Guru Poornima Utsav 2010

Hari om ,

All the devotees are welcome to the auspicous occasion of Guru Poornima, Utsav celebrated by Sadguru Sadguru Shri Aniruddha Upasana Trust.
The utsav is scheduled on 25th July 2010 at Terapanth Bhavan, Thakur Complex, Kandivali (E), Mumbai.
The Utsav would be celebrated between 10.00 am to 9.00 pm.


The venue is easily accessible from the Railway station by trains ,(BEST bus No.300 from Kandivali (E) station & BEST bus no.400 from Borivali (E) station) and also via the Western Express Highway.

*Please note : P. P. Bapu doesn’t accept any gifts may it be in any form like money, sweets, flowers, gift articles, precious metals, etc.
As HE has been telling us for so many years HE only expects and accepts our Bhakti (Devotion), Prem (Love) and Seva (Service).


IMPORTANCE OF SADGURU’S DARSHAN ON GURUPOORNIMA (By Dr. Yogindrasinh Joshi i.e. YOGIDADA) :
SADGURU gives us that DYAN which tells us which ASTRA or weapon should be used in which battle or fight. We know that we can not make perfect decision or UCHIT decision at UCHIT time on our own. SADGURU helps us to take this decision and that is HIS KRUPA (GRACE).


GURUPOORNIMA is one such day where we have to remember the debt of SADGURU (GURU-RUNA) in our life. He will be successful who will maximum remember HIS RUNA in our life.
SADGURU is the ultimate TATVA in the entire UNIVERSE. Every one can accompany you till your dead body is put on fire. HE is the only one who accompanies you in every moment even after your death till next birth. GURU is the one who converts the darkness into the LIGHT.


There is always duality or fight between 2 things in our mind. We can’t take proper decision, so GURU TEJA makes us enable to take right decision and achieve Victory. SADGURUTVA is ANIRUDDHATVA and ANIRUDDHA is SADGURU only.
ANIRUDDHA means no one at no time and at no place can stop from doing any thing.
If we don’t gain HIM, there is nothing to be gained.
On GURU POORNIMA day SADGURU makes His DARSHAN so light and mild that we common men can easily accept that. HE makes power of HIS GURUTEJA so that we can easily bear that with our eyes directly.


When we do JAP, our mind is not concentrated on HIM exactly. Different thoughts peep inside or different tensions take away our concentration. But when we take HIS DARSHAN on GURTUPOORNIMA whenever we will sit for JAP, the same Photo of HIM, will be fixed in front of our eyes there wards after.

Hari Guru Gram

Thursday's Pravachan and Upasanas would be carried, would be referred as Hari Guru Gram.
(So in the current scenario New English School in Bandra (East) where these activities are carried would be referred as Hari Guru Gram).




Hari Guru Gram would be from now on considered at par with other Upasana Centres across the globe.

Upasana would start exactly at 7 : 00 pm.


As earlier, the two Beej (Basis) Mantras of Aniruddha Upasana Trust i.e. “Om Krupasindhu Shri Sai Nathaya Namah” & “Om Abhayadata Shri Swami Samarthaya Namah” would be chanted as usual for 24 times and 14 times respectively at the very start of the Upasana.
Instead of Hanuman Kavach (that used to be recited so far) another Mantra of Lord Hanumant “Om Shri Ramadootaya, Hanumantaya, Mahapranaya, Mahabalaya Namo Namah” would be chanted.
Datta-Stavan Stotra would also be chanted. (The hard copy of the same would be available for free for all the devotees in Shri Kshetra Aniruddha Gurukshetram).
All these recitations would last for about 20 - 22 minutes.
Marathi Pravachan (Discourse) on Vishnu Sahastranaam would start at sharp 7 : 20 pm
Gajars would start at 8 : 15 pm and end at 8 : 40 pm
Aarti (" Aarti Saibaba ...") would start at 8 : 45 pm.
Darshan would start at 9 : 05 pm and continue till 10 : 15 pm
Hindi Pravachan on Shri Sai Sat Charitra would start at 10 : 20 pm. (Every Thursday Bapu would speak on one individual Aadhyay (chapter) of Shir Sai Sat Charitra).

Finally the program would end with Aarti ("Om Sai Shri Sai Jai Jai Sairam ...").

Trivikram:

The newly inaugurated Trivikram would be displayed for darshan in the basement area of Hari Guru Gram during rains and on ground at other times. This Trivikram would be the Guna-pratik (Symbol of Character), Samarthya-pratik (Symbol of Strength), Aadhyatma-pratik (Symbol of Sprituality) of Aniruddha Upasana Trust as its Drushya-pratik (Visual Symbol) is Flag and Dhwani-pratik (Vocal Symbol) is "Hari Om". This would rest at Shri Kshetra Aniruddha Gurukshetram for other times.



A very beautiful story told by Bapu at Hari gurugram about Trivikram importance. This was given by our Bapu to all of us, this Trivikram is a very unique weapon, shastra(,i.e.Vajra, Lord Indra's main weapon) in the whole world.It was already with Chandika Mata Mahishsurmardini, but now at this point of time our Bapu's mata was given this Trivikram for all Shradhavan bhaktas at this peak point of Kaliyug.


