MAHASHIVARATRI – 27.2.2014

DANDI ASHRAM – CONCLUSION OF  8^TH DEEP MEDITATION ANUSHTHAN

We left for Navsari on 26^th February at 12.15pm from my office. Originally six of us had planned to travel and on January 1, I had booked two rooms at Hotel Regency – one for ladies and one for gents. But as per Guruiccha three dropped out at the last moment, and only three of us travelled with Pawanji deciding to come by train and join us at night. We reached Dandi Ashram by 4.30pm and caught the evening meditation. The atmosphere was cool and vibrant with energy. After meditation we had bhojan Prasad and reached the hotel by 9.15pm. On the way we got a call from Krupaji who said that there was some problem with booking as Ramnathji using a mobile app had booked two rooms for the 27^th of Feb instead of 26^th. I told her that Ramnath and his wife and son can stay with me, Khamankarji and Truptiji by putting an extra bed. Krupaji adjusted with Channeeji and and Kishorebhai and Prashantbhai went to Pratapbhai’s house. The Guru energies had already provided for Ramnath’s miscalculation with the last minute cancellations which I got. So my faith in Guruicchha was further re-affirmed.

Next morning I woke up at 2.30am as we had planned to leave by 4am, but I saw an SMS saying that we should leave at 4.30am. By the time we reached the Ashram it was 5.20am and after parking the car almost a kilometre away (the parking arrangements were beautifully done) and walking towards the Ashram, we realised the number of people who must have come would be in the range of 15000. Khamankarji had left late as his wife was getting ready, but while walking towards the Ashram, I just mentioned his name to Pawan wondering where he could be, and when I turned back there he was – amazing the way the Guru Energies work, I must say! We kept walking and with His desire we were taken right to the front and made to sit directly opposite Pujya Swamiji’s throne.

The atmosphere was beautiful, a very pleasant cool breeze was blowing – meditation had already started at 5.30am as we sat down for meditation at 5.40am. After getting 20 minutes of meditation, Rambhai said the prayer and Shanti Path, which we recited after him. After that Hemaji mentioned that Pujya Guruma would come shortly on stage. Pujya Guruma came on stage at around 6.15am and after telling us that the atmosphere in the Kutir was filled with so much energy, that once one enters inside one automatically goes into a trance, the number and quality of flowers and fruits blooming inside the kutir were many times more than those outside. She then congratulated the entire team who were responsible for typing, translating, editing and then printing Shree Satguru Vani (a compilation of Pujya Swamiji’s Anushthan messages) in three languages – Hindi, Gujarati and English. These books were subsequently launched by Pujya Guruma with the message that these messages were written when Pujya Swamiji was at very high levels, has got a message for everybody and all the secrets on meditation and how to progress are given therein. Later Hemaji announced that Pujya Swamiji’s arrival was expected shortly. As the chants were playing I was in meditation, and suddenly there was a loud chirping of birds and a voice inside me was saying the birds are announcing the arrival of Pujya Swamiji, and within a few seconds, the conch sounded and Pujya Swamiji walked slowly very slowly onto the stage in a very high state. He lit the lamp as we recited the Deep Prajolan Mantra.

The stage backdrop had a painting of Lord Shiva and it appeared that there were stars shining across the globe indicating the presence of a Divine Idol in each continent. In the sky we could see one tenth of the crescent shaped moon with the North Star just above it, as if Lord Shiva with the moon and star embedded in His hair was looking down upon us from the sky. The sight was truly divine.

