Sagwada se ab Banswara

Sagwada se kareeb 50 km ki duri per Banswara hai. aaj subah subah wahan ke liye nikal pade. Aadhe ghante mein Banswara pahaunch gaye jahan anek bhakton ne darshan laabh liya. Mere ek sadhak jinka naam Pradeep Brahman hai, wahin ke nivasi hain. Pradeep Brahman 7 divasiye Bhagwat katha kar rahe the. Katha ke chalte samay unhone swayam aakar mujhe Sagwada mein katha mein aane ke liye aamantrit kiya. Unki shraddha aur samarpan dekh kar mujhe aaj yahan Banswara aana hee pada. To ab dopahar ko unke dwara ho rahi Bhagwat katha mein jaane ka nischay hai...

Sagwada ka dhyan yog shivir

Sagwada ka dhyan yog shivir picchle saalon ke shivir se aur bhi zaada safalta poorvak aayojit hua. Bhakton ki bheed ka to anumaan lagaana ab maano asambhav hee hai. Teen din dhyan ki gehraayiyon mein kaise beete pata nahi chala. Aaj aakhri divas tha; aaj do mahatvapoorna kaam hue. Pehla, January 2012 ki Vishvguru Ojaswi ka vimochan (inauguration) aur doosra, 2500 se bhi zaada Ojaswi Calendars ka distribution. Vishvguru Ojaswi ka January edition sabko bahut pasand aaya. Mere vimochan karne ke baad stall se bahut bhakton ne ek ek prati khareedi. Saadhakon ka sewa ke prati utsah tab dekhne ko mila jab unhone Sagwada ke aas paas ke gaon - Bada Jeevda, Chhota Jeevda, Vadarved, aur Kanpur mein ghar ghar jaakar free distribution kiya.
Sagwada mein mera bachpan se aana jaana hai. Yahan ke bhakton ke sankalp mujhe aksar yahan kheench laate hain. Kitne hee bhakton ko kitne saalon se yeh aas thi ki mere charan unke ghar pade. Issliye poornahuti ke baad mere sewak mujhe Sagwada ke 8 bhakton ke ghar le gaye. Ek ek bhakt ke ghar mein mera bhavya swagat hua. Sabhi bhakt mujhe apne ghar mein aaye dekh bhaav vibhor ho gaye. Ashtsatvik bhaavon ki shraddhanjali mujhe arpit karne lage. Ek bhakt ne mujhe bataya ki woh aur unka parivar meri picchle 25 saal se raah dekh rahe the. Unka mere prati prem shabdon ki seema se baahar hai. Raat 11 baje tak yahi sab chalta raha. Fir jab 11 baje ke baad apne utaare per jaane ke liye sadak per gaadi mein aaye, tab ek anupam drishya dikha. Poore Sagwada ke raaston per bhakt aarti le kar, diye jalaa kar khade hue the. Har gali, har raaste per, bacche, buudhe, naujavan, behne, aarti kar rahe the. Sagwada ke bhakton ka mere hriday mein ek khaas hee sthan hai.

Victory of good over evil

It was a good news to know that Russian Court rejected all cases on ban on Shrimad Bhagvadgita. When India treats all other religions with respect, it is our right to get respect and regard from other religions as well. Hope that such disregard of our holy scripture does not happen again in future.

Om Peace.

Kushalgarh mein kal mantra diksha ka karyakram...

Dharmo Rakshati Rakshatah

Aaj aisa sunn ne mein aaya ki Britain mein bhi Russia mein Bhagwadgita per lagaye pratibandh ki koshish per aalochana hui. Briatin ke Hindu aur Nepali samudaaye ne wahan ke Russian Ambassador Mr. Vladimirovik ko ek letter likha hai jissmein unhone yeh likha ki "Pavitra Hindu dharmgranth Geeta per pratibandh ke prastav ke baare mein jaankar hume bahut dukh hua hai."

Sadhuvad hai aise dharm rakshakon ko jo vishw ke kone kone se Hindu dharm ke khilaaf badhti hui andhi ko rokne mein tatpar hain.

Dharmo Rakshati Rakshata: jo dharm ki raksha karta hai, dharm uski raksha karta hai.

