https://blog.dadabhagwan.org Fri, 06 Feb 2026 13:06:32 GMT Dada Bhagwan Foundation weekly 0.8 english Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pran-pratishtha-of-the-trimandir-in-thane-mumbai-india/ Thane also known as the ‘city of Lakes’ has many attractions; from serene water bodies, to ancient Titwala Ganapati temple dating back to 11th century, to the 16th century Forts signifying strength and valour, to even the touch of a modern lifestyle - malls bustling with life and entertainment! Well this city, just got another feather in its hat full of rich cultural heritage – the Non-Sectarian Trimandir, an innovative concept by Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, a one of its kind symbol of unity of the three major religions in India namely Jainism, Vaishnavism & Shaivism. The temple has 27 Gods & Goddesses under one single roof catering to the beliefs of one and all who visit. Day 1: Welcome and life-instilling ceremony of the Lord Shiva family On 30th, 31st January and 1st February 2026, Pujyashree Deepakbhai performed the life-instilling ceremony in all the Lords at the Thane Trimandir. When Pujyashree first entered the Trimandir premises at 9:45 AM on 30th January, he was welcomed by the local mahatmas of the Mumbai centre with a vibrant cultural event. From young kids to teenagers, all dressed in various attires of Gods & Goddesses, people from different cultures and communities performed a wonderful dance on a song composed just for this particular Thane event. Other Mahatmas, present in huge numbers danced to the tunes, adding to the merry of the event. Pujyashree then advanced to the temple where he performed the life-instilling ceremony for Lord Shiva, Goddess Parvati, Nandiji, Kurma Avatar, Lord Ganapati, Lord Hanuman, the Tirthankara of the next time cycle Lord Padmanabh Prabhu, Padmavati Devi & Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan and Pujya Niruma. After the life-instillation vidhi was successfully performed it was now time for poojan, bhakti & aarti of the Lords that has just manifested within their respective idols. Just then the deputy chief minister of Mumbai, revered Shri Eknath Shindeji also joined the ceremony to be a part of this auspicious event. Shri Eknath Shindeji, along with Pujyashree Deepakbhai and other esteemed guests offered flowers, garlands and pearls to the deities and then proceeded for Aarti. During the ceremony Pujyashree Deepakbhai addressed one and all there by shedding light on what Neelkanth Mahadev actually stands for. In life we constantly face insults and criticism from our bosses and family members; the one who quietly digests these insults, and let alone retaliating, when they bless the other person causing them this suffering, that is a true devotee of Lord Shiva! Day 2: Sanctification ceremony of the Lord Krishna family Day 2, 31st January, 2026 was the day of performing the sanctification ceremony for the idols of Lord Shri Krishna, Lord Shrinathji, Lord Tirupati Balaji, Garuda Dev, Bhadrakali Mataji, Tulja Bhavani Maa, Chakreshwari Devi, Sai Baba and Amba Maa. Once the Pran Pratishtha was complete, Pujyashree performed pooja and adorned the Gods & Goddesses with Garlands, flowers, pearls, with divine bhakti songs being sung in the background, fuelling an already very energetic morning. On the second day evening, the Gnan Vidhi ceremony (scientific experiment to impart Self-realization, exclusive to Akram Vignan) was also conducted by Pujyashree Deepakbhai where hundreds of seekers attained the knowledge of Self-realization in just two hours. Day 3: Bhaav Pran Pratishtha ceremony of the Lord Simandhar Swami family On Day 3, 1st February 2026, Pujyashree performed the bhaav Pran Pratishtha in the idols of the current living Tirthankara Lord Simandhar Swami Bhagwan, Tirthankar Lords who existed on this very time cycle Lord Rishabhdev Bhagwan, Lord Ajitnath Bhagwan, Lord Parshvanath Bhagwan, Lord Mahavir Bhagwan, Lord Simandhar Swami’s protecting celestial beings– Chandrayan Yaksh Dev and Panchanguli Yakshini Devi and the idol of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan. After the bespoke ceremony, during the poojan, bhakti & aarti of the Gods & Goddesses, deputy chief minister Shri Eknath Shindeji again graced the event with his presence along with the mayor of Thane district Shrimati Sharmila Gaikwad and deputy mayor Shrimati Krishna Dadu Patil among other esteemed invitees. Respected Shri Ajay Ashar, the Chairman and Managing Director of the Ashar Group, shared a glimpse of how the Thane Trimandir came to be, with immense support from Shri Eknath Shindeji. Later on Shri Eknath Shindeji took to the dais to address the devotees present there and thousands watching the ceremony live. He emphasised on how Param Pujya Dadashri had said that when differences in opinions are present among family members, peace cannot prevail in the house, similarly, when there are differences among religions, peace cannot prevail in the country and salvation cannot be achieved. And to promote this very concept, to bring the people of all religions closer to one another, and make every visitor feel like this is their own temple, he provided all assistance necessary for such a majestic and spectacular temple to be built near the Cancer Care Hospital, also giving strength and spreading spirituality among the cancer patients and their family members. This eventful morning was followed by yet another two and a half hour bhakti in the evening. Spiritual songs revering all Gods and Goddesses were sung in the temple, with millions of visitors doing darshan of the newly opened temple. The vibe of the temple was something else during the bhakti. Not only that the overall transformations in the idols from before and after the Pran Pratishtha & Bhakti event were remarkable and unmissable! On the next day, 2nd February 2026, the Dwar opening ceremony was performed, i.e., opening the doors to all the Gods for their first darshan after the Pran Pratishtha ceremony. Pujyashree Deepakbhai opened the doors of Lord Simandhar Swami, Shri Krishna Bhagwan, Lord Shiva and all the other Gods and Goddesses along with the guidance on what to wish from them when we pray to them. Then aarti was performed and the Thane Trimandir was now officially open for visitors! This was followed by a discourse where volunteers shared their experiences of selfless seva done by one all to make this event such a huge success. Volunteers worked day and night, taking time out from their personal and professional lives, and moreover, it seemed like a divine help was always around the corner when going got tough! With sheer altruistic commitment from these volunteers and the holy assistance of the celestial beings, this once in a lifetime event in the Thane city left millions in awe of the concept, culture and spirituality proposed by Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan. If you find yourself around Thane city or plan a trip if you will, a visit to the monumental Non-Sectarian Trimandir is a must. Until next time, enjoy the visual glimpses of this historic event… https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pran-pratishtha-of-the-trimandir-in-thane-mumbai-india/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pran-pratishtha-of-the-trimandir-in-thane-mumbai-india/ Thu, 05 February 2026

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dada-bhagwans-118th-janma-jayanti/ This year, the 118th birth anniversary of Revered Gnani Purush, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, was celebrated from Nov 3rd upto Nov 9th in Morbi, Gujarat. On Nov. 3, thousands of followers from across the world got gathered at the Ravapar Ghunda Road, Opp. Water Tank, Morbi, to celebrate our revered Dadashri’s 118th grand Janmajayanti with great warmth and cheer in the presence of our beloved Pujyashree!!! The mega-event commenced with a warm welcome of Pujyashree on the event ground. Pujyashree was seated in an open car, blessing each one in the crowd that had lined up on the route for His darshan. Thereafter, Pujyashree’s satsang was held, where people got resolution to their niggling problems and the queries one had for progressing on the spiritual path. In the evening, Pujyashree lit the lamp, and with His opening remarks, inaugurated the ‘Jova Jevi Duniya’, which is spread over a sprawling 300 bigha land, and would remain open to the public between Nov 3 – Nov 9, 2025, from 4.30pm – 11.30pm. This included a very unique and most-happening Children’s park so that good values can be nurtured in children, a busy Theme park oozing positivity and imparting right knowledge to elders, and a big Satsang Hall so that people make best spiritual progress in the shelter of Pratyaksh Gnani! The Children’s park features: a wonderful puppet show, ‘Tara rum pum pum’, ‘Hanuman and Kaalnemi’ using the latest technology of holography, Super hero and Amphitheatre where kids can participate in competitions, Fun n Learn, the ‘Rings of Positivity’ lucky draw, etc. And in the Theme park, we got to enjoy: a short film ‘Siren’, a multimedia show ‘Main kaun hoon’, Ehsaas; and above all, the live drama, ‘Vikram aur Betaal’ just stealing the show!! In free time, children can play different games or click some selfies at the locations they like; and elders may visit the book-stall where they can fetch some real gems (books) that includes books in different Indian languages too. Pujyashree then released the sixth volume of the book, ‘Gnani Purush’, which is a biography of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan. The Part 6 features the 4-years period, starting from the point when Dadashri attained Gnan and upto the time when He started giving Gnan to others. For Dada Bhagwan, Gnan was a but-natural manifestation that happened effortlessly, while He was sitting on a bench of the Surat station platform, waiting for His train to arrive. After Gnan, He pondered, “the happiness that I have experienced, how do I help the other people in the world experience the same?” Four years later, His prayers were answered, when the Lords blessed Him with the divine power, so that He could carry out the work of the salvation of the world. After the opening of the book, people, along with Pujyashree Deepakbhai, performed the Aarti with great devotion. And soon after, it was time for a short play, named, “The treasure box!” The script of the play, the screenplay and the acting were all very simple and fabulous! This crisp, easy-to absorb and quick-to-digest play beautifully demonstrated how with wrong understanding, one becomes unhappy and with the right understanding, one becomes happy; how seeing others’ possessions, we foolishly invoke material desires and make our own life miserable! Following the play, came a highly energetic and graceful dance performance by the little GNC kids, “Aaj Dada Jayanti no utsav killol” that pleased the audience to the brim. Next day, on Nov 4, the prime day of Param Pujya Dadashri’s birthday (as per the Hindu calendar), the celebrations started early in the morning! Followers in good numbers performed the Pujan of Swami, Dada and Niruma and assembled in the Satsang Hall. As Pujyashre Deepakbhai came in, the program commenced with the Namaskar Vidhi. Then Pujyashree, in his Janmajayanti special message to the followers, reiterated that we remain aware of the garvaras (sweet juice of pride), the kartapanu (doer-ship) that arises within, and following the principles of Dadashri, we be free from it. Thereafter, he blessed every follower for their best progress on the path of spirituality!! Later, Pujyashree called out the Samayik of diverting all of our ego for the purpose of the salvation of the world to help purify it completely. After that, along with Pujyashree, all the followers did the Pujan of the idols of Gods present on the stage, and then, the Aarti was performed by Pujyashree Deepakbhai and along with him was our Honourable Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri Bhupendrabhai Patel. The Honourable Chief Minister garlanded Pujyashree Deepakbhai and took his blessings. Pujyashree Deepakbhai, on this occasion, gifted him the new book, Gnani Purush - Part 6. Next, Pujyashree announced the Param Pujya Dadashri’s next Janmajayanti venue. It’s Charottar (includes districts of Kheda, Anand and the neighbouring areas), where Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan spent his childhood, and Vaso, a village in Charottar, is where Pujya Niruma belongs to. So, one more grand celebration of our Param Pujya Dadashri is on its way in Charottar, and you are most cordially invited for the same!! After that, all the followers got ready for the Darshan programme, the moment that everyone was desperately waiting for. In the evening, the well-famous singer Shri Osmanbhai Mir, alongwith his son, Aamirbhai Mir, and his team of musicians took the stage and conducted live Bhakti. Nov 5 commenced with a beautiful Satsang with Pujyashree and ended with an awesome Gnanvidhi!!! 4000+ new seekers attended Gnan-vidhi and attained the experiential knowledge of the Self (who really am I?). https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dada-bhagwans-118th-janma-jayanti/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dada-bhagwans-118th-janma-jayanti/ Fri, 07 November 2025

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/janmashtami-celebration-2025/ Happy Janmashtami!!! Janmashtami, as we all know, is a festival celebrating the birthday of Lord Krishna with love and joy. Like every year, the Janmashtami festival was celebrated with great devotion and enthusiasm in all the Trimandirs this year as well; be it in Bhadran, the native place of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, or in Vasna, Rajkot, Bhuj, Godhra, Morbi, Surendranagar, Amreli, Anjar, Baroda, Jamnagar, Mumbai, Junagadh, Dhrangadhra, Bhavnagar or Pune and of-course in Adalaj too. Right from morning, devotees had begun to pour in in large numbers in these Trimandirs, to do the darshan of Lord Krishna and of the other Lords as well. On the day of Janmashtami, Trimandir Adalaj witnessed a constant influx of people throughout the day! The grandeur of Lord Krishna on his birthday was indeed splendid! And among the other attractions were a Janmashtami-special puppet show, named ‘Sheru ka focus formula’ and a vivid multimedia show, ‘Krodh ni Shodh’, hosted specially for the occasion, in the Trimandir campus. The lovely puppets of a little cub, a peacock, an elephant, etc. pleased the kids thoroughly, as they lightly, yet powerfully, illustrated before the audience the significance of praying to God whenever we are facing any challenges or want to come out of any of our weaknesses. And the multimedia show, very nicely, demonstrated how young Krishna, through a simple game of cricket, helps the little pals identify their own anger, understand the reasons behind one’s anger and also help others come out of their anger. In the same campus is the Store of Happiness that remains open throughout the year; here, visitors received two magical keys that could help resolve any kind of daily conflicts in life. Pujyashree Deepakbhai visited the temple and did the Darshan of all Lords. In the temple podium, he gave darshan to all the new aspirants, with a humble prayer in his heart that may all be free from the worldly sufferings and attain salvation. Later in the evening, at 9.30pm, there was a Bhakti program, arranged at the Dadanagar Convention Hall, in the esteemed presence of Pujyashree. The stage was very beautifully decorated and at the centre of the stage, stood a brilliantly tall, delicate yet majestically attired idol of Lord Krishna, that captivated the hearts of the huge audience that had gathered here for the Krishna-Janma bhakti programme. Vimal Bhai Mehta and the team was specially invited on the occasion to sing some melodious hymns of Lord Krishna and they did a fabulous job in keeping everyone happily absorbed in the Bhakti, relating with the lyrics of the hymns they were singing in the praise of Lord Krishna, in the praise of the revered Gnani!!! Pujyashree too sang a beautiful hymn that carried a deep spiritual meaning, the lyrics of which were ‘Khulli sadak parmarth ni, Akram marg adithh’. And just a few minutes before the clock struck 12, came in a team of 14 youth boys, bringing along a graceful and energetic Raas-leela dance performance. At midnight, all eyes were hooked onto the little Krishna, who went up his friends-pyramid and with his flute, broke the earthen pot hanging high and thus completed the popular tradition of Krishna’s Matki-fod. Soon, the entire atmosphere was mesmerizing, with the loud melodious chant of Lord Krishna’s different names playing in the background; and in the foreground, our most revered and beloved Pujyashree showering flowers on Lord Krishna, offering to the Lord his favourite maakhan-misri, cradling the new-born Baby Krishna, lovingly hugging Lord Krishna and performing the aarti of Lord Krishna. Finally, Pujyashree gave an enlightening message to the followers, saying, Lord Krishna has been worshipped by people in various different forms like Bal-Krishna, Laalaji, Bansuriwala, Radha-Krishna and finally as Yogeshwar Krishna too; but even beyond that, the one in the elemental form (as Soul) is really Krishna; the body is temporary. Lord Krishna always dwelled in the Soul and not in His mind, speech or body and this is what He helped Arjun attain. As a result, despite killing crores of people, Arjun did not bind any karma. It’s the same knowledge that we receive from Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan; where we shall not bind karma and attain Moksha. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/janmashtami-celebration-2025/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/janmashtami-celebration-2025/ Tue, 19 August 2025

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/guru-purnima-celebration-2025/ Guru-Purnima, which is celebrated every-year on the full moon day of the sacred month of Ashaadh as per the Hindu calendar, is dedicated to all the teachers (Guru) in this world. On this day, we take out special time and express our faith and gratitude towards our revered teachers for giving us the knowledge that has enriched our mind and has helped us progress in life. In one of the hymns, Kaviraj describes: Guru te kone kehvay jene jova thi sheesh jhuki jay….Sadguru kone kehvay? Joi ne triyoge vandan thay!!! Meaning: Guru (the Teacher) is One, seeing whom, our head automatically bows down in utter reverence… Sadguru (the Enlightened One) is One, seeing whom, our heads automatically bow down in utter reverence as we pay obeisance to Him through our thoughts, words and actions. Hence on this day, we also especially worship those, whom we hold in highest regard for being a beacon of knowledge in our life, and gratefully thank this Sadguru, for having guided us on the right path that liberates us, for inspiring us to move and grow on this path, for holding our hand firmly, yet tenderly, through all the ups and downs, and ensuring that we happily and confidently progress on the path and achieve our goal of attaining ultimate liberation. Accordingly, with the right faith and worship oozing in every heart, Dada Bhagwan’s Guru-Purnima 2025 was celebrated on July 10, 2025, with great devotion and enthusiasm, in the pious presence of Pujyashree Deepakbhai, at Jacksonville, USA. Early in the morning, the celebrations of Guru-Purnima 2025 began with the chant of the auspicious Trimantra, followed by the Namaskar vidhi, where everyone offered their highest obeisance to all the revered Gods and Goddesses. This inspiring message from Pujyashree was followed by the Jagatkalyan Samayik (a short prayer for the salvation of this world) and Pujan-Divo-Aarti (ritualistic worship, chanting of prayers and hymns and waving lamps) of Lord Simandhar Swami and Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan. Pujyashree was then garlanded, with fresh flowers, amidst the claps and cheers of the followers and the lyrics and music of the Guru Purnima 2025 song ‘Dada tamara jai jai kaar’ playing in the background, that devotionally charged the entire atmosphere!!! Following this was the Darshan program, the key event, where every follower pays their obeisance to the Gnani, and very earnestly, asks Him to grant the strength to come out of every specific weakness that has been hindering the progress and posing an obstacle for the best spiritual effort one wishes to put in. And finally, the day ended with a beautiful Bhakti, and a cute GNC Parade, where children held placards, displaying the Guru-Purnima messages given to us by Pujyashree over the years, thus making the role of the Supreme Guru, evidently clear to us - how He enlightens our path of salvation, how deeply He cares for our progress, lifts us at every level and ensures we move up the path of progress and reach the next milestone. Long live the Gnani and His grace!!! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/guru-purnima-celebration-2025/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/guru-purnima-celebration-2025/ Mon, 14 July 2025

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-birthday-pujyashree-2025/ Happy Birthday Pujyashree!!! 9th May, 2025, a day that witnessed joy and celebration in every heart, be it an infant or a senior citizen, for it was the birthday of Pujyashree Deepakbhai, whom everyone loves, whom everyone cherishes dear to their hearts.    At the onset, the Rain Gods were amongst the first to come and wish Pujyashree a happy birthday! They poured and bountifully showered their choicest blessings on Pujya Deepakbhai, that may you, year after year, every year and every day, continue with your good work of dampening the hearts that are drying up in the scorching heatwave of the vicious Kaliyug, with the downpour of the cool teachings of Akram Vignan; and may you shower in abundance the divine grace on this Earth, so that each of these hearts get transformed into a perennial river of love, that flows profusely with positive energy, and on its way, helps people progress towards their real destination. Later at 8am, a special video of Pujyashree was relayed on the Akonnect app for the benefit of all the followers. This video was indeed a treat to watch! At 11am, Pujyashree left for the Dadanagar Hall, for discourses in the ongoing PMHT shibir at Adalaj, meant for the married men and women; the topic being on interactions between parents and children. Pujya Deepakbhai has been ceaselessly and sincerely doing discourses almost daily, with various different groups and in various different formats; and seeing him do this, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan would undoubtedly be showering immense blessings on Pujyashree, as it was an ardent wish of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan that even after He’s gone, the jagatkalyan work should continue in full swing, to help alleviate people’s sufferings. In the evening, Pujyashree conducted one more discourses, which went on upto 7pm. And at 7pm, the Dadanagar Convention hall, which happens to be a very huge hall, suddenly seemed to be falling short of space, as people continued to pour in, in big numbers for the birthday celebrations. As Pujyashree entered the hall, he was welcomed with a loud cheer, and people’s joy knew no bounds when they finally managed to get a glimpse of their beloved Pujyashree.   Then as always, Pujyashree, with utmost humility, requested the followers to bless him graciously, that may this body of his continue to serve as a useful instrument for the purpose of fulfilling each and every wish of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan and Pujya Niruma related to jagatkalyan, and may this instrument continue to do the jagatkalyan work right until the last moment of his life. Last month, more than 200 Senior Citizen followers had trained themselves on the mouth-organ, so that they could play the Happy Birthday tune on this auspicious occasion. To this tune, Pujyashree Deepakbhai cut the beautiful 3 tier cake, made offerings to Simandhar Swami, Dada Bhagwan and Niruma. He was then garlanded with fresh flowers, as all the followers, in their heart, wished him the very best for his long and healthy life, that continues to light the right path in people’s life. Finally, everyone together enjoyed the delicious Mahaprasad that was hosted as a part of Pujyashree’s birthday celebration. Following a bad weather forecast, a play that was to happen in the evening was rescheduled to 10th evening. Accordingly, on May 10, a magnificent play, with the name, ‘Niruma ni Safar… Sevak ma thi Sevya ni’, was presented before Pujyashree Deepakbhai as a birthday gift of his choice! Indeed, what a splendid gift it was?! It captivated the entire audience with the awesome acting, smooth screenplay, lovely lyrics, grand dance performances and impressive direction. The play was enacted so beautifully and so realistically that Pujyashree said, it carried him back into those times when all of this had really occurred. The entire journey of Niruma, that began with the role of giving Seva (Sevak) and which gradually rose upto the stage where she became a revered figure (Sevya), was wonderfully encapsulated in brief - how at every instance in her life, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan moulded her, and at that time, what went on within her, how she came out of every situation and finally reached upto the stage of ‘Vatsalyamurti Niruma’!! The artists then took blessings and pictures with Pujyashree. And finally, everyone went home with a smile on their face and a strong inspiration in their heart, that one day, I too, like Pujya Niruma, want to reach there, where Gnani wishes me to be. Jai Satchitanand!   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-birthday-pujyashree-2025/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-birthday-pujyashree-2025/ Mon, 12 May 2025

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujyashree-s-55th-gnan-day/ In 2025, this auspicious occasion gets celebrated at Jaisalmer. Yes!... Jaisalmer, for Pujyashree’s Gnan Day this year, falls on a Jatra day, when thousands of followers are touring along with him in a royal Rajasthan jatra!! In the morning hours of 6th March, 2025, Pujyashree met a group of followers who wished him and took his blessings on this auspicious day. And thereafter, in the evening at around 5pm, 3000+ followers assembled in the golden city jaisalmer; making the desert look as if a sea of people is rocking on the shores of golden sand! Everyone was having a good time together; while some enjoying camel-rides and some taking the gypsy-ride, while some under the sultry sun sipping hot tea and some managing to find a cool shade to sit at ease, some participating in games and fun activities and some, more than satisfied in just watching and cheering. But,… as soon as Pujyashree’s car came in, followers left everything that they were busy with, and with a great cheer, welcomed him with clapping hands, smiling faces and dancing hearts. A fresh round of sand games then got played in the presence of Pujyashree, where neither losing nor winning mattered to anyone, just participating in it was giving fun to everyone. And soon after, all got ready for a bhakti Garba in the Rann! Yes, surrounding the desert, special sound system arrangements were made, so that Dada's melodious devotional songs could play. And to its tune, followers, very gracefully and happily gliding over the sand dunes, made big rounds around Pujyashree’s chair; which was indeed a captivating sight to see! Later, as sun was setting and bhakti rising at its peak; so that people can get best darshan, Pujyashree climbed onto the Thar desert car, went still high up onto the seat, and then rotating around, ensured that each one in the crowd gets a glimpse of their dearest Pujyashree to their heart’s content. Even those not present on the scene felt as if they are a part of this charged atmosphere by witnessing Pujyashree’s compassion by joining the live telecast. Later, at night, the followers once again assembled to celebrate Pujyashree’s Gnan Day. To start with, there was a drama titled ‘Jatra etle shu?...’, which through a very light comedy, highlighted the significance of what Jatra truly means when along with us is Gnani. It was followed by a medley, specifically designed for the occasion and dedicated with love to our beloved Pujyashree. Pujyashree then bowed down and sought blessings from all the followers. Everyone then sang the song wishing him, Happy Gnan Day to you, as he cut the cake and sought blessings from Lord Simandhar Swami, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, Pujya Niruma. He was garlanded with fresh flowers then. And thereafter, happened Swami-Dada Aarti. After that, Pujyashree gave a special message to followers, which they may choose to practice the next day for enhancing their spiritual awareness. And finally, Pujyashree did the vidhi, praying for every follower that may all have good strength to make best progress on the path of salvation. On this occasion, we all also very humbly pray to Lord Simandhar Swami, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, Pujya Niruma and all Dev-Devis that, “May Pujyashree live a long and healthy life, may all his heart-felt intents on the path of salvation be fulfilled, may his mind, speech and body continue to tirelessly support every spiritual seeker's intent of progressing on the spiritual path, and may his love touch the hearts of every person on this Earth.” https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujyashree-s-55th-gnan-day/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujyashree-s-55th-gnan-day/ Mon, 10 March 2025

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/life-instilling-ceremony-of-the-trimandir-in-pune/ Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan gave this world a unique concept of ‘Trimandir’, where all Gods-Goddesses of most Hindu religions share equal reverence on the same platform. Pujya Niruma and Pujyashree Deepakbhai then took forward this concept, and by constructing Trimandirs, as inspired by Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, at various places in different cities far and wide, ensured that the inner intent of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan continues to be fulfilled in its true meaning. This year, a grand celebration of a yet another Trimandir’s Pran Pratishtha event took place between Feb 12 – Feb 17, at Pune, in Maharashtra, India. On this occasion, Pujyashree Deepakbhai Desai reached Pune on Feb 11. He visited the Trimandir premises located on the Pune - Bengaluru Highway Road, Near Khed Shivapur, Varve B.K, and received a quick update about this newly constructed temple and the preparations-in-progress. On Feb 12, as Pujyashree entered into the hall for the Satsang, thousands of Mahatmas welcomed him with lofty feelings of reverence, gratitude and surrender and overwhelming emotions of joy, enthusiasm and cheer. They were swinging and swaying to the rhythm of the song, composed specially for the current event. On Feb 13, two more spiritual discourses took place. The Bhaav Pran Pratishtha done at Trimandir is wonderful! Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s Pran Pratishtha vidhi is such, whereby life is instilled in every idol, and through these idols, for thousands of years, human beings whoever come and do its darshan, shall continue to get results as if the Lord and the Gods-Goddesses are present here, live!! Since, the Trimandir comprises of three temples, the temple of Tirthankar Lord Shri Simandhar Swami, the temple of Lord Shri Krishna and the temple of Lord Shiva, the Pran Pratishtha ceremony was scheduled over three days i.e. from Feb 14 – 16. On Feb 14, Pujyashree performed the sacred bhaav Pran Pratishtha for the idols of Lord Shiva, Maa Parvati, Lord Ganesha, Lord Hanuman, Maa Padmavati, the future Tirthankara Lord Padmanabh Prabhu and Param Pujya Dada and Pujya Niruma. It was then followed by the Poojan-Bhakti-Aarti of these deities, where people participated in huge numbers and upon paying their obeisance, they prayed to Lord Shiva that, “Oh Neelkanth, the poison that comes forth during our worldly interactions, in the form of sufferings, insults or losses of any kind; may we also, just like you, be able to drink this poison with a Pure intent, and Give blessings to the other person (nimit), we see him/her flawless. This would indeed be our true bhakti towards you.” Later in the evening, there was Gnan-Vidhi (the original scientific experiment for Self-realisation which can be attained within two hours) conducted by Pujyashree Deepakbhai. Then on Feb 15th, Pujyashree performed the sacred bhaav Pran Pratishtha for the idols of Lord Shri Krishna, Tulja Bhavani Maa, Chakreshwari Maa, Sai Baba, Amba Maa, Bhadrakali Maa and Pujya Dada Bhagwan.

Honourable Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri Bhupendrabhai Patel was also present on the occasion. After the Pratishtha was completed, he garlanded Pujyashree and took His blessings. Next was the event of unfurling the flags on the three shikhars of the three temples of Trimandir. People were jubilant to see one-by-one flags open up and as each flag opened, every person prayed that touching this flag, wherever the winds go, may it keep enhancing the mission of salvation of the world. The Bhakti of Lord Simandhar Swami Soon after the Completing the rituals of flag fluttering of all 3 temples, people joined in for the Poojan-Bhakti-Aarti program, where beginning from Lord Simandhar Swami, every Tirthankar Lord’s Abhishek was done and their Puja was performed.

From 5pm onwards, there was a musical Bhakti programme, where listening to every devotional song, each one yearned to establish a strong link with the Living God, Shri Simandhar Swami through the grace of the Living Gnani. On this occasion, Pujyashree assured everyone that all our intents will be fulfilled, but they should be for liberation from this worldly cycle. On Feb 17, there was the Dwar-opening ceremony, where Pujyashree opened the doors to Lord Simandhar swami and other deities and performed the Aarti.

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dada-bhagwans-117th-janma-jayanti/ In the city of Vadodara, where Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan spent 50 long years of his life… This year, on the occasion of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s birth anniversary, it was a matter of great honour and proud privilege for the people in and around the cultured city of Vadodara to have got an opportunity to host this grand event, that’s meant to benefit millions of people in their ultimate goal of salvation. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s 117th Janmajayanti celebrations took place between Nov 10 to Nov 17, at the huge Navlakhi Ground, located in Vadodara, which happens to be Dadashri’s Janmabhoomi (Tarsali) and also his karmabhoomi (He stayed at Mama ni Pol). We, the followers, are host, and the entire world is our guest! Pujyashree Deepakbhai reached the venue on Nov. 8, where he received a warm welcome from the eagerly-awaiting Sevarthis, who were already on the ground, giving finishing touches to the pre-event arrangements and gearing up for the inaugural of this mega event. On Nov 9, Pujyashree visited every department of work, blessed the respective Sevarthis and motivated them to give their best service to the visitors who would be here over the next 8 days. His words kindled into every Sevarthi’s heart, a determination to do, whatever was expected of them, sincerely and tirelessly, lovingly and harmoniously. Then came November 10, the inaugural day of this grand event. At the onset, Pujyashree bowed before Lord Shree Simandhar Swami, Lord Shree Krishna, Lord Shiva, and also Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, Pujya Niruma and the Gods-Goddesses; he took their blessings and prayed to them for making this a fruitful event for everyone who had an aspiration for a happy and peaceful life, and anyone who had a seeking desire for spiritual enlightenment and ultimate salvation. With the blessings of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan and Pujya Niruma all Vadodara’s mahatmas began with the pious Shobha Yatra with the Pujyashree. Here, he lighted a lamp, and helped this pious event commence. Government of India released a postal stamp in the honour of Dada Bhagwan!! On this auspicious day, in the esteemed presence of Pujyashree Deepakbhai and the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri Bhupendrabhai Patel, the Postmaster General of Vadodara, Shri Dineshkumar Sharma, on behalf of the Department of Posts, New Delhi, released a commemorative postal stamp of Rs. 5 in the honour of Dada Bhagwan, the founder of Akram Vignan. Every person witnessing this moment made a heartfelt wish that may everyone in this world come to know the Dada Bhagwan, and to whichever address this ticket reaches, may eternal bliss reside there forever!! Thereafter, it was time for an entertaining cultural programme! A wonderful sequel of the drama, Ghar Ek Bagicho, once again stole away every heart, as it demonstrated very simple, easy, yet beautiful ways to adjust in life so that we foster loving and harmonious relationships around us. The splendid satsangs from Pujyashree in the mornings as well as evenings, scheduled between Nov 11 - 15, were the major highlight of the day, where anybody could ask questions that bothered them and get practical resolutions for their problems-at-hand, to their complete satisfaction. On Nov 11th evening, the Vadodara based Sachinbhai-Ashitaben’s famous professional team of musicians and singers, orchestrated a marvellous, well-co-ordinated Bhakti and Garba programme, where each one, with their beautiful performances, got all devotees, present in person and those online, immerse into an incredibly lofty Dadai Bhakti!! On Nov 14, the day of Janmajayanti, Pujyashree, in his message to the followers, reiterated and reminded each one about their homework of resolving the interferences of intellect with the help of Gnan. He shed light on how we can apply spiritual science and help stop these interferences; also, he encouraged everyone to put in their right efforts (purusharth), by emphasizing, how it is imperative to attain this milestone of an interference-free state, in order to reach our higher spiritual goal of attaining a clear experience of the Soul. Later, Pujyashree performed the Pujan-Aarti, and also announced that the next Janmajayanti in the year 2025 shall be held at Morbi. Thereafter, followers did Pujyashree’s divine Darshan and sought the all-powerful grace of Gnani to receive the spiritual strength so as to be able to overcome the inner weaknesses that pose as obstacles on the path of Gnan. May the world attain the Happiness that I have attained!!! On Nov 15, the Gnanvidhi took place, where thousands of spiritual seekers attained Gnan (Self-Realization) with the grace of Gnani and began their journey on the path of salvation. “Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan had such compassion that it was his heartfelt wish that may this Gnan (knowledge of the Self) reach out to people of this country as well as to those abroad; and his wish did come true”, said Pujyashree at the time of inauguration. “And furthermore, Dadashri said that people in the share-market would attain this Gnan and the politicians too would attain this Gnan. Even in places where there is great hunger for power, people who have attained Gnan shall come there and shall do a great help to India.” Pujyashree added, while referring to the Honourable Chief Minister of Gujarat, who has attained Gnan. The Jova Jevi Duniya’s Theme park and the Children park were amongst the major attractions for the general public. There were various domes, each giving out a specific message, that could help one progress in the direction of living life the right way, so that we remain happy and so do people around us. People’s reactions to these shows were out-and-out positive as they got plenty to learn, and that too in an easy and fun way. Visitors came in large numbers, even late during the night, following which, everyday, the domes operated beyond their scheduled time. In this event, more than 5000 followers worked day and night, and put together such magnificent arrangement, which left the public totally mesmerized. In every sphere, the execution was par excellence! With ordinary people at work, how come such an extra-ordinary outcome??... Maybe because of that one feeling cherishing in every heart, “May the world attain the Happiness that I have attained!!!” https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dada-bhagwans-117th-janma-jayanti/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dada-bhagwans-117th-janma-jayanti/ Tue, 26 November 2024

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/janmashtami-celebration-2024/ Janmashtami is a festival that celebrates the birthday of Lord Shree Krishna, who is lovingly called by different names like Baal Krishna, Krishna Kanhaiya, Girdhar Gopal, Govinda, Kaanha, Nandlala, Devki Nandan, Yashoda Nandan, etc. This year, this grand festival was celebrated on August 26, 2024. Lord Shree Krishna was born more than 5000 years ago, and as we all know, He is worshipped by a wide section of society in India and many other parts of the world as well. The devotees revere Him in different forms, right from Baal Krishna to Yogeshwar Krishna. Every chapter of His life-story intrigues the masses and inspires them to go deeper into it and correctly understand why He said what He said and why He did what He did. One of His biggest contributions to this world is the Holy Bhagavad Gita, which although being a spiritual book, is useful to even a layman in solving his day-to-day problems, as it is full of ‘keys’ that help open up every ‘lock’ in one’s life, just that it needs to be understood right. And to help us all understand Lord Krishna’s valuable teachings in its true spirit, on this pious occasion of Janmashtami, the Dada Bhagwan Foundation released a short film named ‘Tak Tak Tak’. This film very nicely and crisply brings us out of all our worries by awakening us to the fact that, ‘To try alone is in our hands, and not the result.’ Also, as the devotees of Lord Krishna, we come to realize our folly that, ‘How can I worry when I am surrendered to God; do I not trust God even?!’ During the day, in the campus of Trimandir Adalaj, a live Puppet show was organized that taught with great creativity, the lessons of positivity to the little kids. Later, in the evening, like every year, there was a Janmashtami special program. This programme is greatly cherished by every follower, because it celebrates the birthday of the beloved Krishna in the presence of their beloved Pujyashree Deepakbhai, getting just one glance of whose, in every heart, love and cheer springs!!! The programme began with the live Bhakti where hymns in praise of Lord Krishna were sung, followed by a nice light drama on Lord Krishna, that kindled a hope in every household, as it showed how easy it is to reconstruct the loving bond between the parent and child, even when it’s gone to the brink of breaking down completely; all that it requires is seeing things from the other side as well. Then, as the clock struck 12 at midnight when baby Krishna was born, a jhaankhi depicting the birth scene of Lord Krishna travelled through the Dada Bhagwan Convention Centre hall, as the young lad, dressed up as ‘Kanha’, performed the Matkifod event. Finally, Pujyashree Deepakbhai blessed everyone on this day so that we can follow all teachings, and maintain loving relationships in life and progress spiritually without any worries. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/janmashtami-celebration-2024/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/janmashtami-celebration-2024/ Thu, 29 August 2024

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/guru-purnima-celebration-2024-chicago-us/ July 17 – July 21 turned out to be the golden days for each and every follower of Dada, as they joined into the celebrations of Guru Purnima 2024 in the august presence of Pujyashree Deepakbhai. On July 16, Pujyashree arrived in Chicago, where the grand event of Guru Purnima was organized. 4000 people from all parts of the world had assembled here to participate in the Satsang programs and attend the Guru Purnima Day event. Thousands of other followers, who couldn’t make it to the venue, joined in live, online. Guru Purnima is a special day for every spiritual seeker as it offers them an opportunity to express their heart-felt gratitude and reverence towards the One who has helped them progress on the path of liberation. And we followers here, feel even more indebted towards the Gnani Purush, for it is He who introduced us to our real Self, and thereby helped us understand our true identity; and furthermore, day after day, He continues to grace us so that we excel in experiencing this Self clearly and completely. And the beauty of this grace is that it is not in the form of mere ‘help’; it is a Gnani’s ardent ‘wish’ to see us liberate ourselves!! How can our head not bow then repeatedly, in sheer obeisance before such Guru, such Gnani Purush!!! Pujyashree’s message in Guru Purnima 2024 vividly revealed this ardent wish of a Gnani as He urged: “All Mahatmas (followers) are doing purusharth (spiritual effort), but now let us do a goal-driven purusharth. That the extent to which the interference of our intellect has stopped. In gross terms, openly disturbing others, interfering into others’ matters should stop. We must reach a stage that no one around should be caused any interference with our intellect.” This inspiring message from Pujyashree was followed by the Jagatkalyan Samayik (a short prayer for the salvation of this world) and Pujan-Divo-Aarti (ritualistic worship, chanting of prayers and hymns and waving lamps) of Lord simandhar Swami and Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan. Thereafter, Pujyashree was garlanded with a beautiful garland of roses. Also, Pujyashree made the announcement that next year, the Guru Purnima 2025 shall be held in Jacksonville, followed by the jackpot of a Akram cruise with Pujyashree, which means those lucky followers who shall be attending this event in person next year shall be able to spend 12 full days with Pujyashree!! This announcement thrilled the audience and the hall was full of claps and cheers. The followers were then graced by Pujyashree’s darshan. Later, in the evening, there was a Bhakti program, where Pujyashree sang a devotional song. While humming this song along with Pujyashree, every follower, on this Guru Purnima Day, paid their heart-felt obeisance in the feet of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, Pujya Niruma and Pujyashree Deepakbhai.   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/guru-purnima-celebration-2024-chicago-us/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/guru-purnima-celebration-2024-chicago-us/ Mon, 29 July 2024

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/72nd-birthday-celebration-at-surat-gujarat/ Happy Birthday Pujyashree!!! This time, the land of Surat, had the great fortune of hosting the 72nd Birthday of our most beloved Pujyashree!!! Nevertheless, Pujyashree’s birthday celebrations began at Adalaj, with the followers from the rest of the world joining in online for the Kirtan-Bhakti, where each one prayed for a long and healthy life of Pujyashree. During the day, these prayers continued to pour in, in one form or another, from every corner on the digital platforms as well. The followers enthusiastically shared with each other the lovely creations of text messages, images and videos that revolved around Pujyashree’s life, highlighting His enchanting smile, His simple outlook in life as well as the blessings that Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan and Pujya Niruma have more than happily kept showering upon Him with seamless love and ceaseless affection!!! At Surat, there was a special evening programme, organized in the auspicious presence of Pujyashree, for the benefit of everyone. A live relay also was arranged so that people from every corner of the world could join in too. Surat known for its food, the programme began with a Foodmela. People ate to their heart’s full and then assembled in the ground where Pujyashree was having His dinner. After dinner, Pujyashree was requested to come and cut the cake. As the followers sang, in chorus, the Happy Birthday song, Pujyashree climbed up the stage, bowed before Simandhar Swami, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan and Pujya Niruma and took their special blessings!!! Amidst the audience’s applause, He cut the cake. Thereafter, He seeked blessings from the followers present on the ground there as well as those connected in the live relay of this programme. Pujyashree was then garlanded with a long and lovely rose garland, after which the little kids ran upto Him and presented to their most beloved Pujyashree a very big and beautiful birthday card!! Thereafter, the followers together made a special heart-felt prayer to Goddess Amba, where they urged to the Goddess that may Pujya Deepakbhai be graced with a long life and uninterrupted good health. Soon after this prayer, began an awesome drama that captured the entire audience’s hearts. This beautifully scripted and enacted play was based on the ‘Nav Kalam’ that depicted how ‘bhavana sudhare bhavobhav’.  Finally, to conclude the celebration of this auspicious day, Pujyashree gave blessings to all the followers for progressing on the path of Salvation.   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/72nd-birthday-celebration-at-surat-gujarat/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/72nd-birthday-celebration-at-surat-gujarat/ Sun, 12 May 2024 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-nirumas-punyatithi-2024/ It was 19th March 2024 early morning! As the sun dawned, heard some music and a familiar song. And when taken from a sky view, streams of people were seen flowing through almost every lane in and around ATPL and Simandhar City, Trimandir Adalaj, Gujarat. Yes, the occasion was Pujya Niruma’s 18th Punyatithi! 19th March commemorates the day when Pujya Niruma left behind the mortal body and advanced to a higher state, from where She continues Her Jagatkalyan work in full swing, even today. All Her life, Pujya Niruma guided people in the right direction so that they find peace while living their worldly life and at the same time, progress on the path of salvation as well. And eighteen years ago, on 19th March 2006, even while leaving, with Her last words ‘Prem thi Rehjo, Promise??’, She bound us all in a Promise, on fulfillment of which, our every purpose of life gets fulfilled with ease. 19th March – a reminder of our promise to Pujya Niruma At the Dadanagar Convention Hall, soon after the Vidhi-Aarti by the followers was done, Pujyashree Deepakbhai arrived there and, in His special message, explained to the followers that when can we be said to have fulfilled the promise given to Pujya Niruma? If someone insults us badly, and after two hours he happens to meet us again, then there is no feeling of separation (judaai) for the person who insulted us, our love towards that person remains the same. If someone gives us respect, we do not go overboard. If he comes to us after two hours, we do not have any attachment for him/her, our detached love towards that person is the same. So, one who gives us respect and one who gives us insult, when there’s equal love towards both of them, then he is said to have become Prem-swarup (Embodiment of Love). No matter how much loss one may have caused to us or how much gain one has caused to us, we have equal love towards both. Irrespective of how much hurt one may have caused to us; whenever s/he happens to meet, our love is the same. ‘Niruma’ – a saga of an ideal disciple exhibiting beautiful surrender and wonderful dedication In the evening, a special video ‘Gnani ni Saachi Odakh’, greatly inspired everyone to the kind of recognition of the Gnani Purush Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan that Pujya Niruma had. Pujya Niruma surrendered to Dadashri as soon as she saw Him and remained so till the end of Her life. Dadashri had carved Her from a rough stone and shaped Her to a beautiful idol of God by chipping away Her ego and false pride with chisel and hammer. So, the stone did not move at all, and with param vinay (absolute humility), it took all the hammerings. And thus, Pujya Niruma reached the state of Gnani! On this day, in the evening, there was a Bhakti programme, where Swarup kirtan bhakti was followed by the pad bhakti. The devotional songs, that were sung live by the followers, invoked the loving memories of Pujya Niruma in the hearts of the audience, expressed Her virtues of complete surrender, total faith, incredible dedication and absolute oneness and love towards Gnani and His salvation work, and also made everyone realize how Dadashri and only Dadashri resided in Her heart. Day and night, She was in the worship of Dadashri. It’s a rule that whomever you worship, you become so!!! Thus, Pujya Niruma, through Her exemplary life, has shown to the world how an ideal surrender towards Gnani is! So come, let us also take the blessings of our most loved Niruma and pray to Her that may we be granted the best of the strength to live our life in complete surrender to Pratyaksh Gnani (current living Enlightened One)-an exceptional sculptor, who with His utter compassion and love, is ready to chip away all our ego, lust, false pride, attachments and greed and create an idol worthy to go to Moksha! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-nirumas-punyatithi-2024/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-nirumas-punyatithi-2024/ Sat, 23 March 2024

The followers had queued up on the entire path to get His majestic Darshan. In the evening, an awesome Bhakti programme was scheduled, where everyone who could make it, from Adalaj as well as the nearby and far-off places, had come to wish our beloved Pujyashree a Happy Gnan Day in person and take His blessings on this special day. When Pujyashree arrived, first and foremost, very humbly as always, He sought the blessings of all followers. Later, Honorable Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri Bhupendra Bhai Patel garlanded Pujyashree. The Bhakti program was very aptly designed with a mix of Pujya Niruma’s narration followed by a devotional song. Pujyashree sung one song apt to the occasion and had awe-inspiring lyrics, “Ahin aa sambhaaru ne poogi jaay temne, Parmatma jh che j, aapna sandesh ne.” So, may this yet another Gnan Day of Pujyashree continue to create wonders in inspiring one and all of us to live a life full of Gnan and Love! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujyashree-s-54th-gnan-day/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujyashree-s-54th-gnan-day/ Sat, 09 March 2024

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/life-instilling-ceremony-of-the-trimandir-in-bhavnagar/ On Feb 18th, 2024, the auspicious Sanctification ceremony took place at the non-sectarian Trimandir in Bhavnagar, Gujarat, India, in the presence of Pujyashree and the subtle presence of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan and Pujya Niruma. People flocked in, in huge numbers from various parts of the world, more so from different parts of Gujarat, to attend this event. For the locals, a Q&A Satsang and Gnan-Vidhi were arranged on Feb 16 and Feb 17 respectively. On Feb 18th, 2024, Pujyashree arrived at the Bhavnagar Trimandir at 10am and performed the auspicious Bhaav Pratishtha of every deity installed in this temple. In the meanwhile, followers did prayers, with awareness, as advised by Pujyashree. Thereafter, Pujyashree came out of the temple and announced to the followers, who were anxiously waiting to hear from Him, that the wonderful Pran Pratishtha had happened. Whoever will step into the temple will now experience peace and happiness in life, and shall, in all probability, find the link to Gnan (Self-Realization) and Gnani (the Enlightened One) in this era of Kaliyug. The three flags, one each from the shrines of Swami Simandhar, Shri Krishna Yogeshwar and Neelkanth Mahadev Shiv, were let loose and allowed to fly, with a pure intention in the heart, that touching this flag, wherever the wind goes, may everyone there be blessed enormously by the Gods, residing in this awesome Trimandir! At 4.30 pm, it was time for the Pujan-Aarti of the Gods here! The session commenced on time with the Prakshal Pujan of the Lord Simandhar Swami, the present Living Tirthankar. Waters from almost every river in India, big and small, were collected in a pot, and with this jal, the Prakshal was done! After Prakshal, Pujyashree bowed down and took the Lord’s most precious blessings. Thereafter, He performed the Pujan and Aarti of Lord Simandhar Swami. The Pujan of Lord Rishabhdev, Lord Ajitnath, Lord Parshvanath and Lord Mahavir; of Lord Padmanabh, the future Tirthankar; of Lord Shri Krishna and Lord Shiva; of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, who inspired this concept of the non-sectarian temple of Trimandir; of every idol of Gods-Goddesses, of Pujya Niruma; and last but not the least, of Sai Baba too, was done in the same manner, followed by various Aartis performed by Pujyashree, along with the followers. One can well imagine how ecstatic the entire atmosphere in this Bhavnagar Trimandir was on this day, amidst Pujyashree’s purest Pran Pratishtha; amidst every ritual of Pujan and Aarti done, taking along the superlative bhaav of all followers; amidst most melodious devotional songs that were sung with great bhaav, matching the lyrics with the scene live at that moment; and the ultimate topmost jagat-kalyan bhaav ticking in every heart joint with this event. In the evening, a beautiful Bhakti programme was arranged, wherein every devotional song sung was very heart-touching! A lot of Darshanarthi visited the temple to do the darshan of the enchanting idols, and here, they also got the darshan of Pujyashree, who was present in the programme. Also on this occasion, followers got the precious gift of getting to listen to their most loved devotional song, ‘Simandhar Swami na pratyaksh darshan thaajo amne’ in the voice of…. Guess who??.... their most beloved Pujyashree!!! The next day, the Door-opening ceremony of this new Trimandir was done, by the auspicious hands of Pujyashree, in the presence of esteemed followers, present in hundreds of numbers. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/life-instilling-ceremony-of-the-trimandir-in-bhavnagar/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/life-instilling-ceremony-of-the-trimandir-in-bhavnagar/ Mon, 26 February 2024

The event began on the November 22nd evening with a beautiful Shobha Yatra through the venue ground, where the followers had queued up in high spirits to welcome their beloved Pujyashree Deepakbhai in person and  Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan and Pujya Niruma in the subtle form. The Honorable Chief Minister of Gujarat Shri Bhupendrabhai Patel was present on the occasion too, where he, alongside Pujyashree, lit the lamps and inaugurated the grand 5-day event of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan Janma Jayanti. To start with, 116 little kids and youth presented an awesome cultural programme performance on the stage, which was quite quick and swift in connecting each and every person watching it. Soon following it, was a beautiful satsang of Pujyashree, whose words invoked bhakti of an altogether different level in the hearts of people towards Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan and inspired us all to come out of our faults. On the occasion, he also released a double bonanza for the progress of the followers on the path of salvation: Gnanvani (in the voice of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan) Part 42 and Part 43, and Two books on how to get rid of Vyasan (addiction) in life, a. 'Vyasan mukti no marg' for beginners and b. 'Vyasan mukti ni vaignyanik reet’ for the Self-realized followers, showing a scientific way to come out of any fault that is hindering their progress on the path of liberation. Over the next two days too, there were Satsangs in the morning as well as evening for the followers, who obtained very useful guidance regarding their burning questions and few also shared their experiences. As always, the Satsangs did their beautiful bit in taking every follower one step ahead of where they stood. Our heart-felt obeisance to this most precious Gnani and the incredible Gnan!!! On Nov 23rd evening, there was ‘Daayro’, performed by a follower Vimalbhai Mehta from Amreli, where he entertained the followers present in huge numbers, with a variety of things; the most heart-touching being an illustration of how Mother's love means everything to the child in his life, and the way ‘Niruma as a Mother’ has impacted each and every follower’s life through her 'Vatsalya' is even far more superior than any Mother’s love. Pujyashree here made a special remark that Niruma’s Vatsalya has not reduced after she’s gone from here, on the contrary, it has increased multifold, which every follower has experienced. The next day evening, there was Garba organized, where a team of musicians and singers performed live for the the followers. As Pujyashree made an entry onto the stage, the jubilation of the followers soared to super heights. While their feet were dancing to the tunes of Dada's melodious pad bhakti, all the eyes were anxiously waiting to see Pujyashree arrive for the Garba. The sprawling ground on which the Janma Jayanti celebration is taking place has in it an elaborate Theme park, comprising of video shows and activities that educate and enlighten people on various topics that are very useful in life and a nice cozy Kids Park too, where there’s lots the little stars could learn from. One of the shows ‘Siren’, alerting us regarding our false pride within, has been a super hit, and in the Children’s Park, the ‘Vikram and Betaal show’ is entertaining crowds while serving good lessons on humanity. So people pouring in, in large numbers, have lots to see and enjoy in this ‘Jova Jevi Duniya’!! On the 25th of November was Gnan-vidhi, where 3500 spiritual seekers procured Gnan (Self-realization) and secured their path of liberation!!! And finally, the special day of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan's Janma Jayanti had arrived. On 26th of morning, people gathered in large, very large numbers, from all over the country and the world, to participate in the Janma Jayanti celebrations and receive the special Drashti Darshan from Pujyashree along with His blessings to each one in order to come out of all weaknesses. Thus, the JJ116 celebrations proved to be a very fruitful event in terms of spiritual progress each one could make. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dada-bhagwans-116th-janma-jayanti/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dada-bhagwans-116th-janma-jayanti/ Tue, 28 November 2023

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/janmashtami-celebration-2023-at-dada-bhagwan-foundation/ On September 7, 2023, the Janmashtami festival was celebrated in Adalaj, gujarat with great enthusiasm and fervour. In the non-sectarian temple of Trimandir, inspired by Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, right from morning, the devotees poured in to do the darshan of Lord Shri Krishna. The entire temple was specially decorated on the occasion of Janmashtami festival. More so, in the inner temple of Shri Krishna Bhagwan, Shri Krishna Yogeshwar, Shreenathji, Bal-Krishna, Tirupati Balaji and Garudji; the decoration of all the forms of the Lord were so attractive, so as to captivate the devotee’s consciousness. Several visitors, big and small, did the darshan while rocking the cradle of Baal-Krishna, located in the inner temple of Shri Krishna Bhagwan. In the evening, at 5 pm, AtmaGnani Pujyashree Deepakbhai arrived at Trimandir to do the darshan of all the Lords. Thereafter, until about 6.30 pm, all the visitors who had come to do darshan in the temple got the benefit of Pujyashree’s Drashti-Darshan. In the campus of the Trimandir, a telecast of a special short film, “Krodh Ki Shodh (Search of Anger)” was arranged for throughout the day, wherein the reasons behind the passion for anger and ways to overcome it were served in a very light and entertaining way. From 9.30 pm, a special Pad-bhakti programme was organized at the Dada Nagar Convention Centre, where after showing the film, “Krodh ni Shodh” in the beginning, echoed some melodious devotional songs reminding of Shri Krishna’s virtues. Along with devotional songs, a cultural and musical programme depicting Shri Krishna’s life sketch was also organized. And thereafter was the Raas-Garba and Matki-fod celebration, performed by the Y-boys. Pujyashree Deepakbhai did the honours of breaking the pot (Matki-fod) and in an environment charged with devotion, Lord Shri Krishna’s birthday festival was celebrated! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/janmashtami-celebration-2023-at-dada-bhagwan-foundation/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/janmashtami-celebration-2023-at-dada-bhagwan-foundation/ Sun, 10 September 2023

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/new-vatsalya-opening-on-76th-independence-day-2023/ On the occasion of the opening ceremony of New Vatsalya – the heart of the AptSankul residence – an exhilarating and soulful celebration was done by all the Mahatmas in the presence of the present Atmagnani Pujyashree Deepakbhai Desai. As a part of the pre-event preparations for this auspicious event, on 14th of August, thousands of Mahatmas, made an offering of coconut and green grams, along with their heartfelt prayers, into the large Saathiya (the swastik symbol), that was designed in the courtyard of the Vatsalya. On August 13th, a Gnan-Vidhi Ceremony was held for the spiritual seekers, wherein 2090 people attained Self Realization (Atma-Gnan). Thereafter, on August 14 and 15, more  than 15000 Mahatmas from various places joined in for the event of Vatsalya opening. In the early morning of the 15th August, Pujyashree Deepakbhai did the Darshan at Trimandir and Niruma’s Samadhi, followed by darshan of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan and Pujya Niruma at the old Vatsalya in Simandhar City. From there, began the grand Shobhayatra (procession) with 108 Kumarikas walking ahead with Kumbh on their heads. In this Shobhayatra, AptSankul Bhaio-Beno and Brahmachari Bhaio-Beno joined Pujyashree Deepakbhai. The grandeur of this grand Shobhayatra was enhanced by the beautiful dance performance of 250 children of Amba School for Excellence. After entering the Sankul Residence, Pujyashree Deepakbhai did Darshan of the huge idol of Simandhar Swami. Amidst the humming of devotional songs, Pujyashree Deepakbhai did the honors of cutting the ribbon and thus marked the opening of the Vatsalya. Thereafter, with the worship and installation of 11 Kumbhs, and the Aarti of Tirthankar Prabhu Shri Simandhar Swami and Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, Pujyashree Deepakbhai’s auspicious entry happened into the new Vatsalya. Then came the mention of the eagerly awaited ‘unimaginable gift’ for the Mahatmas. In the invaluable gift of Rakhi are the pieces of sandalwood garlands, worn by Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, and such Rakhi would be gifted to every Mahatma who would come to do the Vatsalya Darshan. Listening to this, the entire campus resounded with loud and cheerful applause.  15th August being India’s Independence Day, the local security staff did a parade and Pujyashree Deepakbhai hoisted the national flag. In the morning, after an hour-long Kirtan Bhakti, a special video based on the virtues of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan was shown. For the Mahatmas, ‘Mahaprasad’ arrangements were also made, morning and evening. Thereafter, the gates of the new Vatsalya were opened for the Mahatmas, who flocked in for Darshan of the premises from morning to evening. Approximately 15000 Rakhis were distributed to the Mahatmas. Late evening, the Bhakti programme conducted in the presence of Pujyashree Deepakbhai marked the end of this event. Countless Mahatmas who could not make it to this event, joined in through the live webcast while sitting in their homes. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/new-vatsalya-opening-on-76th-independence-day-2023/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/new-vatsalya-opening-on-76th-independence-day-2023/ Sun, 20 August 2023

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/one-more-trimandir-coming-up-in-mumbai/ One more Trimandir coming up in Mumbai… On July 30th 2023, Pujyashree Deepakbhai was in Mumbai, to perform the Khatmuhurat Ceremony of a grand Trimandir, proposed to be built here, in Thane, Mumbai, India.  Also, Pujyashree was invited, along with Shri Mohan Bhagwatji, to perform the Bhoomi Poojan Ceremony of the Dharmaveer Anand Dighe Cancer Hospital, which is planned to be built under the care and supervision of Tata Memorial Hospital, in an initiative led by Jito, at this location in Thane. The Honorable Chief Minister Shri Eknath Shinde, the Honorable Deputy Chief Minister Shri Devendra Fadnavis, Shri Ajit Pawar, and other respected Ministers and Leaders were also present on this occasion. The temple will be located next to this Hospital, and underneath, there will be a large satsang hall too.  Trimandir, as many of us know, is one-of-a-kind non-sectarian temple, inspired by Param Pujya A. M. Patel, also known as Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, who believed that until 'yours and mine' quarrels persist in religion & society, there cannot be peace in the world. The Dada Bhagwan Foundation has built several such Trimandirs in different locations, including one in Borivali, Mumbai. This Trimandir will turn out to be a wonderful turning point in many people’s life, as Pujyashree Deepakbhai, in His compassionate voice, mentioned this day that,  “Cancer hospital mein rogo se mukti milegi usko aur Trimandir mein anant avatar se sansar rog mein hum bhatke hai, usme se mukti milegi.” meaning “At this Cancer Hospital, one will gain freedom from the diseases in his body, and at Trimandir, one will gain freedom from the ‘world disease’ because of which we have been wandering since infinite lives.” https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/one-more-trimandir-coming-up-in-mumbai/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/one-more-trimandir-coming-up-in-mumbai/ Sat, 19 August 2023

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/guru-purnima-celebration-2023-dallas-us/ Guru Purnima 2023 Every year, the full moon day in the month of Aashaadha (as per the Hindu calendar) is celebrated as the Guru Purnima day!    Why do we celebrate guru purnima? This is a significant day for all spiritual seekers or disciples, as it is the time to worship their Guru. It is the day of praying and asking specifically for their lacking strengths, which are otherwise required to progress on the spiritual path. It is also the day when one’s spiritual resolutions gain more strength by the grace of the revered Guru when prayed for the same.  Disciples feel blessed upon recalling the specific preaching of their Guru that helped them identify their weak areas or inspired them to get stronger to combat the obstacles on their path of progress. They feel connected with their Guru like never before.  This is the beauty of the day, for every Guru Purnima rekindles in the heart of each disciple a spirit of pure surrender of one’s ego into the lotus feet of his Guru, the benefactor of spiritual knowledge. This event gives each one an opportunity to express gratitude and reverence toward the Guru, who very tenderly have held their hands and helped them cross the chasm from the darkness of ignorance to the light of knowledge.    Significance of Guru Purnima Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, ‘Guru is the one whose very sight makes our heads bow.’ Just upon seeing him, our head will bow. That is why if one is a guru, then he must be such that he dissolves all egos. Then you can attain liberation, but not otherwise.  Guru looks after you in every situation that you get placed in, while in His association. He inspires you, guides you, protects you and ensures that you rise above all the difficulties that come your way and reach your ultimate destination. Guru is a beacon of light so that we don’t get lost; a beacon of faith such that we never lose hope. Only the one who is living and present can help you, so on this auspicious occasion of Gurupurnima, let us all take this opportunity to resolve that we shall always be sincerely willing to listen, accept and introspect upon whatever our Guru points out to us, as His ultimate goal is our spiritual progress.   Guru Purnima Celebration at Dallas, USA. Like every year, this year too, the Dada Bhagwan Foundation together celebrated this auspicious occasion of Guru Purnima in the divine presence of Pujyashree Deepakbhai Desai, the living Gnani, on 3rd July in Dallas.  On this day, Pujyashree gave a useful and practical message to be followed by all Mahatmas (Akram Science Followers) across the world until the next Guru Purnima day. This message was, ‘With Gnan, see pride (maan) separate from You’. When one does not have Gnan (the right knowledge of the Self), in that state of ignorance, one is always seated on the foundation of pride. It is only after the Gnan, gained from Self-Realization, that things begin to change.  Now, to see pride separate, it is important to first recognize it. For instance, a disliking toward being insulted or even the fear of being insulted is a symptom of pride. In many cases, the hunger for pride is so severe that if even a trivial insult happens, one decides to leave the spiritual discourse sessions (Satsangs) and even leave the Spiritual Path and drift away from that person who insulted. Furthermore, negativity may arise. Pride deforms one so much that one gets desperate for fame, keeps hunting for it here and there, runs behind it trying to set an impression upon others, then gets greedy for praise and applause, and gets intoxicated with the ego, “I am something, I know everything.” Now, if some insult or abuse comes, one feels like running away from there. One protects pride so much that one gets ready to break even the most precious or beneficial relationship instead of leaving this pride. Therefore, recognize pride and see it separate so that it dissolves with Gnan!!! Pujyashree further humbly upheld that once the pride dissolves, we experience Moksha here itself! So, we will remain aware; we don’t want to leave Satsang; we don’t want to leave Seva; we even don’t want to leave Dada; we want to leave this pride. Such was His compassionate guidance, reiterating each detrimental action, triggered by pride, to be avoided for progressing toward salvation! Thereafter, Pujyashree narrated the Jagat Kalyan Samayik (a short prayer for the salvation of this world). Amidst the chanting of prayers and hymns, all devotees, along with Pujyashree, did ritualistic worship (pujan) and waved lamps (aarti) in front of Lord Shree Simandhar Swami and Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, followed by Pujyashree’s darshan wherein a live connection with Him was established through eye contact. This event shall continue until 6th July, 2023. So, in case you've missed the beginning, you can still join in for the remaining sessions.  Registration Link: https://usevents.dadabhagwan.org/  https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/guru-purnima-celebration-2023-dallas-us/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/guru-purnima-celebration-2023-dallas-us/ Wed, 05 July 2023 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/71st-birthday-celebration-of-pujyashree-deepakbhai/ Happy Birthday Pujyashree!!! 9th May – is a very special day, for on this day, Nature gifted us our precious Pujyashree! This year, the birthday celebrations began with a one-hour Kirtan Bhakti, where every Mahatma prayed for a long and healthy life of Pujyashree, so that He could carry out the Jagatklayan work without any obstruction or interruption whatsoever. At about 10am, Pujyashree first did the darshan of Simandhar Swami, located within his premises and then He drew down to Mandir, where along with Simandhar Swami, He took the blessings of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan and the other Gods and Goddesses too. He also went to Samadhi to take the special blessings of dear Pujya Niruma.  During this time, every nook and corner of the Trimandir campus was overflowing with Mahatmas, eagerly waiting to have just one glimpse of their Gnani. As Pujyashree moved, whether in car or on foot, on Him only, was every eye glued; and on their lips was an ecstatic smile, which even on their own birthday, one would never find.  “Happy Birthday Pujyashree”, “Long live Pujyashree”, “Wish you a healthy and blissful life Pujyashree”,… were the kind of wishes gushing out from the bottom of every heart! Also this time, there was a unique ‘Sukhdi distribution’ programme, planned on this occasion. A few days prior to the event, an announcement was made that we all Mahatmas shall prepare Sukhdi (a Gujarati sweet) at home, and bring it to the Venue Kitchen (the Distribution Centre) for the other Mahatmas.  The whole idea was designed based on Pujyashree’s heartfelt desire that we all learn to give happiness (Sukh) to others, as the Universal principle is such that when we give happiness, we get happiness. Hence, this Sukhdi distribution programme! Interesting, isn’t it?! This idea appealed to all the Mahatmas; and therefore, almost every home in Simandhar City participated in this event. As the clock struck 4pm, thousands of grams of Sukhdi started pouring in from the entire township, which went on until late evening. And mind you, this wasn’t a one-way street; every Mahatma that brought in Sukhdi, in return, took back home a lot of Sukhdi brought by others too. Thus, a perfect illustration of what you give is what you get, when you give happiness (Sukhdi), you get happiness (Sukhdi) ☺!! The atmosphere in the entire kitchen area was oozing with positivity and love all over. Also, on this special day, at 8pm, a grand Spiritual Concert was organized at the Dada Bhagwan Convention Centre, so that Mahatmas could spend some time with Pujyashree, doing bhakti and celebrating this special day along with their Gnani. While on one hand, through the beautiful devotional songs, Mahatmas paid their heart-felt obeisance in the lotus feet of Gnani, on the other, little kids enchanted their hearts through their beautiful dance performance. The icing on the cake were Pujyashree’s blessings that ended the programme. He said that let us all support the Dada’s goal of, “Whosoever I meet must experience happiness (Sukh)“, and thus decide today that, “May no living being be caused slightest hurt, such be our words, actions and thoughts!”  https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/71st-birthday-celebration-of-pujyashree-deepakbhai/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/71st-birthday-celebration-of-pujyashree-deepakbhai/ Thu, 11 May 2023

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/palitana-tirth-yatra-2023/ Palitana Tirth Jatra with Pujyashree  In the auspicious presence of Pujyashree Deepakbhai, the Dada Bhagwan Foundation had organized a beautiful 4-days Jatra between Feb 9 to Feb 12 on the holy land of Palitana, located in Gujarat, India.  At Palitana, the mountain popularly known as Shatrunjay Giriraj is an utmost sacred pilgrimage place, where Lord Rishabhdev Bhagwan, the first Tirthankar of the present time cycle, is the prime deity. It is said that barring Lord Neminath, rest of the 23 Tirthankars have visited this Tirth and countless of great Souls have attained salvation from here. There are 863 temples, largely made of marble, housed on this 1 mountain. Also, on one of the hillocks is a mosque of Angaarsha Pir, a pious Muslim saint, who saved all of these temples during an invasion by the Mughal Kings in the 14th century.  A good strength of people (almost 15000 in number) from all over India and the rest of the world joined Pujyashree Deepakbhai in this Jatra. While climbing the holy mountain along with Him, they also climbed up a big way on their spiritual ladder. That’s the reason why Gnani Purush calls Jatra a Jackpot for the Mahatmas! This Jatra to Palitana indeed proved to be a super-Jackpot as Mahatmas kept counting their blessings (until they lost the count) wherever they go, be it in the Bhakti program with Pujyashree on the banks of the holy Shatrunjay river in Rohishala. The blessings continued to flow from Gnani onto the Mahatmas as they joined Him in the worship at Hastgiri, the Taleti Mandir and the Samosaran Mandir. On the actual day of climbing the mountain i.e. on the 11th Feb 2023, the atmosphere on the entire Giriraj was simply electrifying, full of Bhakti and joy! Many Mahatmas started their yatra very early in the morning. Pujyashree too soon arrived at the Taleti (foothill), recited the Trimantra, and along with a lot of Mahatmas, He began his grand Yatra. As the pilgrims were on their way up to do the Lord Rishabhdev’s and the other Prabhu’s darshan, they were quite excited to get Pujyashree’s darshan as well, at different places, at different times, individually and in groups, not once, twice, thrice… no wonder how many times! Amidst the scorching heat, His darshan came in like a cool breeze everytime; vitalizing everyone’s body and energizing each one’s Soul!  After worshipping the grand and majestic idol of Lord Rishabhdev Bhagwan, adjacent to this temple, there is a temple of Lord Simandhar Swami, the Living Tirthankar at the Mahavideh Kshetra, with whose blessings and grace, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan was able to offer Akram Vignan to the people here of the Bharatkshetra; so all the Darshanarthis did Prabhu’s Darshan at this temple as well. Then, on the last day i.e. the 12th of February, Gnanvidhi (Self-Realization Ceremony) was conducted, where amongst thousands of Shravak-Shravikas, few of the Sadhus-Sadhvis and Acharya Maharaj attained Gnan (Self-Realization) as well! On completion of the Gnan-vidhi on this most sacred soil of Palitana, the spiritually charged Mahatmas finally paid their last obeisance for now to all the Revered Tirthankars and the sacred Souls seated here and moved on for their journey back home, as Pujyashree left for his next Satsang location at Savarkundla!!! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/palitana-tirth-yatra-2023/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/palitana-tirth-yatra-2023/ Thu, 16 February 2023

