भोपाल. ध्यान, पाप को नष्ट करता है और परमात्मा से मिलाता है। तीर्थ में तो शरीर नहाता है पर ध्यान में अंतरात्मा स्नान करती है और शुद्ध होती है। इसलिए आदर सहित परमात्मा का ध्यान करना चाहिए। यह सद्विचार लाल परेड मैदान में संत आसाराम बापू ने सत्संग महोत्सव के समापन पर शनिवार को व्यक्त किए। संत से दीक्षा लेने के लिए यहां सैकड़ों लोग आए थे।

बापू ने कहा कि भगवान की सृष्टि करोड़ों सालों से चल रही है, जहां अन्याय नहीं न्याय होता है। अगर व्यक्ति पाप की तरफ जाएगा तो अंतरात्मा भयभीत करती है, सही करोगे तो मन में निर्भीकता छलकेगी।

तब अवतरित होंगे भगवान
संत आसाराम बापू के प्रवचन सुनने शनिवार को मुख्यमंत्री शिवराज सिंह चौहान भी आए। इस मौके पर बापू ने श्री चौहान से कहा, 'मुख्यमंत्री, हिंदू संस्कृति मिटी तो मानव महाशैतान हो जाएगा। अगर प्रदेश में कोई धार्मिक कार्य होता है, तो प्रशासन को सहयोग करना चाहिए। धार्मिक कार्य होंगे, तो धरती पर भगवान अवतरित होंगे।'

फौज और फकीर की मौज होती है
बापू ने कहा कि संतों को बड़े महलों से कोई लेनादेना नहीं होता। उन्होंने कहा संतों को जहां जाना होता है, वहीं जाते हैं। बापू ने बताया कि एक बार उन्हें छत्तीसगढ़ के पूर्व मुख्यमंत्री अजीत जोगी ने बुलाया पर वे नहीं गए।

श्री जोगी ने उनसे यह भी कहा कि उनके यहां बड़े महात्मा आए हैं फिर भी वे उनके यहां नहीं गए। बापू ने कहा राजा की फौज और फकीर की मौज होती है। यहां आज बड़ी संख्या में श्रोता आए थे।

दीक्षा देकर विदा हुए बापू

ग्वालियर.bapu संत श्री आसाराम आश्रम के तत्वावधान में मेला ग्राउंड पर आयोजित संत आसाराम बापू के दो दिवसीय भागवत सत्संग समारोह के अंतिम दिन बुधवार को भक्तों की खासी भीड़ रही। दीक्षा समारोह में संतश्री से करीब पांच हजार भक्तों गुरु दीक्षा ली।

इसके बाद प्रवचन प्रारम्भ हुए। प्रवचन सुनने के लिए क्षेत्रीय सांसद यशोधरा राजे सिंधिया भी पहुंचीं और उन्होंने बापू की वंदना कर पुष्पहार अर्पित किया।

भक्तों को आशीर्वचन देते हुए बापू ने कहा कि मानव का जन्म लेकर जीव भगवान को भी प्राप्त कर सकता है और 84 लाख योनियों में भी भटक सकता है। मानव योनि जीव की मध्य की अवस्था है, जिससे जीवात्मा ऊध्र्वगामी और अधोगामी दोनों ओर जा सकती है। भगवान राम के गुरु वशिष्ठ और भगवान कृष्ण के गुरु संदीपनि का उदाहरण देते हुए उन्होंने बताया कि वशिष्ठ और संदीपनि मानव होते हुए भी सृष्टि के सृजनकर्ता के गुरु थे। यह मानव की योग्यता की निशानी है।

उन्होंने कहा कि सत्य का संग कराने की व्यवस्था का नाम ही धर्म है। धर्म और अधर्म में दस-दस विशेषताएं होती हैं। धर्म में क्षमा, धैर्य, अस्तेय, शौच, इन्द्रिय निग्रह, ध्येय, वैदिक विद्या, सत्य आदि और अधर्म में दुष्टों का संग, पाप में रुचि, अजितेन्द्रिय, स्वार्थी प्रवृत्ति, लोभ, कृपणता, दूसरों को दुख पहुंचाने की प्रवृत्ति, कामी प्रवृत्ति आदि विशेषताएं होती हैं। सत्संग द्वारा व्यक्ति का कल्याण हो सकता है।

