MAHASHIVRATRI – 2016
7th March,
2016 – Samarpan Ashram, Dandi
This year too there were last minute hiccups before
departing for Mahashivratri festival. Three sadhaks dropped out and three new
came in as last minute replacements. This time I left home at 6 in the morning
on Sunday 6th March, picked up Mallika Ghai, Revathi Venkateshvaran
and Peeyush Shivananda (a new sadhak) from Andheri East, then at around 6.30am
picked up Deepali Gokhale from Borivali East on the highway. I had a meeting at
Yoga Prabha Bhavan at 11am hence the early departure. We had sumptuous
breakfast at Datta Wada House at around 7.30am. We reached Yoga Prabha Bhavan
at 10.30am. I parked my car and went to A1 Bungalows to Mr. Sundeep Sharma’s
residence and joined Pratapbhai and family for some light snacks. In the
meanwhile Ramaniji came with the international sadhaks and I spent some time
chatting with them. We got a message to come to Yoga Prabha Bhavan for the
meeting and then left at 11.15 for the meeting. Mr. Sundeep Sharma’s driver
dropped the sadhaks who had accompanied me from Mumbai to the Ashram and
returned.
We left for the Ashram at 4.15pm and immediately had to go
for another meeting. The thing that literally struck you was the festival
atmosphere as one entered the Ashram – it was like a complete mela had been set up. The Ashram was
buzzing with activity with a total festive atmosphere – there was high energy
and a joyous spirit energized the entire atmosphere. After the meeting we had a
quiet meditation and tried to reconnect with my fellow sadhaks who had been
dropped to the Ashram in the morning. By
the time we finished bhojan Prasad it was 7.30pm. We got in touch with Deepali
and Revathi and Peeyush. They were all panicking as Mallika seemed to have
disappeared. Knowing her we thought she was in a trance in some place. Peeyush
was desperate and poor guy kept running all over trying to locate her. Even I
took one complete round of the Ashram and did not locate her. I decided to
leave for the Hotel around 8.30pm. As Mr. Sundeep Sharma was with us I told him
to take Mallika’s bag and deliver it to Rupambhai’s bungalow in A1 as Mallika
was originally supposed to stay there. When we reached the Hotel we got a call
from Mallika saying that she had left the Ashram at 6pm and was staying at
Naimishaji’s house. My intuition of sending her bag to A1 proved correct as she
at least now had her belongings with her!!
We checked into Hotel Regency at around 9.30pm and
immediately went to sleep. Peeyush was keen on watching the Asia Cup Cricket
final, so I just muted the volume and went to sleep. I woke up at 3.15am and
freshened up. The plan was to leave by 4am, but by the time we checked out it
was already 4.40am though both Peeyush and I were ready by 4.15am. Even the
ladies were ready. Ramnath said, ‘call for breakfast as it comes immediately’.
We called for poha and tea. This year the hotel did not keep complimentary
breakfast which they had done till last year – cost cutting maybe.

| 23000 sadhaks present at the ground on this holy occasion |
We left the
hotel at 4.40am and reached the Ashram at exactly 5.25am after waiting behind a
long line of vehicles going to the Ashram. After that we had to stand in a
serpentine queue to get to the ground. Guru Ahavan took place while we were in
queue, and we maybe missed ten minutes of the meditation. It was 5.40am by the
time we got our place to sit for meditation. The crescent moon of Lord Shiva was beautiful in the dawn sky with Venus glowing brightly just below it.We were subsequently informed that
there were close to 23000 people who attended the event.

The meditation was intense as there was high energy, one
could feel the energy as it coursed through the body sending cold tingling
waves up the spine. There was a lot of coughing and movement up and down which
is not really conducive for good meditation. But I guess I too was at fault as
I did not make it within the 5.30am deadline! Even then one could feel the high
energy levels! The meditation ended at 6am.
At 6am Rambhai announced that Anuragji and Ambareeshji will
felicitate the Jain monks who participated in the Anushthan. Anuragji
felicitated Tarachand Muniji, Prashant Muniji, Samarpan Muniji and Malaisagar
Muniji. Ambareeshji then felicitated Ratnakarsagar Muniji, Lokesh Muniji and
Lalitesh Muniji. Thereafter Umedbhai Tandel, the President of the organising
Committee for the Anushthan felicitated Vasudev Muni (Jungli Maharaj Math,
Shirdi). Ramdas Baba (Ahmedabad), Keshav Bhagat (Jamnagar), Prem Hari
(Mateshwar Ashram, Surat), Sunil Namdev (Akhil Bhartiya Samarpan Sanstha Trust)
and finally Abbasaheb Vashi.