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/bhupendrabhai-patel-meets-pujyashree-at-trimandir-adalaj/ After the swearing-in Ceremony, Honourable Chief Minister, Shri Bhupendrabhai Patel, visited the Adalaj Trimandir Sankul to take the blessings of Pujyashree Deepakbhai Desai. He was welcomed by the Sankul Members with great respect and love. Soon after, he garlanded and worshipped the idols of Lord Simandhar Swami and Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan there. The Chief Minister then bowed down in the feet of Pujyashree Deepakbhai to take His special blessings before resuming his duty for the second term. Along with the blessings, Pujyashree Deepakbhai gave him a golden advice that, “Without any desire for sex, money or power, proceed on the path of your duty, exercising due care to use the power you have been graced with for the benefit of all, reaching out to the smallest of the citizens. Stretch out your help to every person, in a manner that s/he gets relief not only from his worldly life sufferings but upto the point where s/he is able to secure even the ultimate peace. Our blessings are with you! May you take forward Dada’s jagatkalyan work to greater heights! And in response to the trust that the people of state of Gujarat have reposed in you, may you render a great service to them until your last breath.” Later, Pujyashree gifted him a momento and recommended that, “To recognize the Gnani Purush, very heartily, please do an in-depth study of this treatise, “Gnani Purush”. This book includes various episodes from the life-sketch of Dada. May your life be spent in the service of public!” Honourable CM shared with Pujyashree Deepakbhai that, “Our Honourable Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, also insists that our perseverance should be such that even the smallest person in the society should not face any difficulty. So please bless me, so that I am able to render good service to people, with complete dedication and total purity.” Pujyashree Deepakbhai, in His humble words, suggested, “Yes, my blessings are with you! Ask for strength from Dada and all day long, do your work with that energy. With the energy of Dada Bhagwan, with the blessings of Niruma, and with the help of Shasan Dev-Devis, may a lot of good work be done! Have prayed to Dada, and with all our blessings, may you go ahead with this work of lok-kalyan, without any interruption and without any hassle! Jai Satchitanand!” Thereafter, CM Bhupendrabhai Patel went to Trimandir and worshipped Lord Simandhar Swami, Lord Krishna, Lord Shiva and took the blessings of all the deities there too.   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/bhupendrabhai-patel-meets-pujyashree-at-trimandir-adalaj/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/bhupendrabhai-patel-meets-pujyashree-at-trimandir-adalaj/ Wed, 14 December 2022

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dada-bhagwans-115th-janma-jayanti/ This year, it was Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s ‘115th’ Janma Jayanti!!! A grand celebration of this event happened in the auspicious presence of Pujyashree Deepakbhai at Mehsana, Gujarat, India, alongwith thousands of Mahatmas who enjoyed this event together, with great respect and reverence for their Gnani, a firm faith and conviction for the Gnan received from this Gnani, and the enormous enthusiasm and fervor for Gnani’s words and His work (Seva) flowing in every heart! The celebrations commenced on the 3rd of November, 2022 with a grand Opening Ceremony. Amidst the beautiful lyrics of the theme song ‘Aayo, aayo, aayo, maara Dada no janmotsav aayo!’ energizing the atmosphere, Pujyashree made an enthralling entry on the event Ground as every person present there was eager and keen to have one glimpse of this icon of purity when he passed by them. Pujyashree inaugurated the event with lighting of the lamp and His humble words, “Let’s see the pure Soul in every living being and pray to Dada for their supreme well-being!” Then began the cultural programme, featuring a nice dance performance from kids dressed in traditional outfits, followed by a skit that inspired us all to always remain positive irrespective of the adversities that we may come across in life. Thereafter, Pujyashree reiterated the message that He had given us on the Guru-Purnima Day as the ‘Homework’ for the year which was ‘See Positive and Remain Happy’; and explained how this is best enabled by the application of the Right Vision that we have received from Gnani to see the ‘Pure’ in the Real and the ‘Positive’ in the Relative!!! More than 2,00,000 people attended this event! The Honorable Chief Minister Shri Bhupendrabhai Patel and the Former Chief Minister Rajnibhai too visited here, on the 4th of November and they took special blessings from Pujyashree. Every day, thousands of people availed of the beautiful Theme park and the Children’s Park, meant to kindle the right understanding that helps each one live a happy, harmonious and blissful life. The entry fee was absolutely zero, and there was also the facility of ‘Kids Care’ so that parents could conveniently spend quality time at every dome, without having to worry about their children. While the thriller multimedia drama show ‘Vikram Vetal Return’, teaching the significance of humanity in life, was a sheer delight; most practical tips gained in the ‘Parents ki Pathshala’ to reduce the generation gap and make a healthy difference in their child’s life, made all the parents feel quite light. As the show ‘A M Patel to Dada Bhagwan’ provided people a glimpse into Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s journey of life; ‘Main Kaun Hoon’ intrigued in them a desire to know who really am I amidst this web of relationships that surrounds me. Equally exciting were the bustling Puppet show and the Courage Lab domes in the Children’s Park, where each, in their playful and interesting way, taught children the basic lesson of living a harmonious life in a manner such that no living being is caused slightest hurt by them. On one hand, the Web Duniya and Baal-Vignan counters served Gnan to keep one’s Soul healthy and on the other, the Food Court was busy serving delicious food to keep their bodies fit and going! A huge number of people attended Pujyashree’s Satsang, the most major attraction of this event, in person, and there were ample of them glued onto their mobile / TV sets at their office / home as well, attending the same online. By hook or by crook, one wanted to remain hooked on with their beloved Pujyashree, the most precious instrument, nominated by Param Pujya Dadashri himself to continue the mission of Jagat Kalyan and thus create a miracle in people’s day-to-day life by making their salvation possible in just 2 hours’ time!!! On Nov 6, 2022, thousands of people took Gnan (Self-Realization) and got their Soul awakened with the grace of Gnani!!! On the Day of Janmajayanti, Nov 7, 2022, the atmosphere on the venue Ground was totally mesmerizing. More than 16000 people availed of Pujyashree's special darshan on this day and asked for special strength from Gnani to help combat their inner weaknesses that bog them down on the path of liberation.     https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dada-bhagwans-115th-janma-jayanti/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dada-bhagwans-115th-janma-jayanti/ Fri, 11 November 2022

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/diwali-and-new-year-celebration-at-adalaj-trimandir/ Diwali 2022 gifted a beautiful experience of freedom from darkness to all the Mahatmas… Freedom from the dark fear of Corona and more importantly, freedom from the darkness of intellect-created divides and the resultant miseries and unhappiness in life! On October 24, being the Diwali day, thousands of Mahatmas visited Trimandir Adalaj to worship Lord Mahavir, who attained Nirvana (freedom from the cycle of birth and death) on this day. They also took the blessings of Lord Simandhar Swami, the Living Tirthankar, from whom we are to attain the freedom from the cycle of birth and death, and Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, who has kept the path of liberation lighted even in this severe Kalyug. Then, as the sky dusked, the beautiful lighting on the streets and the trees, on the walls and in the halls illuminated every corner of the Trimandir Adalaj campus. While the enchanting Diwali lamps outside every Mahatma’s home dispelled the outer darkness of the New Moon day, Pujyashree, with His divine presence, kindled the light of joy in every heart of His beloved Mahatmas! In the evening, during the special Bhakti programme, after the choisest devotional songs being sung by Mahatmas, when Pujyashree, in His turn, sang an awesome unheard devotional song, it left the audience spellbound! As the words spilled from Pujyashree’s lips, it captivated the chit of the Mahatmas so much so that the entire environment of the Dada Bhagwan Convention Hall, where this Bhakti was held, oozed a strong feeling of oneness (abhedta) within! "While Diwali signifies the Nirvana of Lord Mahavir, it also marks the Keval-Gnan of Gautam Swami, His prime disciple", said Pujyashree! Mahatmas enjoyed to their heart’s content a splendid New Year celebration as they got to pass the entire day in the divine presence of their dearest Pujyashree! Early in the morning, the Honorable Chief Minister of Gujarat, Mahatma Bhupendrabhai Patel, visited Trimandir Adalaj to take the blessings of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan. Later, when Pujyashree arrived at the temple, all the Mahatmas, together with Him, did the New Year Darshan of all the deities, and the Annakut too. Pujyashree offered a variety of items as prasad to Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, and graciously distributed chocolates to the crowd present in the temple. He then performed the vidhi, granting strength to every Mahatma, for following the ‘Paanch Aagnas’.Thereafter, Pujyashree came to the Dada Bhagwan Convention Hall, where He delivered the message for the New year, which was, “See positive and remain happy!” Through this message, He also invoked in Mahatmas, the inner awareness to see our ego and the intellect, the duo-generators of the anger-pride-deceit-greed which doesn’t allow us to see the positives in the other person, and as a result, makes us miserable. Soon after the message, Pujyashree once again performed Vidhi to help us all progress on the path of liberation. Thereafter, the Mahatmas who had poured in from all over the world to attend this event in person, almost more than 10000 in number, queued up in a line and one-by-one touched the feet of Pujyashree (after more than two years of Corona) and looking into His eyes, did the Darshan of the Divine!!! This went on for almost the entire day! Mahatmas, in the divine presence of the Gnani, asked for strength to come out of their respective weaknesses and progress on the path enlightened by Him. And the Gnani, on His part, graciously blessed everyone as this verily is His own heart-felt desire that, ‘May every living being in this world attain the happiness that I have attained!’  https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/diwali-and-new-year-celebration-at-adalaj-trimandir/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/diwali-and-new-year-celebration-at-adalaj-trimandir/ Sat, 29 October 2022

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-birthday-pujyashree-2022/ Happy Birthday Pujyashree!!! We all know that the country of India is a country of spirituality. For centuries, this sacred land has born countless saints and Gnanis (the Enlightened beings), under whose care, the country’s cultural and ethical fabric has taken shape and with whose nurture, people’s inner urge for spiritual progress is invoked and inspired. May 9th is the birthday of one such Atmagnani, born in this great country. A mere glance of His makes everyone pray, ‘By observing You, May I become as Humble as You!’ On His birthday, He, despite being an Atmagnani  revered by all, bows down with utmost humility before all of us and seeks our blessings for carrying out the work of salvation of the world, assigned to Him by Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan and Pujya Niruma, until His last breath, with complete purity. This gesture is quite overwhelming, as we get to see an outright reflection of His humble being! He is so divinely blessed that whatever He wishes or prays for, His prayers are answered in no time!! Yet, He bows and asks for blessings from all of us. Such is the Humility that forms His core, and that is why everyone loves Him more and more! We all may have heard, “Namey te sahu ne Gamey”, meaning ‘Everyone likes a person who is humble’ While explaining what being humble means, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “To bend down completely to the other person, even before that person has gestured to bend down a little, to bend down even if that person is arrogant or inflexible with him. Otherwise, what is human nature like? To retaliate and show arrogance, if the other person is being arrogant. But to yield in at that time is a sign (of humility that suggests) he is heading towards ultimate liberation.” This is exactly how Pujyashree is. Any Seva without anger, pride, greed and deceit, goes towards the side of liberation (Moksha) The service of imparting knowledge of the Self to the spiritual seekers and resolving their queries such that they can reach their destination, is rendered by Pujyashree very much without anger, pride, greed and deceit; with all the nobility, humanity and commitment, maintaining total sincerity and utmost purity. That’s the reason why even the most elderly want to follow Him! Pujyashree Deepakbhai explains: “When a tree gets fruits on it, do the branches start bending or do they stand upright? They bend…. As the person develops, he becomes more humble, more courteous. The ego then does not interfere and meddle. Even when one has the authority and power, he does not exercise it. He would always believe, ‘I am smaller than everyone here.’ A person with good values is full of humility.” Anyone who Sees Him wants to Become like Him!  But how? Pujya Deepakbhai teaches how we also can develop this virtue of humility: “It is very simple. If we see someone being rigid, not bending, at that time, we should not see his mistake or get agitated that, ‘what type of a person is he?... He is a useless person.’ We should not look at his faults. On the contrary, we should think, ‘Oh! We do not like what he is doing. But in case something similar happens to us, do we also do the same (behave in the manner the other person did)?’ We should check that! Then we will find that even we tend to make similar mistakes as him. If we look within and repent for our mistake, then we will be rid of that mistake. And if someone is straightforward, humble and down to earth, we must feel, ‘He has such good qualities.’ By appreciating these qualities in others, we too will acquire them!” Pujyashree Deepakbhai is called an Atmagnani because He dwells in the experience of the Soul. And for us, the followers of Gnani, Gnani verily is our own Soul! So on this day, when it is Pujya Deepakbhai’s birthday, with absolute humility and oneness, to Him let us all pray, ‘By observing You, May I become as Humble as You!’ And with His gracious blessings, we shall surely get there!   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-birthday-pujyashree-2022/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-birthday-pujyashree-2022/ Sat, 07 May 2022

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mothers-day-2022/ Happy Mother’s Day!   A very Happy Mother’s Day to all the lovely Moms in the world! As you may know, every year, the second Sunday in May, is specially marked as the International Mother’s Day for the celebration of motherhood. Mother is the person who has done more for us than anyone in the world! The contribution of hers is unparalleled, for she is aware of her child’s needs more than anyone else. To start with, she is the one who brought us into this world! And even before we came into this world, did we have to worry about any of the arrangements to be done? No! She provided us the shelter and took good care of us while we were cosily residing in her womb. And when it was time for our arrival on this Earth, it was our Mother, who meticulously made sure that everything that was essential for us was made available to us, in time – our baby-cap, the hand-gloves, the socks, blankets, bib, diaper, the maternity ward and the rest – everything was kept all ready, isn’t it?! And then, it was this mother that taught us how to talk, walk and going ahead, face life. This is the reason why the Mother holds a special position in every child’s life! ‘Mother’ happens to be the most naturally secured abode for any child. The warmth of her love is like a hard shell wherein the child feels very safe. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan has beautifully described how the love of a Mother is the highest form of worldly love. A mother herself may be illiterate, but the efforts she takes for her child’s education is nothing less than a well-educated mother. Similarly, where the family is not financially sound, the mother has the expert knack to manage the household expenses such that she always has enough for her child’s education and other basic needs and to fulfil her child’s wishes too, somehow. Even in the cruellest of circumstances, a mother does not crumble, only so that her children should not feel the void. She holds her ground strongly so that her little ones can soar to great heights. In every struggle of life, the blessings of mother play a crucial role. Whether she is present or has passed away, she is before our eyes or away from us, her blessings walk along with her child, always!! The prime responsibility of grooming the child is assigned to the ‘Mother’ This role of mothers is not at all easy. Yet, every mother, in her own little ways, tries her best to help her child grow into a good human being. And the sacrifices that she makes for this purpose cannot be expressed in words. In the lullabies she sings when her child is in the cradle or the stories of saints and Enlightened Ones she narrates when her child is growing up, at every step of life, she is guiding and directing her child to do what’s right from the religious, or still better, the spiritual standpoint…. just like Jijamata left no stone unturned to mould Shivaji into a brave warrior and like Ma Jashoda who, although had not given birth to Krishna, but nurtured Him with such love and warmth that her Baby Krishna grew up into the most revered Vasudev Krishna! So come, let’s do something special for all the Mothers of the world, this year! Let us all children make a Mother’s day special prayer to God, “Dear God, Please bless our Moms with the strength to render this special role of ‘Mother’ that has been conferred upon them, in the best possible manner; such that they are able to successfully build a strong foundation of strong ethical and moral values while bringing up their children - making them truthful, courageous, fearless and virtuous and then graciously gift these children for the service of society and the salvation of the world!” https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mothers-day-2022/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mothers-day-2022/ Thu, 05 May 2022

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/shri-simandhar-swamis-janma-kalyanak-2022/ Lord Simandhar Swami is the Living Tirthankar (a Living God). ‘Tirthankar’ is a very rare and the ultimate status that one can attain in this world! A Tirthankara is One, who in his penultimate human birth, harbours an extraordinary strong intent that of ‘Sarva Jeev Karu Shaasan Rasi (May I inspire every living being towards salvation)’. The energy of this intent is so strong that he ends up creating the most auspicious Tirthankar-naam-karma. A Living Tirthankar’s power is such - by his mere Darshan, a deserving person attains Keval Gnan! To grace people with Keval Gnan (the final spiritual state of absolute Self-knowledge) is the sole privilege of a Living Tirthankara only, no one else can! But as we all know, Lord Mahavir, the 24th Tirthankar of the present time half-cycle, has already attained Nirvana and has reached Moksha almost 2600 years ago. In fact, all the 24 Tirthankars have left this Universe before the end of the 4th era and have become Siddh Bhagwan now. Namo Siddhanam! We offer our heart-felt obeisance to all the Siddhas!!! So Bharat Kshetra today is without any Living Tirthankara and it shall remain so until the next Tirthankara will be born at the beginning of the third era of the next time half-cycle, which means almost another 81,500 years. Consequently, one cannot attain Keval Gnan (Absolute Knowledge) and then ultimate liberation (Moksha), from the Bharat Kshetra (where we live today) in the present time. Although no Living Tirthankar is in Bharat Kshetra, 20 Tirthankars are alive in Mahavideh Kshetra Today is the Janma Kalyanak of all the 20 Tirthankars, living in the Mahavideh Kshetra. And of these, Shree Simandhar Swami Bhagwan is the closest to our Bharat Kshetra. Also, he has a subtle bond with our Kshetra as a result of his past karmic deeds. Hence, by praying sincerely to this present Tirthankar, Arihant Simandhar Swami, we, the living beings residing in this Bharat Kshetra right now, can certainly go to him in our next life and with his grace, attain Keval Gnan and ultimate Nirvan. Namo Arihantanam! We offer our heart-felt obeisance to the Arihant Bhagwan!!! Moreover, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan always said that when Lord Simandhar Swami's idols and images shall be placed in every home and when these idols and images will be worshipped with deep reverence and His aarti be sung in every home, when His temples are constructed all over, there will be heaven on Earth! Gnani Purush (the Spiritual Master) is the precious link that takes us to Lord Simandhar Swami In the present condition, here in the Bharat-Kshetra, Aatma-Gnan can be received only from the Living Gnani! And after receiving Aatma-Gnan, when we finish our karma of the Bharat-Kshetra, thereafter one more birth remains, which happens near Lord Simandhar Swami. There, when we finish all our karmic accounts, we reach Keval Gnan i.e. the Absolute Knowledge of Pure Soul. And when that life ends, we attain Nirvaan, the ultimate salvation, after which there is no birth and rebirth. Thus, the Living Gnani Purush is our primary link today for our ultimate salvation. Our heart-felt obeisance to the Living Gnani!!! Our present Human life is invaluable We are already in the 5th Era. And the 6th Era is the next to come, when there will be neither religion nor anything like humanity shall exist at all. Therefore, now that we have got this precious human life and since we’ve been fortunate enough to have received these important learnings in this life, which help us know that: there is Moksha (the ultimate liberation), there is this Living Tirthankar, Lord Simandhar Swami, born in the Mahavideh Kshetra, through whom we can receive Keval Gnan (Absolute Knowledge) and reach to Moksha and there is this Living Gnani, through whom we can receive Aatma-Gnan and reach to Lord Simandhar Swami,  Let us absorb these learnings deep into our heart and make it our goal that: this human life is for the purpose of attaining the Soul from Gnani and by following his words finishing all our karmas of Bharat-Kshetra, and not for living a life doing raag-dvesh(Attachment and Abhorrence), or doing yours and mine, or indulging in good and bad, in Moha (Illusory attachment) and Kapat(Deceit), in jealousy and envy, or remaining engrossed in passions of anger, pride, deceit and greed. So come, on this auspicious day, let’s pray with all our heart to Shree Simandhar Swami that, ‘Oh Lord Simandhar Swami, May all meet Gnani’s grace in this life and with His grace, may we become worthy enough to reach You soon!’ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/shri-simandhar-swamis-janma-kalyanak-2022/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/shri-simandhar-swamis-janma-kalyanak-2022/ Sat, 23 April 2022

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mahavir-jayanti-2022/ Happy Mahavir Jayanti! Mahavir Jayanti is also known as the Mahavir Janma Kalyanak! Janma Kalyanak refers to the event when the Soul of a Tirthankar is born; ‘Janma’ meaning birth and ‘Kalyanak’ meaning an auspicious event for all the living beings in this world. So today is an auspicious day, celebrated across the world, in the loving memory of the birth of Bhagwan Mahavir, the 24th Tirthankar! Tirthankar is the greatest title in the world. Tirthankar means the founder of the Tirth (a crossing place or ford), meaning He helps people cross the sea of innumerable births and deaths in the world! Although every moment of the life of Tirthankar is auspicious, the five Kalyankas (the Panch Kalayanak), namely Chyavan Kalyanak, Janma Kalyanak (marks the advent of the Soul of Tirthankar into this world), Diksha Kalyanak (renounces all his worldly ties), Keval Gnan Kalyanak (becomes fully Omniscient) and Nirvana Kalyanak (the Tirthankar’s Soul is absolutely free of all karma and thus liberated from the worldly existence forever), signify the most auspicious events in His life! As and when these events happen, the heavenly Gods come down to Earth and celebrate each Kalyanak with great pomp and splendour, in worship of the Tirthankar Lord, with enormous reverence, faith and devotion. Lord Mahavira was born in the early part of the 6th century BCE, in a royal family in Bihar, India. When He was in his mother’s womb, wealth, prosperity, peace, harmony, everything started increasing tremendously. Hence, the royal parents named their little prince as Vardhamana, meaning, ever increasing! He was born with the symbol (laanchhan) of a lion on His body. His skin was golden in colour and His exceptional divine beauty enchanted the hearts of every being that saw Him. When Trishala Mata was resting with her new-born by her side, just then, the celestial Gods and Goddesses arrived and with great devotion and happiness in their hearts, they silently carried the baby to the Meru Mountain to celebrate the Janma Kalyanak Mahotsav. They performed the first abhishek of the little Lord with the purest water collected from various rivers. Even today, devotees perform the Snatra Puja, a ritual signifying the Janma Kalyanak, in which the idol of Tirthankar is bathed, symbolising the Indra doing Abhishek on Tirthankara on Mount Meru after the birth of Tirthankar. When the celestial Gods began to pour the water onto the baby, ShakraDev, in whose lap the little Lord was seated, got a bit worried that how would such a small baby bear so much of water coming onto him. Lord Mahavir, sensing the celestial God’s concern, pressed the mountain down with his toe, demonstrating his strength! Seeing this, Shakra Dev sung a hymn in the praise of Lord’s glory. ‘Vardhamana Mahavira’ - a name, just listening to which, one feels happy and overwhelmed One day, while observing Lord Mahavir in meditation, Indra Dev (the Chief Celestial God) exclaimed, "There is no one as brave and fearless and as serene and equanimous meditator as you. You are Mahaveer (meaning ‘most courageous’)!" During his lifespan, Bhagwan Mahavir helped numerous people attain Kevalgnan and Moksha and many others, in His shelter, made incredible progress on the path of liberation. One can attain ultimate liberation from this world, only and only in the presence of the living God, not otherwise. The 24 Tirthankara of Jainism have become Siddha. Therefore now, the Living Gnani is the only link, with whose help, we can attain Self-Realization and reach the living Tirthankar, Shree Simandhar Swami. Lord Simandhar Swami is the living God, the Vartman Tirthankar! So on this day of the Mahavir Jayanti celebration, our prayer to Lord Vardhamana Mahavir is, “Dear Lord, May every being in this world meet the Living Gnani Purush, who will hold our hand and help us attain Moksha, like You did.” Happy Mahavir Jayanti!!! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mahavir-jayanti-2022/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mahavir-jayanti-2022/ Tue, 12 April 2022

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-nirumas-punyatithi-2022/ Pujya Niruma’s Punyatithi We have always heard from our elders that live your life in such a way that you are remembered forever! To be remembered forever means to have accomplished something that stays in the world even after one’s mortal body has departed. On 19th March and every year, thousands of people across the globe, remember Pujya Niruma for her love that resides in every heart. Dr. Niruben Amin, lovingly addressed as 'Niruma', was a prominent disciple of Gnani Purush Ambalal Patel, who is reverently known as “Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan” or “Dadashri”. Under His guidance, she became an accomplished Spiritual Master and continued His work of introducing people to the phenomenal science of Akram Vignan.  The journey of becoming Pujya Niruma (the Mother of the world) did not happen overnight! Having completed the medical studies, her father had plans to build a hospital for Her. However, the Doctor Niruma had a different plan in her mind. She thought, ‘As a medical doctor, I can only alleviate physical ailments of people. And if I were to serve the Gnani, I can help so many people suffering from mental, emotional and worldly ailments, as Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan would be able to liberate them from their sufferings with this unique knowledge of Akram Vignan. There are so many doctors to help people with their health, but there is only one Gnani Purush to liberate them!' Thus, She resolved that there could be nothing better than spending her life helping Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan spread this knowledge that instilled peace and liberated people from worries and suffering. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan clearly understood her unflinching desire for the salvation of the world. He started grooming her and like a sculptor, molded her from all angles, carving away all the weaknesses and imperfections within her, to reveal the underlying idol of purity and love, that was perfect for the purpose of Jagat kalyan. Niruma too accepted and yielded to this process with utmost humility and complete surrender; and remained in constant oneness with Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, knowing in her heart that any undertaking by the Gnani is always for her ultimate salvation. Staying in His service for 20 long years not only transformed her into a divine human being but it also prepared her to take up a bigger role of becoming the Mother of the whole world. In 1987, greatly satisfied with Niruben’s progress, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, in His final days, declared,  "I am very pleased with you Niruben. This Niruben is a great instrument for the world's salvation. Niruben, you will have to become a mother to the whole world. Whenever Niruben wants, Dadashri will speak from within." Thus, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan blessed Niruben with His special spiritual powers so that she too could grace others with Self Realization and continue His work. She in turn, dedicated her life to serve Gnani & for Gnani’s mission of world's salvation and in course of time became an icon of pure love. On March 19 2006, as Pujya Niruma passed away in a state of absolute Samadhi, Her final message to us was, "Live with Love! Promise?" When physically present, her unconditional love touched the hearts of people at large. And even today, everyone actually feels the spiritual presence of Pujya Niruma in Simandhar City, and are assured that the moment they pray to her heartily, She is always there to help! So come, on this occasion of Pujya Niruma’s Punyatithi, let us all take special blessings from Pujya Niruma & Pujyashree Deepakbhai, and make a hearty prayer to them that, “Please give us strength to serve Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s mission in our own little ways and bless us all that, may we also become an icon of pure love as You.” https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-nirumas-punyatithi-2022/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-nirumas-punyatithi-2022/ Wed, 16 March 2022

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujyashree-gnan-day-2022/ Happy Gnan Day Pujyashree !!! What’s the response we generally receive from people, when asked, “Where do you see yourself five to ten years down the line?” Irrespective of the career one may choose or the function one may execute in life, most of us aspire to become famous – someone who is well received everywhere as a leader, whom people look up to and wish to follow. And what are the usual ways that people adopt to scale up to heights of fame? Personal accomplishments, personality development, or making some positive contribution to the society is what one normally sets as a goal, in order to prove his excellence to the world. However today, let’s get introduced to one very unconventional but an absolutely pure, scientific and authentic way to get to the top, wherefrom you can effortlessly influence people’s life in such a magnanimous way, that each one, very happily and lovingly dedicates his entire life voluntarily for the welfare of one’s own self as well as others. Hard to believe, isn’t it? But we have a living example right before our eyes who has made this possible… Yes, he’s none other than our beloved Pujya Deepakbhai, whom we reverently call, ‘Pujyashree’!!! At the tender age of 17, while studying engineering, Pujya Deepakbhai was fortunate to meet Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, the Enlightened One and attain Self Realization from Him on March 6, 1971. This spiritual experience of Self-Realization ignited within Pujya Deepakbhai, a thirst for an in-depth learning and understanding of the phenomenal knowledge of Akram Vignan. Despite his involvement in his career, his heart remained with Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan all the time, with a great longing for understanding His given science. Also, he well realized the magnitude of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s task of world salvation and hence decided to dedicate his life for this noble cause. And ever since then, there has been no looking back! He spent all his spare time in helping Pujya Niruma serve Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan. He carried out every task assigned to him with utmost sincerity, no matter how menial those tasks were (sweeping the floor, preparing for satsangs and Gnan Vidhis, putting out floor mats, picking flowers off the floor, folding and putting away floor mats and running errands). Alongside, he also assisted Pujya Niruma with recording, writing, compiling and editing Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan's satsangs for books and other publications. Recognizing that Pujya Deepakbhai is a sincere lad with a sincere heart, one day in 1974, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan told Pujya Niruma, "Deepak has a lot of sincerity in him. If someone were to develop and mould him, he would reach the pinnacle of any direction he is guided." And that’s what exactly happened! After Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan passed away in 1988, Pujya Niruma took over his grooming; and Pujya Deepakbhai, with utmost dedication and devotion continued to support Pujya Niruma in Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s mission of world salvation. Pujya Deepakbhai, an icon of humility, sincerity and purity!!! Sincerity and humility are not mere virtues, but his way of life. These qualities have helped him reach where he is today. Fame acquired through other means either fades away with time or someone else takes over by a bigger achievement, but the height attained through the spiritual path is free from any competition. The vibes of purity and bliss that get generated then, induce rich, richer experiences for Self and also for everyone around. Today, Pujya Deepakbhai continues to grace thousands of seekers around the world through satsangs / Gnan Vidhi (scientific process of Self Realization) and has become instrumental in bringing peace and eternal bliss in the lives of many. So let’s celebrate this day that marked the beginning of his spiritual journey by wishing him to keep progressing ahead on the path of liberation. May he always be healthy and with His divine blessings, may millions of people in this world progress on the spiritual path of Akram Vignan and become an instrument of world salvation themselves!! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujyashree-gnan-day-2022/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujyashree-gnan-day-2022/ Fri, 04 March 2022

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-maha-shivratri-2022/ Happy Maha Shivratri India is a land of festivals. Every region and every culture has their own festivals to celebrate different occasions. Be it the change of weather (Baisakhi etc) or celebrating victory of good over evil (Diwali, Dashera etc) or something with some health related significance (Makarsankranti etc) or other for other situations in life like sowing, planting, and harvesting. Amongst all these festivals, Mahashivratri, that occurs in February-March is of the most spiritual significance. Lord Shiva is known as an ‘Epithet of Enlightened internal state’. Firstly, let’s read about some interesting facts about Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva is Shaivism’s supreme God, and is also known as Lord Mahadev, Lord Mahesh, and Lord Bholenath. In scriptures, He is depicted in the following benevolent forms: An omniscient Yogi leading an ascetic life on Mount Kailash A celestial householder living with His wife Goddess Parvati and sons namely, Lord Ganesha and Lord Kartikeya In His abstract form, Shivji is worshipped as a Lingam, also known as a Shivling. This representation portrays His limitless, transcendent, unchanging and formless qualities. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says that, anyone can become a “Shiva” if he realizes his real Self (the Soul, the Atma). Once a seeker asked Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, “If Atma (the Self) was a Shiva, how did it become a jiva?” Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan replied, “Due to wrong belief, it became jiva - that which lives and dies. One is a Shiva, but illusion has arisen; wrong belief has set in. It does not take long for jiva to become Shiva. When a Gnani Purush fractures the wrong belief and replaces it with the right belief, one becomes the Self again, one becomes Shiva.” So you see it’s easy to progress from the state of “jiva” (identifying oneself as the relative self) to “Shiva”. Furthermore, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan also guides us on the right way of worshipping the Lord at the temple to get the maximum benefit of the worship. He says, go to the temple of the Lord and say, "Dear Lord, You reside within me, but because I have not yet become acquainted with You, I am doing Your darshan here. The Gnani Purush, Dada Bhagwan has taught me this method and I am doing Your darshan according to his instructions. Please bestow Your grace upon me so that I may realize my true Self." Isn’t it interesting to know that even we can attain the state of Shiva if we realize our own Self! On this day of Maha Shivratri, let’s pledge to attain our real Self and transit from ‘jiva’ to ‘Shiva’. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-maha-shivratri-2022/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-maha-shivratri-2022/ Sun, 20 February 2022

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-valentines-day-2022/ Valentine’s day is back again! And for sure, most of you might have your plans ready already for your loved ones! Valentine’s Day is one of the most awaited days of the year as it gives us an opportunity to celebrate love. When celebrating love gives us so much of happiness, how about enhancing this love? That’s definitely the best way to celebrate love, isn’t it?! So come, let’s learn from Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan how we can enhance our love. He explains: “Pure love will increase in proportion to the decrease in differences experienced. What do we need to get rid of in order to develop pure love? One has to be rid of their differences so that pure love can arise. When the differences disappear completely, absolute, pure love is established. This is the only way. People usually say, ‘this is mine and that is yours!’ It is like a disease. Differences exist because of this disease. But when people depart from this world, is there any such thing as mine and yours? Once this disease is eradicated, one will become a personification of love. Love is when there is no falling apart, no separation. The real love does not take account of the other person’s actions. It only looks at the Self within that person. The nature of the Self is love and with such love, one forgets all one’s problems. Once bound through this love, nothing else can bind you.” The main reasons behind conflicts are our unfulfilled expectations, our grudges and our negativity. But even after we realize our mistake and are fully aware so as to not repeat that mistake, very often, the mistake stands to repeat. Therefore, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan advises, “Since you cannot instantly change your behavior, you can ask for forgiveness and this in itself is a way that will help change your behavior. This works scientifically because by asking for forgiveness, you are no longer protecting it and therefore that behavior will cease eventually. Gradually you will experience harmony in your relationship… When does love arise? It is when you ask for forgiveness for all mistakes that have occurred so far. You accept that you and only you are at fault for seeing fault in others. You should take this approach with those for whom you wish to become the embodiment of love. Only then will you feel love. Do you want to love or not? When you become the embodiment of love, others will experience oneness with you. Everyone has attained oneness with me in this manner. This method is being opened up to everyone.” Remember, life is too short for any kind of hatred or vengeance. So on this Valentine’s Day 2022, let us all celebrate love in its true essence by establishing pure love through this simple method of asking for forgiveness from our loved ones for all the mistakes that have happened so far. Happy Valentine’s Day! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-valentines-day-2022/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-valentines-day-2022/ Fri, 11 February 2022

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-new-year-2022/ Happy New Year 2022! Whether your resolves lasted or not, it’s time to resolve all over again! Let’s get ready to welcome a brand new year of 2022! Each day comes with an opportunity; an opportunity to do something better than yesterday. Similarly, each new year begins with new resolutions to progress and move ahead in life. However, in this race of moving ahead further and maximizing our achievements, we often forget about our ultimate goal in life. A kid plays with toys to seek pleasure. When he grows, he studies hard to have a bright future. Based on the education, he looks for a job to gain satisfaction. Then, he marries with the expectation to become a 'happy man'. During all these stages, he feels happy for a while, but it does not last long. Thus, hunting for happiness continues. Days roll on to weeks and months and years but the quest for happiness doesn’t end. To know more about happiness and purpose of our life, let’s read below a conversation between an Enlightened person (Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan) and a seeker… Questioner: What is the purpose of this life? Dadashri - Life is meant for practicing benevolence and serving others. The deepest science behind this is that when one uses his mind, speech and body for serving others, he will have everything. You will not encounter any obstacles in your life if you help others in any way. And the second goal, is to break this bondage of life after life. This human life is for attaining eternal liberation (Moksha) from the bondage of karma. It is for the purpose of becoming ‘Absolute’—fully enlightened; to acquire Self-Realization. Millions of people today have experienced Self Realization and are leading a life free from worries and expectations. Wouldn’t you also like to experience it? How can one attain Self Realization? Just as a goldsmith is required to separate gold from other metals, a Spiritual Master (Gnani Purush) is required to attain Self Realization. With the grace of the Spiritual Master (Gnani Purush), it is possible to achieve this Self Realization via a scientific process called Gnan Vidhi. Humility and an open heart are all you need to receive this invaluable experience. As we all get ready to welcome the new year, let’s take a step ahead and know our ‘real’ Self. Wishing everyone a brand new year, bursting with joy and happiness, and this time… the real happiness! Happy New Year 2022!!! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-new-year-2022/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-new-year-2022/ Wed, 29 December 2021

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/merry-christmas-2021/ Merry Christmas 2021 Come December and the excitement starts building up for one of the most awaited celebrations of the year! No points for guessing; December marks the Christmas time which is the celebration of the birth anniversary of Jesus Christ. The festival is celebrated on 25th December every year around the globe with lots of fervor and excitement by the young and old alike. There are several stories associated with the birth and the life of Jesus Christ. When Jesus was born, the angels had said that the Savior of the world is born. The stories of Jesus are all about how he helped people and guided them on the path of salvation. Jesus had always laid importance on the virtues of helping others and forgiving others. We’ve often heard that, happiness begins from the moment you do something for others. Research also indicates that people who help others are less stressed and experience better mental health. In line with Jesus Christ’s message, the modern day spiritual scientist, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan also says that, “The only purpose of the human life and its essence is this: to use one’s mind, body and speech for others.” Having said that, helping others should be our purpose of life, the next obvious questions arising in your minds might be, ‘Why help others? How do we help others?’ Read further to know what Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says about it. Why should one help others? People often hesitate in helping others thinking that they might lose something if they spend their time or resources on others. But clearing this misconception, Param Pujya Dadashri says that, “You will not incur any loss or experience any obstacles in life if it is spent serving and obliging others.” By helping others, we create a positive impact in the other person’s life, and that person in turn showers his best wishes and blessings on us that help us to advance in life. How can one help others? Helping others can be in different forms. It might not necessarily mean helping people monetarily but sometimes just a kind word or a gesture might suffice to make someone’s day. Param Pujya Dadashri says that, one can help others through their mind, speech and body. If one isn’t able to serve anyone directly, he can just pray for the wellbeing of the other person. Even this might create a profound impact on lives of others. Further Param Pujya Dadashri says that, one shouldn’t differentiate in anyway when it comes to helping others. The trees are the best example for this. Does a mango tree or a neem tree differentiate between whom do they serve? The mangoes belong to whoever takes them. This is what Param Pujya Dadashri refers to as helping with a pure intent. Jesus Christ lived to spread messages of humanity and helping others. On this Christmas, let’s align our celebration with the teachings of great saints and become a messenger of peace and joy ourselves. Let’s become the Santa Claus, who strives to help each one in need and is always happy spreading joy and glee. Merry Christmas 2021!!   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/merry-christmas-2021/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/merry-christmas-2021/ Tue, 21 December 2021

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/international-volunteers-day-2021/ Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, the Enlightened being, has said: “The law of Nature is such that if you give what you have to others, then Nature shall manage all your needs. This is the bottom line of Spiritual Science. This is the sole purpose of this human life. The essence is that your mind, body and speech should be used for others’ benefits, selflessly.” A Strong Determination and Dedication to Serve – The Dada Bhagwan Foundation Sets an Example In India, when the second wave of Covid pandemic became nastier, it triggered many challenges for the healthcare system and the economy as a whole. However, with the tagline of “Manav Mandir ni Seva” meaning ‘Service to the human body which is considered a temple’ and along with the principles of compassion, purity and sincerity, the Dada Bhagwan Foundation, a non-profit spiritual organization’s COVID relief measures were on, in full force. Its frontline and secondary warriors, of whom many were volunteers, relentlessly served both, the local and the remotely located patients across India, 24x7. These volunteers neither bothered about time, meals, rest or any other personal needs. Nothing seemed to shatter their hope or relief initiatives; not even the acute shortage of medicines or staff! Their only focus was on the effective recovery of the patients and motivating their families to pray and persevere. Above all, “Treatment first, Cost secondary; Even if we manage to save one life, the whole effort and cost are worth it” was the noble intent they all worked with! Not only the medical team alone, but numerous other teams stood with them in this difficult hour shoulder to shoulder to help facilitate, to the extent possible, a smooth and normal life of every resident of the Amba Township and Simandhar City, wherein this organization is headquartered. Home delivery of hot nutritional meals thrice a day, and that of medicines, grocery and all essential items was done with precise care and diligence. Ambulances were run and transport facilities were provided for the to and fro travel for Covid emergencies, tests, check-ups and treatment purposes. Special care and attention was provided to the weak and the old, the sick and the poor so that none of them felt neglected and every need of theirs could be addressed compassionately. Thus, with the maximum support of a good amount of volunteers, a whole lot of people were able to fight and withstand the big crisis with minimum difficulty and plenty of ease. Volunteering is a Part of the Daily Routine Here At the Dada Bhagwan Foundation, volunteering is an integral part of almost everyone’s daily life. It is so much so ingrained into one’s daily routine that life without ‘Seva’ is hard to imagine here. From the construction of houses to the maintenance of societies, from the grooming of youth to the caring of the old, from the bhojanshala to the dharamshala, from academic education to the spiritual studies, from serving parents to serving Gnani, be it any small activity or a mega event conducted by the organization, it thrives on pure Volunteer service, rendered by all with utmost love and care that, ‘May no living being be caused any hurt through my thoughts, words or actions.” This is because Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan Himself constantly lived with the intention of, ‘What difficulty does the other person have, how can that difficulty be removed?’ And that is why an unconditional compassion manifested within Him. A spectacular, spiritual Science of Akram Vignan manifested in Him. Today, on the International Volunteer’s Day, let’s bow our heads with feelings of utmost respect for all the volunteers around the world who have dedicated their mind, speech and body in the silent service of others, and pledge to volunteer our mind, speech and body too to constantly serve others.   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/international-volunteers-day-2021/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/international-volunteers-day-2021/ Sun, 05 December 2021

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-niruma-s-birthday-2021/ Pujya Niruma was born on 02nd December 1944. Being the youngest among the five siblings, Pujya Niruma was brought up with great love and care. On meeting Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, she felt as if she knew him since past many life times and a strong desire arouse within her to serve Param Pujya Dadashri until her last breath. She not only had an ardent desire to serve Param Pujya Dadashri, but she also possessed those qualities that helped Param Pujya Dadashri mould her into a valuable instrument to serve His mission of world salvation. Let us today learn about one of the many such qualities that she possessed. Pujya Niruma’s Celibacy At a young age of 24, Pujya Niruma attained Self Realization from Gnani Purush Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, who enlightened her and thus made her taste the experience the blissful state of the pure Soul within. Thereafter, Pujya Niruma gained her basic lessons for practicing brahmacharya meaning celibacy, directly from and in the presence of Param Pujya Dadashri. Once receiving some hint from Param Pujya Dadashri for any mistake that she committed, she never failed to let the same repeat again. So determined was she! Having a background of being a daughter belonging to a rich family, she had a collection of hundreds of sarees. While she was in service of Dadashri, she used to put on a white saree and while in her hospital internship and other places, she used to put on the coloured ones. Once an incident occurred when Param Pujya Dadashri remarked to her that if you want to follow a celibate’s life, wearing coloured sarees is not appropriate. From that day onwards, she gave away all her coloured sarees and wore only white sarees to maintain the kind of simplicity that graced a celibate. Also, Pujya Niruma liked wearing diamond earrings. Once Param Pujya Dadashri asked her, “Can you see these earning that you are wearing?” Pujya Niruma replied, “No.” So, Param Pujya Dadashri inquired, “Then, who do you want to show these earrings to?” Listening to this remark of Param Pujya Dadashri, she immediately removed those earrings; and thereafter never wore them back. Such was her respect and dedication towards Param Pujya Dadashri’s remarks that were made to free her from all her illusionary attachments. After the demise of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, she single-handedly began the work of spreading Akram science among people. At times, she had to travel from place to place in a local vehicle, fully loaded with men, she being the only woman among them. Yet she kept her spirit on for the mission she was determined to serve and at the same time observed fasts as a sign of atonement to maintain her celibacy. Pujya Niruma’s Power of Brahmacharya Her powerful fire-like celibacy made both, the men as well as women, realize that she was an uncommon and extraordinary person amidst the crowd. Just by seeing her, the intent of following a celibate life got ignited among many youth. Without any hesitation, they right away surrendered in her feet, vowed to follow celibacy throughout life and dedicated their life in the service of the world salvation mission. Param Pujya Dadashri once remarked that she has a capacity to give spiritual lessons to hundreds of monks. Such was her Purity in life as a celibate!! On the auspicious occasion of Her Birth Anniversary today, let us all pray that may we also, as per her desire and with her grace, become an instrument of world salvation, as Pure as Her and help spread Param Pujya Dadashri’s Akram Science in whatever little ways we can, so that it reaches every corner of the World! Can there be a better birthday celebration than this of a Person like Her?! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-niruma-s-birthday-2021/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-niruma-s-birthday-2021/ Mon, 29 November 2021

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/jj114-an-event-that-we-will-never-forget-1/ It was 17th of November 2021 morning, and the clock was about to strike 10! Cool breeze was blowing, every face was glowing, perfectly poised, without any noise, hundreds of eyes, waiting to behold those divine eyes that hold the amazing power of salvation of mankind. Yes, it was time to get to see Pujyashree! After two long years, the wait was FINALLY about to get over! ‘JJ114’ - there couldn’t be a better occasion than this for the thousands of followers, to release their locked emotions of devotion for their beloved Gnani after almost two years post-lockdown, following the COVID pandemic. People from different parts of the country and the world had gathered on the sacred soil of Adalaj to celebrate Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s 114th birth anniversary!!  Most of the people attending this event have never seen Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, live. But the manner in which the unique and ubiquitous Akram Vignan is influencing and transforming every aspect of their life, every person feels greatly indebted to Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan for having gifted this Vignan to the world; and they feel equally indebted towards Pujya Niruma and Pujyashree Deepakbhai (in whom people can see their Dada Bhagwan ‘LIVE’ Pratyaksh) for tirelessly helping each one understand and practice this beautiful science in its right spirit! The event lasted for five days, Nov 17 – 21, which included Q&A Satsangs that happened daily twice a day, and light entertaining spiritual programs of Bhakti, Video film and Garba were conducted in the evening every day. 18th November 2021 was the Big Day of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s Janma Jayanti, celebrated with utmost faith and devotion, and great enthusiasm and fervour. Pujyashree Deepakbhai did the Pujan-Aarti of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan and on behalf of all of us, bowed in the lotus feet of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan and garlanded Him. The biggest attraction of this day was the ‘Darshan’ of Gnani, a priceless gift distributed by Gnani for the benefit of all! The atmosphere was truly electrifying. Followers, while sitting in the presence of Gnani, also sought strength to come out of the specific weaknesses that still have a stronghold on them and hence are not allowing them to progress at the pace they wish to. The Q&A sessions were simply awesome. Each question signified one’s unflinching desire to liberate, and each answer prescribed the exact scientific understanding one ought to imbibe so that we can be liberated easily and happily. It was an interesting sight to see every questioner put forth their question with a worrisome expression, and in a couple of minutes, they are wearing a smile, relieved of all tensions! The magic of Gnani was in the air, as it solved and resolved every query, every fear, every concern and incredible miseries of the masses! This event also saw the launch of the Dada Bhagwan TV - a Smart TV app, which works on the Smart TV as is, and on an ordinary TV, with an Android TV stick or a Fire TV stick. This app thus opens up one more avenue to enjoy the Akram Vignan resources from. ‘Hindi Swaramna – 6’, a new collection of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s melodies in Hindi, too was released online. We can access these songs and listen to them anytime, and can also download them for free. On this auspicious occasion, the followers of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan got an opportunity to welcome one more Dada Bhagwan’s follower, Shri Bhupendrabhai Patel, the newly-elected Honourable Chief Minister of Gujarat. Sharing his experience before everyone, he said that his awareness as a Pure Soul has enhanced even more amidst the busy life and the new responsibilities that he had not asked for, but has been entrusted with. All the followers offered him their best wishes and Pujyashree gave him special blessings for rendering his honest services for the welfare of the people of the state. The mega-event ended with Gnan-Vidhi, a Bhed-Vignan process to help spiritual seekers attain Self-Realization. It was an icing on the cake as both, the old as well as new followers enjoyed this program, conducted by Pujyashree, in person, after a very long time, owing to the Covid situation. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/jj114-an-event-that-we-will-never-forget-1/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/jj114-an-event-that-we-will-never-forget-1/ Thu, 25 November 2021 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-janma-jayanti-114/ Happy Janma Jayanti 114 Today’s the 114th birth anniversary of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, a spiritual revolutionary of today’s era! Although He was born 114 years ago, He continues to live in the hearts of millions of people around the world even today. Thousands of people were fortunate to have met Him personally while the others know Him through the science of Akram Vignan propounded by Him. Param Pujya Dadashri possessed a special quality of analyzing things around Him and drawing a meaningful conclusion from what He observed or experienced, which eventually led to the unravelling of this fantastic spiritual science within Him. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan was born on the 14th day of the bright half of the month of Kartik as per the Hindu calendar in Tarsali village in Vadodara district. He was a contractor by profession but was always spiritually inclined. At the age of 50, in June 1958, Akram Vignan naturally manifested within Him, when He attained Self-Realization, while waiting for His train on the Surat railway station. Thereupon His Soul was awakened! Janma Jayanti i.e. His birthday is considered as one of the most auspicious days, as on His Janma Jayanti, we do darshan of the Dada Bhagwan (the Absolute Soul), manifested within Him. Param Pujya Dadashri used to say, “I'm not Dada Bhagwan, I am A.M. Patel, the One who is awakened within me is Dada Bhagwan.” Thus, Mahatmas seek blessings of this Dada Bhagwan on the very special day of Janma Jayanti and ask for strength to come out of their weaknesses and overcome all the obstacles that are obstructing their progress on the spiritual path. We often pray to the Lord on our birthdays, but here, we are fortunate enough to be celebrating the Lord's birthday and get blessed with immense glory. So come, let us all together celebrate this occasion of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s 114th birth anniversary by making a firm determination to live by His given knowledge and break-free from all the bondages of anger, greed, pride and lust. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-janma-jayanti-114/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-janma-jayanti-114/ Mon, 15 November 2021

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-childrens-day-2021/ Happy Children’s Day! 14th November is a special day for every child in India, as it is the birth anniversary of their beloved Chacha Nehru!! Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first Prime Minister, loved children so dearly, and hence after his demise, his birthday has been chosen to be celebrated as the Children’s Day. Nehruji would always say, “Children are like the buds in a garden. They should be carefully and lovingly nurtured as they are the future of the nation and the citizens of tomorrow.” Now, whilst ‘nurturing’ is an important aspect for child development, ‘learning’ plays an equally vital role on the part of children! Let’s understand how... While every child’s brain is wired to learn from his surroundings, it is commonly observed that each child is unique in their capability of learning, even when they may be growing up in a similar environment of relationships. This capability is the result of an accumulation that has happened over his numerous past lives. It depicts the inner development of the child and is demonstrated in terms of the wisdom that the child exhibits through his thoughts, words and actions, from quite a tender age. While sharing his own life story, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan beautifully illustrates the characteristics of a child that grows up being wise: The one with practical wisdom, even when he’s only a small child studying in school, has all the calculations of how much is the inflow and how much is the outflow at home; he has a complete account of the kind of burden that lies on his parents’ shoulders; and is all the time conscious of the fact that his parents should never get over burdened by any futile expenditure from his side. So, even while a student, he has this kind of awareness in his mind; which gets reflected in his actions too, in the form of his relentless service to parents. Such a child is versatile! His attention is all around - on what his parents are going through at any given point of time, how the money flows into the house, where all it gets expended, the loss-making areas, the kind of hardships that his parents are facing – everything is in his notice. ‘No sooner I finish my school, I want to get back to help my parents’ is a thought, weighing on his mind, all the time.” So come, while our parents and teachers are doing their bit by ‘nurturing’ us with love and care, we children, on our part, make a vow to focus on the ‘learning’ part of it! Today, on the Children’s day, we shall take up the promise to recognize the hardships that our parents undertake so that we grow up into good human beings and be grateful for their painstaking endeavours to make us responsible individuals, by learning even from their unsaid words and serving them earnestly, without them having to ask for anything. That will ensure our good development. So, shall we?! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-childrens-day-2021/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-childrens-day-2021/ Fri, 12 November 2021

Here comes the day that we all have been looking forward to… It’s Diwali, the festival of lights - illuminating the Earth as well as the skies, and filling joy and hope in every person’s life! During Diwali, wherever one goes, the atmosphere is exuberant, with the diyas glowing in every place, lighting up houses, offices and surrounding space and kindling into people’s minds and hearts, feelings of brotherhood, peace, harmony and grace. There’s celebration and excitement everywhere, with kids thoroughly enjoying their vacation, running around and playing all day long, the younger generation busy preparing sweets and distributing gifts to the guests and servicemen and the elderly showering gracious blessings, doing puja and praying for the welfare of all. Diwali, being one of the most glorious festivals of India, has immense spiritual significance It is celebrated every year on the new moon night i.e. Amavasya of the Hindu month of Kartik. While Hindus rejoice the history of homecoming of Lord Rama after his 14 years of exile, for Jains, it is the most auspicious Nirvan day of their most beloved Lord Mahavir, who attained the highest state of spiritual realization and spread it to the masses. For Sikhs, Diwali is a special day that marks their most revered Guru Hargobind Singhji’s release from prison, along with 52 other princes; and for Buddhists, Diwali is a big day on which Emperor Ashoka, following his killing spree in the Battle of Kalinga, decided to follow the path of Buddhism. Thus, all in all, since Diwali is a spiritual festival signifying the triumph of light over darkness and celebrating the victory of knowledge over ignorance, it becomes an occasion to cherish new beginnings on the spiritual side. Diwali symbolizes ‘Awakening our inner light’! The essence of the festival lies in the Sanskrit shloka, ‘Tamaso ma jyotirgamaya’ which means ‘lead me from darkness to light!’ Moving from darkness towards light implies breaking the shackles of our ignorance of Self (our real Self which is Soul) and enlightening our Soul. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “The happiness that you seek cannot be found in this (worldly life). Happiness is in the Self (Atma). I have felt that happiness, I have experienced it.” His experience was the result of his spiritual quest of numerous previous births, but what is astounding is that we can experience it too, and that too in just two hours, through his discovery of a scientific process of Self Realization called Gnan Vidhi. This means we can attain Self-Realization in just two hours and remove the darkness of ignorance from our life forever? Yes indeed! After Gnan Vidhi, The conviction that ‘I am Pure Soul’ is firmly established within, The awareness of really who am I gets initiated, The right understanding manifests within, which eventually leads to a right conduct, thus bringing peace, happiness and harmony into our life, The feeling of oneness with everyone arises within, because our real Self i.e. the Soul is uniform, meaning similar in nature, in case of everyone. In what better way can we celebrate our Diwali then?! So come, let us all pray together that, ‘May this Diwali, the darkness of our inner ignorance be dispelled and the light of knowledge of Self be kindled within, thus bringing in abundant happiness into ours as well as everyone’s life. May we all reach the zenith of right understanding so that eternal bliss prevails within.’ Wish you all a very Happy Diwali! May the light of real knowledge spread across the globe! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-diwali-2021/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-diwali-2021/ Mon, 01 November 2021

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-navratri-2021/ Happy Navratri! The Nine Nights’ Festival of Navratri has begun! Worshipping our dear Goddess Amba Mata is the major highlight of this festival. We worship Her by playing garba on the tunes of the devotional songs sung in her praise, by doing Her Aarti and making prasad for Her with great love and warmth and for those who can observe a strict fast during these nine days out of sheer faith and devotion towards Her! “The fruits that you reap (by worshipping this Goddess) are directly proportional to your faith (shraddha)”, says Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan. So, How should our Faith be? Maintaining  selfish motives to gain worldly benefits while worshipping this great Goddess, is not correct. And these are all temporary gains, so ultimately, they prove to be of no use anyways. Our motive instead must be to seek Her grace to help us progress on the path of ultimate liberation. This pure motive will not allow to adulterate our faith! Goddess Amba Mata is the Adhya Shakti, meaning the original energy force! It is said that Amba Mata symbolizes natural prakruti (personality)! explains the real meaning of it. He says, “Goddess Amba Mata is in the form of energy. She is an embodiment of energy. When unity of your mind, speech and the body energy happens (ekagrata), you can attain that energy. That energy is verily within you. But why do we have to keep these symbolic idols? This is because people are not aware that the energy is within them, that is the reason why it has to be placed outside as symbols.” So, why not begin this practice by worshipping Goddess Amba Mata with unity of our mind, speech and body? When we worship Her so, with great reverence and with exuberance, our own prakruti is energized. It will become natural and powerful and we shall gain good peace of mind too. Goddess Amba Mata is the reigning and the protecting (Shaasan Devi) Goddess of the Tirthankar Goddess Amba Mata is the Shaasan Devi of the Tirthankar Lord whose mere sight helps us attain liberation. From the one who protects the liberation seekers, can we seek fulfilment of our trivial worldly desires then? No, never! Rather, we shall seek Amba Mata’s special grace and blessings to help us progress on path of salvation. Goddess Amba Mata has the divine power to destroy our worldly obstacles and grant energy to our prakruti, thus enabling it to become strong, natural and spontaneous. When the prakruti becomes natural, Purush that is the Self (Aatma) too becomes natural. This helps us in a big way to progress well on the path of liberation. So come, on this auspicious festival of Navratri, let’s pray to this great Goddess with utmost unity of our mind, speech and body, and attain Her grace, “Dear Amba Mata, please help destroy the obstacles that obstruct our progress on the path of liberation!” https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-navratri-2021/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-navratri-2021/ Mon, 04 October 2021

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-samvatsari-2021/ Happy Samvatsari! Samvatsari, the Festival of Forgiveness, is celebrated with great faith on the last day of the Paryushan, in Jainism. The Samvantsari Pratikraman, done by almost every devotee of Lord Mahavir on this day, holds a special significance! What miracle does Pratikraman create? While doing pratikraman, people specifically ‘recall’ and ‘repent for’ every hurt that they may have caused to others, knowingly or unknowingly. During pratikraman, one confesses and apologises for the mistakes one has done and also resolves to never repeat this wrong deed which has caused hurt to others. People seek special forgiveness from every living being in this world by saying, “Micchami Dukkadam!” What is the Significance of Michhami Dukkadam? “Michhami Dukkadam” is an expression of repentance, which in itself is considered as Pratikraman. Micchami Dukkadam means ‘May my bad deeds (dushkrut) become fruitless (mithya).’ Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan specifies, “If, knowingly or unknowingly, we create wrong karma, there is a remedy for it. Once a wrong karma i.e. anything that hurts others through our thoughts, speech and body (actions) occurs, repentance should follow immediately. And repentance should be done, wholeheartedly and with sincerity.” Further, it should be done by keeping God as the witness; whichever God you believe in, whether Lord Mahavir or Lord Krishna, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan or any other God. Repenting wholeheartedly for our mistakes, committed intentionally or mistakenly, helps wash away all the bad karmas, that would have otherwise got bound, and thus we become free of them. When one repents for any wrong karma wholeheartedly, the bondage of karma is reduced to minimum. “Even after repentance, should the mistake occur again, there is no need to worry; just repent again”, says Param Pujya Dadashri. Here, one needs to understand how repentance helps us get rid of our wrong deeds and if we do not repent, then what kind of consequences may occur. Every action we do, bears an equal and opposite reaction. Therefore, when we do something that is evidently wrong or which hurts others, we will have to suffer as a result of this bad deed. To its rescue, Param Pujya Dadashri provides us with the remedy of repentance i.e. pratikraman. While explaining the importance of pratikraman, Param Pujya Dadashri says, “Repentance will loosen the entangled knots of karma. If not, the result of the wrongful action you bind will be so horrendous that you may even forfeit human birth in your next life. And if you manage to attain human life again, it will be full of suffering and misery. You will be deprived of food and respect, and you will suffer constant insults. That is why repentance along with other rituals becomes necessary.” So today, on this Samvatsari day, let’s celebrate the Festival of Forgiveness, by doing a whole-hearted and sincere pratikraman, for all the bad deeds that have happened so far through our thoughts, words or actions; and thus allow our repentance to wash away the inner dirt and make us a pure human being, whose goal of life is to progress towards salvation. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-samvatsari-2021/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-samvatsari-2021/ Thu, 09 September 2021

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-teachers-day-2021/ Happy Teachers Day 2021! When asked about our fondest memories in life, most of us remember their childhood days - those carefree days of fun, food and friends and what else makes our childhood memories so pleasant and interesting even today? School, friends and of course, our teachers! Remember, how our days used to start with a chorus of Goood Moooorrrnnniiiggg Maaaa’m?! Those days can never come back but our teacher’s influence and impact has still stayed with us even after so many years. That is the reason a special day has been dedicated to express our sincere gratitude to our teachers. 5th September marks the birth anniversary of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan and is celebrated as the Teachers Day every year. In India, the Guru-Shishya parampara is held in very high esteem as Teachers play an important role in shaping our personalities and making us civilized citizens. Just as teachers fulfill their duties with dedication, it is our duty too to respect them and earn their grace. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “A student cannot do anything by himself. With the grace of a Guru (teacher), one can progress.” Such is the importance of a teacher! Imagine a situation when you are standing at a junction of seven roads. Which road will you select to reach your destination and how will you do that? Obviously, you’ll take the help of a passerby. So in this situation, the passerby has become our Guru as he guided us on the right path. This means the guidance of a Guru is necessary everywhere, at every step. As students, we may have taken pride in making fun of our teachers or playing pranks on them. But do you know although we might have felt a sense of achievement in those moments then, we actually incurred a great loss unknowingly. Highlighting the importance of a Guru, the Spiritual Master, Param Pujya Dadashri says, “Whomever you surrender to, you will acquire the strength they possess. Once you have surrendered, you will acquire all that he has.” And if we disrespect our teachers, then obviously we will not be able to gain anything from them. Going ahead, Param Pujya Dadashri also gives us a very important life lesson, “No matter how the Guru behaves, the disciple should remain obedient. If the disciple follows Guru’s instructions; then his work will be done!” Times will keep changing - Classroom teaching might get replaced by online education; but the importance of teachers in our life will never change. Hence, on this Teachers Day celebration, let us remember all our teachers and recollect those instances when we have disrespected them or made fun of them and then in our mind, ask for their forgiveness and resolve never to do it again ever. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-teachers-day-2021/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-teachers-day-2021/ Fri, 03 September 2021

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-janmashtami-2021/ Happy Janmashtami “Haathi Ghoda Paalki…Jai Kanhaiya Laal Ki……” What do these lines remind you of? Yes! It’s celebration time! It’s time to gear up to celebrate the birth of our favourite Kanhaiya, who’s also known as Krishna, Yogeshwar, Govinda, Keshava etc. So let’s all get together and welcome Janmashtami 2021!!! When it comes to celebration of Lord Krishna’s birthday, music, dance and mischiefs go hand in hand with it. That’s the reason Lord Krishna is also labelled as ‘The One with a flute’, ‘The One with Gopis’, ‘The One who steals butter (maakhan chor)’ etc. We’ve all grown up hearing tales of Lord Krishna and His leelas. Lord Krishna is the most loved and enigmatic character in Indian mythology. Revealing His true identity, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, the Enlightened One says, “Lord Krishna was a Gnani. He became enlightened; He became a Gnani Purush (Narayan) from an ordinary human being (nara).” Even today, the Bhagavad Gita, a holy scripture, which is a narrative of the incident where Lord Krishna unveiled the ultimate science of the universe to Arjuna, remains the most read scripture across the globe. Within Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna has revealed the science of Self- Realization to Arjuna.  What is the theme of Bhagavad Gita? Thousands of philosophers and spiritual Gurus have analysed and explained the Geeta in their own different ways. Let us ponder over a few points from this holy scripture, as explained by Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan – “In the ‘Gita’, it is said, ‘Whenever the Earth becomes heavily burdened with demerit karmas, I will take birth.” Naturally the question arises, Who is this ‘I’? Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan explains, “That ‘I’ refers to the real Self. It is a principle that when there is an increase of demerit karmas on Earth, a Great Being will take birth. In this way, in every Yuga (time cycle), a Great Being is born.” He further says that, Lord Krishna was a manifested God living in continuous awareness and an exalted Self-realized stage. Let’s look at the following verse from Bhagavad Gita, “Na Kartutva, Na Karmani, Lokshya Shrujati Prabhu: Na Karmaphal Sanyog, Svabhavas Tu Pravartate!” Meaning: “The Lord does not act, nor does He induce anyone to act; nor does He give the fruits of action. All this happens naturally.” Param Pujya Dadashri elaborates, “Shri Krishna said that the world has arisen naturally; it is all happening naturally. The world is running naturally and it is being run by an energy called Vyavasthit Shakti (the result of Scientific Circumstantial Evidences). Vyavasthit Shakti is not the creator of the world. Vyavasthit Shakti is natural and eternal.” In the above-mentioned points from Bhagavad Gita lies the answer to the important questions of ‘Who am I?’ and ‘Who runs the world?’ Knowing the right answers to these questions helps solve all our puzzles in life and puts an end to the feelings of distress, worries, vengeance etc that may be within. On this auspicious day of Janmashtami, let us all strive to understand Lord Krishna and the revered Bhagavad Gita, in their real form.   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-janmashtami-2021/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-janmashtami-2021/ Fri, 27 August 2021

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-raksha-bandhan-2021/ Raksha badhan marks the celebration of a lovely bond of protection! This special Rakhi festival, celebrated on the full moon day of the Hindu (lunar) month Shravana, traditionally, entrusts the male siblings with a responsibility to look after their sis and be her saviour in times of need. In Indian mythology, it is said that seeing Krishna’s finger bleeding, Draupadi immediately tore a piece from one of the most expensive saaris that she was wearing and tied it around his hand. In return, Lord Krishna vowed that he would always be there to protect Draupadi. Krishna kept his commitment to Draupadi's welfare right upto the end of his life; remember the Cheerharan episode, where Lord Krishna protected Draupadi in time, saving her of incredible humiliation!  This is what the Indian tradition of Rakhi festival symbolizes, when a sister ties a rakhi around her brother’s wrist and the brother, in turn, promises to protect his sister, just as Lord Krishna did! However, is this promise easy to keep? Lord Krishna was a ‘Vasudeva’, having extraordinary super-human energies and accomplishments. On the other hand, the era that we all are living in today (Kaliyug) is characterised with incessant obstacles and miseries in every person’s life. Therefore, even while a brother is all-willing to protect his sister from every problem in life, the ordeals are far too many and quite complicated. Then, from where do we get the protection we need? In whom do we find the refuge we seek? Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan gives us the all-powerful Tri-mantra and says, “The significance of this Trimantra is such that it will destroy all your worldly obstacles. If you recite it every morning, all your worldly difficulties will be destroyed.” This mantra protects us in every way. It helps reduce the burden of our heaviest of karma and thus makes the pain of even severe suffering feel as a mere pinprick to us. Consequently, we gain stability and peace of mind. In this mantra, we pay our obeisance to the elevated beings of the highest order! By reciting the Trimantra, we receive the divine blessings and gain the supreme energies of these Enlightened beings, which enable us to rise spiritually higher and make us become stronger in the true sense of the word. So, if we wish, we can, on this auspicious day of Raksha bandhan, tie a rakhi, iconic of an eternal bond of protection, to the Enlightened beings (referred to in Trimantra) as well. While we tie the rakhi to our brother, let us both, brother and sister, recite the Trimantra together, with an earnest internal prayer that, ‘Oh Enlightened Lords, May we siblings soon meet Gnani (the Enlightened One), and from Him attain the path of liberation from all our miseries in worldly life.’ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-raksha-bandhan-2021/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-raksha-bandhan-2021/ Fri, 20 August 2021

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-friendship-day-2021/ Happy Friendship Day! Every year, the Friendship day is celebrated in honour of the beauty of a very special relationship that people share with their friends. Friends are such a spice, who add a bit more to our life- a bit more calmness when we are sad, a bit more confidence when we feel down, a bit more happiness to our moments of joy and a big list going on and on. However, while in the journey of this beautiful friendship, sometimes this relationship takes such a turn, that it loses all its flavour and charm. What is this turn on the road of friendship? Competition! Yes, when friendship becomes more of a competition, it loses all its beauty and charm. For instance, when one gets to know that their friend has secured good grades, or good name and fame, or some other achievement and one doesn’t feel happy for their friend, on the contrary feels jealous and miserable, it means the friendship has taken the bad turn and has got into competition. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, while giving the similie of a racecourse, explains how one invites suffering into their life, by entering into a competition with others: “People suffer because they compete; they enter into a competition. You have to just watch; simply ‘see’ which horse comes first. When one continues to simply ‘see’, then the ‘seer’ has no pain or suffering. Those who enter a ‘racecourse’ have to suffer the pain. So it is not worth entering a ‘racecourse.” People compete to become equivalent, and more so greater than others. However, Param Pujya Dadashri cautions us saying: “Up until now, all efforts have been towards becoming the greatest. ‘I want to be greater than him; I want to be greater than him.’ See, the competition has begun, has it not? Who wins the prize? The prize goes only to the horse that comes first. What about the rest? There is no prize for them even after running so hard.” Thus, there is no meaning in getting into competition with anyone; then with own friends? Never! How can we allow the beauty of our friendship get destroyed by letting in competition, just because of our desire to have whatever our friend has? No, this takes us nowhere. Doing so, neither do we progress nor do we stay happy. Rather it harms us, and more importantly it hurts our friendship too. Everyone is unique! So, why not appreciate the goodness in each and every one? While competition ruins our relationship, learning to accept, enjoy and appreciate the achievement of our friends open-heartedly, makes our life even more happy and joyous and helps our friendship bond grow stronger and stronger!   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-friendship-day-2021/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-friendship-day-2021/ Fri, 30 July 2021

