Paryushan Mahaparva 2020

We bring you this unique online Paryushan Mahaparva programme. Paryushan is a festival of forgiveness. It is a time to reflect on the year and repent for any hurt caused through mind, body and speech. It is a time to control one’s senses, withdraw one’s awareness from the wants, the likes and the dislikes and to strive for inner equanimity, stillness and peace. It is a time to stop the influx of karmas and to shed those that are bound. This is a powerful opportunity for transformation. Build your will-power and inner strength. Keep your end goal in focus and strive with conviction and enthusiasm.

અમો આપને માટે એક વિશિષ્ઠ “ઓનલાઈન પર્યુષણ મહાપર્વ કાર્યક્રમ” લઈને આવી રહ્યા છીએ. પર્યુષણ એ ક્ષમાપનાનું પર્વ છે. પરિવર્તન માટે મુમુક્ષુઓને મળતી આ એક અમૂલ્ય તક છે. આ સમય છે વર્ષ દરમિયાન કરેલા કાર્યો પર ચિંતન કરવાનો અને મન, વચન તેમજ કાયા થકી જો કોઈને જરા પણ અશાતના પહોંચાડી હોય, તો તે માટે પ્રાયશ્ચિત કરવાનો. રોજ રાત્રે સૂતાં પહેલાં દિવસ દરમ્યાન થયેલી ઘટનાઓ વિષે વિચારીને અવલોકન કરવું. ઇન્દ્રિયોના વિષયો દ્વારા હું કેટલો અધિક પ્રભાવિત-પ્રલોભિત થયો? કષાયજન્ય પરિણામો કેટલાં કર્યાં? સંસારમાં હું મોહભાવ સાથે કેટલો તણાયો? મનમાં કેવા વિચારો અને ભાવો ચાલ્યા? શું વાણી દ્વારા હું મીઠું અને સત્ય વચન બોલ્યો હતો ખરો? અનેક રીતે આત્માને તાવી જોવો. અને ભૂલ-અપરાધ થયા હોય, તો તે દોષ ફરી ન થાય તેની કાળજી લેવી, તેવો સંકલ્પ કરવો.

Touching Bhaishree's feet.jpg

Br Vikrambhai’s poem on forgiveness:

હું છું અધમ, મેં કર્યા પાપ અનંત,
માંગુ ક્ષમા, મને માફ કરો ભગવંત,

અહિંસા, જૂઠ, ચોરી, પરિગ્રહ, અબ્રહ્મ,
મુજ કુકર્મીને કરો સ્થિર પરબ્રહ્મ.

રાગ, દ્વેષ, અજ્ઞાનથી બહુ રે પીડાતો,
અંદરનો ઉકળાટ હવે નથી રે સહેવાતો.

ઇન્દ્રિયોના વિષયોમાં રહ્યો હું તણાયો,
ગ્રહી બાંય હે ગુરુ તમે મને ઉગારો.

પુદગલમાં માની સુખ બહિરાત્મભાવે ભટકતો,
ભવ અટવીની ઊંડી ખાઈમાં રહ્યો સરકતો.

મોહ મિથ્યાત્વના કાદવમાં હું લેપાયો,
મારું તારું કરી બહુ ક્લેશે અટવાયો.

દંભ અને કપટથી કરતો રહ્યો પ્રદર્શન,
થઈ સરળ મારે કરવા આત્માના દર્શન.

મતાગ્રહી બસ મારું કહ્યું જ થાય,
સ્વચ્છંદ અને અભિમાન કેમ કરી જાય.

આપવચનોમાં રહેવું મારે દ્રઢ દિનરાત,
કીધું તમે એ જ કરવું મારે હે નાથ.

અનંત ભવચક્રો પછી મળ્યા સદગુરુ ભગવંત,
ધરું ધ્યાન આપના ગુણોનું તો થાય ભવઅંત.

હે પરમ કૃપાળુ, તમે છો નિરંજન નાથ,
રહું તમ ચરણે સ્વામી રાખજો સદૈવ સાથ.

સંગમાં રહ્યાં છતાં તમે નિર્લેપ, નિરંજન,
કૃપા તમારી, કર્યું તમે જ્ઞાનાંજન.

Devoted Listening Embodied - Poem by Br Minalben

As we celebrate Guru Purnima, we have the opportunity to recollect the virtues of Param Pujya Guruma, as expressed by Brahmnishth Minalben. The still, silent, striving Guruma embodied Shravan Bhakti, devoted listening, as this moving poem explains.

In Veneration, we bow at your lotus feet Gurumaa.

In Silence her Soul we find, A divine gleam of a mother so kind.

Consciousness she kept manifesting, Peacefully quiet she kept resting.

She sat on the armchair doing nothing, No one knew, how heaps of karmas she kept busting.

Wealth in abundance all around, Yet true treasures within she found.

Like a lotus in a pond, she remained untouched, In blissful privacy she remained clutched.

Drenched in Bapujis' holy showers, By deep contemplation she empowers.

From letters of vachanamrut, she gained insights, In meditation, like a sheath, the body divides.

Gnansaar and Adhyatmasaar were her favourite texts, A pinnacle of spirituality she apexed. Today we promise to strive, By living your virtues we shall keep you alive.

- Br Vikrambhai

Online Shibir - April 2020 - Updesh Chayya 10 & 11

As the Shibir in Sayla has been cancelled for April and many swadhyays around the world have paused to avoid group gatherings, Param Pujya Bhaishree has blessed us with a digital online Shibir, our vandan at his feet.

We will be sharing the digital shibir here on the website and on whatsapp for our Mumukshus for 5 days from 10 - 14th April 2020.

As in Shibir we encourage you to
- maintain as much maun as possible,
- to introspect and spend as much of the day in suvicharna and atma chintan,
- to reflect and do avlokan of your kashays
- minimise your phone use and limit your interaction with the news and the external world
- eat simply and limit the subjects of the senses.

Param Krupaludev Janma Divas Celebration 2019


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.
— Guru Nanak

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.
