasana, which is never possible. The reading of Hanuman Chalisa or Arti through incents cannot compel God to follow your demands but Upasana & Sadhana are to develop own virtues of life through obedience of God. The true spirituality is to develop own character & behavior with all our fellow men and that is the real puja and to gain blessings of the Almighty.

Om Shanti

Rituals have some actual behind

We worship Gayatri and also give preaching to others. This is a symbolic presentation. And one should not only stick to the ritual part only. The idle behind worship is that Maa Gayatri is riding over a bird named Swan. The devotee contemplates on this figure of Gayatri daily.

Gayatri is figured in a human form “a mother lady”. How a human size figure of Gayatri can select a bird to carry her from one place to another. This is a pictorial depiction of a idea. Man can ride over a Horse, Camel or Buffalo even on a Donkey but not on a bird.

Her ride over a Swan symbolizes that devotee of Gayatri must have a clear discriminating power of right and wrong. And must have a ability to select the right and just in life. It is said that a Swan or Hansa can separate milk from the polluted water. Whether it is right or wrong is not the matter but the capacity to select the right path in life is teaching of Maa Gayatri riding over the bird Swan. In other words it is the essential condition that the Gayatri sadhak must have inner courage to stick in right path in life. A firm attitude towards his righteous selection at all costs, and should not accept any misguidance from the masses also.

Most of the people follow what they see in people in society or what attract their temptations. One should have a strong hold unaffected by the people around him. One should be farsighted in making his decisions. One should have a firm believe and sincerity to his integrity and truth in life. He should be honest to follow the path of truth.

The people think that they are only physical body and so this concept makes them do everything for the comfort and well-being of his physical body and forget the true consciousness which is Soul, the basic thing of life existing in the body.

A firm decision must be taken by everyman that the perceptional level of enjoyment is not the aim of life, but the farsighted effects of his actions will be affecting his life in this world and the life beyond. It is a true wisdom, which is shown in the picture of Gayratri riding over the Swan.

Om Shanti

Promotions and failures

As per the law of nature, the downfall is natural and to progress in any field needs your tremendous efforts. The water normally flows to the down plain auto-matically; you don’t need any special effort. So is true in every one’s social and family life. There are so many factors in society and available people, friends and literature to put down your character, our genes from past like also have a role to play in our present life. If we don’t put our own resistance, things outside will definitely put you down. Hardly you will find any man, who stick to his ideality in life. But now the question is how to save ourselves and attain higher values of life under such conditions. Only your courage and will power should come forward. The whole society is polluted with negative thoughts. To grow courage and will power one will have to adopt some discipline known as ‘Vrata’. “If you want to climb on higher plain or road, we will take help of stairs. To land on planes, high power rocket to be arranged and lot of money need to be spend. In our uncountable previous births, we have accumulated lots of garbage and sins, our life We need to clean all that before we grow our spirituality. We will have to control our mind and to be conscious of sacred soul. The seed of God our long time previous lives as it is said 8.4 million lower cadre births. We have passed before me got human life. Hence there is a great tendency to fall back to beastile life.

We should develop our will power ‘Sankalp Shakti’. ‘What is that power?’ Sankalp means no other alternative, we will and will do that at any cost even at the cost of my own life. i.e. Sankalp. Dreaming are all false- whether you see in night or day but firm decision always result positively.

For developing will power we should start with short commitments. Like control on food habit and taste. To leave salt and sugar for some period or so have no relation with spirituality but it develops self control. Those small commitment what we say Vrat, have great role to play to develop will power. Next step for progress in life is good use is service to needy. Chanakya was an ordinary Brahmin, but he took one Sankalp that I will not tie my Shikha till I destroy the non patriot kingdom of Nand. He finally did with all his efforts. This is a sort of getting power to enforce our object in a particular way for a decided motto of life.

‘Sankalp’ or “Decision of action” is most vital part of spirituality. Without that it is very difficult to control flickering mind.

Sankalp is like an extra support of walking stick. Small commitment- like contributions some time or a very meager amount of money like 1 Rs Per day should be your starting point. If you can slick to that gradually, you will grow your own confidence. Your such performance will develop will power i.e. – Sankalp - become a part of your true personality. You develop your character –strength, our education, our health and so many essentials of life. You can develop with this strength of will power. It is power in you, which you manifest by observing, self discipline and self control on your mind which bring great success in life in all directions.

Om Shanti

As you sow, so you reap

My friendly soul! It is now sixty years passed, that my master-my Guru figured before me. I was astonished to see that vision at the first sight but when He showed my previous three lives and also showed HIS relation & guidance in those lives, my fear disappeared and our interaction started. My Guru narrated that he has come to entrust some major responsibilities and projects for me. He told, first of all you will have to make your own refinement and the sacredness to manifest your own potentialities to enable to perform the responsibilities which you are to take as per wish of Mahakal-the call for change, for the common good of the time.

You will have to perform 24 Purashcharan of 24 Lakhs each with full religious fervor and fasting. You will only take barley floor and cow milk with all precautions and disciplines. With that a new advice was added and that was “to gain something in life, you have to put yourself to the services of the masses” i.e. “Boyo aur Kaato” what I mean is that whatever you have, you put it in the farm of GOD, that is “serve common people”. Whatever you will give to needy, you will get in return thousand times. This is the Law of Nature. No one can get without putting something for others. The spiritual powers can only be availed when you show your sacrificial nature for others.

My Guru further explained that the same discipline you will have to follow of “give and take” to develop spiritual powers. Whatever money- cash or kind you posses, you must sacrifice for common good. Let your money, education or virtues be used for others. My master told that the two things you posses, your physical body and the time of your life. God is there, in form of needy society. You help them. You spend your life time and your efforts to serve people of this world and you will get back everything. The other thing you have is your mind (power). You will not use that as the average man do in this world in satisfying the self ego and sensual pleasure. You have to serve the humanity in many ways.

Man has three dimensional bodies. One is physical which is used for work and other activities. The second dimension is of subtler body – the intellect and third is causal body which holds the high level of emotions and compassions (Bhav Samvednaen). These three things are God gifted to every man at his birth. The other thing such as money, is not given by God and one has to earn or he gets it from the parents. So whatever we get from God, it should be used for HIS sons and daughters in this world. God does not give money to anyone. One has to earn of his own.

