Posted on gunatitjyot

Vratdhari brothers (male sadhaks who have taken vows to dedicate their lives to the Lord) are also karma-yogi sadhaks:  sadhaks whose lives are devoted to the Lord but at the same time they are engaged in an occupation or profession.  What distinguishes the karma-yogi sadhak from the lay person is that he lives  totallyin accordance with the wishes of his guru, all activities (karma) should be performed primarily with the intention of pleasing the Lord.  He

Posted on gunatitjyot

To attain the state known as brahm-roop and to worship with total love and devotion the supreme Lord known as Par-brahm is our ultimate goal.  The realisation of this goal will render us free from our ego (dehbhav) and will enable us to experience the divine peace, bliss and happiness of Akshardham from this moment.  In order to attain a solid divine attachment with the Pratyaksh Guruhari whereby we have completely surrendered

Padmamarg We will reach Akshardham by travelling in ‘Concorde’ – that is to say that our journey to Akshardham will be so much quicker and easier.  We are now in an era where our sadhana, i.e. the efforts or practices necessary to realise one’s spiritual goal is much easier and simpler.  Our prarabhdhas (past destiny) no longer exist nor do they have any relevance in our present life.  We now firmly

What is Concorde? Concorde is an aeroplane similar to the Boeing 747 aeroplanes.  However, it is the fastest aeroplane in the world.  It travels at a supersonic speed.  If it is in London at five o’clock, it will reach America at five o’clock (local time).  Concorde travels at the same speed as the earth so it is still the same hour of the day

We should chant the Swaminarayan mantra.  We will

Chapter Ten: Maintain Deep Faith, Free From Doubts, and Pray to God

Posted on gunatitjyot

Nishank Bani Vapro Once an attachment with the Lord has been conceived, one loses all interest in worldly and materialistic pleasures.  This loss of interest liberates the soul.  We have attained Atma-Buddhi  with the vijli séva sant – this bond is a one-ness with the Satpurush.  If we could really appreciate the true value of such an attainment, we would become insane.  The Lord, through his grace, sustains
