Celebrating his virtues
“Even kings and emperors with heaps of wealth and vast dominion cannot compare with an ant filled with the love of God.”
Enlightened Masters through the ages have taken birth to become guiding lights to show others the path to self-realisation. Without any expectations of praise or adulation, they leave footprints in the sands of time as luminous beacons for any soul desirous of saving self from the endless abyss of births and deaths.
Celebrating the birth of every enlightened Master is the most auspicious occasion in the life of every disciple.
Mumukshus of Shree Raj Saubhag Ashram, Sayla experienced this overflowing love and gratitude while collectively celebrating Param Krupalu Dev Shrimad Rajchandra’s birthday on Kartik Purnima (12 November 2019) in the presence of their own Guru, Param Pujya Bhaishree.
The auspicious day began with meditation (dhyaan), agna bhakti and Dev Vandan. At 10:30 AM all the mumukshus (seekers of liberation) participated in a ceremonial procession (shobha yatra) in the presence of Bhaishree and all Brahmanishth. Enthusiastically dancing to the divine melodies, every heart was full of gratitude for Param Krupalu Dev.
In her initial discourse Brahmanishth Minalben mentioned that our existence would be full of darkness if Shrimadji was not part of our lives.
During Param Satsang, Bhaishree said: “This is a very auspicious day for all Raj Bhakts. All of us are very fortunate to be walking on the path shown by the most divine soul – Shrimad Rajchandra. He is our inspiration. Today is also the birth anniversary of other great souls – Kalikal Sarvagna Hemchandra Acharya, Guru Nanakji and founder of Sthanakwasi sect Lonkasha Muni.
There are over 60 ashrams established in the name of Shrimad Rajchandra all over the country and all of them are celebrating his birth to help us overcome taking an endless number of births. Shrimadji had other exceptional abilities as well such as a phenomenal memory, powers of astrology, amazing power of perception and dexterity with numbers among others, but he realized that these powers and the accompanying fame, were coming in the way of his spiritual growth. Without a second thought, Shrimadji gave up all these accomplishments to pursue spiritual heights.
At this crucial junction, Shrimadji met Saubhagbhai and from here began a historic relationship, where Shrimadji would share with Saugbhagbhai his innermost thoughts and all spiritual milestones that he was rapidly crossing.”
Quoting from letter number 162, Bhaishree mentioned that Shrimadji writes of himself having attained Samyag Darshan and was now on the path towards the supreme Kevalgyaan. Bhaishree said: “In a duration of one and a half – two months, Shrimadji had reached the exalted state of Nirvikalp Samadhi.”
In spite of having to work in a firm trading in diamonds, Shrimadji’s internal state was like that of a sacrosanct saint. During all his worldly activities – whether working, walking, talking, eating – Shrimadji remained uninvolved and detached.
Members of Digamber Jain Sangh from Surendranagar were also present during the morning session. The evening ended with Arti, Mangal Divo, evening Dev Vandan, Atma Siddhi and bhakti. Though the day came to an end, the immense gratitude felt by each and every soul for Param Krupalu Dev multiplied manifold.
Blessed, blessed, blessed is every soul who walks on Bhagwan Mahavir’s path shown by Shrimad Rajchandra.