At 6.10am Pujya Guruma arrived to the blowing of conches and
took Her seat. As Rambhai announced Her arrival waves of consciousness started
flowing with each and every word, I was literally awash with cold divine energy
which was accompanied by a beautiful fragrance which appeared unearthly – I
actually could not place the fragrance! Pujya Guruma then inaugurated two
Samarpan offerings – Atma Prerna (Makarsankranti CD of Pujya Guruma’s
discourse) and Life Management (Swamiji’s 6 Anushthan Messages) in the form of
a book in four languages – Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi and English. Guruma then
spoke a few words on the book Life Management and explained briefly why we
should keep a copy.

| Swamiji's Discourse |
At 6.30am His Holiness Swamiji’s arrival was announced to
the sound of conches as a feeling of great expectations, love and joy spread
through the atmosphere. The atmosphere was very pleasant – not too cold and not
too warm before Swamiji arrived. After Swamiji took His seat, Guru Ahavan
(invocation to the Guru Energies) was chanted (my crown chakra was throbbing
with energy) and then Rambhai requested His Holiness to deliver his nectar
filled discourse. By this time waves of cold consciousness had started flowing
over the entire ground. We were awash with the energy, as the temperature kept
going down and we were enveloped in a nice cocoon of cold, loving, divine
energy.
Swamiji: Welcome
to all pious souls! Today, on the occasion of the holy festival of
Mahashivratri all of us pure and pious souls with pure and pious feelings have
gathered together over here. Today is Monday – Monday is a very pure day, it is
also the occasion of the festival of Mahashivratri and also the concluding day
of the 10th Deep Meditation Practicum – a union of all three is
taking place and you are dipping and bathing in that consciousness and divine
energy. This Mangal Murti (Auspicious Idol) has a special importance – this
Auspicious Idol is the one during which the work for a permanent Guru Shakti
Dham has started in Dandi which indicates that we are moving towards stability.
Now leave impermanence and move towards stability, receive and absorb. First,
if you think you have come by yourself – actually you have not come you have
been called; your body goes where it gets some facilities, entertainment –
there is no such attraction here, to come here you have come from different
villages, states and countries only because you have control over your body. An
ordinary person lives under the control of the body and not the soul. Here
there is no attraction for the body, means soul has full control over the body
and you can take it where it wants. The soul never has desires – this is the
main difference. If desire is fulfilled then the body is happy, else not.
Desire has connection with the body, feeling (bhaav) has connection with the
soul – the soul is not affected by whether feelings have been fulfilled or not.
You have reached here means you have control over your body.
The Mahashivratri festival has importance – it brings a
pause in your life – introspect, think – today is that day. We keep running, we
sleep while thinking and there is no permanence/stability in life. Today is the
day to stay with your soul in peace, today just remain with your soul. Forget
all your physical feelings, from where you have come, your name, village,
religion, country, male/female, colour, language, etc – forget everything.
Today look at Shiva, the Guru Energies, not with your physical eyes but with
the eyes of your soul – for that you will have to experience that energy with
your inner eyes and ears – take Darshan of Aatmeshwar
(the Soul-God) within for which you have come for from such great
distances. It is necessary to forget your physical feelings for some time, keep
your chitta on the special experience, then you will see that the flow of
energy is resident within you from which you attain all knowledge. All these
are roles from our daily routine – a drama is taking place – Ramu plays the
role of King Virbhadra. He performs it very well, all his village folk praise
him for his role. But Ramu is different and King Virbhadra is different – they
are not the same. But when Ramu dies, people say Ramu’s body is there and pray
for his soul’s peace. What remains is his body. So the question is Ramu’s body
is not Ramu nor is it the soul – then who is Ramu? The body and the soul make
up ‘Ramu’ – so Ramu is a role which he plays. Separate yourself from Ramu and
see! You have come to play your role, play your role – I am playing my role,
but what is there is impermanent. Ramu’s soul is permanent, Ramu is
impermanent. What is permanent is the soul. How much time we give to our soul
is the subject of introspection. How much time we give in 24 hours!
