Spreading Guruhari Pappaji Maharaj's Teachings
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

Drudh Ashra na lakshan Continuously perform the service of the Lord as inspired by Him. Even if you should attain a spiritual status equivalent to that of a god-realised saint, do not withdraw from the service. Sustain the desire to continue in the service of the lord until you take your final breath. Yogi Bapa was a prime example of one who practised

Mahatmya ni akhand Dhara ‘Jago ré ….. jago ré ….. sukh no suraj ugyo ré..’- Arise! awake! rejoice !! ….. the sun of happiness and bliss has risen. We have found and recognised Pratyaksh Maharaj in the Gunatit Swaroops (the god-realised saints) and they have accepted us as their own, and enrolled us as members of the Gunatit Samaj. We have been fortunate enough to realise
Sakal shastra no sar Dear Muktos of the Gunatit Samaj, Are you a member of the Gunatit Samaj? From the moment you establish an affinity with a Gunatit Swaroop, i.e. a god-realised saint who is in constant communion with God and surrender to such a swaroop with your heart, mind and soul, living each moment as inspired by that swaroop and for the service of the Lord, you are

Maitri nu mahatva All those who have been selected by a genuine brahm–swaroop will have their prarabhdas (fate) directed and ordained by the swaroop as is deemed necessary for the purification of their soul. This is a continuous process driven by the prayers and sankalpas of the brahm–swaroop which we call ‘sakar brahm ni leela’ – otherwise known as the purification of the soul. Just as water is essential for a fish

Gunatit no suhrid-bhav Welcome each event and occasion with a smile, take everything positively. ‘Oh Lord, let each and every moment of my time be spent such that I am totally engrossed in You, guide me and give me the strength to live according to Your wishes’. Embodied in this prayer are the following principles: Agna – abiding by your guru’s wishes Upasana –

Brahm-anandi bano We are all sadhaks. Our ultimate goal is to achieve a state of mind where we are in constant communion with God – a state of brahm-anandi conscience. We should be our own guru, introspect calmly and thoroughly, then ask ourselves: Am I a Vishay-anandi? (one who derives happiness from worldly pleasures). Am I a bhajan-anandi? (one who derives happiness from devotion and worship). Am I an Atmanandi? (one
