Spreading Guruhari Pappaji Maharaj's Teachings
Prathna The sadhak reaches the pinnacle of his sadhna once he has attained absolute faith in resolving all his problems by praying to the pratyaksh swaroop. Constant practice of this principle leads to the ultimate achievement of the sadhak’s goal. He gains a spiritually higher status of ‘vijli jéva sant’. Yogiji Maharaj has afforded this opportunity to anyone who wishes to practice it. It is my sincere wish that
Sakar Upasana It pleases Maharaj – therefore we should: Never doubt the existence of Maharaj. He definitely exists. Always accept that he is ever-present. He is always present in the form of Gunatit Sant as per Vachnamrut G.III.26 and G.I.27. Observe the principles of ‘panchvartman’: i. Ordinary principles: Do not consume alcohol or meat, do not steal, do not commit adultery etc. ii. Superior principles: Nirmani = Ego-less
Sadhana nu Rahasya For 200 years Shreeji Maharaj and Gunatitanand Swami have preached one basic principle and have encouraged people to live accordingly. The principle is : Always maintain unity, harmony and friendship, living every moment absorbed in the murti of Maharaj whilst performing His service (séva) and worship the Lord with total devotion. Maharaj has promised that He will carry out whatever purification of
Sadhak ni Jagratta Have you secured a place in the heart of an Ékantik? Does your body, mind and soul live each and every moment according to the wishes of an Ékantik? Ask yourself these questions and confirm the answers. If the answer to the above is in the affirmative, then be ready for the spiritual tests. The tests of lok, bhog, déha and paksh will be as intense as the
Swaroop-nishtha A devotee with unparalleled, superior devotion to God will always turn towards God when faced with problems. He will remain neutral, pray and wait with patience and then act as inspired by God. A devotee with ordinary devotion to God will question God when faced with problems. He will ask: “Lord, why have you burdened me with these problems?” Whilst praying
Gunatit Gnan nu Navnit Never look at the faults of others. (Koi nu Jovu nahi) This means never ponder over the vices of other satsangis. How can one check that one is not doing this? Yogiji Maharaj used to say that in dire circumstances when one fails to recognise Maharaj as the ‘controller’ of all activities – i.e. fails to see the ‘leela’ and instead is
Sadhako maté lal bati You are a sadhak. The Lord by his grace has recognised your soul and its former relationship with God and has therefore placed you in the company of a divine guru – a god-realised saint. This is a truth which the sadhak must always bear in mind. Day by day, the divine feelings (divyabhav) and emotions with which the sadhak accepted the Guru in the first instance, should increase
Karéngé ya maréngé If anything should happen to your physical body – even if it should die, do not be concerned. We have changed our bodies innumerable times. However, do not allow your desire to accomplish the goal of Ékantik Dharma die under any circumstances. This desire must be kept alive at all costs. It is a well known fact that in our sadhna – in our
Samjan na Angwala maté Jaga-Swami used to say that one should never scrutinise others, their actions or their faults. If one feels the need to do so, then one should only scrutinise oneself, one’s own actions and faults. Yogiji Maharaj went one-step further with this concept and through his infinite wisdom gave us the following spiritual knowledge (gnan) and enlightenment. It is inevitable that

Priti na angwala maté Bhagatji Maharaj maintained that all devotees (sambandh-wala) should be viewed and accepted as an ‘image’ of Shreeji Maharaj himself and should be served accordingly with devotion. Yogi Bapa took this principle one step further and through experience provided us with the following spiritual wisdom. Those who are led by their hearts and emotional minds should constantly practice japyagna and remain submerged in the murti of