I told my Guru that I don’t have any money as I never did any job or any business. But I do have some parental properties. At the age of some 14 years I decided to donate my parental land to build up a school for the girls of the villages. I also donated the money which I had in form of fixed bonds. I donated these to build up Gayatri Tapobhumi. My spouse also sold her ornaments weighing some 600 grams to build up Gayatri Tapobhumi. My parental land was some 80 Begaha which was used to build up a Higher secondary school. As there was no good hospital and villagers suffered a lot, for the treatment to distant hospitals. There was high mortality rate specially of the complicated deliveries. We build up a hospital for the poor patients of the village. We used our agricultural land to grow the necessary crop to feed the members of my family and the followers of Gayatri in my Gheeya Mandi house. As such we don’t have any bank balance but we are no way poor as well. We were having a simple cottage house in the village which is now totally smashed but now we have big buildings of ashram for thousands of devotee of Gayatri Pariwar.

Now see, as a result of the obedience of my Guru, we have a magnificent building complex of Shantikunj, Brahmvarchas, Gayatri Tapobhumi and number of Shaktipeeth in India. This is the outcome of the my spiritual life. We are now having a big team who are residential and they are engaged to serve the sons and daughters of God in distant villages all over. The institution bears the total responsibility of the volunteers of Yug Nirman Yojana of God. We don’t own any money but our all needs of the volunteers of the mission are being looked after. This is the Law which came true in my life and it will be true for everyone of you. The Law is “As you sow, so you reap”. The path shown by my Guru came absolutely true in my life so I say you, follow the same path, I can assure your fulfillment both in material and spiritual life.

Om Shanti

This time is important

This is a very bad time in the history of mankind. No man can believe on the next man in his neighbour. Terrorism is spreading all over. Harmony of relations is lost in most of the families. Brother does not believe his own brother. Devotion of spouse is lost and one can not believe his relation. Such bad time never existed in history. The nature has become very arrogant. There is no regularity of rain fall. There are Earthquakes, volcanoes, draught or heavy rainfall any time in the season. Nature is reacting very adversely.

Under such adverse circumstances of nature and human behavior, don’t you think that you should come forward and share some responsibility on your part, Most of the people of the present society, don’t show any compassion towards others. Most of the people only care for own family and earn money for sensual pleasure. You can easily save some time to improve present disordered conditions. If you plan your time you can definitely save few hours every day to put your share to improve the prevailing bad conditions. Out of 24 hours, spend 8 hours for sleep, 7 hrs for your job, another 5 hrs for personal works. Remaining 4 hrs you have in your hand. But if you decide, you can save 4 hrs a day for some thing good to others. It will be a great share to serve the humanity.

Your such commitment, I assure you that you will not be in any loss in future life. If you go through the history of mankind, those who worked for the society were known as great men Gandhi, Nehru, Vinoba, Vivekanand - they worked to serve the society in true sense, and they could make other people great and changed the history. No one was in loss and they made their own life successful and also for those who worked with them. Gandhi became hero of the history when he worked for others. He left his profession of Barrister-ship. They were not after sensual pleasure of ordinary human life, but followed path of ideality.

At this time, it is my earnest request to each one of you that share some responsibility to help and guide others. During Solar or moon eclipse- the people ask family people to donate some to needy people. Similarly I am requesting all of you to come up to save the impending danger. This is the most important call of the time – not less than the call for independence of our country.

One who gives is known as Godly person, one should develop that wisdom of life. If you will develop that wisdom, you will be honest in your services. You will feel your responsibility towards family and society. You will have enough courage to stay on the righteous path of life. So the wisdom of life is the root and other virtues like responsibility, honesty and courage will come as branches of the tree of your life.

Share and care for needy and devote some time and a part of your earning for them and enjoy the bliss of life.

Om Shanti

Gyan – The Soul concept

Only man can develop soul concept. All animals have life, plants, insects, fish and all animates also do posses life, but they don’t have ‘Gyan’. They are not Soul conscious. Their life is to eat and enjoy but they lack power to develop themselves in absence of Gyan or soul conscious capability. Intelligence varies from different animals to animals and animals to men, but it is Gyan which transforms a man into divine. Gyan is beyond intelligence. Gyani understands the object of human life and his responsibilities towards the creator, the master. To whom we can say God. Man can be divine, which turns him not only great but also godly. When man was leading the primitive life his intelligence was poor and hence his responsibilities towards the society and the humanity were not known. Man was not aware of his potential virtues and ideality and many other faculties which he can cultivate and grow by developing ‘Gyan’. Charls, Darvin established a theory that human race developed from a primitive monkey class to man. They were our ancestor in evolution, but today man is in a very specific class of mammalian, who is having all potential seeds form- which can grow up to God.

There are two branches of knowledge. Everyone should develop both. One is education and informatives, which are useful for livelihood and our social life. We acquire this in schools and training institutions. In this we learn History, Geography and knowledge we get from books, from Teachers, from nature, Politics, Sociology, Economics and Laws for a citizen. This is education. We learn behavior, among ourselves. Education is very useful for our practical life we live. But we should not forget that we are not simply material oriented, we are also consciousness. We also have a spiritual life beyond material world. We also have one supreme consciousness – the soul. This operates to acquire true wisdom and to acquire compassion and sacrifice for others. This is a Godly component in men, which can grow to a level of God. To develop this seed of perfection, what is needed is know as Vidya, Which collects virtues and higher values of life.

This Vidya may also be called the spiritual knowledge. All words likes Ritambhara, Pragya, Vivek can also be used for Vidya. Making it more clear. Education when gets amalgamated with devotion and reasoning, self restraint and service to humanity - that becomes Vidya.

There are men who acquire good knowledge about many subjects, arts and science and give this world a full decorum of comfort and power. They develop many techniques of powerful tools of happiness. But intelligence does not mean the quality of life. Even the prisoners in jail may be very intelligent and knowledgeable. The crooked persons in the society are mostly often intelligent, but they don’t have Vidya. So here the subject we wish to emphasize is not education but something a prudent knowledge. Education equips knowledge and this can be used in both ways good and bad. But Vidya is greatest of any achievement, which only man can develop.

Vidya means how you can use your thought power. How wonderful result, you can drive from this physical anatomical body. How your behavior can turn this world into heaven. This is the value of Vidya.

If one achieves Vidya, it is one of the highest achievement for which one gets the human life. Vidya in script known as Amrit, Nectar. Amrit is that liquor which removes greatest fear of life, ‘Death’. May be this word proverbial but definitely something, which otherwise man can not ever achieve this Godly status. As God only always lives forever and Vidya is a path to achieve that Godliness.

Om Shanti

Self development is the root, the trunk is family welfare and the flourishing tree is the social structure.