Pujya Swamiji started His discourse at 6.38am. My salutations to all pious souls. Today on the day of the holy festival of Mahashivratri I want all the souls who have gathered here to sit for introspection. Mahashivratri is the best occasion for introspection all through the year because on this day every person is inward looking (antar mukhi). Through the medium of Mahashivratri, Lord Shiva’s body we perform Lord Shiva’s puja, view the Shivalinga, we worship the Shivalinga and perform Arati, offer ‘bel’ leaves – these leaves are representative of the three channels (Sushumna, Surya and Chandra) of our body. We surrender to ourselves and try to reach that Shiva, whom we understand to be the medium of Shiva through his ‘linga’. Man has always taken the easy route, man always follows such a route, so puja (prayers) is a process which is performed in a serial manner through the body which takes us within. The objective of puja is the same – to go within. After going within – do you have to go anywhere, look for anything – no – what is within; we have to reach that Shiva which is truth and beauty. For performing puja one requires a place, resources and holy books. It is not necessary for every person to have a place, resources, holy books and a conducive environment – but that is the easy path, the simple way – to do this you need a pure mind (chitta shuddhi). Next, the puja processes have been made easy and have been tried; the medium has been sent to reach the people through meditation by the Guru Energies.

This was started 800 years ago – their interpretation Shiva was different. Shiva is nature – a Sage went into nature and by performing penance became one with nature and obtained the state of nature – that Sage obtained that state through His own efforts and later what He had obtained through becoming one with nature – He established it in a capable disciple over a period of one year and gave up his body. The next medium passed it on to the next and so on for the last 800 years and then this Shiva puja reached society.

For Samarpan, it is special because 20 years of coming into society have been completed on this day - this is not a small period. This has remained the same over the 20 year period. Our Gurus used to think far into the future. They have also shown the path to be taken in the future from the present onward. If you walk on that path you can benefit. Any country, state, cannot progress till such point when every citizen gets an equal opportunity for individual progress. Till this country/state comes into that state no progress can happen. Progress takes place in collectivity – the government has made laws by recognising this. That is a different sphere. Believing law, depends on your belief, the body does not accept it, law is for the body, but the soul accepts it. Internal change does not happen. If you want inner change then you have to accept one path – that path is meditation. Samarpan Meditation is the only path, by walking on which, any country can walk on an equal footing and for which all laws have been made.

Paramatma is universal consciousness and this pervades the universe and is present in every atom and particle. It is the speciality of nature that it gives all equally – call Shiva, God, anything – it gives equally. Hence in the last 20 years from the tribal’s in the jungle to the intellectuals at the Theosophic Society in London have got the same spiritual experience – there has been no differentiation based on country, state, colour, caste, gender, etc. The spiritual experience which the tribal’s of the jungles obtained can be obtained by anyone in the world. Nature does not look at faults of quality, whether one is knowledgeable or not, useful or not, etc. – there is no such differentiation; it does not examine such faults. There is no yardstick – nature has no yardstick.

Fools are called ‘ulloos’ (owls) – recently I came to know the reason why. An owl is called an ‘ullu’ (in Hindi) because he does not see the sunrise. The sun’s speciality is that it gives uniformly to all, it can be seen by all, it gives everything for free, air does not charge anyone, Samarpan Meditation is also free for everyone – for 20 years it has given equally to all. In this manner Samarpan Meditation started in society 20 years ago and today 20 years have been completed. Gurus slot themselves according to the state and show the path accordingly. In the earlier days there used to be only two examinations in a year to test students, now there are monthly tests and the total for the year is taken to decide the annual score and to pass or fail a student. These 8 Anushthans are not like that – it is a big plan/project, a plan which was executed for 45 days a year for 8 years. Thus if you calculate 45 days for eight years adds up to 360 days which is one year. So it has taken one year to complete. All of you have passed this test. Serially it has been established through eight parts – a year of penance, the process has been divided into eight Anushthans which the Gurus have completed through us. These eight Anushthans – this project – after completing this, now what? I will explain this in detail.