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-parents-day-2021/ Human beings are known as social beings. Since the time we are born, we start developing a web of social relations around us in the form of family, friends, colleagues etc. Our engagement, bonding and the duration of the ties differ in each of the relationships. But when asked, which is the most cherished relation in our life? The unanimous answer is – the one between a parent and child. The parent-child relationship is one that nurtures the physical, emotional and social development of a person since the time of birth. Therefore, a healthy parent-child relationship is extremely important to lay down a strong foundation for the child’s personality, life choices and community behavior. In order to emphasize this point and promote responsible parenting, a National Parents Day is celebrated. All personalities are unique, and when nurtured in the right way, they blossom beautifully. Emphasizing the role of parents, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, an enlightened being says, “Every young adult has the potential to help the entire world. He just needs the right guidance and support.” To gift our child a happy life ahead, here are a few practical ways for an all-round parenting approach: Role-division of parents Parents should discuss and divide the responsibilities of children amongst themselves. Ideally, until the age of fourteen, a child needs more of mother’s love and attention. During this time, fathers may restrict their involvement to the important life-impacting decisions like: in which school to get their child’s admission, what career could the child pursue, etc. After the age of fifteen, let the father take a lead role in child development. This is a critical role for a father to help his child grow in a manner that he can take on life and execute the responsibilities in the right spirit. Love in one eye and strictness in the other eye At times, children get provoked on the wrong path mainly because of the over-display of love by parents. Therefore, parents ought to bring about normality in everything. Maintain love in one eye, and strictness in the other. Strictness does not harm the other person much; anger causes a lot of damage. As parents, say everything, but dramatically. What is considered to be drama? It means calmness prevails within, even when you are showing the anger externally. Don’t control; Shower love from the heart This is a most important role of parents. When you speak to your children, it should not be with an authoritative tone. For example, if a child gets 60% marks and shows to the father, the father should say, ‘It is good that you have passed the exam, but this is not sufficient. I expect from you a better result of around 85 % so that you can become a good engineer’, and then leave the topic. After that, don’t keep on reminding him that you asked him to get good marks. He already has it in his mind. If you keep on nagging, he will tend to ignore your words. Maintain Friendship Param Pujya Dadashri explains that until the child is seven to eight years, and he makes a mistake – the parents have to discipline the child as necessary; up to the age of twelve to fifteen, you can guide them; but after sixteen you have to be friends with your children. If you become a friend to your children, they will improve. But if you assert your authority as a parent, you will risk losing them.  These are just some of the keys to build a strong and a healthy relationship with your children. No matter how old the child grows, only situations change, but principles remain the same always.  Hence, on this Parents Day, let us introspect, and resolve to strengthen our relationship with our children, who will also become good parents to their kids in future, thus producing an entire generation of responsible citizens. Wishing us all a Happy Parent’s Day!   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-parents-day-2021/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-parents-day-2021/ Sat, 24 July 2021

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-gurupurnima-2021/ Today is Guru Purnima, one of the most reverent days celebrated to express our gratitude to the ‘Guru’ (teacher), who has guided us in our journey of life and has shaped us to become what we are today. In Sanskrit, ‘Purnima’ refers to the full moon, symbolizing our transition from darkness to full light with the help of a ‘Guru’. The further dissection of the word ‘Guru’ gives us ‘Gu’ which means moving away from darkness and ‘Ru’ implies inviting light and illumination into life. India celebrates a rich and long tradition of Guru-Shishya parampara (tradition) and the same continues even today. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “You will need a Guru until the very end. Even if you want to go to the station, you need a Guru. If you want to learn, you need a teacher. Even the Guru needs his own Guru.” Such is the importance of having a Guru in our life! But just having a Guru isn’t enough; it is equally important to have faith in our Guru. Whoever the Guru may be, it is our faith that gives us the result. We are all familiar with the story of the great Bheema, who wrote the name of his Guru on a pot and daily worshipped it with complete faith. Along with complete faith, it is also important to cultivate the qualities needed to become the rightful Guru and a worthy shishya. According to Param Pujya Dadashri, “The Guru’s moral character should be absolutely pure. One is not a Guru if his moral character is not proper; it would be meaningless.” Talking about the qualities of a disciple, He says, “When the Guru acts crazy, even then the disciple doesn’t lose faith in him. That is the quality of a disciple.” As mentioned above, a Guru is important to progress ahead in life. He can bring us up to the stage He is! However, if one desires spiritual progress, then without a Gnani Purush (the Enlightened One), there’s no liberation. The Guru gives Gnan (knowledge) and the Gnani gives Vignan (Absolute Science). On this occasion of Gurupurnima, let us remember all our Gurus whom we have met in our life and express our heart-felt gratitude to them for their contribution in making us what we are today.   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-gurupurnima-2021/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-gurupurnima-2021/ Tue, 20 July 2021

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-nirumas-gnan-day-2021/ How often do we come across people who have dedicated their lives for others? Living for others gives us the right purpose to live and helps us grow in our endeavor. 20 years of service to the Enlightened One, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, carved a path for Pujya Niruma, to lead a life with a higher purpose and become the beacon of Jagat Kalyan i.e. Salvation of the World. Param Pujya Dadashri’s directive for Pujya Niruma, “You have to become the mother of the entire world!” was enough for her to get going on the path of serving others. Param Pujya Dadashri clearly understood young Niruben’s unflinching desire for the salvation of the world. But before becoming eligible to become the torchbearer, it was important for Her to pass through the litmus test of purity and dedication as envisioned by Param Pujya Dadashri. Param Pujya Dadashri started to groom Niruben, carving away all the weaknesses and imperfections within Her. Though the process wasn’t as easy as it sounds, it was Niruben’s complete surrender and humility that made all the undertakings by Param Pujya Dadashri possible. She always knew in Her heart that anything done by the Gnani is always for Her ultimate salvation only. She strived not only to achieve Her goal, but also helped several others to attain their spiritual goals. And finally, when directed by Param Pujya Dadashri, Niruben took on the formidable role, that of being the world’s Mother. The love She showed for everyone around Her was incomparable and that is the reason that She came to be called as ‘Maa’ by everyone irrespective of their ages. Many young men and women considered Her to be their role model and came to Her to looking forward to live a celibate life and join Her in Param Pujya Dadashri’s mission. Such is our dear Niruma! Isn’t it wonderful to see how a single minded determination and dedication can lead to a life worth living and following? On this auspicious occasion of Pujya Niruma’s Gnan Day (Self-Realization Day), let’s resolve to live our life with a higher purpose like Her and attain our spiritual goals in life. Let’s follow our dear Niruma and determine to be devoted like Her in rendering seva (service) for the most noble cause of Jagat kalyan (salvation to the world) and at the same time persevering for the ultimate spiritual goal of Moksha (liberation) as well.   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-nirumas-gnan-day-2021/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-nirumas-gnan-day-2021/ Wed, 07 July 2021

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-global-forgiveness-day-2021/ Forgiveness, the quintessential human quality, is sometimes undervalued in our lives. Different dictionaries define the term in their own ways. Psychologists define forgiveness as a conscious, deliberate decision to release feelings of resentment or vengeance towards a person or a group. All religions around the world preach the importance of the role that forgiveness plays in one’s spiritual development. And also, a special day has been dedicated in the name of the Global Forgiveness Day. This day reminds us to set all our differences aside and work on forgiving the hurts and conflicts that have happened in our life, so that we can start living with oneness between each other. As per Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, an enlightened being, “Life is not meant for hurting anyone. If you hurt the person, you will surely have to amend the situation.” Amending the situation means to forgive and avoid ruminating on thoughts of being hurt by others. Initially, it might not seem easy to forgive someone who has wronged us, but ultimately it is we who suffer in such a situation, because the sorrow is intensified when we keep the hurt alive. And if we continue to hold onto it for long, these toxic and destructive emotions have the potential to cause several physical and mental dis-eases to us. So the next obvious question might be, how do we forgive someone when they continue to hurt us again and again? Param Pujya Dadashri gives us practical ways to immune ourselves from the hurt and suffering caused by others. Param Pujya Dadashri says, “Try as best as you can to explain to him in a gentle manner. There is no other way because you do not have any control over the matter. You have no choice other than to forgive him. If you do not forgive, you will end up forgiving after more suffering.” Isn’t this an easy way out? This was about when someone hurts us by his thoughts, words or actions, but what if people are hurt because of our thoughts, words or actions? In that case, of course, asking for forgiveness is the only way out. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan has given us the tool of PRATIKRAMAN for it. So what is Pratikraman? Pratikraman means to ask for forgiveness for any negative feelings that are harbored by us for the other person. Atikraman means to walk on the wrong path and Pratikraman means to retrace our footsteps. How to do pratikraman? It is very easy. Think of the person whom you have hurt and pray to his inner pure Soul by saying, “Dear Soul, I apologize for having hurt this person. I seek forgiveness for this hurt that I have caused. And I strongly resolve to not repeat this mistake ever again.” Anger, resentment, seeing faults of others, etc. keep us stuck in the past as we keep replaying the incident of the hurt of suffering, again and again. If we want a happier life, it is important to let go of the toxic emotions, forgive the perpetrator, and ask for forgiveness for the hurt caused to us and/or by us. So come, on this occasion of Global Forgiveness Day, let us resolve to free ourselves from the past by forgiving all and seeking forgiveness from all those whom we have hurt by our mind, speech and body, and thus create a miracle in our life by living in the present moment! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-global-forgiveness-day-2021/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-global-forgiveness-day-2021/ Mon, 05 July 2021

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-birthday-pujya-deepakbhai-2021/ Happy Birthday Pujya Deepakbhai Today, 9th May, is a festive day for one and all, as it is the birthday of our beloved Pujya Deepakbhai! Pujya Deepakbhai holds a very special place in every heart. What exactly is the reason for that? Let’s find out by going through some interesting examples of Pujya Deepakbhai’s life. Pujya Deepakbhai Desai was a young mechanical engineering student, studying at VJTI College, Mumbai when He met Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan for the very first time, in 1971. An introvert guy, who used to shy away from all public appearances, has today become a powerful inspiration for tens of thousands of people around the world. This lofty achievement was not achieved overnight; it’s a result of a sincere, dedicated and consistent effort over the years. One of the virtues for which Pujya Deepakbhai is best known for is His SINCERITY Pujya Deepakbhai says, “Sincerity means to ‘stick to’ it (the work you are responsible for). If you are slow, then work slowly. If you are fast, then work accordingly. But complete whatever work has been given to you…. My rule is, that sincerity starts from the time I open my eyes and from then on there is no slacking. (To my mind), the importance of work would be so much that my sincerity towards it would override the normal routine like eating, drinking, sleeping and going out.” Such is the value of sincerity in Pujya Deepakbhai’s life! Even Param Pujya Dadashri often praised this quality of Pujya Deepakbhai, “Deepak has a great virtue of sincerity. Whatever He does, He will do it sincerely, till the end. This sincerity will take Him to great heights!” Pujya Deepakbhai sincerely believes, ‘If I remain sincere to my work, then even the work will remain sincere to me.’ One day, while sharing His experience of His early days of working as an engineer, He said, “I used to repair the machines with such sincerity that they shouldn’t get damaged when I am away for satsang for 3-4 months.” Since the day He met Param Pujya Dadashri, one seva that has always remained with Him is the editing of books on Param Pujya Dadashri’s speech. “I plan my work in such a manner that it becomes convenient for whoever takes my place in the future. This way I am sincere towards the person and the work”, says Pujya Deepakbhai. To be sincere to work, in a manner so that nobody faces any problem related to it, in future – this extraordinary gesture certainly highlights His foresight and vision related to the task he has been assigned, but at the same time, it also reflects upon the love, respect and commitment that He has for this important seva and for the people who are and who will be involved in future with this seva which He has been entrusted with. Even today, Pujya Deepakbhai works relentlessly on any work that requires His approval to proceed ahead. “I never look for my own convenience, I work twice as hard, but Mahatmas should get the things at the right time. To keep up to their time is sincerity” - these are the words and feelings of our Revered Pujya Deepakbhai, who all the time, remains concerned about other’s convenience first! Also, ever since He attained Gnan (Self-Realization) from Param Pujya Dadashri, he has always remained sincere to Gnan in all ways; that’s indeed the secret of His good progress and having attained great spiritual heights. Friends, these were some small glimpses of Pujya Deepakbhai’s life, from which we come to know about His extraordinary Sincerity. Moreover, we got to learn that being sincere doesn’t only mean completing our task on time, it implies being sincere to everyone and everything one comes across in life, be it people, machines, work, knowledge, concern for others, anything. Thus, this sneak peek into Pujya Deepakbhai’s life has given us a much bigger meaning of this word. Today, being the birthday of our beloved Pujya Deepakbhai, let us all wish Him a very long and healthy life, and may He continue to inspire millions of people around the world with His virtues, and help spread the priceless Gnan (Self-Realization) in every corner of the world, throughout His life! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-birthday-pujya-deepakbhai-2021/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-birthday-pujya-deepakbhai-2021/ Sat, 08 May 2021

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mothers-day-2021/ Happy Mother’s Day! Who is that person with whom we are connected even before we are born? Who is that person who stands by us no matter what? Who is that person who can feel and understand us even without us sharing anything? The list can be endless of such gestures of unique love. No points for guessing, the only person who can love us unconditionally is our “Mother”. With her is our special relationship that effortlessly scores above all other known relations on this Earth. And Mother’s Day is an occasion to express our deep gratitude, respect and honor that we have towards her. There are different forms and ways of expressing gratitude towards ‘Mother’ by the people around the world. However, these expressions are sometimes forgotten when one has had difference of viewpoint with her. Differences could be there, but these differences shouldn’t become so big that they end up hurting our mother and our relation with her, adversely. Mothers are known to be a symbol of love and forgiveness. So she might forgive us for our wrongdoings, but the hurt will always remain deep in her heart. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “Children who see faults in their parents will never be happy. They may have material wealth, but they would never be happy spiritually.” How can we forget our duty and obligations towards our parents, who have always sacrificed, in order to give us the best in all ways? Param Pujya Dadashri further says, “When children remain obedient and ‘aadhin’ (heartily surrendered) to their parents at all times, even if they don’t like doing so, they will experience peace and happiness from within.” So if you want to be happy in life, the shortcut to it is to keep your parents happy by not seeing their faults or being rude to them or demeaning them in any way. Remember, this is the only bond that is strong enough to withstand all the ups and downs under any circumstances. Hence, let us make this Mother’s Day a special day by paying an earnest tribute to our Mother, who is the reason for our very existence! Although a single day isn’t enough to recognize our mother’s contributions in our life, but special occasions like ‘Mother’s Day’ give us a chance to undo our mistakes by asking for her forgiveness from the bottom of our heart. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mothers-day-2021/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mothers-day-2021/ Fri, 07 May 2021

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/shree-simandhar-swamis-janma-kalyanak-2021/ Shree Simandhar Swami’s Janma Kalyanak When we recite the Navkaar Mantra, our first namaskar goes to the Arihant Lords - those who have annihilated all inner enemies of anger, pride, attachment and greed! Arihants are the living Tirthankaras Arihants are the living Tirthankaras, having a unique power to grant final liberation to those who sincerely and strongly aspire to be free! Only by doing the live, in-person darshan of a Tirthankara, can one become completely and permanently free from the cycle of birth and death. There is no living Tirthankara on our Earth in this time cycle After Lord Mahavir’s Nirvana (final liberation), our Bharat Kshetra has become devoid of the presence of living Tirthankaras, and it will remain so until Lord Padmanabh will take birth many centuries later and begin the next chovisi (the set of 24 Tirthankaras). Those who have attained Nirvana are now worshipped as Siddhas, so whom do we worship as Arihant? Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan has revealed that Lord Simandhar Swami, presently in Mahavideh Kshetra, is a living Tirthankara, having strong karmic connections with beings of Bharat Kshetra! All those who worship Shree Simandhar Swami with the intent of attaining liberation and in the manner explained by Gnani Purush Dada Bhagwan, will become eligible to take birth in Mahavideh Kshetra, receive the Lord’s Darshan and attain Moksha! So what is the correct way to worship Shree Simandhar Swami? Not only does Shree Simandhar Swami, the Living Tirthankara, exist on a different planet, but also the time cycle there is very different from the time cycle here. Therefore, we must always pay our respect to Lord Simandhar Swami, with Gnani Purush Dada Bhagwan as a direct witness of our obeisance, in order to ensure that our namaskar reaches the Lord, wherever he might be, in the correct way, without any obstacles. This is because Dada Bhagwan has a direct and constant contact with Lord Simandhar Swami! Accordingly, we may recite the following words every day, sincerely, at least 40 times a day: ‘Pratyaksh Dada Bhagwan ni sakshi e vartmaane Mahavideh Kshetra ma vicharta Tirthankar Bhagwan Shree Simandhar Swami ne atyant bhaktipurvak namaskar karu chu’ meaning ‘In the direct witness of Dada Bhagwan, I pay my highest obeisance to Tirthankar Bhagwan Shree Simandhar Swami,  who is presently in Mahavideh Kshetra.’ We can even do Lord’s Aarti to express our feelings of praise and reverence towards this Living Arihanta! On the pious occasion of Lord Simandhar Swami’s Janma Kalyanak (Birthday), let us all pray to Him with utmost devotion that may all our weaknesses be overcome, may all the obstacles be removed and may we all get the incredible privilege to do the Lord’s Darshan in our next birth itself, so that we attain the ultimate liberation from birth and death! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/shree-simandhar-swamis-janma-kalyanak-2021/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/shree-simandhar-swamis-janma-kalyanak-2021/ Tue, 04 May 2021

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/humanity-wins-over-covid-with-relentless-selfless-service/ As the second wave becomes nastier than the first wave in India, it has triggered many challenges for its healthcare system and its yet-to-recover economy. However, it has not restricted what humanity can do to give as much selfless relief as possible to the struggling COVID patients. This is being felt right now in Adalaj, a small town in Gujarat wherein the Dada Bhagwan Foundation (DBF) and its sister concern, the Amba Health Care and Hospital (AHCH) are serving both local and remotely located  patients across India 24x7. With the tagline of “Manav Mandir ni Seva” meaning service to the human body that is considered a temple, and with the principles of compassion, purity, and sincerity, AHCH’s and DBF’s COVID relief measures are going on in full force. Nothing seems to shatter their hope or relief initiatives; not even the shortage of medicines or staff! The frontline and secondary warriors, of which many are volunteers, just do not look for time, food, rest, and other basic needs; as they only focus on the effective recovery of the patients while motivating their families to pray and persevere. Above all, their noble intent is: “Treatment first, cost secondary; even if we manage to save one life, the whole effort and cost are worth it.” Kudos to this team!!! Medical & Social Care   All residents are getting essential items at their homes. AHCH provides the facility of free home delivery of medicines to the people of The Townships. The local M.T.S Transport Service is also delivering 3 meals a day for the whole family at the doorstep as per the booking details received. Upon booking, even grocery is being delivered at the doorstep. This is done to prevent crowding anywhere in the Townships.  Ambulance and MTS Transport facilities are provided to the residents of the Townships for COVID check-up and testing in AHCH. Daily RT and HRCT tests are done at reasonable rates for the people of Simandhar City, ATPL Township, and nearby areas for early detection. This ensures that the people of Adalaj do not have to travel to adjacent cities for these tests. AHCH provides Day Care treatment when a  patient seems to have COVID ((low oxygen level and/or high temperature as symptoms) and is looking for assistance. Experienced doctors take care of such patients by giving timely treatment as well as guidance. The doctors are relentlessly giving online free Telemedicine and Tele OPD consultation to the residents of  The Townships. The AHCH team provides free essential health check-up devices such as pulse-oximeter, BP monitor, oxygen concentrator, and thermometer either free or on nominal rent. A COVID Care Unit (CCU) with 25 beds has been set up recently in this small town, which is on the second floor of AHCH building. Here, severe COVID patients and those suffering from low oxygen are treated. Devices and equipment such as ventilators, high flow cannulas, and HDUs, oxygen cylinders are available. This unit has been set up with an aim of being self-sufficient in COVID treatments and giving homely treatment to the affected residents  in their locality so that they do not have to go outside for the treatment. For this purpose, specialized doctors and experienced paramedical staff have been recruited recently. The facility is planning to have more beds soon although dependent on various factors mainly, availability of doctors, intensivists, nurses, attendants, supply of medicines, oxygen, etc.   AHCH is providing home-based treatment with an oxygen concentrator, if required. AHCH, a recognized COVID hospital, has recently purchased few liquid oxygen tanks so that it can provide piped oxygen when required. As the challenge is to have a regular supply of oxygen refills, there are jumbo oxygen cylinders and 80 oxygen concentrators as well. Despite facing the shortage of all types of essential COVID medicines and injections, dedicated teams are working around the clock to procure them. For some cases that require additional care due to which they are treated outside AHCH, AHCH pays for the patient’s treatment. Once discharged and fully recovered, the patient or family may choose to reimburse AHCH in part or whole; this reimbursement is not mandatory. Each COVID patient gets a daily call from her or his doctor or coordinator for follow-up and health updates. Sankul bhaio & baheno (a team of celibate men and women) call the affected patients or families to give them moral or spiritual support. Even the neighbors and building coordinators provide social and emotional support. This is done to make them strong and stable in tough times while preventing the risk of developing psychological issues. AHCH medical staff, the Sankul, young celibate boys and girls and all Mahatmas are working as a team. By supporting the patients’ local and remote relatives in this way and helping in getting all the medical essentials, the aim is to set the medical staff free so that they can concentrate on the patients. Covidshield and Covaxin vaccination drives are being held regularly at the AHC Campus. Until now, around 2500 residents have been inoculated with the first dose. Apart from the CME for doctors, AHC shares educational webinars, short videos, and useful literature to the community for keeping the residents updated on how to take effective care amidst the current COVID pandemic situation. AHC doctors coordinate with renowned hospitals and their experts to handle critical COVID patients more effectively and stay updated about the COVID treatments. They have built a good rapport with various senior doctors. COVID patients (mahatmas) are having SAMADHI MARAN (blissful death). A dedicated COVID Care team of youngsters has been set up for coordinating with their remote relatives and performing the final rites with heartfelt prayers. Selfless Services Outside Adalaj At different centres in Gujarat and other states across India, free Telemedicine support to COVID patients & Tele OPD Consultation for severe cases are being given. A dedicated team of professionals collects the basic data. Then, depending on the symptoms, some basic medicines are prescribed immediately. A quick review by doctors takes place and then a follow-up is conducted to know whether the patient needs more attention or not. If it is required or the need of direct medical care is felt, the patient is advised to get admitted to a hospital in her or his city if adequate medical facilities are available. The patient is also asked to stay in touch with a local Mahatma doctor if possible. If facilities are insufficient in the patient’s city, the patient is requested to come to Adalaj AHCH. If more help is required, AHCH arranges for a transfer via an ambulance. Facing Tough Challenges Despite facing a shortage of different oxygen equipment, professional staff, infrastructure, and medicines, everyone at the AHCH is working hard round the clock for saving lives. While serving, even doctors and volunteers are becoming COVID positive. However, more and more volunteers are joining the selfless drive and are working for extended hours to ensure a quick recovery.   As many activities are taking place such as vaccination, COVID testing, emergency (non-COVID), COVID day care, essential routine day care, essential routine OPD, dental, and optical; several DBF departments have been scaled down to minimum staff for addressing only essential consultation/services. The remaining staff has now joined this local anti-COVID drive. Thus, it does not seem that there is a shortage of manpower while the cases are rising daily. With the divine grace of Shree Simandhar Swami, Param Pujya Dada, Pujya Niruma, Pujyashree, and Celestial Beings, the dedicated teams at work are overcoming challenges effectively and the complete infrastructure has been setup unexpectedly fast. According to a volunteered doctor, “We doctors are actually doing what we should be doing, which is saving lives and doing our best for the patients without thinking about our own selves in such a tough time. To see a “recovered” patient  being discharged is a wonderful sight.” The Ultimate Prayer for All the COVID Patients across the World Pujyashree, our enlightened master, does vidhi (special prayers) for all COVID patients across the globe daily at 10 pm and one-to-one vidhi for those who are critical. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/humanity-wins-over-covid-with-relentless-selfless-service/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/humanity-wins-over-covid-with-relentless-selfless-service/ Fri, 30 April 2021

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mahavir-jayanti-2021/ Happy Mahavir Jayanti! What are our common reactions when – Someone insults/abuses us OR We’re purposely hit by someone OR When everyone at our workplace/home stands against us Common reactions would be – Feelings of blaming others, anger, despair, revenge, enmity, frustration, depression etc… Such emotions are common to all. But rare are those beings who have risen above it all and won over enmity with love, insult with forgiveness, hatred with flawless vision …And that is why they come to be known as ‘Mahavir’ today. Mahavir means the Powerful One! Powerful, not in terms of strength or valor, but the One who has won over his inner enemies like anger, pride, deceit and greed. Every year, millions of people around the globe celebrate the birth anniversary of Lord Mahavir as ‘Mahavir Jayanti’. Lord Mahavir was born in 599 B.C. in Vaishali, in present day Bihar. At the age of 30, He left His family, the royal household and the worldly possessions and became a monk. Lord Mahavir spent the next twelve and a half years pursuing a life of hard penance to drive away His basic attachments. He strictly followed the principle of ahimsa (non-violence). He endured all the physical hardships of His ascetic life peacefully. One of the biggest teachings of Lord Mahavir was ‘seeing the world as flawless’. Lord Mahavir had said, “The entire world is flawless, and whatever mistakes there were, they were my own, and they have been discovered.” Param Pujya Dadashri elaborates, “When is a person considered to be at fault? It is when the pure Soul of the person is making the mistake. However, it (pure Soul) cannot do anything.” We quickly tend to see faults of others when things don’t go as per our will and this is the biggest reason of binding karmas and being unhappy in life. It is possible to attain the Lord Mahavir-like flawless vision only after attaining ‘Self Realization (Gnan)’. After Self-Realization, one resolves to not see the slightest of fault in others. Therefore, Param Pujya Dadashri’s Gnanvidhi is the starting point to see people as flawless. On this day of Mahavir Jayanti, let’s strive to attain Self-Realization and practice ‘flawless vision’, and thus progress ahead on the spiritual path.   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mahavir-jayanti-2021/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mahavir-jayanti-2021/ Sat, 24 April 2021

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/international-day-of-happiness-2021/ Human life is a journey! Right from birth unto death, one goes through series of events and circumstances. And the decision or the action that one takes, at every juncture, is majorly influenced by some strong factor or feeling; the most prominent of them being, one’s desire to be happy. It’s because man is in a constant search of happiness! Be it in professional life or in the social circle, whether it’s about fulfilling one’s duty and commitments or hanging around with close family and friends, one is always seeking pleasure in everything and from everywhere. Yet, most of the times, one is found to be feeling not so happy within. Why?! Today, being the International Happiness Day, come, let’s take this opportunity to understand why at all do we experience unhappiness of any kind, and thereby also find out the way how we can remain always happy in life. Conflict on every small matter has become a kind of an order of the day in most people’s life, today. Amidst these conflicts and clashes, obviously, how can one remain happy? So, how do we restore happiness in our lives? Param Pujya DadaBhagwan says, “People are unhappy due to lack of understanding!” This means most of the sadness we go through in life is due to our own lack of understanding. We can understand this from the fact that so many times, when we are unhappy, we find that others in the same situation are quite happy. If the situation was responsible for our unhappiness, everyone, when put in that situation, should have been unhappy just like us, isn’t it? However, that is not the case! This means we are unhappy and the other person is not, because somewhere we lack the understanding that the other person exhibits in the given situation. We should find out what that understanding is... because that’s the right understanding! Whatever understanding helps one remain happy, irrespective of the situation or circumstance, is said to be the right understanding. So, first of all, we’ll try to find out the reason why we feel unhappiness. Since it is we who are unhappy, we can surely derive the cause behind it too. If we are able to recognize and pinpoint that which is holding us back and keeping us in pain, we will find the way out of this unhappiness too, by setting the right understanding that can do away with that particular cause. The end result will be bountiful unhappiness then! Generally, it is our own insistences over petty things, our fixed opinions regarding trivial matters, our view point differences with others, differing perceptions over regular subjects, our self-limiting beliefs, our self-created boundaries, our  own anger, our pride, our deceit and greed, which brings in this uninvited guest called ‘unhappiness’ into our life! But, right understanding is like light; the moment it arrives, it drives out the darkness of unhappiness in no time. Next, wherefrom can we obtain the right understanding? You can find a huge repository of enlightened words of the Enlightened One at https://www.dadabhagwan.org/ in the form of free books, videos and webpages that provide simple and effective solutions of various causes that niggle us day in and day out, not allowing us to remain happy! So come, on this International Day of Happiness, let’s resolve to make our world a happy place, by making ‘right understanding’ our way of life!   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/international-day-of-happiness-2021/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/international-day-of-happiness-2021/ Thu, 18 March 2021

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-nirumas-punyatithi-2021/ The world we are living in is rapidly changing…and today it is changing faster than ever before. Along with the external changes, we often keep changing internally too, based on our experiences and everyday learning. Sometimes amidst this chaos around us, someone comes into our life and this by- chance meeting changes the course of our entire life, sometimes for the best! This is what happened with a young girl named Niranjana (Niruben) from Aurangabad who was studying to become a doctor and serve mankind. The life-changing event happened when she was in her final year at college, and the rest is a story of inspiration and motivation for all. Let’s read about some of the incidents that happened in the life of the little ‘Niranjana’, which made her rise to the state of ‘Niruma’ (an icon of Pure Love)! MEETING THE MASTER Whilst in her final year at college, Niranjana’s (Niruben’s) brother told her about Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, the Enlightened One, with whose grace, anyone could attain Self Realization. Her brother said, this knowledge was so powerful that no worldly troubles or worries would touch her thereafter. Though this incidence might, on the face of it, appear as an ordinary one, but it wasn’t so! It was special in two ways – Firstly, the fact that such great Souls exist around us, in today’s era! and Secondly, we are privileged to know about them and can even meet them in person.  Accordingly, Niruben met Param Pujya Dadashri for the first time in Vadodra. This special meeting happened on June 29 1968. Instantly, upon seeing Dadashri, she felt as if she had known him for many past lives and was now being reunited with him. At that time, a strong desire arose within her, 'How wonderful would it be if I could serve Param Pujya Dadashri until my final breath!' In this first meeting itself, in her heart, she completely surrendered to the Gnani. Thus, this seemingly simple meeting was profound in its own way, as within few moments of meeting, Niruben felt a strong connection with the Gnani and felt a sense of belonging and surrender! This one thing then led to another!... ATTAINING SELF REALIZATION Very soon after this meeting, Niruben attained Self Realization from Param Pujya Dadashri, on July 8 1968 and had the distinct experience of the Self, being separate from Niruben, her relative self. This experience convinced her that the enlightenment she received from Param Pujya Dadashri was indeed working from within. Amidst all of this, everyone in her family was looking forward to the young Niruben setting up her own medical practice. Her father had plans to build a hospital for her. However, by now, Niruben had a different plan in her mind. She thought, “As a medical doctor, I can only alleviate physical ailments. However, if I were to serve the Gnani, I can help so many people suffering from mental, emotional and worldly ailments; as Dadashri would be able to grace them with this unique knowledge of Akram Vignan.” There are so many doctors to help people with their health, but there is only one Gnani Purush to liberate them! With this lofty purpose in mind, she resolved to spend her life in service of Param Pujya Dadashri and help Him spread this knowledge that instilled peace and liberated people from worries and suffering. Thus in 1968, at a tender age of twenty-three, she traded a life filled with worldly comforts for one of devoted service to the Gnani Purush. This was another milestone in Niruben’s life which changed the course of not only her life but of many others too, through her. Within a very short time, she became an exemplary model of seva (selfless service). Niruben’s only goal was to help Param Pujya Dadashri fulfill his profound desire of ‘the world attaining liberation through the simple path of Akram Vignan.’ ULTIMATE BLESSINGS In 1987, greatly satisfied with Niruben’s progress, Param Pujya Dadashri, in His final days, said, "I am very pleased with you Niruben. This Niruben is a great instrument for the world's salvation. Niruben, you will have to become a mother to the whole world. Whenever Niruben wants, Dadashri will speak from within." Thus, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan blessed Niruben with His special spiritual powers so that she too could grace others with Self Realization and continue the work. She in turn, promised to fulfil His vision for the world's salvation, until her last breath. Nothing could ever deter her unflinching determination to fulfill the promise she had given to Param Pujya Dadashri. People lovingly called her Niruma (the mother of all). She continued the mission till the last breath of life! On March 19 2006, Pujya Niruma passed away in a state of absolute samadhi (a blissful state, resulting from being in the state of Pure Soul awareness and complete detachment from the body). Her final message to all was, "Live with Love...Promise?" Many people witnessed Pujya Niruma's spiritual energies during Her physical presence, but countless more are still experiencing Her subtle energies even today! On this occasion of Pujya Niruma’s Punyatithi, let us all remember Her and vow to continue Her mission in our own little ways, and make a special prayer to her, “Dear Niruma, May you be the guiding light for all of us, so that we too can soon become ‘an icon of pure love’ like you!”   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-nirumas-punyatithi-2021/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-nirumas-punyatithi-2021/ Tue, 16 March 2021

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-maha-shivratri-2021/ Happy Maha Shivratri! Maha Shivratri is a special occasion when we connect with Lord Shiva, and thus ourselves. Lord Shiva is known by several names like Mahadev, Mahesh, Bholenath, Neelkanth, etc. In scriptures, He is described as – An omniscient Yogi, leading an ascetic life on Mount Kailash; and A celestial householder, living with His wife Goddess Parvati, and two sons namely, Lord Ganesh and Lord Kartikeya. Indian mythology is full of exemplary feats of Lord Shiva as He is among one of the most revered Gods in Hinduism. There are several tales related to life of Lord Shiva. Most famous amongst them are about Him performing the Tandava Nritya, and even He drinking poison from the urn from Samudra Manthan, which gave Him the name, Neelkanth. Various groups of people worship Him with complete dedication and a deep faith in their hearts that Lord Shiva shall remove all obstacles from their life and will bless their household. Unmarried girls worship Him with a belief that doing so will get them a good husband and some also observe a fast in the name of Lord Shiva to this effect. The non-sectarian ‘Trimandir, present at various locations in India, houses Lord Shiva as one of the main Gods in the temple, to serve as a reminder to His devotees that one’s ultimate objective of human life is to attain the state of ‘Shiva’ from the current state of ‘jiva’. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, the Enlightened One, gives us an interesting explanation of the contrast in the terms ‘jiva’ and ‘Shiva’. According to Him, identifying one’s self as the relative or the worldly self is ‘jiva’, whereas remaining in the awareness that our real Self is the Soul or the Atma, and not the worldly self, is called ‘Shiva’. Isn’t it interesting to discover that the Lord, whom we have always worshipped, is our very own Self?! And in order to experience this fact, all that is required is the grace of the Enlightened One, Gnani Purush, to attain Self-Realization. Reading the above, an obvious question that might arise in everyone’s mind is: If I realize my real Self, can I also become ‘Shiva’? Well, the answer is Yes! Param Pujya Dadashri says, “One is a Shiva, but illusion has arisen; wrong belief has set in. However it doesn’t take long for the jiva to be Shiva again.” All that is required is replacing our wrong belief about the Self, that of, ‘I am John’ with the right belief of ‘I am a Pure Soul.’ Hence, on this pious day of Maha Shivratri, let us all pledge to attain the real Self and become one with the ‘Shiva’ Himself.   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-maha-shivratri-2021/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-maha-shivratri-2021/ Tue, 09 March 2021

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-50th-gnan-day-pujyashree-deepakbhai-2021/ Today, Pujyashree Deepakbhai completes fifty years (the Golden jubilee) of having attained Gnan (Self-realization)! Pujyashree Deepakbhai is the present torch bearer, enlightening the entire world with Akram Science, as founded by Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan! Pujya Niruma moulded Him for the cause; and thereafter assigned Him this service for salvation of the world, which is being accomplished day in and day out, with unfailing sincerity and utmost humility. One, among His many prominent qualities that have helped Him scale to such great heights, both in the realm of Self as well as in the domain of service to the world, is His extraordinary humbleness. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, while explaining the significance of humbleness, says, “‘How do I become smaller (humbler)?’ maintaining this attitude, when one pulls down his ego to the lowest (humblest), the Knowledge of the Self shall blossom within him, tremendously! The tall ego (i.e. I am something, I am better, I know better, extra emphasis on the worldly ‘I’) always brings veils over Knowledge whereas the humblest ego unveils that Knowledge.” Humbleness is a virtue that can be vividly seen in every conduct of Pujyashree Deepakbhai Here are few instances which go on to highlight, how humble He is.... Whenever someone praises any of His worldly skills or spiritual achievements, He promptly says, ‘it’s all by grace of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan!’ and thus passes on the entire credit in the lotus feet of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan. He sincerely believes that had He not have received the grace of Param Pujya Dadashri, the attainment of His present state of being would not have come to being. This is what keeps Him grounded inspite of having risen so high! Many a times, when small kids ask Him some question in satsang, He interacts with them in exactly the same manner, as He would when an elderly person asked Him some question. Do you know why? Revealing the secret behind this gesture of His, He says, ‘the child you see as a three-year-old is actually eighty (the assumed age of child’s past life) plus three (the age of child in present life) i.e. eighty-three years old; and hence he / she deserves that kind of respect.’ This is how He maintains complete humility towards the young ones too! At the tender age of seventeen, He got associated with Param Pujya Dadashri. Ever since, He has actively engaged Himself in whatever service He could provide to support the mammoth cause of the salvation of the world. He had never hesitated in picking up a broom and cleaning the satsang hall, before and after the satsang, or carrying the luggage of elderly spiritual seekers who came to attend Dadashri’s discourse. He would even go and buy grocery so that the food for attendees can be prepared on time. His inner intent was always to be of some help to people who rendered direct service of Param Pujya Dadashri, so that they could remain free to contribute in a better manner for the cause of salvation of world. Also, He preferred to serve at the backend, knowing well that many others were quite desperate to remain near Param Pujya Dadashri and attain His divine grace. Nothing could remain hidden from Param Pujya Dadashri though. Param Pujya Dadashri would silently observe Pujyashree Deepakbhai’s sincerity in each of the tasks He rendered, and He minutely appreciated His virtuous inner state and the enormous spiritual progress that this young lad had made in a very small time period. Seeing all of this, Param Pujya Dadashri would specifically call Him ahead and encourage Him to ask questions. He would say, ‘I like when you ask questions.’ And in His last days, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan gave Him immense opportunity to remain in His direct service too. This shows that by grounding his ego, Pujyashree Deepakbhai did not make any loss; on the contrary it helped the hidden jewel inside Him shine even brighter than before! Pujyashree Deepakbhai has never allowed any negative emotion to overrule in His case; he would nip the evil in the bud right away, by applying Gnan (the teachings of Gnani). This is how He has attained the great spiritual height, He is at, today. He has always harnessed the humblest belief of, ‘I am smaller than others’, as a consequence of which, He is able to successfully observe and appreciate the good qualities of others. These examples teach us how we too can practice humbleness in our life by setting Pujyashree Deepakbhai in our eyes as the living example. And on this special day, when Pujyashree Deepakbhai completes His glorious fifty years of Self-realization, come, let us all earnestly pray to God that, ‘May Pujyashree Deepakbhai attain the greatest possible height in the realm of Self and with His grace, may the whole world progress on the path of liberation!’ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-50th-gnan-day-pujyashree-deepakbhai-2021/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-50th-gnan-day-pujyashree-deepakbhai-2021/ Thu, 04 March 2021 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-valentines-day-2021/ Today is Valentine’s day, the day to celebrate love! Love gives lifelong happiness, provided it is real. But how do we know the love is real or illusory? Today, in the name of love, selfishness and feign is widely prevalent. Also, by getting lured in the fantasy of having a relationship, one often plunges into it without giving any adequate thought to it. How can such love be anywhere close to the real love then? We fail to recognise true love as we are generally not aware how is this love actually and how do we develop such love within us? So come, let’s learn more about what are the characteristics of true love... True love takes us to the destination of Godly Love One having true love does not change their certificate (opinions) for the other person based on someone’s good or bad behaviour, for behaviour is dependent on the circumstances one is surrounded with. If one’s opinion does change, it means it is worldly attachment and not true love. Where there’s worldly attachment, one usually keeps pointing out mistakes, based on one’s own misunderstandings. However, true love never finds any flaw in the person one loves. Where there is true love, there are no expectations. Whether the better-half performs his / her duty well or not, whether they help you in return or not etc., true love remains as it is, undisturbed and unperturbed. True love always puts forward the needs of the other person, while dealing with any situation. Rather than me, my, mine, it gives priority to other’s feelings, and before deciding on any matter, it always takes into consideration the points that signify welfare of all and which leads to achievement of the overall long-term goal. True love never hurts others whether loved, ignored, cheated or betrayed. One that retaliates or harnesses the feeling of revenge is not said to be true love. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “Real love exists where there is no selfishness; where there are no feelings of ‘yours and mine’. Wherever there is a feeling of ‘yours and mine’, there is definitely selfishness there and ignorance of the Self as well. It is because of this ignorance that people have feelings of ‘this is mine and this is yours’. When one acquires Gnan (Self-Realization), one ceases to have feelings of ‘mine and yours’ and attains real love." So come, let’s rise above selfish love, ascend to true love, and aim for the ultimate real love This Valentine’s day, let’s pray that may every living being in this world be graced by Gnani with the gift of real love that liberates. Real love is unadulterated and pure. Such unadulterated Godly love transforms man into God! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-valentines-day-2021/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-valentines-day-2021/ Thu, 11 February 2021

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/bye-bye-2020-and-welcome-2021/ Welcome New Year 2021 2020! A year that was… 2020 was a challenging year on the global level. The pandemic changed a lot of things around us. In fact, it questioned the vulnerability of human existence on this planet. Though the year 2020 was filled with uncertainty and despair but we must not forget that every bad situation surely teaches us lessons that we wouldn’t have learnt otherwise. This short time out from our fast paced life forced us to reexamine our priorities, our relationships, our values and even ourselves. In situations like these, where a common man might feel helpless and lost, Self- Realized Souls have an extra-ordinary way of taking things in their stride and progressing ahead on the spiritual path. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan was one such person who since the manifestation of Gnan (Self Realization) never got affected or upset with any external circumstances or events. His state of awareness is evident from the fact that if He was running a fever and someone was to ask Him, “Do you have fever?” He would respond by saying, “Yes, A. M. Patel (The physical body) has fever, and I am aware of that.” There are two ways to deal with situations in life. One is by staying positive in every situation that one has to face and another way is to realize who we really are with the grace of an enlightened person. What sets an enlightened person (Gnani) apart from the common man? It is His way of looking at things that arises from the true knowledge of the Self and the world around Him. And the best part is that He is able to bestow this knowledge of the Self to others too. This science of effortlessly attaining Self Realization came to be known as Akram Vignan. This science not only helps one progress spiritually, but also helps one carry out worldly interactions with ease. Tens of thousands of people around the world have experienced enormous benefits of Akram Vignan in this most difficult time of their life. Why not we then? So come, as we are about to enter the new year, let’s resolve to get the knowledge of our true Self from Current Living Gnani (Pujyashree Deepakbhai Desai) at the earliest so that we too can live a life filled with immense positivity and sheer bliss. Wish you all a very Happy New Year! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/bye-bye-2020-and-welcome-2021/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/bye-bye-2020-and-welcome-2021/ Fri, 25 December 2020

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-diwali-2020/ Diwali is coming and the world around is all set to welcome it with a new zest. It is the biggest festival, celebrated and considered auspicious by people, across various castes and religions. Rows full of lamps are lit that display and communicate vibrancy. The lamps symbolically indicate that we shall remain bright and full of energy at every stage of life we are given to pass through. Remaining so may not change our circumstances, but it will certainly build in the spirit to overcome the problems and sustain through life. How can we bring this vibrancy into ourselves while going through various facets and stages of life? Through Right understanding!! Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “The right understanding that has become wrong is the reason why bitter fruits have come about. Wrong understanding is misery and right understanding is happiness.” Thus it is the understanding that one has, or one receives from outside, which becomes the basis of the misery or the happiness one experiences in life. So, whenever we feel miserable in life, we need to understand that there is some ignorance or lack of understanding on our part, which is responsible for it. Let us understand with the help of the below narrated incidences, how we tend to suffer by our wrong understanding and how can we come out of that suffering through right understanding. Suppose someone insulted you by saying, “You have no brains, you are foolish!” What would happen to you then? You would get upset and annoyed, right? But just think and see, whatever he said, isn’t it a fact? You do not have knowledge or understanding regarding so many worldly matters. And one or two matters in which you may have knowledge, also may not be up to the mark when compared with the depth of the knowledge the experts have reached. Then, why should anything that is a fact said, affect you? It is because we believe that, “I am smart, I know everything (in spite of knowing mere one or two things).” It’s only this wrong understanding that upsets us and makes us feel insulted. If someone insults you saying, “You are useless”, why to get upset? Can you not set it up, saying, “That’s true. I am indeed useless and unworthy for this world. But definitely, I am worthy for liberation.” So, it’s not only about a common man, even Enlightened beings, at their elevated stage, face circumstances that could be disturbing; but they remained steadfast and furthermore, in equanimity, both outwards and within. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “Understanding is referred to that which does not allow one to trip and fall.” And the ultimate right understanding is gained when we receive the knowledge of ‘Who am I’ and ‘Who is the doer’ from the Enlightened One. This helps us solve any problem in life! Hence, on this auspicious occasion of Diwali, let’s clear all the cob-webs of wrong understandings that have caused immense misery to us, and illuminate our life with the light of the Right understanding. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-diwali-2020/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-diwali-2020/ Tue, 10 November 2020

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-navratri-2020/ Navratri is a nine nights’ festival of devotion and bhakti, celebrated with a lot of fervour and faith, towards the great Goddess Amba Ma! The devotees, during these nine days, observe total fasts, meaning they eat nothing at all; and at night, they celebrate by playing garba, a traditional Gujarati dance, performed to the tunes of the devotional songs in praise of the divine Goddess Amba. In eastern India, this festival is also marked by the grand Durga Puja, done on the tenth day, to celebrate the splendid victory of Shakti of Maa Durga over the evil (of the demon Mahisasur). Amba Mataji is presently a living celestial being, residing in the higher heavens (Devlok)! She is a symbol of Adhyashakti, meaning the original energy force. She represents the power of sahaj prakruti (the energy of the natural state of being). Therefore, if one knows how to worship her rightly, one stands to gain lots in his worldly life. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan explains, “Anyone who wants a prakruti that brings worldly benefits, they should worship Mataji, the Goddess Mother. And those who want Moksha [ultimate liberation] should worship the Soul [the real Self]. Those who want both should worship both.” What is the right way to worship Amba Mataji? Each celestial God or Goddess (Dev or Devi) have their set of rules. And one who abides by those rules, the celestial beings naturally remain highly pleased with them. Gnanis never break or violate any of their rules. They give due respect to them and always consult them before taking any important steps. That’s the reason all Gods and Goddesses remain pleased with Gnani. They give them immense protection by being present around them all the time. The grace of the celestial beings constantly flows upon Gnani. They are always with Him, providing Him complete protection and endless support in the work for the salvation of the world! Thus, abiding by the rules set by Goddess Amba Ma indeed is the right way of worshipping Her! How do we abide by the rules of Goddess Amba Ma? When we do not do anything that breaks the natural state of prakruti, we are said to have abided by the rules of Goddess Amba Mataji. In other words, when we try and maintain unity in our thoughts, words and actions, when we say what we think and do what we say, we are said to have abided by the rules of Mataji. What are the benefits of abiding by the rules of Goddess Amba Ma? When our intention is pure and our efforts are sincere in maintaining unity in what we think, say and do, we are blessed with enormous power of the body-complex (mind, speech and body). Amba Ma is an embodiment of energy. So, when unity of mind speech and body energy happens, we attain the energy. Goddess Amba Ma gives us strength to destroy our worldly obstacles. Our prakruti (the worldly self) becomes natural, powerful and is energized. We experience peace and harmony within us. So come, this Navratri, let’s strengthen the bond of our faith and devotion towards Amba Mataji by abiding by her rules very and seek her powerful blessings to progress well in life!     https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-navratri-2020/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-navratri-2020/ Thu, 15 October 2020

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/teachers-day-2020/ Teachers are like Navigators who drive us onto the Right Path! In India, 5th September is celebrated as a Teacher’s Day, to mark the birth anniversary of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishan, the first Vice President of India, who has been a great teacher indeed and a philosopher too. It is a day to pay tribute to all teachers, who play an extraordinary role in moulding people into good human beings. Teachers impart knowledge that establishes in us the right understanding. They equip us with enormous strength to battle any kind of hardship in life. The presence of teachers or Gurus in our life is extremely important for our academic, social as well as spiritual progress. However, to benefit to the fullest from this teacher-student relationship, it is imperative for the latter to maintain utter humility and complete sincerity towards their teachers. Teachers Enlighten our Path to Progress! History is laden with umpteen examples that demonstrate how a disciple reaches the pinnacle in his life, owing to his exceptional respect, humility, dedication and devotion towards his Guru (teacher). Chanakya and Chandragupta, Dronacharya and Arjun, Shivaji Maharaj and Ramdas Swami are some of the iconic examples of an ideal Guru-shishya relationship! These examples are famous not because of the achievements of the shishya as much as they are remembered for the divine virtuous bond that the shishya shared with his Guru!! The Law of Nature is Such that when We Surrender to our Guru, We Attain His Energies! To explain this, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan cites an example of two water tanks joined by a pipe. No matter how much water is in one tank, the other tank quickly picks up the same level of water. That is the power of true samarpan (surrender) to Guru!! But unfortunately, today, with the changing times, these virtues are seen to be taking a backseat. At many places, students tend to openly badmouth or criticize their teachers. No, this is not right! We must know there are grave dangers in doing so. Must Never Criticize or Even See Faults of Teachers / Gurus Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan emphatically says, “Once you have made someone your Guru, if you are going to criticize him, then this weakness will get in the way of your progress. Instead, it is better that you do not make him your Guru. Otherwise there is a terrible liability in doing so.” By seeing faults in teachers / Guru or criticizing them, the disciple can ruin all his gains in no time. All the efforts and achievements of the disciple go to waste. Doing so, one not only binds heavy demerit karma but also hinders his progress in life. Hence, on this Teacher’s Day, let us pledge to never again criticize or see faults of our teachers at all. We’ll respect them always! After all, our progress depends on them. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/teachers-day-2020/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/teachers-day-2020/ Thu, 03 September 2020

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/power-of-pratikraman-2020/ Forgiveness - a word that we keep hearing so often in different situations... sometimes in relation to forgiving others and sometimes it is about seeking forgiveness for ourselves. Though giving and receiving forgiveness are seen as two different things; the results of both are the same. It makes the person feel lighter, grateful, motivated and happier! All religions have emphasized the importance of forgiveness in their own ways. But the benefits of forgiveness are truly experienced, when done rightly. A lot of times, people may think that, “Ohh! What’s the need to ask for forgiveness for such a petty thing” or some may even think, “I have no hang-ups. I keep forgiving people all the time.” At times it could be our inability to understand how we have hurt the other person, knowingly or unknowingly. But sometimes, it is our ego that comes and blocks the way! It makes it difficult to forgive or ask for forgiveness from someone. Hence, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, a spiritual scientist of the modern era, gives us a scientific tool called ‘Pratikraman’ using which, we can, with true repentance, ask for forgiveness from someone without having to say a single word to that person directly. Let’s know more about it. What is Pratikraman? Pratikraman is a way to retrace our steps away from our mistakes. It consists of 3 steps – Alochana – Accepting the mistake Pratikraman – Asking for forgiveness for the mistake Pratyakhyan – Resolution to never repeat the mistake again How to do Pratikraman? It’s as simple as making a phone call! In pratikraman, we just have to make a phone call to the Pure Soul residing within the person whom we’ve wronged through our speech, action or thoughts and say, “Dear Lord within, I have made this mistake, please forgive me and grant me strength so that I do not repeat this mistake.” Whose Pratikraman can we do? Of all those around us whom we’ve caused hurt intentionally or unintentionally. Of our extended friends and family who may or may not be staying with us, but we have spoken bad or thought wrong about them. Of anyone who may be dead now, but with whom we’ve had any kind of fights before, or for whom we have some grudge even right now. And even, of people like politicians and other celebrities. Though we might not have hurt them directly through our speech or action but we should ask for forgiveness for keeping wrong thoughts towards them, maintaining prejudiced views against them and even accusing them without knowing the right facts. What are the benefits of doing Pratikraman? Well, the benefits are manifold - From a medical science perspective, forgiveness is like a medicine for the mind. It not only makes us feel lighter mentally but also helps to remain healthy. From religious perspective, it helps us get rid of our negative karma and thus advance further on our spiritual path. From social perspective, it helps us to overcome our negative opinions or feelings against other people and thus foster happy, healthy and harmonious relationships with everyone! When to do Pratikraman? Of course pratikraman should be done daily. However, if we’ve missed doing it daily, we should at least do it once in the entire year. The Jains celebrate their Annual Forgiveness Day on the last day of their 8-days Paryushan festival, and they call it ‘Samvatsari’. On this day, people do special pratikraman wherein they repent and ask for forgiveness for all the sins happened by them in the past year. However, so that we do not miss out on washing off any of our mistake in the surest manner, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan has asked to do a ‘shoot-on-sight’ pratikraman. It means asking for forgiveness then and there, as soon as the mistake happens. Millions of people around the world have experienced the power of Pratikraman. So can you! Let’s make Pratikraman a daily practice and enjoy its benefits.   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/power-of-pratikraman-2020/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/power-of-pratikraman-2020/ Wed, 19 August 2020

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-janmashtami-2020/ Janmashtami is celebrated as the birthday of this revered God. Today He is worshipped and known in various forms and by various names. Many people lead their lives in his devotion, worshipping him, yet it has been seen that they worry a lot even after having sought refuge at the feet of their beloved Lord Krishna. His devotees chant, “I surrender to Lord Krishna.” Why is it so and does this, show our true surrender and devotion? Is not this a point to be thought-off? Lord Krishna has said, ‘Why do you worry? Krishna will do what He wants to.’ This understanding needs to be maintained. Though many feel and few say, it is easy for Lord Krishna to say this but how can one run his daily life without worrying? and thus worry unnecessarily. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says,” If a true devotee of God has worries, he would even scold his God, “You have always told us not to worry, yet I still have worries, why is that?” This is what he would say out of his true devotion and surrender for his dear Lord. He would by this means give his worried piece of mind to Lord Krishna and this way gets relieved of his worries by way of his true love and surrender for Lord, which is hard to find these days. Not only Lord Krishna but all others have said the same thing about worrying. Even Lord Mahavir has said one should not worry. He has said that worrying brings animal life form and it is considered as highest form of ego. Many of us know this yet why do we worry even after surrendering to our dearest Lord Krishna? The reason behind this is explained by Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, “When there is a perpetual sense of, ‘I am the one, who runs all these things,’ thus worries will arise.” Hence, we continuously have sense of we are running everything and we have to make it well, keep going or improve. We feel if we do not do something it shall not happen. This is something where we silently keep on breaking our surrender and thus worry rules our life. Let us gift our complete surrender to Lord Krishna on His birthday and become His true devotee by leading a worry free life. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-janmashtami-2020/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-janmashtami-2020/ Mon, 10 August 2020

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-parents-day-2020/ Who is the one – whom we first meet when we step into this world? who teaches us the basic skills of living? who cares for us at all times, be it highs or lows? who stands by our side always, no matter what? Yes! It’s none other than our parents. Parents hold an unmatched and irreplaceable place in every person’s life They are the reason for our existence today. And they are the reason for what we are today! Parents’ Day therefore is the day dedicated to recognize, appreciate and be grateful towards the most fundamental and pivotal role that the parents play in our life.  Every parent constantly strives to give the best to their child Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan therefore urges us to serve our parents. He explains that serving one's parents is one's moral duty. Being their child, it is our religion to serve them. And the rule is, if you give happiness to your parents, you too will receive happiness. Those who make their parents happy will never be unhappy whereas, the one who sees faults in his/her parents will never prosper. Such a person may be materially wealthy, but s/he will never progress spiritually. So, one should never find faults in parents. If we’ve hurt our parents, it’s time to take a U-turn through Pratikraman And in spite of having the best intention of serving our parents sincerely and dutifully, if we happen to behave offensively with our parents sometimes, or we hurt them by being mean or rude to them someday, Param Pujya Dadashri suggests that we must do PRATIKRAMAN. Pratikraman means apologizing for our mistake and seeking forgiveness for it with true repentance in our heart. It is best we bow down and touching their feet we seek forgiveness. But if for some reason this cannot be done, we can remember the Pure Soul residing in our parents, and pray to them, “Oh God, I have done the mistake of hurting my parents through my rude behavior. With true repentance in my heart, I seek forgiveness for the same. Please pardon me and grant me strength so that I do not ever repeat this mistake.”   In today’s times, the thoughts and ideals have sharply declined. Hence, it may happen that in spite of resolving not to hurt our parents, we may commit the mistake of offending them yet again. If that happens, do pratikraman once again. And if we feel it has become our daily habit to misbehave before our parents, we must introduce the practice of doing pratikraman too every day. Before going to sleep, for ten minutes, we’ll close our eyes and introspect where all we hurt our parents through our thoughts, our words or actions today. And remembering every such instance, we shall whole-heartedly do pratikraman, as explained above, and wash off our daily mistakes. Let’s express our gratitude towards parents through our resolve to keep them happy No matter how high we rise in life, we can never overlook the fact, ‘The hand that rocks the cradle, rules the world’, can we? On contemplating the fact of how we owe our very existence to our parents and also our achievements in life so far, I’m sure we’ve all got very eager to express our endless gratitude towards our parents! So come, on the occasion of the Parent’s Day today, let’s give our parents their due share of love and appreciation in all our achievements; and resolve to sincerely serve them and keep them happy, today and everyday throughout their life. Happy Parents’ Day!     https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-parents-day-2020/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-parents-day-2020/ Thu, 23 July 2020

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/global-forgiveness-day-2020/ Global Forgiveness Day is a day to rivet our attention on a very important act, which is that of forgiveness. Forgiveness is one of the greatest virtues. And therefore, almost every religion preaches in favour of ‘forgive and forget’, and teaches how we can live a happy and peaceful life by ‘allowing the act of forgiveness to supersede one’s feelings of revenge!’ But even while we may like to endorse these preachings, we generally have so many complaints for people around us, “My family does not understand me, my boss does not involve me in the project, the pickpocket robbed me, etc.” And we strongly believe that ‘it is because of them that I had to suffer!’ The biggest glitch therefore while forgiving someone is, ‘why should I, or how can I forgive him / her when I had to suffer so much due to that person’s fault(s).” This is where Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan shows us the light by serving the wonderful science of: ‘The Fault Is Of the Sufferer’ According to the worldly law, the one who inflicts pain is at fault, while as per God’s law or the Nature’s law, ‘The fault is of the sufferer.’ When our pocket gets picked, then who is at fault? Our neighbour’s pocket did not get picked. Why it is that only our pocket got picked? It is because the regulation as per God’s law, the real law, catches only the one who is at fault. This law is exact and precise - the fault is always of the sufferer. The one who inflicts pain will have to suffer some day for this deed of his. However today, it is our own wrong and faulty past deed which has been caught, and hence being punished for by Nature. Without fault, suffering cannot arise! Over and above, when we choose to blame others and try to prove that it is indeed the other person’s fault, we are committing further more faults. More faults means more suffering to come! Thus, the sequence of our suffering keeps multiplying! One creates constant pain and worries by pointing out faults in others. This is what creates suffering day and night. And on top of that, we feel, ‘I have to suffer so much.’ When We Can See the Other Person as Innocent, the Forgiveness Is Spontaneous and Genuine So, to curb our sufferings, we must first begin by forgiving all those people whom we have regarded to be faulty so far, for we now know that it was we who were really faulty. Our intellect will show, “This person did this mistake and he spoilt my work.” But after knowing the science of, ‘The fault is of the Sufferer’, we will be able to forgive the person very easily as we realize that scientifically the other person is merely a post-man chosen by Nature to deliver the result of my wrong deeds. It was only to punish my deeds that Nature got him to do this! Next We Go Further and Seek Forgiveness From God For Our Faults Param Pujya Dadashri says, “The suffering exists to the extent that a fault exists. When the fault comes to an end, then no person in this world, no circumstance, will be able to give us suffering.” Thus, on this special day, at home, in business, at work, everywhere, to find out, ‘Whose fault is it?’, we shall investigate, ‘Who is the one suffering in this?... I am suffering; so it is my fault. Hence I seek forgiveness from God for this fault; and ask Him for strength so that I do not repeat this mistake.’ This will help wash off our mistakes, one by one. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “If you are pure, no one can do anything to you - such is the law of this world. Therefore, if you want to break your mistake, then you should break it.” So, why not break it then? And on what better day can we begin that other than today, the Global Forgiveness Day!!! So come, let us today determine to apply the above understanding at every step in our life, adopt this virtue of forgiving others for the visible mistakes and seeking forgiveness from God for our own faults, and thus set ourselves free from suffering so that we can live our life very happily.   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/global-forgiveness-day-2020/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/global-forgiveness-day-2020/ Mon, 06 July 2020

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-gurupurnima-2020/ Guru Purnima is celebrated as a festival dedicated to Guru. A Guru is the one who acts as a guide to their disciples and shows the path to salvation. Rooted in Sanskrit, the word Guru is derived from ‘gu’ which means darkness and ‘ru’ which denotes the removal of darkness. Hence, a Guru or a teacher is believed to be the one who removes all darkness from our lives. There are two types of guru, one who guides in worldly life and another who guides on spiritual path. Both are equally important in one's progress. Param Pujya Dadabhagwan says, ‘Guru is the one whose very sight makes our heads bow.’ Just upon seeing him, our head will bow. That is why if one is a guru, then he must be such that he dissolves all egos. Then you can attain liberation, but not otherwise. Guru is a lighthouse with whose help we navigate through the obstacles and safely reach the port (our final destination). If you are at the level of twelve cents and he is at the level of fourteen cents, then you should sit with him, because only the living guru can show you your faults. You must always be open and ready to accept whatever faults your Guru shows you, do not retaliate nor protect them or get angry.  Guru looks after you in every situation that you get placed in, while in His association. He inspires you, guides you, protects you and ensures that you rise above all the difficulties that come your way and reach your ultimate destination. Guru is a beacon of light so that we don’t get lost; a beacon of faith such that we never lose hope. Only the one who is living and present can help you, so on this auspicious occasion of Gurupurnima, let us all take this opportunity to resolve that we shall always be sincerely willing to listen, accept and introspect upon whatever our Guru points out to us, as His ultimate goal is our spiritual progress. On this day, Param Pujya Dadabhagwan says that He is completely detached from worldly interactions and becomes one with ‘Dada Bhagwan’ (Enlightened Soul) that has been manifested within Him. Hence, one can ask for infinite strength and immense blessings for their spiritual progress on this day. Guru Purnima is thus a day, to ask for strength and take blessings from guru, to get the right understanding to have complete awareness and become one with the pure Soul. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-gurupurnima-2020/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-gurupurnima-2020/ Fri, 03 July 2020

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mothers-day-2020/ Happy Mothers’ Day! This is the day to honor and appreciate the importance and love of all Mothers. There’s no greater worldly love than that of a Mother! A mother plays a pivotal role in the life of her child’s growth and development. Mother nurtures the future of the country with great love, care and good cultural values. She ensures that her child stands up, becomes a responsible human being and leads a very happy life. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan always said, his mother, Zaverba, was a very noble lady; and he described how his mother played an important role in his life since childhood; how she molded his character to make him an extraordinary figure. Let’s take a quick glimpse of one such incidence in Param Pujya Dadashri’s life to understand this. One day, the little Ambalal (Param Pujya Dadashri) came home, having fought with another boy, who stayed in his neighbourhood. He beat the other boy such that he had started to bleed. When Zaverba got to know about it, she very lovingly explained to Ambalal, “My dear, just as you did, if someone hit and bruised you, I would have to apply medicine to you, isn’t it? Right now, that boy’s mother too must be applying medicine on her child’s wounds. He must be crying and must be in so much of pain! So, look son, from now on, never hurt anyone. If you come home hurt, I will take care of you.” Such was her nobility!! She lovingly and compassionately made Param Pujya Dadashri understand why he should not beat others. She taught him the highest lesson of life, ‘never hurt others; not even when someone hurts you’; and thus instilled in him the virtues of nobility and non-violence. This is how a mother makes her child a Mahavir!!! Since today is a special day, celebrated in the honor of that special person who brought us in this world, taught us moral values so that we become a good human being, inculcated in us great virtues to help strengthen our inner personality, and showered all her blessings onto us so that we can accomplish our goals and lead a successful life; so, let us all, greet our dear Mother today, feeling greatly grateful to her for making us reach where we have, in our life today! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mothers-day-2020/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mothers-day-2020/ Fri, 08 May 2020

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/everyone-involved-in-the-mission-of-selfless-service-2020/ In Adalaj, relief efforts to battle the Coronavirus pandemic have been going on with great energy for many days. At the same time, similar efforts of Dada Bhagwan Parivaar have begun in many other cities, in accordance with Pujyashree’s desire. Come, let’s see a glimpse...   At Dada Bhagwan Parivaar’s Vadodara Trimandir, volunteers are preparing food packets for those who are continuously serving in the fight against the Coronavirus, such as doctors, police and other government staff.  At all of Dada Bhagwan Parivaar centers across Gujarat, kits full of grains and other groceries are being distributed to those in need. This is happening at many centers such as Rajkot, Morbi, Bhavnagar, Valsad, Navsari and Vadodara, as well as in areas around Adalaj.  The positive echoes of this mission of selfless service have been felt around the world and similar efforts have begun in other countries as well. In Australia, at Dada Bhagwan Parivaar’s Perth center, mahatmas are cooking food every day for those in need.   Pujyashree Deepakbhai is praying every day that the entire world become free of this pandemic very soon and attain peace and happiness. He is explaining the same thing to everyone through spiritual discourses done via video conferencing technologies.  With the intent that, May the entire world attain peace and happiness, Jai Sat Chit Anand.                 https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/everyone-involved-in-the-mission-of-selfless-service-2020/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/everyone-involved-in-the-mission-of-selfless-service-2020/ Mon, 20 April 2020 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/shree-simadhar-swami-janma-kalyanak-2020/ Suppose you encounter some problem in your life. Who do you think will come to your help at the earliest - someone who’s living right next to you, or your dear Aunt who stays abroad?  Obviously, one who is nearest can help us the fastest! Similarly, we may have great devotion and love towards the Gods and Goddesses of our faith, which is very good; there’s absolutely no harm in that! But should we not know which Lord is the closest to us?  Gnanis, the Enlightened Ones, have discovered that Lord Simandhar Swami, who is presently residing in Mahavideh Kshetra (the neighbouring world), is the closest to our Bharat Kshetra (the world we reside in); and hence our prayers reach him the fastest.  Lord Simandhar Swami Is A Tirthankar!!! Just like Lord Rishabhdev and Lord Mahavir were the Tirthankaras in Bharat Kshetra, Lord Simandhar is the present living Tirthankar in another location called Mahavideh Kshetra. The ‘Tirthankar’ status is no ordinary status; in fact it is the topmost and the toughest status to attain in this world! One can achieve salvation only when one does the real darshan (see with utmost reverence and experience what He is experiencing spiritually) of Tirthankar!!!  Recognizing the living Tirthankar, awakening one’s devotion for Him, establishing a connection with Him through continuous worship, attaining His live darshan and acquiring Keval-Gnan (Absolute Enlightenment) verily is the only way we can make it through the narrow path of liberation. This is what the Gnanis say!!  As Our Worship and Devotion for the Lord Increases, So Will Our Connection with Him Grow Because of the difference in two worlds, physically, we cannot meet Lord Simandhar Swami in this birth.  But Param Pujya Dadashri shows us the easy way to connect with Him from here. He says, “Lord Simandhar Swami is present, but not in our world, He is in another world. You need a medium through which you can make a connection with Lord Simandhar Swami. I have a natural connection with Him; and the whole world can benefit from this. I have such good relationship with Simandhar Swami that if you do His darshan as I instruct you, it will reach all the way to Him (in Mahavideh Kshetra).”  He further advises us to offer our obeisance to Lord Simandhar Swami, by saying the following prayer at least 40 times, everyday: “In the witness of Dada Bhagwan, with utmost reverence and devotion, I bow to Tirthankar Lord Shri Simandhar Swami, who is currently resided in Mahavideh Kshetra.” The Benefit Is Tremendous! Those who constantly revere Lord Simandhar, worship Him, do His live darshan there, be near Him and sit at His feet, attain complete liberation. There is enormous benefit in being in the presence of the Living Tirthankar, as the vibrations of His Absolute pure Self and the pure atoms of His physical body are floating around in the entire atmosphere.  Therefore, today on the most pious occasion of Lord Simandhar Swami’s Janma Kalyanak (Birthday), come, let us establish a strong, stronger, strongest connection with the Lord, along with a pure wish in our heart, that in our next birth, we get to stay near Him, and with His grace we attain ultimate liberation! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/shree-simadhar-swami-janma-kalyanak-2020/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/shree-simadhar-swami-janma-kalyanak-2020/ Tue, 14 April 2020

