My firm belief – He will be born to a virtuous family

“I am a Poonam VratadhÍri since 2001. Through Pujya Bapuji’s satsanga and vicinity, I have always experienced peace and happiness in my family life. I admitted my child, Ramakrishna Yadav, in Chhindwara Gurukul in 2008 because Ramakrishna was Bapuji’s prasÍda and I wanted to offer my son for doing voluntary service for Bapuji and for society. Accidentally on 29th July, 2008, my son passed away.
I am not sad about the fact that Ramakrishna has passed away. Infact, I am happy that he was able to imbibe the samskÍras of devotion, Yoga and JnÍna in Bapuji’s Gurukul. The soul is ageless and immortal. With values imbibed in this life, his journey will be divine, and I have firm faith that he will be reborn in a virtuous family. I shall also educate my second son Shivam, who is now two years old, in Bapuji’s Gurukul.

These incidents are a conspiracy against Bapuji and the Ashram

Chhindwara Gurukul’s student, Vedanta passed away recently. His mother, Puja and father, Krishna said, “We still have as much faith in the Ashram. Our daughter, Vedanti, also studies in the Ashram’s Gurukul and will do so in the future as well. If we had more children, we would educate them too in the Gurukul. It is very clear that these incidents are a part of the defamation campaign conspired against Revered Bapuji and the Ashram.”    

 The facts are given here......

    A misinformation campaign has been launched by certain sections of the press and electronic media about the Ashram lands. The facts are given here:
    The Ashram at the Delhi ridge is an annexe to Hanuman temple set up by Baba Balaknath’s ‘Manokamanasiddha Hanuman Mandir’ Trust. The same trust is running the Hanuman Mandir. Baba Balaknath and Bapuji were friends. Later it was alleged to be disputed land and the case went up to the Hon’ble Supreme Court. Now the Ashram is carrying out altruistic activities in conformity with the Apex Court orders. SÍdhakas and thousands of people go there to have darshana of the ancient temple. 
    The land of Rajokari Ashram has been bought from farmers and stone Crusher-owners. Free education and wholesome food is provided to the children of Rajokari village. There is a shed for cows where service is rendered to cows. A cow-shed, free medical services, free education and food to children – not publishing such philanthropic activities, some anti social elements are feeding misinformation to the society and to the authorities. Why should you endeavour to derail the altruistic activities by your false propaganda? Why should you throw impious bones into the sacrificial pyre?
    The land at Surat is alleged to be worth 80 crore rupees by some, and 125 crores by others. The government sold this land to the Ashram 10-12 years ago. Payment was made to the Government at the market price of the land plus interest at 12% for eight years. The market value of this land after levelling, development and construction – 1625 feet long retaining wall, Shiva Mandir, Hanuman Mandir, Baal Sanskar Kendras etc. – is estimated to be worth 3 to 4 crores as mentioned on page 47 of the order of Hon’ble High Court. Therefore the false claims made about the value of the land are revealed by this.
    The land purchased 10-12 years ago is hardly worth 4 crores, even with constructions raised on it! And it is a known fact that prices of land go up with time. In any case, the property belongs to the trust. 
    Thanks to the good deeds and merits of the people of Surat, all the bombs were detected and defused and the evil designs were thwarted. Surat was saved from a disaster.

‘Where good sense prevails,
all wealth follows.
Perversities bring only
trouble in the end.’

    Chhindwara Gurukul is under the Shakti Trust which belongs to Gyanada Devi, and the trust also has some old trustees. Those who run the Gurukul devoting their physical and mental efforts and wealth to the endeavour, should be commended and praised, and the students, teachers and trustees of this school (in a tribal area producing 100% results) should be thoroughly encouraged.
    Why do you misinform and misguide people against those rendering service with all their physical mental and financial resources? Why do you cause distress to the administration and the public? Why do you discourage those rendering selfless service? Misleading propaganda harms the nation and depletes its strength, and it is in the interest of the administration and the public not to fall prey to such false propaganda.
    The rocky hill (100-150 acres of land) at Pedmala (Gujarat) was purchased from a farmer and proper documents are available. A small part of the land is used for housing cows and growing fodder for them and for serving the local poor. Why do you incense the administration and the public by putting ‘billions of rupees’ value on this land which, with all the constructions, is hardly worth even 1 to 1.5 crore rupees? The transfer of the land was as per the procedure prescribed by the law and it is a known fact that the rocky, hilly land is of low value. Even at present it is not worth much in value. The Ashram management is ready to offer the land which you claim to be worth billions of rupees for just 1.5 crores, along with the constructions which are in the name of sÍdhaka parivÍr with the only condition that it should be used for altruistic purposes – service to the cows and the poor should continue.‘Land worth billions of rupees… disputed land…’ it is neither worth billions nor disputed. And those bent upon it can create disputes anywhere. Again we submit that false and misleading propaganda harrows the administration and the public. Why do you incur the sin?

Why don't Media Show the Saints’ Altruistic Activities as well ?


    No… You do it only rarely because there is no sensation in this. If at all you show these things, you will dispose of the matter showing a documentary for a few minutes. I am not levelling allegations against the media, but some bitter incidents are recalled to my mind as to how news is collected and video footage recorded to spread sensation. Even today I can recollect the fearful and horrifying incident of self-immolation of an anti-reservation student that I saw on television news – the student being engulfed by fire after setting himself alight by pouring petrol on his body, and the cameramen running after him in a bid to film the incident! Just imagine what a horrible scene it would have been! 4-5 people are running after him trying to film the helpless student. Nobody took pity on him; nobody thought of throwing a bucket of water on him to put out the fire. I want to ask – had the student been a son or brother of one of the cameramen, would he still have continued to film when he was caught in flames? Where do you want to lead this country by showing such horrifying ‘exclusive photographs’?.......(contd......) Click here !
