GURUJI

Right since childhood, Gurudev was in search of “something” in his life for which he himself didn’t know. After completion of his education, His parents married him. From the very first day after His marriage, He left in search of the “thing” that He Himself didn’t  know. For about 4-5 years he visited  all the religious places. He went to churches, gurudwaras and mandirs but He didn’t get what He intended to get. He even went to the himalayas. He spent His time with all sadhus but again He didn’t get what He wanted. After 4-5 years, He started meditating at a place called Santokhsar  Amritsar. He used to sit there at 1:30 in the night. Once when He was going to sit over there (On the 40th day of His meditation), a white snake, the size of a king cobra stood in His path and didn’t allow Him to go to that place. Then Gurudev closed His eyes and told the snake that “whether you bite me or do anything, I must go there to meditate” and He stepped forward towards the place of His meditation. The snake allowed Him to pass and Then there was an “akashwani” — “That whatsoever You want to get, You will get only in Your ‘GrihasthAshram’ (family life).”

Then He returned to His home. He started living His family life and brought back Mataji with respect and honour. He then came to Gurgaon. He started His livelihood with any work that came His way and also started studying further. After completing His studies He got a job as an officer in the Ministry of Agriculture (soil survey department), Government of India. All this while, His chanting of various mantras continued. In the meantime OM appeared on His hand.

HOW HE GOT THE NAME GURUJI

HOW “SEVA” STARTED AT THE STHAAN

Around the year 1971, when Gurudev had already acquired most of His powers, our Gurudev’s Guruji (To whom Gurudev referred as “Buddhe Baba”, but no-one saw Him, except a few priviliged “Shishyas”) gave Him instructions to open the gates of His home to all and start “Seva”. His residence started being called the Sthaan. People with various problems started coming to Him and also started getting cured and relieved of their problems. As fire spreads in the forest, the number of people started coming to sthaan and his disciples / followers start increasing day by day. The “Seva” that started with a few people, increased from Tens to Hundreds and from Hundreds to Thousands. When the rush of people started increasing beyond Thousands every day, Gurudev appointed a particular day for “Seva” every month. This was done to ensure, that anyone who is coming from outside , definitely gets to meet Him. This day comes on the Thursday which immediately falls after the night of no moon (Amavas) every month and He started calling it “Bada Guruvaar”. As many as fifty to seventy Thousand people started coming for Gurudev’s Darshan on this appointed day. These people used to stand in queues which used to take them hours and sometimes even more than a day to get a glimpse of Gurudev. And just the one glimpse, release them from all their pain and fatigue.
And Our Gurudev, we cannot explain His kindness and Grace in words . He used to sit for “Seva” as early as 3:15 in the morning and continued to meet people till 1:30 to 2:30 of the next day’s morning without even eating anything. He used to keep His hand on the heads of the people and bless each and every person standing in the queue, anxiously waiting for their turn. Even though we have witnessed that everyone on whose head, Gurudev kept His hand, used to get cured, Gurudev never acknowledged that it was His doing. He ALWAYS said that “Buddhe Baba” is doing it.

Gurudev left His Human Form in the year 1991, on 28th July, two days after “Guru Pooja”, a predefined day by him at His own will. In His entire Life, He lived like a Normal person does. His way of dressing, eating, moving… was like any Normal person, but His Powers were immense. He had the power to bestow anything on anybody. But His love is alike for all without any dissimilarity

Such was the charisma of Gurudev that each and every person firmly believed that Gurudev loved him more than all the others.

Today, after so many years, every tradition is being carried out exactly in the way He had started it. Sewa is being continued at the sthaan and thousands of people come with their problems and are still being cured. Spiritually Gurudev continues to be with us and will always be…

Mata Ji

The feminine is the most powerful dimension of life. Without the feminine energy or “Shakti” ,there would be nothing in existence Who is as powerful as Lord Shiva in this world. It is Maa Shakti. Our Guru – Mata is the epitome of Gurudev’s power.

When Gurudev left to find His identity, first day after His marriage, no one knew, that when He will return. Mataji waited, patiently for Gurudev to return, all the while knowing in Her heart that He will return. She used to pray for His well being where ever He might be.

Gurudev returned and gave Mataji, Her deserved honor and respect. Her belief in Him had proven to be true. She stand with Gurudev in the years, when He was still gathering His powers and She also worked as a teacher in a School.

When “Seva” started at the Sthaan (The residence of Gurudev), Mataji was over-whelmed with joy. Everyone used to get motherly love and affection from Her. She was with Gurudev at every step. When Gurudev used to sit for “Seva”, He used to sit for hours together, sometimes more than 24 hours at a single stretch (meeting more than 60 thousand people) without eating anything. Mataji used to eat after Him.

When Gurudev decided to leave His human form at His own will, He asked Mataji to go to Neelkanth Dham (The place He had earmarked for His Last rites to be performed), one day before the appointed day of his departure, to light a “Jyot” (lamp) at the place where His samadhi was to be made. It was only Her Divine Powers that enabled Her to perform this difficult task.

Though Gurudev is always there with everyone as He said – That He resides within us, everyone misses His engrossing Human Form. Mataji love for Her children, never let them feel deprived of that pleasure. Till today is carrying out every tradition that Gurudev made at the Sthaan.

She meets everybody with the same enthusiasm. Her presence provides a sense of security to Gurudev’s disciples and She will always be the guiding light in our lives.

Nirvana Divas

Gurumata ji too joined Gurudev ji and left Her Human form to be Omni-present. She left Her Human form on the 2nd of May 2014 (on the day of Akshaya Tritiya) just a day after Her birthday.

Guru Purnima – The day of Grace

A GURU is a catalyst. His presence activates, enhances and hastens the Spiritual Process. Guru in itself is a paradoxical term, with ‘Gu’ meaning darkness and ‘Ru’ standing for the removal of darkness. Thus, a GURU is believed to be someone who removes all darkness from our lives. The word “Guru” in Sanskrit is translated as “dispeller of darkness.” A Guru dispels the seeker’s ignorance, allowing him to experience the source of creation within. The day of Guru Purnima is traditionally the time when seekers offer the GURU their gratitude and receive his blessings .This festival commemorates (show respect for) the goodness of spiritual GURU as thousands of devotees worship and thank their GURU for enlightenment.
Guru Purnima falls on Full moon day and considered an especially beneficial day to practice meditation and doing Paath.