संतश्री ने राजा बलि की कथा सुनाते हुए कहा कि राजा बलि पूर्व जन्म में शराबी थे, लेकिन केवल डेढ़ पल के सत्संग के प्रभाव के कारण महादानी राजा बलि हो गए। सत्संग के प्रभाव पर प्रकाश डालते हुए संत आसाराम बापू ने कहा कि सत्संग के कारण राजा बलि के आगे न केवल स्वयं नारायण को भीख मांगनी पड़ी, बल्कि उनकी अर्धागिनी माता लक्ष्मी को भी हाथ पसारना पड़ा। आध्यात्मिक उन्नति के बिना भौतिक उन्नति संभव नहीं है। आध्यात्मिक उन्नति से जीवन में मधुरता आती है।

मेरे सुख के आगे राष्ट्रपति के सुख भी तुच्छ
बापू ने कहा कि मेरे सुख के आगे बड़े-बड़े राजा, महाराजा, प्रधानमंत्री और राष्ट्रपति को प्राप्त सुख भी तुच्छ हैं। मेरा सुख शाश्वत है, जो बिना कारण के सदैव हंसता रहता है। किसी के पास है, ऐसा सुख? व्यक्ति को शाश्वत सुख की प्राप्ति हेतु ही सदा प्रयत्न करते रहना चाहिए।

कैसे हैं हालचाल?
स्थानीय मेला ग्राउण्ड में नौ अक्टूबर से सुबह शाम चले दो दिवसीय भागवत सत्संग समारोह में भक्तों के भारी सैलाव को देखकर बापू ने ग्वालियरवासियों से विनोदी तरीके से हालचाल पूछे, जिसे सुनकर सभी भक्त बरबस हंस पड़े।

लाफिंग क्लब दैत्य क्लब
बापू ने हंसी के तीन प्रकार दैत्य-दानव हंसी, देव -मानव हंसी और संत-भगवंत हंसी को विस्तार से बताते हुए कहा कि संत-भगवत हंसी में व्यक्ति अंतरात्मा से हंसता है। कभी दुखी होता ही नहीं है। हंसी का कारण हो यह आवश्यक नहीं।

देव-मानव हंसी कारण सहित हंसी होती है, इसमें व्यक्ति स्वयं भी हंसता और दूसरे को भी उसमें शामिल करता है, जबकि दैत्य-दानव हंसी में हंसने का आडम्बर होता है, जिसे हंसना न कहकर अट्टहास कहा जाता है, जिसमें घमंड होता है, थोथापन होता है। रावण, कंस की हंसी दैत्य-दानव हंसी थी।

इसी प्रकार लाफिंग क्लब के लोग भी नकली हंसी हंसते हैं, जिसमें अन्दर से किसी भी प्रकार की प्रसन्नता नहीं होती है, बल्कि हंसने का अभिनय किया जाता है। भारत की दैत्य हंसी पाश्चात्य देशों से लौटकर आने के बाद लाफिंग हंसी में परिवर्तित हो गई।

जाओ बाबा अब क्यों खड़े हो
सुबह के सत्र के प्रवचन समाप्त होने के बाद जब श्रद्धालुओं की भीड़ पंडाल में संत आसाराम बापू ने देखी तो उन्होंने भक्तों से अपने-अपने घर जाने को कहा, जिसे सुनकर श्रद्धालु मंच के और समीप आ गये और बापू के जयकारे लगाने लगे।

बापू के बार-बार कहने पर भी जब भक्त पण्डाल छोड़ कर नहीं गए तो बापू ने प्यार से कहा कि जाओ बाबा अब क्यों खड़े हो? अब दो घंटे की रेसिस हो गई है। पेट में चूहे कुश्ती कर रहे होंगे, जाओ पहले पेट पूजा करो। भक्तों की श्रद्धा देख बापू को भी कहना पड़ा-ये कैसा जादू है, हमको भी समझ में न आया।