Shrimad Bhagwadgita

Shrimad Bhagwadgita ko jisne bhi dedication aur shraddha se padha hai….fir chaahe wo Hindu ho, Muslim ho, Parsi ho, Christian ho, ya Sikh ho…usne iss granth se zaada swatantra aur nirbhay banane wala aur koi granth nahi dekha. Yeh keval mere shabd aur bhav nahi hain…yeh vishv ke kayi mahaan vyaktiyon ka ekmat anubhav hai.
Aayiye kuch prassidh vyaktiyon ki bhasha mein unke Shrimad Bhagwadgita per vichaaron ko padhte hain:
Albert Einstein, jo ki modern era ke sabse prasiddh scientist reh chuke hain…wo khud apne dharm se German Jew the. Unhone Bhagwadgita ko padha aur samjha…uske baad unka yeh kehna tha:
“When I read the Bhagavadgita and reflect about how God created this universe everything else seems so superfluous.”
(matlab: jab main Bhagwadgita padhta hu…aur jab yeh sochta hu ki bhagwan ne srishti ka nirman kaise kiya, to sab kuch anavshyak aur nirarthak lagta hai…keval Geeta ka gyan hee satya hai.)
Henry David Thoreau jo ki 19th century ke prassidh American philosopher aur lekhak the, unhone bhi Geeta ka adhyayan kiya…aur unka yeh kehna tha:
“In the morning I bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmogonal philosophy of the Bhagavadgita, in comparison with which our modern world and its literature seem puny and trivial.”
(matlab: Har roz subah main apni mati ko Bhagwadgita ki mahan sarvor mein snan karwata hu. Iss mahan granth ka adhyayan karne ke baad hum iss yug ke manushyon ke dwara rache gaye sahitye bahut hee tuuchh aur sadharan lagte hain.)
Dr. Albert Schweitzer jo ki 20th century ke prassidh German philosopher aur doctor the, unke shadbon mein:
“The Shrimad Bhagwadgita has a profound influence on the spirit of mankind by its devotion to God which is manifested by actions.”
(Bhagvadgita ka manushya-matr per ek gehra asar hai. Yeh hume karma yog ke sahayta se ishwar ki upasna ka marg dikhati hai.)
Canada ke Prime Minister Mr Trudeau ne jab Bhagwadgita padhi to ashcharyachakit ho kar bole:
“Maine kayi dharm granth padhe hain per Shrimad Bhagwadgita granth to adbhut hai. Ismein kisi bhi mat, majhab, panth, sampraday ki ninda stuti nahi hai balki ismein to manushya matr ke vikas ki baat hai. Sharir swastha, mann prassan aur buddhi mein samatva ka, brahmgyan ka prakash jagaane wala granth hai yeh Bhagwadgita.”
Unhone ne Shrimad Bhagwadgita ke vachno ko apne jeevan mein utaarne ke baad kaha…”Gita is not the bible of Hindus, but it is the bible of humanity.”
Ab itne mahan vyaktiyon ke anubhav jhoothe to nahi ho sakte. Fir kaise keh diya Russia ki Tomsk University ne ki “ Bhagwadgita “extremist” granth hai…”isko ban kiya jaaye”?
Russia ko ek secular aur democratic country ke ruup mein jaana jaata hai. Tomsk University ke Orthodox Christians ke iss remark se Russia ke vidwaano ki dayani stithi ka parichay hua hai. Poore vishv ke log Shrimad Bhagwadgita ko aadar se padhte hain, schools, colleges aur Universities mein iska adhyayan karaya jaata hai…Bharat aur anya desho mein iski puja hoti hai…iski jayanti manayi jaati hai…aise aupam aur asamanya dharmgranth ke ansh bhar bhi apmaan ko Bharatwasi nahi sahenge. Hum sabka yeh kartavya hai ki hum Shrimad Bhagwadgita ki mahima ko khud bhi jaane aur doosre desh aur dharm ke logon ko bhi parichit karwayein.

Petlawad ka anupam drishya

Itne dino se lagatar nayi nayi jagah per bina break ke satsang karyakram karte hue bhi utsah, ullaas aur energy level zara bhi kum nahi hai. Aaj aur zaada anand aur prassannata hai. Petlawad pahaunch kar aisa divya drishya dikhega... socha bhi nahi tha. Madhya Pradesh ka ek chhota sa aadivasi kshetra, jahan logon ke paas prema bhakti aur shraddha ka khazaana hai...dekhti hee dil mein khushi ki leher daud gayi.
Mere darshan prapt karke inn sabhi bhakton ki khushi ka thikana hee nahi hai...Baapuji ke ashram mein mera bhavya swagat kiya sabne. Satsang shuru hone tak to laga hua pandal poora bhar gaya. Satsang abhi shuru hee hua tha ki double pandal badhaana pada. Bhakton ki bheed ne pandal fir chhota kar diya...fir se pandal badhayaa gaya...
Satsang ke baad bhandara bhi hua...kitne hee bhakton ne issmein sewa ka yogdan dekar sabhi Petalawad ke shraddhaluon ko kapde, anaaj, bartan aur kambal ka vittaran kiya.
Ab to meri bhi khushi ka thikana nahi hai ...