‘Make your life object oriented’, you may ask ‘what to do for that’. The answer is ‘self-development’, ‘the family development’ and ‘the social development’ is all that you have to do. Make sure and take an oath that you will leave no stone un-turned for self improvement in all respects. We should change our nature and behavior towards others. Your thinking must change. When you go back home from Shantikunj with this spiritual change, you change your views towards the members of your family. Those members who are not ready to change at all towards betterment of life, leave them and include others as new members of your family. Before that try to change, the material views of your near relations of selfishness and so. The material change may not be possible in this physical body or may not be any change in their possessions but they should change their usual way of thinking to develop a bright future for the self and for others. You have your responsibilities towards the society you live. You can not ignore your duties towards your society. If you do not feel your responsibilities towards the other individuals of the society, you will also not get any respect or cooperation from others. You will be isolated in the society, your life will be only self centered and your vision will be restricted towards your sensual enjoyment. As a result of that in the moments of sorrows, no one will care or share your problems.

Man can not live without love and self-respect. This is an inbuilt demand like thirsts and hunger of the physical body which keeps the system in action. If you want that for yourself you will have to perform your duties towards the society in your life. If you do so you will earn regards and respects from others. It will give you a great encouragement and bliss in life. It will add feathers of success in your life. These are the primary duties of everyman. He should not forget the responsibilities towards others. If you are sincere to adopt these three responsibilities you have really done something for your soul, the sacred consciousness existing in your body. But if you do not take these basic responsibilities of a simple life of considering and caring for others only take interest in sensual pleasures and material gain you will loose the real essence of life. At one point of life you will find that you have wasted the precious human life, which was the finest give of the creator. Simple living and high thinking must be the motto of your life. Simplicity, restrain and ideality in life makes the life successful in the true sense. Our Guruji Pt. Shri Ram Shrama Acharyji says if you follow these basic responsibilities in human body then you can say that you have made a real good use of life given to you. You will have enough time and you can free your physical body and your assets to help others. You must not be ambitious beyond your capacity otherwise to fulfill that you will not be able to keep yourself honest rather you will adopt all sorts of bad and foul actions in life. If you are too much materialistic you will loose the guidance of the soul and will forget your own divinity.

Physical body is not the total man. The sensual desires are not the last aim of one’s life, but the true is sacred consciousness in you, the soul. You must work all the time to keep the soul awaken. You will have to take care of the soul in the same way as of the physical body. The subtler Body where the soul resides also needs something to manifest its power. You must keep your soul awaken with higher achievement in life. Just a tree gives shadow to those who sit underneath her shelter and supply oxygen for respiration of the living beings similarly the soul also need the care and that is why it is important to feel the duties of human being towards the society they live. The trees dry up without water and manure. So to keep up your soul awakened you will have to discharge that responsibility and then you will enjoy the fruit of a successful human life.

Om Shanti

Your Birthday

Human life is the finest gift of the creator. There is nothing which god has not handed over to man. Like a father who leaves nothing secret or hidden from his sons and daughters, when they grow up.

But it all depends on man to develop and use those potential powers. If proper value is not given even the most valuable thing will remain dump somewhere forever.

We think rather most of the people think that life is a sort of burden which has been put on him to live in the circumstances he is. But he forgets that this is the most precious gift of God to his loving sons & daughters. The human life is to achieve the real goal of life. It is totally up to you that how you use this precious gift of human life for perfection in his span of life.

If we waste our life simply for some materialistic achievements our real objects of life shall be lost. The beautiful world is a creation of God and we have been entrusted with the responsibility to maintain it, sharing the will of God. We must understand this fact on our part.

Man’s potential is very high. He can attain any limit of success both in material and spiritual fields. The doors are always open but you will have to walk in with your efforts. Unless we give importance to that gift in our life we will not be able to achieve the high objects. We can only succeed by activating our potentials for the real achievements of life.

Our physical body with highly sophisticated viscera in the body and the brain are highly precious. It is not only the physiological function of the body but they also have great virtues and higher values of life. The value of human life is far beyond any valuable material of this world, but for that we must be conscious of those potentials otherwise they will waste unnoticed and un-used.

One should first know the importance and purpose of life and then he should develop enough stamina, courage and efforts to use his life for the aim given to him. The first step on way to that aim is that. Every member of his family should celebrate their birthday, because on this important day of life he is very happy and he should think and decide his ideal planning of life. He should think why he has been sent in this world, so well equipped unequalled with his body, brain and other facilities available only in human life.

Really the birthday must be celebrated for this ‘Sankalpa’ of life. Everyone should celebrate this birthday to give his own self a emotional boost up to achieve the real goal of human life.

Birthday is one of those moments of life when he becomes emotionally recipient and hence on this day he must be conscious of that ‘Self’ (swa) and develop that consciousness to perfection through selfless love and sacredness of life.

When the person is very happy in those moments his physical and mental status becomes most sensitive recipients and hence like a hammer on the red hot iron man can make right decision and can take commitment to follow the right path. A person in gloomy mood can’t take any enthusiastic decisions. Because self introspection is the way which opens the path of true spiritual growth and birthday is the right day for this.

Om Shanti

Todays Adhyatm

The human genes (sanskaras) in body have high potentials and we have very specific purpose of our life in present time. We are entrusted with some great responsibilities to perform on behalf of the almighty during this critical period. The country, the nation, the culture and the entire civilization is suffering badly and may succumb to total ceyas if not taken care off by the people living in this period. We can remain as silent observer and restrict ourselves to our material life caring for limited members of the family and work hard only to enjoy comfort and pleasure ignoring the interest of the masses. The humanity is crying in pain. Present world needs your help. You have to share your possession, your time to cooperate with others and heel the deep wounds inflicted on the entire generation. If you deny your responsibility cause for the entire earth. Guruji says I went to Himalaya and met the saints and sages to get their consultations. My friendly soul now I have come back to you and I am committed to discharge my duties and responsibility given to me.

I use to bless to all my disciples, my beloved, but now at all cost I will have to solve the impending disastrous conditions, which otherwise is very likely to appear.

There is a Puranic story that once the earth had a big problem because demons of the time not only disobeyed moral and ethical laws rather took the earth and took it to some unknown place at the depth of the sea. It is just a proverbial statement but it means there were no peace or any law on earth, which the demon totally over-ruled. Further in the story the Lord Vishnu came to solve the problem on earth in the body of a wild pig, which is also known as ‘Varah-Avtar’ killed the demon and saved the earth and established peace and harmony. But the pig form was so enjoying in this world in sensual pleasure that the incarnated God deny to go back even to his Vishnu status of heaven forgetting his great responsibility to control the entire universe or even more. The team of God’s deputed their chief Lord Shiva, who bursted the abdomen of the incarnated pig form and the soul was taken back and established the thrown of heaven, the place of Vishnu.