The body is important, it is valuable, because you get inner
knowledge through the body – you can find your path from that. The body is
necessary to reach Paramatma from different paths, religions. You will have the
wrong notion that you have reached Paramatma. If you just start climbing step
by step then religion will prove useful. Similarly if you use this body for
sadhana (spiritual practice) then it will take you up or else it could bring
you down. Not doing any karma through the body is very difficult because you do
it with the physical feelings. If you think good then you save energy and if
you have bad thoughts then you expend energy. With both good and bad karma you
have to take re-birth – the karmic cycle never stops, hence it is necessary to have
inner knowledge, self-realisation for you to become free from the karmic cycle.
The biggest event of life is self-realisation. For self-realisation you need to
perform penance, spiritual practise for births together! You attain
self-realisation because of the punya
(good) karmas of your past births, but if you do not get good proximity, then
you do not know that you have got self-realisation in the past birth. Because
of the good karmas of your past birth you do not know what you have got. Those
souls get self-realisation who have done a lot of penance, spiritual practise,
taken efforts and have a great desire – they get it.
They know because of the
amount of penance, spiritual practise, efforts and great desire that they have
got self-realisation and then attain that state which is called moksha (liberation). These are all
turning points – there is nothing left to attain after self-realisation and nor
can you get anything greater (than that). Even then, after this too, you will
have to perform your own spiritual practice. It is important to realise this.
In my life self-realisation had a different importance. Paramatma is invincible
– He was there yesterday, exists today and will exist tomorrow – I knew this
from birth. Paramatma is no human, it has no form – it is universal
consciousness, it was there yesterday, it is there today and it will be present
tomorrow. No (physical) body can be like this. There must be some medium of
Paramatma who will be able to take one into a state of void. The body is there,
but does realise that if any medium becomes a void, then such a medium can make
you experience this universal consciousness, this divine energy; with that
feeling I reached that place which was not limited by space, time, religion,
border, language. I just wanted water to quench the thirst – the water could
come from anywhere – a lake, a river, a stream, a waterfall, the sea, etc. I
just had an urge, a thirst of the soul within me and then I got Shiv Baba in my
life. Break all those boundaries and then a person like Shiv Baba will come in
your life. Even while knowing that he was an ordinary person I accepted him as
Paramatma, I selected him as Paramatma and then he became Paramatma for me. The
highest feeling, the ultimate feeling is to attain Paramatma, our birth has
taken place just for that. We keep searching all over, the search for Paramatma
ends with self-realisation. A peace envelops you after the experience of
self-realisation. After that the chitta which is running all over looking for
Paramatma – all that stops and then it turns inwards, and goes deeper and
deeper within. And then I experienced Paramatma within. He is seated within
you, it is necessary for you to take your chitta inwards. It is not easy, we
need a medium to take us within – a medium who has already done that.
Then when
such a medium comes into our life, it becomes possible. It doesn’t start till
such a medium comes into our life. After he comes, then the internal experience
starts.
Imagine that you are in a train at Vapi, you will meet
people going to Mumbai, as Mumbai has attractions, lots of people, no one comes
to Dandi which is a small village. You get attracted by a crowd and go to
Mumbai, your efforts are good but your direction is wrong. Stop at Vapi and
think about where you have to go. Introspect – who am I? From where have I
come? Where am I headed? What is the purpose of my life? – introspect – there
is no hurry! It is better not to start the run if you do not know the
direction. After deciding the direction you will realise that I wanted to go to
Dandi, good I stopped and did not go to Mumbai. Then you will move towards
Dandi. So you will also have to meet with public acceptance of this – your
relatives, friends, companions will all oppose you. What difference are you
making? Everybody thinks that it is their job. You have attained a thoughtless
state and are staying in such a state – you have become different from society.
All of society, friends, and relatives stay under the control of the body.
Their life is under the body’s control – if you have given importance to the
soul and to feelings, then you have become different from society, relatives,
and friends and you are also doing different. In society people have wrong
notions about meditation – they think that meditation means becoming an
ascetic, going to the jungle,
sacrificing everything and going into seclusion – this is what people
understand. In society this is what meditation means! It is very strange that
those who have reached a very high state in meditation, a void, he has become
different from society and hence the route to the Himalayas is one way traffic
– there is a path to go there but no return path. Whichever Rishi, Monk goes
there, he goes so deep that he never returns to society. They destroy all the
routes, paths as they do not want to return. When they leave society and attain
finality, the state of void, they do not return to society, and hence society
thinks that meditation means leaving society, sacrificing society and going
into uninhabited places.