Kal Ratlam ke paas Sailana ke aadivasi gaon mein satsang hua. Bhakton ka sailab umad pada...bahut samay se satang aur darshan ke pyaase bhakton ka sapna sach hote dekh ek adbhud anubhav hua. Kum suvidhaaon mein jeene wale yeh aadivasi log dil se ameeri ki parakashtha per pahaunche hue prateet hue. Inke dil ke shraddha bhaav aur mere vachano aur darshan ke prati preeti ki to jaise koi seema hee nahi thi...bahut bahut saadhuvaad hai inn sabko.

Satsang ke baad shaam ko Mangalya Mandir gaye...ratri mein mandir ka parisar bahut lubhavana lagg raha tha.

Aaj fir se Sailana mein satsang aur ek vishal bhandara hai...jahan sabhi bhakton ko kapde, kambal, prasad aur mithai ka vittaran hoga.

Sabka mangal...sabka bhala....

om..om..om...

Madhya Pradesh se Madhya Pradesh tak ka safar

Indore ke poonam darshan ke vishal karyakram ke baad kissi vishesh karya se achaanak Delhi jaana pada. 13 December subah 12 baje flight se Delhi ke Terminal 3 ke paas apne ashram pahaunche, 3 baje meeting ke liye gaye aur raat ko rajokari ashram mein sabhi bhakton ko darshan de kar wahin vishram kiya. Agley din 14 December ki subah fir se meeting ke liye kahin jaana hua, aur fir dopahar ko 3 baje Karol Bagh ashram pahaunche jahan bhakton ki bheed mera intezaar kar rahi thi. Unko darshan dekar sham 6 baje ki flight se Bhopal ke liye nikal gaye kyunki agley din, 15 December ko Dewas mein karyakram tha. Bhopal se Dewas lagbhag 160 km ki duuri per hai. Indore ki jagah Bhopal ki flight yeh soch kar li, ki Bhopal se Dewas pahaunchane ke raaste mein 3 jagah per satsang aur darshan ka karyakram ho jaayega. Ek taraf Delhi airport per Delhi ke bhakton ki udaasi thi, to doosri taraf Bhopal airport per Bhopal ke bhakton ka bhavya swagat. Madhya Pradesh ke bhakton ke sankalpon ne mujhe 15 December ki subah Bhopal mein gurukul mein vidyarthi vishesh satr, fir dopahar ko Sehore, Ashta, aur fir sham ko dewas mein kirtan yatra aur satsang karne ke liye aakhir kheench hee liya.

Ab kal dopahar (16 December) ko Dewas mein satsang ka ek satr de kar, Kaytha ke liye rawana honge.

Nano: the small wonder

29^th November 2011, ko Jaipur centre aana hua. Yahan ke sevakarya mein vyast sadhak humare aane se gad gad hue. Un sab ke saath unki sevaon ke vishay mein charchaa ka ek satr chalaa. Sevaon ke vistaar, sanstha ke badhte hua karyon va sabhi sadhakon ki city mein baar baar aane jaane ki zaroorat ke bare mein pataa chalaa. Sabhi ko kissi na kissi karyavash city mein din mein ek baar jaane ki avashyakta padhti hee hai. Unki baton se lagaa ki yahan per ek chhoti car ke avshyakta hai jiss se seva aur acche dhang se ho sake

Sevakon ne akhbaar ke vibbhin vigyaapan dikhaaye. Tata motors ke showroom mein jaana tey hua. November ke mahine mein Indica Vista per car exchange offer tha, socha ki wahi lenge. Per jab showroom mein Nano ke 2012 model per nazar gayi toh, Indica Vista lene ka vichaar badal gaya. Mojito green colour ko aaye hue 2 hee din hue the, abhi poore Jaipur mein 2012 ki keval ek hee car sell hui thi aur mojito green colour ki pehli gaadi wohi thi…jissper humari nazar thi.