Guruji says that the same is the condition with you all. You have forgotten that you are prince and princes of God. You have the same responsibilities and should not involve only in sensual pleasure. Guruji says I think if you people don’t understand I may have to undertake same cruel type of action for you but I will save earth from destruction.

At normal time all saints and sages bless their disciples. It is not mercy on disciple but as a rule it is their nature to help others to grow in spiritual field and maintain an atmosphere of love, harmony and peace every where on earth.The saints and sages cannot remain without helping the downtrodden and encouraging them for a happy and blissful life. God has given us a human life, which have very special purpose. At the end of the life we will have to explain that what good use you have made of your life beyond selfishness. Our life is for sharing and caring for others in time of their grievances and discomfort. But if your answer is not satisfactory, you will be punished for the same. Every one of us has to face the situation and should be ready for the same.

We always think to earn more and more money, we always ask our Gurus to have son and hate the birth of the daughters in the family. We ask for our promotion, material gain in life. Our rituals and prayers are always of different types of sense pleasure. But we forget the law of nature that one will not get any help from others. If you don’t give the same to others, you may get the response in different forms at different times. The reaction of every action, is a rule of nature.

My help for you all is not obligatory but this is a wish of God for which I am committed. The same rule you should follow whatever good you have, you give to others and you will be gifted.

Hanuman helped Ram in his difficult time and the obedience of Arjun was accepted by Lord Krishna and they become the heroes of the time and in time to come. So this is the call of the time and God needs the support of the people living in this period to save the earth from total devastation.

We say that Gayatri mantra is powerful tool for the spiritual development and acquire the mystic perfection in life. But it should be clear that only ritual is not enough to achieve those powers. Ramayan and Geeta are not helpful unless the advices and the characters are not followed in practical life. The story of Shabari is famous that Ram went to her cottage in dense forest and tasted her dry fruits(Ber) not only due to her prayers or the mantra but it was her service to clean road sand lanes every where who were residing in the forest for sadhana. The God’s blessing is a result of self development and service to the suffering class of people.

It was her love for everyone that Shabari got the blessings from Ram accepting her simple meal of small fruits (ber). Similarly lord Krishna accepted butter of Gopies and milkmen not because they were playing with him but it was their love for each others and for sincerity, which was awarded in form of Lord Krishna’s love for them. Guruji says that the essence of this story is repeated now in this period and you are to work for God. By cooperating and sharing the responsibility to save the earth by self development and by caring and sharing the sorrows of others.

Om Shanti

Akhand Deep – A constant burning pot since 1926 at the place of worship - Shantikunj

I lighted many candles, living candles of human beings. I started my Gayatri sadhana before this symbolic light, to let burn the true light inside others. Just as in light we can find out where to walk and where not to walk and so this light with the Gayatri sadhana guides the true path in life. In electric light or the tube light we can read good books, we can walk on the right path similarly the purpose of worshiping in front of the lamp is self- introspection and carefully plan our life on the righteous path. This light always guided me and I developed immense tolerance to stick to the discipline of life. Can you also burn this light in yourself? What I mean is to develop penance and austerity to get the right guidance of true knowledge to others. Small lighted pots have little oil and a small cotton whip gives light to a limited area but the worship before the light have a different meaning. Every man is having a divine power in his most sophisticated complex body and mind for selecting the right path for perfection in life. This light gave me a direction to practice self rectification and self development before I can give the light of knowledge to others. This light guided me to impart the same spiritual development to my followers. I spent my life from the age of fifteen years to sixty years like a burning candle. What I mean by this burning candle is that I denied all sensual pleasures in my life. I observed perfect control in my food habits. My meal was salt and sugar free and so on. I was in sadhana in Himalayan ranges. For me the scenes and natural beauty was not picnic place of amusement. I never tasted any sweet or enjoyed any restaurant meal and avoided every taste during the period of my sadhana. The himalaya for me was a place of great hardship and penance. There the climate was very harsh and biting cold at that high altitude. I faced all adversities to give the spiritual light to others. I wanted my self to understand the spiritual discipline and object of life so that I can give the spiritual guidance for developing others. I wanted to open this spiritual path on my personal experience to my devotees and for the generation to come. This is my commitment that I will burn like candle to enlighten the heart and sole of the masses.

People have lost the humanity components, their divinity is buried deep and have become dormant in this precious body. Ideals are forgotten and the only aim of life of the persons of this age is material gain. The humanity is loosing divinity and men have become beastile in his nature. Present man has only two aims the sensual pleasure and the material gain. I will heat up the atmosphere and before that I will heat up and energize myself. So that like a good conductor, I will radiate the heat and awaken the people to change this world and make it blissful to live. I am going to follow a path of hardship and penance to change others. I assure you that wherever I will be, you may not see me but I will always see you. I have developed five subtle bodies. Do you know that? Only few people know in my life that I have presented myself in different places at the same time and performed different duties of my life. My one body writes continually translating the scriptures in Hindi, writing books on different subjects and getting them printed continuously. My another body is always sitting in my room of shantikunj and people meet me from morning to the evening. The other body is all the time engaged in worship which gets up in the night for sadhana. I write no less then 8 hours every day and also read voraciously. I find time to meet everyone who comes to shantikunj which others can not know. I have really performed the duties of five persons as if they are living in one cottage. Shantikunj is like a nest in which the five birds remain. I will look after you all and I will love you till the last. My this physical separation of body is not the end for you. Our partnership is permanent. You worked for me in this Yug Nirman Yojana program and so I will not leave you. My soul is connected to your soul and it will continue till the last with word last. I mean there will be a final decision at one time and that will be either we all go to heaven or I will be with you in the hell and help you there also. You are with me since many births prior to this life as if many birds captured in a net. There is a story, that a dog went with Yudhisthir when he was entering into the heaven. The dog was not permitted but Yudhisthir said that if dog is not permitted I will also deny my call into the heaven. I love you all since many previous lives and that is why with great hardship I have organized Gayatri Pariwar a family of ours.