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mahavir-jayanti-2020/ Mahavir meaning the One with Supreme Courage! His fearlessness, his courage and the right understanding with which he faced every suffering that came His way on the path of attaining Omniscience, got him the name ‘Mahavir’. Even after over 2500 years of his Nirvana, being the last Tirthankara of this era, his reign prevails and people worship him with utmost faith and devotion. No other Tirthankara had to go through such severe suffering as he had to. Yet, while going through every result of his karmic debts, he never saw others at fault nor did he react. Rather, he always helped and blessed those who came to cause harm to him. How did he do this? And why? Let’s understand... Lord Mahavir, blessed with three higher forms of Knowledge by birth, and being extremely privileged in terms of every worldly and spiritual matter, had to go through such incredible amount of suffering owing to his past karma. However, he finished all his karma by remaining in equanimity and exhibiting unmatched stability so that he could attain ultimate liberation (moksha). He always saw the one inflicting pain on him as faultless, for he very well knew and was fully aware that it was solely his own karma, and no one else, who was responsible for the suffering that came to him. Now, as compared to Lord Mahavir, our suffering is nothing! And whatever we are having to bear is mostly due to our lack of understanding. While going through any suffering or unhappiness, especially when in big magnitude, we often get depressed and disheartened, isn’t it? Here, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan suggests, “The world is not meant for suffering; it is meant for enjoying.” In this world, whatever and whoever we meet in life – the different people, circumstances, situations, etc. – come as a consequence of our past karma. That’s the reason why we see some people smiling while others are suffering. Another general feeling that accompanies is that of blaming the other person(s) for one’s suffering. Param Pujya Dadashri says, “No one in this world is capable of doing anything. Whatever accounts one has already created will bind him. If it is not in your karma, then no one in this world can touch you.” Further, Dadashri explains how the person who we can see inflicting suffering is merely a nimit, or in other words ‘instrumental’ in bringing the result of karma to you. The main cause lies within us!  Therefore, Param Pujya Dadashri strongly suggests, “Give what you would want to receive.” That is the basic principle of karma. If we give happiness, it is happiness that we receive. But if we give suffering, it is bound to return and come back to us in multiple! If we work with the right understanding that ‘suffering is due to my karma only; and I want to finish this karma here and now’, then the effect of suffering will discharge and soon exhaust; and while this happens, we will not sow the seeds of new karma. By adopting such understanding, we too can ensure that all the effects in our life are experienced equanimously without seeing anyone guilty for it, and ultimately, ultimate liberation is attained. So come, on this auspicious day, like Lord Mahavir, let us also determine to face every suffering in our life with the right understanding of finishing our karma without seeing others at fault. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mahavir-jayanti-2020/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mahavir-jayanti-2020/ Fri, 03 April 2020

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-valentines-day-2020/ Valentine’s Day is a day dedicated to the expression of love. People express love using different means like gifts, flowers, chocolates, letters etc. But the definition of ‘love’ keeps changing with time from experiencing love by exchanging notes and chocolates as students to sharing life with your partner in adulthood. True love….really?? Make a list of people whom you truly love. The list can comprise of anyone from within your family, friends, cousins etc. Now rate your relationship with everyone on the list (rating out of 100). Is it the same with everyone? Well, not necessarily. Let’s look at it from a different perspective. Instead of referring to the entire list, what if you’re asked to rate your relationship with any one person only. Think of all your moments with that person and check how consistent has your rating been. Why doesn’t our love remain the same always? Before getting into the reasons for failure in love, let us try to understand what LOVE is in the first place. LOVE According to Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, That which increases one moment and decreases the next, is not love: That which remains the same always, is real love. That where there is no selfishness; where there are no feelings of ‘yours-mine’. That which does not show the person’s fault due to unfulfilled selfish motives of sex, greed or pride. Though we do not want to harbor any negativity or abhorrence for that person, yet we end up doing that. What are the reasons behind it? Non-fulfillment of the expectations or demands from the other person Possessiveness Jealousy Undue importance to material possessions and worldly things… etc. These are some of the reasons that doesn’t let our love rating remain consistent with anyone. How can we improve that? How to develop real love for everyone? By getting rid of our opinions and differences (yours-mine) with people By developing a feeling of Oneness with everyone By not carrying any selfish intent behind our actions By developing the power of forgiveness towards everyone, even those who cause harm to us or hurt us It is not possible to develop all these virtues in a single day but we can at least have an intent of doing so. Being loved and loving others is the greatest virtue of humanity. On this Valentine’s Day, let us take a step forward and celebrate the day in its true spirit. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-valentines-day-2020/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-valentines-day-2020/ Wed, 12 February 2020

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/parayan-highlights-2019/ Like every year, this time too, people from all corners of the world, approximately 8000 in number, assembled in Adalaj, India, to do a devout study (aaradhan) of one of the spiritual books of Param Pujya Dadashri’s teachings. This event is popularly known as ‘Parayan’. This time it was the Parayan of the book, ‘Aptavani 14 – Part 1’, which carries an awesome collection of a series of very good questions asked to Param Pujya Dadashri, that in turn helped Him place before the world, the profound knowledge regarding the substance, the properties and the phases of the eternal element ‘Soul’, at length, through the medium of the simple answers given by Him to each of the questioners. Param Pujya Dadashri’s vaani (spoken words) is Gnan-vaani (real knowledge) and it points to our real Self. So that we understand this vaani correctly, Pujya Deepakbhai, in august presence of whom this event is conducted, explains us the essence of what Param Pujya Dadashri really means to say, in depth, but through a most simplified and elaborate explanation of the matter. This helps each one, depending upon his level of development, grasp the knowledge accordingly and progress to the next mile of his spiritual journey. Principally, as much acquaintance of Gnani is obtained, that many veils of ignorance fall off and that much bliss is experienced. Gnani is therefore called ‘the cash bank’, because in His presence, the ultimate bhaav bhakti effortlessly happens and one gets immediate results. It is just like when one takes a dip in Ganges, the water keeps flowing and his dirt keeps reducing. So during these nine days (Dec 21 – Dec 29) of Parayan: As one availed of the opportunity of direct 1:1 darshan of the Living Gnani. Listened to His live satsangs, and Performed the soul-searching, self-introspection exercises to locate the flaws of anger, pride, greed, attachment, etc. present within, that have been the cause of one’s constant regress, All of these done twice a day in the morning as well as in evening, each one experienced tremendous progress in himself. For this reason, these satsangs are also telecast LIVE on YouTube and Arihant TV channel, so that more and more people can remain more and more connected with the Living Enlightened One!!! This event was characterized by one more highlight i.e. ‘Pratishtha of 1066 small idols (to be installed in individual homes) of Lord Simandhar Swami, the living Tirthankara’ that happened on the last day i.e. Dec 29. Gnani says, “As one’s devotion for Lord Simandhar Swami increases, the connection with Him continues to grow; and finally when the loving bond with Him becomes intimate, one ultimately reaches the feet of this Living Lord in his next life and gets liberated from the cycle of birth and death forever. To sum it all, the benefit derived from this Parayan is invaluable. What one gains out of it is matchless INDEED! Without too much effort, one gets engrossed in the aradhana and automatically experiences a unique transformation and progress in spiritual life.        https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/parayan-highlights-2019/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/parayan-highlights-2019/ Thu, 02 January 2020 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dadashri-punyatithi-2020/ Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, lived life that of a normal human being; but his understanding was like that of an extraordinary personality. In any given circumstance, he had the ability to arrive at a simple and most basic spiritual extract of the matter, indicating the lofty level of his spiritual development. Right from childhood, he displayed an obliging nature as he enjoyed rendering selfless service to the people he met in life. Param Pujya Dadashri always said, “Decide to keep an intention to render selfless service (Seva) to every human being. Our intention should be to use whatever skill or ability we have for providing selfless service. And one should serve humans as God resides in every human being. Serving people with good intentions binds merit karma. And by serving a Sadguru (Gnani), the Enlightened One, one attains salvation! Serving the Enlightened One means to follow his commandments earnestly and most sincerely. In the year 1958, Param Pujya Dadashri attained Self-Realization wherein he experienced the eternal bliss of the Soul. Ever since, he had an intense intent that, “May the entire world attain the happiness that I have attained.” As a result of this humble intent, he obtained the divine power to grace whosoever came to him, seeking the knowledge of the Self, be it a man or a woman, a married person or a celibate, with the vision that helped one attain Self-Realization, in just about two hours (through Gnanvidhi). He became the living example of having attained Enlightenment, while living the worldly life and rendering his worldly responsibilities, without renouncing the world. Thereafter, he graced millions of people with Self-Realization and illustrated how they too can continue to live their worldly life, render their worldly obligations, and yet progress on the path of liberation by practicing His invaluable commandments, at every step in life. By staying in the company (satsang) of the Enlightened One, one who has the right intentions will begin to learn how to practice his given commandments. Thus, Param Pujya Dadashri made it easy for the common man, living in this declining era of Kaliyug, to attain Self-Realization and then, through Seva and Satsang progress on the path of liberation. In 1987, as Param Pujya Dadashri realized that it is time for him to leave his mortal body now, he bestowed special spiritual powers onto Pujya Niruma and Pujya Deepakbhai to continue the work of salvation of mankind. He said, “After I leave, will there not be a need for them? People of future generations will need this path, won’t they?” Oh, what compassion?! Pujya Deepakbhai, who is the living Gnani today, while narrating his own experience on this path, says, “The very first time, my brother brought me to Param Pujya Dadashri saying it will help me in studies. I agreed so that I could perform well in my studies. When I went there, after listening to Dada, i was amazed that, “This is something very nice.” Thereafter in June-July, with this responsibility of Seva coming onto me, I started attending Satsang regularly. Staying with Param Pujya Dadashri for a 10 day satsang event thereafter resulted in the kind of transformation from iron to gold within me.” Gnanis have this divine power to transform our being from that of iron (worldly self full of impurities) to gold (the Pure Soul)! Now, who wouldn’t like such transformation? So come, let’s pray to God that may we meet the right circumstances that enable us to meet Gnani and we spend the rest of our life doing Seva and Satsang, staying in the lotus feet of such Living Gnani!!! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dadashri-punyatithi-2020/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dadashri-punyatithi-2020/ Wed, 01 January 2020

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/bye-bye-2019-and-welcome-new-year-2020/ As we approach one more bend on the time scale, it’s time to express enormous gratitude to the wonderful year 2019 that is coming to an end. The year is like a basket full of varied feelings, that of happiness, joy, faith, inspiration, devotion, and worries too! So as we are about to take a leap into the New Year 2020, lets pick the one thing from our life basket that’s been pulling us down on our graph of progress and humbly request 2019 to carry it along as it leaves, so that we can have a joyful 2020. What is that thing? It is worries. So firstly, let’s understand why is it very important to give this thing away? Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan explains, “Worry is a fire. One becomes consumed with anxieties that something bad may happen. To worry implies taking the matter into your own hands.” To accomplish any task, Nature tells us, ‘do put forth tremendous effort to accomplish the task, but do not worry for it.’ Because when we worry about a task on hand, our effort gets affected, and in the process many a times we ruin the task. Consequently, we suffer by giving ourselves a dual punishment – 1. Our task gets ruined and 2. The grief of mourning we go through. To help reduce this suffering, Param Pujya Dadashri explains by means of an example,” I tell people that if a thief robs you of five thousand rupees, you should realize that it was appropriate and just move on. The first punishment is an effect of your past life karma. And therefore it is appropriate to remember that “whatever happens is correct”. Param Pujya Dadashri explains, “Nothing in this world is worth worrying about, not even for a second!” One must learn to face the entanglements that come your way and find solutions to them.   He further says, rather than fearing the adverse circumstances and keep worrying, it is better to face those circumstances. The ego of facing them is lesser than the ego of worrying. God has said, “Face the adverse circumstances, look for solutions, but do not worry.” What should we do to end our worries? Stay in satsang (stay in the company of the Enlightened One). So, strive to find the right satsang. And until you get the right satsang, whatever life gives you, enjoy it. Enjoy whatever comes forth before you. In other words, learn to live in the present and do not worry about what is not present. So come let us all embrace the year 2020 by presenting a New Year present of our firm resolve to ‘Live in the Present’, from our end!! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/bye-bye-2019-and-welcome-new-year-2020/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/bye-bye-2019-and-welcome-new-year-2020/ Sun, 29 December 2019

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/merry-christmas-2019/ Hey! Did you see that man in the red dress, having a long flowing white beard, with a sack on his shoulders, singing and dancing away merrily to a familiar tune. Yeah! It’s none other than our dear Santa Claus, who’s come with loads of gifts and surprises for all. After all, it’s Christmas time! Time to celebrate and rejoice with our loved ones. But why do we need a special occasion to enjoy with our dear ones? Although we all yearn to spend quality time with our friends and family, unfortunately things do not always turn out as we want them to be. We want to be at peace with everyone, yet conflicts invariably arise due to difference of opinions. Our inability to understand the other person’s viewpoint leads us into clashing over petty matters. Highlighting the dangers of conflicts, Param Pujya Dadashri says, “External conflicts lasts one life but internal conflicts may last for hundreds of life times. They may even last for thousands of life times.” External conflicts or raudradhyan means to cause any kind of hurt to others. This is caused through various ways like hurting others by our speech, taking advantage of people with lesser intelligence, being violent, etc. Internal conflicts or aartadhyan means to hurt one’s own self. Although our innate nature is happiness, we often end up hurting our self by worrying about small things, becoming sad by comparing ourselves with others, taking unnecessary stress, or getting into self-negativity, etc. These conflicts not only affect our relationship with others but they also inhibit our spiritual progress. Yet, from the moment we get up in the morning till the time we sleep, unknowingly, we remain engaged in either of these conflicts. How can one avoid conflicts? So come, on this Christmas, let us try one experiment? Let’s decide that, ‘I do not want to get into any conflicts with anyone.’ Here are some techniques that will help you avoid conflicts – Harness a strong inner intention that, ‘No matter what, I do not want to clash with anyone.’ Even if you happen to get into some conflict, your inner intent should always be, ‘I do not want to clash with anyone.’ This strong resolve itself will help you remain alert during adverse times and gradually lessen the number of conflicts. Make an attempt to understand the other person’s viewpoint. Once you try to put yourself into the other person’s shoes, you might actually get a broader view of things and understand the situation from a different perspective. When someone comes to you and uses abusive language or reprimands you, be alert and avoid giving it back to him. Instead pray for him and ask for strength to avoid doing the same yourself. Recognize the nature of the opposite person. By doing this, you will know how will he react in different situations. This will allow you to remain stable when those situations arise. To begin with, you can try this experiment for a week. And if it works out well, you may continue doing it for the entire year too? So, are you ready to take up the challenge? Just as Santa Claus spreads love and joy to all, on this Christmas, let us also strive to become a Santa for our loved ones and spread joy and happiness from our goodie bags with everyone!! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/merry-christmas-2019/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/merry-christmas-2019/ Mon, 23 December 2019

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-birthday-niruma-2019/ We all want to advance further in our lives, don’t we? But do you know, without humility, a person can never really progress? Our rich culture greatly emphasizes on the importance of humility. Speaking rudely with our parents, annoying our teachers, not listening to our elders, remaining engrossed in mobile or any such device when our elders are talking to us, being interested in only fulfilling our desires even while we very well know that our elders are facing difficulties are traits that are diametrically opposite to the virtue of humility. Until these traits are present, one can never be humble and hence can never experience the inner happiness.   Param Pujya Dadashri says, “One should have a high level of humble and respectful behaviour. Humility is when you speak nicely with your elders, you interact well with them and do not back answer. Our path is of humility and respect. We should take very good care of our elders. Their comfort should be of prime importance.” The practice of humility starts from joining our two hands together to offer respectful obeisance. Pujya Niruma, a proximate disciple of Param Pujya Dadashri having attained Self-Realization from Him, is an outstanding example of humility and devotion she had towards Gnani, the Enlightened One. Today, being her birthday, let’s try and learn from her virtuous life, how she practiced this humility and what did she actually gain out of it! By the way, how do you celebrate your birthday? Maybe throw a grand party, invite friends and family, cut a huge cake, have good food, fun, frolic, etc. - we generally do that, isn’t it? However, the manner in which Pujya Niruma celebrated her birthday was pretty unique. Every December, a special 10 days camp was organized at Pujya Niruma’s home in Aurangabad for Param Pujya Dadashri’s spiritual followers. So, first of all, Pujya Niruma would take Param Pujya Dadashri’s blessings on her birthday. She would ask Him to give her strength to progress on the spiritual path and to work for salvation of the world within the boundaries of Param Pujya Dadashri’s directions. Thereafter, she would bow down to all the followers one by one, heartily seeking blessings from everyone. That shows her humility! Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “Humble ego means to conduct interactions of worldly life with the intent, ‘I am smaller than everyone.’” By believing, ‘I am great’, one enters into competition and gets onto the wrong path. But by harnessing the intent of, ‘I am smaller than everyone’, our ego gradually becomes smaller and smaller and ultimately it becomes absolutely humble. Knowledge is gained through Humility Param Pujya Dadashri, fully aware of Pujya Niruma's unflinching desire for the salvation of the world, groomed her for the job by jabbing, chiseling and carving away all weaknesses and imperfections within her. Pujya Niruma, from her end, accepted and yielded to this process with utmost humility, complete surrender and constant oneness with him, for she very well knew that whatever Param Pujya Dadashri did was always for her ultimate good. This attitude helped her become free from the illusory attachments, her false pride, etc. which could otherwise come in her way and not allow her to rise higher in life. Here’s what Param Pujya Dadashri opined for her, “Niruben has been with me for so many years, but she has never seen a single fault (of Param Pujya Dadashri), not even for a second. Such is this Niruben! Isn’t that amazing? I have observed, not a single day she has had a negative thought.” So today, let us promise Pujya Niruma that we too shall be respectful to our parents, teachers and our Gnani, to whom we are highly indebted, for they have put us on the right path. Being arrogant is out of question now; rather we will maintain utmost humility, both internally as well as externally. And in case our parents and teachers get hurt by us, we shall immediately seek forgiveness for our wrong behavior and ensure that such mistake is not be repeated by us hereafter. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-birthday-niruma-2019/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-birthday-niruma-2019/ Sat, 30 November 2019

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-children-s-day-2019/ When you give happiness to others, you derive immense happiness from within. Have you ever experienced this principle in life? If not, try throwing some grains in your compound today. And then see how you feel within, when birds flock in to eat them. If you find yourself enjoying this feeling, try assisting your mother in her daily chores, in whatever little way you can. Seeing that surprise and smile on Mama’s beautiful but tired face, don’t you forget to see what happens inside you! Are you seeing happiness gushing in your life? This is but natural, for it is a given natural law that when you give happiness, you get happiness! Do you know when Param Pujya Dadashri was a young child, what he used to do? Let’s learn about it in His own words… “Since childhood, I had this quality of obliging nature. Yes, I liked to oblige people. When I was only nine years old, my mother would send me to purchase vegetables, ‘Go and bring some vegetables.’ Now, the vegetable market was half a mile away from home. While I left from home and walked down the street, I would go asking every neighbour on my way, “I am going to buy vegetables, do you want any? If yes, let me bring them for you.” Param Pujya Dadashri reveals His inner feelings, saying, “I was of the feeling that if I brought vegetables only for our home, how futile would that be. Therefore I would ask the neighbours and get their vegetables too. I have spent my entire life in service of others; not a single day have I thought about myself. But I’ve enjoyed it from the bottom of my heart. I liked to please others. ‘How do I make someone happy, how do I oblige people’ was something that I liked to do.” Sharing His words of wisdom, Param Pujya Dadashri nurtures in us the virtue of serving the mankind and guides us from where to begin, “Obliging nature begins from home. Further emphasizing on how being helpful and respectful to our elders is an important aspect to be cultivated in our life.To look after our elders is the highest religion. You will receive what you give. If you are abusive towards your elderly parents all the time, you will encounter similar abuse when you grow old. You are free to do what you want.” It may happen that elders, at times, get angry on us. But let this not dishearten us. Param Pujya Dadashri explains, when a car overheats, don’t we allow it to cool down? Similarly, our elders may have got into some conflict when outdoors, as a result of which, you see a disgruntled expression on their face when they come home. Now, rather than complaining about their disgruntled look; you must understand that they may have encountered some difficulty; and thus wait patiently until they cool down. Did you like Param Pujya Dadashri’s teachings?! So come, today being Children’s Day, let’s resolve to serve our elders everyday happily, heartily and respectfully! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-children-s-day-2019/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-children-s-day-2019/ Wed, 13 November 2019

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/janmajayanti-112-2019/ One hundred and twelve years have passed since the birth of a phenomenal personality, Ambalal Mulji bhai Patel, also known as Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan; and yet His grace and supremacy continues to rise like never before. A very special place has been carved in the hearts of people who have come to know of Him, or have been simply touched by His grace through Akram Vignan, the step less path to Self-Realization. It took only an hour for this science to manifest within Him, where it brought Him final answers to all the questions in this world and a new path of liberation, Akram Vignan, perfectly suitable to the current time cycle opened up. Did all this happen in just an hour? Well, although it might seem so externally, it was actually the result of His spiritual quest of past several lifetimes. He exhibited extraordinary qualities since childhood. When kids of His age were busy playing and studying, young Ambalal was pursuing His journey of finding the ‘truth’ through the everyday life situations. For instance, He discovered God from one of His mathematics assignment at school. It so happened that as the teacher was trying to explain the meaning of LCM (lowest common multiple) to the students, Ambalal remarked that if we consider all these living beings around us as numbers, there exists a common indivisible factor in each of them. This common factor is God! God is in every living being, whether visible or invisible. Now definitely this isn’t what any ordinary child would be able to comprehend at that age. This incident is just one of the many examples of the astonishing qualities He possessed right from the beginning. Be it His family life or domestic life, He demonstrated His immense spiritual wisdom in all the matters and viewed the worldly life in a very different light. After Self-realization, it did not take long for those close to Him to notice that He had been uniquely transformed in some special way. They endearingly began to address Him as 'Dadashri' and very soon it was 'Dada Bhagwan'. He could not bear when he saw people suffering. It was His ardent desire that, “May the world attain the Happiness that I have attained.” With this mission at hand, He travelled extensively to impart this ‘real’ knowledge that He had attained, to everyone He met. Even today, millions of people around the globe continue to be benefitted by this simple yet profound knowledge which would have been hard to attain otherwise. On this occasion of His 112th birth anniversary, let us strive to live by His knowledge and become a part of His mission of spreading happiness and directing people onto the path of salvation. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/janmajayanti-112-2019/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/janmajayanti-112-2019/ Sun, 03 November 2019

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-diwali-2019/ DIWALI is here. And seeing it come, POSITIVITY is in the air! Everyone is in a joyous mood, busy cleaning their homes, decorating their surroundings, putting colourful rangolis, and doing shopping left, right and centre, preparing sweets and delicacies, wearing new and good clothes, visiting friends and relatives, exchanging gifts and hugs, lighting diyas and doing puja. During Diwali, we get to see that not only homes, but every street, office, shop and temple is brightly illuminated. And above all, every heart is illuminated with LOVE and LIGHT. Do you know the reason why? It’s because Diwali is a festival that celebrates triumph of positivity over negativity, of light over darkness! (Light is a metaphor used to signify knowledge) Diwali is a festival that celebrates the spiritual victory of the positivity of Lord Rama, and also the final liberation of the Fully Enlightened Tirthankar Lord Mahavira on this day!! Param Pujya Dadabhagwan says, “It has been going on since the period of Lord Mahavira that those who are positive will flow towards ultimate salvation, and those who are negative will go astray. Therefore we should adopt one principle in life. We should always remain positive. Never give any support to the negative. Whenever any negativity arises, we should remain silent to get rid of negativity by maintaining equanimity. Only positive will remain then. So, in your worldly affairs, stay positive.” Param Pujya Dadashri shows an easy way to migrate from negative to positive. “You do not have to remove anything, you only have to bring in and ‘see’ the positive. The negative will then automatically leave its place. Instead of trying to get rid of darkness, turn the light on. Be determined to remain positive and while keeping your determination, if anything negative happens or comes up, then let go of the negative and always remaining positive.”   One may wonder, ‘why do I get negative in my life, even though I have never done any harm to others?’ To this, Param Pujya Dadashri lovingly replies, “Any suffering, harm or negative that human beings face in their life, is to make them clean of their shortcomings and flaws.” We, very often, naturally, begin to curse, blame or speak negative of others in the name of justice-injustice. Param Pujya Dadashri  Dadashri cautions us by holding a red flag at this point. He says, “The world is never going to be just or unjust. However, we don’t realize the responsibility that comes (the amount of suffering that we are inviting) onto us by cursing others. Therefore, we should not say or act anything irresponsible; rather take everything positively. Do not even listen to anything negative that is being said about others. It is very dangerous.” If someone curses you and you have a bad thought about him that too is considered negative. Positive always gives happiness and negative brings nothing but great deal of grief in life. Life with Gnani, the Enlightened One, is like everyday Diwali!!! So, in the company (saanidhya) of Gnani, let’s illuminate our heart with the light of positivity and allow our love to reach out to each and every being in this world! May the divine light of Gnani spread into your life.

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-navratri-2019/ The festival of Navratri is one of the most widely celebrated, vibrant Hindu festivals and it has been designed to worship Mataji (Mother Goddess) for nine nights. There are several mythological stories associated with this festival of Navratri and accordingly, it is celebrated in different ways all over the country with great enthusiasm and vigour. In India, Mataji is referred to by various different names such as Amba Mata, Saraswati Devi, Lakshmi Devi, Ma Durga, Ma Kali etc. There is a deeper purpose behind the worship of each of these Goddesses. These Goddesses cannot destroy one’s sins, but they do give great energy to the prakruti (the inherent characteristic traits of one’s personality). Each Goddess has her own set of rules and the Goddesses get pleased when we abide by those rules. So come, let us know some more about each of these Matajis (Goddesses) and their respective rules too:   1. Goddess Amba  Goddess Amba symbolizes power and purity! Goddess Ambika is adhya shakti i.e. the original energy force. By worshipping her with great devotion, one's prakruti (nature) becomes natural. To be natural means to be spontaneous without any interference of our mind, intellect or ego. Navratri provides one of the best occasions to do such worship. So come, let's immerse ourself in worship of Goddess Amba and thereby overcome all the worldly obstacles. Rules of Amba Ma – Amba Mataji is pleased when she sees us persevere to come in our natural state. Param Pujya Dadaji says, “We are Goddess Amba’s one and only son and that is why she gives us so much protection.”  2. Goddess Saraswati Goddess Saraswati symbolizes Knowledge! Param Pujya Dadashri says that, “If you abide by all the rules that apply to speech, then Goddess Saraswati will be pleased with you. One must speak the truth but there must be a firm intention of benefit of others too present in that truth.” Rules of Goddess Saraswati – Saraswati Ma is pleased when we refrain from misuse of our speech by saying lies or using foul language or by uttering speech for some malign selfish reasons, etc.  3. Goddess Laxmiji Goddess Laxmiji symbolizes Wealth! The wealth or money that we earn in life is a result of our past karmas. Money never brings peace to those who are greedy or who deceive people in order to acquire more wealth. Laxmiji flows where there is no stealing through the mind, speech or body. Hence, Dadashri says, “If you want ultimate liberation then take only that money which is rightfully yours. Do not take away anyone else’s money forcefully or through devious means.” Rules of Goddess Laxmi – Laxmi Mataji is pleased when we refrain from making money or taking money through any kind of dishonest means. For those who want to progress ahead in life, it is important to follow the rules of all Goddesses. The festival of Navratri gives us a great opportunity to strengthen our devotion towards the Goddesses by understanding the true significance and purpose behind their worship. This helps us not only in leading a happy worldly life but also in turn; it enables us to move ahead on the path of liberation too. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-navratri-2019/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-navratri-2019/ Sat, 28 September 2019 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-pune-india-2019/ On 22nd Sep, 1535 new seekers attained Self Realization through Gnan Vidhi Ceremony in Pune, India. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-pune-india-2019/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-pune-india-2019/ Mon, 23 September 2019

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-teachers-day-2019/ 5th September, Birthday of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan is celebrated as Teacher’s day all over India. On becoming the President of India, his students and friends requested him to allow them to celebrate his birthday. At this, he insisted that instead of celebrating his birthday, it would be his proud privilege if September 5, could be observed as Teachers' Day. Since then, this day has been observed as Teachers' Day in India. Suppose if you want to go to the station from a certain place and if you get lost on the way, will you not have to ask someone for help? Whom would you ask? Definitely, it would be someone who you feel probably knows the way. So the one that knows the way, is a Guru. As long as you do not know the way, you need to ask someone; you may even have to ask a small child. Whomever you ask becomes your guru. Only when there is a guru will you find the way. The guru is the other eye. He clarifies your path and gives you the light to go ahead. Many people feel that knowledge can be gained spontaneously, by itself. In fact that is not true. In fact, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “without a guru, no knowledge of any kind can be attained. Neither worldly knowledge nor spiritual knowledge can be attained without a guru.” One grows up learning the knowledge he has been given. The teacher gives you knowledge and you take it. You in turn give that knowledge to others. Knowledge by its nature involves give and take. Thus, let us today remember and appreciate all the teachers, who clarified our path and gave us light in form of knowledge, to reach where we are today. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-teachers-day-2019/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-teachers-day-2019/ Wed, 04 September 2019

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/the-power-of-forgiveness-2019/ Whether it is simple fight with someone or a misunderstanding with your loved one or some long standing grudge with your friends or business associates, it affects you more deeply than you can imagine. The suffering is in the form of enormous physical and mental burden which people often find hard to let-go. How can one mend this situation whether it has been caused to us or by us to others? Param Pujya Dadashri says, “Life is not meant for hurting anyone. If you hurt the person you will surely have to amend the situation.” And the way to do it is – PRATIKRAMAN. Param Pujya Dadashri has suggested Pratikraman (asking for forgiveness) as a solution to this. And the occasion of Samvatsari is the best time to both forgive and ask for forgiveness for all the grudges of the past. Pratikraman or asking for forgiveness is considered important across all cultures. All religions emphasize it in their own way. For Christians, it is in the form of confession. Jains ask for forgiveness by saying, ‘Michhami Dukkadam’. Hindus call it kshama. And Islam too recommends forgiveness as Allah greatly values this practice. Scientists from around the world have discovered the effects of grudges, anger, hatred, vengeance, etc. on our mental and physical health. If a person experiences this frequently, it increases the risk of depression, heart disease and diabetes along with several other problems. Forgiveness is the way to reverse the adverse effects of negative feelings on our health. Forgiveness calms stress levels, leading to improved health. Dada’s pratikraman tool acts as an immunity booster which protects us from getting caught in a whirlpool of negativity against anyone. The simple way of doing Pratikraman is: Address the God residing in the other person whom we have wronged, and say, “Oh God! I repent for my mistakes. I firmly decide that I shall not repeat such a mistake.” Just by saying these two lines heartily and sincerely, and deciding firmly to not repeat it, the mistakes vanish. So, why wait? Let’s make Pratikraman a part of our daily habit planner. It is an indispensable method of staying fit and happy, both mentally and physically. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/the-power-of-forgiveness-2019/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/the-power-of-forgiveness-2019/ Thu, 29 August 2019

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-janmashtami-2019/ It has been more than 3000 years now that Lord Krishna was born. What is the reason that even today, we celebrate His birthday with so much of enthusiasm and happiness, and worship Him with all the reverence and adoration in our heart? It is because Lord Krishna has given to the world a very wonderful thing namely “Nishkam Karma”, which is the essence of the holy Bhagavad Gita. What is Nishkam Karma? Nishkam Karma means to do everything but without expecting anything in return. Say, you receive some income from your farm, and some from the printing press too that you have started. So you estimate an income of twenty to twenty five thousand a year from both these sources put together. However, actually an income of only five thousand happens this year. What happens then? You will immediately feel you’ve made a loss of twenty thousand, isn’t it? And if you had not kept any expectations at all, would you feel the pinch then? No! Lord Krishna has therefore advocated 'Nishkam Karma Yog' as the ideal path to ultimate liberation. Perform your duties selflessly, without any kind of selfish motive or desire for particular fruits or specific results of the action done by you. However, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan clarifies, “When a person does nishkama karma with the belief of ‘I am Chandubhai (please insert your own name here)’ there is binding of new (punya / merit) karma. Doing such karma makes the worldly life smooth.” But until there is binding of new karma, how can one attain ultimate liberation? Dadashri solves the puzzle as he further explains, “Nishkam Karma cannot be done without first knowing ‘Who am I’. To believe, ‘I am doing Nishkam Karma’ in itself is bondage. As long as there is a doer of nishkam karma, there is bondage.” One’s bhaav (inner intention) in this lifetime creates new karma. And as long as we have it in our bhaav (intent) that ‘I am the doer’, good or bad karmas continue to bind. Only when we attain Self-Realization, we realize that, “I am Pure Soul and my nature is only to see and know”. With this, our belief that, ‘I am indeed the doer of Nishkam karma’ also drops. And as a result our anger, pride, deceit, greed, desires, attachment, hatred get onto the declining curve. So come, on this auspicious occasion of Janmashtami, let us all gift Lord Krishna on His birthday our determination to make Self-Realization the ultimate goal of our life so that we can do Nishkam Karma, as Lord Krishna has propagated, in its true spirit! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-janmashtami-2019/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-janmashtami-2019/ Wed, 21 August 2019

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/rakshabandhan-2019/ Rakshabandhan is a day dedicated to celebrate the unique loving bond between brothers and sisters. It is a day when the siblings pray for each other’s happiness & well-being. ‘Raksha-bandhan’ means a ‘bond of protection’. By tying a band, the brother assures protection to his sister from all the external enemies and obstacles that she may encounter in life; and the sister in turn, prays for a long and healthy life of her brother. But what about the internal enemies and obstacles? Who will protect us from those? Our belief that we will perish at the hands of the external forces keeps us in constant fear. When a sister ties raksha-bandhan onto her brother’s hand, she has a prayer in her heart that, “Dear brother, please protect me from the obstacles that may come up in my life.” And on tying this ‘bond of protection’ the assurance that her brother gives to her puts all her fears to rest. But how much ever a brother may strive to safeguard his sister, ultimately we all are helpless in front of Nature. So is there a surer way to overcome our fears? Yes, there is! If the very source wherefrom all kinds of fears originate is uprooted and destroyed, fear would automatically vanish, isn’t it? So let’s learn some more about this... Say, you’ve gone astray in a foreign territory. And you suddenly find yourself surrounded by enemies who are determined to rob you off all your valuables, even if that means taking away your life. Just imagine the kind of fear you would experience in such a state. You would want to escape but you can’t, for the enemies have erected huge obstacles on your way. You know your brother, or for that matter any loved one, are more than willing to help you, but how? They too cannot combat these enemies. And you are scared that they may get hurt. All you would want to do in such a situation is to somehow escape from the enemies and make your way home, right? Likewise, every living being in this world too is experiencing terrible fear for we are outside our home named ‘Soul’ and have got surrounded by the internal enemies of anger, false pride, deceit and greed and there are huge obstacles of the worldly pleasures derived from five senses, which are not letting us escape from the enemies so that we can reach our home. Who can help us out now? Gnani (an Enlightened Person) alone can make us realize our eternal Self and get us free. According to Pujya Dadashri, “Fear exists because of the ignorance of the Self. One has never seen or realized the domain of the Self. That is why there is perpetual existence of fear in the relative world. Fear vanishes with the understanding of ‘I am the eternal Self’!” Pujya Dadashri further assures that, “Those who have received Gnan (Self-realization) from me will constantly experience samadhi (remain undisturbed) in every situation, regardless of its type.” Self-Realization destroys the fear from its source of origin and leads us to ultimate liberation. So come, on this pious day of Rakshabandhan, let us decide to set ourselves free by realizing our eternal Self, and seek protection of Gnani from all types of internal enemies and obstacles to live a life full of bliss and void of all stress! For this, we shall earnestly pray to Gnani today, “Please protect every living being on this Earth. Help each cross over the obstructions that are not allowing them to attain Self-Realization. Please protect us from the internal enemies that obstruct our path to ultimate liberation.” https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/rakshabandhan-2019/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/rakshabandhan-2019/ Tue, 13 August 2019

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-friendship-day-2019/ Friends are our fantabulous buddies whom we’ve selected of our own choice and have made them a part of our family. They are the ‘Eveready’ batteries that instantly charge you up when you feel low. And if you ever happen to feel lost, oh gosh! Friend is the only way to go!! Friend is like a cool breeze that makes you forget all your problems in life. But when you get into a problem with your friend itself, your life is in utter disaster. There was once when you could not resist yourself talking to this person. Then how come today you are avoiding the same person? Friendship is a relationship which is all about sharing, caring, having fun and helping each other in good and bad times. Then how can bad times ever overshadow this self-chosen relationship? The reason is: the clashes between the two friends. Where there is excessive love, expectations arise, and misunderstandings and differences of opinion soon follow suit. Each of these generates negativity which eventually leads to clashes. If clashes are allowed to continue, slowly and surely it destroys the friendship completely. What do we do to not let this happen? Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “Maintain a constant intent to avoid clashes. That indeed is what should be done!” So, to keep our friendship safe and intact, we must use Dadashri’s special key, which is, “AVOID CLASHES” What about clashes that have already taken place? No issues! Owing to the clash, you got to see your faults that were all along hidden inside you, didn’t you? Param Pujya Dadashri, sharing his personal experience, gives us a beautiful insight. He says, “In my case, whenever clash occurred, I made a note that I have gained some good knowledge today! Clashes prevent you from slipping; they keep you ever aware! They are a vitamin for the Soul. Therefore, there is no problem if clashes have happened. To not develop a distance (between you and your friend) after clashing, is considered the right effort. If you begin to develop a mental distance with the other person, then do pratikraman* and set it in order. Pratikraman* should be done and a friendly spirit should be maintained towards that person! If the conflict occurs again, then once again do pratikraman. Because when one layer (of mistake) leaves, thereafter another layer leaves. They (our mistakes) are in layers, aren’t they?” *Pratikraman is done in 3 steps: Apology. I have done so and so mistake Repentance. I ask for forgiveness for my mistake. Promise. I decide not to do this mistake again. Pratikraman does not mean, “Oh! I have made this mistake, why did I do this mistake...” No, this will bring in another kind of negativity. Instead, you can directly connect with the Pure Soul (God) residing in your friend, and ask for strength from the Pure Soul to not do the mistake again. Then the negativity or the guilt-feeling will automatically dissolve. Friendship calls for understanding, not necessarily agreement. When you do pratikraman, you will soon see good results and your friendship will once again blossom with all its beauty. When enmity leaves, then real love arises. Thereafter, there will be no clashes, there will be natural forgiveness. To conclude, just like any other relationship, sometimes friendship too goes through a downside. It doesn't mean you stop being friends. Rather, ‘Avoid Clashes’ is the key. It will keep your friendship safe and intact! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-friendship-day-2019/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-friendship-day-2019/ Fri, 02 August 2019

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/guru-the-beacon-of-light-2019/ GURU – The Beacon of Light Happy Guru Purnima! Guru Purnima is an auspicious day dedicated to express our gratitude towards our Gurus!!! It is celebrated more so in the Asian countries, on the day of full moon night in the month of Ashadh as per the Hindu calendar, which usually falls in the month of July. The full Moon symbolizes the position that the Guru holds in the life of the disciple. ‘Guru’ means the One from whom we learn and ‘Purnima’ signifies the full moon night that spreads light and removes darkness. Like the full Moon night (Purnima), Guru removes the darkness of ignorance from our life and leads us to the full light of right knowledge. A sacred relationship. Our worldly life is made up of relationships, the Guru-disciple relationship being one of them. It is a sacred relationship based on the foundation of unconditional love, oneness and total surrender. One attains the energies of the person one is surrendered to. So, when you are faithfully surrendered to your Guru, you acquire His strength and energies automatically. The Guru-disciple bond Guru gives - disciple takes, Guru guides - disciple follows, Guru teaches - disciple learns. Guru looks after you in every situation that you get placed in, while in His association. He inspires you, encourages you, guides you, warns you, protects you and ensures that you rise above all the difficulties that come your way and reach your ultimate destination. Guru is a lighthouse with whose help we navigate through the obstacles and safely reach the port (our final destination). Guru is a beacon of light so that we don’t get lost; a beacon of faith such that we never lose hope. No knowledge, be it worldly or spiritual, can be attained without a Guru. Guru is the one who imparts knowledge and thus takes us from darkness to light. The first obligation therefore for any student or a disciple is to follow the Guru’s directive whole-heartedly. When we, as a disciple, abide by the words of our Guru with firm determination and sincerity, and follow Guru’s every directive with utmost faith and humility, we become worthy of Guru’s choicest blessings that in turn help us progress on the path ahead. On the other hand, instead of expressing gratitude, if we harness ill-feelings for our Guru and find faults with Him when He happens to show strictness while training us, or we disobey Him, overrule His instructions and show disregard for His precious advices, we undertake a great liability onto ourselves and obstruct our own path of progress, not realizing that we, with our own hands, are cutting the ladder that is taking us higher up. If you have the right intent to learn, you can learn by just observing the Guru. A real student is one who follows the footsteps of Guru with sheer enthusiasm in his heart, one who never loses faith in His Guru, and one who never forgets what all he has gained from his Guru. You can develop these virtues by keenly observing the Guru. One needs Guru in every stage of life. Anyone whom we’ve learnt something from is our Guru. Our mother is our first Guru! She is the one who teaches us the basic mannerisms and values. Our father is a Guru, holding whose hand, we learnt to walk. Our teachers are our Guru, who’ve groomed us into good citizens by giving us basic education. Our religious Guru inspires us to leave the bad and adopt the good to progress in life. The ultimate Guru is one who changes our vision!!! The ultimate Guru is the Sadguru who introduces us to our real Self and helps us attain Self-Realization. He gives us the real vision of “I am a Pure Soul”, with which we can see things as they really are. This huge transformation in our vision can happen only by the grace of a worthy Guru, who is called a Sadguru!!! So come, on this auspicious day of Guru Purnima,… Let us express our gratitude to all the Gurus who have helped us grow in life, and surrender ourselves in the holy feet of our present Guru, with whose grace we are presently marching ahead on the path of our progress... https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/guru-the-beacon-of-light-2019/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/guru-the-beacon-of-light-2019/ Sat, 13 July 2019

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-gnan-day-pujya-niruma-2019/ On this day Pujya Niruma obtained Self-Realization from Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan. Dadashri, and His mission of instilling peace in the lives of people and liberating them from the cycle of birth and rebirth, inspired Niruma so much so that she firmly resolved to spend her entire life in the service of Dada and His mission.  Dadashri too, was equally keen in carving and shaping Pujya Niruma personally, so that he could create a marvelous idol out of her which could prove useful for Jagat Kalyan i.e. Salvation of the World. He, like a sculptor, never hesitated in chiselling jabs wherever, whenever and of whatever type were necessary to get Niruma ready for the job. On the other side, Pujya Niruma also had such lofty qualities that allowed Dada a free hand to mould her the way he thought was appropriate for her. She stoically received, accepted and withstood His every treatment designed by Him to prepare her for the formidable role as the torch bearer of His mission named Akram Vignan. This gave Dada full scope to patiently and persistently dust off all her inner impurities one after another from every nook and corner within. One of her best qualities was that amidst this entire process, she never let the minutest of differences to arise between her and Param Pujya Dadashri. No matter what Dadashri would do or say, she would always receive it with complete grace, total surrender, ultimate humility; maintaining full oneness with Him. Her devotion towards Dadashri was no match to anyone else and it remained unaffected and steadfast in every eventuality. She could pick up the smallest of the hints received from Dadashri for her mistakes, and would work hard to not allow the mistake to repeat again. Her analytical power was so strong that once being told about something, she could analyse the matter from every angle. And her hot pursuit to get rid of any mistake was remarkable. There were occasions where she had to struggle quite a bit but she would never stop working on it until she discovered and dug out the root cause of that mistake. Her unfailing dedication and devotion for Param Pujya Dadashri saw her through all the odds. With such majestic virtues and her extraordinary skills and abilities, she won Param Pujya Dadashri’s rajipo, grace and compassion and ultimately became one with Him. He was immensely pleased and contented with her development. After Param Pujya Dadashri, with her unflinching determination and pure dedication, she took forward Param Pujya Dadashri’s mission of salvation of the world. And she also lovingly nurtured the future torch bearer - Pujya Deepakbhai to take up the lead and spread Akram Science in the whole world. Even after Dadashri passed away, she continued to take into account every small guidance that she received from Him. Never did her single thought go against her goals. She possessed such determined, strong willed and clear understanding for the goals that it not only took her to great spiritual heights but she could also plant the seeds of spirituality in thousands of people and make them progress on the path of salvation. So come, on this auspicious day, let’s determine to be devoted like her to achieve our spiritual goals in life. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-gnan-day-pujya-niruma-2019/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-gnan-day-pujya-niruma-2019/ Mon, 08 July 2019

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/global-forgiveness-day-2019/ Forgiveness Day, celebrated on 7th July every year, is a day to forgive and be forgiven! It is a day to set everything right by overcoming all our past grudges and grievances. Forgiveness is a virtue that should ideally be practised every day and at all times. But assigning a special day to it reminds us to let go of the differences we are still holding onto and inspires us to move beyond our negativity and hurt to help forgive and seek forgiveness with an open and forgiving mind. This is not some kind of a formality. Apologizing to someone does not mean simply saying the word ‘Sorry’. The act of asking for forgiveness holds essence only when there is actual repentance in our heart while doing so. Further, forgiveness is two-sided. It comprises of both giving and receiving forgiveness. How often are we able to actually forgive someone who has wronged against us? Forgiving someone means disabling our anger because anger never likes that we practice forgiveness. So, if we learn to forgive, we will not only harmonize our relationships and live happily with each other, but we’ll also overcome our anger and make our heart clean.   Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, a spiritual revolutionary says, “No matter what anyone does to me, my forgiveness is always the reward he will get in return.” What a profound thought! Forgiveness is indeed the quality of the brave! How can one develop this virtue? To do so, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan has given a unique key of ‘Flawless Vision’ that He Himself practised throughout His life. He has revealed the subtle repercussions of seeing anyone at fault. He says, “Even if you spoil your inner intent by seeing other’s faults, your vibrations reach them.” These negative vibrations heighten the negative feelings in the relationship. Not only the other person but we too can never feel at rest under such circumstances. ‘Flawless Vision’ becomes easy to practise after Self-realization. After Self-Realization, our focus is directed inwards towards Self instead of finding faults of others. When this happens, a person becomes free from the shackles of hatred and abhorrence towards others and natural forgiveness becomes possible. It might seem difficult to develop ‘Flawless Vision’ right away, but we can at least begin to practice ‘Forgiveness’ in the right way. Forgiveness kills the bitterness and the resentment within. So, here’s the opportunity to break free from the chains of negativity that keep weighing us down. On this Global Forgiveness Day, let's put aside the false pride and muster up the courage to forgive others, and thus liberate ourselves from the prison of our grudges and resentment for others. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/global-forgiveness-day-2019/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/global-forgiveness-day-2019/ Fri, 05 July 2019

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-parents-day-2019/ Every child is an apple of their parent’s eye. Parents not only give life to their child by bringing it into this world, but also make all kind of sacrifices throughout their life to give their child a better life. Parents Day is a special day to express our gratitude for the love, care and nurturing we’ve got from our Parents. Let us see how… Param Pujya Dadabhagwan reveals, “What is the instant benefit of serving one’s mother and father? One will not face any suffering or any difficulties throughout his entire life.” Furthermore, the biggest duty of every human being is to ensure that one attains human life-form in the next birth as well. For this, Param Pujya Dadashri explains, “As far as the duty of a human being is concerned, if a person wants to attain a human lifeforms [in the next life], then he should serve the elderly, his Mother, Father and his Guru. He should maintain an obliging nature towards people.” He further warns, “They may have material wealth, but they would never be happy spiritually. You do not forget kindness of someone who offers you a cold drink on a hot day. Then, how can you forget your parents’ kindness? Care for them in the best possible way.” Sometimes it may happen that they may say something disagreeable to you. Param Pujya Dadashri says “Overlook it. They are your elders. Do you think they deserve disrespect?” In instances where we’ve hurt our parents by showing our disrespect to them, we are often found arguing that “I didn’t actually have any intent to do so.” To which Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “Why do you not fall by mistake? You manage to be careful in that situation, don’t you? Moreover, if you slip accidentally, your father will understand; but if you make a mistake on purpose, he will question you. Try your best not to make a mistake. If it happens outside your control, they will understand and know that you were not meaning to do it.” Also, at times, although we want to help our parents heartily, we end up getting angry and blurt out some harsh words. This indeed cannot be considered as service. Showing us the path in order to conquer our anger and serve our parents, He says, “It can be achieved by pleasing your mother and father. If you please your mother and father, if they remain happy, then you can not only win over anger but also would never feel dissatisfied or feel restless.” Hence, in order to keep our parents happy, we shall behave in a manner that our mother and father like. We will always remain submissive to them by doing what they say, even if we do not like it. Param Pujya Dadashri firmly states, “Children who see faults in their parents will never be happy...”Happiness arises from within when one conducts according to what parents say. As a child you may feel, ‘This is dependency,’ but later, independent and permanent happiness will arise from this very virtue. So come, let us all, on this special Day, while saying a big Thank-you to our Parents, determine to conduct ourselves in a manner that makes our Parents happy, where we don’t hurt them nor see any fault of theirs. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-parents-day-2019/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-parents-day-2019/ Thu, 30 May 2019

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mothers-day-2019/ Out of all the relationships that we develop during our lifetime, our bond with our mother is the oldest. It goes back to the time even before our birth. Though it is the most valued relationship but often it is also the most complex one. We know that we owe so much to our mother; yet we almost always take them for granted. In the initial years of our growing up, her role in our life isn’t just that of a caretaker who looks after our health, safety, food etc. She also teaches us the basic life skills and values, which we wouldn’t have learnt otherwise. But as we grow older, we often start undermining her worth and tend to immerse ourselves more in the other newly found pleasures of life like friends, money, fame, achievement etc. We might even dislike her for all the imposed rules and her words of caution; but despite all this, she always remains an invisible steady constant in our life. Param Pujya Dadashri says, “In this world, we are greatly indebted to three people: father, mother and Guru! They have guided us towards the right path, so their obligations can never be forgotten.” No matter what our achievement in life is, it can never change the fact that our relationship with our mother will always remain the most important relationship we’ll ever have. Pujya Dadashri has laid special emphasis to being respectful to our parents and serving them sincerely. He cautions us, saying, “The person who sees faults in his/her parents will never prosper. Such a person may become materially wealthy, but she/he will never progress spiritually. How can we forget their obligations?” He further says, “When children remain obedient and ‘aadhin’ (heartily surrendered) to their parents at all times, even if they don’t like doing so, they will experience peace and happiness from within.” On this Mother’s Day, let us revive our bonds with our mothers by saying these simple words to her, ‘MOM, I AM SORRY’ for all the past mistakes and the hurt caused to her, knowingly and unknowingly. Although a single day isn’t enough to recognise her tall contribution in our life, but it does give us a chance to undo our mistakes by asking for her forgiveness. Remember, this is the ONLY bond that is strong enough to withstand all the ups and downs under any circumstances. Hence, let us make this Mother’s Day a special day by paying an earnest tribute to our mother, who is the reason for our very existence! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mothers-day-2019/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mothers-day-2019/ Sat, 11 May 2019

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-deepakbhai-birthday-2019/ Pujya Deepakbhai Desai was born in Morbi on the remarkable day of May 9th 1953! He is the youngest in his family and an Engineer by profession. At the tender age of seventeen, his elder brother brought him to Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan. He was seeing Dada for the first time and Akram Science was totally new to Him. However, this meeting transformed his life completely, and he is now leading Param Pujya Dadashri’s mission. Anyone who meets or sees Pujya Deepakbhai, gets captivated. Just seeing him smile creates bliss within. Such is stage of spirituality, Pujya Deepakbhai has attained within!!! From excerpts from Param Pujya Dadashri, today, let us learn the possible reasons behind his liberated smile, and how is it that by just seeing him, everyone feels bliss inside: [1] His purity of money, sexuality and pride attracts everyone and keeps them in bliss. When can salvation of people happen? When we become pure, absolutely pure! Purity, itself attracts everyone, it attracts the entire world! Pure people attract the world. [2] Bliss through His darshan, being the result of His inner joyful state. Gnani Purush has no internal difficulty whatsoever. As He Himself is in a spontaneous joyful state, when another person simply does darshan of His, spontaneous joyful state of bliss arises for that person. [3] Importance of encountering Absolutely Self-Realized person. The bliss comes from within, but when the circumstance of encountering the Absolutely Self-realized person (Gnani Purush) takes place, then bliss overflows. [4] Science behind the liberated smile. As long as even one person is seen to be at fault, a liberated smile without any tension cannot arise. When the entire world appears flawless, that is when a liberated smile will arise. And with a liberated smile, one can bring about salvation. Even if one were to just see the One with a liberated smile, he will attain salvation! If anyone’s mind distances from you, then You have distanced yourself from absolute Knowledge (keval Gnan)! Hence, minimum number of minds should be distanced from you. Otherwise, a liberated smile will not come. And without a liberated smile the world will not yield to you. Until then, the salvation of the world cannot happen. So, on this special occasion, let us make a firm determination to meet Pujya Deepakbhai and experience the effects of his liberated smile firsthand, as soon as we can! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-deepakbhai-birthday-2019/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-deepakbhai-birthday-2019/ Tue, 07 May 2019

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/simandhar-swami-janma-kalyanak-2019/ There have been countless of Tirthankaras in the past, and infinite number of people have attained salvation in their divine presence. The inner knowledge of all Tirthankaras is identical in every respect; their teachings never contradict from one another. However, when we invoke the worship of the present, living Tirthankara, it is of supreme value, as the vibrations of His absolute pure Self and the atoms of his physical body are presently floating in the atmosphere. Just like Lord Mahavira was a Tirthankara, who attained Moksh around two thousand five hundred years ago; Lord Simandhar Swami is the Living Tirthankara, who is currently present in Mahavideh-Kshetra right now!!! Tirthankaras conquer the inner enemies such as anger, pride, attachment and greed, and attain Kevalgnan (Omniscience)!!!  One cannot attain liberation without the presence of the Living Tirthankara. Through Tirthankara’s divine darshan and His divine speech, highly developed people (spiritually) attain the ultimate milestone of kevalgnan, while many take their first step on the path of liberation by getting the  glimpse of ‘I am separate from my body’ in Lord’s presence. These are exclusive privileges that Nature has granted to Tirthankars alone, in the entire Universe!!! So let’s look forward to attaining Self-Realization from the Living Gnani, in this lifetime; and in our next birth, attain salvation from the Living Tirthankara!!! As a step in this direction, on this auspicious day of the Lord’s birthday, let’s earnestly pray to Lord Simandhar Swami that: “Dear Lord, Please give me Your protection forever and bestow Your grace upon me so that I meet the Living Gnani and realize my real Self!”  Our deep inner intent is the key!!....       https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/simandhar-swami-janma-kalyanak-2019/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/simandhar-swami-janma-kalyanak-2019/ Sat, 27 April 2019

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/hanuman-jayanti-2019/ Scriptures of Ramayana has given us an Ideal symbol of Strength, devotion and celibacy in form of Lord Hanuman. Hanuman Jayanti is birthday of this celibate God. His devotion towards Lord Ram has not met any comparisons. His devotion includes in being best example of using his talents and capacities to the fullest in the Lord’s service. When Lord Ram’s wife, Sita was kidnapped by the demon king Ravana, He jumped, across thousands of miles of fathomless ocean to warn Ravana to release her just being the messenger for his Lord Ram. Taking the initiative, directing and participating in the construction of a bridge across the ocean to Lanka, to lend path for army to march across the sea. This bridge, who’s every stone showed the ultima of his devotion, as it was built by inscription of Lord Ram name on it. These are very few examples showing his great devotion towards Lord Ram. Devotion is something that will allow you to sail across even if you do not know the way. Let’s learn something more about devotion through vision of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan. What is Devotion? There are two paths of devotion. One is indirect (paroksh) devotion, which yields worldly fruit while it gradually elevates you spiritually. The second is direct (pratyaksh) devotion, which is directed towards the One in whom God has manifested. Devotion should be towards whom? Devotion should be towards those who are higher than you. You cannot worship anyone without first knowing their attributes. One cannot have devotion if there is no compatibility and in the absence of a strong liking for it. Bhakti cannot be done without a liking for it. What is Nature of Devotion? You become like the one you worship. If you worship marble you will become like marble, if you worship a black stone, you will become like the black stone, if you worship a picture you will become like that picture and if you worship ‘Dada’, you will become like ‘Dada’. Importance of Knowing god before bhakti Dadashri : Dear lady, do you want moksha or something else? Questioner : Instead of moksha, it would be nice if I get to do Bhakti. Dadashri : Do you know the God whose bhakti you are doing at the moment? Where does he live? How tall is he? How many children does he have? For countless lives, you have done indirect (paroksha) bhakti, without knowing God. You do not achieve anything by doing that. Devotion and  Faith Questioner : Is there a difference between bhakti (devotion) and faith? Dadashri : Faith is established in the words by reading scriptures. One will develop devotion for Lord Krishna if he develops faith in the words of Lord Krishna. He begins with an adjustment with a sentence from someone, then he develops faith on that, and then the bhakti begins. Then if he develops faith in someone else’s writings, he will not be able to adjust with the former and his faith in him will become unstable. Here in Dada’s satsang, the faith is established with you in the initial experience of the Self (nischay) and such faith is conviction (pratiti) which remains with you until final liberation. Devotion (Bhakti) and Liberation Questioner : Does a person have to do bhakti in order to be liberated? Dadashri : Bhakti helps one acquire the tools for the path of liberation. Bhakti of the vitarag Lords is only for liberation. So let us all collectively on his birthday, pray and ask God Hanuman to instill the true devotion as of his so as to progress not only spiritually but also towards our goals in life. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/hanuman-jayanti-2019/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/hanuman-jayanti-2019/ Thu, 18 April 2019

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/mahavir-jayanti-2019/ According to you, who is ‘God’? Is it someone who is mighty and strong? Or the one with the super natural powers? Or someone with good looks? Alternatively, someone who has won over his inner enemies of anger-greed-deceit? God is within whom the attributes of God have manifested completely. Some of the external powers might be possible to develop with some efforts. But the real victory lies in overcoming our inner enemies of anger-pride-greed-attachment-desire. It is easy to identify our external enemies and protect our self from them but the real challenge lies in recognising what lies inside and being vigilant against those. Lord Mahavir, which means, the victorious one, did exactly that. Every year the birth anniversary of Lord Mahavir is celebrated as ‘Mahavir Jayanti’ by millions of people across the globe. What makes Him so great? The world celebrates His victory over all sensory pleasures and inner weaknesses. He also laid down the following five fundamental vows for everyone’s spiritual progress. Ahimsa (Non-violence) Satya (Truth) Achaurya or Asteya (Non-stealing) Brahmacharya (Celibacy) Aparigraha (Non-possession) Out of these 5 doctrines/vows, He laid special emphasis on Brahmacharya. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan who has revealed to us this science of celibacy says that rather than mere suppression, celibacy should be practiced with right understanding. He says, “Sexuality is not poison. Fearlessness in sex is poison.” Practising celibacy might not be so easy in today’s time cycle. But Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says that even married people can practice celibacy. Through the science of Akram Vignan, He has extensively revealed to us the dangers of illicit sex, benefits of celibacy, how to overcome sexual attraction, celibacy for married people etc. Millions of people across the globe are practising celibacy with this understanding. He says, “If you win over sexuality and sexual impulses, by practicing celibacy, then you win over the world. You no longer remain dependent on anything in the world.” Isn’t this real power? The one that make us all, MAHAVIR.   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/mahavir-jayanti-2019/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/mahavir-jayanti-2019/ Wed, 17 April 2019

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-ram-navami-2019/ The Hindu festival, “Ram Navami”, is celebrated to rejoice the birth of Lord Ram. He was born on ninth day of the Shukla Paksha in the Chaitra month as per Hindu calendar. That is why it is named as “Ram Navami”. Lord Ram is known for His righteousness, which is also considered one of His heroic qualities. Going through His life’s incidences, we can infer how He righteously dealt with every relationship and circumstance in His life, whether that of a son, a brother, a husband or King. Today let us understand righteousness (Dharma) through the vision of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan: Param Pujya Dadashri says, “What is dharma? It is anything that remains in and results in its own intrinsic properties. Dharma means one’s intrinsic nature and properties. For example, when can you call gold, gold? It is only when it exhibits the properties that are intrinsic to gold. Another example is if these grapes are bitter, then you could say that it does not exhibit its intrinsic property. Brass can look and shine just like gold if it is polished enough. But if a goldsmith were to test it, he would be able to tell that it is not gold from the intrinsic properties of that metal. Similarly you can say that a thing is in its innate nature, goon dharma, if it exhibits its innate nature. The belief of ‘I am the body’, or to believe the body, the non-self, to be your real identity is par-dharma (dharma of another). To believe the Self (Soul) as the Self is swa-dharma (own dharma). That is Atma dharma, dharma of the Self.” Thus, we are able to learn the definition of actual righteousness (Dharma). So on the auspicious occasion of Lord Ram’s birthday, let us pray to Lord Ram to grant us to lead a righteous life and eventually attain the heights that He was able to attain.   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-ram-navami-2019/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-ram-navami-2019/ Wed, 10 April 2019

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-holi-2019/ Holi is a festival of colours, celebrated to welcome the spring season. It is a two-day festival. The first day is known as, ‘Holika Dahan’ – in which people burn a heap of stacked sticks in order to celebrate the triumph of good over evil. On the second day, people get together and play by throwing colours and water on each other. They forget their differences and reunite to regain the lost charm in their relationships. Unfortunately, the differences start to creep back in and soon the conflicts are back like before. Therefore, one needs to solve the conflicts created in their relationships with correct understanding. This is the only way to permanently remove the differences in relationships. One of the biggest causes of conflict are the misunderstandings created by the conversations we have with each other. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan that from everything we tell someone, the other person only understands some of it. Many a time a person does not understand what you are trying to tell them at all. They cannot grasp your viewpoint. So then, you have to patiently explain to them that, “This is my intention. Such is my viewpoint. This is what I am trying to tell you. Let me know whether you understand it or not. And if I don't understand what you are saying then I will try to understand it.” You should say this. You should bring clarity and how should that be done? It should be in a friendly tone. You should identify the other person's viewpoint. Thus by understanding the viewpoints of each other, we can reduce conflicts that are being created in our relationships. Thus although the Festival of Holi provides us an occasion to reignite the charm in our relationships, let us all try to bring about a permanent solution by applying Param Pujya Dadashri advice and reduce the conflicts in our relationships.   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-holi-2019/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-holi-2019/ Wed, 20 March 2019

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/international-day-of-happiness-2019/ Searching for happiness has become a global pursuit today. Our day begins and ends in the search of ‘HAPPINESS’. Google trends show that ‘Happiness’ is the most often searched word for every day. Amazon has more than 23,000 books with ‘Happiness’ in the title. New careers like ‘Happiness Consultant’, ‘Happiness Coach’, ‘Chief Happiness Officer’ etc. have started popping up on job portals also. The United Nations (UN) has been publishing it’s ‘World Happiness Report’ since April 2012 and based on a resolution passed by the UN General Assembly, March 20th is being celebrated as the ‘International Day of Happiness’. So what is all the buzz about? Research says that people today are lonelier, unhappier and more stressed out than ever before. Some of the factors that contribute to this state are decreased social connections, increased dependency on technology, time constraints etc. Not to mention loneliness not only affects us mentally but it also has adverse effects on our physical health. So how can we combat this growing threat? Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, a spiritual scientist gives us a ‘shortcut’ to overcome loneliness, which is, obliging others. Happiness begins from the moment we do something for others. Dada Bhagwan explains the science behind this by citing trees as an example. He says, ‘Does the tree take into consideration whether a person enjoying its fruit is kind or unkind? For the tree, the fruit belongs to whoever takes it; its life is lived for serving others. By living in this manner, such living entities, like the tree, gradually progress to a higher life form.” Studies also suggest that helping others helps us to regulate our own emotions and thus decrease the symptoms of depression, loneliness and ultimately, improve our emotional well-being. Dada Bhagwan Himself lived by this philosophy throughout His life. He understood the science behind it. He says, “He who wants happiness should make others happy.” He adds, “Nature’s law is such that if you give the fruits of your own efforts to others, nature will take care of you. That is the hidden science.” So why not try to apply this science in your everyday life too? Spending your time, money or energy to help others wouldn’t just make the world better, but it will make ‘you’ better as well. Get ready to take your first step to help people. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/international-day-of-happiness-2019/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/international-day-of-happiness-2019/ Tue, 19 March 2019

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-nirumas-punyatithi-2019/ Pujya Niruma left Her mortal body on 19, March 2006. She achieved such spiritual heights, that people are able to feel Her presence, even now, whether they have met Her or not. They say, we do not have to keep on remembering Her, She always stays in our memory. They not only feel Her presence, but they also feel that She guides them in their spiritual path through various subtle ways. In addition to Her unparalleled love and affection, the one thing to know about Her is Her State of Knowledge of the Self and what She did to achieve that State. One of the reasons Pujya Niruma attained extra ordinary spiritual heights is due to that fact that She carried the rarest of virtues. One of which was never letting Herself repeat a mistake again once She recognized it or it was pointed out by others. If we learn how She was able to do this, it will help us to apply and cultivate the same in ourselves so that we do not keep on repeating the same mistakes over and over again.   1. What Pujya Niruma did:  She was clear about Her goals and exactly where She wanted to reach.            What can we learn: Having clarity of your goals is as useful as a lighthouse in darkness. You are able to see where you want to go and not get lost, even in the darkest of nights. On the other hand, a lack of clarity leads to chaos and frustration.   2. What Pujya Niruma did: She used to analyze and understand what led to the mistake. This helped Her figure out exactly what point She was getting diverted from Her goals and that meant She could avoid it from before.      What can we learn: In order to walk on a path to achieve your goals, you should also know the paths that do not lead there, so that you can avoid  them altogether.    3. What Pujya Niruma did: She would decide the correct course of action that She needed to follow so that the mistake does not occur.       What can we do: Spend some time and analyze the situation. Find other courses of actions and make a plan you can follow. Follow through until you achieve the desired results.      4. What Pujya Niruma did: She also used to keep a prior awareness of what the right course of action is, so She did not deviate from the correct path. By keeping this awareness, She never allowed Herself to forget Her goal.         What can we learn: Keeping awareness beforehand is helpful. If you were passing through a gate you should be aware that once you cross the gate, you need to turn left to move ahead towards your destination.   5. What Pujya Niruma did: She kept a firm determination to follow through on the right course of action to reach Her goals and not get swayed by Her circumstances.        What can we learn: We need to keep a firm determination to stick to the right decision or course of action. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “Firm  determination is the only real spiritual effort.   These are just a couple of things that Pujya Niruma used to do, as a part of Her Real Spiritual effort to progress on Her Spiritual path. Let us take Her  example and try to follow what She did as much we can. It will be useful for us and allow us to achieve our goals, not to mention it will enable us to overcome our weaknesses as well. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-nirumas-punyatithi-2019/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-nirumas-punyatithi-2019/ Mon, 18 March 2019

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-gnan-day-pujya-deepakbhai-2019/ AN ICON OF IDEALISM March, 1971 A shy and an introverted, young engineering student comes to Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan on insistence of his elder brother, who had managed to convince him that the blessings of the Enlightened One will help him excel in his studies. He received the blessings but not just for His studies but for this life and beyond. Little did anyone know then that this young man would rise to carry the baton of Akram Vignan and inspire millions of people around the world through his virtues and ‘real’ knowledge. This young man is none other than Pujya Deepak Bhai Desai aka ‘Pujyashree’. Thousands of people had the privilege of meeting Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, but what made Pujya Deepakbhai attain the heights of spirituality is an inspiration in itself. It did not take long for Param Pujya Dadashri to recognise his special quality of ‘sincerity’ and one day in 1974, He told Pujya Niruma, “Deepak has a lot of sincerity in him. If someone were to develop and mould him, he would reach the pinnacle of any direction he is guided.” Pujya Niruma took over the responsibility and thus began the journey of perfecting the jewel. Pujya Niruma took special care in guiding Pujya Deepakbhai on the spiritual path, and his inherent qualities made the journey possible. Here are some of the lessons from his life: SINCERITY – If you remain 100 % sincere to the task or person, then they will be 100% sincere to you always. HUMILITY – The more humble you are, the more worthy you become of knowledge. PURITY – With purity arises the power of speech and strength to reach your ultimate destination. FOCUSSED APPROACH – Being undeterred by external distractions will definitely take you to your goal. TOTAL SURRENDER – Placing complete faith and trust in your Master will definitely make you worthy of His grace. Isn’t he a living example of ‘idealism’ who has stood the test of time and lived by his goal? On His Gnan Day, why not ask for strength to imbibe these qualities within us and resolve to become great in values and not name. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-gnan-day-pujya-deepakbhai-2019/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-gnan-day-pujya-deepakbhai-2019/ Tue, 05 March 2019

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-maha-shivratri-2019/ Maha Shivratri or ‘the Great Night of Shiva’ is a popular Hindu festival celebrated every year in honour of Lord Shiva. Unlike other Hindu festivals, Maha Shivratri is also celebrated at night. The celebrations comes with a message of ‘overcoming darkness and ignorance’. Often the darkness persists because of mulling over the past and failing to see what lies ahead of us. In reality, living in the past robs us of the present moments of happiness. Why do we end up living in the past? It serves as an escape from our present situation We are not confident and feel unprepared to face the what is to come and the past seems familiar There is no uncertainty there Fear of repeating the same mistakes all over again But what most people don’t realize is that, living in the past won’t make their present any better! Imagine you are asked to walk on a mile–long narrow bridge over the deep sea. Of course, you would be completely focussed. This means that you have the power of focused awareness to live in the present. You just need to apply it! Does it mean that we have to forget about the past and the future? Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “No, you do not have to forget, you just have to remain in the present. Forgetting is a burden. You cannot forget even if you want to, and besides, the more you try to forget something, the more you will remember it.” Is there a tool to live in the present? Yes! There is. In the Self Realization ceremony, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan gives us a powerful tool of knowing our Real Self and seeing the circumstances as the doer. This helps us to see beyond what is visible to our eyes and understand how things run, why they are the way they are and who is the real doer? Wouldn’t it be easy to accept any situation in our life if we knew all the circumstances that had to come together to make it happen, regardless of whether the situation turns out good or bad? Sounds impossible? Well, the good news is that, it is possible for us to live in the present if we attain the real knowledge of the Self and the doer. So on this Maha Shivratri, let us turn our darkness into light by learning to live in the present by knowing our Real Self! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-maha-shivratri-2019/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-maha-shivratri-2019/ Sat, 02 March 2019

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-valentines-day-2019/ 14th February is celebrated as Valentine’s Day, all over the world. On this day, people not only express their Love for one another, but they celebrate their love as well. This love has its ups and downs. When expectations are met, love overflows. When they are not, that love disappears, albeit temporarily. What kind of love is it? Is it really, true love? Let us take a closer look at an everyday situation: A young man’s parents celebrate his success at school with a party and reward his performance with a motorbike. Now, if within a few days, the young man wrecks it, his parents get angry and tell him that he does not deserve anything. They immediately take back the ‘certificate of merit’ they gave him only a few days ago. All their love vanishes! Can this be love? No! So does true love exist? Yes! There is only one person in the world who has selfless pure love and that is the Self-realized person (Gnani). One can never find anything comparable to Their love. If one has the chance to see a Self-realized person (Gnani) and experience His aura of detachment just once in his life, he would surrender himself completely. Such a person will never be able to forget that love even for a moment for the rest of his life! In reality, Self-realized persons are themselves such that, They remain uninterruptedly in your memory. The Gnani’s love is such that, it never looks for faults in others and never changes. It does not overflow when someone offers praise nor does it turn hostile towards the one who insults. So this Valentine’s Day, let us take the first step of nurturing such pure love in our hearts by developing a flawless vision.