In the Himalayas people are in such place of which you
cannot even imagine. They reach there because there is no safer place than the
Himalayas. An aura of saints already exists there; once you reach there you
automatically get that state. But to reach there you need to be in a good
state. All monks have secured their sphere of influence with their aura and
hence no person can go enter there without their permission. This happened for
years – this opposition is there because society has seen this for years. One
will have to get out of this perspective, this pure work to change this
perspective was done by Shiv Baba by sending a medium into society to give
self-realisation. With that noble and pure objective, all saints, ascetics,
monks, rishis have given their support so that this medium goes into society to
help millions attain self-realisation. Looking at this every
ascetic/rishi/saint has helped. Hence all rishis/saints/monks said that your
vessel is very large. By vessel they mean your medium, millions of souls are
going to get self-realisation through you. Each rishi/monk had the desire but
nobody could do it. With their desire not to allow people to come inside their
aura it was not possible – hence they supported the medium. After
self-realisation I reached permanence, a state of finality, a void state that I
have attained Paramatma. The ultimate state – when you realise this, your inner
journey will begin. When you start the inner journey, all the relatives,
friends will oppose you, so maintain secrecy for some time. When someone puts a
stamp on you like creating tattoos on the body – self-realisation is not like
that, it is not something to be displayed. If you do not tell anybody, no one
will know. When you start displaying and talking, you are telling people who
oppose you, people who think you are talking about something which is not there
in society – thoughts are attacking them, they cannot stop the thoughts, and
you are talking about thoughtlessness to such people! It is like talking about
laddoos (an Indian sweet) to a hungry person. If you tell such people then
their negative chitta will come on you. Whatever you say, their negative
attention will not let you progress. Your soul will get self-realisation, not
your body – that soul has got it which did penance, spiritual practice and had
the desire for it in the last birth. Why should one exhibit it? Do not display
– everything should be natural, normal, you have got Brahmagyan (inner knowledge) – keep it to yourself.
With the help of that experience go deeper and deeper
within. When your root chakra becomes pure, then you will become strong,
stable. When the sacral chakra becomes pure, then you will remain thoughtless,
wherever you are. You will not be affected wherever you are – you will in fact
affect the others who are in and around you. When the navel (nabhi) chakra
becomes develops then you will get the feeling of distributing to others
whatever you have received – when this happens then naturally that effect will
be good, you will not have any bad effect. When you have progressed/developed
till the nabhi chakra then this feeling comes from within, it comes out from
within you naturally, there is no physical role; but when it is not coming
naturally when your three chakras are not developed, then its effect falls on
you and then you feel bad as you are explaining at the physical level. Do not
propagate physically, strengthen your state first before doing any prachar (propagation/promotion). You are
propagating physically then the centre (meditation) will not develop. This is
the sphere of the soul, you are doing things physically, how much effort I am
putting – the expectation creates impurity. Stay thoughtless for half an hour
for that Paramatma who has given you 24 hours in a day. You should not sleep if
you do not give that half an hour. You are investing half an hour which will
come to your aid in your final moments. When you do the inner journey, your
soul becomes strong. They are so surprised, today it is 22 years since we
started – it has taken 22 years to reach this state. We are present in so many
countries – during the Anushthan I knew where all it (Anushthan) was taking
place. I have done good work always; that work gives the soul happiness, and
the soul kept becoming stronger and stronger and I did all this selflessly.