Om Shanti

Jesus Christ

Th is said that Jesus Christ handed over the volition (dharohar) to disciples, which may be proverbial. He distributed his flash pieces and also blood to his disciples to eat and told them that with this we become one. I will be with you and you will be for me. Similarly Guruji says that whatever I have earned the true wisdom of life, out of mine restraint in life, penance and austerity I distributed to all. I talk to you all the time. Time is no bar for me as I live in subtler form as well. I sit near your head end and I express my love for you like tapping of mother to her infant child. I also sing melodies in my way to you. I have immense love, which I express in different ways to please you and follow you to adopt the true path of spirituality as I got in my life from my Guru. I do everything on my part to guide and teach the people of my time. I am not a simple Guru who blesses his disciples. I feel a fire burning in my heart and I wish to convey that heat and radiation in your heart as well. When I speak, it is not only the words which affect your eardrum but I also have three other subtler voices to convey my message to you. I speak in hearts of people and I can contact directly to mind and soul. My whispering sound will follow you wherever you go. I will not leave you to astray in wrong path in your life. I will discuss and argue and try my ways to put you on the righteous path. I will only stop persuading you when you will start to follow this path yourself. This is the path which my guru showed to me and after strict following, I enjoyed the results and now I wish you people follow the same.

I wish you to use your valuable time in the same direction under my guidance. I have come in this world with some specific objects of my life, entrusted to me. You follow me and you will get the same results as I am enjoying. My life has a purpose in this world to create atmosphere of welfare among the masses. I wish your development and that will affect the entire human race to achieve humanity. To start to achieve this great object of life; I am asking you to share a meager amount of money, say a rupee everyday or even a quarter of a rupee and also one hour everyday for self development and sharing a little for others. I wish you to start it now and today. A day will come when you will grow up and gradually you will surrender everything; you offer yourself at the feet of the almighty that is for common good and welfare. You will see that you will get everything, that your father - the God have.

Ravindranath Tagore mentioned a story. He sang a song that once I was begging from door to door and filled up my bag and a another beggar came to me and beg that my bag is empty, you share something to me, though I had a bag full of grain, I dropped a solitary grain in the empty bag. The recipient beggar smiled and took his path. Tagore again said, when I turned my bag which was full of grain, but there was also a piece grain, which was gold. I cried and wept in repentance on my action, why not I gave turned over my entire bag in his empty bag. The essence of this story is also an essence of my Sadhana. Whatever I had cash, kind, time, knowledge or any hereditary possession, I spent every bit for others, that is my adoration at the feet of the almighty. As a result whatever powers and effects he had was also handed over to me. I never wanted those super natural powers but I was persuaded to accept and I distributed to others.

But the present time of so called devotee, is not only to get everything from God by prayers rather snatch from him and don’t want to give anything to anyone, who are needy. Such people can not get anything because God knows everything and he is a perfect law. I wish my disciples, I wish my followers that you people also should fight and struggle to give God everything good, you have for his sons and daughters, who are needy and don’t demand anything and you will get everything from him. This is the law of the creator in this world.

Om Shanti

Your Prayer

I told people based on my experience that if the process of worshipping God is correct in all dimensions, he attains all those miracles and accomplishments, which scriptures speak of. What is significant is that the worship should be of right way and the process should be correct, which I demonstrated with my examples. I explained an aspirant (Sadhak). Whatever our profession or business is it must be done with honesty and devotion.

I pray, I worship. But my prayer and worship is like my soap, which I use to cleanse myself. I use this soap in my manner. I recite Ram’s name much like the soap I use. It is for cleansing myself (and not for flattering Ram).

Why should I flatter God? That’s not for me to do. I condemn flattery. Flatter I’ll not even God. Why should I? I cannot rub qmy nose in front of any one. Not even in front of God. If God is important, I too am important being his son. Why should I rub the nose or whine and cringe before God. There is none I would whine before. If whine I must I would whine before myself, my soul, my mind, my ‘purusharth’. I’ll whine before my mind and plead with him “O misfortunate, you take your right path? Why roam here and there? I whine before my soul and say into her, “You are the source of energy, yet you have left me paralyzed, why? You want me to run from pillar to post and compel me to rub my proud nose before stone idols, why? While every thing is there in your stone, why should I beg it of the outsides? To whom should I stretch my palms? Why don’t you possessing everything, give me not?” I will follow your path.

If I have to fight, I’ll fight my soul. If I’m to flatter, I’ll flatter my soul. If I’m to beg, I’ll beg of my soul.

This is with feelings like these that I have worshipped and prayed. Never have I approached God with a mentality generally found with the beggars.

I’ve called my Ram in the manner I’ve used my soap (to cleanse myself); and in the manner of the Washerman’s stone-slab to beat myself on; and in the manner the ‘Dhunia’ thrashes cotton thread-ware. You know how the ‘Dhunia’ beats, and beats and beats cotton again to split it apart.

It is in the ‘Dhunia’s manner that I’ve used the name of Ram to beat myself with and not like a beggar to beg Him to grant my wishes.

(Never must one) approach God like an indolent, a cowards, a rowly one for petty ends. What love of God will he receive, (If he does so) What respect will he get from God? Absolutely, Nil.

I’m an honourable man and I have taken care of my honour and of His honour and my dignity. I’ve lived as your son’ your child with honour and dignity. My dignity is inter-twined with your dignity.

I maintained God’s dignity and proved God made no mistake in granting me life of a human being. I protected God’s dignity and He mine. God declared. “Go, (in peace). No harm shall be done to your dignity.” I’m a man of dignity. My dignity I maintained. None could do so. None have ever pointed a finger (at me) and never have I let it be stained.

I have taught people many things by educating them in spiritual knowledge and processes. I have been telling them that nothing will be beyond them if once they resolve to pray, to reach God with dignity and honour. No task they undertake will be leindered. Was any of the stupendous enterprises I undertook leindered?

God commanded me to change people’s minds through ‘Gayatri’. I said to Him, “Wherefrom shall I get the capability to do so?” He answered, “Capability is in your soul.” And, then, I traced this capability of the soul. What has not been accomplished since then? Am I not there influencing that actions of millions. I have initiated five million people and have been influencing the minds and hearts of billions. Is that not a miracle?

I was a man without means. There was none to offer me financial aid, (moral) support, or any dowry. One single man, alone, does it. How a lone man moves the world can not be assessed right now. Just wait.

One day it will be assessed how I guided the (human) society by literature, by teachings, by speech. Whenever I opened my mouth to speak, my speech like the bullet from a rifle pierced people’s mind, and overwhelmed their feelings and thoughts. My words have been and will keep overwhelming people.

And I am not going away yet. Ha! I am just stopping the “Baikhary” speech and making use of Para, Pashyanti and Madhyama speech again. I will graze people’s hearts, move their souls and influence their minds.