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-republic-day-2019/ 26th January, Republic Day, is a moment of pride for all Indians. The Constitution of Independent India was formed on this day. A Constitution of any country constitutes of a set of rules based on which functioning, justice, etc. is carried out. Flag hoisting ceremonies, parades by the armed forces, as well as school children and other cultural functions are a big part of this celebration. It is also the day to acknowledge the contribution of our freedom fighters. Those of who served the country until their last breath. It is the fruit of their sacrifice that we are all able to lead a free democratic life today. A great salute to them because they did not think about themselves or their family and aimed to free the Nation out of hardships of Foreign rule. Just like they spent their lives to serve their country Let us have a look at what Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, a Spiritual Scientist, says about the service of others. He says, “The purpose of the human life is service to others. Service to others means that you use your mind, your speech and your actions for others.” One may ask what is to gain, if he serves others in this way. What will he be left with? For which Param Pujya Dadashri responds, “The deepest science behind this is that when one uses his mind, speech and body for serving others, [you] will have everything. You will not encounter any obstacles in your life if you help others in any way. Moreover, service to others should be sincere and done from the heart; only then, it is fruitful. When service to people is done without any expectations of recognition, then it is real. Prestige may indeed come, but one should not have any expectations and desire for it.” So, let us come together this Republic Day and aim to serve others as much as possible with a pure intent of just serving. Thereby helping our nation, without any expectation or desire for recognition or any sort of prestige.  https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-republic-day-2019/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-republic-day-2019/ Thu, 24 January 2019

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/rising-up-up-up/ India is a land of variety. Each state in India celebrates it’s glory through diverse culture, traditions, festivals, lifestyle etc. One of the most auspicious festivals that marks the beginning of the New Year (as per the Gregorian calendar) is Makar Sankranti. It is celebrated on January 14, every year, across India to honour the Sun God, who is the symbol of energy, strength and power. People relate the festival with the harvest season, kite flying, bathing in sacred rivers etc. to absorb the power of Sun in different ways. The power of the Sun is also associated to the qualities of a Gnani Purush (the enlightened One). The Gnani is said to have the dazzling majesty of the Sun-God. Those who come near Him can experience this strength and the Divine energy that is visible in His eyes. It is nature’s principle that, One becomes what one sees. One imbibes the virtues of a Gnani just by having faith in Him and being connected to Him. What are the qualities that can make a Gnani great? Infinite Compassion – His spirit of comforting and liberating all the creatures of the world from the agony and suffering is endless. Pure Love – Whatever He does is for our own benefit. His pure love makes you complete and free. Everywhere Adjustable – A Gnani can accept everyone’s viewpoints and hence can adjust with everyone. Flawless vision – No matter what one does to a Gnani, His forgiveness is always the rewards he will get in return. Purity – He doesn’t desire anything from the world and has unity and oneness with everyone. These are just few of the 1008 qualities that a Gnani has. This Makar Sankranti, as we look up at the soaring kites; let us also ask for strength to imbibe the qualities of a Gnani and rise higher in our life. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/rising-up-up-up/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/rising-up-up-up/ Sat, 12 January 2019

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dada-bhagwans-punyatithi-2019/ On 2nd January 1988, Ambalalbhai Muljibhai Patel, known as Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, left His mortal body. An emptiness was created due to the physical absence of the Gnani Purush (Self-realized person). However, even today He lives in the heart of all those met Him. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan attained spontaneous Self Realization in June 1958. His teachings are spread through the spiritual science of Akram Vignan. In this vast science, He has also disclosed the science behind death. He explains that at the time of death, the Pure Self goes into the next life and along with the Self goes the good and bad karmas in the form of a plan. From the human form, one can go into the animal form, to celestial form or even to hell and then back into the human form. He becomes whatever he binds (causes). It is only in the human form that one binds karmas. No other life forms bind karmas. In other life forms they only experience the effects of their karma. In the human form, one causes new karmas and also experiences effects of past karmas. So how can we stop karmas from binding? Param Pujya Dadashri says, “Once you come into the nature of the Self, no new karma will bind. This happens when the Gnani Purush makes you aware of your own Pure Self. After that, new karmas do not bind and old karmas continue to discharge. When all the karmas have discharged, you will attain final liberation.” So on the Punyatithi of Gnani Purush (Self-realized person) Param Pujya Dadashri, let us all make a wish to meet a Self-realized person, who can make us realize our Pure Self and guide us towards the path of Moksha (Ultimate Liberation). https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dada-bhagwans-punyatithi-2019/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dada-bhagwans-punyatithi-2019/ Wed, 02 January 2019

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/good-bye-2018-welcome-2019/ The year is coming to an end. It is time to bid farewell to 2018, and move towards welcoming 2019. We will all have various feelings attached to different moments we experienced in 2018 and we start imagining what we will do in the New Year. When we look back at the year, we think to ourselves, ‘Oh! This was the happiest moment! This should have lasted forever!’, ‘Ah! Why did I do this? I shouldn’t have done this. It was not a good idea. Why did it happen at all?’ Like these many similar feelings arise. Some moments you want to hold onto, others have a hold on you, and yet others you wonder why they ever happened at all, you feel embarrassed, or depressed when you think about them and wonder why they took place in your life. In all of these incidents, you are stuck in a moment, which has already past. At this time, you are not living in the present and this is why you are not able to fully appreciate your present. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “People believe that karma is the external activities people do like eating, sleeping, hitting someone etc. People label all actions as karma. But in reality the activity they see is really the fruit of karma and not the actual karma itself. What does a child do when you give him bitter medicine? He makes a face! And when you give him medicine that is sweet, he will like it. When people do raag-dwesh (attachment- abhorrence) they are planting causes that give rise to new karma. You will have to experience karma that you like and also the ones you dislike. The ones you do not like will leave you hurting while those you like will leave you happy. The causes that were created in your past life bring fruits to you, in this life.” Therefore, you can say that, the incidents you are holding on to of your past are simply the fruits of causes you created in your past life. So now what should you do with these memories? Param Pujya Dadashri says, “Now if someone bothers you, you should understand that you must have done something bad to him in your past life, and now he is returning the favour. So you must resolve the situation calmly and peacefully. But because you cannot remain peaceful, you end up sowing new seeds of karma. There is only one way to deal with karmas bound from the previous life and that is through peace and equanimity. You should not have a single bad thought about other people. You should simply feel that you are experiencing your account and that whatever the person may be doing to you is all on account of your own karma. You should understand that you are suffering because of your own previous bad deeds. Only then is there any freedom. As a matter of fact, he is giving you such a difficult time because of the unfolding effect of your own karma: he is simply an ‘instrument’.” Let us, using Param Pujya Dadashri’s understanding, resolve to let go of, instead of hold on to those positive or negative incidents that already played their role in our life this year. Let us get ready to wholeheartedly embrace the new opportunities in the upcoming year. Wishing you all a Happier 2019! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/good-bye-2018-welcome-2019/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/good-bye-2018-welcome-2019/ Sat, 29 December 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/merry-christmas-2018/ Christmas is celebrated all over the world on December 25. With the arrival of Christmas, someone special comes to mind - Santa Clause! Children eagerly await his arrival. He truly comes to give something special to children and brings smiles on their faces. This tradition of gift giving gives us some valuable lessons also like, giving up ourselves to help others, to think of others before ourselves and how to bring happiness to others. Once a questioner asked Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, “How does one go about making his life simple and ideal?” To which He replied, “Maintain an obliging nature. Give to others whatever you have. In this manner, your life will become ideal and harmonious (satvik).” He further says, “Religion begins with an obliging nature. Happiness is found in giving to others. But instead people tend to take away from others. Do not do anything for yourself. When you do for others, you will not have to do anything for yourself.” Many a times we are caught in situations, wherein we cannot actually go and help others, even if we want to. For which Param Pujya Dadashri says, “More important than a person’s external actions of obliging others are his internal intents (bhaav) to help. This intention [to help others] should always be present.” After reading this we might feel is it really possible to develop such an obliging nature in us?  Seems difficult, right?  But Param Pujya Dadashri says, “If you make a decision that you want to maintain an obliging nature, the change will occur within you.” So let us come together this Christmas and make a firm determination to maintain an obliging nature and find true happiness through giving to others selflessly. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/merry-christmas-2018/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/merry-christmas-2018/ Sat, 22 December 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-birthday-pujya-niruma-2018/ 2nd December is Pujya Niruma’s Birthday, so let us all celebrate this grand occasion! Pujya Niruma achieved the real heights of the true Self, by following the path laid out by Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan. Today let us study one of her qualities – her flexibility - how she operated and dealt with others using that quality, which will enable all of us to learn and grow in our lives. Flexbility by putting the needs of others’ above her own Many a times in the midst of doing her work, no matter how important, if someone interrupted or needed her help she would immediately help that person. For example, if she was busy editing an “Aptavani”, if someone would come and ask her for help or some advice she would without getting irritated or disturbed, but with same love and concern, attend to that person and solve their problem and then go back to her work. When someone comes to you for your help, you find yourself at a junction. The other person cannot move forward until you give them a solution, so you first have to help them. Once they are able to move forward, only then can you move forward. This is why she never kept anyone waiting for her help. Flexibility by switching between multiple tasks Pujya Niruma never felt that any work is big or small for her, whether it was giving a spiritual discourse or doing routine chores in the kitchen. She was always ready for all types of work. Whenever she used to stay at any follower’s house, many times she would cook for the entire house herself and feed them delicious food, thus spreading her love. She could easily switch over between different types of work and that too in an instance. Flexibility by never siding with her mistakes Pujya Niruma was very receptive to even the minutest of cautionary hints of her mistakes from Param Pujya Dadashri. She could understand what Param Pujya Dadashri wanted to convey even if He did not say anything. Then she would do analysis and get to the root of her mistake, such that the mistake would never repeat again. Flexibility by remaining patient while molding others Pujya Niruma used to accept people as they are and while molding them, remained very patient. She even waited years before telling someone their mistake, if she felt that it was not the right time to tell them. Flexibility by changing the direction of her life Pujya Niruma was a gynecologist by profession and her intention was to become a doctor to serve humanity. After meeting Param Pujya Dadashri, she thought, ‘As a medical doctor, I can only alleviate physical ailments. However, if I were to serve the Gnani, I can help so many people who are suffering from mental, emotional, and worldly ‘ailments’; as Dadashri would be able to grace them with this unique knowledge of Akram Vignan.’ She resolved that there could be nothing better than spending Her life helping Param Pujya Dadashri spread this knowledge instilling peace and liberating people from worries and suffering. ‘There are so many doctors to help people with their health, but there is only one Gnani Purush to liberate them!' Thus, she traded a life filled with worldly comforts for one of devoted service to the Gnani Purush. Param Pujya Dadashri used to say that “Niruben was a true seeker!” so all forms of insight developed in her in order to become flexible and at the same time she did not miss out on her goal. She had recognized the true value of Param Pujya Dadashri, that led her to become truly flexible. Thus, she was molded and equipped with numerous qualities in order to achieve her goal of spreading the spiritual science of Akram Vignan in whole world. So let us all on Pujya Niruma’s Birthday, pay tribute to her by deciding and trying to achieve at least a small level of flexibility in us, where we obstruct our own progress because of our own rigidity. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-birthday-pujya-niruma-2018/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-birthday-pujya-niruma-2018/ Fri, 30 November 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-adalaj-india-2018-1/ On 24th November, 8290 new seekers attained Self Realization through Gnan Vidhi Ceremony in Adalaj, India https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-adalaj-india-2018-1/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-adalaj-india-2018-1/ Sun, 25 November 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dada-bhagwans-111th-janma-jayanti-2018/ United we stand to celebrate and spread the Spiritual Science of Akram Vignan and help support the mission for the salvation of the world. ‘A World Worth Exploring’ is a whole new world… one with solutions through the Spiritual Science of the Self! For 11 days, from November 15th to 25th a phenomenal spiritual celebration for all of humanity will occur. This historical unprecedented auspicious event marks the anniversary of Gnani Purush, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s 111th Birthday, the founder of Akram Vignan. This event is taking place in Simandhar City, Ahmedabad (Gujarat), India. Unlike previous Janma Jayanti celebrations, which have been regionally organized, this event has been collegiately organized internationally by followers from around the world to celebrate as one large community in Simandhar City, the heart of Akram Vignan. Akram Vignan is an accelerated spiritual science for liberation (attainment of moksha) and bestows the gift of Self Realization (knowledge of the true Self) on all of humanity. Being Self-realized is the key to attaining freedom from the endless cycle of birth and death and gaining eternal bliss. The ability to bequeath Self Realization upon others is only with enlightened beings. Gnani Purush Param Pujya Dadashri became such an enlightened person. Sitting on a station platform, in June 1958, a phenomenal spiritual revelation naturally occurred within Him. At the end of this spontaneous internal enlightenment, which took about forty-eight minutes, Dada Bhagwan, the fully enlightened Self had manifested within Him. This was the culmination of His spiritual seeking and efforts of many previous lives. "Remarkable powers (siddhis) were instilled within me as a result of not desiring anything the world had to offer." During the event, followers from all over the world will gather in Simandhar City to celebrate the priceless gift of Self Realization that He has bestowed upon the world. As a collective, each and every follower will pray for the liberation for every being on this Earth. The entire event will be in the presence of Pujya Deepakbhai Desai – Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s living disciple and successor to Pujya Niruma! Thus, it is an event that should not be missed as it will help you make spiritual progress towards liberation. Janma Jayanti 111 is also for anyone who is seeking the key to unlocking eternal bliss, freedom from worries, an innate sense of inner peace and an accelerated path to gaining moksha (liberation). So, what are you waiting for? Come, be part of this life changing experience! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dada-bhagwans-111th-janma-jayanti-2018/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dada-bhagwans-111th-janma-jayanti-2018/ Wed, 21 November 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-childrens-day-2018/ “Children’s’ Day” is celebrated on 14 November, every year. It is in honour of India’s First Prime Minister, Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru, whose birthday is on this day and who loved children dearly. The day in itself creates excitement in every child. They feel that it is, “My day!” A day when they can celebrate their existence as a child. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says this regarding children, “This [today’s] generation is open, receptive and healthy-minded. Keep positive intents (bhaavs) for your children. This will bring good results. They will change for the better and this will happen naturally. Today’s generation is the best that has ever been.” Therefore, it becomes our duty to help these children become the best versions of themselves. In fact, a child resembles a small plant, which if well nurtured flourishes and blossoms to its fullest. If we want a child’s mind to grow, we have to plant seeds that would help them become a good human being. This nurturing includes provision of a proper education, a good support system, a loving and safe environment, values, care, freedom etc. Moreover, nurturing has to be variable to a certain extent. Because every child is unique, his/her nurturing also has to be unique. This is of utmost importance because children sow new seeds in whatever they do, even though the harvest may not be visible right away. Hence nurturing them requires great care and patience. Another very important task that lies on the shoulders of parents is to watch out for the weeds that also tend to grow. Weeds are the unwanted plants that grow and steal the nutrition from the actual plant, thereby harming the growth of the actual plants. Param Pujya Dadashri says, “A child indeed brings his values (sanskar) with him, but you have to help with that, as it is necessary to nurture those values. He [the child] is looking for knowledge. Each time he does something wrong, explain to him that this is wrong. It should come into his realization. Otherwise he will believe that what he is doing is correct. That is why he ends up on wrong path. [Parents] should understand when to encourage, when to discourage, how much to encourage, and how much to discourage the children.” So this Children’s Day, let us all keep positive intents (bhaav), be determined to encourage seeds and discourage the weeds not only in our children but also within our own selves. Wish you all a very Happy Children’s Day! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-childrens-day-2018/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-childrens-day-2018/ Mon, 12 November 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-diwali-2018/ Diwali, also called ‘Deepavali’, is derived from the word deep i.e. "lamp" and avali i.e. “row”, to mean “the row of lamps”. Every Diwali, we light small oil lamps (deepak) and illuminate our worldly home, our house. This Diwali, come, let us light the real deepak within, and illuminate our real home (the Self)! The stories related to the celebration of Diwali vary within different traditions of Hinduism. Yet, each one explicitly marks Diwali as the festival of light and joy, celebrating the victory of light over darkness. In every story, people light the ‘deepak’ to symbolise the light that dispels the darkness and illuminates the path. So what is this light, which darkness does it dispel and which path does it illuminate? Come; let us try to understand this, on the auspicious day. As children, on the occasion of Diwali, you, along with your siblings and cousins, must have surrounded your grandparents; and eagerly and attentively listened to them narrate the legends about the battles between good and evil, light and darkness. Do you remember how joyous you felt, when at the end of it all, Lord Rama, Lord Mahavira, the Pandavas, Guru Har Gobind, Nachiketa or Goddess Lakshmi finally triumphed and returned back home? However, at that tender age, little did we know, what are our ancestors were trying to make us learn through the medium of these wonderful stories. Diwali is actually the celebration of the triumph of the inner light over spiritual darkness, of knowledge over ignorance, of love over attachment and hatred, of the right belief over various wrong beliefs, of permanence over impermanence.  These stories of the enlightened Souls try to kindle within us the importance of knowledge, self-inquiry, self-improvement and seeking the right path. So for how long will we wander around in darkness? We have been walking in darkness for countless lives, but have not been able to see the light. And this darkness prevails because of the layers of ignorance over our real Self. Say, a glowing 1000-watt light bulb is placed in a clay pot with its lid tightly closed and numerous layers of thick dense cloth cover it, would we be able to see any light coming out of the bulb? No. This is exactly the case with us. Within us, there is infinite light of real Knowledge (the Pure Soul), but the darkness prevails because of the layers of ignorance over the Self. With the grace and special powers of the Gnani Purush, the enlightened One, a tiny hole is made in the clay-pot covering the light bulb (our ignorant Self), therefore filling the whole room with light.  In Akram Vignan, when the Living Gnani graces us with Self Realization (Gnan), the light appears. All it takes is for a lit lamp to light our lamp. So, come, let us celebrate this festival of lights by getting our lamp lit from a lit lamp, and thus fulfil the real purpose of our life! With an earnest heart-felt prayer that, ‘This Diwali and every Diwali thereafter, may the light of the Self glow brighter and brighter within You’, Dada Bhagwan Parivar wishes you and your loved ones a very Happy Diwali! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-diwali-2018/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-diwali-2018/ Mon, 05 November 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-navaratri-2018/ Amba Maa or Goddess Ambika is one of the Goddesses who is worshipped and accepted by many religions in India. She is also known by other names like Bahuchara Maa, Kalika Maa, Durga Maa etc.   The festival of Navaratri is celebrated in honour of Amba Maa throughout India. It is known by different names like Ramlila in the North, Durga Puja in the East and Kolu in the South. It is an occasion to express our devotion to Amba Maa (Mataji). Goddess Ambika is adhya shakti i.e. the original energy force. She has the divine power to destroy your worldly obstacles and grant energy to your worldly self (prakruti), thus helping it become natural. She enables your prakruti to become natural and spontaneous (sahaj). When your personality remains and behaves in a natural state, then it is referred to as sahaj prakruti.  Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “You can have peace by worshipping Mataji, and your prakruti (one’s worldly Self) can become natural.” To become natural means to do what comes into your mind without any interference of the intellect and ego. He says that this is what happens while we do garba. Our body is in a natural style (sahaj), hence, it removes the impurities within us and makes space for right knowledge to enter. If our prakruti becomes natural and spontaneous (sahaj), then it helps us progress in our path to liberation. Navaratri is a festival of devotion and by worshipping Amba Maa, our prakruti becomes natural, powerful and is energized. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-navaratri-2018/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-navaratri-2018/ Thu, 11 October 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/face-formation-event-a-tribute-to-the-gnanis/   We’ve all heard the saying, ‘Where there’s a will, there’s a way’. Now just imagine the will it took pull off an iconic face formation event. And this was just a precursor celebration to usher in Param Pujya Dadashri’s Grand 111th Birth Anniversary Celebrations at the Jova Jevi Duniya event, which is scheduled from 15th to 25th November, 2018. It took over 1000 hours of extremely meticulous planning and execution to achieve this feat. Once the plan was locked, members of the execution team were all set to transform the plan accurately into reality. Interestingly people from all over the world took part in this incredible initiative. More than 3000 participants were involved full-time in the preparation and final performance of the face formation. What a reflection of a team-work! 100 professionals choreographed and trained the participants to flawlessly execute the face formation. Several hours of dedication were put in by everyone who was a part of this grand tribute to the Gnanis. Many took time off from their work and travelled to Ahmedabad from different parts of the world, to be a part of this once-in-a-lifetime event. Moreover, people of different age groups contributed to make it a successful initiative. This event was organized on the Independence Day of India, 15th August, 2018 in honor of three Gnanis: Akram Vignani Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, the Embodiment of Pure Love Pujya Niruma and Living Gnani Pujyashri Deepakbhai, who have dedicated their entire lives for ‘Jagat Kalyan’. The 3000+ volunteers, who participated, stood at marked locations on the huge ground of Dada Bhagwan Foundation and held up placards with both their hands. Although it wasn’t the easiest task to coordinate among so many people of various age groups, the devotion for the Gnanis and enthusiasm of the participants made the whole experience one that they will cherish for a long time to come. The Face Formation of all three Gnanis and the logo of ‘Jova Jevi Duniya’ were performed with a lot of grace and dexterity. On the first round, Dada Bhagwan’s face was formed and then it was flipped to Niruma’s face. With the second round, Deepakbhai’s face was formed, which was then flipped to create the huge logo of ‘Jova Jevi Duniya’. As simple as it may sound, performing the face formation with over 3000 participants was undoubtedly a mammoth task which required a great deal of coordination. At the end of the day, through the efforts and commitment of all involved the mission was successfully accomplished. History was created on 15th August, 2018, as this became the nation’s first and largest face formation event. It was also the country’s first flip animation event! What better tribute to the Gnanis, who have dedicated their lives towards transforming the lives of others, than this! Once this huge mission was accomplished, participants celebrated joyfully by doing the Garba on location and spontaneously depicted their unity. This was the first milestone of the mega celebration yet to come. Depicting transformation, this face formation event is the ideal segue way to usher in the event that we are all waiting for...Jova Jevi Duniya! Come, be part of this life transforming experience!  http://jjd.dadabhagwan.org/  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xwrp3vxells   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/face-formation-event-a-tribute-to-the-gnanis/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/face-formation-event-a-tribute-to-the-gnanis/ Mon, 24 September 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/samvatsari-2018/ It’s difficult to resist these trends in today’s era, isn’t it? We might feel that we are connected to people every moment around the world but the bitter truth that most of us will agree to is that, we are disconnected more than ever to those around us. This has led to more stress, lack of trust, misunderstandings and conflicts in our relationships, now than ever before. Over-connectedness to our smartphones, tablets and other gizmos is probably one of the reasons for this menace. Hence, a new challenge that has found place amongst other challenges like a weight loss challenge, happiness challenge etc. is the challenge of TECHNOLOGY FASTING! “Technology fasting” refers to disconnecting ourselves from all gadgets and connecting to people instead. Medical research says that, while we are fasting, our bodies are in an autophagic state – which means the body is healing and cleaning our cells. Technology fasting gives us scope to free our mind from the umpteen things that we keep doing on our phones, iPads etc, most often to avoid interacting with people because of the fear of not being able to deal with them. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says that, “If someone clashes with you, you do not clash with them; if you can prevail in that, then common sense will arise. You should not clash with anyone; otherwise, you will lose your common sense. There should be no friction from your end. Through another person’s friction, common sense arises in you.” He says, “Common sense is necessary in worldly interactions. Common sense means ‘everywhere applicable’.” This common sense helps deal with the tough situations that arise in our life without getting nervous. So let us make this Samvatsari a bit more special with the ONE-DAY TECH FAST challenge and instead connect to people personally. “Samvatsari” is a day of forgiveness, an occasion to ask for forgiveness for any hurt we caused other people with our mind, speech and body and to forgive others. Why not do the same with people whom we meet today? Let us take this small step and make our TECH FAST more meaningful. So are you ready for it? https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/samvatsari-2018/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/samvatsari-2018/ Mon, 10 September 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-teachers-day-2018/ Teacher’s Day is about celebrating those people who have had a huge impact in our lives, our teachers! They instill within us knowledge and values that help shape us and make us the best versions of ourselves. However, does our learning end there, in the four walls of the classroom? No, because life itself is an eternal learning process. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “Without a guru, no knowledge of any kind can be attained. Neither worldly knowledge nor spiritual knowledge can be attained without a guru.” So we have to remain students of life, and let life become our teacher. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan calls Himself, ‘the observatory of the world’. He cites examples of His own learning through observation of simple things likes trees, ants, rivers, etc., and how they teach us about humility, team work, adjustment etc. He says that, Akram Vignan is a result of His minutest observations and learnings from things around Him. On this ‘Teacher’s Day’ let us let life become our teacher and start learning once again.

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-janmashtami-2018/ Janmashtami, is a Hindu festival that marks the birth of our beloved Lord Krishna. Krishna, Kanhaiyya, Gopal, Narayan, Madhav, Murari, etc are all different names of Lord Krishna Himself. He not only has several names, but is all worshipped in different forms like Bal Krishna, Yogeshwar, Ranchhod, etc. We have always been listening to the stories of Lord Krishna since our childhood, isn’t it? Who wouldn’t remember the story of His childhood friend, Sudama? The story through which we learned what ‘true friendship’ is. One of the best Lord Krishna stories for children is about His love for butter. The whole of Vrundavan was tired of His pranks when He came to steal butter. Another story that highlights the moral, ‘Good always wins over the Evil’ is the story of Kaliya, the snake. These are just some of the many stories that we have listened to and enjoyed thoroughly. But are all these stories and moral enough to help someone earn a title of ‘God’? What was so special about Lord Krishna that made Him worthy of worship by everyone? Out of all the different names and different forms, what is His real form? What is the Real form of Shri Krishna? Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “Lord Krishna was a Gnani. He became enlightened; He became a Gnani Purush (Narayan) from an ordinary human being (nara).” In the Holy Scripture, the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna unveiled the ultimate science of the universe to Arjuna. He also revealed the science of Self Realization to him, being Self-Realized Himself. Due to this knowledge, Arjuna remained in the awareness given to Him by Lord Krishna. Though he fought in the Mahabharata, he did not bind a single karma and achieved ultimate salvation in the same life. Isn’t all this incredible and worth exploring further? Let us make this ‘Janmashtami’ a true celebration of Lord Krishna’s birth, by awakening the God that resides within each one of us. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-janmashtami-2018/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-janmashtami-2018/ Sat, 01 September 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-rakshabandhan-2018/ Have you ever seen a trapeze artist perform in a circus? Though his act is full of uncertainty and risk, the artist is able to perform without hesitation. What enables him to do this? The assurance of the safety net at the bottom. He has the surety in his mind that even if he falls while performing, he cannot get hurt because the safety net will catch him. Similarly, we all seek that ‘safety net’ or protection in our life. This need for protection is fulfilled by different things including people, our status in life, the amount of money we have etc… These things provides us with security and peace of mind that helps us move on in life. However, it is not enough to look for our own safety always. It is important that we also create an environment that allows other people to feel safe in our presence. When we make someone feel safe, it means that he/she does not fear us in any way. They can be open with us and not fear being judged for something they say or do. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan has defined this as the ultimate form of charity called, ‘Abhaya daan’. He says, ‘Abhaya daan is where one’s conduct is such that he will not raise fear in any living being. For abhaya daan, one should have the inner intention of not hurting any living being, even in the slightest degree. Only then will this come into practice.” So on this auspicious occasion of Rakshabandhan, why don’t we decide to create a safe, open environment around us, which will enable others to feel protected in our presence? https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-rakshabandhan-2018/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-rakshabandhan-2018/ Fri, 24 August 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-independence-day-2018/ 15th August reminds us of India’s freedom and the sacrifices made by the freedom fighters. India has been independent 71 years, but how far have we, as individuals, been successful in retaining our freedom? Our independence? Though we no longer experience physical bondage or tyranny, we often feel entrapped in our own vicious cycle of thoughts. These thoughts lead to pain and suffering and they keep coming back to us even if we do not want them to. What is the reason behind all this? And how can we break through the shackles of mental bondage? The human mind has always been an area of interest for most scientists and philosophers around the world. Many of them have made an attempt to uncover the mysteries related to it. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, the enlightened One, has unravelled the science of the mind. He has been able to explain it in the most logical and scientific manner. He says, “The mind is made of knots or tubers. When the external and inner circumstances arise, the tuber in the mind will erupt and sprout. The ‘sprouting’ of this tuber is the beginning of a thought. Thoughts come and go. The Self is the knower-seer of thoughts.” As per Param Pujya Dadashri, our positive and negative thoughts determine our happiness or unhappiness respectively because we believe that, ‘I’ am the one having the thought. However, in reality, it is not so. We are completely separate from our thoughts. Only if we free ourselves from the wrong belief of ‘Who am I’ can we also free our minds from the unpleasant thoughts of greed, lust, pride, negativity, obsessions etc. The right understanding that, neither the thoughts are mine nor is the ‘one’ who is having the thoughts, sets in after Self Realization. Once we begin to stay separate from the thoughts that arise in the mind, then the mind cannot bother us anymore. That is when we begin to experience freedom in the true sense! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-independence-day-2018/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-independence-day-2018/ Tue, 14 August 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-friendship-day-2018/ We have all grown up hearing this adage, ‘A friend in need is a friend indeed,’ since childhood and have lived by it ourselves on several occasions. But should our friendship only be limited to helping our friends in their hour of need? Shouldn’t it extend to other people and at all times?  All great men have become great because of their virtue of ‘humanity’. Humanity means, ‘the quality of being humane or benevolence.’ In today’s times, we are all too busy to look around. Of course, we do care for our family and friends and think that it is enough. But does that make us ‘humane’?  Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “Life is meant for practicing benevolence and serving others. You will not encounter any obstacles in your life if you ‘Help Others’ in any way.”  Helping others does not mean going out of our way to do something for others. Even doing small things like fetching groceries for an old neighbour, preparing a meal for someone who desperately needs it, or helping someone in their studies etc. From the moment we do these small things for others, we start experiencing happiness.  As we have seen, helping others or practicing benevolence has its own virtues, Param Pujya Dadashri goes one step further and says, ‘If you cannot Help Others, at least make sure that you do not hurt anyone, even if they have caused you problems.’  What will all this give you? Not only will you end up being happy yourself, but you will also make friends along the way. Why wait? Let’s try it out ourselves from this Friendship Day itself. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-friendship-day-2018/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-friendship-day-2018/ Fri, 03 August 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/gurupurnima-2018/ Rooted in Sanskrit, the word Guru is derived from ‘gu’ which means darkness and ‘ru’ which denotes the removal of darkness. Hence, a Guru or a teacher is believed to be the one who removes all darkness from our lives. On this day, people take special care to pay respect to their Gurus. This festival is celebrated on the day of the full moon (Purnima) in the Hindu month of Ashadha (June–July).                                              “Guru Govind dono khadey, kisko laagoo paaya?                                               Balihari Guru aapki, Govind deeyo bataayi.” – Saint Kabir It means “Guru and God both stand here, whom do I bow to? The greatness is yours my Guru, who showed me the Lord.” According to Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, you need a guru in the worldly life and you need a guru on the path of liberation (moksha). You cannot do without a guru. A guru is a light. You need a guru until you attain liberation. If you are at the level of twelve cents and he is at the level of fourteen cents, then you should sit with him, because only the living guru can show you your faults. You must always be open and ready to accept whatever faults your Guru shows you, do not protect them or get angry and retaliate. Internalize what he says, work upon it and try your best to become better. What is important, Param Pujya Dadashri says is that, “You should not look for faults in your guru. Once you choose a guru; that is it! Live your life without looking at a single fault of his”. He further explains that, “If you have praised your Guru for forty years, and in the forty-first year, you criticize him, then you will lose all that you had gained in the forty years and on top of that, you bind a karmic fault. Do not worship anyone; if you do, then your reverence for him should not break. Sincerity is the essential requirement of spiritual progress. This is all you need to understand.” Only the one who is living and present can help you, so on this auspicious occasion of Gurupurnima, let us all take this opportunity to resolve that we shall always be sincerely willing to listen, accept and introspect upon whatever our Guru points out to us, as His ultimate goal is our spiritual progress. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/gurupurnima-2018/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/gurupurnima-2018/ Fri, 27 July 2018

Appreciating others brings a smile on their faces and inspires them to do the same. In becoming the source of their happiness, lies the reason for our happiness. Appreciation can make someone’s day. Appreciating someone for their work doesn’t make us any less important…rather we end up gaining the vision to see what is excellent in others.

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/make-your-life-meaningful-ispreadhappiness-2018/ Every one of us is equally responsible for whatever happens around us. Instead of taking the initiative to reform the things we don’t like around us, we have narrowed our vision to achieving our personal goals only. We’ve made ourselves the center of everything that happens around us. We are constantly calculating what the implications of every little change in the circumstances around us, means for us. Deep within the question, ‘What’s in it for me?’ takes over our rationale in every interaction. This attitude shifts our focus towards getting rather than giving. Enlightened Ones have said that Happiness lies in giving not in getting. If there’s something around us that we don’t like, we need to take the first step to ‘give’ by making a positive change. Today’s fast paced lifestyle and competitive environment has led to jealousy, hatred, selfishness, stress, frustration, and many such negative feelings within us. With all of these, there is no room left within us for inner peace and tranquility. We live in a time of seesawing emotions and the temptation of materialistic pleasures suppresses our core goodness, but in spite of this, we can lead a meaningful life. It all starts with a small act of goodness that can spread happiness to others. It doesn’t take much to give happiness, but when it is done with no expectation of return, it sparks off a chain reaction of positive action in others, to do the same. Now is the time, to understand our responsibility in contributing towards a happier home, neighborhood and society. ‘I Spread Happiness’ is a movement to spread the contagious, positive energy of happiness to others. Let us spread happiness in our ‘inner circles’ of loved ones, family members, close friends, etc. as well as among our ‘outer circles’ of colleagues, neighbors, etc.. It starts with you taking this one meaningful step in your life to make the world around you a better place. One small gestures on your part could bring a smile to so many around you. The moment we were born we spread happiness, so why not keep the spark of happiness going on until our last breath... Let’s spread HAPPINESS!

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/explore-uncharted-paths-at-jova-jevi-duniya-2018/ The ideal world we aspire for is completely different from the world in which we all reside. In our world, people tend to quarrel over trivial matters, people are unable to have meaningful relationships with their parents, friends, colleagues, partners, kids, and others, people fail to understand the true purpose of life. In our world, people hold grudges for a lifetime and vent their frustrations on near and dear ones. Life is not complex, we are. The older we get, the more we complicate our lives. ‘Jova Jevi Duniya’, which translates to ‘A World Worth Exploring’ is a whole new world. It is the world that we are all looking for, where there is peace in every heart, where people love each other, where every relationship is respected, where people are free from their past and live life to the fullest. So transform your life from negativity to overwhelming positivity at Jova Jevi Duniya...the destination that will reveal the ‘secrets of life’ that will lead you to a much happier life.

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-nirumas-50-glorious-years-of-gnan-2018/ Pujya Niruma – The Beginning… Dr. Niruben Amin, loving called 'Pujya Niruma', was born on December 2, 1944 in Aurangabad, India. She had five elder brothers and was raised with a lot of love and care. Being ambitious, she aimed to serve people after becoming a doctor. Her service during her mother’s illness earned her blessings that helped her understand and progress in Gnan (knowledge of the Self attained through Self Realization). Pujya Niruma’s spiritual receptivity was so acute, that on hearing from her elder brother for Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, she instantly became interested to meet and attain the knowledge of Self from Him. That night, even before meeting or seeing Param Pujya Dadashri, Pujya Niruma had a dream, where she saw that Param Pujya Dadashri is taking her very, very high in the sky, very, very high, even above the clouds. Then as soon as a thought of suspicion arose in her mind, she fell from that height into the ocean and became a fish! When she woke up, she made the firm decision that, ‘Until the end of my life, I will never doubt Param Pujya Dadashri.’ From this dream, she derived a great conclusion and stayed firm to it throughout her life. ‘I’ separate from ‘My’:        On June 29 1968, Pujya Niruma met Param Pujya Dadashri . At first sight, she had complete surrender for Him. At that time, an urge to spend her whole life in service of Him and Hirabaa [Param Pujya Dadashri’s wife] arose instantly within her. She spent 20 years serving Param Pujya Dadashri and He used to say that she served Him as if they were, “One body and two Souls”. Her awareness in her service was so sharp that she was able to fulfil even the minutest requirements He had. Pujya Niruma had immense love and faith for Akram Vignan. Day and night, her thoughts focused on how this world can attain the knowledge of the Self from Param Pujya Dadashri. Rajmata : Param Pujya Dadashri left His mortal body on January 2 1988, at 1:20pm. At that time, a thought arose within Pujya Niruma, ‘[Param Pujya Dadashri] has gone. Hadn’t He given me a promise [that He would never leave me]?’ On the same day, at midnight, Pujya Niruma recalls that she must have just dozed off and at that time in a loud voice, Param Pujya Dadashri said from within, ‘Why are you worried? I am with you. You continue doing your work.’ This voice lasted within her non-stop for years. Whenever there was a problem or a thought arose about the future, Param Pujya Dadashri would appear and tell her this in a loud voice. This gave her the confidence to go on. During her discourses in later years, she used to say that her role in Param Pujya Dadashri’s mission of the salvation of the world was like that of a Rajmata (Queen Mother). She explains, suppose a King has passed away leaving a young prince behind, who is the next heir to the throne, then the role of the Rajmata (Queen mother) becomes to protect the young prince and to help mould him into the future King. In addition, she has to develop the Kingdom and ensure that it remains safe until the prince is ready to take the throne. The throne belongs to the Prince and the late King, not the Rajmata, she says. The prince in this case was Pujya Deepakbhai.  Param Pujya Dadashri had said that, ‘Deepak has a lot of sincerity in him. If someone were to develop and mould him, he would reach the pinnacle of any direction he is guided.’ Not letting a word of Param Pujya Dadashri go to waste, Pujya Niruma took up the task of moulding Pujya Deepakbhai. She moulded him in every aspect for Param Pujya Dadashri’s mission for the salvation of the world. Showering Unconditional Love On All: Pujya Niruma used pure love as an instrument to attach followers with their ultimate goal of understanding Param Pujya Dadashri’s knowledge of the Self, attaining Shree Simandhar Swami’s refuge and progressing on the path of salvation. For this, she would adjust in every way just to ensure that the person did not divert from the path of salvation. She had the ability to identify positive traits within everyone she met. She would encourage those Positive traits in such a way that other positive qualities automatically developed within that person. She always said that any particular object or piece of work was not as valuable as a person’s heart. All followers were a piece of her heart. They should not get hurt. Maa: “Niruben! You will have to become a mother to the whole world,” Param Pujya Dadashri said to Pujya Niruma, in 1987 during His final days. Pujya Niruma fulfilled Param Pujya Dadashri’s wish of becoming the ‘Mother of the World’ when people began to identify her as a mother. She had so many innate qualities that helped her easily fulfil this wish of Param Pujya Dadashri. In the worldly life, a mother’s love is said to be and is incomparable and free of any expectation. Pujya Niruma’s internal purity was such that this feeling remained the same throughout for everyone and anyone. She was impartial in her dealings while nurturing a person. Her motherly love for people made them so attached towards her that, they worked as hard if not harder as they would have worked in their own business. Followers experienced that when they were working a regular job, they performed less and got more tired and while doing seva it was the opposite. This was all because of Pujya Niruma’s motherly love and care. She won over the hearts of followers with her love. Akram na Mallinath: Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan on October 13, 1968 said, “This Niruben is such that she can become a Tirthankar (The absolutely enlightened Lord who can liberate others)”. In the scriptures, it is said that a woman cannot become a Tirthankara, yet Mallinath Bhagwan was an exception. Pujya Niruma, with her extraordinary spiritual effort was able to destroy all the obstacles on her path and attain the stage of spashta vedan (clear and distinct experience of the pure Soul). Thus, Param Pujya Dadashri used to call her “Malinath” of the Akram. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-nirumas-50-glorious-years-of-gnan-2018/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-nirumas-50-glorious-years-of-gnan-2018/ Sun, 08 July 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/global-forgiveness-day-2018/ “Life without conflict”, sounds so good! A lifetime goal to be achieved. But in order to achieve this goal, a very small attempt could be made by living our one whole day without conflict – by forgiving and being forgiven by others. In today’s busy life, day in and out we meet conflicts whether its within ourselves, with our friends, spouse, parents, children etc., with the organization we work in or within the organization with your boss or colleagues or employees. These conflicts arise in our life when we choose to blame or are blamed, convict others or are convicted or carry resent for the flaws or mistakes done by others or by our own selves. There is always another choice – forgiveness. It opens up the door to peace within us and outside in our life. You might ask, ‘Why will I choose to forgive or ask for forgiveness?’ For this, we need to first understand what forgiveness is exactly. Generally, forgiving others is understood as letting go of resentment or grudges towards another person who has hurt us. Asking for forgiveness is for hurting or for some wrongdoing we have done to someone else. As per Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, forgiveness is asked for the mistakes or the hurt we have caused others. One can ask for forgiveness by doing pratikraman. Pratikraman is a three-step process of the reversal of aggression or harm done through our thoughts, speech and actions. It includes 1) recalling our mistake (alochana), 2) asking for forgiveness, with repentance (pratikraman) and 3) asking for strength not to repeat the mistake again, with a firm determination (pratyakhyan). This is with how we should ask for forgiveness for hurting others. However, for forgiving others, Param Pujya Dadashri says, that you should forgive others even if they harm you, as they are releasing you from your demerit karma, which you had bound in your past life. He adds that you should feel obliged to the person who is releasing you from the bondage of your demerit karma. In reality, no one has the capacity to hinder you spiritually or create obstacles on your path to salvation, because no living entity is capable, even in the remotest sense, of interfering with another living entity and this is exactly how this world is. Param Pujya Dadashri says, “When someone insults you and you are affected by his actions, but you feel that it is a consequence of your own mistake and you continue to do pratikraman, then that is the Lord’s greatest Gnan (Knowledge). That verily will take you to liberation (moksha). If you abide by just one word or one sentence of ‘ours’ [Param Pujya Dadashri’s] it will take you to moksha.” Hence, this understanding helps us forgive others. Param Pujya Dadashri has derived this understanding after practically applying it in His life and analysing facts and circumstances from all perspectives. Conflicts can be reduced to null or mistakes can only be cleansed if pratikraman is done with right understanding. In addition, when conflicts reduce in your life and you become free from your mistakes, you start leading a happier life – a life without conflicts! So let us all collectively aim to remove conflicts from our lives and walk on the path of forgiveness with correct understanding, this Global Forgiveness Day. Furthermore, staying in the conscious awareness of the fact that true happiness could be sought by forgiving and being forgiven by others. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/global-forgiveness-day-2018/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/global-forgiveness-day-2018/ Thu, 05 July 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/akram-na-mallinath-2018/ Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan on October 13, 1968 said, “This Niruben is such that she can become a Tirthankar.” In 1974, He said, “She is really Chandanbala at this time in this world.” He even said, “She is Mallinath (the sole female Tirthankar of the past 24 Tirthankar of this world) of our Akram.” These statements reveal the spiritual heights that Pujya Niruma reached in Param Pujya Dadashri’s presence. A Tirthankar is a living fully enlightened being whose presence turns every place He goes to into a place of pilgrimage and whose darshan grants final liberation to the one who has attained Self Realization. He is completely pure, celibate, free from anger-pride-deceit-greed and His life is dedicated to the salvation of the world. In the scriptures, it is mentioned that one cannot become a Tirthankara if they are a woman. It is also mentioned that there are 10 exceptions to the rules of nature. One of those exceptions is that Mallinath Bhagwan became a Tirthankara and She was a woman. Param Pujya Dadashri used to call Pujya Niruma “Malinath” of the current era. Let us see why: Pujya Niruma had heard Param Pujya Dadashri say that He has within Him the incredible power, that if everyday someone asks for the energy to shake the whole world, five times at His feet then that energy will manifest within them in 5 years. So she used to ask Param Pujya Dadashri not just five times but five hundred times a day, for the status of a Tirthankar, whereby she would be powerful enough to do the salvation of the entire world. By grasping His words and asking for these energies sincerely for years, Pujya Niruma displayed how important the salvation of the world was for her and her level of spiritual development. In 1969, Param Pujya Dadashri remarked that, “I have had the avagaadha (constant experience of the Self) and Niru has had the gaadha (unwavering experience of the Self).” Param Pujya Dadashri first guided Pujya Niruma on how to be a celibate. He taught her how to achieve ultimate purity in celibacy. Thus, Pujya Niruma was able to become resolute in her celibacy. In the current era, when it is next to impossible for women to live without any dependency, Pujya Niruma, with her extraordinary spiritual effort was able to destroy all the inherent female characteristic traits, illusory attachment, pleasures of the five sense organs, and attain the stage of spashta vedan (clear and distinct experience of the pure Soul). Param Pujya Dadashri also said that, if you turn someone onto the path of salvation with your speech then you create a future life of a Tirthankar. Pujya Niruma led countless people towards the path of salvation with her speech. Contrary to what the scriptures mention, even as a woman, Pujya Niruma with this knowledge of the Self, progressed and was able to break the bondage of all the inherent female characteristic traits. She was able to do incredible work for the salvation of the world. She is predicated as a symbol of strength for countless people. Even for those celibate followers, who have not seen Her, Pujya Niruma remains such a support and inspiration. They are not only leading their celibate life based on her support and inspiration, but she also gives them strength and confidence that they can cross the worldly life and reach their goal of ultimate salvation. That is why Pujya Niruma is referred to as ‘Akram na Mallinath.’ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/akram-na-mallinath-2018/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/akram-na-mallinath-2018/ Sat, 30 June 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/thus-became-the-mother-of-the-world-2018/ “Niruben! You will have to become a mother to the whole world,” Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan said to Pujya Niruma, in 1987 during His final days. Param Pujya Dadashri knew well ahead that Pujya Niruma will not only progress on the path of salvation herself, but will also become a strong instrument in helping others progress on the same path. However, He did not reveal this until Pujya Niruma was completely ready. In the end, she was able to attain His grace and He gave her His blessings to continue the work of the salvation of the world. Pujya Niruma fulfilled Param Pujya Dadashri’s wish of becoming the ‘Mother of the World’ when people began to identify her as a mother. She had so many innate qualities that helped her easily fulfil this wish of Param Pujya Dadashri. In the worldly life, a mother’s love is said to be and is incomparable and free of any expectation. Pujya Niruma’s physical presence was itself such that people felt blessed being around her. Her internal purity was such that this feeling remained the same throughout for everyone and anyone. When a child misses their mother or wants something, a mother understands without words. Such an incident occurred during the sanctification ceremony of the Adalaj Trimandir. A long procession had been organized on a road, which was to stop where a stage was set up. As is turned out the stage was in a place where all the followers felt that Pujya Niruma was far away from them. As Pujya Niruma reached the stage, she realized this. So she went into the crowd giving everyone darshan. Everyone was overjoyed by this gesture. She had an art, by which she could make the followers do various seva activities so as to increase their enthusiasm. She never used to fret and do things herself. Her motherly love for people made them so attached towards her that, they worked as hard if not harder as they would have worked in their own business. Followers experienced that when they were working a regular job, they performed less and got more tired and while doing seva it was the opposite. This was all because of Pujya Niruma’s motherly love and care. She won over the hearts of followers with her love. Pujya Niruma was impartial in her dealings while nurturing a person. If ever anyone’s weakness came in her notice, she never saw the person at fault. She only had an inner intent that the person somehow come out from the mistake and for this she even waited for years, during which not even a single atom within her alters for that person. This is why everyone felt pure love and motherly attachment for her. Pujya Niruma was fond of making and feeding everyone delicious food. If she knew the taste of your favourite dish, she could cook the dish with the same taste. She had that talent. She even taught celibate followers to cook, guided them on what they should take care of while cooking and how to fill other people’s lunch boxes. Not only did she cook, but she also used to remember and send celibate followers their favourite dishes, which left them overwhelmed and speechless. One time, two celibate followers were working day and night, with little sleep to complete a project. They even took shifts sleeping, in order to finish their work. When this came to Pujya Niruma’s attention, she personally made sure that, the followers had various snacks available in their office and she would occasionally send them meals cooked in her own residence. Although she was an embodiment of love, loving unconditionally without any expectation like an actual mother, she never established that she had such qualities on her own. She always said that she learned this gift from Param Pujya Dadashri’s conduct. This was the extent of her awareness, that she remained the smallest of small, even though she had reached great spiritual heights. Pujya Niruma was unique in more ways than one, stay tuned to find out more… https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/thus-became-the-mother-of-the-world-2018/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/thus-became-the-mother-of-the-world-2018/ Wed, 27 June 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/showering-unconditional-love-on-all-2018/ True love - that which does not increase or decrease, but remains constant. Even if someone insults you or praises you, it remains the same. In true love, when you love someone you have no expectations of them and you do not have the desire for revenge. Whomever you love, you never see their faults or mistakes. You always see them as faultless. Love is always something you to give others, not something to get from others. We seek love from others, but we will not find it anywhere because no one has this true love. The love that you search from others, that is not true love. Love is not something you ask for, it is something you give others. When you learn to give love to others, you will never feel the need to be loved. It will be overflowing within you, so you do not need it, instead you will share it with others. This is how Pujya Niruma became the ‘Embodiment of Love’.  She said, “That is what I do, I don’t want love, I have come to give love [to others]. So wherever I go I always receive love.” Pujya Niruma used pure love as an instrument to attach followers with their ultimate goal of understanding Param Pujya Dadashri’s knowledge of the Self, attaining Shree Simandhar Swami’s refuge and progressing on the path of salvation. For this, she would adjust in every way just to ensure that the person did not divert from the path of salvation. Pujya Niruma also used to ensure that the children whose idol she was, not only progressed spiritually but also in their worldly life. She used to guide them in their further studies on seeing their abilities and thus moulded them. Her care and affection was such that it multiplied the enthusiasm of celibate followers and they would work day and night tirelessly to accomplish the work of Param Pujya Dadashri’s mission for the salvation of the world. She had the ability to identify positive traits within everyone she met. She would encourage those positive traits in such a way that other positive qualities automatically developed within that person. Pujya Niruma used to give the individual working in a particular department, full authority to deal with matters pertaining to it and remained as if she knew nothing in the field, so that the person had enough scope to develop fully. In case a mistake was made on their part, she used to ask them to confess themselves, to keep the oneness with Pujya Niruma intact. We can deduce that there existed such balance in Pujya Niruma’s nurturing. She always said that any particular object or piece of work was not as valuable as a person’s heart. All followers were a piece of her heart. They should not get hurt. If a mistake were made, she would not react instantly like others do nor would she let go of the mistake. After some time, she would talk to the people involved regarding their mistake and make them realize where they went wrong. In this situation, if people got upset with themselves for making the mistake, she would also provide balance by showing them the brighter side. Another one of her techniques, she said, was to convince others and get the required work done. If the opposite person was not convinced she would never let the person do the work by force or half-heartedly. When she met followers, she would ask them about their spiritual journey and was able to gauge their present condition. If ever she felt like it was necessary, she would ask the person to improve for their spiritual progress as per her observations. Due to this grace, people would be left in admiration of her and they would completely surrender because of the compassion they received. Pujya Niruma’s love was also in the form of cautionary hints, showing significant mistakes of a person, which if a person understood and grasped, would boost their spiritual progress and take him/her far ahead. She was such that anyone could easily be transparent and openly converse with her. She loved unconditionally without any expectation in return. Pujya Niruma had become the embodiment of pure love following and keeping in mind each and every minute remark Param Pujya Dadashri made. Her last message, during her physical departure was, “Prem thi Rehjo … Promise?” translated "Live with Love...Promise?" Up next find out how Pujya Niruma became the ‘Mother of the World’… https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/showering-unconditional-love-on-all-2018/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/showering-unconditional-love-on-all-2018/ Mon, 25 June 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/making-a-reality-all-of-param-pujya-dadashris-wishes-2018/ Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan left His mortal body on January 2 1988, at 1:20pm. At that time, a thought arose within Pujya Niruma, ‘[Param Pujya Dadashri] has gone. Hadn’t He given me a promise [that He would never leave me]?’ On the same day, at midnight, Pujya Niruma recalls that she must have just dozed off and at that time in a loud voice, Param Pujya Dadashri said from within, ‘Why are you worried? I am with you. You continue doing your work.’ This voice lasted within her non-stop for years. Whenever there was a problem or a thought arose about the future, Param Pujya Dadashri would appear and tell her this in a loud voice. This gave her the confidence to go on. Thus, Pujya Niruma started her journey to spread Akram Vignan and make a reality even the smallest of Param Pujya Dadashri’s wishes. She travelled to small villages in India where Param Pujya Dadashri had never been, facing hardships, but she never let those hardships stand in her way. She started her work for the salvation of the world, from a small place in the ‘Mistry’ building in Mumbai, India. From there, she later moved to a small apartment in a building in Ahmedabad, called ‘Varun’. As the days passed and in order to accommodate an increasing crowd of followers, an entire building was built in Ahmedabad, called ‘Dada Darshan’. Pujya Niruma’s goal was that Param Pujya Dadashri and His spiritual science of Akram Vignan spread to every corner of the world. To make this a reality she travelled extensively throughout the entire world. Once ‘Dada Darshan’ started to become small, there became a need to establish a bigger centre. During that time, a follower suggested that there was a lot of open land near a village called Adalaj, which was not far from Ahmedabad. Pujya Niruma took into account this small suggestion and had it investigated further. It ended up being the land where the Adalaj Trimandir complex was built. Within the complex, Simandhar City, a residential colony for followers was built, where they could collectively stay and practice the principles laid out by Param Pujya Dadashri and progress on their path to liberation. Param Pujya Dadashri had foretold that a city like this would be built and it would have red shingle roofed houses. This detail was also taken into account when the city was being built. A ‘Gigantic Hall’ was built below the Adalaj Trimandir, where a large number of people could be accommodated comfortably to attend the spiritual discourses conducted. A Dormitory, for visitors to stay overnight. A Temple Dining Hall, where visitors can eat pure food. A Gurukul (Hostel for Boys), where children are nurtured with great love and care. Nirant, a home for senior citizens, where they can spend the remaining part of their lives worry-free and study Akram Vignan in depth. The Trimandir Complex also has a Bank, Amba Health Center, Amba Refreshments Restaurant and a school for children. Param Pujya Dadashri also described all these places. An ardent follower of Param Pujya Dadashri, Pujya Niruma led the Dada Bhagwan Foundation, fulfilling all of Param Pujya Dadashri’s dreams. She never established herself as the doer and let all the major decisions of any new projects be decided by the individuals involved in it. In this way, she stayed the smallest of the small even though she had the authority to change decisions based on her single word. She also developed young celibate followers by giving them various projects even though they were inexperienced in the connected fields. During her discourses in later years, she used to say that her role in Param Pujya Dadashri’s mission of the salvation of the world was like that of a Rajmata (Queen Mother). She explains, suppose a King has passed away leaving a young prince behind, who is the next heir to the throne, then the role of the Rajmata (Queen mother) becomes to protect the young prince and to help mould him into the future King. In addition, she has to develop the Kingdom and ensure that it remains safe until the prince is ready to take the throne. The throne belongs to the Prince and the late King, not the Rajmata, she says. The prince in this case was Pujya Deepakbhai.   Param Pujya Dadashri had said that, ‘Deepak has a lot of sincerity in him. If someone were to develop and mould him, he would reach the pinnacle of any direction he is guided.’ Not letting a word of Param Pujya Dadashri go to waste, Pujya Niruma took up the task of moulding Pujya Deepakbhai. She moulded him in every aspect including how to purchase routine groceries, take care of celibate followers, the residents of Simandhar City and over-see various projects in Param Pujya Dadashri’s mission for the salvation of the world. To know how she nurtured and developed everyone to carry out their worldly duties, while remaining in the knowledge of Self, stay connected for the upcoming part. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/making-a-reality-all-of-param-pujya-dadashris-wishes-2018/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/making-a-reality-all-of-param-pujya-dadashris-wishes-2018/ Wed, 20 June 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/gnan-and-the-gnanis-selfless-service-2018/ On June 29 1968, Pujya Niruma met Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan. At first sight, she had complete surrender for Him. At that time, an urge to spend her whole life in service of Him and Hirabaa [Param Pujya Dadashri’s wife] arose instantly within Pujya Niruma. In a short span of four years, she understood the complete spiritual science of Akram Vignan from Param Pujya Dadashri. Her awareness was so sharp that she managed to apply the principles explained by Param Pujya Dadashri, all the time. She spent 20 years serving Param Pujya Dadashri and He used to say that she served Him as if they were, “One body and two Souls”. Which meant that Pujya Niruma used to take care of Him, as if He were her own self. She was able to give Him what He needed even without Him having to ask for it. Her awareness in her service was so sharp that she was able to fulfil even the minutest requirements He had. Pujya Niruma had immense love and faith for Akram Vignan. Day and night, her thoughts focused on how this world can attain the knowledge of the Self from Param Pujya Dadashri. Param Pujya Dadashri said, “The entire siddhant—principle of (Akram Vignan)—remains constantly within for Niruben here. Through the divyachakshus (divine inner vision of the Gnan), she sees the Lord everywhere.” (06-05-1970). Her devotion and understanding was so boundless that Param Pujya Dadashri said in 1970, “I know with surety that Niru will not remain weak and incomplete. I am aware of the faith that Niru will not break any of my instructions.” Proving Param Pujya Dadashri true Pujya Niruma abided by all His instructions and was able to reach the clear and distinct experience of the pure Soul.