Lord Parmatma as Aniruddha has taken form of TRIVIKRAM to throw open His Nav-Ankur-Aishwaryas (Nine Forms of divine virtues) to His children i.e. Shraddhavans.


Why does Aniruddha have to bear this form?
It is because we as humans have been steadily blocking His way of entering our lives because of various Pradnya Aparadhs (breach of guidelines laid down by Lord Parmeshwar i.e. Lord Dattaguru of Satya, Prem and Anand). So to widen this road, Aniruddha has to take this form.

Trivikram is the support for all the Shraddhavans. It enhances the principle of 'Pavitrya Hech Praman' (Purity is the only Reference). Trivikram kills evil, propagates and enhances the righteousness and establishes Maryada. Trivikram makes life beautiful and mannered. Trivikram is Prem-agni i.e. pure form of love. One can worhship TRIVIKRAM however he wants with pure bhav.


Physical Description of TRIVIKRAM :
(Please refer the photograph of Trivikram attached above)


Trivikram has a black base called Dharmasan. Dharmasan represents purity.
Above it there are two pink flowers of lotus supported by strings. These flowers have 9 petals.
The right string represents Pingala nadi (central cerebral cord) in the human body which stands for Sun and His warmth and also represents river Yamuna. This cord also represents love of Goddess Mahishasurmardini.
The left string represents the Ida Nadi which stands for the moon and his calmness and also represents Goddess (river) Ganga or Ganges. (Both these cerebral cords originate from Cerebellum i.e. the lower part of the brain and end at the coccygeal area i.e. the bottom-most part of spinal cord. This cord also represents love of Goddess Anusaya.
There is also the third cord which stays invisible called Sushumna which represents love of Goddess Gayatri.

Enclosed between these strings of lotuses is the black colored, pole-shaped structure called Vajradand. Vajradand represents love. This is the support of the Universe, support of all the Shraddhavans.
Above this Vajradand is placed another flower of lotus called Vajrakamal which again has 9 petals. This Navdal Kamal represents Goddess Jagdamba who is completely filled with divine brightness. The 9 petals represent Navvidh Nirdhar (9 fundamentals) and 9 Saman Nishthas (Equal Considerations) of all the Shraddhavans as given by P. P. Bapu in Shreemad Purushartha Grantharaj.
Between these strings of lotuses and the Vajradand but immediately above the Dharmasan there are two circular discs. Right one of Blood Red color and left with Turmeric Yellow color which represent Sun and Moon respectively. Sun represents Truth, it represents Jathar-agni (energy in stomach) in the human body and Moon represents happiness, it represents Dyanan-agni (zeal to learn).
The three colors found in TRIVIKRAM i.e. Red, Yellow and Black represent Kumkum, Turmeric and Abir or bukka which are considered extremely pure elements.
This Trivikram is a figure complete in itself.
The blossoming of the petals of this Navdal lotus of TRIVIKRAM in our body would be proportional to the blossoming of our Bhav (thinking and considerations of our mind about love and faith towards the Lord).
As described above the 3 steps which TRIVIKRAM takes in our life are
1) Akaran Karunya i.e. Unconditional and unreasoned love

2) Kshama i.e. forgiveness

3) Acceptance of Sharanya (complete surrender at Lord's feet)


Accordingly the three steps that we need to take to reciprocate Trivikram are
1) Dhyan i.e. Devotion towards Trivikram

2) Chintan / Abhyass i.e. study and practice of what is proposed by Lord

3) Dhyas i.e. only one wish that I want Him (Lord)


These 3 steps can also be defined as
1) I am Your's

2) I am only Your's

3) Forever I am only Your's .

(Here I represents worshipper and You his Lord)


What is the Need of TRIVIKRAM ?
Lord Paramshiv's symbol is Pindi, likewise Aniruddha is symbolically represented by this TRIVIKRAM.
Any divine idol of Lord always needs periodic charging but TRIVIKRAM is the charge in itself. There is no need to do its Pratishthapana or establish it. He is self established.
TRIVIKRAM endows upon us pure bhav and also increases it.
One who worships this TRIVIKRAM with love gets automatically connected to it.
Through this TRIVIKRAM Aniruddha demands our under-developed lotus and endows us with His fully developed lotus.
TRIVIKRAM would end the worshippers' punishments i.e. his dush-prarabhda.
TRIVIKRAM is the gini (divine power) who grants all your righteous wishes at the earliest.
Finally as a delight for everyone P. P. Bapu said that this TRIVIKRAM would be soon available to everyone to be worshipped at their homes in form of replicas, as lockets to be wore in neck, etc. But worshipping this TRIVIKRAM in its original form is the best. TRIVIKRAM would be worshipped on every Thursday at Hari Guru Gram in between the Marathi and Hindi discourse given by Bapu. The worship would be called Sukhasavarni.


Sukh Savarni prarthana would be held in front of this Trivikram. The poojan and event would be carried by Param Poojya Nandai or Param Poojya Suchitdada or Param Poojya Samirdada or Respected Swapnilsinh or Respected Paurassinh.
Portrait of Ek Mukhi (one faced) Lord Dattatrey would be kept behind Trivikram during Sukh Savarni. One can demand anything (which is pure in its form and concept), one can confess, one can decide on any particular topic or action he has to take during this ritual.