Like when you supply electricity to a village – that same process has taken place in these eight Anushthans. First the electric poles were established in different places which the Guru Energies had shown, decided the scope and the sphere. The Guru Energies bless everyone equally, hence their sphere of blessing is massive – hence at different places in the world they decided these locations in advance. Now from this year onward, uniform power will be supplied through these 8 Divine Idols which have been created over 8 Anushthans through the medium. The medium’s body is now connected with the 8 Divine Idols to supply continuous power/energy. This has started from today, it is a massive field. After supply starts, what happens? You get experience. This is my latest experience, which I want to share with you – go to any Guru Shakti Dham, prostrate, say the Guru Mantra thrice and you will find your Kundalini go straight to your crown chakra, each Divine Idol has this power. Now these 8 Divine Idols will do this work for the next 800 years. This is a new experiment by the Guru Energies. There is progress in every field, but we experience it only when we go there. Experiment with a new person and pray for awakening, for three years there will be no difference between sadhak and non-sadhak. Now, the difference is that you know it now, but the others will realise it later. Today we have become successful in a project which has lasted 8 years. When we read a book we examine what is important. What did we understand now that we have read the book, introspect and check! How we understand Samarpan Meditation – it is all in that – we take it physically and we don’t go within and take its inner meaning. I surrendered this, I surrendered that, ‘I’ – so ego is still there. When he feels he has fully surrendered, the ‘I’ still exists both in ‘arpan’ (to offer) and ‘samarpan’ (complete surrender). In the Himalayas this means to surrender the ‘I’ itself. This means becoming one with nature, with the medium, absorbing His nature, His knowledge. You have to cross two bodies – that of the sadhak and that of the medium. When the sadhak goes beyond the body, then both the sadhak’s Guru and the sadhak come together, this is why we are attracted to enshrined Guru’s of the past. Oneness is that bridge which helps you to cross to the other side, the body is in the form of a bridge, you use the bridge of the body of the medium to reach Paramatma. Everything depends on whether you believe or not. The Narmada water is flowing in the Narmada and that same pure water also reaches your house. Its form is different in the river and it is different when it comes to your house through the tap; in between there are pipes of different sizes, before it reaches your house in a half inch pipe. That river has used the medium of the pipes to reach your house – but the water in the river and in your house is the same through its inner form. If you focus on the inner form, then the form will not have any importance and you won’t pay attention to the form. Similarly, Paramatma too, tries to reach you according to your state through different mediums. In the present time He will try to reach you in a form of the modern times. If Narmada comes to your house in that form then you will say it’s a flood and you will not be able to take it. What I am trying to say is that you have been getting it for the last 20 years equally. Nature gives equally, when my life can change with one spiritual experience then why not yours. When I ask you to establish oneness – you take the external (physical) meaning – I have grown a beard like Swamiji, I wear clothes like Swamiji, I also imitate Swamiji’s talking style – this oneness is physical. By oneness I mean establishing a connect with that pure soul which is within, so that that souls purity, oneness, holiness should start entering into you. Whenever you come in proximity of the medium, try to look beyond the body, what soul is there in this body which is connected to that soul and the soul that is connected to the body. There are millions of them – try to experience that soul – establish oneness with that soul (from soul to soul). If this happens then the mediums knowledge, accomplishments will start entering you.