Such a capability must be seen in man. Whose influence is it? This is the influence of pure spirituality. It is not an influence of small, ordinary man without means like me. What I have taught and demonstrated by my life is this in nutshell; when a man knows how to use spirituality rightly and keeps on the right track, he can hope to reap the same harvest as I have done.

Om Shanti

Prayer – It’s meaning

It has no meaning if one, with no eligibility, harbours the illusion, the dream and wishful thinking that just by turning the wooden beads of the rosary, or reciting “Ram, Ram’’ in a parrot like fashion one would be really praying. Even if one pronounced the name of ‘Ram’ with a tongue of gold, it will have no meaning and go in vain. Similarly, the ‘Gayatri mantra’ repeated and recited along with the wooden rosary will have no effect, bring no benefit. Millions, I know, come complaining that they got no benefit describe reciting Ram’s name. Millions complain that the “Gayatri Mantra’’ yields no gain. I do appreciate it. No benefit has been reaped, nor will any be.

But I can reassure you that the ‘Gayatri Mantra’ can work miracles, if it is recited and repeated in the right manner, if it is rightly adopted in life, if it made runs through one’s veins, emotions and thoughts.

One proof and example of such a miracle is I- the man sitting right in front of you. My life book has hundreds of chapters, which I have sealed till the end of my life. I have helped and served a large number of people for you to believe in. A man, you would say if ever you came to know the details of those I have helped and served, cannot fulfill even his own wishes, how can he, then, help so many people in so many different ways?

Yes, I say, I can. My friends, this is a throne and it’s not that every Tom, Dick and Harry can sit on it. Only he has the right to sit on it, who has not kept the “Gayatri Mantra” limited to his tongue or to his finger. Tips, but has, instead, drunk this elixir of life deep and let it circulate through every part of his body. Only such a one has the right to see the miracle of ‘Gayatri’. Such a man can say he / she recited ‘Gayatri’ but had no benefit. If such a man comes to me, I’ll tell him/her it’s my responsibility to let him/her have the benefit. I’ll give a part of my ‘Punya’ to him/her.

I want to assure you that the Gayatri Mantra’ means refinements of intellect that’s what my teacher taught me. My friends, ‘Gayatri Mantra’ as a mantra of cleansing and refining one’s intellect, is in every part of my body.

I have devoted all my mind to know whether my intellect, thoughts and wishes are like what they should be of a devotee of ‘Gayatri’. I have been always trusting myself (to know whether my intellect etc. was true or false.)

In old days touch-stone was applied to judge whether the coin was true or false. The false one was thrown away, the true one was retained, I have been applying the touch-stone to every instinct of mine and have learnt which part of mine was true and which was false, and improve further where I was found true. My prayer was not limited to prayer time only. I have prayed 24 hours. I have put myself through the teet-fire for twenty four hours a day. Every minute have I evaluated my instincts and cleansed them. I have prepared my mind so as to be ready for refinements if God was to come there and refine it and not turn away from here in disgust.

Man’s mind needs to be cleansed. God despises hypocrisy and greed. Yes He does. He is not to be flattered. He needs not his name be pronounced. God does not need your praise, flattery or poems so that you would hold Him in thrall. God cannot be so chicken hearted, so weak willed.

We human beings, think God to be so pliable as to believe that any one can flatter and exploit Him. How can God be treated like that? How is it possible for people to believe they will get whatever they desire merely by flattering and praising? This is impossible.

“God, you are very good. Your name is very comely. You killed Mahishasur. You killed Kansa. You killed Vritrasur. Now, please give me this, grant me that.” This is being down, right idiot. But today this is what is known as prayer, worship, ‘dhyaan’, & ‘Jap’. The whole world has plunged in the darkness of ignorance, caught in the web of illusions, wasting its time and energy.

Spirituality is being given a bad name. Complaints are made; “We took God’s name, we worshipped God, we flattered Him, we fed Him with sweets, rice and incense and yet we got no gain.” How can you get gains? In order to gain you will have to assimilate spirituality in your life. Assimilating spirituality is the teaching of prayer and worship.

Om Shanti

Your Life

We are in this world and wish to enjoy and for that what we need is good health, happiness and discharge our duties for the family. But we should not live totally busy for self and forget the object of life. Because we don’t remember and work towards the main purpose of life, it will prove disastrous. There is a true story about a class of monkey Simbun found in Africa. These monkeys are very easy pray to the hunters of that area. They can catch them by attracting them for a handful of grains. Hunters keep some grain in a narrow neck iron pot and the monkey puts his hand to grasp the grain inside and for hold that he closes the fist, which and not come out due to narrowness of pot. The monkey thinks that vessel have caught his hand and does not open fist and is caught. This foolish temptation is enough for his easy pray to hunters trick. The monkey can not think that he should open the fist, leave the grain in hand and save life. And then the hunter gets hold of monkey, peels out skin, cut flash in pieces and so on before monkey’s death. Should we also face similar fate in life, due to attraction of this material world? We spend our life for material gain, sensual pleasure, temptations, self ego like monkey’s craze for getting something to eat and can not think, this will lead to a agonic pain of death. We should no do like that and learn a lesson from Simbun’s fate. Cart mark use to say a communist leads who founded communism my brother workers unite together, her a collective voice, you will not loose any thing and gain every thing is this world good house, good food, clothing , good education to your children and will not loose any thing and if at all you will loose some thing that will be your property, which you should loose for happiness and I Pandit Shreeram Sharma speaks to you all that you follow like path of true spirituality “Adhyatm” and you will gain every thing in this world and in the world beyond if there is any? If at all you will loose any thing, you will loose selfishness and false ego, which you must loose. And if you do that, I assure you that this partnership with God or follow the path of greatness, you will really enjoy the bliss of life. The river Ganges being connected to Himaliyan and flowing since ages and is always fed with flow of Water, which the mountain gets from clouds. It is her service to ground level animates and in-animates that the flow heaven end and will never end. So is true for our life. If we give to others, the creator will never keep you empty hand. You can believe in that. This is the result when you connect your self for great purpose in life. In flood time we see small canals overflow but in summer they dry up, became they have not connected it some great source and could not do any permanent service. We should also have some great purpose in life. If we can develop that courage in life, we will always get help from God. We see kite flying in the air because it is connected to the player’s hand by a thread with a system or a puppet show we see dolls playing, dancing because of their connection to the master player and so we must also get connected and become one with him, under his laws and discipline our prayers for God is not to dictate our demands, but we should follow his wishes of ideality and service to humanity.