Showroom ke sales executives se baat hui. Mujhe showroom mein swayam dekh kar 4 showroom executives mere paas aa kar vibbhin cars ke bare mein mujhe parichit karaane lagey. Per Nano jaisi chhoti, economical, cute, maindak jaisi, compact aur zaada milega dene waali car koi aur nahi dikhi. Aakhir mein, Nano Mojito green colour le hee li … Its improved features, noiseless engine with improved suspension and2 rear view mirrors, and nice, stylish interiors was enough to impress. I was given discount too! Acchi deal mein at the same time payment karke car centre tak main svayam chala kar laaya. Sabhi sadhak bahut khush the. Unke sevakarya karne mein aur utsaah badh gayaa.

Music: the breath of life

Sangeet jab dil ko chhu ta hai, tab bhasha aur praant ke bhed bhaavon ki seema paar kar leta hai. Mere gay hue kayi bhajan aise hain, jo desh videsh ke sadhak bahut ruchi se sunte hain. Followers belonging to different cultures and languages find those devotional songs soulful. Many a time, my followers living in Mauritius, Thailand or London do not understand the Hindi language in which the songs have been sung, yet they find solace and feel overjoyed on hearing them. When I happen to ask them, “how come you liked the bhajan, you do not understand Hindi…?” They reply, “A song that is soulful and the music that touches our heart is beyond the barriers of language.”
Very recently I came across some youngsters from North India listening to a Tamil song in their car. They seemed to be in awe of the song…I vaguely remember the lyrics being … “Kolaveri Kolaveri…” At my behest, when my sevak asked one of the lads, he said, “we really love the music beats and the style in which it is sung…it hardly matters that we do not understand Tamil…”
Yeh sach hai ki sangeet mein insaano ko badalne ki taakat hai. Accha sangeet jeevan ki udaasi aur tanaav ko duur karta hai. To humesha apne jeevan ko sangeet, nritya aur kalaon se sarabor rakhiye, apne jeevan ko aur mangalmay banaaiye.

Khagras Chandra Grahan, 11 December 2011

Kal 10 December ko Margshirsh Poornima thi. Yeh din Bhagwan Dattatreya ka avtaran divas bhi hai, iss liye isko Datta Jayanti ke naam se bhi jaana jaata hai. Per iss varsh (2011) ki Datta Jayanti aur bhi vishesh thi, kyunki kal Khagras Chandra Grahan yaani Total Lunar Eclipse tha. Shaam 6.15 baje se raat 9.48 tak Chandra Grahan lagaa tha. Yeh iss varsh ka teesra chandra grahan tha. Poore Bharat mein yeh Chandra Grahan dikha. Africa, Europe, Middle East Asia, Australia, North America, Greenland, East Canada, Pacific aur Arctic oceans mein bhi logon ne Chandra Grahan dekha.

Subah 9.15 baje se hee sutak lag gaya tha. Iss samay ke baad bhojan karna varjit tha. Humare shaastron mein Chandra Grahan ke din upvaas aur snan ki khuub mahima hai. Upvaas grahan lagne ke 9 ghante poorv hee prarambh ho jaata hai.Grahan ke shuru hone aur samaapti per snan karne se vishesh phal ki praapti hoti hai.Yehi kaaran hai ki Haridwar, Prayag jaise tirth sthalon per grahan ke samay shraddhaluon ki bheedh lagi rehti hai. Grahan ke yeh 3.30 ghante maano saadhna ke path per chal rahe saadhakon ke liye jaise ek golden opportunity the. Iss samay kiya gaya jap dhyaan, lakh guna phal deta hai. Omkar ki toh vishesh hee mahima hai. Ashtakshara Mantra aur Mrityunjaya Mantra japne se shanti ki praapti, swasthya mein vriddhi, aur prema bhakti ke maarg mein unnati pradaan hoti hai.
Margshirsh poornima ka shubh divas aur khagras chandra grahan jaisa anupam mauka ek saath aana bahut durlabh baat hai. Kal ke din ka laabh yahan Indore ke bhakton ne bhi liya. Poornima darshan ke saath saath vrat, upvaas, jap dhyaan ka ek anupam mahaul bann gaya tha. Raat 9.48 tak nirantar jap chalta raha. Uske baad mein, sabne snan karke bhojan prasad praapti karke ratri ka vishraam kiya.