This is not my sphere – give a diamond to every person –
whether the person preserves the diamond or not, my work in either case is
done. Self-realisation is that permanent diamond which will stay with you
permanently. Whatever knowledge you get, if you don’t practise it will go. If
doctors do not practice their skill goes – all this is impermanent knowledge,
typing, etc any study is physical. Inner knowledge is permanent, not only it
will be useful in this birth but also in the next. Self-realisation is your mother,
it will never leave you. It does not matter whether you practice or not, it
will be with you. If you practice then the soul will become strong – do it
selflessly by being a soul, then that expectation, greed will not be there –
expectation, greed, etc are physical. The soul is beyond all this. When you do
work with inner spiritual practice then you get a thoughtless state, and after
you get a thoughtless state your energy which gets destroyed by thoughts of the
past and the future stops getting destroyed, it gets accumulated and gets spent
in the work you do. As you practice spirituality you will come into your
natural state. You become like a kid, kids do not lie (bacche mann ke sacche) – children have pure minds as they have
primacy of soul and the nature of the soul is to naturally speak the truth. But
as they grow up, they see their parents and neighbours lying, and they also see
the immediate benefit of lying – they see that and its effect also falls on the
kids. And then they too start lying. The root state of the soul is to be
truthful. As you start inner spiritual practice (atma sadhana), the root nature gets developed. Non-violent drivers
say that they brake automatically when
someone comes in front of the car. Train drivers say that ‘I tried to save the
person on the track’ when a person dies under the train. An inner battle takes
place – the body is not violent nor should your speech be violent. As you go
deeper into the influence of the soul, the quality of the soul develops, -
patience is one, capacity to be patient – there is no effect on your peace of
mind. This is necessary in today’s world. Levels of tolerance have reduced
because the inner feeling has reduced. Nobody has the patience to listen to
anything. As intellect is developing more and more the feelings are also going
down to that extent. The effect of lack of patience affects the pregnant ladies
at the time of delivery. They do not have the patience to go through the labour
pains and they cannot bear the pain and as a consequence they ask the doctors
to operate. One cannot get this level of patience/tolerance suddenly. The
doctors say that we are ready to wait, the patient is not! This cannot come to
you instantly. It is necessary to perform inner spiritual practice, the more
you do it the physical feelings reduce to that extent. Your knees are paining
but you do not realise it because you are under the influence of the soul. All
problems in society exist because of the primacy/importance given to the
feelings of the physical body. If you perform inner spiritual practice your
level of patience/tolerance will grow. Your capacity to receive will increase
with inner spiritual practice as there is far more capacity in the soul to
receive than the body. The greater your capacity to receive the more you will
start receiving all good points. Your nature will become like that of a bee,
which goes on gathering honey – you will gather only good points. This
receiving can only develop your soul. This will not happen in a day, in a
moment.
The karmic cycle too is a big cycle. This question was asked
a lot. What is going to or not going to happen in our lives is pre-decided –
then why meditate, what benefit is there? There are two types of karma: 1)
Those which you have done in this life – without enduring those bad karmas you
cannot get self-realisation. 2) the second is on re-birth – the accumulated
karmas of the past birth have to be faced in your life-time, but if you get a
Guru’s proximity you get a collectivity , I too have faced mine, but I did not
realise when they got extinguished, I stayed in the Guru’s proximity with whom
the collectivity of millions of souls was connected. Each is to be experienced.
Today take the Darshan of that Atmeshwar whose birth has taken place to give
inner knowledge to millions of souls. Look at that souls which is present with
the collectivity of millions of souls. What is the reason for millions of souls
to connect, to experience that medium and get self-realisation – that is nothing
but the Guru’s Grace and Guru’s Compassion. Don’t look at the soul, experience
the soul – the physical eyes are not capable of looking at that, to see you
need to open the inner eye, open the 3rd eye. Once you get the
Darshan, you will see that there is no Guru, no disciple, everything is one,
not me, not you – let us experience that state which is neither me nor you –
just that state of void.
It is very difficult to get out of the karmic cycle of the
body. This birth-death cycle will continue. One way to do is to get in this
state during this Mahashivratri where there is nothing left – accept and seek
forgiveness, forgive yourself too, ask Shiv Baba for forgiveness, forgive
everyone and attain that void and have full faith in Paramatma who is an ocean
of forgiveness. Ask whatever you want, you will get it – do not have any doubt.
Do with full faith – he will forgive you everything. Reach a state which is
free from karma, there is nothing left to achieve. Today the debit and credit
will be in balance. Today everything is nullified. Do not do any good/bad
karmas – do everything in Guru’s name and you won’t do bad karma and good karma
will not accumulate. If you say, ‘I do – I did’ then it is karma. It happens
with the infinite grace of Paramatma. You meditate in your fields; you will see
Paramatma appearing from within you. The positive energy which flows from you,
do it in your fields – the produce will be productive. This is the Farmer’s
Year – we are holding an exhibition. The Guru Energies have given inspiration
to meditate so that a protective shield is created so that no one commits
suicide. Meditate in your fields for its development. This 10th Deep
Meditation Practicum there is no record of all the millions of people – I am
thankful to all from the bottom of my heart. Heartfelt thanks to all those who
supported directly or indirectly in making this Anushthan successful! Heartfelt
thanks to Guruma – she daily entered a place where eyes do not remain open –
she comes for 2 hours and helps. Everything I could need is kept in different
places in glass containers containing food, so that I could nourish myself.