सांसद यशोधरा राजे को दिया आशीर्वाद
संत आसाराम बापू के प्रवचन सुनने के लिए मेला ग्राउण्ड में पहुंची क्षेत्रीय सांसद श्रीमती यशोधरा राजे सिंधिया ने जब बापू के चरणों में पुष्प हार अर्पित किया तो बापू उन्हें आशीर्वाद देते हुए उसी हार को उनके सिर से लपेट दिया। बापू के अप्रत्याशित प्रेम को देखकर श्रीमती सिंधिया अभिभूत हो गई ।

पांच हजार भक्तों ने ली दीक्षा
बुधवार को लगभग पांच हजार भक्तों ने दीक्षा ग्रहण की। तड़के से ही प्रवचन स्थल पर भक्तों का तांता लग गया। बापू की उपस्थिति में भक्तों ने श्रद्धा और भक्ति के साथ गुरु दीक्षा ली।

भक्तों ने दी बापू को भावभीनी विदाई
संत आसाराम बापू के दो दिवसीय प्रवचन सम्मेलन के अंतिम दिन भक्तों ने अपने प्रिय संत के चरणों में गिरकर जमकर अश्रुपात किया। बापू के प्यार भरे सानिध्य ने भक्तों को प्रेम में ओतप्रोत कर दिया। सजल नेत्रों ने हिचकियां लेते हुए महिलाओं और बच्चों ने अपने संत को भावभीनी विदाई दी, साथ ही बापू से ग्वालियर शीघ्र आने का आश्वासन भी लिया।

Thousands get ‘diksha’ from Asaram Bapu


The Hindustan Times

Allahabad, February 1

IT WAS a moment which once again reflected the faith of thousands of devotees towards their revered guru 'Bapuji' and his teachings to propagate Hindu culture.

Amidst chanting of Vedic mantras, about 25,000 devotees, including a large number of youths, took 'diksha' from Sant Shree Asaram Bapu 'Bapuji' at his Satsang Shivir in Ardh Kumbh Mela area on Thursday. This was the second occasion during the last nine days when such a large number of devotees gathered at the Satsang Shivir, from at least six states, to attend Bapu's three-day 'Shaktipat Camp' and take diksha from their guru.
The diksha programme started at 6.30 am in the morning. But Bapuji's disciples, including a large number of women and youth, started gathering at his Satsang Shivir at around 3 am. A large number of devotees stayed overnight at the camp to avoid any delay in getting diksha. After taking diksha, they remained at the camp till 12 noon and listened to the teachings of Bapuji in the most disciplined and dedicated manner.

Sant Shree Asarama Bapu gave some useful tips to maintain good health by practicing yoga and taking only Ayurvedic medicines. He said: "The pain killers destroy life cells in the body, due to which a person remains unhealthy all through his life. Imbalance of 'vaat', 'pitta' and 'kaf' leads to 132 types of health disorders in the body. This further creates hundreds of other complications. But by following simple steps like having powder of basil (tulsi) leaf in morning one can stay healthy all through his life. The basil seeds also stop aging." Bapuji said he found that people in Allahabad were addicted to tobacco and its products like pan masala. He said due to consumption of these products the people were suffering from skin diseases, gastric disorders and even cancer. "These people should consume butter milk and practice 'pranayam' to get rid of tobacco addiction," he suggested.

Bapuji said few Vedic mantras were very effective in the treatment of heart diseases, high BP, headache and stomach disorders. "Regular chanting of some mantras also gives relief to jaundice patients," he said.



Over 30,000 take ‘diksha’

The Hindustan Times
Smriti Malaviya,
Allahabad, January 23

THE LAST ‘shahi snan’ of Basant Panchami witnessed another congregation of devotees on the banks of the Sangam during the ongoing Ardh Kumbh Mela, on Tuesday.
With beads in their hand and chanting ‘mantras’, over 30,000 devotees from different parts of the country took Vedic ‘diksha’ from Asaram Bapu.