During this Deep Meditation Anushthan I have examined all of you very deeply – I have noticed shortcomings in your life – why you are not progressing, what are the obstacles. Whatever happiness I have obtained, I have not kept it with myself, I have distributed it equally/uniformly amongst you, because that is nature. I was in a good state - you too were experiencing that solitariness, peace. I will tell you what the problem is by means of an example. A relative of mine worked in a different village from where he stayed – he used to get to office quietly and then in the evening go home. He got transferred to Mumbai – he changed completely in three years – he started running as his life became a race. Your state is similar to his – you keep running based on the company you keep. Each person has an aura and when it connects to another aura - that has an effect on you. You don’t give time to your soul - you need to connect with your soul. Give time to your soul. I got the idea of staying in a cottage. I have always wished that whatever good I have obtained in life, the same should also be obtained by you. I wish that the kind of ‘seclusion’ I obtained during this Deep Meditation Anushthan should also be obtained by you during the next Deep Meditation Anushthan. The first experience is that for spiritual peace it is necessary for the body to have a peaceful secluded environment. For one, our ‘tongue’ gets rest as one has to eat whatever is placed before you. If you do this for 45 days then the tongue’s greediness for food will come to an end. Secondly, the energy which would be wasted by talking during these 45 days will be saved when you are in ‘silence’ for 45 days. If you use this energy for your spiritual progress then you will progress spiritually. Just as a gardener leaves a gap between two saplings while planting them so that both of them should grow nicely, similarly for a human to progress spiritually it is necessary for every human to spend some time in ‘solitude’, spend some time with one’s Soul, as by doing this your relationship with your Soul will be strengthened. This time I felt that when we go to sleep our aura becomes more sensitive, and if at that time you are in seclusion then its ability to absorb energy increases manifold. But no other human should be around you for that to happen. This must be the reason why Saints and Sages used to go to the jungle looking for an ‘uninhabited’ place to stay and used to make spiritual progress. I have benefited greatly by this 45 days time period to maintain my spiritual state, after coming to this crowded society from the pure and uninhabited Himalayas. It is my wish that you too should benefit by this, for which some ‘secluded cottages’ will be created. Such ‘secluded cottages’ may be built in each Ashram and whichever sadhak wants to stay in them may do so.  If this happens, then during these 45 days you will realise that you are a Soul. Once you realise who you are, then you will also know me; but first it is necessary to know yourself.

I imagine a ‘cottage’ in which you will be able to stay alone; there is a garden around it where you can walk around, a box near the main door in which you get two meals a day. You do not have a phone or any other gadget, you are completely cut off from the entire world – you are there and your Soul is there, that’s all – outside your garden there is a 12 foot high metal barrier because of which you cannot see anyone nor can anyone can see you. You have a lot of time on your hands, and only your thoughts. No one else’s thoughts are reaching you from other environments, and there is no sound either. Sleep is very important. You establish that state in sleep, where your aura develops and spreads, the condition is that for 20-25 feet there should be nobody around you. When you stay in such a place alone then you start connecting to your soul. In olden days the palaces had bedrooms which were thirty feet long – so when the aura spreads there is no one close by. If you stay like this then you will connect with your soul – then things which you have not even thought of will happen through you – your soul will make you do it – whatever you need, the soul will introspect on it.

How this will happen practically let the Trustees decide. I wrote such long messages during this Anushthan, at the same time the Himalaya ka Samarpan Yoga is going on, the Divine Idol work is going on – everything is going on simultaneously because the soul has become creative. The saints and sages stay in uninhabited places to become one with their soul. My wish is that you too should become one with your soul – for this, such cottages should be made. You will become so sensitive that trees, flowers will start talking to you. This is an experiment. I keep thinking on how I should ensure your development – you don’t have time for yourself, you give time to everyone except yourself. We are forgetting that owner in whose house we stay. It is necessary to go close to the ‘Shivaroopi’ soul. The brilliance hidden within you needs to come out. When you try this, your body will object, you will bang your head for three-four days and after that things will change. Once you manage to pass the body’s test, then the brain will come into play, it will say this is not your cup of tea, you have the habit of using your mobile, so your hand will go to your ear even though you don’t have a phone in your hand – but after staying alone for 45 days you will not feel like coming out.

Today was a very strange day, I wrote to Rambhai saying that I don’t know whether I will be able to come out or not – there were three bodies having an equal state – and I did not know where to come down to. If I had come down and gone into any of the Divine Idols it would have been considered death, but I did come to the right body. There is no friend greater than your own soul once you reach this state in 45 days. So a secluded cottage or a sanctum should be created. 

We go to different environments and the aura gets influenced, for the last 3 years I was planning ayurvedic oil mixtures to purify the aura. I have a plan for an Ayurvedic Hospital. In this we will use it for cleansing your thoughts, your aura, nothing is wrong with the body (like a car) – put your body in the garage so that your receiving improves in such an Ayurvedic Hospital. Plan for two Guru Shakti Dhams should start – first at Dandi and the next at Kutch where the land has been legally transferred to the Trust. The work will start this year. Do not support by looking at the place – your support should be there in every Guru Shakti Dham.