Our prayers should not be for. Selfishness but in prayer must be our commitment to his discipline of life for you and others. Guruji says -your such sincere prayers will be definitely rewarded and will give you a bliss.

I earnestly request you that be happy and make others happy and be always a happy mood and stress from and you will that happiness will flow in you. You must take lesson from the gardener, he care for each and every plant. He serves and does not command like master. He takes care. One should only care for his duties for self and others.

When we live in this world, we will have to work for self and for the family, but it does not mean that we don’t have any responsibility for others. All humans are sons and daughters of God. We have responsibilities for them also. We should all the time feat as if, I am all the time connected with the Almighty Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omnipresent God. That remains ideal of life. Live your life with a sportsman spirit. Success and failure should not affect you negatively at all. Whatever work you do, what so ever you speak must be your best. Let that be enough for you and forget the result. Because many times circumstances also affect the end result. So you must satisfy your self with your efforts. Many people on this earth were not successful in result but they were successful in life, established ideality in life for others. Such sparking like you must lead and that is really the object of life given to you.

Om Shanti

Duties of Gayatri Devotees

Many devotees ask me how should we do our sadhana. My answer for all and for all the time is “don’t ask for this, but you should ask how we develop ourselves”. You must change yourself, you must rectify yourself. Once you are changed and adopt virtues in life, then everything you will do, will be right and good for you and others. You must develop your self in a perfect mould (die). Any melted metal when put in a mould, takes the same shape, So any good person serves as a properly developed mould. It is this reason that when any true saint, or a reformer or Shahid, comes the people follow them in masses. Toys are made out of mud material when they are put on the prepared mould. If you will show people light, the followers will follow your path. When you will put your example of sincerity and other virtues, then seeing that other will follow. But whatever you expect from others is not followed in your life, you will not be successful. To become a tree, there is long and difficult process through which seed have to pass. It melts deep is soil, breaks its hard core and then it can sprout. And finally grow as tree with leaves with flower and fruits. This is the law of nature and also applies to human being. Every human being in his life produces new seed, or developes genes for the generation to come.

My friendly soul, if you develop yourself, you need not to worry for any action in life, Arjun dev was a very simple volunteer worker among the disciple of Sikh Guru. He developed himself, observed and followed all disciplines of the Sikh regime. Hence it was his own sincere development, that he was honoured as next Guru of Sikh community.

There were many other scholars –more learned, well equipped and were known as leaders, but could not rectify themselves. So the egoless Arjun Dev automatically by his virtues became the next assessor of the series of Guru of Sikh communities. What is important for the greatness of life is beyond education and abilities and that is character and higher values in life. Though he was doing job of cleansing of utensils job have rectified himself totally. Seven Rishis known as ‘Sapt-Rishi’ attended that status by self rectification and self development only.

Mahatma Gandhi also developed himself and under took a novel cause of Independence of India and so he was followed by thousands of people with him Buddh also had big team of his followers by developing the self.

It is the attraction of true personality that attracts people behind him as follower and supporters. Mines attract other iron particles and thus big mine develop. It is the quality of life that makes personality and directs other people on right path when iron ore or any metal appears in mines, it be raw and dirty iron ore, which with purification technique become the shining steel for use. Social service is only possible when self rectification have been taken fully by the reformer.

Now I invite you all for some great purpose of life. You will feel a bliss. You be a share holder in my business. It’s really a profitable business. I can only fulfill a part of your demands, as my disciple. Because this can not be unlimited but if you share with us it is a long time profitable business. You must have heard the story of a blind and a lame person. There was a fire in house. One person was blind so can not see and can not go out, the other lame person can not walk, so how to save their life. They shared what they had, ignoring what they don’t have. The lame person climb on the shoulder of blind person and showed the path to blind. Who could run out and save lives of both. As I shared my Guru, who is in Hymalian and you work for me, when I will be a subtle and causal body. Mandhata King shared with Great Guru Shankaracharya. King Ashoka shared with Budha and Shivaji helped Swami Ram Das. You should believe on me and you will definitely get the same as I got from my Guru. What I need from you is time and your physical service and that is all. You will get beyond your hope and efforts.

I worked for my Guru. I gave everything, I had to my Guru. My Guru works for God, so if you work for this mission and devote your time. You will also share the spirituality of mine and of my Guru in your life. This is my earnest request for you all.

Om Shanti

Social Reformation

Really only those people are religious, who develop themselves from inside. On doubt we should work to eliminate the evils of society by putting resistance and mass opposition. But to develop and setup a good system in society one will have to set his own example of ideality. The basic ideal principles are “Atmavat Sarva Bhuteshu”. That is we all are one - one soul in different bodies. This is declaration of great Upnishadas of Indian Culture. We should behave with others in the same as we wish from others For social revolution we will have to understand man and convince every one that we all are members of our great family. We all are deeply related some where like all the components of tree are connected to the root. We are not three or five members of our family, rather we are all members of one large family. Hence as we feel ourselves responsible and love our own son and daughter or brother or so, we should care and share for others goodwill and needs.

We will have to establish again those laws and discipline which applies on all the units of society for the welfare of we all. There must be a strict control or any selfishness which directly or indirectly affects the society negatively.

“Atma Pratikoolani Paritray Nah samachareh.”

If we follow this. They will develop a great harmony in every one’s social life.

If we all agree to share our bread and sorrows as members of our family. There will not be any scarcity of food or so for anyone. We should be loving to all. We should use our earning possessions but not selfishly. Uniformly and harmony must be in our life. There should not be any discrimination in between son as parents for the son or daughter those who have more money should help the poor section as brothers do. All of us must be a good citizen first. We should co-operate in problems and businesses of others. In society our dealing, must be as members of our family. Wherever there is injustice or bad thing we must oppose and put resistance to your best from heaven the demon in all incarnations of God- they did one thing destroyed the evils and helped gentlemen to establish. In the same way in our small field of our life, we should help good people and oppose the evil. For that we should first put on own example. We should be brave to oppose evil in the society. To our best our self courage and a collective courage we should wipe out the evil of the society. If we want to establish peace and harmony in the society we must ready for a strong opposition also.