Seated under one roof, the devotees from West Bengal, Punjab, Haryana, Bihar, Gujarat, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh and different parts of Uttar Pradesh took the Vedic ‘diksha’ from Bapu in a blissful ambience.

After the ‘diksha’, they pledged to regularly perform ‘jap’ with mind engrossed in the supreme meaning of the ‘mantra’, observe fast once in a fortnight, eat only ‘satvik’ food and follow the golden principle of ‘Sanatan Dharma’.

Attracted by the huge number of devotees at the ‘Satsang Shivir’, about 500 foreigners also attended Bapu’s discourse on Monday evening. Sewadar and Bapu devotee from America, Deepal Patel said over one lakh Bapu’s disciples had arrived in the Mela area to attend the three-day ‘Satsang Shivir’.

After delivering the ‘diksha’, Bapu said ‘Sadguru’ enlightens a disciple with the essence of his true self, which transcends time and space and the disciple gets liberated from the cycle of birth and death.

The ‘diksha’ aspirants had travelled hundreds of miles and collected at the designated camp at 3.30 am. At least 10,000 of them stayed overnight in the camp and braved the chilly winter winds to avoid the traffic bottlenecks.


Satsang in Paonta Sahib

Pujyashree’s satsang was organised on the 28th and 29th May at Paonta Sahib, the place where the tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singhji practised tapasya, which is also the land of his karma. This place is located on the banks of the Yamuna River, the daughter of the Sun. Pujya Bapuji, the Master of the paths of Knowledge, Devotion and Yoga, through His experiential Knowledge and nectarine precepts, guided the residents of this township founded by Guru Gobind Singhji, on how to achieve smooth and easy progress on these paths (of Knowledge, Devotion and Yoga).
On 29th May, Pujya Bapuji set foot in the newly constructed ashrams at Deodhar (Dist. Yamunanagar, Haryana). and at Nakur (Dist. Saharanpur, U.P.) for the first time.

The evening of 29th May was for Bapuji’s satsang at Saharanpur. On His way from Paonta Sahib to Muzaffarnagar, Pujya Bapuji had a brief stop over at this ashram situated on Ambala Road. The huge crowd of devotees were waiting for hours. However, their tapasya was finally rewarded at about 6.30 in the evening, when their beloved Bapuji arrived at the satsang-pandal. The devotees’ hearts were enraptured and eyes were reverentially glued to Pujya Bapuji. People danced ecstatically to the tune of Hari Ñ… unmindful of the scorching summer heat. The devotees, thirsty for Pujya Bapuji’s darshan and satsang, started imbibing the nectar of Pujya Bapuji’s darshan and satsang. Incidentally, last year Pujya Bapuji had come to this place on the same date as well.

On the night of 29th May, Pujyashree arrived at Muzaffarnagar. A two-day satsang was organised on May 30th and 31st at the huge Government Inter College grounds.

At Muzaffarnagar, Pujya Bapuji’s satsang had earlier been held nine years ago. Devotees of Muzaffarnagar came in droves to quench their thirst for the darshan and satsang of their Pujya Gurudev. Pujyashree, filled with affection and closeness addressed the devotees as ‘Muzaffarions’, which delighted them to no end. Then flowed the nectarine Ganges of devotional love. Pujya Bapuji led the people to devotional kirtan of the Lord’s name and they waved rapturously. Upon seeing their affection and devotion, Pujya Bapuji expressed hope that crimes in Muzaffarnagar will automatically decrease.
On the evening of 31st May, after the conclusion of the satsang at Muzaffarnagar, Pujyashree left by train for Delhi and the next day He arrived at the ashram at Sukandi village, located on the heights of Dhauladhar mountain range near Palampur (Himachal Pradesh). The Himachal Pradesh Government made the pre-eminently illustrious saint a state guest. While expressing His thanks to the state government, Pujyashree said that it has been an age-old tradition of the divine land to honour saints and make them state guests. People of Himachal Pradesh are known for their simplicity and fraternity. The coming generation too should inculcate these traits among themselves.