Next project is the Samadhi Sthal or Place of Enshrinement. Due to global warming the sea levels are going to rise in future, and this Dandi Ashram and its surrounding areas will go under water. Hence, to ensure that this would not happen, the Guru Energies wanted the medium’s ‘Samadhi’ to be built in Dandi so that this area would be safe from nature’s fury for at least 800 years. Secondly, if there was a live Samadhi in Dandi, then the entire area of South Gujarat would have come under the influence of the Samadhi and the youth in the entire area of South Gujarat would have got a new spiritual energy and inspiration. And a pure place would have been created in South Gujarat where people from all over the world would come to obtain inner knowledge and inner peace. Then today for people all over the world this Dandi Ashram would have been a place of faith, people from all over the world would have come and the commerce and trade in ‘Navsari’ would have increased. But now all this is not possible. The Samadhi should be in collectivity – this is going to be the powerhouse powering the 8 Divine Idols. The past of Samarpan is over and the future starts. The body will not be able to work – work will happen when the state is good, improve your state, your inner feeling, establish a connection with that medium.

There are two ends to life – life and death – i.e. taking birth and dying. This is a rule of ‘nature’, and this rule is applicable uniformly to everyone. This very rule is also applicable to the ‘Satguru’. To go beyond the body during the life of the Satguru and then come back to the body, this process is a part of His ‘spiritual practice’. Every atom and particle of the body gets used to this process of leaving and re-entering the body. The body on which there is absolutely no control of the body and for years together the ‘Soul’ only has control, then every particle of this body is influenced by its will-power. Have you ever thought what could be the reason you feel good and happy when you go near a Samadhi? Because in that Samadhi a body which was connected to lakhs (millions) of souls during His life-time and lakhs (millions) of souls were connected to Him is kept there; for this reason a collective energy is connected with that body.

Now we will try to understand this subject in greater detail. The body is perishable – after keeping the body in the ‘Samadhi’ the body must be melting and getting destroyed. That is correct – in the ‘Samadhi’ the body’s flesh and the body are destroyed after some time. But the ‘bones’ which are inside the body will always be present, and it is the effect of the Divine Energy from these ‘bones’ which can be experienced for years together, for several miles in the surrounding atmosphere. In my childhood, I had heard a story about  Shree Dadhichi Rishi (sage) out of whose ‘bones’ Lord Indra (leader of the Gods and the Lord of heaven in the Hindu religion, who wields a weapon known as the ‘Vajra’) had prepared the ‘Vajra’ (a lightening thunderbolt), and to make the ‘Vajra’ he had sacrificed his life. Meaning, those ‘bones’ had so much strength that they could kill the demons; and he could perform all this only because of his life-long penance; and with the ‘Vajra’ made of those bones he had killed the demons. Thus it is known from ancient times, that based on how man has lived his life, the influence through the medium of it’s ‘bones’ is preserved after he is enshrined. This is the reason why, when we go to Shree Ramana Maharishi’s Ashram in Arunachalam, we go into deep meditation; when we go near the ‘Samadhi’ of Shree Saibaba in Shirdi we go into deep meditation; thus the collectivity which the Satguru had preserved during His life-time, the same Divine Energy of that collectivity is experienced near the ‘Samadhi’ of the ‘entombed Satguru’. Not just around the Samadhi, the Divine Energy from the Samadhi keeps flowing in the entire surrounding area. We do not know anything about the Divine Energy flowing from the ‘bones’ now, but this is an incident related to my spiritual practice. The mother of a baby elephant had died, and the baby after growing up would still go to the place where its mother’s bones were kept every year, by recognising its mother’s energy. This shows that elephants have knowledge of the energy emanating from bones. The difference between an ordinary person and a Satguru is only of living – an ordinary person lives with his body and the ‘Satguru’ lives with His soul; and this is the difference which bestows uniqueness to the Satguru’s ‘Samadhi’; and that is the reason why a Satguru’s Samadhi is prepared, so that even after a Satguru is entombed, His collective Divine Energy is preserved. And He can continue to give guidance to many future generations who come in the proximity of that ‘Samadhi’, so that even an ordinary person will be able to experience peace and happiness. The Divine Energy flowing from the ‘Samadhi’ of the Satguru-like medium has been connected to the inner form of the Divine Idols. The energy of collectivity will be spread all over the world by making all these Divine Idols the mediums. Whatever happens in future will happen through your inner feeling – it has now gone to the process of inner feeling – whether there will be another anushthan or Divine Idol depends on your inner feelings. I thought my life was limited to doing this – I divided my life into 8 Divine Idols. I had told this to a sculptor eight years ago. I remember when the (first) Anushthan had started and we had called a sculptor from ‘Mumbai’. And when this sculptor came here and found that he had to sculpt the image of a living Guru, he had taken out (a photo) of his Guru’s image and while showing it had said – I had made my Guru’s idol on the instructions of my Guru and then my Guru consecrated the idol with ‘life-force energy’ and ‘gave up his life’. He said he does not want to repeat that mistake, the ‘medium’ explained to him that it is a pledge for 8 idols – till the eighth idol no such ‘accident’ can take place. And he did not agree and returned to Mumbai; meaning, we realised that the work of ‘consecrating life-force energy’ is really very ‘difficult’.