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-niruma-the-beginning/ Dr. Niruben Amin, loving called 'Pujya Niruma', was born on December 2, 1944 in Aurangabad, India. She had five older brothers and was raised with a lot of love and care. Her mother used to follow the Vaishnav Dharma and performed some rituals and offerings to Lord Krishna. However, Pujya Niruma was less inclined to participate in these religious rituals. An interesting fact about Pujya Niruma is that her memory was extremely sharp as was her grasping power. This meant that she could remember her studies by reading them over once or by just having a glance. She was ambitious and aimed to serve people by becoming a Doctor. When her mother became ill, Pujya Niruma served her with great love and care. Deeply happy and satisfied with her service, her mother gave Pujya Niruma lots of blessings. These blessings helped her, understand and progress in Gnan (Knowledge of the Self). Pujya Niruma first heard about Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan from her older brother. Her brother told her that, there is someone whom, within an hour, had the ability to impart knowledge that could make you unaffected by worldly happiness and sorrows. Pujya Niruma’s spiritual receptivity was so acute, that on hearing that, she instantly became interested. That night, even before meeting or seeing Param Pujya Dadashri, Pujya Niruma had a dream. In the dream, she saw Param Pujya Dadashri, exactly as He was. He was taking her very, very high in the sky, very, very high, even above the clouds. She was very blissful, and then within the dream itself, she suddenly had the thought of suspicion, “Where is Param Pujya Dadashri taking me?” As soon as she had the thought, she fell from that height into the ocean and became a fish! When she woke up, she make the firm decision that, ‘Until the end of my life, I will never doubt Param Pujya Dadashri.’ From a dream she derived a great conclusion and stayed firm on it throughout her life. Keep an eye out to learn about the next part of Pujya Niruma’s journey… https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-niruma-the-beginning/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-niruma-the-beginning/ Sat, 09 June 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-parent-s-day-2018/ Parent’s Day is a day that commemorates the special bond of love between parents and their children. It celebrates and recognizes the important role of responsible parenting in everyday family life. Parents play a vital role in the lives of their children. The hard work that parents put in, to shape the personality of their child, is remarkable. In our Hindu culture, for centuries, the intent expressed in the phrase, ‘Maintain respect towards your mother and father by regarding them as celestial Gods,’ has been customarily passed down the generations. So, if there is any service that is worthy of being done first in this world, then it is to serve your mother and father. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “If you give happiness to your mother and father, then happiness arises in you. Those who make their mother and father happy, are never miserable. Those who serve their mother and father are never miserable. The miseries in this era of the time cycle are in fact, due to not being able to serve one’s mother and father. What does the Lord say? “If you want to attain liberation then go to the Gnani Purush (Self-Realized One), and if you want happiness in worldly life, then serve your mother, father and guru.” It is possible to attain immense happiness by serving your mother and father!”” Your parents’ brought you into this world. They raised you. They made sure your stomach was full, even if it meant theirs was empty. They gave you new clothes, even if they needed to buy new clothes themselves. They made sure you got a good education, even if it meant they had to work extra shifts. They tried to fulfill as many of you demands as possible, even if they did not have enough money. They made sure that all your needs were met, no matter what they had to sacrifice. So are you not obliged to them? In return, for all that they have done for you, you should repay them whole-heartedly, shouldn’t you? In fact, even if a person on the street has done you a favor, you never forget it, so then; you should never forget your parents’ benevolence. You should serve them. You should please them. You should not hurt them. Serving one’s mother and father is so important that even the Vitaraag Lords (absolutely detached Lords) and many saints served their mothers and fathers, up until the end. By serving our parents, we bind the greatest merit karma, and with that, things will turn out to be good for us. In this world, three people have obliged us the most – our mother, father and our Guru. So let us resolve that we shall never forget their favor! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-parent-s-day-2018/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-parent-s-day-2018/ Wed, 30 May 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mothers-day-2018/ Mother's Day celebrates motherhood, maternal bonds and mothers as a whole. It is a special opportunity for families to show their appreciation for mothers, because mothers are irreplaceable. Pujya Niruma is an embodiment of pure love. She is the mother of the world and that is the reason the subtle presence of Pujya Niruma is still felt by us all. She understood the entire science of Akram Vignan and possessed the outstanding ability to convey it to us. She gave us the knowledge of ‘Who am I’, thus paving the way for our salvation - the ultimate destination or goal of the human life. Pujya Niruma promised Param Pujya Dadashri that she would execute with complete dedication His vision of the world's salvation, through the simple path of Akram Vignan. She fulfilled this promise until her last breath. Let us promise that we will also fulfil her desire until our last breath. Just like a mother is the whole world to her child, Pujya Niruma is our whole world. We just need to follow her every word. Let us celebrate the Pujya Niruma’s presence this mother’s day and fulfil her final wish that all of us should, ‘Live with love, promise?’ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mothers-day-2018/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mothers-day-2018/ Fri, 11 May 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-birthday-pujya-deepakbhai-may-2018/ Happy Birthday to our beloved Pujya Deepakbhai…. 9th May will mark our beloved Pujya Deepakbhai’s birthday. On such a significant day let it serve as an appreciative reminder to all the mahatmas throughout the world of his dedicated, unstinting, ‘selfless service’ (seva) over the last forty-two years. Consistently, throughout these years, Pujya Deepakbhai has performed all the seva which was assigned to him (and much more) with the highest level of sincerity, purity, nobility, humanity and commitment. He has done so without any partiality towards any particular type of seva and applied the same remarkable standards for all the types of sevas he was involved in. Early Years His equanimity and absolute dedication was manifest even in the seva that Pujyashree was involved in the initial small tasks assigned to him. These included: General duties comprised of cleaning (sweeping and mopping). Clearing away flowers and debris following Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s spiritual discourses (satsang). Arranging floor mats for sitting and then picking them up after the satsang. Putting away Param Pujya Dadashri’s shoes, coat, lighting His pipe and cleaning it. Carrying books and material to various satsang Carrying luggage for mahatmas. Dropping and picking mahatmas up from the airport or train station. Later Years After some time, Pujya Deepakbhai became heavily involved in writing Param Pujya Dadashri’s speech during satsang and editing after office hours. He then began to help Pujya Niruma compile Param Pujya Dadashri’s speech into books. A seva which continues even today. His nobility and sincerity were best observed when he let new mahatmas join in the seva of writing Param Pujya Dadashri’s speech. He taught them everything he knew and held nothing back. If someone did less work or moved to another assignment, then he would complete the remaining work without saying a word. If some aspects of the seva were particularly successful he did not take the credit, he shared the credit with everyone. Similarly, if something had gone wrong, or the work had been delayed he took the blame on to himself. Subordinates who worked with him were never treated disrespectfully or with authority, he explained things to them efficiently, smoothly and got the work done. Pujya Deepakbhai even paid for expenses incurred out of his own pocket without letting others know. He was frugal when it came to spending for himself, but generous when it came to spending for mahatmas. The results of his selfless service and sincerity can be seen today. All the seva Pujya Deepakbhai did was behind the curtains i.e. not in the public eye, and as a result, nature placed him in front of everyone. This is a very short outline of Pujya Deepakbhai’s accomplishments of seva to date and his unstinting dedication to help the salvation of the world. Let us ALL, as mahatmas, take one step forward by participating in Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s 111th Janma Jayanti seva and be an instrumental in the Param Pujya Dadashri’s mission for the salvation of the world. Let us ALL unite in our inner intent, by making Pujya Deepakbhai’s seva message into a reality. Just like Pujya Deepakbhai, we too can make tremendous advancement in the knowledge of the Self (Gnan) through seva, which can be free from kashays by applying the Five Agnas and remaining in Gnan.   Let this be a reminder to inspire us, Mahatmas, to elevate our conduct ourselves. Let us all try to attain the very highest level of seva that Pujya Deepakbhai has performed remarkably over the past 42 years. Pujya Deepakbhai’s seva message related to Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s 111th Janma Jayanti: “The mind, speech and body will do the seva and We will remain in the Five Agnas and in the knowledge of the Self (Gnan). We will do seva without kashays and apply the Five Agnas and remain in the awareness. Before everything was in the form of theory and now it will be practical - the awareness and Five Agnas with seva free of kashay. Seva without anger, pride, greed and deceit goes towards the side of liberation (moksha).”   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-birthday-pujya-deepakbhai-may-2018/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-birthday-pujya-deepakbhai-may-2018/ Mon, 07 May 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/shree-simandhar-swami-s-janma-kalyanak-2018/ Tirthankaras (The absolutely enlightened Lords who can liberate others) are born due to the intent from their previous birth to perpetuate the path of liberation for all living beings. They have risen above all the impurities of anger, pride, deceit, greed etc. and have become pure for the salvation of this world. Lord Simandhar Swami is a Tirthankar. He is currently present, directly accessible, has a physical body and at present lives and moves about in Mahavideh Kshetra. The Lord’s ego is completely dissolved and He remains in absolute awareness of the Pure Soul. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan has emphasized the importance of praying to Simandhar Swami. He says, by praying to Simandhar Swami and accepting His shelter, He can guide us on the path of achieving ultimate bliss and attaining ultimate liberation (moksha). The Tirthankaras are free of all the mistakes and their lives are a great inspiration for us. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “He who has resolved once that, 'I will certainly get rid of the mistakes that are left in me', can become Parmatma (Absolute Supreme Soul).” So if we try to overcome our weaknesses, we can rise above them and continue to become better and better each day. However, the complete destruction of these weaknesses is not possible unless we attain Self Realization. So on this auspicious occasion of Lord Simandhar Swami’s Janma Kalyanak (birth anniversary), let us ask for strength from the Lord to become free of all our weaknesses and pray that may our each and every step always be towards becoming a better individual and finally become one with our own Soul. May we all experience the complete bliss of the Self, that the Lord is an abode of and become completely independent. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/shree-simandhar-swami-s-janma-kalyanak-2018/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/shree-simandhar-swami-s-janma-kalyanak-2018/ Mon, 09 April 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-hanuman-jayanti-2018/ Lord Hanuman is the embodiment of devotion and loyalty. Hanuman Jayanti is a Hindu religious festival that celebrates the birth of Lord Hanuman, an ardent devotee of Lord Rama. He is known for His unflinching dedication to Lord Rama. On this auspicious day, devotees of Lord Hanuman celebrate and seek His protection and blessings. Lord Hanuman’s sincerity resonates the power of duty, trust, truth, devotion and loyalty. He was a celibate, and He had no one but the Lord on his mind. Let us ask a question to ourselves, are we completely devoted to our loved one? Can we claim fidelity? What would Lord Hanuman do? The answer is His life was completely filled with intense love for Lord Rama and he did not have the slightest distraction from His devotion and loyalty towards the Lord. Nowadays it does not even take mere seconds for our minds to wander into forbidden territories. That happens because we have a belief that there is nothing wrong in doing so. We are not aware of and do not understand the grave consequences of doing so. We do not know the suffering that lies ahead because of this small momentary pleasure. So let us resolve to shift focus onto the person we have already committed our life to, rather than wandering about seeking what is not rightfully ours. We may not be able to follow celibacy like Lord Hanuman, but at least we remain loyal and devoted towards one person. Let us try to show devotion to our loved one. So on this felicitous occasion, with the blessings of Lord Hanuman, let us make a strong inner intent to be contented with what is rightfully ours and let our mind, speech and body be pure and dedicated to our one and only loved one. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-hanuman-jayanti-2018/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-hanuman-jayanti-2018/ Thu, 29 March 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/mahavir-jayanti-2018/ Mahavir Jayanti commemorates the birth of Lord Mahavir and is celebrated by reliving His teachings of humility, non-violence and simplicity. This day is of immense importance as Lord Mahavir was considered as a blessed child whose birth was preceded by his mother getting various auspicious dreams before His birth. At the age of thirty, abandoning all worldly possessions, He left His home in pursuit of spiritual awakening and became an ascetic. Lord Mahavir spent the next twelve and a half years pursuing a life of hard penance to drive away His basic attachments. He decided to have no possessions at all, not even a bowl for obtaining alms or drinking water; He accepted alms in the hollow of His palm. He strictly followed the principle of ahimsa or non-violence. He endured all the physical hardships of His ascetic life peacefully. People used to abuse Him verbally, but He had faced all such situations with a lot of courage. That is why He is called Maha-Veer. Sangam Dev also perpetrated twenty death-dealing tortures on the Lord. However, in the face of all this suffering, there was the complete absence of fear within Lord Mahavir. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan explains, “When can one say that a person is vitarag (absolutely free from attachment and abhorrence)? When one does not feel fear of anything in this world one can say one is indeed a vitarag. What is the essence of being a vitarag? Fearlessness!” This world is so regular and orderly that if it is not in your karmic account no one can cause any harm to you, so do not be afraid. Not even Lord Mahavir could escape the effects of His past karmas. Param Pujya Dadashri states, “I have seen that the world is faultless, no one is at fault. I had seen that. Not a single living being is at fault in this world and it will always remain in my vision. Whatever the fault is, it is the effect of only my karma. There is not a single living being that destroy your planned design. All these designs are only yours. There is no interference of anyone. The path may be filled with very rough robbers, and yet you will be able to go through it wearing jewelry worth hundreds of thousands of rupees without being robbed. This is how the world is. There is no reason to harbor any fear whatsoever.” So why not try to rationally analyze any fear which paralyzes you - it could be bugs, it could be darkness, it could be your mother-in-law! Is it really worth living with these simple and dissolvable fears? How will your fear leave? If somebody can remove it, then only it will leave. Otherwise, it will not leave. Nobody’s fear leaves on its own. A Gnani Purush means the One in whom Dada Bhagwan has fully manifest. Dada Bhagwan is the Lord within. So on this auspicious occasion of Mahavir Jayanti, let us grace ourselves by meeting a Gnani Purush and bid farewell to all our fears thus living a life full of joy, fearlessness and eternal bliss!      https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/mahavir-jayanti-2018/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/mahavir-jayanti-2018/ Tue, 27 March 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-ram-navmi-2018/ Rama Navmi is a Hindu spring festival that celebrates the birth of Lord Rama. This festival is celebrated with great devotion across the world and every region has its own regional significance behind the celebration. But do we know the importance of celebrating this occasion? It is to remind us to cherish the qualities of Lord Rama and learn from His virtues. It is to imbibe His teachings into our lives. Lord Rama’s heart overflowed with divinity, love, generosity, humility, and a sense of duty. Through His noble and divine choices, He teaches the world to choose duty over worldly luxuries, just as He did when he chose exile over staying in the palace and going against His father’s word. He carried out all His worldly obligations with great care. As a son, He obeyed His father’s orders lovingly and sacrificed His comforts for His father’s dignity. As a stepson, He respected His stepmother and did not resent her. As a brother, He cared for His brother and remained loyal to him. As a husband, He fought for the protection and purity of His wife. As a King, He put His kingdom ahead of His own personal needs and convenience. We are all bound to make errors. We get into silly meaningless fights with our wife; we say harsh things to our mother; we get into unneeded arguments with our father, we get into tussles with our employee and so on. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “If you give happiness to others, then you will receive happiness and if you give pain to others, then you will receive pain; that is considered as humanity.” So on this auspicious day of Ram Navmi let us learn from the virtues of Lord Ram and take just one step forward towards becoming a better person in our worldly interactions. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-ram-navmi-2018/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-ram-navmi-2018/ Fri, 23 March 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/unflinching-determination-for-the-salvation-of-the-world/ Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, the Gnani (Enlightened Being) said the following of Pujya Niruma: ‘She [Pujya Niruma] is going to be a major instrument for the salvation of the world.’ Since her childhood, Pujya Niruma had only one goal in her mind: to serve humanity without personal gain. During her youth, Pujya Niruma studied in the field of medicine and was in the final year of her studies when she met Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan and was exposed to the spiritual science known as Akram Vignan. After meeting the Param Pujya Dadashri in the year of 1968 and attaining Self Realization, she immediately experienced separation from her body. She felt as if she had known Param Pujya Dadashri in her past lives. From that point on, at the mere age of twenty-three, Pujya Niruma’s goal altered from becoming a doctor to the salvation of the world. She thought, ‘As a medical doctor, I can only alleviate physical ailments. However, if I were to serve the Gnani and His mission of Akram Vignan then I can help so many people who are suffering from mental, emotional, and worldly ‘ailments’.’ She traveled around the world helping Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan spread the spiritual science. It was their express intention to liberate people from worldly suffering and misery and to instill peace and happiness into the life of many. Simultaneously,  she continued learning more about Akram Vignan from Param Pujya Dadashri and becoming the embodiment of love, compassion and experiencing eternal enlightenment. Following the departure of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, Pujya Niruma continued to fulfil every wish of His. From the first ever construction of Simandhar City (a residential place for the followers to stay together), a non-sectarian temple uniting the three major religions in India, to the grooming and nurturing of a hundred celibate men and women for the dedication to the mission of world salvation. The love that she spread to everyone around her was incomparable! Everyone felt that she was their mother. She loved unconditionally; never expecting anything in return. Anyone who was privileged to have met her used to leave with the feeling of being special, cared for and blessed. Pujya Niruma’s service to the world was with unwavering devotion, dedication, commitment and the highest sincerity. The mission of Akram Vignan did not even stop when her health was extremely poor. Nothing could deter her unflinching determination to fulfil her promise given to Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan for the salvation of the world. Every atom of her body was meant for spending for the liberation of all beings. Spreading the message of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s spiritual science through various means brought inevitable fame to her, but she maintained absolute purity taking no credit and or self-praise for herself. She would always give all the credit to Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s grace and power. Even today, twelve years since she left her mortal body, Pujya Niruma touches and lives in the heart of many new or old seekers. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/unflinching-determination-for-the-salvation-of-the-world/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/unflinching-determination-for-the-salvation-of-the-world/ Sat, 17 March 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/the-outstanding-virtues-of-a-gnani/ 6th March is an auspicious and joyous day for all. It is on this very day, in 1971, when our beloved Pujya Deepakbhai, received Gnan (knowledge of the Self) from Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan. He was only 17 years old at that time. Upon the attainment of Self Realization, his internal peace increased. Material life did not attract him even before he received this knowledge and after he received it, he decided that he wanted to utilise his mind, speech and body for the sole purpose of the salvation of the world. However, Puyja Deepakbhai had to fulfil his worldly obligations. His father wanted him to continue with his studies, secure a good job and eventually settle down and get married. There was a great deal of pressure from his father. Pujya Deepakbhai resolved to manage the relationship with his father with absolute humility, through the divine vision by only seeing his pure Soul and crucially perceiving his father as completely faultless. Throughout this difficult period, Pujya Deepakbhai never blamed his father but always maintained that the fault was his own. He performed penance, he never opposed his father, and he never clashed with him and never answered back once. Pujya Deepakbhai served and looked after his parents in the best possible way to the very end of their lives. His father had said, ‘This path Akram Vignan (Spiritual Science) that you are following is of an extremely high level and it is beneficial for my liberation and in my worldly life’. All who meet him, witness Pujya Deepakbhai’s exemplary conduct even today. His virtues are those of a Gnani Purush, an enlightened being. Their divine vision is focused on the Pure Soul within everyone; they are humble, compassionate and they communicate with all beings with absolute purity, humility and unconditional love. This state of theirs does not alter. Thus, the celebration of the 47th anniversary of Pujya Deepakbhai’s Gnan Day is a day for all. Pujya Deepakbhai has not for a single moment given any thought to his own personal needs or wishes but has instead devoted his life with the utmost sincerity in being an instrument for the salvation of the world. For him, every atom dwells in only one inner intent: that everyone achieves happiness and peace through the attainment of the knowledge of the Self. So, let us all join our hands and pray heartily to Lord Shree Simandhar Swami and Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan to continue to bestow their auspicious blessings upon him thus enabling him to carry on being an instrument in fulfilling the mission for the salvation of the world. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/the-outstanding-virtues-of-a-gnani/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/the-outstanding-virtues-of-a-gnani/ Tue, 06 March 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-holi-2018/ Holi is the festival of colors. It is the triumph of good over evil. It marks the arrival of spring and a festive occasion to meet with friends and family, laugh and enjoy. Hindus believe it to be a time of enjoying spring's abundant colors and saying farewell to winter. Holi festivities mark the beginning of the New Year for some, as well as an occasion to reset and renew ruptured relationships, end conflicts and rid us of accumulated emotional impurities from the past. On the white canvas of our lives, we end up unknowingly leaving big black spots. These black spots are; the grudges we hold on to, the scars on our ego, the times we get angry, when our pride is hurt, the times when we use deceit as a tool to get what we want and our greed. Sadly, they only get more obvious as the painting evolves, unless we choose to paint them over or erase them. But how is this possible? Using the powerful tool of pratikraman (asking for forgiveness). Pratikraman is a way to wash out all these black spots. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says that, “Things come into your memory even when you don’t want them to; that is because ‘pratikraman dosh’ is pending (mistake for which pratikraman was not done yet)”. These past karmas are like big black spots and they need to be washed out by doing pratikraman heartily. Would it not be nice if these spots could be painted brilliantly once again? So on such a beautiful and colourful occasion, come let us wash out all the black spots and scars from our life and paint it once again with the colours of forgiveness, joy and eternal happiness!! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-holi-2018/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-holi-2018/ Tue, 27 February 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/expect-less-forgive-more-this-valentine-s-day/ Valentine's Day is celebrated on 14th February every year across the world. On this special day, people celebrate love by spending time with their loved ones. Everyone is in search of true love. But does anyone know the real definition of love? Real love does not increase or decrease in nature. That which increases or decreases is attraction, infatuation and not love. The love that has no expectations, that does not look for faults and never changes is the love of the Supreme Soul. That is true love. If we do not find faults in other people and we believe that the world is faultless, only then we can love this world and the people in this world. So do not try to change the world, change yourself first. Adjust to every situation that comes your way and love everyone unconditionally. Do not keep expectations of your loved ones, because if they are not fulfilled, then you will be disappointed. This disappointment will lead to sorrow and clashes. Let us make this Valentine’s Day more special for us all by not looking at the faults of the people around us. Let us get rid of our expectations and forgive them. Let us take a step forward towards true love by expecting less and forgiving more! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/expect-less-forgive-more-this-valentine-s-day/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/expect-less-forgive-more-this-valentine-s-day/ Tue, 13 February 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/insults-and-maha-shivratri-what-is-the-connection/ “It is a tremendous strength to be able to digest an insult.” - Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan The festival of Maha Shivratri is observed in honour of Lord Shiva. He is known as nilkanthi because He drank poison, which would otherwise have destroyed the world, with a smiling face. How does this apply to your life today? Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “When you drink the poisons this world serves you [when you accept all suffering, mistreatment, abuse etc., that you receive at the hands of others], then you too become Shankar or Shiva. If anyone abuses you and insults you and you accept it with equanimity, and you bless that person, you become Shankar. Equanimity cannot be maintained all the time but when you bless your aggressor, it can be attained. If you try to maintain only equanimity it can backfire so you must also bless your aggressor.” Your pride will be uprooted when a person who insults you appears to be your benefactor. The person who insults should be considered a benefactor, instead people get depressed when they are insulted. What happens if you learn how to digest insults? Karmic account gets cleared: When you hurt someone knowingly or unknowingly you bind demerit karma. By digesting insults, accepting mistreatment or abuse with this right understanding that your karmic account is being cleared, then you will progress on your path of becoming Shiva. Inner strength increases: With the power to survive in adverse circumstances, our inner strength increases, which in turn helps you to tackle any situation that arises in the future because your common sense increases. Not only that your personality becomes strong also. Better relationships: You will no longer attack the opposite person in an argument and say hurtful words, which you later regret, once you learn to digest insults. This will have a positive effect on your relationships. Situation calms down faster: If you stop reacting negatively then other people will start to notice. They will observe that you are not affected and therefore they will calm down faster. These are just some of the benefits of digesting insults, which are unknown to the world. In fact, the world believes that digesting an insult is a weakness, but it is in reality a strength.   So this Maha Shivratri let us decide to start our spiritual journey towards becoming Shiva with this right understanding from Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan.   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/insults-and-maha-shivratri-what-is-the-connection/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/insults-and-maha-shivratri-what-is-the-connection/ Mon, 12 February 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-republic-day-jan-2018/ 26th January marks the celebration of the Republic Day of India. Do we know why this day is celebrated every year? In the year 1950, the Constitution of India came into effect on this day. After attaining independence in 1947, India had to face many problems. Therefore, it was mandatory to establish a set of rules and regulations guiding the administration of the country.  Just like it is essential to have a constitution to manage the affairs of a country, is it not necessary for each individual to lay down a constitution for themselves? By doing this, one is able to have a clear purpose and direction in life. Once we decide upon a goal, we are not bound to get lost anywhere in our journey of life. According to Param Pujya Dadashri, there are two purposes of the human life. One purpose of life is to be of service to others (paropkar). Service to others means that you use your mind, your speech and your actions to help others. Just like a mango tree does not eat its own mangoes but others use its wood, leaves, fruits etc and its life is lived for serving others. The second purpose of life is for attaining liberation (moksha) from the bondage of karma. It is for the purpose of becoming ‘Absolute’— fully enlightened; to acquire Self Realization. And if one does not get the opportunity to attain the knowledge of Self Realization, then he should live for others. If a person were to follow this goal, he would attain liberation while living, beyond which there is nothing left to attain. In keeping with the spirit of this day, let us resolve to incorporate these goals into our lives, only then it can be said to have fulfilled the purpose of human life. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-republic-day-jan-2018/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-republic-day-jan-2018/ Wed, 24 January 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-makar-sankranti-jan-2018/ The day of Uttarayan marks the most awaited occasion to fly kites each year. It is famous for its sesame sweets and kite flying! Sankranti means “movement”. It marks the day where there is a significant movement in the arrangement of the earth’s dial around the sun – and this movement brings about a new change in the way we experience the planet itself. This time is most important for yogis to make a new, fresh effort in their spiritual process. Therefore, on this occasion, people who have family also make a fresh attempt in whatever they do in their lives. Along with making fresh beginnings for our worldly life, let us make a new start in our mind, body and Soul too. But how can that happen? Ask yourself, “Are you holding on to something from the past? A grudge, a wound, a scar or just a stubborn fight?” Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan explains that when we keep mental notes of the past and how other people interact with us, we not only hurt the people around us but also ourselves. Inevitably digging ourselves deeper into the worldly life. This makes it harder to break free from the worldly life and attain salvation. Instead, we should stop keeping mental notes on the past, resolve the problems that come in our lives with right understanding and become free from the worldly life. On this auspicious occasion of Sankranti, why not let the past fly away with the kites, why not rise above our past, why not be free from the clutches of that baggage and move on to the next chapter of our lives. Let us welcome the fresh summer breeze into our heart and mind! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-makar-sankranti-jan-2018/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-makar-sankranti-jan-2018/ Sat, 13 January 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dadashris-punyatithi-jan-2018/ “Enlightened beings never die, if they feel that they will not be able to carry on the work of world salvation through this body, they continue it uninterruptedly through another body” One such enlightened being was A.M Patel (Ambalal Muljibhai Patel), lovingly known as Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan who departed His mortal body on 2 January 1988. He attained spontaneous Self Realization in June 1958 and had the spiritual powers to enlighten others as well. Param Pujya Dadashri introduced Akram Vignan, a stepless spiritual science which enabled people to live a happy and peaceful worldly life. Many people used to ask Param Pujya Dadashri as to why He allowed himself to be addressed as Dada Bhagwan. He would clarify that He is not God Himself. He too bows down to the Lord, who is fully manifested within Him, referred to as Dada Bhagwan. He would explain to everyone He met, “This Lord, Dada Bhagwan also resides within all living beings. The difference is that within Me, He is completely expressed and in you, he has yet to manifest.” All of us have always known ourselves to be our name. But, Param Pujya Dadashri gave us the divine vision of who we really are. What our true Self is like. Through the process of Self Realization, we can know and be in our own true Self, the Soul and experience eternal bliss and happiness forever. Gnani is the bearer of eternal Knowledge. He is omnipresent and omnipotent. He is beyond the clutches of death. Param Pujya Dadashri had said, “I am personally going to impart siddhis (special spiritual powers) to a few people. After I leave, will there not be a need for them? People of future generations will need this path, will they not?”   Param Pujya Dadashri graced Pujya Niruma and Pujya Deepakbhai with His divine energies to conduct spiritual discourses and Self Realization ceremonies. His subtle presence is still felt across the globe. Let us not miss this opportunity to be graced with Self Realization and experience the subtle blessings of Param Pujya Dadashri. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dadashris-punyatithi-jan-2018/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dadashris-punyatithi-jan-2018/ Mon, 01 January 2018

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/good-bye-2017-welcome-eventful-2018-dec-2017/ Just as the time to bid farewell to 2017 comes nearer, the thoughts and picture of the New Year 2018 begins to take shape in our mind. As we enter the New Year, everyone wishes family and friends a very “Happy New Year”. Many people also make new years’ resolutions. Every one of us wants to be happy in every moment of our life, do we not? However, we have happy as well as sad moments one after another. The happy moments and the sad moments are not constant. They come and go away. So despite wishing our friends and family well and trying to be happy at all times, we become depressed during unfavorable times and overly happy during favorable ones. Param Pujya Dadashri says that, “Equanimity is when abhorrence does not arise during the circumstances of abhorrence and attachment does not arise during the circumstances of attachment.” If we wish to do something and other circumstances do not support it then we should not be unhappy or have complaints for anything, and nor should we get disturbed and see the faults of others. Similarly, when all favorable circumstances gather around us, we need not be overly happy, rather we should remain equanimous during both scenarios. So, for the ones who treat us nicely, give us respect and the ones who do not, we must have equal love for them both. Even if we tend to react with someone towards an insulting behavior, our intent should be such that this is not correct and we should repent within for the same. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan further explains that, “It is considered equanimity when attachment does not arise towards someone who offers flowers and abhorrence does not arise towards someone who is pelting stones.” So let us all make a resolution for 2018, that no matter how favorable or unfavorable our outer circumstances are, we will stay equanimous from within, in all situations! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/good-bye-2017-welcome-eventful-2018-dec-2017/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/good-bye-2017-welcome-eventful-2018-dec-2017/ Fri, 29 December 2017

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/merry-christmas-dec-2017/ ♫ ♫ “Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way  Oh, what fun it is to run in a one-horse open sleigh” ♫♫ Melodious carols, glittering lights and Christmas trees are just a few things that commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ. “Christmas” is an annual festival celebrated by billions of people around the world. Families get together to spend time with each other, whereas children look forward to a visit from Santa Claus and his sack of presents. Truly speaking, Christmas is much more than this celebration. It gives us an opportunity to think about the purpose of the human life. Are we just here to wake up, eat, sleep and enjoy? The answer is no. We all seek some kind of security, warmth and the need to achieve something in our life. There has to be a reason for our existence. What can that be? What is something that can give us permanent happiness and sense of security in this time cycle? Nowadays, there is no or very limited peace and tranquility in people’s lives, be it the rich or poor, and no matter which caste or creed you belong to. In this hustle and bustle, fortunate are the ones who can think and execute the purpose of human life. What did Jesus say? “Know thyself”. By knowing yourself, your true Self only then can you become free from all kinds of suffering and be happy and secured. No worldly miseries can affect you once you know who you are and reside in your true Self. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, who attained spontaneous Self Realization in 1958 and had the ability to pass this knowledge to others, used to say that only a lit candle can light another candle. Blessed by Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, Pujya Deepakbhai Desai is currently gifting people worldwide with eternal bliss by imparting Self Realization. This knowledge enables one to achieve the invaluable essence of the human life and pave a way towards salvation. We should not miss this chance! So this Christmas, let us follow Jesus Christ’s message, “Know thyself,” by attending a Self Realization ceremony and getting to know our true Self! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/merry-christmas-dec-2017/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/merry-christmas-dec-2017/ Fri, 22 December 2017

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-nirumas-birthday-dec-2017/ Pujya Niruben Amin, delightedly referred to as Pujya Niruma, was born on 2nd December, 1944 to a wealthy family in Aurangabad, India. A doctor by profession, she had an unflinching desire to dedicate her entire life to relieve people of their pain and miseries. Pujya Niruma met Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan on 29th June 1968, and at first sight she completely surrendered to the Gnani (Self-Realized One). She resolved to serve Param Pujya Dadashri to help Him spread the unique knowledge of Akram Vignan to the world. With the objective to instill peace and eventually liberate people from their mental, emotional and worldly sufferings, she traded in her life of worldly comforts, for a life of service of the Gnani. Pujya Dadashri never forgot the kindness of someone who served Him even one cup of tea in His life and Pujya Niruma served Him for 20 years. As a result, Pujya Dadashri took on the responsibility of taking Pujya Niruma all the way to ultimate liberation. Param Pujya Dadashri had said, “Niruben, you have nursed me like a mother, served me like a daughter, and have served me like a nurse.” He added, “I have to take her [Niruma] to Moksha— ultimate liberation”. In turn, Pujya Niruma had a strong intent and once told Pujya Dadashri in her mind that, ‘You have taken my responsibility for going to moksha, but I will not come alone. I will bring everyone with me. What is the fault of all these people, they have not met you but when you were there, they were also there, so why should they miss out?’ Only one who is pure and has a firm desire for the salvation of the world can utter such compassionate words! Pujya Niruma’s final message was that we should, ‘Live with love.’ She furthermore, ensured this by extracting a promise from everyone by adding, ‘Promise?’ All we have to do is to make this promise. We are fortunate to have the blessings, compassion as well as the continued subtle presence of Pujya Niruma.

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/childrens-day-nov-2017/ As soon as November 14th arrives, children all over India look forward to celebrate Children’s Day, as on this day they have special celebrations in their schools. It is actually the birthday of Shree Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, who used to love children. Children are quick learners and therefore you may have observed that it is often easier to teach a child than an adult. But have you ever thought, what we can learn from children? Let us have a look at what a child can teach us... If you observe a child, you will find:  He is always ready to learn new things. He is always in his natural and spontaneous form, he never worries what people will think about him or what will happen in the future and hence always lives freely. He heartily accepts his mistakes and wishes not to repeat them again. He does not hesitate to do good things, if he thinks it is ok. He is intellect-free and thereby has no opinions for whomever he meets. He is happy for no reason and forgets problems easily. He does things for himself, not to show others. Gnanis (the Self-Realized Ones) also have such childlike traits. The only difference is that a child’s ego and intellect are in a dormant state whereas the Gnani’s ego and intellect have been permanently dissolved by acquiring the right understanding and right knowledge. A wise man would ask, ‘Why only learn from a child? Why not dissolve the intellect and ego completely and remain as freely as the Gnani lives?’ But is this possible? Surely it is! This can happen after we gain the knowledge of the Self from the Gnani. This right knowledge and understanding allow us to remain in a state as free as the Gnani’s, while continuing to engage in worldly life. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/childrens-day-nov-2017/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/childrens-day-nov-2017/ Mon, 13 November 2017

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dadabhagwans-janma-jayanti-nov-2017/ Ambalal Muljibhai Patel was born on November 7, 1908, in Tarsali a village near Vadodara (Gujarat), India. He later came to be known as Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, the founder of Akram Vignan, the spiritual science of the step-less path to Self Realization. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan was very analytic from childhood. He would analyze the events that occurred in His daily life, and had the ability to draw exact conclusions from them. Once He was able to extract a conclusion from an incident, He never forgot what He learnt and as a result never made the same mistake for the rest of His life. Consequently, He was able to become free from all His mistakes and experience eternal bliss. Let us look at one incident that occurred in Param Pujya Dadashri’s life before spontaneous Self Realization occurred within Him and see what conclusion He drew from that incident. A cat had slipped into the kitchen when Param Pujya Dadashri was at home. He quietly kept an open pot of curd for the cat. The cat in temptation of the curd, put its head inside the pot and got trapped. Param Pujya Dadashri, ran to rescue the cat, helped it remove it’s head and concluded, ‘Ah! One has to pay so dearly for one’s greed. Even after having gone through so much trouble, the cat will forget everything. The next time it sees a vessel full of milk or curd, it will make the same mistake, get trapped in the circle of greed and endure pain. Just like the cat, humans too forget the unhappiness they went through the previous time and again turn greedy and make the same mistake.’ Just as Param Pujya Dadashri drew conclusions from every incident in His life and did not let the same mistakes happen again, we can learn to draw conclusions from our life’s incidents and make an active effort not to let the same mistakes occur again. Let us celebrate the birth anniversary of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan by learning this invaluable lesson from Him and thereby take a step towards improving ourselves and turn our lives towards eternal bliss.  https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dadabhagwans-janma-jayanti-nov-2017/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dadabhagwans-janma-jayanti-nov-2017/ Tue, 31 October 2017

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-diwali-2017/ Shatter the Darkness within When you start seeing sparkling diyas lit in the veranda and balconies of Indian homes you must guess that the festival of Diwali has arrived. This festival not only brings brightness, newness and freshness in homes but also in the minds of people. Everyone forgets old grievances and grudges and gets together to celebrate the ‘Festival of Lights’. This festival however has a deep hidden inner meaning. It reflects the celebration of conquest of light over darkness. The story of Ram conquering Ravana is actually a symbolic representation of this fact.  However, is it possible for us to win over the darkness in our lives as well? When we say, defeating darkness, it actually means overcoming the darkness of our problems and difficulties through the light of right understanding and ultimate knowledge. This happens when one receives the knowledge of the Self from the Gnani Purush (One who has realized the Self and is able to do the same for others). This knowledge helps us conquer the vices and darkness within us like anger, pride, greed, deceit and while doing so one gets the distinct experience of one’s pure Self - ‘The Pure Soul’. Why not witness this ourselves by receiving the knowledge of the Self through the grace of the Gnani? Let this Diwali be the perfect time to enlighten our inner light through the knowledge of the Self, the light which will shatter the darkness of ignorance… https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-diwali-2017/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-diwali-2017/ Mon, 16 October 2017

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-navratri-sep-2017/ Navratri is an opportunity to pray to Mataji and get immersed in her bhakti. Devotees do this by doing garba, singing her aarti and stuti (singing her praises). But why should we do bhakti? Is it just to experience peace? Moreover, can a person involved in worldly affairs do bhakti? The answer is yes! As, bhakti is not about how much you pray God but with what intent you pray. Bhakti is simply a selfless connection and communication with God through songs and hymns. And its outcomes are tremendous! - The inherent characteristic traits (prakruti) start becoming natural and the hidden energies within you start to develop. - Bhakti develops our heart, pacifies our intellect and settles our mind. -  The movement of the body and clapping while truly engrossed in bhakti or garba will remove the impurities within oneself. - True devotion pleases God and the devotee will be showered with His grace. So why not be a part of bhakti this Navratri and be blessed with Mataji’s grace!   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-navratri-sep-2017/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-navratri-sep-2017/ Wed, 20 September 2017

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-teacher-s-day-sep-2017/ A teacher, in our time of need… The world celebrates Teacher’s Day to honor and express it’s gratitude towards teachers for their priceless contribution to each individual, as well as the community as a whole. Yet, the importance of a real teacher or a Guru is unknown to many. Param Pujya Dadashri explains the importance of a guru using an example. He says if we do not know the way to the station, then it is a problem. However, if along the way, we encounter someone who knows the way, then we will reach the station quickly. We only realize the value of someone who knows the way i.e.: a teacher, in our time of need. All we have to do is be grateful and respectful to our teachers. This is very important if we are to gain any knowledge from them because no knowledge of any kind can be attained without a Guru. Teachers are necessary for our personal growth and they are the ones who imbibe life values within us such as humility, generosity, and teamwork. With the help of a worldly teacher, we are able to solve our problems and walk on the right path. If on the other hand, we wish to gain spiritual knowledge and Enlightenment we must work according to the guidance of a Gnani Purush (The Enlightened One). Under His guidance, we can fight our inner enemies - the mind, intellect and ego. This is only possible if we place our complete faith in Him. Only then can we receive the benefits of our devotion. So how do you know if you have chosen the right guru? Param Pujya Dadashri says that, “A true Guru is one whose very sight makes our heads bow with respect”. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-teacher-s-day-sep-2017/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-teacher-s-day-sep-2017/ Mon, 04 September 2017

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/samvatsari-a-peaceful-beginning-aug-17/ Paryushan is an 8 to 10 day Jain festival. On the last day of this auspicious festival is Samvatsari. On this day, everyone asks for forgiveness from all living beings by doing pratikraman. It is a noble task to ask for forgiveness directly from the one you have hurt. In Akram Vignan, during Samvatsari, everyone in the same family bows down to each other’s feet to seek forgiveness for their hurtful behaviour throughout life and pledge not to do it again. This is done in the presence of the Gnani Purush Pujya Deepakbhai. While asking for forgiveness, tears of hearty repentance help in washing away mistakes. The effect of one-to-one bowing is tremendous because one’s ego is bowing down in front of the opposite person’s ego. When the ego bows down one becomes humble and feels light within.  Come be a part of this incredible event and feel lighter as never before! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/samvatsari-a-peaceful-beginning-aug-17/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/samvatsari-a-peaceful-beginning-aug-17/ Wed, 23 August 2017

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-janmashtami-aug-17/ One of the most auspicious festivals celebrated in India is Janmashtami, the birth of Lord Krishna. This year 2017, is a unique year, as both Janmashtami and the Indian Independence Day fall on the same day! Every year, Independence Day, commemorates India’s independence. It marks the sacrifices of many great heroes in their effort to make India free. Even though India is free today, we remain to free ourselves from the clutches of our inner enemies like anger, pride, deceit and greed. How long will we be bound by these? The answer is, until we realize our true Self. On the other hand, Janmashtami, is celebrated all over the world in a very vibrant way. It includes singing, fasting, going to the temple, praying together, and preparing and sharing special food. However, along with devotion, one needs to understand how he can attain liberation. In the battlefield of Mahabharata, Lord Krishna imparted the knowledge of the Self to Arjuna, with the help of which Arjuna could fight the war without charging any karma. This allowed him to attain liberation in that very lifetime. Lord Krishna preached about surrendering to Him, meaning His own true Self (the Soul). Therefore, a true devotee is the one who understands and follows His message to attain real freedom from the cycle of birth and death and attain permanent happiness. So let us all celebrate both these auspicious occasions with Lord Krishna’s divine vision in our hearts. Let us direct this new found vision towards our real freedom as a true devotee as well as accomplishing the goal of human life to its fullest. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-janmashtami-aug-17/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-janmashtami-aug-17/ Sun, 13 August 2017

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-rakshabandhan-aug-17/ You have surely celebrated the auspicious occasion of Rakshabandan. You might have tied a rakhi (sacred thread) on someone or might have been tied a rakhi by someone, as Rakshabandan is not restricted to only siblings. How wonderful would it be, if we found someone to tie a rakhi to who is with us, not only in this life but also for the lives to come…? How amazing it would be, if we found someone who assures us protection not only against external evils, but against inner vices as well! Let this festival allow us to be bound to the Eternal One… to God Himself… We all believe in different entities whom we call God. Let us take His refuge and tie Him our ‘Rakhi’. At Adalaj Trimandir, we tie Rakhis to Simandhar Swami, Lord Krishna, Lord Shiva and the other Gods and Goddesses, in the presence of the living Gnani. Thereby, asking for Their protection from all odds that may come our way on the path to salvation… So come and witness this divine festival in a new form here, where Rakshabandhan is celebrated as a bond with the Eternal.   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-rakshabandhan-aug-17/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-rakshabandhan-aug-17/ Sun, 06 August 2017

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-friendship-day-aug-2017/ We cannot choose our family, but we can choose our friends. That is what makes this relation unique. Around your friends, you can be who you are. They are the ones who do not judge you for what you are but let you be the way you are. That is why you are more comfortable when you are with your friends. Param Pujya Dadashri says, ‘You get influenced by the company you keep.’ Therefore, our friends define who we are. They are to a certain extent responsible for our growth and development. Therefore, it is very essential to have a healthy group of friends. A good friend is the one who would guide you on the right path and discourage you from doing something wrong. On the other hand, bad company makes it possible for you to fall instantly. This kind of company adversely affects one’s mind, intellect, ego and body. It is like fireworks; it sets your clothes on fire as it goes off. So beware and know that bad company is a burning fire. On the other hand, good friends can lift up your spirit. Good friends can change the whole being of a man. However, this change takes time because it is harder to climb upwards. Yet if one stays away from bad company and remains in touch with good friends this can be achieved. Yet we lose good friends, why? It often so happens that when someone helps or guides us, we develop attachment and possessiveness for that person. This further gives rise to expectations. And when these expectations are not fulfilled, we feel negative for the person and gradually tend to go away from him. Instead, when we find help of a good friend we can learn those unique qualities from him and in turn be a good friend to someone else. Let this Friendship Day be the perfect time to pledge to be with healthy friends and refrain from bad company. Let’s be an example of a good friend guiding and directing everyone around us to a good path… https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-friendship-day-aug-2017/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-friendship-day-aug-2017/ Sat, 05 August 2017

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-parents-day-july-2017/ Parent’s day is an opportunity for children to show their appreciation and gratitude to their parents by giving them gifts or flowers and spending quality time with them. Parents play a very important role in the development of a child. They mold them into mature and responsible adults. Moral values that parents instill from childhood become the foundation of their children’s bright future. A mother is a child’s first teacher. She teaches him everything. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says that, “Your duty and religion [as children] is to care for your parents. You will receive as much happiness as you give to them. Children who see faults in their parents will never be happy. They may have material wealth, but they would never be happy spiritually. People, who wholeheartedly care for their parents, find peace. That is the law of nature.” He also says that, “In this world you must have the highest reverence towards your father, your mother and your guru. You cannot forget the benevolence of those who have guided you to the right path.” So let us remember and cherish all that our parents have done for us and express our love and affection for them by serving them whole-heartedly.   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-parents-day-july-2017/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-parents-day-july-2017/ Fri, 21 July 2017

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-guru-purnima-july-2017/ Empty your Bucket… If you have a bucket of water, which is completely full, how can you fill more water in it? It is impossible, is it not? The only way to fill more water would be to first empty the bucket completely. In the same way, in life, when we want to learn anything then first we need to realize that, ‘I do not know anything.’ Once we accept that we do not know anything ie: empty our bucket, only then can it be filled with new knowledge. If we keep the belief within us that, ‘I know everything’ ie: keep the bucket full, then we will not be able to learn anything new. Anyone who teaches us something in life becomes our guru. When we make someone our guru, we do so with the intention that we want to learn something from them. By holding on to the belief that, ‘I do not know anything,’ we will be able to easily grasp what our guru is teaching us. If we hold on to the belief, that, ‘I know,’ then we will not only learn anything; we will not be able to come out of our faults. If we just open up our mind, then our guru can show us our faults. Thus enabling us to come out of our faults and better ourselves.  This quality of being humble in life does not only help you learn, but it can actually help you progress on your path to permanent liberation. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-guru-purnima-july-2017/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-guru-purnima-july-2017/ Sat, 08 July 2017

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-gnan-day-pujya-niruma-july-2017/ Pujya Niruma is the embodiment of infinite love, and an icon of complete surrender. She met Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan on June 29th, 1968 and upon seeing Him her first thought was, 'How wonderful would it be if I could serve Param Pujya Dadashri until my final breath!' At this first meeting, in her heart, she completely surrendered herself to the Gnani. From then onwards Param Pujya Dadashri began molding her. During the 20 years while Pujya Niruma stayed in Param Pujya Dadashri’s service, He molded her step-by-step in various ways removing the impurities within her. While she was being molded, Pujya Niruma remained sincere and in total surrender to the Gnani Purush at all times. Such was Pujya Niruma’s surrender, that if Param Pujya Dadashri pointed out her mistake, she never repeated it again. As a result of which, she received tremendous blessings of the Gnani and became an unmatched instrument of the salvation of the world. Param Pujya Dadashri says, “How much is your sincerity, that much will be ‘Our’ divine grace (krupa). This is the measure of grace.” If we want to receive the grace of the Gnani, we should remain sincere in all aspects of our life. This will enable us to achieve anything in life. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-gnan-day-pujya-niruma-july-2017/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-gnan-day-pujya-niruma-july-2017/ Sat, 08 July 2017

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/forgiveness-day-july-2017/ Just like the smile, forgiveness is also part of a universal language. Everyone no matter which race, culture or country they belong to, understand it. It is when you forgive or are forgiven that your Soul begins to heal. It is with forgiveness that the load of suffering starts to disappear. However, how should one ask for forgiveness? Param Pujya Dadashri has shown us a way to ask for forgiveness without even needing to say a word to the other person. He explains that we should see the God within the person we have hurt and heartily ask for forgiveness internally for what we have done to hurt them. So for example, if we hurt someone with our speech then we would say, ‘O Lord within [opposite person’s name].  I have spoken in a harsh manner and that is a fault of mine. I am repenting for this mistake. I am asking for your forgiveness. I am resolving not to repeat this mistake. Please give me the strength not to repeat the mistake again.' If we are able to ask for forgiveness for our mistakes, repent for them and then make a vow never to repeat them again, then the other person will get positive vibrations. This will help us resolve all our conflicts. Over time and with the asking of forgiveness the burden on the relationship will lessen and it will improve. Numerous people have used this technique and have experienced a change in their lives you can too… https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/forgiveness-day-july-2017/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/forgiveness-day-july-2017/ Wed, 05 July 2017

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mothers-day-may-2017/ Mother’s Day is… A special day to honor our mother for the most important role that she plays in our lives. A mother is a mirror in which a child sees itself. A mother is the very first person with whom the child recognizes itself. Hence, the credit for all that we are today, goes to her…always… However, times are not always rosy. We do have our share of disagreements, conflicts, complaints, dissatisfaction etc. with her. These days we see both parents and children complaining that they do not understand each other.  All these differences arise because of different viewpoints. In order to maintain a loving and healthy relation at home, it is important to understand our parents’ viewpoint. Even if our mother belongs to an older generation, it does not make us any wiser than her. She brings with her the rich experiences of all her years. Param Pujya Dadashri says, “One is not to win the world, he has to win the home (family)’. Our home can become a ‘Happy Home’ only if it is free from conflicts. The best gift that we can give to our mother on this Mother’s Day is the promise to respect her perspective and thus, avoid all conflicts with her.   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mothers-day-may-2017/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mothers-day-may-2017/ Fri, 12 May 2017

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-birthday-pujya-deepakbhai-may-2017/ It is the 9th of May, and our Pujya Deepakbhai’s Birthday! Every year we read and learn about a quality Pujya Deepakbhai possesses and try to encompass it into our lives. This year we will learn about how he conducted his business. Generally, you find every other man doing business and earning his livelihood. So what was unique about the way Pujya Deepakbhai conducted his business? Pujya Deepakbhai conducted his business with honesty, sincerity and utmost purity. These are the very qualities that made him well known in his field, and enabled him to reach the top of his field. After meeting Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, Pujya Deepakbhai continued his studies and attained a degree in Mechanical Engineering. He started with a small job and later started his own independent business as a Consulting Engineer. Armed with a deep knowledge of textile machinery he utilized his expertise and intuitive skills to help many famous textile mills in India to function better - in a cost effective and efficient manner. He believed in quality over any other monetary benefits and this made him different than the rest. Now let us see what Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan has to say regarding Business Ethics: “If someone were to ask what religion he should practice in his business, I would tell him that he should follow these three principles: 1) Ethical practice! The flow of money may increase or decrease. Never become unethical. 2) Maintain an obliging nature. If you do not have any money, at least ask people if you can be of any help to them. You can run errands for them instead. This is called an obliging nature. 3) Do not even harbor a desire of expecting something in return for what you do for others. The whole world has expectations in return for services they render; whether you wish it or not, you will be rewarded. There is always a reaction to any action. Your desires are nothing but actually begging on your part. They go to waste.” Now, that we have learnt about how important it is to be ethical in business, let us carve out our path towards spiritual progress, while conducting our business ethically and strive to become like Pujya Deepakbhai. Happy Birthday Pujya Deepakbhai, your presence has changed many people's lives and it is just the beginning. May your next birth be at the lotus feet of Shree Simandhar Swami and may you attain ultimate liberation. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-birthday-pujya-deepakbhai-may-2017/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-birthday-pujya-deepakbhai-may-2017/ Sun, 07 May 2017

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/shri-simandhar-swami-janma-kalyanak-apr-2017/ How often have the stories of Lord Krishna, Lord Rama or Lord Mahavir left us feeling mesmerized and taken us by awe at the thought of a living God on our Earth! Do you know that we do hold a chance still…Lord Simandhar Swami is a living Tirthankara, who is present in bodily form in Mahavideh Kshetra, another world within our Universe. In addition, it is possible to establish a connection with the Lord through the technique given to us by Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan. All the tirthankaras are Vitaraag Lords (free from all attachment and abhorrence). The flawless vision of these divine beings leads them to attain the state of a vitaraag. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says that, “One binds karma by seeing faults in others and becomes free from his karma by seeing his own faults.” Due to ignorance of Soul, one leads to see faults in others. Through the Self Realization, one attains the flawless vision to see everyone as Pure Soul. The moment one starts seeing his own faults and regards the world as flawless, his journey towards spiritual enlightenment begins. On the occasion of Lord Simandhar Swami’s Janma Kalyanak (birth anniversary), let us all ask for strength to attain flawless vision towards all and experience everlasting happiness. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/shri-simandhar-swami-janma-kalyanak-apr-2017/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/shri-simandhar-swami-janma-kalyanak-apr-2017/ Wed, 19 April 2017

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mahavir-jayanti-april-2017/  ‘Mahavir’ stands for- maha- great; vir- hero, which means ‘the Mighty One’. Lord Mahavir was the 24th Tirthankar (The Absolutely Enlightened Lord who can liberate others) of this time cycle, who lived around 2500 years ago. His name does not relate to His physical strength, but it symbolizes His victory over inner enemies like anger-deceit-pride-greed-attachment-abhorrence. The Pure Soul within is truly Lord Mahavir. Anyone who attains Self Realization, and realizes his ‘true’ self can overcome his inner enemies and eventually become like Lord Mahavir. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says that, “If one realizes his own Self, then he himself is an Absolute Supreme Soul.” Our life is the result of our past life karmas, which have to be resolved with equanimity. Lord Mahavir spent His entire life based on this understanding that all the circumstances before Him were based on the unfolding of His own karmas. Thus, as a result of Self Realization, He regarded the people who pierced nails into his ears, as being without fault. Let us join our hands and remember Lord Mahavir and ask for strength that, May we also attain the knowledge of the Self like Him and experience our ‘true’ nature of ‘eternal bliss’. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mahavir-jayanti-april-2017/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mahavir-jayanti-april-2017/ Fri, 07 April 2017

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-ram-navami-april-2017/ Ram Navami is a celebration, which gives us the opportunity to show our devotion and reverence for Lord Rama. To a devotee, Lord Rama is not simply a great person, but God Himself. Param Pujya Dadashri states, “What is absolute humility (param vinaya)? It is on the one who has not disrespected anyone in the slightest! Absolute humility lies where there is no dispute, no difference of opinion or any law. Law is bondage.” Similar was the character of Lord Rama. He was a man of great principles. Not only did Lord Ram have to face countless tests and obstacles during His life, He also accepted a 14-year long exile in order to save His father’s honour. Remaining true and sincere to His word He chose to stay in exile for 14 years even after His brother King Bharat came to free Him from His exile and make Him King. Doubts such as, ‘Why?’, ‘What about me?’, "What difficulties will I come across during my exile?" or "How will I manage without the pleasures of the palace life?” never crossed Lord Ram’s mind. He did not let anything count more than His sincerity towards His parents, even during the time when he had the chance to walk away from exile. He was a living example of sincerity and His example is something that generations to come, can learn from. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-ram-navami-april-2017/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-ram-navami-april-2017/ Sat, 01 April 2017

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-nirumas-punyatithi-march-2017/ “Live with Love….Promise?” These are not just any ordinary words, but this is the final message given to the world by Pujya Niruma. Though Pujya Niruma left her mortal body on March 19, 2006, she continues to live in the hearts of millions of people who have been touched by her in some way or another. One can easily associate several adjectives like ‘Embodiment of Love’, ‘The Mother of the World’, ‘Icon of Humility’ etc to Pujya Niruma. In addition to all of these, she is also a living example of the quality of ‘nobility’. Nobility means to be big-hearted; it means to be able to give something of yours to others if they like it and if it makes them happy. Pujya Niruma always lived by Param Pujya Dadashri’s principle that a living being is more valuable than any material object. Hence, it is important not to hurt them or make them unhappy in anyway. Pujya Niruma adhered to this principle throughout her life and no matter how big the object, she never hesitated to give it away to people to make them happy. Truly fortunate are those who have been blessed by her in this manner! A heartfelt salute to the Divine Mother who continues to inspire millions of people across the world! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-nirumas-punyatithi-march-2017/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-nirumas-punyatithi-march-2017/ Fri, 17 March 2017

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-holi/ It’s that time of the year again to play with colors and spread joy and celebrate the festival of ‘Holi’. As per the ancient legend, Holi marks the victory of ‘good’ over ‘evil’. With time, even though the celebration styles have changed the essence remains the same. The huge bonfire that is lit on the Holi eve is a symbol of triumph over all the impurities and negativities in life. Once these impurities are burnt, what remains is the magnificent pure form of Oneself, which is the ‘Pure Soul’. Consider this, while driving, if there is fog and mist on the way, can you see clearly what lies ahead of you? No! However, the vision becomes clear as soon the skies have cleared. Similarly, once we get rid of the impurities of anger, pride, greed, deceit, ego and falsehood we are able to experience the eternal bliss of one’s real Self. One’s faults can only be burned by the grace of someone who Himself has become free of all these impurities. And what remains in the end? It is the eternal and unmatched bliss of one’s Real Self. So what are you waiting for? Get ready to celebrate Holi by winning over the negativities in life!   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-holi/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-holi/ Fri, 10 March 2017

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-gnan-day-pujya-deepakbhai-march-2017/ It is that time of the year when we celebrate the Gnan Day (Self Realization anniversary) of our beloved Pujya Deepakbhai. The day one attains the Real Knowledge of the true Self, the Knowledge which cannot be changed or taken away under any circumstances is known as a Gnan Day. Pujya Deepakbhai attained Self Realization from Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan on March 6, 1971 at the age of 17. With this began his spiritual journey with Pujya Niruma, who guided him every step of the way. He never let any ego arise in the process of learning Param Pujya Dadashri’s science of Akram Vignan or while doing seva in Param Pujya Dadashri’s mission of the salvation of the world. Param Pujya Dadashri says, “Laghuttam (humble) ego means to conduct interactions of worldly life with the intent, ‘I am smaller than everyone.’ That will take him towards liberation.” We can observe this humblest of intent in Pujya Deepakbhai’s every worldly interaction even today. Let us all pray to Shree Simandhar Swami to bless Pujyashree to carry forward the baton of jagat kalyan (salvation of the world). https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-gnan-day-pujya-deepakbhai-march-2017/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-gnan-day-pujya-deepakbhai-march-2017/ Fri, 03 March 2017

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/vadodara-trimandir-sanctification-ceremony-february-2017/ Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan spent 50 years of His life in Vadodara, Gujarat (India). From the 24th to 26th of February, a grand celebration was organized for the opening of a Non-Sectarian Temple, Trimandir on the sacred land. Pujya Deepakbhai in the presence of thousands of followers and non-followers alike performed the Sanctification ceremony of the idols in the Trimandir. The entire event was webcasted live which enabled thousands of followers to join in the celebrations from all over the world. The Trimandir emanated divine energies throughout the entire event and the subtle presence and blessings of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, Pujya Niruma and all the Gods and Goddesses could be felt throughout.     Idols of Lord Simandhar Swami, Lord Krishna and Lord Shiva, the three major religions in India, as well as idols of other Gods and Goddesses (including Lord Ganesh, Lord Hanuman, Shri Saibaba, Lord Mahavir, Amba Mataji, Padmavati Devi, Chakreshvari Mataji and Mahakali Mataji – just to name a few) are housed under the roof of the Trimandir. The Sanctification ceremony of the Gods and Goddesses took place on the morning of the 24th and 25th. A spiritual discourse with Pujya Deepakbhai took place in the afternoon on the 24th, while a Self Realization ceremony was organized on the evening of the 25th. 3200 new people took part in the ceremony. Idols of Lord Simandhar Swami, Lord Krishna and Lord Shiva were sanctified on the morning of the 26th. Later in the afternoon there was puja and aarti of the idols. Approximately ten thousand people visited the temple during the entire day. The Trimandir has been built with the intention that the living Lord Simandhar Swami’s presence spread throughout the entire world, thus providing permanent peace and happiness to all.  This will open up the path for spiritual progress to all visitors so that they too can benefit and attain liberation. At night, everyone sang devotional songs to celebrate the joyous occasion in the presence of Pujya Deepakbhai. There was also a short 15 minute show that played throughout the entire event, which was open to all. It highlighted the significance of a Non-Sectarian Trimandir. On the morning of the 27th, Pujya Deepakbhai officially opened the Trimandir for darshan by performing the Dwar (door) opening Ceremony, followed by puja and aarti of all the Lords. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/vadodara-trimandir-sanctification-ceremony-february-2017/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/vadodara-trimandir-sanctification-ceremony-february-2017/ Fri, 03 March 2017 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-vadodara-gujarat-feb-2017/ In Vadodara, Gujarat 3200 new people took Gnan Vidhi (Self-Realization ceremony) on 25th Feb, 2017. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-vadodara-gujarat-feb-2017/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-vadodara-gujarat-feb-2017/ Mon, 27 February 2017

Lord Shiva is depicted as the form of anger and destruction. From this, we can conclude that anger brings about destruction both internally and externally. Anger is not itself energy, but it uses your energy thus making you weak. It is like a burning piece of coal, the more you hold on to it the more you burn. So anger is a weakness but overcoming it, is a strength. Maha Shivratri is an opportunity and a possibility to bring yourself to experience ultimate peace, which has been shaken because of the bruises of anger. This Maha Shivratri, you can bury your anger, by analysing the causes of it, thereby increasing your inner peace, which is the need of an hour.   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-maha-shivaratri-feb-2017/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-maha-shivaratri-feb-2017/ Wed, 22 February 2017

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-valentine-day-feb-2017/ When we think of Valentine’s Day, we often think of red roses, chocolates and candies, but beyond the roses, chocolates and gifts, you will find the real meaning of Valentine’s Day. The meaning is ‘Pure Love’. To experience this bliss of Pure Love, we need to fit into our lives the concept of ‘Adjust Everywhere’. We can merely find love if we just change our state of mind. This state of mind allows you to master the art of Adjusting Everywhere. As we know, to keep a watch working the inner mechanisms have to adjust with each other to play their part. Similarly, to experience love in this world, we need to take daily adjustments. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan states: Adjust with the very person who fails to adjust with you. Even between a husband and wife, if one keeps on tearing the relationship, the other must mend. This is the only way a relationship can be sustained with love. People will consider you crazy if you do not know how to adjust and get along. This Valentine’s day, let us take a step towards happiness by incorporating the phrase 'Adjust Everywhere' into our lives. Happy Valentine's Day! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-valentine-day-feb-2017/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-valentine-day-feb-2017/ Mon, 13 February 2017

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-republic-day-jan-2017/ On Republic Day, we come together to celebrate and express patriotism for our nation. Our nation is running in a systematic manner because the constitution was formed on this day, for that purpose. Similarly, to run our life smoothly we should also incorporate practically applicable principles. Param Pujya Dadashri spent His life maintaining honesty and purity in every interaction. He said, “For purity in worldly interaction, if you interact with others without hurting anyone, then that is considered purity of worldly interactions. Do not hurt anyone, even in the slightest, and if anyone hurts you, suffer it, but under no circumstances should you hurt anyone.” By applying this principle in our life we can gradually become pure and this purity will bring about favorable external circumstances into our life. So let us enrich our lives with purity so that we can create a better future for the coming generations.

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-makar-sankranti-jan-2017/ When you hear the word uttarayan, kites fly in your mind and you imagine the amount of fun you will have. Even when there is no wind, you keep trying to make your kite fly. You derive more happiness from cutting someone else’s kite, than from just flying your own kite. You also keep a back-up kite ready to fly, for the time when your kite is cut.  In the same way, when someone cuts your mistake with criticism, you should be ready to hold on and fly with the string of positivity. If you take the criticism positively and improve on your mistakes or points of criticism, it will not only make you fly higher in life, but also allow you to achieve higher goals. Param Pujya Dadashri says, “You have to see just one thing the “positive”. The world is on the path of the positive and the negative. Sooner or later, it will make the negative into positive. So why not make it positive right from the start?” Apply this key of positive thinking in your life and see the difference. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-makar-sankranti-jan-2017/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-makar-sankranti-jan-2017/ Thu, 12 January 2017

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dada-bhagwan-s-punyatithi-dec-2016/ Even today we feel His Infinite extraordinary divine exuberance! Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan was a Gnani Purush, who lived in the current time cycle and graced thousands of people with the knowledge of the Self. He left His mortal body on January 2, 1988. Hence this day is celebrated as Param Pujya Dadashri’s punyatithi (death anniversary). He always said that, "I do not live in sansar (worldly life) at all, not even for a moment. I remain in the Self. I live constantly in the state of the Self (moksha), constantly maintaining spiritual awareness." And, the same spiritual awareness was present within Him even at the time of His death. This is known as ‘samadhi maran’ or a blissful death. Even though there might be physical suffering, the Self doesn’t experience any of it. He says that, there is absolutely no suffering during a samadhi maran, neither to the person nor to those around him. Such a state is possible and easy to attain for those who have taken Gnan (knowledge of the Self). Even though Param Pujya Dadashri has left His mortal body, He is still living amongst us in subtle form bestowing His blessings and energy to help us remain in our Absolute Self and progress ahead onto the path of liberation. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dada-bhagwan-s-punyatithi-dec-2016/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dada-bhagwan-s-punyatithi-dec-2016/ Sat, 31 December 2016

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/merry-christmas-dec-2016/ On account of the birth anniversary of Jesus Christ, we celebrate Christmas. He was a magnificent personality, for He lived for the world. He left behind Him the message of love. Today, we pray to His Pure Soul, to help us all and spread His message all over the world just like He did. We can see His dream taking shape into reality, as millions of people are spreading love, peace and happiness in every little way they can. We have also learnt this from Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, who tells us to greet everything that comes before us with love and not to hold grudges within. He has given us a magical eraser ‘Pratikraman’ to wash off the grudges we hold within us. Thereafter we experience immense peace. With the use of this key even you can experience peace on earth. So let’s reunite with the people with whom we have clashes and resentment, by embracing them this Christmas by forgiving and forgetting all our grudges. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/merry-christmas-dec-2016/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/merry-christmas-dec-2016/ Fri, 23 December 2016

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-nirumas-birthday-dec-2016/ 2nd December marks Pujya Niruma’s 72nd birthday. She was a doctor by profession, a mother by nature, and a leader by virtues. Dr. Niruben Amin, fondly known as Pujya Niruma, met Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan in the year 1968, in Gujarat. That was the first time She came across the word ‘Soul’. Pujya Niruma was not by birth, a spiritual person, but She sure had a generous heart. Her purpose in life was to help others and that is why She became a doctor. Meeting Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan was a major turning point for Pujya Niruma. We now realize, that it was not Her fortune, but ours, that She engrained Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s teachings into Herself so deeply. It is through Her, we found our true calling. After attaining Self Realization from Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, Pujya Niruma selflessly served Him, until He left His mortal body. Thereafter, Pujya Niruma continued to strive to fulfil Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s ardent desire to see the salvation of the world. She helped countless people realize their Pure Soul, enabling them to live peaceful lives. It was Her wish that the whole world attain the kind of peace that She attained from Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan. She understood the problems that everyone faces and provided the encouragement to overcome them with right understanding. Whether it was a spiritual or worldly problem, She had a practical solution for everything. She influenced more than She directed, inspired more than She instructed and loved more than She showed. Today, although She has left to carry out the pending work of Jagat Kalyan, Her presence is still felt. Let’s remember, Her last message, “Premthi Rahejo, Promise? (Live With Love, Promise?)” and let’s keep our word to keep our promise. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-nirumas-birthday-dec-2016/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-nirumas-birthday-dec-2016/ Tue, 29 November 2016

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-children-s-day-nov-2016/ What do you see when you look at yourself in a mirror? A gruesome, worn-out adult or someone filled with exuberance and innocence of a child? In reality, we’re all still a child from inside but we keep putting on layers of etiquettes, hypocrisy, hassle, worries etc. as we grow up. Didn’t we all fancy growing up as a child? But has that sheen remained unadulterated even now? If your answer is ‘No’, do not worry, there’s a chance to become childlike once again. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says- A child does things without any understanding. Doesn’t the worldly life continue for a child even though he has no worldly understanding? The child’s life runs very well. In fact, his worldly life gets worse as he begins to understand. Along with growing up in age, our ego also starts becoming bigger and bigger. That ego says, I don’t want to be straight and I want to do things in my own way. Unfortunately, this becomes the reason for forming the layers over our childlike self. It all begins with the wrong understanding of, ‘I am Peter’ or ‘I am Daisy’ which gradually keeps expanding to include things like, ‘I am a father’, ‘I am a doctor’, ‘I am a daughter’ etc. On this Children’s Day, let us all take the first step to remove the veils of ignorance of being someone that you aren’t and know our true Self once again. Happy Children’s Day to all!   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-children-s-day-nov-2016/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-children-s-day-nov-2016/ Mon, 14 November 2016

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dadabhagwans-janma-jayanti-nov-2016/ Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s Janma Jayanti falls on the 14th day of the full moon of kartik as per the Hindu calendar. He was born to mother Zaverben and father Muljibhai Patel on 7th November according to the Georgian calendar, in Tarsali village (Vadodara). He was named as Ambalal also known as A. M. Patel. At the age of 50, that is in June 1958, Akram Vignan naturally manifested within Him on Surat railway station. Thereupon His Soul became awakened, breaking all bondages of anger, pride, greed, and lust. Param Pujya Dadashri used to say, “I'm not Dada Bhagwan, I am A.M. Patel, the one who is awakened within me is Dada Bhagwan.” This day is considered as one of the auspicious days, as on His Janma Jayanti, we do darshan of Dada Bhagwan who is fully manifested within Him. Mahatmas seek blessings of Dada Bhagwan on this day and ask for strength to overcome all the obstacles and attain ultimate liberation. We often pray to the Lord on our birthdays, but we're fortunate enough that we get to celebrate the Lord's birthday in addition to be blessed with immense glory. Today, in the presence of Pujya Deepakbhai, we celebrate Param Pujya Dadashri's Janma Jayanti in various cities every year by organizing spiritual gatherings. Let’s start the Jamna Jayanti countdown, come let us all celebrate Dada Bhagwan's Birthday once again and receive the Lord’s divine blessings.   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dadabhagwans-janma-jayanti-nov-2016/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dadabhagwans-janma-jayanti-nov-2016/ Tue, 08 November 2016

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/diwali-oct2016/ Diwali is the most awaited and brightest festival. It brings lots of happiness, delicious sweets, family gatherings, lamps and lights, colourful rangolis and of course sparkling and loud fire crackers. On this occasion people worship Goddess Laxmiji and seek Her blessings for prosperity. Thereafter the celebrations begin, as do the lighting of fireworks. While playing with varieties of crackers, children as well as adults are careful not to burn themselves or people around them. Their intention is to enjoy the festival, but in a safe way. In the same way, life is like lighting fire crackers. When you interact with different personalities, there may be a spark of conflict. It is your job to avoid the conflict so that you do not get burnt (hurt) and yet you enjoy the colours of life. Param Pujya Dadashri says, “If someone tries to clash with you but you do not clash with them, then common sense will arise.” Conflicts are like crackers, they burn everything around them, including you, if you do not handle with care! Happy Diwali and have a Conflict-Free Year! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/diwali-oct2016/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/diwali-oct2016/ Thu, 27 October 2016

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-navratri-sep-2016/ In the Navratri festival, the nights are filled with glee and countless colors as everyone prepares to worship Mataji. Mataji is the Goddess of prakrut energy (adhyashakti). As we are unaware of this energy existing within us, we worship her. During this festive occasion one of the ways we show our devotion to Mataji is by doing her Aarti. But do you know the significance of doing Mataji aarti? When we perform her aarti, we are performing an indirect devotional activity (bhakti) towards her. This makes Mataji happy and she showers her blessings on us, thereby developing our prakrut energy. This makes our life peaceful, helps us progress spiritually and relieves our life from worldly obstacles. Happy Navratri!   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-navratri-sep-2016/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-navratri-sep-2016/ Thu, 29 September 2016

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/samvatsari-september-2016/ Sometimes when we argue with someone, we feel that we will never be able to have the same relation with them, and that the relation will never improve. Countless questions transpire in our minds and we are left to bear the negative effect they have upon us. But this is not true, in reality, every relation no matter how bad, can return to normal again with the application of a divine key. That key is pratikraman (asking for forgiveness)! By using this key one can erase every mistake in life. Our life is full of interactions with countless people and sometimes we interfere in each other’s lives and knowingly or unknowingly, someone gets hurt. To remove the ill feelings, the concept of asking for forgiveness on the holy day of Samvatsari has been brought in. Samvatsari is the last day of Paryushan Parva, when everyone repents for the mistakes they made throughout the year. Pratikraman is when we ask for forgiveness from the Pure Soul residing within each and every living being, whom we have hurt and resolve never to repeat our mistake again.   By using this divine key of pratikraman we can get rid of hatred. We are bound to make mistakes in our life, but we shouldn’t stop there. To escape them; we should incorporate the concept of pratikraman into our lives and create a positive atmosphere for everyone around us! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/samvatsari-september-2016/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/samvatsari-september-2016/ Sat, 03 September 2016

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-janmashtami-august-2016/ Janmashtami is the auspicious celebration of the birth of Lord Krishna. Lord Krishna is a symbol of righteousness. In a time when evil prevailed over mankind, He took up the responsibility of saving people from the cruelty of others. Lord Krishna rose against external enemies, but in this day and age, more than external enemies the internal enemies within us i.e.: anger, pride, deceit and greed; have taken over our lives. How can we fight this war that rages within us? How can we experience peace in every situation in our life? Lord Krishna gave Arjun, the knowledge of the Self, on the Mahabharata battlefield, which enabled Arjun to fight the war without charging a single karma. And by attaining this same knowledge through the grace of a Gnani Purush (the Enlightened One) in a Gnan Vidhi Ceremony, we will obtain the answer to the question ‘Who am I?’ and ‘Who is the doer?’ With this knowledge we will be able to solve all the problems in our life. We will experience peace no matter what happens because we will have a tool that empowers us against our inner enemies. This Janmasthami, let us bring an end to the evil that takes shelter within us in the darkness of ignorance! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-janmashtami-august-2016/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-janmashtami-august-2016/ Tue, 23 August 2016

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-rakshabandhan-august-2016/ Rakshabandhan is the auspiciuous occasion where a sister ties a rakhi (thread tied round the wrist) to her brother. The tying of the rakhi symbolizes that she accepts his protection against all evil, for the rest of her life. But what if everyone could receive permanent protection, not only for this life, but until they attain permanent liberation? By tying a rakhi to the current living Tirthankar, Lord Simandhar Swami, we surrender our life to Him and thus accept His unflinching protection until we attain permanent liberation. By tying a rakhi to the Lord we create a sacred bond between us, asking for His protection and securing our next birth under His observance and shelter. Who better to ask for, for permanent protection than the Lord Himself, He is the guarantor. By asking for His divine protection and tying His wrist with our ultimate faith, we can attain liberation and peace. This means that we will become free from the cycle of birth and death, and attain ultimate liberation (moksha)! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-rakshabandhan-august-2016/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-rakshabandhan-august-2016/ Tue, 16 August 2016

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-independence-day-august-2016/ Independence Day is one of the most significant national festivals of India, for it was on that day, 70 years ago, that India became an independent republic. On this day, every year, the entire country salutes the sacrifices and struggles made by countless freedom campaigners who sacrificed their lives, so that millions of Indians could lead better, freer lives in the future. What is worth noting is that they had a broad vision, where they saw a brighter future for India, even though they knew they might have to sacrifice their own lives. This was all so that we could live the life that they had envisioned for us. They had a purposeful life, didn’t they? Why don’t we live a purposeful life and extend the vision of our forefathers to include the whole world? So let us also live a purposeful life and become the freedom campaigners to free our Self from all the worldly ties and surge ahead on the path of Liberation! By following Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s highest statement, which says that, “Life is meant for practicing benevolence and serving others.” Making this the aim of life and praying to Dadashri to bring salvation to the world, where every living being attains knowledge of the Self. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-independence-day-august-2016/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-independence-day-august-2016/ Sat, 13 August 2016