People not only from Himachal Pradesh, but also from other parts of the country, joined the grand congregation of God-lovers at Palampur in huge numbers for two days. The atmosphere during the 3rd and 4th of June was much like a spiritual Maha-Kumbha. Pujyashree served the inhabitants of this abode of divinity with a multi-course prasad of spirituality, Vedic culture, devotion, fighting social evils and inculcation of saintly traits.

From 9th to 11th June, satsang and Purnima darshan for the month of Jyeshtha was organised at Karkardooma, Delhi. While addressing the mammoth gathering that had congregated at the National Capital, Pujyashree said, “One has to experience the fruits of one’s actions. There is no escape from it. Your actions will surely catch up with you even after crores of years. Bhishma Pitamaha had to lie on a bed of arrows as a consequence of a sin committed 72 births ago. King Aja had to take birth as a reptile as a consequence of his actions. But Knowledge of Supreme Brahman is a device that lets you transcend this law of karma. By virtue of listening to the satsang of Self-Knowledge, King Aja was delivered from his reptilian life and went to heaven. One, who contributes in organising satsang has seven of his generations delivered.”

Pujyashree announced a contribution of 25 lakh rupees for Naxalite-affected Allapalli, about 250 km from Nagpur (Maharashtra) and instructed the volunteers of Shri Yoga Vedanta Seva Samiti to go and work for the rehabilitation of that area.

Former Governor of U.P., Motilal Vora also joined the devotees on the last day of the satsang. He availed himself of Pujyashree’s darshan and satsang and received Bapuji’s blessing by offering a floral garland.
The series of Guru-Purnima darshan programmes started with a three-day satsang at Chandigarh (16th to 18th June). No surprise, because for the last three years,the first of the Guru-Purnima darshan programmes has always been held at Chandigarh ashram. A permanent structure is available for satsang in the ashram premises but it had to be supplemented by a huge pandal for the Guru-Purnima darshan programme. This too fell short of the requirement of devotees. While relating the magnificent glory of Indian culture, Pujyashree said, “Indian civilization is neither an urban culture nor a rural one. It has emerged and developed in the serene solitude of forests and can well be called ‘Aranyaka (forest) civilization’. The Aranyaka Vidya or scriptural text that has originated in this ‘forest civilization’ is unique and marvellous. When Lord Sri Krishna can impart the knowledge of this ‘Aranyaka Vidya’ to Arjuna in the battlefield, why can’t I bring this vidya to your homes?”

Inauguration of a regional office of Rishi Prasad
Patna. Shri Ashwini Kumar Chaube, the Urban Development Minister of Bihar, inaugurated the regional office of Rishi Prasad in Sant Sri Asaramji Ashram at Kadamkuan.
The people present at this occasion resolved to take Rishi Prasad to as many people as possible in order to increase love and amity among the people of Bihar and create an atmosphere of peace and happiness. Under the auspices of the ashram, ration cards were distributed to poor people for free monthly distribution of food-grains. Free food-grains were also distributed on this occasion.

US senate opens it's session amidst Vedic chanting

US senate opens it's session amidst Vedic chanting!
sounds incredible isn't it? This appears to be a scene straight from Ram-rajya, where Vasisht Muni and Astavakra Muni wuld recite from the scriptures in King Dashrath's and King Janak's court.
One would have expected US senate to open it's session maybe with the US national anthem,or with some reading from the Bible .No one wuld believe that a US senate wuld hv opened it's session with chanting of Vedic hymns. Yet this is what precisely happened on March 15 at the legislative session in the Iowa House and Senate, when Pandit Krishna Pandey, the priest at the Hindu Temple and Cultural Center of Iowa near Madrid, chanted following vedic hymns in Sanskrit:
Tvam ve mata, Tvame che Pita, Tvam che Sakha.......

That a hindu priest was invited and welcomed at the senate is an indication of the growing influence of hindu culture in an christian dominated country.

Research studies prove the efficacy of Gau mutra

Pujya Bapuji, quoting from scriptures, says "agar ashrafiyaan dekar bhi gau mutra milta ho to la lena chaihye aur uske sevan karna chaiya."