The Jain Guru helped me a lot today – reminded me of my pledge to Him of doing this work. The Guru’s sphere is not very clear but as we move ahead things start becoming clearer. One message for Jain Munis is hidden within me – you have to go to Jain Munis – I go and give programmes for Jain Munis. I don’t know what the message is – I just go and give programmes. There are 65 Munis from different sects – the pledge is to work as one because this is the need of the future. This work cannot be performed by one Muni, because then it will be considered to be of ‘that sect’ hence you have been selected. You are a Jain but not a Jain as you are awakened. You are authorised to work on the ‘sects’. When you go to hilly regions there are two types of people – highlanders and plains folk. The Jain Munis know only two languages – those who are meditating in a pollution free environment (the 65 munis) and the others who are in society who have polluted thoughts – our wish is that all sects should work as one for the need of tomorrow – it is the need of the future. They have given me this work and got me to come back. They have asked me to meet the heads of different sects and that all should meditate together. You have the spiritual experience- this can help connect all the sects – you go ahead and hence the year 2015 is declared as ‘Jain Ekta Varsh” (Year of Jain Unity) – this is my Guru Dakshina to my Jain Gurus. All the plans have been completed but today we have to introspect, are we in a state to do this? I had conducted a good shibir at Ramakrishna Mission, I told the Head of the mission I need to improve, you saw the programme so please guide me, what changes need to be done. In the Deep Meditation Anushthan I prayed to the Gurus Energies, with your grace 8 Anushthans have been completed, the work has gone global, please tell me what faults are there in this work – guide me as to my areas of improvement. The Guru Energies gave me guidance stating that you need to be clear in your behaviour – you have become a mother to your sadhaks as you do not see their faults and keep overlooking them. You need to become a Guru – as a mother you expect your son to improve, expecting him to improve today or tomorrow. In this Deep Meditation Anushthan I have given everyone a clear message. 20 years is a long time span – the sooner you understand your faults the faster you will progress. A message has been give to every sadhak, that is a pointer, examine for yourself.