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-friendship-day-august-2016/ It’s Friendships Day! So it’s time to celebrate and strengthen the bond of friendship. Wikipedia defines friendship as – A relationship of mutual affection between two or more people. Taking it one step further, Buddhism talks about the concept of ‘Universal Friendship,’ which means friendship towards all sentient beings, with no exception. But is it really possible to develop such a relationship with everyone? A true friend is someone whom we cannot do without. It is called friendship when both friends support each other by fulfilling each other’s needs. Even if there’s a mistake on our part, there should be no change in the friendship. Here are some master keys Param Pujya Dadashri has given us, that can help us sustain and strengthen the unique bond of friendship: Unconditional Love A friendship can only survive if it is free from any terms and conditions. Pujya Dadashri says that, ‘True love is a steady inner feeling that does not rise or fall as per the other person’s actions or situations.’ Stop watching faults No matter how old a friendship might be, it isn’t always free from fault finding and blame games. Problems start arising in any relationship due to the inability to understand and accept the other person as they are! As a solution to this shortcoming, Pujya Dada Bhagwan says that, ‘One should not see or notice anyone’s mistakes.’ Forgiveness What holds one back from rebuilding and reviving broken relationships? The inability to forgive and forget! Pujya Dadashri has hit the bull’s eye with the scientific key of Pratikraman. Pratikraman refers to asking for forgiveness from the person whom you’ve wronged. What makes this tool unique? You need not physically ask for forgiveness from that person, instead you can ask for their forgiveness in your mind, in their absence. It will still give you profound results. Doesn’t all this sound amazing? By simply practicing these simple keys in our lives, we will not only strengthen our relationship with our friends, but it’ll also go a long way in making all our relations more joyful and constructive. Kudos to all the friends and their friendship! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-friendship-day-august-2016/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-friendship-day-august-2016/ Fri, 05 August 2016

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-parent-s-day-july-2016/ We spend the majority of our life with our parents and they are always there for us. But a time comes in everyone’s life when they feel that their parents do not understand them. In reality, our responsibility is to fulfil our obligations towards our parents, instead we expect so much from them. These very expectations hurt us when they go unfulfilled and this leads to arguments. Our parents may not express their feeling to us, but this behavior hurts them deep down, making them distressed. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “A person who neglects his parents will not be happy in this life.” Keeping this in mind let us start our relationship with our parents anew this parent’s day. Let us serve our parents heartily because “One cannot see God, but at least one can see his parents.” https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-parent-s-day-july-2016/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-parent-s-day-july-2016/ Fri, 22 July 2016

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-guru-purnima-july-2016/ Guru Purnima is celebrated as a festival dedicated to Guru, who act as a guide to their disciples and show the path towards the salvation. There are two types of guru, one who guides in worldly life and another who guides on spiritual path. Both are essentially important in one's progress. Param Pujya Dadabhagwan says, ‘Guru is the one whose very sight makes our heads bow.’ Just upon seeing him, our head will bow. That is the definition of a guru. That is why if one is a guru, then he must be such that he dissolves all egos. Then you can attain liberation, but not otherwise. On this day, Param Pujya Dadabhagwan says that he is completely detached from worldly affairs and becomes one with the ‘Dada Bhagwan’ (Enlightened Soul) that has been manifested within him. Hence, one can ask for infinite strength and immense blessings for their spiritual progress on this day. Guru Purnima is thus a day, to take blessings from guru, to get the right understanding to have complete awareness just like he has and become one with the pure Soul. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-guru-purnima-july-2016/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-guru-purnima-july-2016/ Mon, 18 July 2016

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-gnan-day-pujya-niruma-july-2016/ Pujya Niruma was a symbol of resoluteness. Of Pujya Niruma’s many virtues let us learn more about Her virtues of fearlessness and determination. Pujya Niruma’s fearlessness and determination were not a result of ego or pride, but a result of Her understanding and application of the knowledge of the Self.  Before She obtained the knowledge of the Self from Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, She was studying for Her MBBS. Her aim was to help people and treat their physical suffering. However, after She attained the knowledge of the Self, She experienced that with this knowledge no worldly suffering could touch Her. Thereafter, She decided that She wanted to help Param Pujya Dadashri in His mission for the salvation of the world and free the world from their worries and inner suffering. Her devotion to Her aim, Her commitment, determination and fearlessness bore fruit. She helped thousands of people realized their true Self and they are now in the constant experience of the divine bliss of the Pure Soul. Due to Pujya Niruma’s resoluteness and determination, She was able to achieve Her sole aim of the salvation of the world, by spreading Pujya Dadashri’s knowledge of the Self. Let us revere these virtues of Pujya Niruma and also realize our true Self, which shall help us to become like Her and help us achieve our goal of liberation.   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-gnan-day-pujya-niruma-july-2016/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-gnan-day-pujya-niruma-july-2016/ Wed, 06 July 2016

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-birthday-pujya-deepakbhai-april-2016/ Pujya Deepakbhai was born on 9th May 1953. He received the Knowledge of the Self from Param Pujya Dadashri at the age of 17. On the auspicious day of Pujya Deepakbhai’s birthday, let us understand more about one of His numerous virtues, sincerity! Can you imagine doing a task assigned to you, for more than 4 months, with the same devotion and sincerity, without complaining or getting bored even once? No right? But Pujya Deepakbhai has been able to! He obtained the opportunity to write Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s speech from Pujya Niruma shortly after receiving Self-Realization. For more than 40 years now, He has continued this task with an unwavering sincerity and devotion! Should we not learn from Him? According to Pujya Dadashri, this virtue of sincerity is the main road to reach God, which ultimately leads one towards salvation. And Pujya Deepakbhai, is a living example of someone who has reached the epitome of sincerity, who has shown us how one can become successful in any endeavor, by remaining sincere to our goal. Let us pray that Pujya Deepakbhai has a long healthy happy life filled with the everlasting experience of the Soul, that He continues to be a great instrument in the salvation of the world, that His next birth is at the lotus feet of Shree Simandhar Swami and that He attains moksha (ultimate liberation).   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-birthday-pujya-deepakbhai-april-2016/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-birthday-pujya-deepakbhai-april-2016/ Sun, 08 May 2016

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mothers-day-may-2016/ Mother’s Day is not only a celebration which honors mothers, but it is also a celebration of motherhood. One day is not enough to celebrate the significance of mothers in our lives, who do so much for us day in, day out, but on this day we get the opportunity to show our love and appreciation for our mothers. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan has said that, if love is to be found anywhere in this world, it is within a mother! Have you wondered why a mother’s love is considered the highest in the world? It is because of the sacrifice and the selflessness in that love. Because of this love, every child feels an intense oneness with their mother. Wouldn’t it be great if everyone in this world felt that same oneness with each other? How? By making a promise to ourselves and following in the footsteps of our mother and we too can become selfless and in turn create a oneness with the world! On this very special day, let us all honor our mothers, by learning something from them. Just like our mothers put our happiness before their own, we can also strive to do the same with others. This way we will create oneness within this world.    https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mothers-day-may-2016/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mothers-day-may-2016/ Fri, 06 May 2016

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/shree-simandhar-swamis-janma-kalyanak-april-2016/ This auspicious day marks the birth of Shree Simandhar Swami, who is the current living Tirthankar (Fully Enlightened Being), who can free us from worldly bondages! How blessed we are to have been introduced to this Vitarag Lord by Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan! So let us understand the importance of a living Tirthankar using an example. What if you wanted to buy something but had no money in your wallet? Would you be able to buy it on the basis of your past spending or your future earnings? No, right? Only cash on hand is useful at that time. In the same way, bhakti of the past and the future Tirthankar Lords is going to earn us merit karmas; but only the present living Tirthankar can help us attain ultimate Liberation! By praying to Shree Simandhar Swami, He can guide us on the path of permanent spiritual bliss. Our devotion towards Him can lead us to Him in our next life and in His presence; we too can attain final liberation! So on this very auspicious day, let us realize the importance of the present Tirthankar, Shree Simandhar Swami and strengthen our resolutions to achieve our ultimate goal of liberation!    https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/shree-simandhar-swamis-janma-kalyanak-april-2016/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/shree-simandhar-swamis-janma-kalyanak-april-2016/ Sat, 30 April 2016

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mahavir-jayanti-april-2016/ Mahavir Jayanti is the celebration of Lord Mahavir’s Birthday. Lord Maharvir was the 24th Tirthankar (Fully Enlightened Being) of the current time cycle. On this auspicious occasion let’s look at the definition of one of His Mahavrats – Ahimsa. Ahimsa is the practice of non-violence towards all living beings through the mind, speech and body. When one practices ahimsa a feeling of oneness is established with all living beings. One abides by the principle of "Live and let Live". Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says that, “Whoever desires to do so, can do it. If the goal of ahimsa is not attained in one lifetime, it will be attained in two or three life times. If your goal and decision is firm and you maintain ahimsa in your awareness, then absolute ahimsa is inevitable.” He explains that, “The definition of ahimsa is: to maintain the awareness to not hurt any living being, even in the slightest degree, through your mind, speech and actions. You will make spiritual progress when this principle remains firm in your conviction and awareness.” So this Mahavir Jayanti, let us decide to keep the strong inner intent not to hurt anyone though our mind, speech and body!    https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mahavir-jayanti-april-2016/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mahavir-jayanti-april-2016/ Mon, 18 April 2016

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-ram-navmi-april-2016/ Ram Navmi marks the auspicious day of the birth of Lord Ram, who is revered for His endless compassion, courage and devotion to religious values and duty. He is revered even today, after thousands of years, because of these virtues. Lord Ram’s true devotees are His representative and should embody the same qualities as the Lord.   But in this day and age, how can we become Lord Ram’s true devotees? How can we live by the same principles that Lord Ram lived by His whole life? Well, even if we cannot give everyone around us happiness, let us at least try not to give anyone any pain. Let us aim to keep out thoughts positive, no matter what is going on around us. Instead of criticizing people for treating us badly, let us resolve not to treat anyone badly no matter the circumstances. What do you think; can we not strive to change so that Lord Ram can be proud of us? If we obtain some right understanding our behavior will automatically improve by itself. This right understanding can be obtained through Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s Knowledge of the Self. And by applying the Knowledge of the Self, we can stop hurting others through our mind, speech and body, and as a result become Lord Ram’s true devotees!   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-ram-navmi-april-2016/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-ram-navmi-april-2016/ Wed, 13 April 2016

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-holi-march-2016/ It’s time for Holi – the festival of colors! We all celebrate the festival of Holi every year, but do we know the science behind colors? Any color that the human eye can see – is essentially derived from the three Primary colors – blue, red and yellow. So if we alter the amount of even one primary color then we get a completely different color. And so it is in life, where by changing even one evidence in any event that is due to occur, the outcome changes, and if an evidence is missing then that event cannot take place at all. Think about it – when we want to make even one cup of tea - how many evidences do we need? We need tea leaves, we need a pot to make the tea in, we need milk, we need a cup, we need a strainer, we need sugar, we need water, we need a gas burner, we need to have gas, and we even need someone who can make the tea! What if one of the evidences were missing? Would we be able to make tea? No! Without tea leaves – there would be no tea. How about without water? What about without gas? And what if you had all the evidences but there was no one to make the tea? Then would you be able to? And it doesn’t stop at just making tea. In order for any event in this world to occur there are countless evidences that have to be present for that event to take place. If even one evidence is missing then that event will not take place. In reality all we do is believe that “I did this…” “I did that….” What do you think – are we really capable of doing anything?   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-holi-march-2016/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-holi-march-2016/ Mon, 21 March 2016

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-niruma-s-10th-punyatithi/ On March 19th 2006, before departing Her mortal body, our beloved Mother - Pujya Niruma - asked for only one assurance in the most touching way, "Live with Love...Promise?” Looking back at some of the incidents in Pujya Niruma’s life, we can see the importance “love” had in her life. Pujya Niruma had one cardinal rule in life: begin a task from where it is stuck, make amends for things that are ruined. Never use your intellect when dealing with people, only use it to find solutions for problems. This rule made it easy for Her to care for everyone She met in life. For Her, people had value, not things.  Many celibate boys and girls dedicated their lives to Pujya Niruma, She groomed them as if they were Her own sons and daughters. She never tried to change their behavioral traits or debarred anyone from any work. Instead, She only focused on how to help each of them grow by encouraging their positive traits and qualities. Her mission to spread Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s Spiritual Science of Akram Vignan and bring an end to the suffering of people around the world, now became their mission also. Pujya Niruma, Herself was the Embodiment of Pure Love! Pujya Niruma’s love was unconditional! She always credited Param Pujya Dadashri for grooming Her and teaching Her about the qualities of love. Her compassionate nature instantly provided any seeker with a comfortable and open environment to discuss their life problems and obtain solutions without any kind of blame or rebuke. Countless people have received and implemented solutions as per Her guidance and continue to do so, bringing about peace and bliss into their lives. Pujya Niruma has left us with a living image of what “Real Love” looks like. This is perhaps why even 10 years after Her departure; we continue to feel Her subtle presence and grace!!!   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-niruma-s-10th-punyatithi/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-niruma-s-10th-punyatithi/ Thu, 17 March 2016

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/sanctification-ceremony-of-the-trimandir-in-anjar-gujarat/ On the auspicious occasion of Pujya Deepakbhai’s Gnan Day, there was also another reason for everyone to celebrate – it was also the day that the Sanctification Ceremony of the Trimandir in Anjar, Gujarat took place. Pujya Deepakbhai in the presence of thousands of followers and non-followers alike, performed the Pran-Pratishtha (sanctification ceremony) of the idols in the Trimandir (Non-sectarian Temple) in Anjar (Gujarat), India. The entire ceremony was web-casted live, which allowed thousands of followers to join from all over the world. The Trimandir radiated with divine energies throughout the whole event and the subtle presence of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, Pujya Niruma and Dev-Devis was felt throughout the day.  Idols of Lord Simandhar Swami, Lord Krishna and Lord Shiva, the three major religions in India, as well as idols of other Gods and Goddesses (including Lord Ganesh, Lord Hanuman, Shri Saibaba, Lord Mahavir, Amba Mataji, Padmavati Devi, Chakreshvari Mataji and Ashapura Mataji – just to name a few) are housed under the roof of the Trimandir.     Pujya Deepakbhai performed the Pran-Pratishtha of all the idols in the morning. After which He requested all attendees who were watching in person and in the live webcast to do bhaav that the divisions of opinions (matbhed) between all the religions of the world are broken. That the living Lord Simandhar Swami’s presence spreads throughout the entire world providing permanent peace and happiness to all, and opens up the path for spiritual progress to all visitors so that they too can benefit and attain moksha (liberation). Since it was also Pujya Deepakbhai’s Gnan Day then asked all the followers for blessings so that He is able to do Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s work for the salvation of the world with utmost purity and sincerity. The temple was then open for darshan.  In the afternoon, Pujya Deepakbhai performed the puja and aarti of all the idols, while all the attendees ecstatically sang songs of bhakti. In the evening, to celebrate the joyous occasion, a bhakti session was held in the presence of Pujya Deepakbhai. On 7th March, Pujya Deepakbhai performed the Dwar (Door) Opening Ceremony, followed by puja and aarti, of all the Lords - officially opening up the Trimandir for darshan.  https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/sanctification-ceremony-of-the-trimandir-in-anjar-gujarat/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/sanctification-ceremony-of-the-trimandir-in-anjar-gujarat/ Tue, 08 March 2016 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-anjar-india-feb-2016/ On 5th March, 1200 new seekers attained Self Realization through Gnan Vidhi Ceremony in Anjar, India. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-anjar-india-feb-2016/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-anjar-india-feb-2016/ Mon, 07 March 2016

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-maha-shivaratri-2016/ Awaken Your Soul and Experience the Permanent Bliss of Shiva, this Maha Shivaratri!!! Maha Shivaratri commemorates the auspicious night when Lord Shiva became ‘Neelkanth (the one with the blue throat)’. This is because Lord Shiva readily drank a deadly poison that had emerged from the churning ocean (Samudra Manthan), in order to save the universe from destruction. However, He kept the poison in his throat, instead of spitting it out or swallowing it because that would have caused the destruction of both the Lord and the universe. What does this divine act of love signify? What does it tell us? It tells us that we should face unfavorable situations, such as insults, without spitting or swallowing. In this case, spitting would mean to react negatively or violently in the mind or through our speech, which would only result in more vengeance. Similarly, swallowing means to tolerate the insult, which means you bear the pain of the insult but suffer incessantly. Both these ways of dealing with insults are not feasible, because Lord Shiva does not like a person hurting himself or others.   So, why not learn to deal with all poison-like insults or disgraces by not spoiling our mind and speech as well as by not hurting the opposite person in any way. But how is this possible in this day and age?  Through spiritual science! Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s Spiritual Science provides one with such an understanding that allows one to remain unaffected in any unfavorable situation. One is able to remain free in unfavorable situations because one has the answers to questions like – “Who is at fault?”, “Why am I suffering?”, “Who is the cause behind my suffering?”. This holistic vision allows one to remain in the blissful state of Shiva, permanently! This Maha Shivaratri let’s learn from Lord Shiva by awakening our Soul and remaining separate from the pain of insult!   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-maha-shivaratri-2016/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-maha-shivaratri-2016/ Sat, 05 March 2016

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-gnan-day-pujya-deepakbhai/ On 6th March, mahatmas around the world will celebrate Pujya Deepakbhai’s Gnan Day. Pujya Deepakbhai, received Gnan in 1971, from Gnani Purush (Enlightened Being) Dada Bhagwan, whom bestowed this gift of Self-Realization through the process of Gnan Vidhi. Dada Bhagwan attained Akram Vignan, a new, short cut and step-less path to self-realisation, spontaneously in June 1958. Prior to receiving this knowledge of the Self, Pujya Deepakbhai found worldly life purposeless and mundane. Upon acquiring this science, something within him had awakened. He dedicated all his spare time to studying and understanding this knowledge of the Self, whilst simultaneously fulfilling his worldly obligation to his family, studies and finally to his business. During the course of his spiritual journey, Pujya Niruma, (spiritual disciple of Dada Bhagwan) nurtured and mentored Pujya Deepakbhai. Both worked collectively in the service of Dada Bhagwan and Dada’s mission which contributed profoundly to Pujya Deepakbhai’s understanding of Akram Vignan. In 1977, six years later, under Dada Bhagwan and Pujya Niruma’ guidance, Pujya Deepakbhai had reached astounding heights. In fact, Dada Bhagwan stated the following: “Since Lord Mahavir, no one has attained such a level of awareness. This Deepak will become the jewel that adorns Lord Mahavir’s teachings”. Presently, Pujya Deepakbhai travels all over India and the world gracing seekers who are in search of peace and internal happiness. Are you curious to find out how this science of Akram Vignan can transform your life? Would you like to find out who you really are? If so, attend a Gnan Vidhi conducted by Pujya Deepakbhai to experience eternal bliss and put an end to your worldly suffering. This science of Akram Vignan comes to light once in a million years! What are you waiting for?    https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-gnan-day-pujya-deepakbhai/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-gnan-day-pujya-deepakbhai/ Fri, 04 March 2016

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-valentine-s-day-feb-2016/ In Search of ‘Unconditional Love’ on Valentine’s Day    “Love is unconditional!” “Love is selfless!” But what does ‘unconditional’ actually mean?  In the dictionary, the word ‘unconditional’ is defined as ‘without conditions or limitations’. But do we actually love without conditions or limitations in real life?  When our children fail an exam, we get mad at them and punish them. Why is this? It is because we have an expectation, or condition in our mind, that our children should not fail.  What about when our parents do not meet our demands? How do we react then? We get mad at them too, because we expect them to fulfil all our demands or expectations.  Considering similar situations in your own life, do you think that your love for your family and friends is really ‘unconditional’? When our expectations of our loved ones are not met, it is the true test of whether or not our love is ‘unconditional’ for them.  So then, what is the true meaning of ‘unconditional love’? Param Pujya Dadashri says,  “Only the Gnani (The Enlightened One) who is the embodiment of love can give us the real definition of love. Real love does not increase or decrease. That which increases or decreases is not love; it is infatuation and attraction (attachment, infatuation or love associated with expectation)! Only love of the Supreme Soul has no expectations or self-interest. It is the love that does not look for faults and never changes. It does not overflows when someone offers praise, nor does it turn hostile towards the one who insults. This kind of constant and unlimited love is the incarnate Supreme Soul of the Gnani. Such unparalleled love can only be discerned in the Gnani Purush or a complete Vitarag (one who is free from any attachment) Lord.”  So, why don’t we take a step on our journey towards experiencing unconditional love by first remaining unaffected when our expectations are not met?  https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-valentine-s-day-feb-2016/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-valentine-s-day-feb-2016/ Sat, 13 February 2016

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-67th-republic-day/ Today, January 26, 2016, India celebrates its 67th Republic Day. It honors the implementation of the Constitution of India which came into force on this day in 1950. A constitution is a law that the governing body of a state must abide by which ensures peace, prosperity and organization within the state. If it was deprived of the Constitution, our country would have been drifting aimlessly and eventually would have fallen apart. Likewise, don’t you think that we should also have a governing principle which will protect us from drowning in this endless ocean of worldly delusion? Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, has unfolded the true knowledge of Self Realization which is our guiding light to reach the Real Self, in the same way as the Constitution is for the relative world. Abiding by the principles of Dadashri’s Gnan, we can win over egoism, overcome suffering, experience the bliss of our true Self and eventually attain our ultimate goal of Liberation. So let us honor India’s Republic Day by resolving to attain Self Realization and forge ahead on the path of Liberation!  https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-67th-republic-day/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-67th-republic-day/ Mon, 25 January 2016 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-makar-sankranti/ On the day of Makar Sankranti, it is an important ritual to fly kites. The festival spirit is showcased by flying the kites as high as possible. Kite is taken as a symbol of having high aspirations and elevated vision. Everyone always has an inherent wish to fly high in the sky and reach the horizon. When a group of people are flying kites, there is lot of joy and fun. If people are helping each other to fly high without cutting each other’s kite, there will be spirit of humor due to adjustment taken to accommodate every individual’s feelings and happiness. So why not nurture this aspiration with an enlightened knowledge and vision of Gnani Purush Param Pujya DadaBhagwan. As Flying kites springs out a spirit of jubilation in us, our blessed Gnani gives us the Master Key of "Adjust Everywhere" which allows us to just lead life on the same theme of “FLYING KITES” and achieve contentment. In our life we come together with various many groups like family, friends, colleagues etc. Here each one is trying to fly his own kite (achieve something and contribute something) in life to be happy and make people happy around him. This is possible only if we keep awareness of taking adjustments like "Avoid Conflict" by not giving good or bad opinions and trying to accommodate every individual without competition, so everybody feels important and loved. The "FORMULA" for winning is "GROUP wins then You win". So let life be a festival to watch, let every kite WIN!! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-makar-sankranti/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-makar-sankranti/ Wed, 13 January 2016 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-vadodara-india-jan-2016/ On 10th January, 1250 new seekers attained Self Realization through Gnan Vidhi Ceremony in Vadodara, India. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-vadodara-india-jan-2016/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-vadodara-india-jan-2016/ Mon, 11 January 2016

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dada-bhagwan-s-punyatithi-1/ Despite leaving His mortal body on 2 January 1988, Ambalal Muljibhai Patel, fondly known as Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, is still alive in the hearts of millions of people around the world. Why so? Well, that’s because His only desire and intent to take away the pain and suffering of everyone in this world through the step-less (Akram) spiritual science (Vignan) has given permanent bliss and happiness to countless across the globe. He was not an ordinary man; He is the founder of the Akram Vignan movement, self-performing science acting as the direct, step-less path to Liberation. Dada Bhagwan was revered as a Gnani Purush (Enlightened Being) in whom the Pure Soul had manifested fully, which consequently helped millions others to realize their Soul too, regardless of caste, gender, or religions. This self-realization is based on the ultimate spiritual science that transforms all temporary pain and suffering into permanent bliss and happiness, without doing anything. It is all about knowing the exact science, not about doing anything for gaining permanent bliss. The proliferating effect of Self-realization is experienced even today, by those who attend this ceremony. This is because Param Pujya DadaBhagwan Himself remained spontaneously in the bliss of the Self (soul), indicating complete detachment from the Ambalal Patel’s physical body. Due to this spontaneous separation of the body and soul, His death was in complete Samadhi – free of any suffering, attachment, and pain, and with complete inner bliss. Let’s have a strong resolution this New Year to attain Self-realization as soon as possible and say good bye to all the pain and miseries of life! At present, blessed by Dada Bhagwan, Pujya Deepakbhai Desai conducts Self Realization ceremonies (Gnan Vidhi) across the world. Have a look at this year’s schedule here! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dada-bhagwan-s-punyatithi-1/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dada-bhagwan-s-punyatithi-1/ Fri, 01 January 2016 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/good-bye-to-2015-happy-new-year-2016/ It is New Year’s Eve. Celebration time!!! Bid farewell to 2015. Usher into the New Year. Year after year, we celebrate a new year – be it a 31st Dec or our birthday. We move ahead, we move forward. And after all, it is not possible for us to hold onto time, isn’t it? But many a times, we have this emotion to not let a moment pass by. And many other times, we think of the moment that is yet to come. Either stuck in the past or worried about the future!?! ‘Live in the present’ – we agree to this in theory, but what is the practical challenge we face? What is it that doesn’t allow us to settle in the present? There does exist a quick solution to this! It is possible for us to always ‘Live in the Present’ if we attain the real knowledge of the Self and the understanding on how the world runs! Our tensions, worries, baggage of the past can be scientifically tackled, and we can enjoy and remain happy in the present. This new year while you celebrate, put on your thinking caps and start ‘Living in the Present’. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/good-bye-to-2015-happy-new-year-2016/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/good-bye-to-2015-happy-new-year-2016/ Thu, 31 December 2015 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/an-eventful-year-2015/ 2015 was indeed a remarkable year which covered a lot of blissful events like the Ambaji Jatra and the most auspicious life instilling ceremony of the idols in Amreli Trimandir inspiring the world to know and worship Simandhar Swami and thus spreading this Spiritual science.

This shows immense faith in the Lord even after thousands of years. However, what makes this faith work despite living amidst worries, financial crisis, pain, and miseries? Well, it is ‘LOVE’ and this is exactly the ultimate message of Jesus Christ. But do we fully understand the meaning of ‘love’ as preached by Jesus? Well, Jesus preached unconditional love so that we can love each other without any conditions. If someone insults us, our love should be such that there is no fight, no loss of harmony or peace, and no demand for filing a case in the court. However, how to inculcate such love within? For this, you need a flawless vision – a pure vision that does not note down in mind any fault of the other. This was the vision that Jesus had from the cosmos and what Arjun had received from Lord Krishna at the battlefield. Luckily, you can achieve this vision from a living Gnani or spiritual master. At present, Pujya Deepakbhai Desai can give you this gift of 360 degree pure vision. He was blessed by Param Pujya Dadabhagwan, the Indian spiritual master, to spread the power of Jesus’ love through self-realization via Akram path (stepless path) to eternal bliss and salvation. So, why not grab this opportunity and obtain a free but invaluable gift of self-realization to become an embodiment of true love this Christmas? https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/merry-christmas/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/merry-christmas/ Thu, 24 December 2015 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-patan-india-dec-2015/ On 10th December, 1400 new seekers attained Self Realization through Gnan Vidhi Ceremony in Patan, India. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-patan-india-dec-2015/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-patan-india-dec-2015/ Fri, 11 December 2015

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dada-bhagwan-s-108th-janma-jayanti/ Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s 108th Janma Jayanti (Birth Anniversary) was celebrated remarkably from the 21st to 29th of November in Pune (Maharashtra), India. During the first two days of the commencement of the event, because of unprecedented rainfall, the volunteers had to go through various difficulties, but they had observed lot of penance throughout the crisis situation and gained practical experience of Gnan by their positive attitude.  Abiding by the Gnani's instructions, those followers who couldn’t come by also had to face a lot of penance. At every center the followers did prayers for one hour everyday so that new seekers can take benefit and the event goes on smoothly without any obstructions. Until the 26th Nov, the event venue was a hall with a capacity of around 3000 people, but still it was managed quite well with the over flow of followers and new seekers.  25th Nov. was Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s 108th Janma Jayanti. On this day Pujya Deepakbhai gave blessings to thousands of spiritual seekers and followers to remain in pure soul and to see the world with a flawless vision. With Param Pujya Dadashri's, Pujya Niruma's and Dev Devi's grace and prayers by all followers, all the forthcoming events- Gnanvidhi Ceremony, Theme park, Children Park etc restarted at the original venue  with full force.  On the 27th Nov, a grand procession was organized in a very short time to welcome Pujya Deepakbhai which couldn’t take place on the first day of the event due to unexpected rainfall. The spirits of all the volunteers and followers were remarkable.  It was a traditional Maharashtrian welcome ceremony. With a traditional white turban, Pujya Deepakbhai was given a warm welcome along with the Pune traditional dhol players who played a beautiful rhythm. On the 28th Nov, around 2500 new seekers took Gnan out of which 1500 were Marathi speaking people. A total of 32 schools and about 12000 children visited the theme park and children park between the 26th and 29th of Nov. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dada-bhagwan-s-108th-janma-jayanti/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dada-bhagwan-s-108th-janma-jayanti/ Tue, 08 December 2015 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-indore-india-dec-2015/ In Indore, India 1250 new people took Gnan Vidhi (Self realization ceremony) on 6th December. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-indore-india-dec-2015/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-indore-india-dec-2015/ Mon, 07 December 2015

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-niruma-s-71st-birthday/ Born on 2nd December 1944, Pujya Niruben Amin was a doctor by profession. However, this is not the reason for which millions of people across the world today affectionately call her ‘Niruma’. This token of esteemed recognition is for the ‘Motherly Love’ she showered on countless, through the matchless grace of Akram Vignani - Param Pujya Dadabhagwan who is fondly remembered as Dadashri. Although a doctor by profession, Niruma chose to live a dedicated spiritual life not only for relieving people from their miseries, sufferings, and pain but also gracing them to experience the permanent bliss day and night. Well, this was the only desire of Param Pujya Dadabhagwan, which she promised Him to fulfill it sincerely and selflessly. After the departure of the mortal body of Param Pujya Dadabhagwan, Niruma travelled across the globe. She was alone to endure all kinds of hardships in the beginning but her pure intent and heart took no time in leaving a positive impact on people. In a short period, she started receiving a tremendous response, as people of all ages were easily being inspired by her speech filled with love and compassion, felt no where else. As a result, the pure vision and selfless desire of Dadashri started achieving a shape of reality. Through television too, Niruma introduced Dadashri’s Spiritual Science of ‘Akram Vignan’, which He always used to term as the ‘Science of Vitarags’. She provided solutions to all types of spiritual and worldly questions and graced people with eternal bliss through Gnan Vidhi (Self-realization ceremony). Apart from that, Niruma escorted the construction of Trimandir as a symbol of Dadashri’s impartial vision towards all religions and molded all those who surrendered their life to Dadashri’s desire by giving motherly love and care. Finally, it was Dadashri’s wish that Pujya Deepakbhai should be groomed to impart this science to the world. Keeping her promise, Niruma prepared and blessed Deepakbhai to continue giving Gnan to the world for years to come! Even today, her subtle presence is felt by countless mahatmas who are fulfilling the most simple yet the most responsible promise given to her – “We will stay with love, Niruma!” https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-niruma-s-71st-birthday/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-niruma-s-71st-birthday/ Tue, 01 December 2015 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-pune-india-nov-2015/ 2600 new seekers took Self Realization through Gnan Vidhi Ceremony in Pune, India on 29th November. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-pune-india-nov-2015/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-pune-india-nov-2015/ Mon, 30 November 2015

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dadabhagwans-janma-jayanti/ Dadabhagwan Janma Jayanti: An Auspicious Day for Reaping the Maximum Benefits of Darshan and Worship. The Birthday celebration (Janma Jayanti) of Param Pujya Dadabhagwan is just coming up in the month of November 2015. The Significance of this event is that on this day, the Gnani Purush becomes one with the Absolute Self or Dada Bhagwan within. According to Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, doing the Darshan of the Gnani (One who bestows the knowledge of the Self) in his absolute state will lead you to ultimate liberation quickly in this kaliyug. The Gnani purush in turn, just wishes that you get your work done by doing his darshan, in whom the absolute One has manifested. Putting in simple words, such a darshan makes you attain both worldly as well as spiritual prosperity by breaking all obstacles and hundreds of demerit karmas. This ultimately makes you remain in peace of mind (for worldly matters) if you have not taken Gnan (knowledge of the Self). If you have taken Gnan, you will also simultaneously be able to remain in the bliss of your Self, the awakened absolute One within you (for spiritual progress). So why wait when such a blissful opportunity is knocking at our door to be blessed by the ABSOLUTE ONE!!   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dadabhagwans-janma-jayanti/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dadabhagwans-janma-jayanti/ Sun, 22 November 2015 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-adalaj-india-nov-2015/ On 15th November, 900 new seekers attained Self Realization through Gnan Vidhi Ceremony in Adalaj, India.   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-adalaj-india-nov-2015/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-adalaj-india-nov-2015/ Mon, 16 November 2015

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-children-s-day/ In India, Children’s Day is celebrated on 14th November – the birthday of the first Prime Minister of independent India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. The idea behind Children’s day is to honor children, and emphasize the importance of giving love and affection to children, who are the bright future of India. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan has given great insights on how to deal with kids, how to tackle the younger generation and how to mould them towards productivity and creativity. It is with love and affection that the best qualities in children can be nurtured. Only then, we can have a harmonious equation with kids around us. And the kids will also have positive attitude in life. As Dada Bhagwan says, the basic step to start on this is to first improve ourselves – “Parents themselves should develop moral values that result in a loving family environment. The love from parents should be such that their children would not want to leave them. If you want to improve your child, the responsibility lies with you. You are duty-bound to your child. Children will learn whatever they see in you. Only when the parents are morally upright, do their children also become morally upright." Let this Children’s Day also be a day for parents and guardians – where we resolve to improve ourselves such that our kids are naturally inspired to inculcate values from us. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-children-s-day/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-children-s-day/ Fri, 13 November 2015 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-dubai-uae-nov-2015/ On 6th Nov, 240 new seekers attained Self Realization through Gnan Vidhi Ceremony in Dubai, UAE.   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-dubai-uae-nov-2015/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-dubai-uae-nov-2015/ Tue, 10 November 2015

No points to guess, we are talking about Diwali – the festival of lights and glitter. Diwali is one of the most awaited festivals across India. It brings with itself a unique enthusiasm and joy. Everyone around is cheerful. It just feels happy, isn’t it? The lights of diya and lanterns and the high spirits are so positively mesmerizing! Imagine, if these external, temporary lights are mirth make us so cheerful, what if we were to get our inner permanent light!! Light in the form of this discovery, this realization of ‘Who am I’? The light which can give us permanent peace, the light which can allow us to have a spiritual understanding without changing our way of life. The darkness of ignorance can be instantly dispelled by the light of true knowledge. True knowledge is result oriented. Such True Knowledge can be gained through the Self-Realization process being given by Pujya Deepakbhai in India and across the world. Do you want this True Knowledge? Do you seek a permanent light within which will make you as happy and bright as the lights of Diwali? Come, be a part of the Self-Realization process and the related Spiritual Science.  https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/this-diwali-let-there-be-light/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/this-diwali-let-there-be-light/ Tue, 10 November 2015 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-nairobi-kenya-africa-oct-2015/ In Nairobi, Kenya, Africa 150 new people took Gnan Vidhi (Self realization ceremony) on 29th October. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-nairobi-kenya-africa-oct-2015/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-nairobi-kenya-africa-oct-2015/ Fri, 30 October 2015

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-navratri/ ‘Navratri’ as the name suggests – is a festival of nine days. The festival is symbolized by garba, devotional songs, aarti, and worship to Goddess Amba. Navratri is dedicated to Goddess Amba – She represents naturalness of prakruti (The non-Self complex). She represents the original energy force. If we worship Goddess Amba, our prakruti gains energy. The Prakruti becomes powerful and energized. And gradually, the prakruti attains its natural state – and this natural state helps us to be in the awareness Self and increase happiness on the spiritual path. Goddess Amba can destroy one's worldly obstacles as well. And more so, devotion to Goddess Amba alongwith the knowledge of Self-realization (Who am I) can bring us best results in the worldly life as well as in our spiritual understanding. So, let us celebrate this Navratri with devotion to Goddess Amba and seek her blessings for the naturalness of our prakruti. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-navratri/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-navratri/ Sat, 10 October 2015 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-adalaj-india-oct-2015/ In Adalaj, India 1200 new people took Gnan Vidhi (Self realization ceremony) on 4th October. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-adalaj-india-oct-2015/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-adalaj-india-oct-2015/ Mon, 05 October 2015

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/samvatsari-2015/ Samvatsari 2015 What is Samvatsari? Samvatsari is that auspicious day of the year wherein people seek forgiveness of other people they might have hurt intentionally or unintentionally. It is characterized by people saying “Michhami Dukkam” to each other. This essentially means “I beg your forgiveness”. It is a day which helps us in introspecting and repenting for the mistakes that we have made - mistakes that hurt others, mistakes that upset us. Mistakes caused through our mind, speech and body. Mistakes that may either be obvious or subtle; repetitive or new. But isn’t it difficult to recount all the mistakes made during the year, on one particular day itself? We make umpteen mistakes in a day itself, don’t we? How will we be able to recollect mistakes of an entire year then? While something is better than nothing, why wait a year long to cleanse ourselves? Why not do “Michhami Dukkam” daily, rather on the spot? It is simple and effective – all we have to do is to invoke the Lord or Soul within the person whom we have hurt and do pratikraman by saying, "Oh Lord! I repent for my mistake. I ask for your forgiveness and resolve never to repeat it." “Pratikraman” will make us feel light and blissful. This Samvatsari let us seek forgiveness for our mistakes and henceforth continue with inner pratikraman on the spot whenever we hurt someone. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/samvatsari-2015/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/samvatsari-2015/ Wed, 16 September 2015 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-amravati-india-sep-2015/ In Amravati, India 1020  new people took Gnan Vidhi (Self realization ceremony) on 2nd September. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-amravati-india-sep-2015/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-amravati-india-sep-2015/ Thu, 03 September 2015

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-janmashtami/ The annual celebration of the birth of Lord Kirshna is celebrated with great devotion across India and many countries. Everyone stays up till midnight to usher in Lord Krishna’s birth with chants, prayers, devotional songs and sweets. Though Janmashtami is celebrated in different ways and rituals, the underlying devotion to Lord Krishna remains the same. According to Hindu mythology, Lord Krishna is known and worshipped in two forms, as the Baal Krishna (child Krishna) and as Yogeshwar Krishna. However, the only person who truly understands Lord Krishna is the Gnani Purush (Self Realized person), for such a person has the same awareness of the soul as Lord Krishna. In essence, Lord Krishna had constant awareness of being a Pure Soul - the constant awareness that, ’The body is separate and I am a Pure Soul’. Despite his physical involvement in worldly affairs, he always had the awareness that 'I am not the 'doer' of anything’ – which in fact is the essence of The Bhagwad Gita as well. This Janmashtami, irrespective of the form or ritual or religion associated with Lord Krishna, let us bow down to His Pure Soul –  may we also achieve the awareness of Pure Soul and continue our worldly life with equanimity. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-janmashtami/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-janmashtami/ Thu, 03 September 2015 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-nagpur-india-aug-15/ 820 new seekers took Self Realization through Gnan Vidhi Ceremony in Nagpur, India on 30th August. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-nagpur-india-aug-15/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-nagpur-india-aug-15/ Mon, 31 August 2015

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-rakshabandhan-1/ Raksha Bandhan: Get the Ultimate Protection For most of us, the sacred festival of Raksha Bandhan is associated with protection and love, more commonly to between brother and sister. However, the ancient roots of this festival perhaps give us a broader interpretation, including even the spiritual significance. Do you remember the sacred help of Draupadi to Krishna and vice-versa? The relation between the two symbolizes the fact that no one in this world can defeat the ultimate protection from the Supreme Being. It shows how Lord Krishna protected Draupadi with an infinitely lengthy sari, in return for healing His wound with just one cloth piece. Nothing could overcome this protection, right? What does this suggest? It simply conveys that our Almighty God help takes the remaining 99 steps, if we just take only 1 with full heart, on the exclusive spiritual path. This assistance from the Supreme Lord is divine and has no match or alternative in this world. At the subtlest or absolute level, we become worthy of this divine protection only when we renounce our wretched, finite egoism. This renunciation for permanent protection is so simple – just surrender it heartily to a Gnani, Param Pujya Dadashri, in whom that egoism is already gone forever. This is His only desire so that you can identify your true Self within, without much struggle as He faced before becoming self-realized in 1958. Surrendering the ego with full faith and heart makes us worthy of His divine protection. This protection is such that it not only makes you remain in peace amidst several adversities of this era but also in infinite, permanent bliss of the Pure Self within, 24x7. So, why not tie a bond of permanent protection to Param Pujya Dadashri, this coming Raksha Bandhan, so that we can free ourselves from all karma bondages for rejoicing in the state of complete liberation? https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-rakshabandhan-1/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-rakshabandhan-1/ Fri, 28 August 2015 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-jaipur-india-aug-2015/ On 27th Aug, 525 new seekers attained Self Realization through Gnan Vidhi Ceremony in Jaipur, India. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-jaipur-india-aug-2015/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-jaipur-india-aug-2015/ Thu, 27 August 2015

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-independence-day-2015/ It is time to celebrate the spirit of patriotism and commemorate the sacrifices of many great heroes on this 68th Independence Day of India. Many fought, made strategies, led huge movements, gave up their lives, all with only one goal of freeing India from the clutches of colonial rule. While India has become an independent country, how many of us truly feel independent? How many of us are still slaves – Slave to our ego? Slave to expectations from others and from ourselves? Slave in the race to prove ourselves? Slave to agony and pain? While we may realize our slavery, but how we do we become free from such internal slavery? Well, there is someone who has struggled, not just in one life, but since infinite life-times, to attain freedom from such internal slavery, freedom from slavery to ego, anger, pride, greed, deceit! It’s none other than Dada Bhagwan and his Akram Vignan. No meditation, no rituals, no religious barriers – only understanding through spiritual discourses – Understanding Who am I? What is ego? What is Soul? Can I live a contented life? Dada Bhagwan’s Spiritual Science is here to free us from the clutches of internal slavery to ego! Let’s become a truly independent Self! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-independence-day-2015/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-independence-day-2015/ Thu, 13 August 2015 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-friendship-day/ In honor of Friendship’s Day, let us reflect on what makes a good friend: Someone who is amicable, who helps you enjoy life. Someone who supports you through your suffering. Someone who is honest and trustworthy. Someone who teaches you and guides you. And most importantly someone who loves you unconditionally. Of course there are innumerable qualities that make a person a good friend, but these are some of the main points. Our Gnanis, Param Pujya Dadashri, Pujya Niruma, and Pujya Deepak Bhai, are the epitomes of a friend. Who is more amicable than a person who sees the divine in everyone and everything? They not only help you through any and all suffering, they eradicate it from your life. This Gnan teaches you the ultimate truth that leads you to ultimate liberation. Their love for each of their disciples is pure unconditional love with no strings attached and they see the true you; not the temporary package but the Pure Soul. The only wish they have for you is for you to understand your true Self and reach moksha. This Friendship’s Day, let us honor our Gnani’s wish for us as they selflessly have given their lives to help us. Let us pay it forward by applying this Gnan.  https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-friendship-day/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-friendship-day/ Sat, 01 August 2015 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-phoenix-arizona-usa-jul-2015/ 256 new seekers took Self Realization through Gnan Vidhi Ceremony in Phoenix, Arizona, USA on 29th July. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-phoenix-arizona-usa-jul-2015/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-phoenix-arizona-usa-jul-2015/ Thu, 30 July 2015

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/gurupurnima/ What is a guru? A guru is more than just a teacher; he is a guide. He teaches his disciples the ultimate truth, he offers the tools to overcome ego by introducing a person to his true self- the pure soul. He teaches what is right from wrong and how to absolve yourself of past wrongs. When a person truly surrenders to the Guru’s guidance, he will become free from suffering and achieve eternal bliss. What is the importance of a Guru? A guru is the only person who can guide a person on the path to liberation so that he or she can finally escape the illusion with truth and no longer suffer through the bondage of sorrow and death. What is Gurupurnima? Gurupurnima is an Indian festival which is celebrated during the full moon when the Guru is in his full form. The word Guru literally translates to Gu- darkness, and Ru- Antidote of darkness. Just as the full moon illuminates the dark night, it is during this sacred time that the guru’s disciples will be able to receive the most “light” from his guru so that they can find their way out of the darkness and achieve more towards their spiritual growth. Param Pujya DadaBhagwan states that whatever is asked of him during this time in relation to ones progress towards achieving enlightenment, he will grant it.  The DadaBhagwan Foundation makes the most out of the auspicious period by holding a week shibir every year for all of its followers as well as anyone who is interested in finding truth and a path towards liberation. This year it will be in Phoenix, Arizona from July 26- July 31, 2015. Pujya Deepakbhai will hold satsangs on the 27th& 28th, perform GnanVidhi on the 29th and on the final day, Gurupurnima Day, everyone who attends will get a chance to do a personal darshan with Pujya Deepakbhai. Every year people gather from all over the world to attend this event, because not only is it spiritually fulfilling, it is also filled with fun events, including a children’s cultural show and garba.

Thanking them every day may not enough! However, today we may choose to take a moment and think as to what is it that we have done for them? Have we fulfilled our duties towards them? Have we shown our love and respect to them? And more importantly, have we ever hurt them by our mind, body or speech?  -  Through arguments, fights, stubbornness, disobedience, clash over difference of opinions, taking them for granted, ignoring them? Do you know the consequences of such behavior? Param Pujya Dadashri says, “Children who see faults in their parents will never be happy. They may have material wealth, but they would never be happy spiritually. You must never see faults in your parents. How can you forget what they have done for you?” On the occasion of Parents’ Day, why not take a vow to never hurt our parents? And how about a deep repentance (pratikraman) and seeking forgiveness for the hurting we have done to them? Food for thought!

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-niruma-s-gnanday-1/ Do you… Cause sorrow and fear to others? Scold someone blatantly? Have expectations from others? Insist on these expectations to get them fulfilled at any cost? See fault in those who do not fulfill your expectations? Well, if the answer to any of the above questions is ‘YES’, we know that we are NOT living with love. Where there is love, one does not see fault in others. But wait, Pujya Niruma sought promise from us to ‘LIVE WITH LOVE’ with the entire world!!! Then how can we fulfill Pujya Niruma’s final wish if it is our human nature to have expectations, see faults, get angry and hurt one another when things are not favorable to us? Can we overcome our instincts? Of course yes! We can live with love in all situations through Gnan, correct knowledge. And what does Gnan say? That real love should not break under any circumstances. It is only possible when there is not even an iota of expectation, overt or subtle, from another person. Through this right understanding, we will be able to fulfill Pujya Niruma’s wish and thus lead a life without stress, conflict, worries and anger. So let’s make a simple but concrete start on this auspicious day, 8th July; Pujya Niruma’s 48th Gnan Day!  Let’s get going, but in a resolute way – driving ourselves to get rid of these faults and making Pujya Niruma proud of us!! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-niruma-s-gnanday-1/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-niruma-s-gnanday-1/ Tue, 07 July 2015 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-new-jersey-usa-jul-2015/ In New Jersey, USA 280 new people took Gnan Vidhi (Self realization ceremony) on 5th July. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-new-jersey-usa-jul-2015/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-new-jersey-usa-jul-2015/ Mon, 06 July 2015

The morning started off with thousands of followers gathering in the Adalaj Trimandir where they heartily prayed for Pujya Deepakbhai’s good health and longevity. Pujya Deepakbhai did darshan and took the blessings of all the Gods and Goddesses, Shree Simandhar Swami, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan and Pujya Niruma in the mandir, while followers expressed their elation by singing devotional songs. Pujya Deepakbhai then asked all the followers for blessings so that He is able to do Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s work for the salvation of the world with utmost purity and sincerity. Then Pujyashree and all the followers performed the aarti of Shree Simandhar Swami and Dada Bhagwan. In the afternoon, followers gathered specially for one hour in the Satsang Hall where there was Kirtan Bhakti. At night, everyone gathered in the Bliss Garden where a special program had been organized. The program started with a special video clip depicting Pujya Deepakbhai’s life. It showed pictures of Pujyashree’s life during His childhood and glimpses of special moments after He took Gnan from Param Pujya Dadashri. Then children of laborers, who are being taught by the 7th Standard students of the Amba School for Excellence, presented a very nice birthday card and danced for the first time on stage, in celebration of Pujyashree’s Birthday. This was followed by a hilarious drama on "Dakho (Interference)." And to top of all the celebrations there was a short but excellent satsang with Pujyashree which everyone enjoyed on occasion of Pujyashree’s Birthday. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-deepakbhai-s-birthday-celebrations/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-deepakbhai-s-birthday-celebrations/ Wed, 13 May 2015 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mothers-day/ Today we honor and celebrate mothers around the world who shower their children with unconditional love, prepare them for their journey throughout life and raise them to become upstanding adults. In 1987, Param Pujya Dadashri told his most diligent disciple, Niruben, during his departure from the worldly life, “I am very pleased with you Niruben. This Niruben is a great instrument for the world's salvation. She will have to become a mother to the whole world. Whenever Niruben wants, Dadashri will speak from within." And from that point forward until her parting on March 19, 2006, Niruben became Niruma, fulfilling Param Pujya Dadashri’s wish and becoming the perfect mother to everyone she came across. How did Pujya Niruma fit the title as the World’s Mother? Her intentions were purely selfless. She gave everything she had and wanted nothing in return. She even continued giving spiritual discourses when her health was deteriorating because her only wish was that the world attains salvation. She loved everyone she encountered wholeheartedly and unconditionally without judgment or expectation. She was readily available for anyone who needed her and people felt comfortable with her because they felt her pure love for them. She was a patient teacher, who was able to understand the questioner’s problems and give them the exact key with which their problem could be solved. Pujya Niruma led by example. Despite the fame she acclaimed, she remained egoless. She always attributed everything to Param Pujya Dadashri.  Pujya Niruma was an incredible mother to the world. She changed countless people’s lives and continues to do so even after her departure.  https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mothers-day/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mothers-day/ Sat, 09 May 2015 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-63rd-birthday-pujya-deepakbhai/ May 9th, marks the 63rd Birthday of our Dearest Pujya Deepakbhai. One cannot fathom what exactly paved the way for Pujya Deepakbhai’s own spiritual progress, but by observing one of His awe-inspiring qualities - utmost humility towards everyone whether young or old, employer or employee, one is motivated to reach the level of spiritual awareness that Pujyashree has reached today. Once during a spiritual discourse with thousands of listeners, a questioner asked Pujya Deepakbhai, how come He did not bow down to Lord Krishna and Lord Shiva the same way that He bowed down to Shree Simandhar Swami and Dada Bhagwan. The questioner further added that Lord Krishna and Lord Shiva followers felt as though their Gods were not respected the same way as the other Gods. To this Pujya Deepakbhai heartily apologized, and said that He was sorry, and He thanked the questioner for bringing this to His attention. He added that He would make an immediate change. For a Spiritual Master who is world acclaimed - it is not easy to apologize in front of a large audience but for Pujya Deepakbhai it was an easy feat, because of His utmost humility. His this very quality is seen in all aspects of His life and that is why in the Real, Pujya Deepakbhai has been able to reach such great heights of spiritual awareness! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-63rd-birthday-pujya-deepakbhai/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-63rd-birthday-pujya-deepakbhai/ Thu, 07 May 2015 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-harrow-uk-apr-2015/ 250 new seekers took Self Realization through Gnan Vidhi Ceremony in Harrow (London), UK on 19th April. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-harrow-uk-apr-2015/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-harrow-uk-apr-2015/ Mon, 20 April 2015

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/shri-simandhar-swamis-janma-kalyanak/ Shri Simandhar Swami is a living God, a Tirthankar, who is present in another world known as Mahavideh Kshetra. He has conquered His anger-pride-deceit-greed and therefore, His darshan has a soothing effect on everyone. Where is Mahavideh Kshetra? It is millions of miles away, in the north eastern direction from our world. Who is a Tirthankar? A Tirthankar is a person who has conquered the cycle of birth and death, and who provides a bridge for others to go to moksha (liberation). What is the significance of a current living God? One makes progress in the worldly life by worshipping the Tirthankars of the past, but one does not gain any benefit towards liberation. Liberation is only attained through the ones who are living and present. What can we gain from Him? It is said that Shri Simandhar Swami has a special bond with our world. By praying to Him, He can guide us on the path of permanent spiritual bliss. Devotion towards Him can lead us to Him in the next life and in His presence; we too can attain final liberation. What can we do? On this auspicious occasion of Shri Simandhar Swami’s Janma Kalyanak (birthday), let’s send our deepest obeisance to Him and seek His blessings for spiritual progress in this life and ask for His shelter in the next. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/shri-simandhar-swamis-janma-kalyanak/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/shri-simandhar-swamis-janma-kalyanak/ Sat, 11 April 2015 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-leicester-uk-apr-2015/ 85 new seekers took Self Realization through Gnan Vidhi Ceremony in Leicester, UK on 12th April. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-leicester-uk-apr-2015/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-leicester-uk-apr-2015/ Sat, 11 April 2015

On this auspicious occasion let’s look at the definition of one of His Mahavrats – Satya (Truth) as per Param Pujya Dadashri’s spiritual knowledge, “What is Satya (truth)? When no living being is hurt through speech, is not hurt through conduct or one does not think anything bad for the other person; [that] is the greatest truth. It is the greatest principle!” On this spiritual day why don’t we decide to adopt this one vow - Truth (Satya) - with its unique perspective, into our lives?

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-ram-navmi/ Ram Navmi is a celebration of Lord Ram’s birth. In honor of this joyous occasion why don’t we learn an important lesson from Lord Ram’s life. On the night before His coronation as King, Lord Ram followed his father’s wish and left for a 14 year-long exile the very next day. All this was in order to finish His karmas. So why don’t we try to apply this understanding and finish our karmas? Param Pujya Dadashri says, “If someone bothers you, you should understand that you must have done something bad to him in your past life, and now he is returning the favor. So you must resolve the situation calmly and peacefully. But because you cannot remain peaceful, you end up sowing new seeds of karma there is only one way to deal with karmas bound from the previous life and that is through peace and equanimity. You should not have a single bad thought about other people. You should simply feel that you are experiencing your account and that whatever the person may be doing to you is all on account of your own karma. You should understand that you are suffering because of your own previous bad deeds. Only then is there any freedom.” https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-ram-navmi/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-ram-navmi/ Sat, 28 March 2015 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-niruma-s-9th-punyatithi/ Puyja Niruma, fondly known as Niruma, was a medical doctor by profession. On July 8 1968, she attained Self-Realization from Param Pujya Dadashri. This realization came into her experience and helped her even when her father passed away. After this experience Pujya Niruma decided to spend her life to help fulfill Param Pujya Dadashri’s mission for the salvation of the world. Due to the fact that the love she showered on everyone around her was incomparable and unconditional, she became lovingly addressed as 'Niruma' - a Mother, an Embodiment of pure love. Her loving nature was able to provide people with a comfortable, open environment where they could not only share their problems with her, but also receive a solution from her. On March 19 2006, when Pujya Niruma left her mortal body her final message to all was - "Live with Love...Promise?” So what can we do keep her promise? In order to keep her promise we first need to understand the correct meaning of pure love, which Pujya Niruma made everyone experience till her last breath. Param Pujya Dadashri says, “Real love is divine. Real love begins the moment one begins to understand one’s Real Self (the Soul).” But where can one find such real love in this day and age? Param Pujya Dadashri explains, “All diseases can be abolished through love. You will find it from the Gnani Purush or from His ‘followers’ (mahatmas).” https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-niruma-s-9th-punyatithi/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-niruma-s-9th-punyatithi/ Tue, 17 March 2015 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-45th-gnan-day-pujya-deepakbhai/ On 6 March 1971, Pujya Deepakbhai received the Knowledge of the Self from Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan. Before this Pujya Deepakbhai did not find pleasure in the worldly life, but after receiving this Knowledge his life completely changed. This knowledge ignited within him, the continuous contemplation of the Self, to the point that, in 1977, Pujya Dadashri noted that Pujya Deepakbhai’s level of awareness had reached such a great height, which no one in the last 2500 years had reached. This Knowledge of the Self is such that while living a materialistic life, one can remain in the awareness of the Self.

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-maha-shivratri/ On the auspicious occasion of Maha Shivratri seekers never forget to chant ‘Shivoham, Shivoham’ meaning I am Shiva, I am Shiva - there is no distinction between Shiva and my true Self. But what is the true meaning of Shiva? Param Pujya Dadashri explains, “Due to wrong belief, [one] became jiva - that which lives and dies. One is a Shiva, but illusion has arisen; wrong belief has set in. It does not take long for jiva to become Shiva. When a Gnani Purush fractures the wrong belief and replaces it with the right belief, one becomes the Self again, one becomes Shiva.” During the Self Realization Ceremony this wrong belief is broken and the right belief that ‘I am a Pure Soul’ sets in, making one Shiva. So why not take advantage and go from jiva to Shiva in the true sense, by taking part in a Self Realization Ceremony near you? To find out when the next Self Realization Ceremony is, in an area near you, visit: http://www.dadabhagwan.org/schedule/satsang-q-a-session/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-maha-shivratri/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-maha-shivratri/ Mon, 16 February 2015 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-valentine-s-day/ We all strive to become Embodiments of Love, especially when it comes to Valentine’s Day. But who can we call the Embodiment of Love? And more importantly, how do we become an Embodiment of Love? Let’s find out what Param Pujya Dadashri says about this, “If one understands the world exactly as it is, and then experiences it from that perspective, then he will become the embodiment of love. What does 'as it is' mean? It means that all living beings are innocent. They are flawless. It is because of illusion that one sees faults in others. It is an illusion if people appear good and it is also an illusion if they appear to have faults. The former is because of attachment and the latter because of detachment. In reality everyone is faultless. When you see faults in them, you cannot love them. So when you see the world as faultless, that is when pure love will arise. As long as we look upon others as being separate from ourselves, we feel a sense of 'mine' and 'yours'. As long as you keep differences with the other person, you will have attachment towards your own. Those for whom we have attachment, we consider 'ours' and those with whom we feel detachment, we consider as belonging to others. A person with this kind of discrimination can never become an embodiment of love. The nature of the Self is love and with such a love, one forgets all one's problems. Once bound through this love, nothing else can bind you. When does love arise? It is when you ask for forgiveness for all mistakes that have occurred so far. You accept that you, and only you are at fault for seeing fault in others. You should take this approach with those for whom you wish to become the embodiment of love. Only then will you feel love.” https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-valentine-s-day/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-valentine-s-day/ Wed, 11 February 2015 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-amreli-india-feb-2015/ In Amerli, India 2900 new people took Gnan Vidhi (Self realization ceremony) on 7th February.   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-amreli-india-feb-2015/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-amreli-india-feb-2015/ Mon, 09 February 2015

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-republic-day/ January 26, is an important day in the history of India. It marks the day when the Constitution of India was enacted upon. This very Constitution helps the smooth functioning of the Government as well as the country as a whole. So the Constitution helps to run a country smoothly, but what can help run our lives smoothly? Aren’t there any laws we can follow or principles we can live by, which will enable us, not only to live conflict-free lives but also lives without stress and worries? Yes, there is! These principles outlined by Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, a Spiritual Scientist, will ensure exactly that. What are these principles, you ask? Let us find out in Param Pujya Dadashri’s own words: Adjust Everywhere: “You will sail through all difficulties in life if you adjust to anyone who fails to adjust with you. A person who knows how to adjust with others does not suffer. Adjust everywhere. Adjustment with each and every person is the highest religion. There are different prakrutis, (people with different personalities, characteristics, tendencies etc.) in our time, so how can you get along without adjusting?” Avoid Clashes: “If just this principle alone were to be absorbed in one's life, then his daily life will be filled with peace and harmony. In addition, such a person will attain liberation without any obstacles. There is no dispute about this.” So the answer is simple, apply these two principles in your life and watch your world change! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-republic-day/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-republic-day/ Fri, 23 January 2015 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/makar-sankranti-2015/ January 14, is Makar Sankranti also known as the Kite Flying Festival. But did you ever wonder how you can relate colourful kites with words? Well, just as kites soar in the air, so do words. The words we speak and the intent we say them with, travel through the air as vibrations and reach the opposite person. So if we speak kind, sweet words with a positive intent, then positive vibrations reach the opposite person. And if we speak harsh, hurtful words with a negative intent then negative vibrations reach the opposite person. But what does it matter what kind of speech we use and the vibrations the opposite person receives? Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan provides the answer, The “One who speaks ‘completely’ negative creates karmic obstructions (antray) and ‘positive’ does not create any obstruction (antray).” So the decision is ours. Those of us, who do not want any karmic obstructions, should only speak positive words, isn’t it? https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/makar-sankranti-2015/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/makar-sankranti-2015/ Mon, 12 January 2015 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-gandhinagar-gujarat-india-jan-2015/ In Gandhinagar, India 1400  new people took Gnan Vidhi (Self realization ceremony) on 4th January. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-gandhinagar-gujarat-india-jan-2015/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-gandhinagar-gujarat-india-jan-2015/ Mon, 05 January 2015

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dada-bhagwan-s-punyatithi/ A. M. Patel, also known as Dada Bhagwan, departed His mortal body on 2 January 1988. Dada Bhagwan is the founder of the Akram Vignan movement, a Spiritual Science with a direct, step-less path to Liberation. Dada Bhagwan was a Gnani Purush (Enlightened Being) who realized His Pure Soul and subsequently helped others realize their Soul too. This Spiritual Science enables people to live a peaceful and happy life without any change in their worldly interactions. Pujya Dadashri was in the bliss of the Self and became completely detached from the physical body of Ambalal Patel. This excerpt of His spiritual discourse on ‘Life after Death’ helps us understand His profound knowledge and experience of the Soul and the Science of Death: “The Soul never dies, but as long as you have not become the Soul (Self-realized), you will experience fear. Do you not fear death? If something were to happen to your body, you will begin to have fear about dying. It is because of your conviction and belief that you are this body and that you are ‘Chandulal’ (reader to use own name), that there is death. But if that focus and belief was not one with the body, then death cannot touch you.” We can also free ourselves from the fear of death, and live happily – by obtaining Self-realization. Currently, Pujya Deepakbhai Desai conducts Self Realization ceremonies (Gnan Vidhi) across the world with the blessings of Dada Bhagwan. Let’s keep a strong intent of obtaining Self Realization and hope that many others obtain the Knowledge of the Self as well. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dada-bhagwan-s-punyatithi/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dada-bhagwan-s-punyatithi/ Thu, 01 January 2015 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-new-year-2015-is-here/ It is time to say goodbye to 2014 and say hello to 2015!!! Some people may like this if they had a ‘not so good 2014’, while others may worry about what 2015 will bring. Some will reflect upon the good memories of 2014, while even others will gear up for the challenges expected in 2015. The majority of us will sit down to make resolutions for 2015, isn’t it? These resolutions will touch different spheres of our life - personal, professional or social. All these resolutions are made in order to make our life happy, and give us a sense of achievement. This time, how about also considering a resolution to make others happy? How about serving and helping people? Why don’t we think along those lines as well for the year 2015? But again, one wonders – Why help others? How can I help others? And what are the benefits of helping others? Param Pujya Dadashri has said, “You will not incur any loss or experience any obstacles in life if it is spent serving and obliging others. All your wishes will be fulfilled provided you remain free from interference and restlessness, but if you do not, then none of your wishes will be fulfilled. Restlessness will not allow you to sleep at night. These wealthy businessmen are not able to sleep for days because all they have done throughout their lives is cheat and rob people. So be obliging. If you are going somewhere, ask people if you can run an errand for them while you are out. What is wrong in asking? Someone may tell you that they don't trust you, so in that case, ask for their forgiveness. Those who do trust you, be sure to help them.” So come, let’s make our New Year happier by resolving to have an obliging nature! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-new-year-2015-is-here/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-new-year-2015-is-here/ Wed, 31 December 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/2014-what-a-memorable-year/ 2014 was an eventful year – from visiting the lap of the Himalayas during the Vaishnov Devi Jatra in North India, to travelling around the world spreading Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s Spiritual Science of Akram Vignan - let’s take a quick look back at ALL the events that made 2014 extraordinary!

The children performed dances, skits and sang spiritual songs to express their love for Shree Simandhar Swami, Param Pujya Dadashri, Pujya Niruma and ofcourse Pujya Deepakbhai! Vaishnov Devi Jatra  Pujya Deepakbhai, as well as 1200 followers went on a 13 day Jatra of North India. They visited Vaishnov Devi in Katra, participated in the world renowned aarti on the awe inspiring mighty Ganga River in Haridwar and visited snow covered Manali. Remembering Pujya Niruma  Pujya Niruma’s Birthday and Pujya Niruma's Punyatithi were celebrated in the presence of Pujya Deepakbhai and thousands of followers. On Pujya Niruma’s Punyatithi – 19th March, 12 celibate boys and 15 celibate girls surrendered themselves to Param Pujya Dadashri’s cause of Jagat Kalyan whole heartedly during their Samarpan Vidhi (Akram-diksha ceremony). Pujya Deepakbhai also announced the progression for the already dedicated Aptasankul members, as they took a step forward in their spiritual path. Trimandir Opening and Ground Breaking Pujya Deepakbhai performed the Ground Breaking Ceremony of Amreli Trimandir earlier in 2014, which will be opening on 8th February, 2015. There was also the grand opening of a Trimadir in Surendranagr, where Pujya Deepakbhai performed the Sanctification Ceremony in the presence of thousands of followers.