Going up is very easy, coming down is very difficult. One day I had gone very
high, so high that I could not come down. That day I came down suddenly, and
that day there was a thunderstorm with heavy rain.
We will now meditate and bring a permanence which will bring
permanence, the divine energy which I have accumulated during this 45 days Deep
Meditation Practicum I wish to distribute to all sadhaks. Those who are
standing please sit down.
The meditation then commenced under Swamiji’s guidance by
chanting, I am a pure soul, I am a pious soul’ (मै
एक पवित्र आत्मा
हूँ, मै एक
शुद्ध आत्मा हूँ)
thrice. As we went into meditation I clearly say the third eye – the eye of
Shiva and within the eyeball I could see infinite space with a tinge of saffron
and a huge bird circling in the sky (Garuda?!) – going higher and higher till it
disappeared and then all that could be seen was the vast expanse of infinite
space. My whole body was tingling with waves of cold energy. Meditation got
over and Swamiji started speaking and I came out of that zone with great
difficulty with the thought that I had to note down Swamiji’s words for this
blog!
After I came out of that trance this is what Swamiji was
saying: The manner in which a mother makes food – when she prepares food with
love such a mother feels very happy when the children eat the food. My state is
like that of a mother, I am happy that you all have received. Namaskar!!
After that Ramkaka announced that Swamiji would give Darshan
from close as He moved in his chariot pulled by devout sadhaks. Ramkaka then requested
sadhaks not to take photographs and videos of Swamiji. He told the sadhaks to
be patient and remain seated and not to move around. I had shut my notebook and
my eyes as I tried to focus on the subtle rather than the physical. As Swamiji’s
chariot came towards us I kept up my chant silently and bowed in obeisance as
the chariot passed us. As we were sitting in the central section we were thrice
blessed in getting Swamiji’s Darshan. At around 9am Swamiji’s rounds were
completed Rambhai then announced that first Guruma and then Swamiji would leave
the ground.

After they left the namaskar
vidhi commenced to the singing of devotional songs. Khamankarji and I paid
our obeisance and then went to freshen ourselves after which we went and stood
in the line for bhojan prasad. By
10.30am we finished our lunch and I started looking for my fellow passengers. I
found Revathiji, Mallikaji and Peeyush near the registration counter. In the meanwhile
Khamankarji, Kamathji, Mehtaji left in Khamankarji’s car. I told them that we
will catch up at Parsi Dairy Farm at Talasari. They left at 10.45. This time
Deepali was missing – at around 11.15 I went looking for her and found her at
the donation counter doing Guru-karya. I told her that we were leaving and she
then took permission to leave and came with her bag. We left for the car and
when Revathi, Deepali and I reached the car we noticed that both Peeyush and
Mallika who were just behind us had disappeared. I was a bit upset as now it
had crossed 11.30 so I went back looking for them. I found them just leaving
the registration counter and asked them where they disappeared. They said they
went to buy some herbal products. I said ok, let’s go. By the time we left it
was 11.45 and on the way out we were requested to drop a sadhak at Eru circle.
There was heavy traffic on the way out and a big traffic jam at Eru Circle as
barriers had been put up for security reasons. We managed to go past the
barriers rather quickly, then dropped our sadhak companion at the circle and
left for Mumbai. We passed Khamankarji’s car somewhere near Vapi and reached
the Parsi Dairy at around 1.15pm. Khamankarji and group came in about ten
minutes later. We all chatted, relaxed drank lassi and then left for Mumbai. The trip back was rather uneventful
– listening to Osho for some time and chatting for some time. I dropped off
Deepali at Borivali around 2.45pm, then Revathi, Peeyush and Mallikaji at
Andheri at 3.30pm and reached home at exactly 4pm.
All in all this was probably one of the most divine
Mahashivratri festivals with the inner experiences received in His Infinite
Divine Grace being the icing on the cake.
As Swamiji’s discourse was being transcribed live – I may
have missed something and it may not be wholly accurate – but the essence is
definitely there. I apologize from the
bottom of my heart for any inaccuracies which may have crept in.
JAI BABA SWAMI to all!!