There has been a big wastage of energy – there are 11 Guru Energies present in this chariot, I am the charioteer, the horses are the Trustees, behind them are the Pramukh Acharyas and Acharyas, etc. Two horses are trying to run and the others are not – five are attracting all negative attention. In the Deep Meditation Anushthan you are giving energy to all the horses equally, but only two are running and the weight of the other five comes on the two, thus these two also cannot perform. They should realise that they are getting energy, if they cannot work then they should resign. I have never got a team in the last fifteen years where each team has worked together. The Trustees selected were good but they stayed at home because of negative attention. Do your work properly or resign – I am resigning as I cannot work. So the amount of energy I have given that has been wasted – when there is a hole in the main line how will the team function? Those people who are working cannot function because they are bearing an extra load. Be honest and credible. I am telling you very clearly – this is my fault – if anyone has felt this then this message is for them from the Guru Energies – try to change and improve : offer, surrender and be in harmony.

The Saurashtra Sadhaks had come up with a 10% Pledge Plan. Only by reducing expenditure will we be able to apply our income to our development work. While developing the Ashrams I had tried not to leave the construction of buildings for the next generation but to leave the land, because the development work is definitely going to increase manifold after me, and land is necessary for development work. Now the land acquisition work has been completed. Now, very soon, the work of construction of the ‘Shree Guru Shakti Dham’ is going to commence. Also other development work is going to start and a steady ‘income’ will be required for this. Keeping all these matters in mind, the sadhaks/sadhikas from ‘Saurashtra’ have brought forward a proposed plan by which a fixed amount could be collected every year. And based on the definitiveness of this income the kind of work which will be completed can also be decided. The outline of this ‘plan’ is as follows:

The name of this plan is ‘10% Pledge Plan’. In this plan, the main feeling is that the earth is round, and whatever you give will come back to you manifold. Hence you give ‘liberation’ (moksha) to others so that you obtain ‘liberation’ (moksha) during your life-time. My personal experience is that ‘liberation’ (moksha) is that state of meditation which you can obtain only by sharing with others. Now the question is how the sadhaks will share this state with others – the answer to that is – by creating the ‘Moksha Dham’ (House of Liberation).  Now the Shree Guru Shakti Dhams which are going to be constructed will prove to be ‘Moksha Dham’ for the next 800 years, for those souls who seek liberation. For obtaining liberation it is necessary to obtain self-realisation. Now the work of bestowing ‘self-realisation’ will be carried out through the medium of the Divine Idols, because these Divine Idols have been created with an active ‘pledge’. When these Idols were being consecrated with life-force energy, a pledge has been made that these Idols will carry out the holy work of bestowing ‘spiritual experience’ for the next 800 years. This is the progress of the Guru Energies – a ‘living medium’ has made them (Divine Idols) ‘alive’ and completed the objective of His life.

By participating in this plan, a sadhak or sadhika will surrender his/her entire income for Guru-karya at the Feet of Gurudev and will receive 90% of the income in the form of ‘blessings’ (Prasad) for himself/herself from the surrendered income. He/she will maintain his/her life from that, and will apply 10% of his/her income every year for Guru-karya. The sadhak or sadhika who participates in this plan will be called ‘Dasha Banda Dhari’. If you are a businessman, trader, professional – write on a piece of paper your pledge and place it in front of the subtle body photo and then see the results. Once you connect you will see the result in your business. You will reap as you sow; you just make a commitment – specially those who have lost or are losing money in their business) just make a pledge and you will see the difference. Connect your business with the Guru Shakti Dham and your life will change – do this inner feeling (bhav) – write a chit and place it near the subtle body photo. This ‘Dasha Banda Dhari Plan’ is being started from 1^st April 2014. If you so desire you can participate in this plan and contribute towards the construction of the Shree Guru Shakti Dham. In the future, Shree Guru Shakti Dham is going to become a global university of spiritual experience. In the coming 800 years, lakhs (millions) of souls are going to come to this global university and through their experience are going to be educated on obtaining inner knowledge.