A part from this there was a Theme Park, Children’s Park, 3D Movie Show on Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, Web Duniya (Web World), Amphitheatre and a 360° Parenting Show.  https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/2014-what-a-memorable-year/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/2014-what-a-memorable-year/ Tue, 30 December 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/spiritual-discourse-at-subtle-level-parayan-and-sanctification-ceremony-of-small-idols/ In Adalaj (Gujarat), India there was eight days of Spiritual Discourses from 20th December to 27th December 2014. During the eight days Pujya Deepakbhai explained Param Pujya Gnani Purush Dada Bhagwan’s Spiritual Science to all of Dada’s followers at a deeper level. The aim of these sessions was to obtain a deeper understanding of the Soul, which would help in everyone’s progress on the path of liberation. Followers from throughout India, as well as from Kenya, America, Canada, Singapore, Australia, Spain, the U.K., Germany and New Zealand came to listen to these Spiritual Discourses. And for those who were unable to attend the sessions in person, there was a live webcast of Pujya Deepakbhai’s discourses in Gujarati, as well as live translations that were occurring simultaneously in Hindi, English, German and Spanish. This was followed by the Sanctification Ceremony of small Idols on 28th December. Pujya Deepakbhai performed the sanctification ceremony of over a thousand small idols of Lord Simandhar Swami and other Gods and Goddesses. After Pujya Deepakbhai completed the ceremony, all the followers carried out the ceremonious bathing (prakshal) and puja of all the idols. This was followed by aarti.                       Thereafter thousands of followers celebrated the joyous occasion by doing garba. But this was no ordinary garba; it was made extraordinary because all the followers danced while carrying the idols of the Vitarag Lord Shree Simandhar Swami, as well as other Gods and Goddesses on their heads. During the garba everyone’s inner peace and bliss was reflected on their faces. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/spiritual-discourse-at-subtle-level-parayan-and-sanctification-ceremony-of-small-idols/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/spiritual-discourse-at-subtle-level-parayan-and-sanctification-ceremony-of-small-idols/ Sun, 28 December 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/merry-christmas-and-much-much-more/ It’s that time of the year again, when there is festivity and joy all around. It’s time for gifts, Christmas carols and lots of celebration. It’s time for happiness, so Merry Christmas Everyone!!! Christmas marks the birth of Jesus Christ. This is the most significant festival in the Western world, but nonetheless, people across the world celebrate it and share their joy. On this day of festivity, let’s stop and ask ourselves - Why can’t every day in our life be as happy as Christmas day?  Let’s ponder upon the message of peace, love and selfless help that Jesus believed in? And introspect on how much we abide by God’s teachings? Everyone yearns for Christmas as it brings happiness. But how would it sound if we didn’t have to wait a whole year to feel happy again? How about remaining happy and content every day for the rest of our lives? Come, and explore the Spiritual Science which can help us achieve this. By obtaining the Knowledge of the Self (Atma Gnan) and by being in the awareness that I am a Pure Soul, we will be able to live a happy life – where nothing on the outside changes, but only our understanding develops for the better. Find the answers to questions like Who am I?, How can I improve my relationship with others?, What is the concept of humanity?  And what is spirituality? So come, let’s make this Christmas an eventful one by exploring the Spiritual Science as propounded by Dada Bhagwan, the Enlightened One.  https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/merry-christmas-and-much-much-more/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/merry-christmas-and-much-much-more/ Tue, 23 December 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-delhi-india-dec-2014/ 500 new seekers took Self Realization through Gnan Vidhi Ceremony in Delhi, India on 14th December. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-delhi-india-dec-2014/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-delhi-india-dec-2014/ Mon, 15 December 2014

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dada-bhagwan-s-107th-janma-jayanti/ Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s 107th Janma Jayanti (Birth Anniversary) was celebrated on a grand scale from 5th to 9th November in Gandhidham (Kutch), India. On 5th November, the celebrations started with all the followers lining up to welcome Pujya Deepakbhai onto the Janma Jayanti grounds. Pujya Deepakbhai gave darshan to all followers. Pujya Deepakbhai performed the opening ceremony by a candle lighting ceremony as well as a flag hosting. Over 100 little children and youth performed exceptionally well in a cultural program which had a Kutchi theme. Thousands of followers and Pujya Deepakbhai watched their performance. At night there was a spiritual discourse with Pujya Deepakbhai with over 10,000 followers in attendance. 6th November was Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s Janma Jayanti. Pujya Deepakbhai and followers did pujan and darshan of all the Gods and Goddesses, followed by the aarti of Shree Simandhar Swami and Pujya Dada Bhagwan. Around 12,000 people came to do darshan (devotional viewing of God) of Pujya Deepakbhai on this auspicious day. In the afternoon, the Honorable Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shrimati Anandiben Patel graced Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s 107th Janma Jayanti Mohatsav with her presence. Thousands of followers warmly welcomed her. She was blessed by Pujya Deepakbhai to fulfill the aspirations of crores of Gujaratis. Pujya Dadashri has said that there would be a time when pure leaders would come into power and lead India towards new heights. Pujya Dadashri’s words can be seen coming true today. From the 7th to the 9th of November the Satsang Hall was full of people. Pujya Deepakbhai gave attendees, simple yet applicable spiritual solutions to their day to day life problems making them extremely happy. Thousands of people stood in line to watch all the shows in the Children’s Park, Theme Park and Web Duniya. This time a new way of explaining Pujya Dadashri’s science was introduced in the Theme Park, it was called “Change Belief, Get Relief.” It explained how clashes occur because of different viewpoints and how to solve these clashes with Pujya Dadashri’s right understanding. One of the visitors said that, “I never knew that happiness could be attained so easily just by changing one’s belief.” A 360 degree parenting display was designed to teach parents how to create a positive environment to nurture their children. It also taught parents unique ways to interact with their children without creating conflicts due to differences in viewpoints. Another show that was extremely popular with visitors was the 3D Projection Mapping Show called “A. M. Patel to Dada Bhagwan.” It depicted what happened to Dada Bhagwan during the spontaneous manifestation of Self Realization within Him. In the Children Park, there were lots of attractions for children. There was a Puppet Show called “Dukh Se Sukh ki Aur,” the Merry Land show, “Aag Babula” interactive display, Lucky Draw and the Amphitheatre. Through the Puppet Show children learn that by giving happiness you get happiness. The Merry Land Show taught three things – 1) To identify your mistakes, 2) The use of right understanding – “What you give to others, you will get back,” 3) Ask for forgiveness if you hurt anyone. And the Aag Babula interactive display illustrated what are the effects of getting angry and more importantly how to get rid of anger. On 10th November there was a Voluteers Satsang with Pujya Deepakbhai, where they shared their amazing experiences. A total of 2800 volunteers comprising of young volunteers from the age of 5 to old volunteers of the age of 75 gave sincere service for 14 to 16 hours a day for 5 days. Daily an average of 50,000 people visited Dada Bhagwan’s Janma Jayanti. People of Gandhidham and Kutch embraced Dada Bhagwan’s Janma Jayanti very heartily. Gandhidham Civic Authorities were saying that it will be better if Dada Bhagwan Parivaar adopts Gandhidham, then Gandhidham will be as clean as you [Dada Bhagwan Parivaar] have created on the Janma Jayanti grounds.  Visitors said that in Gandhidham every program has always been at a charge, even parking is charged, but here in Dada Bhagwan’s Janma Jayanti there are soo many wonderful shows, excellent food at a cheap price, the grounds are superbly clean and everything was totally free which really is amazing.  https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dada-bhagwan-s-107th-janma-jayanti/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/param-pujya-dada-bhagwan-s-107th-janma-jayanti/ Tue, 11 November 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-adalaj-nov-2014/ 1500 new seekers took Self Realization through Gnan Vidhi Ceremony in Adalaj, India on 2nd November. New Seekers shared their experiences after taking part in the Self Realization Ceremony yesterday. Here are just two experiences: 1)  In my 55 years, I have not eaten non-vegetarian food only on two occasions. Once was when my father passed away, and the other when my mother passed away. Let alone never eat non-vegetarian food, I have now decided [after obtaining Self Realization] that I will never even look at non-vegetarian food again. I have also learned that I want to settle everything as it comes in life, I do not want to leave anything [any karmas] pending. 2)  By accident I saw your [Pujya Deepakbhai’s] spiritual discourse on TV one day. And from that day I have never missed watching any of your spiritual discourses. Also from the bottom of my lungs, I feel like the wandering of infinite lives has come to an end for me. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-adalaj-nov-2014/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-adalaj-nov-2014/ Mon, 03 November 2014

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/diwali-and-indian-new-year-s-celebration-in-adalaj-india/ On 23rd October, in Adalaj, Gujarat, India, Diwali was celebrated with a grand night of bhakti in the Tri-Mandir in the presence of all the Gods and Goddesses, and everyone’s beloved Pujya Deepakbhai. On New Year’s Day, Pujya Deepakbhai did the puja and darshan of all the Gods and Goddesses. This was followed by a celebration of food called ‘Annakut.’ It is a grand offering of food to Lord Krishna, which represents gratitude to the Lord for his blessings. Pujya Deepakbhai lovingly fed items from ‘Annakut’ to Param Pujya Dadashri and Pujya Niruma. The ‘Annakut’ was left for darshan for all in attendance and was later distributed to visitors and followers as prasad (food offered to God). Pujya Deepakbhai then did the aarti of Shree Simandhar Swami and Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan. Pujya Deepakbhai’s New Year message to all of Dada’s followers was to do darshan of Dada, who is not only in the full moon state on this day, but is also vitarag (the One who is free from all attachments) - so by doing His darshan on this day, one can reap tremendous benefit. By making a connection with Dada Bhagwan we should ask for the missing shaktis (energies), which will help us progress on our path to moksh (liberation). We should make a decision (nischay) to use our mind, speech and body for the salvation of the world. Approximately 8000 followers come to do darshan (devotional viewing of God) of Pujya Deepakbhai on this auspicious day. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/diwali-and-indian-new-year-s-celebration-in-adalaj-india/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/diwali-and-indian-new-year-s-celebration-in-adalaj-india/ Sat, 25 October 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/this-diwali-let-there-be-everlasting-light/ Diwali is the festival of lights. It is celebrated by lighting earthen lamps called ‘diyas.’ This symbolizes the overcoming of darkness (evil) with light (good). Just as you need a lit diya to light another diya, you need a living Gnani Purush (The Enlightened One), whose Soul is Enlightened, to illuminate your own Soul. At present, Atmagnani Pujya Deepakbhai Desai, who is the living disciple of Gnani Purush Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, travels extensively throughout India and around the world gracing thousands of seekers through Spiritual Discourses and Self Realization ceremonies. He has become instrumental in bringing inner peace and eternal joy into the lives of countless people. So, why not take advantage of His precious presence and attend a Self Realization ceremony which will bring everlasting light into our life and result in eternal bliss?

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/benefits-of-worshipping-goddess-amba/ Goddess Amba or Ambaji is a celestial being and an embodiment of prakrut (physical complex of mind, body, and speech) energy. According to the Spiritual Master Param Pujya Dadashri, worshipping Ambaji results in gaining prakrut energies due to which an individual’s prakruti remains good and one’s sahajata (naturalness or spontaneity) increases. This finally results in the Atma (the Self) becoming sahaj, the ultimate reward of worshipping the Goddess. In addition to the prakruti becoming natural, Amba Maa’s grace brings about peace and happiness, as well as respite from worldly obstacles. The benefits of her worship are astronomical not only for those who live a worldly life but also for those who desire to attain moksha (liberation from the cycle of birth and death).    https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/benefits-of-worshipping-goddess-amba/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/benefits-of-worshipping-goddess-amba/ Wed, 24 September 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/idol-of-shree-simadhar-swami-bhagwan/ The idol (murti) of Shree Simandhar Swami Bhagwan, which will be installed in the Amreli Trimandir (Non-sectarian Temple), arrived at Simandhar City, Adalaj (India) last night from Jaipur.

Here are two experiences that new seekers shared during the satsang. 1) I was closely following a guru who told me that "you have attained Self Realization," but my internal stress and suffering were not decreasing. After seeing Pujya Niruma’s and Your [Pujya Deepakbhai’s] satsangs on TV my internal suffering went away. I am pleasantly surprised that even after getting so called "Self Realization" from my previous guru, my suffering didn't go and by just listening to you, it went away! So what can be said of your satsang!!! 2) We were eating non-vegetarian food but after watching Pujya Niruma on TV, our entire family has become vegetarian.  https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/new-seekers-experiences-in-patna/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/new-seekers-experiences-in-patna/ Mon, 15 September 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-kolkata-sep-2014/ In Kolkata, India 350 new people took Gnan Vidhi (Self realization ceremony) on 11th September. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-kolkata-sep-2014/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-kolkata-sep-2014/ Fri, 12 September 2014

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/experience-of-a-follower-in-pali/ Pujya Deepakbhai’s satsang was held first time in Pali. Nice experience of Host follower in Pali: The lady host follower in Pali first came to know about Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan from a Pamphlet which was distributed for Gnanvidhi (Self-Realization ceremony) in Jodhpur during Pujya Deepakbhai’s Rajasthan jatra. She had no background about Pujya Dadashri either from TV or through any other source before that. The line "Self Realization in 2 hours and after that freedom from unhappiness" catched her attention and she felt immediate pulling for Gnanvidhi. She asked husband to take her for Gnan (Knowledge of Self) as Jodhpur is 2 hours driving distance from Pali. Husband generally disagree but to her surprise agreed immediately and both came for Gnan. Since then they both have not missed any big program (parayan, Hindi shibir etc) and their whole immediate and extended family are followers now and today they became big instrument for Jagat Kalyan in Pali and surrounding area. A simple pamphlet became a big instrument (beyond intellect). https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/experience-of-a-follower-in-pali/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/experience-of-a-follower-in-pali/ Sun, 07 September 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-teachers-day/ September 5 is Teacher’s Day in India. Let’s learn from some tips Param Pujya Dadashri has given students to become worthy of their guru’s grace:   Never see your Guru’s faults. Sometimes, if the Guru tells you something convoluted, or gets annoyed with you; then you should ignore that. Once you have made a Guru, you should never see a single fault of your Guru. If you do not feel dislike for you Guru, then you will reap the benefits of your faith. Even if the Guru behaves foolishly, yet you do not feel dislike for him, then your faith will reap rewards. That is, if you do not spoil your inner intent towards him; because God, the living God, resides within your Guru. No matter how the Guru behaves, the disciple should remain obedient. If the disciple follows the Guru’s instructions; then his work will be done. Keep your guru happy – this will automatically mean that you will be blessed. ‘Krupa Drashti’ – when the disciple follows what the guru asks, it keeps the guru happy that is ‘krupa dhrasti’  https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-teachers-day/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-teachers-day/ Thu, 04 September 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/paryushan-parayan-2014/ During the 8 days of Paryushan, from the August 22 to August 29 there was Parayan (Advanced Study) of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s vani (speech), in the presence of Pujya Deepakbhai.  Tens of thousands of followers attended the event. Followers from America, the UK, Germany, Kenya, Singapore, as well as from Pune, Bangalore, Kolkata and other Hindi States travelled to Simandhar City (Gujarat), India to attend the Parayan. While thousands others from around the world watched the event live, through the live webcast.  Followers eagerly lined-up awaiting Pujya Deepakbhai’s darshan as he entered and exited the hall.  On the auspicious day of Samvatsari, where one asks for forgiveness by doing Pratikraman for their wrongdoings, family members bowed down to each other asking for forgiveness for hurting each other and vowed not to hurt each other again, in the presence of Pujya Deepakbhai. During the entire event the atmosphere was divine and on August 30, all the followers had the incredible opportunity to do Pujya Deepakbhai’s darshan.  To watch an amazing video which gives you a glimpse of the special highlights of the Paryushan Parayan : click here https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/paryushan-parayan-2014/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/paryushan-parayan-2014/ Sun, 31 August 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/samvatsari-pratikraman/ Samvatsari is the last day of the Jain festival of Paryushan. It is the day, where one asks for forgiveness by doing Pratikraman for their wrongdoings. But what is Pratikraman? Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “Pratikraman (asking for forgiveness) means to destroy inner enemies of anger, false pride, greed, and illusionary conduct.” But how does one go about destroying these inner enemies? He explains, “You have to recall the pure Soul within ‘Chandulal’ (the person you have wronged). The Soul which is completely separate from the union of the mind, body and speech, bhaav-karma, dravya-karma, no-karma; his and all attachment related to him and say, ‘Dear Shuddhatma Bhagwan (Lord; the pure Soul)! I ask for forgiveness for the mistake of raising my voice [for example]. I am making a strong resolution not to repeat that mistake again, so give me the energy (shakti) to do so.’ When you recall Dada or the Shuddhatma and admit your mistake, it is called alochana. Pratikraman is to apologize for that mistake and making a resolve not to repeat it is pratyakhyan. When you harm or hurt any living being, it is considered atikraman and for that you have to do alochana, pratikraman and pratyakhyan, immediately.”   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/samvatsari-pratikraman/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/samvatsari-pratikraman/ Wed, 27 August 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/nice-experience-of-a-follower/ During the Parayan (Advanced Study) in the presence of Pujya Deepakbhai, the Dada Nagar Hall was full with thousands of followers. A Muslim follower shared his experience during the morning session of Parayan yesterday. He said that, he had a dream where he was talking to Allah. He asked Allah that he has not been reading his Namaz (prayers) so is he doing anything wrong? Allah replied that, I am always very happy if my disciple moves up a step and you are on the path of Akram Vignan (Self-Realization), which is very elevated, so I am very pleased with you. The follower then asked could you please give your blessings to Pujya Niruma and Pujya Deepakbhai because they are helping thousands of people. Allah replied, this Deepakbhai and Niruma are doing a very good job, so I am very pleased with them too and My blessings are always with them. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/nice-experience-of-a-follower/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/nice-experience-of-a-follower/ Tue, 26 August 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/janmasthami-celebrations-in-adalaj-trimandir-2014/ On the auspicious occasion of Janmasthami, on the 17th of August the Trimandir in Adalaj (India), had a grand celebration throughout the whole day.  Thousands of people visited the Trimandir throughout the day and did darshan of Pujya Deepakbhai. The atmosphere was divine and all the visitors did aarti of Lord Krishna as well as the aartis of all the other Gods and Goddesses, in the presence of Pujya Deepakbhai.  At night, the Trimandir resonated with the sounds of spiritual songs in celebration of Janmasthami during bhakti.  At night the main event of the Janmasthami celebration was the breaking of the matli (earthen pot) by Pujya Deepakbhai. Here are pictures of Puyjashree breaking the matli!    And lastly Pujyashree played the manjira (musical instrument) to a spiritual song.   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/janmasthami-celebrations-in-adalaj-trimandir-2014/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/janmasthami-celebrations-in-adalaj-trimandir-2014/ Mon, 18 August 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-janmashtami/ This Janmashtami, on the auspicious occasion of Krishna Bhagwan’s birth, let us celebrate by finding out a bit more about Krishna Bhagwan. We will focus on one of the qualities He is renowned for – being a Naishtik Brahmachari (one with an unwavering inner intent of celibacy)! But what does Naishtik Brahmachari mean?   Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan explains, “It means the one in whom there is constant inner intent of devotion and sincerity towards celibacy (brahmacharya). His discharging karmas are that of non-celibacy but his charging karmas are of absolute, pure and continuous celibacy. Lord Krishna had sixteen hundred queens and yet he was a naishthik brahmachari (celibate). Let me explain how. If a man steals but his constant inner intent is, ‘I do not want to steal,’ then he has naishthik achauriya (inner intent of non-stealing). This inner intent is the account of what is being charged for the life to come. A man makes a charitable contribution but in his deep inner intent (bhaav) he holds, ‘I should take advantage of these people’, in this case, his donation is not considered a donation for the next life. Everything that one sees and experiences through the senses has no impact and is of no value as far as the account of the next life (charging of new karma) is concerned. What is of significance, and has a direct impact in charging new karma is only one’s inner intent. This is happening simultaneously during all overt and external activities.”  https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-janmashtami/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-janmashtami/ Sat, 16 August 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-adalaj-aug-2014/ On 15th August, 1225 new seekers attained Self Realization through Gnan Vidhi Ceremony in Adalaj, India.

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-independence-day/ August 15, is the Independence Day of India! We, as Indians, are enjoying freedom and peace today, all thanks to the struggle and sacrifice of our forefathers. But what about our inner peace? What about our ego who rules over us? What about our slavery to our own thoughts? How do we obtain freedom from bondage? Most people would reply, “By following religion” And by following religion we climb the steps of progress. But have you ever asked yourself, ‘What should be the result of having followed religion? Have my worries decreased? Do I still experience inner suffering? Do I still get angry? Do I continue to get into conflicts with people? Has my inner suffering come to an end? Or do I now experience inner peace and live in harmony with everyone around me?' So then, one may wonder, “Why isn’t there freedom from suffering even after practicing religion?” It is because of our lack of understanding. By obtaining the Knowledge of the Self (Atma Gnan) and by being in awareness that I am a Pure Soul, we will be able to live a happy worldly life in the midst of a job, and a family and still experience freedom from all suffering. So come, let’s strive to get Independence from our own suffering! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-independence-day/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-independence-day/ Tue, 12 August 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-pune-aug-2014/ In Pune, India 850 new people took Gnan Vidhi (Self realization ceremony) on 10th August. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-pune-aug-2014/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-pune-aug-2014/ Mon, 11 August 2014

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-rakshabandhan/ This year Rakshabandhan will be celebrated on the 10th of August. Around the world, Rakshabandhan is celebrated with the tying of the rakhi by the sister on the brother’s wrist and the brother giving a gift to his sister. This act signifies the promise that the brother will protect his sister under any circumstance. This protection is only limited to this life and is dependent on the brother’s abilities. But what protection do we have for our future lives until we reach our final goal of liberation (moksh)? Why don’t we tie a rakhi to One who will not only protect us in this life, but who will protect us for the rest of our lives until we attain permanent liberation (moksh)? By tying a rakhi to Shree Simandhar Swami, Gnani Purush Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan and Pujya Niruma on this auspicious occasion of Rakshabandhan, we will receive Their protection up until we obtain final liberation (moksh)! https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-rakshabandhan/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-rakshabandhan/ Fri, 08 August 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/excellent-experience/ An excellent experience of an African American Follower, Iya Ibeji... She faced a lot of difficulties from the very beginning of the life. Being in depression, she began meditation and found some relief. But still she had questions that - Who am I really?  Who is responsible for intolerable conditions of the world? Then someone introduce her to attain the event which would bring great awareness of life and lasting bliss. Although she didn’t really understand what this ‘event’ was, she began to feel very strongly that she had to be there. Despite the obstacles, she participated in the event known as “Gnan Vidhi”.   Her experience after attaining “Gnan Vidhi” is as: A sense of calmness and peace that I had never known before seemed to fill my days. I could not explain how, I just knew it was there and not only that, most of the negative thoughts were gone. It has been 3 years since I received Gnan Vidhi, feelings of hopelessness, depression, victimization, anger, fear, resentment, hatred, and on and on, are no longer a part of my life. Having peace of mind, knowing who I am and that we are all connected and that there is no difference in us gives me hope and understanding and peace that I never thought possible. This, for me was a turning point! I realized that I was at the threshold of understanding how the world operates and who I am. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/excellent-experience/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/excellent-experience/ Tue, 05 August 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-friendship-day/ Friendship Day is celebrated on the first Sunday of August, which falls on 3rd August this year. Let us find out what Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan and Pujya Niruma had to say about the special bond of Friendship. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan used to say that, “What should friends be like? The kind who live amicably (having a spirit of friendliness).” For example, if one friend is doing his lessons then the other will finish that friend’s chores. If one person is doing a chore, then the other will do the next chore. No-one would have to direct a person, they live in harmony. Pujya Niruma also used to say that, “If [you] want the friendship to last then friends have to mutually take adjustments. Friendship lasts only if both friends let go of certain things that they dislike about each other. But if we insist that our friend should only do things the way we like, then gradually the friendship will break.” So if we do not want our friendship to break we should become the kind of friend that we would like to have. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-friendship-day/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-friendship-day/ Sat, 02 August 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-los-angeles-jul-2014/ 140 new seekers took Self Realization through Gnan Vidhi Ceremony in Los Angeles, California on 26th July.

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/parents-day-2014/ The 27th of July, which is the fourth Sunday of July, is Parents’ Day! It is every child’s moral duty, in fact religion (dharma), to serve their parents. The question may arise within you, “But what if our relationship with our parents is not a good one?” Regardless of what type of relationship you have with your parents, by giving them happiness, you will receive happiness in return. Implying that those who make their parents happy will never be unhappy. You may not become wealthy, but at least you will not have to suffer any pain (dukh) if you serve your parents. Since you cannot see God, why don’t you serve your parents who you can see?  https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/parents-day-2014/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/parents-day-2014/ Sat, 26 July 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-san-jose-jul-2014/ On 20th July, 121 new seekers attained Self Realization through Gnan Vidhi Ceremony in San Jose, California.

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/followers-experiences-at-san-jose-california-jul-2014/ Many Followers shared their experiences during the Spiritual Discourses with Pujya Deepakbhai Desai, in San Jose (California). Here are a few of their experiences: One follower shared their experience saying, “For the past 18 years I have performed so many rituals, but I was never able to stop hurting others. After taking part in the Gnan (Self Realization) Ceremony, two years ago, I have stopped hurting others.” Another follower said, “After taking Gnan my life has changed so much. My whole family lives like we are friends and we have completely stopped hurting others.” Another follower shared, “After taking Gnan, from within I immediately obtain the realization of how to maintain equanimity when dealing with people at work. This is in spite of the fact that I am not studying Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s Spiritual Science in depth.” Yet another follower shared, “After taking Gnan, I start my interactions with my colleagues by first seeing the Pure Soul within them. Once I see the Pure Soul within the opposite person, I also try to see the opposite person’s point of view and the situation they are in. In this way all the tasks get completed very easily. Everybody including the boss says that there have been a lot of changes within me.” https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/followers-experiences-at-san-jose-california-jul-2014/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/followers-experiences-at-san-jose-california-jul-2014/ Sat, 19 July 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-st-louis-jul-2014/ In St. Louis, Missouri 200  new people took Gnan Vidhi (Self realization ceremony) on 10th July.

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/gurupurnima-2014/ This year the auspicious occasion of Gurupurnima will be celebrated on July 12, in the presence of Pujya Deepakbhai Desai, in St. Louis, Missouri. But Why do we celebrate it? And how can celebrating it benefit us?” Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says that on the day of Gurupurnima, He does not have any external interactions with anyone and therefore He, the Gnani Purush becomes one with Dada Bhagwan (Fully Enlightened Lord) within Him. This means that He is in the Absolute state. One can reap tremendous benefit of His darshan on this day. So why don’t we all take this unique opportunity and make the most of it by doing darshan of the Enlightened One? To get the detailed schedule of the event: click here  https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/gurupurnima-2014/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/gurupurnima-2014/ Fri, 11 July 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-niruma-s-gnanday/ To celebrate Pujya Niruma’s 46th Gnanday, we are looking at what experiences made Her soar the heights of Spiritual Knowledge! In 1968, Pujya Niruma first heard from Her elder brother, about a ‘Gnani Purush’(The Enlightened One), also known as Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, who had attained ‘Gnan’ or  Self Realization (knowledge of the Soul). This ‘Gnani Purush’ had the ability to make you realize your Soul in merely two hours, after which neither happiness nor sorrow could touch you in life. It was the first time She heard the word ‘Soul’ in Her life. She thought that, “If, after taking this ‘Gnan’ no worldly happiness or sorrow can affect me, there cannot be anything greater than that. Therefore I must gain this knowledge.”  Then on June 29,1968, Pujya Niruma met Param Pujya Dadashri for the first time in Vadodara (Gujarat), India. At the age of 23, she took Gnan on July 8, 1968. During her medical exams and the death of her beloved father, Pujya Niruma did not experience any pain or stress. This made Her realize that “Wow! This knowledge is so wonderful and miraculous that one experiences freedom in all events of life.” She recognized that, “Many people in the world could become doctors, but only an exceptional person would become a doctor of the Soul. Therefore, why don’t I assist Param Pujya Dadaji in this mission for the salvation of the world! Can there be anything greater than this in the world?” In this way, She devoted the rest of Her life serving Param Pujya Dadashri in His Mission for the Salvation of the World. At the same time, because of Param Pujya Dadashri’s Science of Akram Vignan, She was able to progress spiritually, such that the total clear experience of the Self (Spashta vedan) had manifest within Her!  So why don’t we make Pujya Niruma our idol and follow in Her footsteps, so that we too can soar the heights of Spiritual Knowledge?  https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-niruma-s-gnanday/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-niruma-s-gnanday/ Tue, 08 July 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-dallas-jul-2014/ 150 new seekers took Self Realization through Gnan Vidhi Ceremony in Dallas, Texas on 5th July.    To watch a glimpse of new seekers doing Asim Jay Jay Kar with Pujya Deepakbhai after Gnan Vidhi: click here https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-dallas-jul-2014/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-dallas-jul-2014/ Sun, 06 July 2014

Dadashri: If that money is donated for a charitable cause, his liability will be reduced by whatever amount he sacrifices. For example, if he earned a hundred thousand rupees and donated eighty thousand to build a hospital, then his liability will be reduced by whatever he donates. He will still be liable for the remaining twenty thousand rupees. So it is good that he spends it for a worthy cause.

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mother-s-day/ In 1987, Param Pujya Dadashri told Pujya Niruma, “Niruben, you have to become the mother of the whole world.” Since then Pujya Niruma strived to realize Dada’s words and lived by Dadashri’s definition of pure love - which neither increases nor decreases, but is always constant. Where there is pure love He says, there is no weakness, there are no expectations and one does not see faults in others. In so doing, She was able to become the mother of the whole world. Attesting to Pujya Niruma’s pure love, many of Dadashri’s followers still remember Her pure love. Every follower who came in contact with Her would feel as if each one was individually blessed with Her pure love. Because of the strength of Her pure love, Pujya Niruma still resides in the hearts of thousands of mahatmas. Here are two incidents that exemplify Pujya Niruma’s pure love. The first incident is when a celibate boy was hesitant to move to Simandhar City. After Pujya Niruma inquired the reason for his hesitation, he said that he did not want to move because if he did, he would no longer get to eat any Kajju Katri (Indian Sweet Dish). Pujya Niruma immediately told him that he should move and that She would feed him Kajju Katri. Subsequently, every time Pujya Niruma received Kajju Katri, she would first remember that celibate boy and call him. Upon seeing Pujya Niruma’s pure love, the celibate boy soon forgot his love for Kajju Katri and whole heartedly surrendered to Pujya Niruma.   The second incident occurred in Baroda, where Pujya Niruma’s satsang had been organized. After setting up the cameras, the camera man who setup the cameras became busy with other work. Just then, the big camera which faces Pujya Niruma, fell down after being pushed by a small boy. The entire video team was upset and scared because the camera happened to be very expensive. They immediately switched the camera with a smaller one. Upon Pujya Niruma’s arrival into the hall, she instantly noticed that a different camera was being used for recording. When Pujya Niruma was told that the bigger camera had been broken, instead of scolding the camera man like he had expected, Pujya Niruma immediately sent a message saying that they would all have an ice cream party later on. Hearing this he became totally relaxed and his facial expression changed. Later that night there was an ice cream party and Pujya Niruma also had some! On experiencing Pujya Niruma’s calmness and love from that day forward he started taking extra care of all the equipment to ensure that it did not get lost, broken. In this way, in some way or another whoever met Pujya Niruma, even for the first time experienced Her selfless and Pure Love. Pujya Niruma’s final message before She left Her mortal body was, “Live with Love.” So this Mother’s Day, why don’t we try to be like Pujya Niruma and fulfill Her parting request?  https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mother-s-day/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-mother-s-day/ Sun, 11 May 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-deepakbhai-s-62nd-birthday/ Let us begin this 9th day of May by wishing our dearest Pujya Deepakbhai a very Happy 62nd Birthday! Let us pray that He has a long healthy happy life filled with the everlasting experience of the Soul, that His next birth is at the lotus feet of Shree Simandhar Swami and that He attains Moksha (ultimate liberation). Pujya Deepakbhai is known and admired by countless individuals for the innumerable qualities He possesses – purity, utmost humility and sincerity to name just a few. Taking a quick look at Pujya Deepakbhai’s past we can learn more about His quality of sincerity and how it developed through His early years. Pujya Deepakbhai attained Self Realization from Param Pujya Dadashri on March 6, 1971. Since then Pujya Deepakbhai spent all of His free time helping Pujya Niruma serve Pujya Dadashri. He carried out every task assigned to Him with utmost sincerity, even menial tasks like sweeping the floor, preparing for satsangs and Gnan Vidhis, putting out floor mats, picking flowers off the floor, folding and putting away floor mats and running errands. He also assisted Pujya Niruma with recording, writing, compiling and editing Param Pujya Dadashri's satsangs for books and other publications. Upon observing Pujya Deepakbhai’s sincerity, in 1974, Param Pujya Dadashri told Pujya Niruma, "Deepak has a lot of sincerity in him. If someone were to develop and mould him, he would reach the pinnacle of any direction he is guided." Under Pujya Niruma’s loving guidance Pujya Deepakbhai was groomed into an icon, who today is looked upon by thousands of Param Pujya Dadashri’s seekers for spiritual guidance and development for their path of ultimate liberation (moksha).

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/shree-simandhar-swami-janma-kalyanak/ The auspicious occasion of Janma Kalyanak of Lord Simandhar Swami falls on 10th day of waning moon in the first Hindu month of Chaitra as per the Vir Samvat reckoning system. Born at midnight, the Lord is a living Arihant Tirthankara in Mahavideh Kshetra, another world outside our galaxy but within our universe. Because of the strong intent from a former birth, Simandhar Swami has a karmic account to propagate the Moksha Marg (the path of ultimate liberation from the birth and death cycles) for the living beings on Earth. By connecting with the Lord through the grace of Gnani Purush Dada Bhagwan (the Enlightened Being), one binds favorable karmas due to which she or he is born in the Mahavideh Kshetra in future. There, one will experience His pratyaksh darshan (“in-person” devotional vision) the result of which is instant achievement of Keval Gnan (the final spiritual state of absolute Self-knowledge). Then, one attains Moksha after completing any pending karmas. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/shree-simandhar-swami-janma-kalyanak/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/shree-simandhar-swami-janma-kalyanak/ Wed, 23 April 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/gnan-experiences-of-german-followers/ In Willingen, Germany, during the spiritual discourse of Pujya Deepakbhai many old German followers shared their wonderful experiences on how they are progressing in Gnan (knowledge of the self). They also talked about how they followed Gnan during their time of need and how it made the results fruitful.    Some of the beautiful experiences are mentioned below: One of the followers shared his experience on how he can feel separation from the body through Gnan during his critical condition. Another follower talked about how she was capable of handling her husband’s health issue with the understanding of Gnan. Even with heavy financial loss a follower experienced inner peace within. Through the knowledge of the self one was able to resolve 30 years worth of conflicts with mother. One was successful to avoid clashes of the past 22 years with husband.   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/gnan-experiences-of-german-followers/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/gnan-experiences-of-german-followers/ Sat, 12 April 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-willingen-apr-2014/ 250 new seekers took Self Realization through Gnan Vidhi Ceremony in Willingen, Germany on 12th April.   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-willingen-apr-2014/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-willingen-apr-2014/ Sat, 12 April 2014

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/mahavir-jayantitake-away-his-key-of-non-violence/ Falling on 13th day of waxing moon in the first Hindu month of Chaitra every year, Mahavir Jayanti marks the birthday of Lord Mahavir, the last in the galaxy of 24 Tirthankaras (prophets). The current disciples or followers flock to His shrines in Gujarat or to nearby holy places for prayers and religious rituals. However, have you ever thought who the real follower of the Lord is? According to Param Pujya Dadashri, “A true disciple of Lord Mahavir sees decreasing numbers of faults in others. He may not completely stop seeing faults in others, but at least there is a decrease in the number of times that he does.” When the shepherd pushed thorns into the Lord’s ears, even then who did the Lord see as guilty? The Lord saw in His Gnan that His own karma had now come into fruition, and therefore, did not see his tormentor at fault. This is the foundation behind His preaching of absolute non-violence, not to hurt any living being from mind, speech, and body. When someone picks your pocket and you do not see him at fault, and if this vision prevails in countless other similar circumstances, know that you will achieve liberation like Lord Mahavir who managed to attain the same without binding karma through the flawless vision. This is Atma Gnan, the knowledge of Self, due to which you start to see everyone as faultless. Therefore, the real significance of celebrating Mahavir Jayanti is to make your vision flawless for others through Gnan that is possible to achieve even today.  https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/mahavir-jayantitake-away-his-key-of-non-violence/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/mahavir-jayantitake-away-his-key-of-non-violence/ Sat, 12 April 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-harrow-apr-2014/ On 6th April, 200 new seekers attained Self Realization through Gnan Vidhi Ceremony in Harrow, UK. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-harrow-apr-2014/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-harrow-apr-2014/ Thu, 10 April 2014

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/the-celebration-of-pujya-niruma-s-8th-punyatithi/ Pujya Niruma’s 8th Punyatithi was celebrated on a grand scale on 19 March. All of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s followers whether physically or virtually (joined through the online webcast) celebrated the occasion. The entire city radiated with the singing of bhakti pado(devotional songs) in the Prabhat Pheri during the early morning hours.   Then all the followers visited Pujya Niruma at Her memorial and recited prayers in complete harmony in Her subtle presence.  Pujya Deepakbhai then gave everyone a special message for Pujya Niruma’s Punyatithi. He said that Pujya Dadashri has said that Gnanis (Self–realized Ones) never die. From one body to the next, they continue their work to ensure the salvation of the world.  Pujya Deepakbhai then put a garland on Pujya Dadashri and Pujya Niruma’s photo which resides at Her memorial. This was followed by arati of Lord Simandhir Swami and Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan. After prasad, there was a whole hour of Swaroop Kirtan Bhakti (devotional singing of the real Self) followed by a special CD of Pujya Niruma. In the afternoon the Akram-Diksha Ceremony of Sadhaks (spiritual aspirants) going to Aptasinchan started with the launch of Audio books of Param Pujya Dadashri’s vani (speech).   Then the main event of the Samarpan Vidhi (Akram-Diksha Ceremony) started. 12 celibate boys and 15 celibate girls surrendered themselves to Param Pujya Dadashri’s cause of Jagat Kalyan (Salvation of the world) whole heartedly and a life of celibacy. The Sadhaks are joining Aptasinchan with the blessings of their parents, relatives, friends and all of Pujya Dada’s followers. Next, Pujya Deepakbhai announced the progression for the already dedicated Aptasankul members, as they take a step forward in their spiritual path.   At night, there was a very heart touching bhakti session with a very nice composition of pads of Pujya Niruma, which made all the followers feel Pujya Niruma’s live presence.   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/the-celebration-of-pujya-niruma-s-8th-punyatithi/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/the-celebration-of-pujya-niruma-s-8th-punyatithi/ Thu, 20 March 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-nirumas-punyatithi/ On 19 March, Pujya Niruma left Her mortal body eight years ago, however it seems that She still walks among us. Looking back at what Param Pujya Dadashri had said about Pujya Niruma, we can get a small glimpse of what He saw in Her. On 20 March, 1970 Pujya Dadashri said, “She is a doctor, born in a Vaishnav … family, and today She is an Atmagnani—holds the knowledge of the Self.” And on 29 November, 1972 He said, “This Niru may be young, but who ever will do Her darshan, will be liberated.” It is clear to all that Her entire being is for the salvation of the world! By strictly following Pujya Dadashri’s agna of not seeing anyone’s faults, She was able to become an embodiment of love and thus became the Mother of the entire world! Pujya Niruma passed away in a state of absolute samadhi (a blissful passing away resulting from being in the state of Pure Soul awareness and complete detachment from the body) and Her parting message to all was, "Live with Love...Promise?" Even today, Pujya Niruma's subtle spiritual presence continues to give everyone inner strength in their daily endeavor to emulate the purity and love She has personified.    https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-nirumas-punyatithi/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-nirumas-punyatithi/ Tue, 18 March 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-surendranagar-mar-2014/ 2000 new seekers took Self Realization through Gnan Vidhi Ceremony in Surendranagar, India on 15th March. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-surendranagar-mar-2014/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-surendranagar-mar-2014/ Mon, 17 March 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/sanctification-ceremony-of-the-trimandir-in-surendranagar/ On 16 March, Pujya Deepakbhai in the presence of 15,000 people (followers and non-followers alike), performed the Pran-Pratishtha (sanctification ceremony) of the idols in the Trimandir (Non-sectarian Temple) in Surendranagar (Gujarat), India. The entire ceremony was web-cast live. The Trimandir radiated with divine energies throughout the whole event and the subtle presence of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, Pujya Niruma and Dev-Devis was felt throughout the day.  Idols of Lord Simandhar Swami, Lord Krishna and Lord Shiva, the three major religions in India, as well as idols of other Gods and Goddesses (including Lord Ganesh, Lord Hanuman, Shri Saibaba, Lord Mahavir, Amba Mataji, Padmavati Devi, Chakreshvari Mataji and Chamunda Mataji – just to name a few) are housed under the roof of the Trimandir. Pujya Deepakbhai performed the Pran-Pratishtha of all the idols in the morning. After which He requested all attendees who were watching in person and in the live webcast to do bhaav that the divisions of opinions (matbhed) between all the religions of the world are broken. That the living Lord Simandhar Swami’s presence spreads throughout the entire world providing permanent peace and happiness to all, and opens up the path for spiritual progress to all visitors so that they too can benefit and attain moksha (liberation). The temple was then open for darshan.  In the afternoon Pujya Deepakbhai performed the puja and arati of all the idols, while all the attendees ecstatically sang songs of bhakti. In the evening to celebrate the joyous occasion a bhakti and garba session was held in the presence of Pujya Deepakbhai.                                     On 18 March, Pujya Deepakbhai performed the Dwar (Door) Opening Ceremony, followed by puja and arati, of all the Lords - officially opening up the Trimandir for darshan. The sevarthis (volunteers) who helped ensure the smooth running of events, had the special opportunity to spend time with Pujya Deepakbhai in a satsang session with Him. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/sanctification-ceremony-of-the-trimandir-in-surendranagar/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/sanctification-ceremony-of-the-trimandir-in-surendranagar/ Mon, 17 March 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/the-festival-of-holi/ This year, people in India and around the world are celebrating the festival of Holi, on 16 March 2014. But with what understanding should one celebrate Holi? Is it the simple act of making a bonfire and performing rituals? In reality, one should surrender one’s weaknesses, namely: anger, pride, deceit and greed into the fire of the Holi. How do we do this? Just as we stand at a distance and see the Holi burning, but do not get burnt, we can stay separate and see our anger, pride, deceit and greed as separate from us. This is possible with Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s spiritual science of Akram Vignan. This spiritual science begins with a two hour experiment called the Gnan Vidhi (Self Realization) ceremony. During this ceremony the properties of the Self and the non-self are separated, allowing one to become worry-free and unaffected from externally-induced problems and their resultant suffering (upadhi). In order to spend the rest of your life experiencing the everlasting bliss of the Self (nirakudata) attend the Gnani Vidhi (Self Realization) ceremony: http://www.dadabhagwan.org/gnan-vidhi-knowledge-of-self/what-is-gnan-vidhi/   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/the-festival-of-holi/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/the-festival-of-holi/ Sat, 15 March 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/live-webcast-of-surendranagar-trimandir-pran-pratistha-and-niruma-s-punyatithi-celebration/   The live webcast of Surendranagar Trimandir Pran Pratistha and Niruma’s Punyatithi Celebration will be webcasted live.   The Link for the live webcast is: http://new.livestream.com/dadabhagwanlive/ & the webcasting will occur at the following times.          Surendranagar Trimandir Pran Pratistha Sunday, 16  March 9:30AM - 1:00PM Pran Pratistha Sunday, 16  March 4:00PM - 7:00PM Pujan - Aarti               Niruma’s Punyatithi Celebration   Wednesday, 19 March 4:30PM – 6:30PM Celebration     Please Note: All Timings are India Timings, therefore, please calculate your local time accordingly.

This year the festival is on 27 February 2014. It is the day that devotees of Lord Shiva observe a fast and keep vigil all night. So on this auspicious day, let us find out what Param Pujya Dadashri, says about Lord Shiva. Dadashri says that the one who becomes the embodiment of salvation (kalyan swaroop) is called Shiva. ‘Shiva’ itself means kalyan swaroop, or Savior. So in reality any human being who attains 'Self Realization' achieves the internal state of 'Shiva.' Achieving this state implies that one has swallowed all the poisons (abuses and insults) given to him in this world, with equanimity and yet offered blessings to others, hence becoming Shiva. Param Pujya Dadashri became the embodiment of salvation, when he achieved spontaneous Self Realization (experience of the Soul) in June 1958. He used to impart the same knowledge of the Self, to others, in just 2 hours. Pujya Dr. Niruma attained Self Realization from Pujya Dadashri in 1968. Currently, Pujya Deepakbhai continues to grace seekers with the Self Realization Ceremony. You too can attend a Self Realization Ceremony with Pujya Deepakbhai. Thereafter by observing the five Agnas (fundamental principles) you can attain ultimate salvation and achieve the internal state of Shiva.

Teenage boys with balloons, on motorcycles escorted Pujyashree to the Dada Nagar Satsang Hall from his home. This was followed by children of all ages, 3 to 21 years, both boys and girls welcoming Pujyashree into the hall, by covering the floor with flowers for him to walk on.   Then a parade, lead by Pujyashree, followed by all the children, escorted him to his seat. The theme for the entire event was how the children were before they started coming to children’s satsang and how they had changed subsequently. The performances started with an interesting Shadow Dance performed by teenage boys. The shadow dance was followed by a dazzling drama dance, which was performed by babies aged 3 to 7 years, little children aged 8 to 12 years and teenage girls aged 13 to 21 years. The dances were followed by a photo session with Pujya Deepakbhai. After that all the children had the great opportunity to ask Pujyashree questions in a special Q & A session especially for them. Here is a sample of the questions asked, which the children obtained the right understanding for from Pujyashree, “How can I concentrate in my studies?”, “I get irritated when someone teases me, what should I do?”, “I get upset with my mom when she doesn’t make my favorite food?”, “How did you become a Gnani (The Awakened One)?”, “What is Mahavideh Kshetra?”, “Where is Simandhar Swami?” and “When it comes to studying I am very lazy, how should I motivate myself?” And last but not least, all the children bade farewell to Pujyashree after they all had a scrumptious dinner together. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/adalaj-special-children-s-session/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/adalaj-special-children-s-session/ Sun, 23 February 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-bhuj-feb-2014/ In Bhuj, 1000  new people took Gnan Vidhi (Self realization ceremony) on 17th February. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-bhuj-feb-2014/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-bhuj-feb-2014/ Mon, 17 February 2014

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-valentines-day/ February 14th, also known as Valentine’s Day, is a day where people from around the world and all walks of life, celebrate love. But should love only be celebrated for one day? How about for one year? Or better yet a life time? And if we do celebrate love for a life time, then what type of love should it be? Should it just be love or should it be true love? And if we celebrate true love then what is true love? How can we recognize it? Gnani Purush Dada Bhagwan says that the qualities of true love include not seeing even a single fault in the other person. He says that true love is a steady inner feeling that neither rises nor falls as per the other person’s appearance, their actions, or one’s own circumstances. That’s probably why it is said that true love never dies. These are the qualities of true or pure love and these qualities set true love apart from illusions such as attraction or infatuation. If our love does not waiver depending on the other person’s actions, their appearance and our circumstances then there remains no room for conflict, grudges, and revenge. This in itself gives rise to a flawless vision. And Dadashri calls this supreme love and in order to become the living embodiment of pure love, He says you need to know your Real Self! Are you eager to know and realize true love? Then why don’t you come and take the first step by attending a Self-Realization Ceremony. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-valentines-day/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/happy-valentines-day/ Thu, 13 February 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/rajkot-special-childrens-session/ On 11th February, children from Rajkot (Gujarat), India had a special session with Pujya Deepakbhai.

A Constitution means that a body of fundamental principles helps a country’s leaders govern it. The main purpose of a Constitution is to strengthen the country’s government. This in turn, protects the citizens of that country and allows the country to pay off its debts. It also enables the country to make advances in its foreign affairs, and prevent problems between states as well as prevent local issues. Just like a Constitution helps, and protects us, so does Self Realization. How does Self Realization help us? It helps us understand and achieve the goal of human life. It helps free us from the endless cycle of birth and death, and more importantly it helps us attain permanent happiness. The way a Constitution allows a country to remain at peace, in the same way Self-Realization allows you to experience peace in your everyday life…So why deprive yourself from the realizing your true Self?   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/what-does-republic-day-january-26-have-to-do-with-permanent-happiness/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/what-does-republic-day-january-26-have-to-do-with-permanent-happiness/ Wed, 22 January 2014 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/do-you-know-why-we-fly-kites-on-january-14/ As January 14th comes around, everyone becomes preoccupied with flying kites. Like all festivals this festival also has significance, but what is it? Rushimunis (Sages with great spiritual power and saints) and Param Pujya Dadashri have said that the rays of the sun on this day are extremely special. If the rays of the sun go into our eyes on this day, then it is very beneficial to you. So the real significance of the festival is actually to let the sun’s rays penetrate your eyes, not to fly kites.

Instead what one should do is pray for the departed Soul, this way they will actually experience peace wherever they are. In addition, you can also feed someone in the name of the departed Soul and the happiness they feel when they eat the food, will reach the departed Soul. This is another way that they will experience peace.

During the session, Pujya Deepakbhai explained that fear is in fact a result of dislike (abhaav). Dislike for a person or object leads to contempt (tiraskar), which turns into abhorrence (dwesh), whose outcome is fear. To bring this point home, Pujya Deepakbhai used the example of a policeman and a monk (sadhu). One feels fear for a policeman when he suddenly comes to our home because in the root there is the feeling of abhorrence against policemen, whereas when a monk comes to our home one has a different reaction. One actually welcomes him with open arms because there is no feeling of dislike against monks and therefore one does not fear them.

But these were no ordinary carols, they came with a twist!

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/anand-satsang-highlights-dec-2013/ There was a large audience that showed up for the satsang in Anand (Gujarat), India on 8th December. The hall was completely filled with people from the many surrounding villages and towns in the Charotar area. Here are some questions from that spiritual discourse: Questioner : How much injustice do we have to accept? Pujya Deepakbhai : There is more injustice going on inside our body, than there is from the outside. Questioner : When I see the bad and impure conduct of any Saint, I lose faith in religion. Pujya Deepakbhai : Does a Saint never vomit? We have to focus on the knowledge and understanding of the Saint. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/anand-satsang-highlights-dec-2013/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/anand-satsang-highlights-dec-2013/ Mon, 09 December 2013 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/adalaj-satsang-highlights-dec-2013/ Here are some questions from the morning satsang session with Pujyashree Deepakbahi on 6th December in Adalaj (Gujarat), India: Questioner : What is the reason behind building a temple? Pujya Deepakbhai : The reason behind building a temple is that, say if you see a theater / multiplex, then what will that remind you of? An actor! So when one sees a temple then one remembers God. Questioner : Why do we need to cover our mouth with a handkerchief when we go to do the darshan of Simandhar Swami Bhagwan in the Trimandir? Pujya Deepakbhai : Can you go to your teacher while you are chewing a pan, or smoking? In the same way, the reason for covering your mouth is humility (vinaya). It ensures that when we go near Simandhar Swami Bhagwan our breath or even our spit doesn’t touch Swami. Questioner : What is the effect of speech? Pujya Deepakbhai : If a stone hits you does it not leave an effect on your body? In the same way, speech also affects the ego of the other person. Negative speech is like throwing a stone on someone while positive speech is like throwing flowers on someone. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/adalaj-satsang-highlights-dec-2013/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/adalaj-satsang-highlights-dec-2013/ Fri, 06 December 2013 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/bhavnagar-special-children-s-session/ To celebrate Pujya Niruma’s 70th Birthday, a special session for children was kept in Bhavnagar (Gujarat), India on 2nd December.   Because it was Niruma’s Birthday, all the presentations were about Niruma. Little children aged 8 to 10 years, as well as teenagers aged 13 to 21 years, both boys and girls presented very nice dances on spiritual songs dedicated to Niruma. They also presented poems on Niruma, and shared memories of Niruma. All the children then had the incredible opportunity to ask  Pujyashree Deepakbhai questions in a session especially for them. Altogether the children asked nearly 40 to 50 questions. Here is a glimpse of the questions asked by the children to Pujyashree:   Questioner : I distributed pamphlets about this special children’s session to my friends, but then some of them made fun of it and threw it into the dustbin. Pujya Deepakbhai : It’s ok! We have to understand that they do not know the value of the Soul (Atma). Do you know if we give a diamond to a shepherd, what will he do? Because he will not know the value of the diamond, he will consider it a stone and tie it around his neck. However if you give the same diamond to a jeweler, he will make optimum use of it. Questioner : How far is God from us? Pujya Deepakbhai : He’s nearest to us! God is the most nearest to you! And your ego is the furthest from you. Pujyashree Deepakbhai https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/bhavnagar-special-children-s-session/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/bhavnagar-special-children-s-session/ Tue, 03 December 2013 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/bhavnagar-satsang-highlights-dec-2013/ Some interesting questions that arose during Pujyashree Deepakbhai’s discourses in Bhavnagar (Gujarat), India on 29th and 30th November were: Questioner: Who is a Real Sanyasi (monk)? Pujya Deepakbhai: The One who doesn’t stay in their body, in their speech or in their thoughts, but stays in their Soul, He is called a Real Sanyasi. Param Pujya Gnani Purush Dada Bhagwan was like that. Questioner: Why does one need to go to moksha (liberation)? Pujya Deepakbhai: If you don’t like the unhappiness in this world then moksha is for you. However if you are okay with the unhappiness, then you can continue to push other people around and you can continue getting pushed around by others. Questioner: Why does someone die early in their family? Pujya Deepakbhai: A family is like a train compartment. Some people are on the train from the very first station and then some of those people get down at a station in between. Other people join the train from a station in between and then there are others that stay on the train till the very end. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/bhavnagar-satsang-highlights-dec-2013/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/bhavnagar-satsang-highlights-dec-2013/ Tue, 03 December 2013 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-bhavnagar-dec-2013/ 1000 new seekers took Self Realization through Gnan Vidhi Ceremony in Bhavnagar, India on 1st December. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-bhavnagar-dec-2013/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-bhavnagar-dec-2013/ Mon, 02 December 2013 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-savarkundla-nov-2013/ In Savarkundla, 1000  new people took Gnan Vidhi (Self realization ceremony) on 27th November. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-savarkundla-nov-2013/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-savarkundla-nov-2013/ Thu, 28 November 2013 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-baroda-nov-2013/ On 24th November , 825 new seekers attained Self Realization through Gnan Vidhi Ceremony in Baroda, India. soulja boy MP3 MUSIC metallica MP3 MUSIC the rolling stones MP3 MUSIC tom petty MP3 MUSIC jennifer lopez MP3 MUSIC lady gaga MP3 MUSIC rihanna MP3 MUSIC lmfao MP3 MUSIC justin bieber MP3 MUSIC timbaland MP3 MUSIC https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-baroda-nov-2013/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-baroda-nov-2013/ Mon, 25 November 2013 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/106th-janma-jayanti-celebration-in-bharuch/ Dada Bhagwan’s 106th Janma Jayanti (birth anniversary) was celebrated in a grand manner in Bharuch (Gujarat), India from 13th November to 17th November. There were numerous highlights during the 5 day event. Not only was there a Theme Park designed for people of all ages, there was also an entire Children’s Park especially for children. The Children’s Park included theme based exhibitions, play zones, puppet shows, animation films, and many other interactive activities. Before this event, volunteers showed 50,000 children from 106 schools a presentation on Dada Bhagwan, out of which children from 27 schools came and gave excellent presentations on various topics such as saints, Spiritual Masters and devotional worship (bhakti). The presentations were made in an Amphitheatre that was specially created for the event. psy MP3 MUSIC adele MP3 MUSIC pitbull MP3 MUSIC akon MP3 MUSIC the beatles MP3 MUSIC beyonce MP3 MUSIC drake MP3 MUSIC lil wayne MP3 MUSIC michael jackson MP3 MUSIC Daft Punk MP3 MUSIC Here is a glimpse of the questions asked by attendees: Questioner: Please explain the difference between humility (vinaya) and absolute humility (param vinay)? Pujyashree: Vinaya is what one feels for a Guru, while param vinaya refers to what one feels for the Enlightened One (Gnani Purush). Questioner: What is the shape of the Soul? Pujyashree: It’s like water, which takes the shape of the glass it is poured into. In the same way, the Soul takes the shape of the body it is in. Questioner: What is the difference between the feeling (bhaav) of devotion and dedication (aradhana) and the feeling (bhaav) of disrespect (viradhana)? Pujyashree: To climb stairs is aradhana and to break down stairs is viradhana. While reading a newspaper, how many negative bhaav arises within, all those bhaav are viradhak bhaav. Questioner: I have heard that one should let the ego flow, not to hold it. What does this mean? Pujyashree: When we go beyond the present into the past or into the future, the ego is not flowing. When we are prejudice we have brought the past into the present – doing this disturbs everything. While having an opinion means we are bringing the future into the present – this also disturbs everything. Questioner: I can see that Param Pujya Dadashri’s followers are completely intoxicated by Dadashri, what is the scientific reason behind this? Pujyashree: There is a reason. Why does one get married, to become happy? Everyone is trying various means to become happy, whether it is by getting married, owning a business, having children etc. But no one is obtaining happiness. Only through Dadashri, are his followers getting real happiness, which is why they are intoxicated by Dadashri. Pujyashree also shared a few details regarding Dadashri, here are a few of them: It is very difficult to describe Dadashri; one has to be a perfect jeweler to know the true worth of a diamond. It is not possible to find such a person in this time. Pujya Dada Bhagwan decided to wait and not attain ultimate salvation just yet, because of three things: 1) He believed that there should be way for married people to go to liberation (moksha) 2) He believed that women should also be able to progress on the path to moksha and that they should be able to attain an advanced stage in the experience of the Soul. 3) And he wanted to figure out who is running this world – because of this he discovered that the world is run on the natural energy of scientific circumstantial evidences (vyavasthit shakti). Dadashri has complete oneness, first with all his followers, then with all the remaining human beings and subsequently with all the living beings in the world. Janma Jayanti Day Photo showing glimpses of the spectacular celebration in Bharuch. A special discourse session with Pujyashree was organized for the 2700 volunteers who worked tirelessly during the Janma Jayanti event. Here is an awesome experience showing the dedication, grace, sincerity, and service (seva) without the inner hidden enemies of anger, pride, deceit and greed. Due to non-stop rain, an enormous amount of water had collected on the grounds where the event was to be celebrated. It was deemed impossible to hold this event but Dadashri’s followers, from the surrounding areas collectively gave continuous service for 1 month prior to the event, in order to help take out all the water. They did not return to their own lands to take care of their crops, in fact they used their personal tractors for this event and for their agricultural needs they hired tractors and paid rent for them. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/106th-janma-jayanti-celebration-in-bharuch/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/106th-janma-jayanti-celebration-in-bharuch/ Fri, 22 November 2013 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-bharuch-nov-2013/ 2700 new seekers took Self Realization through Gnan Vidhi Ceremony in Bharuch, India on 17th November.

Cleaning homes, lighting lamps, burning fire crackers, and going to worship at the Temple is symbolic of light overcoming darkness. There are several mythological legends that are behind the celebration of Diwali since time immemorial. In northern India, Diwali is celebrated to commemorate the joyful return of Lord Rama from exile to Ayodhya after killing Ravana, which indicated the dawn of positivity and light. While in Southern India, Diwali is commemorated to revere Lord Vishnu who killed the demon Bali. Lord Krishna killed the mighty Narakasura on this day as well.  The Sikhs celebrate this day to commemorate the return of their Guru Hargovind Ji from detention; whereas the Jains celebrate the day to mark the nirvana (ultimate freedom from the cycle of birth and death) of Lord Mahavir. On 3rd November, in Adalaj(Gujarat, India) Diwali was celebrated with a grand night of bhakti in the Tri-Mandir in the presence of all the Gods and Goddesses, and everyone’s beloved Pujya Deepakbhai. After the night of bhakti, the Indian New Year started with a celebration of food called ‘Annakut.’ It is a grand offering of food to Lord Krishna, which represents gratitude to the Lord for his blessings. Pujya Deepakbhai lovingly fed items from ‘Annakut’ to Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan and Pujya Niruma. The ‘Annakut’ was left for darshan for all in attendance and was later distributed to visitors and followers as Prasad (food offered to God). Pujya Deepakbhai’s New Year message to all of Dada’s followers was to keep awareness on who is the real doer in this world. He reminded them to recognize that the circumstances are the ‘doer.’ Scientific circumstantial evidences come together in order for any event to occur.  The New Year message was followed by the devotional viewing of God (darshan). Param Pujya Dadashri had said that on the Indian New Year day, He is in the absolute state and so by doing His darshan on this day, one can reap tremendous benefit. Over 9000 followers came to do darshan of Pujya Deepakbhai on this auspicious day. Diwali is not a celebration where one should only brighten their external home, but it is also a celebration where one should brighten their internal home, their Soul. This would remove all kinds of darkness from their life, forever. With the help of the Spiritual Knowledge of the Self one can defeat the darkness of their inner enemies; their anger, pride, attachment and greed. So, why not make 2014 a truly auspicious year, by bidding farewell to the inner darkness forever, via the Scientific Process of Self Realization?

A majority of the new followers became completely engrossed in repeating the sentences spoken by Pujyashree Deepakbhai during the Self Realization ceremony. The hall resonated in synchronization with the Spiritual Master’s (Gnani’s) words right after he had spoken them. It was indeed a truly extraordinary experience, as later commented by Pujyashree himself.   Some interesting questions that arose during Pujyashree Deepakbhai’s discourses in Kanpur were: Questioner: Everyone I meet in life is selfish, why is it so? Pujyashree: Do you know what the meaning of worldly life (sansaar) is? In worldly life, everyone is a businessman; they are all concerned about their personal gain. There is only one person in the world, The Awakened One (Gnani) who is not a businessman. He does not want anything from you at all! Questioner: How should I adjust to different personalities? Pujyashree: It’s easy! You are already doing it by taking adjustments with Mother Nature. When you are dealing with an angry person, then think of it as summertime. If you are dealing with someone who is crying, then think of it as monsoon season. And if you are dealing with a quiet person then it is winter time. Questioner: I have always walked on the righteous path but have never found peace. Pujyashree: It is because of your insistence of righteousness and your belief that, “I am right and all these other people are wrong.” This belief creates the disturbances that are stopping you from finding peace. Experience: A new follower also had an experience that is worth sharing, “I was eating non-vegetarian food before, but after watching your discourses on television I have stopped. However, my family still continues to eat non-vegetarian food.” https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-kanpur-oct-2013/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-kanpur-oct-2013/ Mon, 28 October 2013 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-jabalpur-oct-2013/ 415 new seekers took Self Realization through Gnan Vidhi Ceremony in Jabalpur, India on 26th October. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-jabalpur-oct-2013/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-jabalpur-oct-2013/ Fri, 25 October 2013

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/inauguration-of-a-movable-and-magical-satsang-hall/ Just a day before the event Paryushan Parayan 2013 in Adalaj,Gujarat(India), a new hall of 100,000 sq. ft was inaugurated by Pujyashree Deepakbhai in presence of thousands of followers. It is then followed by the prayer dance for Jagat Kalyan by kids and arti of Lord Shri Simandhar Swami and Param Pujya Dadashri.  Although this new hall can currently accommodate 15,000 followers, it is flexible enough to accommodate more followers coming for satsang in Adalaj. This is because it has the power to expand in any direction to do so.  Structure was completely planned and built just within 5 months, has a steel construction that can be easily detach and re-assemble at a new piece of land, if needed. Furthermore, the hall has been made in such a way that no outside sound can penetrate inside to disturb the followers listening to the satsang. For all of us, this is no less than a magical hall due to its immense features, just like Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan accommodating everyone in his ever-expanding train to Mahavideh. Also, care is taken for enough ventilation so that fresh air always keeps listeners fresh and comfortable. One can definitely feel and experience the coolness and calmness of inner and outer under its shade in the presence of Pujyashree Deepakbhai. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/inauguration-of-a-movable-and-magical-satsang-hall/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/inauguration-of-a-movable-and-magical-satsang-hall/ Tue, 03 September 2013 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-pune-aug-2013/ In Pune,India, 1800 new people took Gnan Vidhi (Self realization ceremony) on 25th August.   https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-pune-aug-2013/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-pune-aug-2013/ Mon, 26 August 2013

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-surat-gujarat-jan-2013/ In Surat, Gujrat(India), 1500 new people took Gnan Vidhi (Self realization ceremony) on 27th january. Couple of nice experiences!..   By the divine grace we could put Dada stall at the Surat Railway Station (Place Where Dada got realization in 1958.) All Dada material is available there and mostly non mahatma who travels thru train takes benefit of getting dada material from there. Mahatma in 2 batch gives sewa at the stall. They were sharing nice experiences… Once a seeker was buying books from the stall and suddenly his train started. He in hurry tried to get on the moving train but slipped and fell below in the pit between train and platform. Whole train passed while he was still in pit. Stall mahatma started praying to Dada for his safety but which seemed highly unlikely. Due to his karma and grace he came out of the pit with little injury and he was then sharing with stall mahatma that i was saved due to grace of Dada. Yesterday 15 coolies came to take gnan. Many coolies start the day by coming to stall and praying to dada. One mahatma was sharing that coolie on seeing people in white dress first inquire whether you are Dada mahatma and if answer is affirmative then refuses to take money . A mahatma was sharing that he used to drink a lot before gnan. But after Gnanvidhi his drinking automatically stopped and looking at change in him his whole group of 500 (many heavy drinkers like him) has already taken gnan. Most of them are regularly asking for strength to come out of their bad habit. A mahatma was sharing that on his visit to Belgium (many diamond merchant in diamond city) his purse with money inside got lost, he immediately could remember Dada aagna and with ease had Daal-Bhat  (in belgium!!) (Rice-Curry) in dinner and went to sound sleep. Even in his business in surat he before gnan used to fight and beat and get his due back but after gnan  he now tries casually and if money is not recovered then Celebrates. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-surat-gujarat-jan-2013/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-surat-gujarat-jan-2013/ Tue, 29 January 2013

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/inauguration-of-dvds-and-games-dec-2012/ The inauguration of  a two-sided board game Ticket to Mahavideh and Game of Karma and DVD set for Kids as well as a DVD set for Pati Patni no Divya Vyavhar†was done by Pujya Deepakbhai during the Bhavnagar Janma Jayanti. The game "Ticket To Mahavideh" and "Game Of Karma" is available in all three languages; Gujarati, English and Hindi. The game teaches children about the losses they incur if they become involved in unhealthy competition, are greedy, disrespect their elders, hurt others and many such wrongful behaviors. It shows the importance of getting rid of these kashayas and striving to be good human beings. The game encourages the understanding within them that if they become free from karmas, then no one can stop them from going to Mahavideh Kshetra and reaching Simandhar Swami and attaining salvation. The Kids DVD Anand Ullhas (joy and delight) is especially designed for the kids, where they are served Pujya Dadashri's gnan with fun and joy. There is information about GNC, puppet show, moral story and golden moments where kids have spent time with Pujya Deepakbhai. The DVD set Pati Patni no Divya Vyahar (Harmony in marriage) contains spiritual discourses by Pujya Niruma where many people have found practical solutions to their marital life problems. Niruma has showed them how to apply Param Pujya Dadashri's Akram Vignan in their daily familial interactions and gain a new perspective to live their marital life in harmony and bliss. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/inauguration-of-dvds-and-games-dec-2012/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/inauguration-of-dvds-and-games-dec-2012/ Tue, 04 December 2012 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-kolkata-dec-2012/ 300 new seekers took Self Realization through Gnan Vidhi Ceremony in Kolkata (India) on 2nd December. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-kolkata-dec-2012/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-kolkata-dec-2012/ Mon, 03 December 2012

Our day began with a parade in honor of Pujya Niruma, followed by an inspiring message from Pujya Deepakbhai at Pujya Niruma's samadhi (memorial). In an atmosphere saturated with divine presence, he reminded us of Pujya Niruma's three main requests: Live forever in the spirit of pure love Continuously serve the spiritual upliftment of all beings Exclusively desire full realization of Pure Soul View All Photos That afternoon, a special DVD showcased Pujya Niruma's remarkable life  with a focus on the unconditional love that she embodied. No eyes remained dry in the satsang hall! In the evening, our extended community gathered to witness a special ceremony for the brahmacharya group (a select group focused upon celibacy and self-less service).  New members were announced, while others were celebrated for an elevation of their spiritual stage and status. Everyone present (children, adults, and seniors; married and unmarried; mahatmas of every religious orientation) were inspired and renewed in their spiritual journey. Pujya Niruma's spirit continues to be felt by us all. Her touch upon our lives remains ever-fresh, and we remain inspired to live the divine qualities that she embodied. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-niruma-s-6th-punyatithi/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/pujya-niruma-s-6th-punyatithi/ Sat, 24 March 2012 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-adalaj-india-mar-2012/ 2300 new seekers took Self Realization through Gnan Vidhi Ceremony in Adalaj (Gujarat), India on 18th March.

A temple for spiritual advancement where the essence of worship is brought alive. In Trimandir, the idols of all major religions HINDUS, VAISHNAVS AND JAINS i.e. Lord Shiva, Lord Krishna and Living Lord Simandhar Swami are placed on a single platform. The most important thing is that Shree Simandhar Swami is living god. He is directly accessible and has a physical body. He presently lives and moves about as a Tirthankar inMahavideh Kshetra.

Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/istar-2011/ iSTAR-2011 (International Spiritual Teen Akram Retreat) was held this August successfully for the second year running. The response was overwhelming, with 50 teenagers coming to Simandhar City from various countries: USA, UK, Kenya, Dubai, New Zealand, Abu Dhabi and Singapore. Over the fifteen-day retreat, they learned and experienced Spiritual Science, Indian Culture, Keys to Happiness through Positive Thinking and imbibed Scientific Understanding through Satsangs, Seva Activities, Sports and an exciting 5-day Tour.   The retreat was divided in two parts: (1) The first half took place in Simandhar City, whereby the participants experienced bliss by interacting with various groups of people: Aptaputra bhaios and behnos; Sevarthi Mahatmas; Young MHT Boys & Girls and Pujyashree Deepakbhai. (2) The second half consisted of a 5-day Tour to North India. The tour covered culturally and spiritually monumental places like India Gate, Mahatma Gandhi Smriti, Lotus Temple, Swami Narayan Akshardham (All in New Delhi); the Taj Mahal and Red Fort in Agra and finally, Jaipur visiting the famous Jantar-Mantar (scientific clock designed on Sun rays). In Jaipur, the participants had a once in a life-time opportunity to get a glimpse of The Making of Simandhar Swami from raw stone to sculptures. They got to understand the whole process of Swami's Pran Pratistha by Pujya Niruma and Pujyashree Deepakbhai. The interactive sessions during the retreat were based on daily-life situations covering topics such as: Positivity, Avoiding Bad Company, Peer Pressure, Effects of wanting to make an Impression on Others, Imagined Negativity and Unhappiness. These sessions were delivered in fun-filled ways through activities, games, presentations and discussions including question-answer sessions with Aptaputra bhaios and behnos and Pujyashree Deepakbhai Himself. This year the participants were also offered a chance to learn Gujarati and by the end of iSTAR some of them were successfully reading a page from Pujya Dada Bhagwan's spiritual books. The iSTAR Participants were very privileged (punyashali) to attend the celebration of two auspicious Indian religious events: (1) Rakshabandhan and (2) Lord Krishna Janmastami in the presence of Atma Gnani Pujyashree Deepakbhai. They all received a special Rakhdi (wrist band) blessed by Pujyashree to tie on their own wrist as a protection from The Gnani Purush for their spiritual progress to Moksha. The Janmastami evening began with devotional Aartis at the Tri-Mandir and the evening turned to night as the participants joined in singing devotional hymns to Lord Krishna. Everyone was thrilled with the grand finale of Pujyashree performing the traditional act of breaking the Matki (pot of butter) a mark of Lord Krishna's birth. Finally, everyone asked for forgiveness (Pratikraman) for any hurt caused knowingly or unknowingly towards anyone during the 15-day retreat. They shared their wonderful experiences and shared useful suggestions for the next iSTAR retreat. The 2011 iSTAR participants bid reluctant farewells with the promise to return next year and for years to come, either as a Participant or as a Coordinator. They felt that through this blissful retreat they experienced a lot with Fun and Gnan, which would help them to live a balanced life by applying Pujya Dadashri's Spiritual Science in day-to-day situations with the ultimate goal to attain Moksha. https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/istar-2011/ https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/istar-2011/ Sun, 11 September 2011 Dada Bhagwan Egroup https://blog.dadabhagwan.org/latestupdates/self-realization-ceremony-in-adalaj-india-sep-2011/ 2300 new seekers took Self-realization through Gnan vidhi Ceremony in Simandhar City (Adalaj, Gujarat, India) on 4th September.