If we don’t put that courage the bad elements of the society will grow and the social structure will be disturbed, for social reformation. Everyone must be brave to put resistance for bad people of the society. Presently the total society have reached to a point where it may lead to a total massacre, or a self suicidal state to masses. Such system can only be checked to by people of great courage and sacrificial nature for the ideality of life. Our aim in our Yug Nirman Yojana is to develop that courage in every member of our society must awaken that high potential courage which is always in bulli a every man being a part of God. For the time being in this critical period of time, one should come out of his material oriented life and work for. To save the earth from the chaotic disaster. For that we may have to put some sacrifice on our part our intention to bring we all on a common platform is to develop a new personality in every one, man of high character, ideality and brave ness to serve the human. All of us must plan out life for the great purpose of this period of history. We are living, we will be creating a new man in a new society of good people and good atmosphere on Earth.

Om Shanti

Important Time – Critical period of time

Guruji says that every one of us the members of Gayatri Pariwar must take it by heart and soul that this is that period of history, where a big change is destined. And every one of us has that potential strength to be a important participant to share that great responsibility. Most of the animals and insect class of animates only work for their sensual pleasure of life. Most of the people also lead their life in the same way. But you are among those on whom God have entrusted great responsibility of the life.

Every member of our Gayatri Pariwar should believe that his life is meant for great purpose of life. That is why he or she has come in this period under banner of Yug Nirman Yajan. Once you accept this you will enter in the high way of successful life. You are not born to live a life of some ordinary person or this earth. You are not to live for self or only family but to change the world for a bright future of the time. Lord Krishna was born in very adverse circumstances a prison but his purpose of life was great. In the same way, you all can believe me new chapters of life will open for you, definitive role in this life under instructions of the Almighty.

Your first step must be that you decide that you assigned for you in this life is totally different, whatever age people do in their life. And then the materialistic life you will have to ignore and you should work for the creator and play your life in different way. It is clear on the page of history that those who worked for common good proved the use in as great man of the time. The third step forward will be that our aim of life should be for developing the humanity component, which will make you the hero of the time.

We should develop our vision of life like other great men in the history are then according to you will have to develop you character and action in life. My all devotees should practice this way of life to get success to fulfill the responsibility assign to you all by the creator.

Om Shanti

The Call of the Time

You should not ignore any way the call of the time. No way you should forget that, you are very important person on this earth, Hence some great responsibilities are entrusted on you. You are a volunteer of Gayatri Pariwar during this important period of time. Great changes are very likely during this period. You may not be your vision but I know and I can see that. This is a turning time of history. Many problems all over the world are being solved very unexpectedly. Science is developing tremendously. Scientists have developed lethal arms, gases and rays which can destroy the entire earth in few seconds. Any one with his power and passion can ruin this earth, which have taken this shape in million of years. The human passion has crossed all the limits of selfishness.

Science is growing up, man’s intelligence has grown and there is plenty of flow of money every where, but the self-centered nature of a average man have fallen, which was never seen in the human history. Man is the most dangerous enemy of others man. Human feeling is lost. Any one or any country can become the worst and dangerous enemy.

If this selfishness grows in the same way, the earth may loose its existence for ever. According to this utopia just after existence of any life – vegetables or animals may extinct. But there is also another side or picture of the same, which is my vision of the new world. The new world will be of loving people all over in different lands. They will live like members of one family. And as I am sure you will see the world where material and spiritual growth of the scientists and good people of Earth will create a heaven on Earth.

Few thousand years before the electric or communication facilities were not there at all but men were happy and lived harmonious life. People were friends among themselves. This way we are standius on a cross roads. Few steps on left may lead to a worst hell and few steps on right side is heaven. Your one vote will decide the fate of this earth.

The faith of the earth is at the balancing point of total destruction or rejuvenation to its original form of heaven. Your vote will finalize the decision. When both the parties get equal votes, the President’s vote is final and you hold the right of president’s vote to decide the fate. Hence you decide how you wish to shape this earth.

I think you will vote to establish peace and harmony in every one’s life, Let us not be beast like, but like truly civilized and cultured person on the earth.

This is very special period in history, a Golden opportunity for we all.

Om Shanti

When you go from here – Shantikunj

We are sending you back to your home after a small Anushthan, expecting lot of hopes from you. Our expectations are great from Gayatri Sadhakas (aspirants), but you will have to face great resistance. Your commitment here may not stand so strongly in that atmosphere. For that you get prepaid with a army of firm thoughts to tide over the resistance at your home. Your strong decision can only put you strongly to your commitment here. In case of poisoning doctors use another poison medicine to neutralize the lethal poison. If you want to remove a thorn from your body, you will have to use a thorn like instrument to remove that similarly negative a harmful thinking must be neutralized or wiped off by positive constructive ideas. Human mind gets polluted from time to time by the atmosphere outside and material temptations. It is our new thought which we will have to develop against them. Our commitment of honesty and responsibility must neutralize their negativity. When we think of those divine people like Hanumanji, We develop courage not to get attracted by any sensual pleasure and strong like Hanumanji, the hero of Mahabharat though on Kourav side had control on his life due to his penance and austerity The Brahmcharya, the great Shankaracharya Jagat Guru could do to develop control on our flickering mind or harmful thought we should remember our great heritage of big saints and sages and great man from the time immortal.

It is but natural and every one if he wants to become a great man he will have to not only control with ideality of life and face all sorts of resistance which come a the way. Without that fight with the self the true growth is not possible for any one in life. It is your our developed ideal planning of life that can remove not only your but also bad elements from the society. You can create a new atmosphere in the society as well. It is your decisive thoughts which give base to the true personality of a successful man. There was a farmer in a province of Bihar, who decided to plant 1000 mango plants, not only planting but grow them till fruiting. His decision was firm. And he made this difficult job successful. It is would have not bear his continuous effort to material the decision simple imagination and planning would have done nothing, is just waste of time. Only such strong decision and efforts can bring success in their life. To develop a strong will. We do different type of exercise like fasting or other type of restraint in life.

We ask our devotees to put on yellow garb. These are minor exercise, to develop will power, and that is we are not going to yield to the evil components of society and will slick to ideality of life. This way we grow our will power against existing ailments of the society. Similarly devotees take simple food and control over taste sense and so on. These are the ways we control our beastile habit in life. Our mind is our best friend and worst. Rather most dangerous enemy also. If we don’t have our control on our own mind, just like a furnace, which melt the iron and then any shape can be given to this hard material, in the same way your mind control will prove itself as best friend and help to progress in every field. This is Sankalp or self imposed discipline.

All great men on this earth have developed this will power i.e. Sankalp. Not to take salt or sugar In meal on Sunday or Thursday. Penance sanctity as observe, silence for 2 hours everyday. One just practice to develop self control. True we will become more responsible citizen and develop a ideal personality. Self restraint and mind control is a very good exercise for self development and success both is material and spiritual life.

Om Shanti