With donation there should be no ego. Now whatever you donate should be done by sacrificing the ego of ‘I’. Do it for the satisfaction of your soul, do it for strengthening your soul, do it for your own ‘spiritual progress’, because your soul is going to obtain ‘complete satisfaction’ with this donation. This is  because your money is going to be applied for creating such a pure place, that in the future, lakhs (millions) of souls are going to obtain inner experience from this place; and in this world, no donation is greater than the donation of inner knowledge. Donation with your body takes you to a Guru but does not give you spiritual experience. Do this with your soul – there will be no reminders – do it yourself with feeling, establish oneness with the Guru Shakti Dham which is going to perform work for the next 800 years.

You should thank Guruma for bringing the flying kite back to the body. The state inside is such that the moment you cross the fence you go into a trance. She did all the work – cleaning the room, washing the clothes, cooking, etc. – it was her test – she also pleaded with the Trustees asking them to attend the Court – she had to plead – she was working inside as well as outside. My heartfelt thanks to her for doing all this, thanks to those Jain Gurus for getting me out of Samadhi and for giving me new Guru Karya – hence I had named my successors, I was not sure I was going to come back. You reach the peak which is so beautiful that you do not remember anything, you become zero, no need to come down – it is very difficult to come down from this state. This was the last Divine Idol, there was no need to come back, come down – in this state the Jain Munis gave me new direction, a new path, now great work will take place in this field. Thanks to them. Thanks to the sadhaks for your support, you have come during the last Anushthan – you get the divine blessings.

Now in future the work will happen with a feeling of brotherhood and oneness, not with the body. Change is coming – I will give you an example. I started with Guruma and now this has gone to two lakhs. Next I will be conducting a 8 day shibir with two Jain Munis – now the journey has started, they are coming to me and I am going towards them. Everyone is the same – you show your thirst – it could then become a one to one shibir. Now shibirs will be with the soul – from soul to soul – not with the body. Nobody puts oil in a broken lamp. Make yourself capable for such shibirs. The closer you are to your soul – it depends on that. My life’s past period is over and the future period has started. Inner feeling has great importance – the greater you awaken it within, that much more you will know the Shiva within. On such a pure day as Mahashivaratri, if you become one, you will go close to that soul which is Shiva-like, you do not need anyone, your soul will become your friend, your Guru, your companion. If this happens then all the differences of country, state, caste, religion, colour, gender, etc will end and you will help in creating a country which will rise above all. Our Gurus plan is for the world, so if we think on a global level, then the world will progress that much. I have cleared this today as message of the Guru Energies – May all these 8 Anushthans become the pillars on which your spiritual temple stands, with this wish, my Salutations to you all.

With the end of Pujya Swamiji’s discourse, from 9am onwards Pujya Swamiji performed a figure of eight on a Chariot pulled by sadhaks to the background of bhajans being sung by Rambhai and others. During the rath yatra – a remote controlled flying robot was used to telecast the rath yatra for the first time (like in the 3 Idiots movie). Pujya Swamiji went around energizing the entire gathering with his hands – a truly divine experience. After that we stood in line for offering obeisance and namaskars during the ‘paduka naman’ ceremony and then we all left for collecting our Prasad. With around 15000 people present there was a huge line, but no disturbance, and the distribution of Prasad took place smoothly. We took our Prasad and left the Ashram at around 10.30am. As we were leaving the ground I voiced a thought that we should give a lift to sadhaks who were walking as we had 3 spare seats in the car. We asked sadhaks on the way twice and both of them said they were headed for the sea and thanks, but just as went a little further there were four ladies who wanted a lift. We accommodated them with, Pawan curling himself up along with the bags and Malav taking the rear seat. We dropped them off at the main road and then left for Mumbai. We reached Mumbai at around 3.30pm. On the return journey Pawanji and Malavji joined me and Kajalji with Trupti going with Ramnath.

Thanks to Pujya Swamiji for such a wonderful and divine experience. Thanks to all the organizers and all those who participated in making this event a great success. Everybody who attended left with a glow on their face – as Ruchitaji mentioned so aptly – ‘with a Swamiji facial’.

Jai Baba Swami