Cow urine has been described in "Sushrita Samhitaâ" and "Ashtanga Sangrahaâ" to be the most effective substance/secretion of animal origin with innumerable therapeutic values. In Ayurveda cow urine is suggested for improving general health.

Researchers at CIMAP (Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants , Lucknow) have identified a cow urine distillate fraction as a bioenhancer of commonly used antibiotics and anti-cancer drugs. Bioenhancers are substances, which do not possess drug activity of their own but promote and augment the bioactivity or bioavailability or the uptake of drugs in combination therapy. Such bioenhancers have been earlier isolated only from plant sources. In their study they found that cow urine distillate fraction enhances the activity of antibiotics such as rifampicin by about 5-7 folds against E.coli and 3-11 folds against Gram-positive bacteria. Rifampicin is a front-line anti-tubercular drug used against tuberculosis. Interestingly, it was also found that cow urine distillate fraction enhanced the potency of Taxol (paclitaxel) against MCF-7 a human breast cancer cell line in in-vitro assays (US Patent No.6,410,059)

A UNIQUE GAU-SEVA:

Our nevai ashram houses over 4700 cows. Some years back there was a terrible drought in Rajasthan and these cows were being sent to slaughter houses.

Pujya Bapuji says in his satsang staes, gau maa is an abode of 33 crore gods.Rigveda (1-164-40) speaks for the worship of cow for good luck and fortune. Rigveda (10-87-16) call upon people to smolder the head of the person who kills the cow. Atharavveda (Kand 12/5) prescribes exemplary punishment for cow killing and talks about protection and samvardhan of cow and its progeny for agriculture. Brahmvavart Purana explains in detail the importance of cow to our life and nutritive value of its milk and ghee and lays down the necessity of rearing a cow and says that one will be healthy if he does not eat cow meat.The importance of gauseva could be understood well if we look back to Indian scriptures and philosophy. Lord Krishna as the young child tells her mother Yashoda that he could not do gauseva in his previous births and missed this wonderful experience. He asserts that his present birth is to do gauseva with his own hands and he becomes Gopal. King Dalip offers himself to the lion in a forest to save his cow and Chayvan Rishi proclaims that the whole kingdom is not worth his value except the cow.

Moved by the plight of the cows, Pujya Bapuji intervened and acquired all the above cows after compensating the farmers. the cows were acquired, but how to sustain them in a water scarce region? Where to mobilse funds for their fodder and sustenance? And the fact that these cows were being sent to slaughter houses was a pointer that these cows were not rich milk-yielding cows. So income from sale of milk produce wuld not suffice to sustain the cows.

Much has been written in ayurveda about the medicnal properties of gau mutra. Vishnudharmottar Purana explains the capability of the cow to clean and protect the environment. Virtues of the cow are immense and all scriptures bring out this fact and compare cow as encompassing the whole universe.

So a distillation plant was set up here in newai and now u hv gau mutra being sold as gau jharan ark (filtered concentrate) at all ashrams. The devotees from the cities, where gau mutra is not available, get easy access to this mutra thru bottled gau ark .the devotees enjoy good health thru regular consumption of ark and from the sale proceeds of the ark, gau seva gets done. For those who can't stand the pungent odour of gau ark, for them the ashram has come out with gau jharan vatti- gau mutra in a tablet form.

The cow dung too has immense purifying value. It is also a fuel . So u hv cow dung being used at newai ashram for manufacture of gau chandan dhoop battti. Pujya Bapuji mentions that he invariably uses gau chandan dhoop batti in his meditation room in prefrence to other dhoop vatti as it helps in cleansing the bad vibes .

Another medicinal produce from cow is panch gavya- a mixture of cow milk, cow ghee, cow dung, cow urine, cow curd. If u happen to attend any shibirs at the ashram, u find that that all the sadhaks are served Panch Gavya gratis. panchgavya in a distilled bottled form is available.

The cow dung at newai ashram is also being used to manufacture khechua khat(a special type of compost manure). these manure has found a huge demand in the tea gardens of assam.

Another spin off benefit of the newai ashram has been that it has created lot of employment opportunity for the local villagers, who were without any livelihood in this arid region.