Importance and Significance of Chanting of Hanuman Chalisa 108 times in a given day from Vata Poornima upto Guru Poornima

!! Hari Om !!



Starting June 26th we have Jyesta Poornima / Vata Poornima. The 1 month period right up till Guru Poornima, July 25th ( Ved Vyasa Jayanti ….one who wrote Bhagwatam or “Jaya”(Mahabharat) )

I am enclosing the Story of Hanuman Chailsa and its significance w.r.t Saint Tulsidasji got from Hanuman as mentioned by P.P.Bapu in his pravachan and extracts provided in our magazine for reference. Kindly pass the same to anyone who is interested in knowing the significance and wanting to do it.

We need to just chant 108 times Hanuman Chalisa in a given Day’s time (Sunrise to next Sunrise) during this 1 month period (up to Guru Poornima).

Note:
This can be done in the entire 24 hours of the day and not required to do at a single stretch sitting. It can be done in any number of mantra sequence e.g. 9 times x 12 or 18 times x 6 or 27 times x 4, or can do in a random sequence of 30, 50, 27 sittings by taking couple of breaks during the entire Day.

Bapu has said that ……”This removes all the Bad & Negative effects of one’s person for an entire year”

He has also mentioned that……….”If we are not doing this Mantra Jap on Amavas Day (No Moon night), it is still better, as on this day it will be difficult to Concentrate properly and complete it 108 times for average human being, as the negative forces are at strength”

Therefore barring this day, choose any other day within this time frame to do it. To get Krupa on us………Great Saint TULSIDASJI had asked from Hanumanji this Boon for us. All the “ – Ve (Negative) vibrations” for the next entire year can be wiped away with. This is the period, that is most beneficial for the Hanuman Chalisa, as Sant Tulsidasji asked it from Hanumanji.

Hari Om………….”Ramo Rajamani Sada Vijate” “Lord Aniruddha is always Victorious”

Note:
Significance of Vata Poornima……….. This festival is carried out in Honor of Savitri, a legendary wife who escaped death for her husband's life. This festival is basically carried out for the safety of the husbands. On this full moon day of Jyestha vat savitri puja is also observed to honor the legendary Chaste wife Savitri. According to the legends, Savitri fought with death(Yama Deva) to recover the life of her husband. Married women carry a fasting day .This is carried out for Savitri and Satyavana who was her husband and was destined to die within one year.

परमपूज्य अनिरुद्ध बापू (डॉक्टर अनिरुद्ध धै. जोशी) ह्यांचा दै. प्रत्यक्षमध्ये ५ नोव्हेंबर, २००६ (अनिरुद्ध पौर्णिमा) रोजी प्रकाशित झालेला अग्रलेख.माझी माई माझ्या लहानपणापासून नेहमी म्हणायची, " हा नं काय करील त्याचा कधी पत्ता लागत नाही, " तर माझी आई मला 'चक्रमादित्य चमत्कार' म्हणायची. बहुतेककरून माझ्या बालपणीच्या ह्या चक्रमपणाचाच विकास कायम होत राहिला आहे. प्रत्येकाला शालेय शिक्षणानंतर अगदी कुठलाही पाढा आठवला नाही तरी 'मी एके मी ते मी दाहे मी' हा पाढा सहजतेने येत असतो. कारण हा 'मी' दाही दिशांना मनाच्या घोड्यावर बसून पाहिजे तेव्हा पाहिजे तसा उधळू शकतो. मी असा आहे आणि मी तसा आहे, मी काही असा नाही आही मी काही तसा नाही, मला हे हवे आणि मला ते नको, मी हे केले आणि मी ते केले, अशा अनेक रुपांनी हा प्रत्येकाचा 'मी' जीवनभर धिंगाणा घालत राहतो आणि हा अनिरुद्ध तर लहान मुलांच्या 'धांगडधिंगा' शिबिराचा खंदा समर्थक। मग ह्या अनिरुद्धाचा 'मी' स्वस्थ थोडाच बसणार?

मी असा आहे आणि मी तसा आहे - मी कसा आहे हे फक्त मलाच माहीत आहे. पण मी कसा नाही हे मात्र मला अजिबात माहीत नाही. मी कसा आहे? ते माझ्या त्या त्या स्थितीतील अस्तित्व असणाऱया त्या मानवावर अवलंबून नाही, त्या त्या परिस्थितीवरदेखिल अवलंबून नाही. बाजूचा माणूस आणि परिस्थिती कशाही प्रकारची असो, मी मात्र तसाच असतो कारण मी सदैव वर्तमानकाळातच वावरतो आणि वास्तवाचे भान कधी सुटू देत नाही. भूतकाळाची जाणीव व स्मृति वर्तमानकाळातील अधिकाधिक सभानतेपुरतीच आणि भविष्यकाळाचा वेध वर्तमानकाळात सावध होण्यापुरताच, ही माझी वृत्ती.
मी चांगला आहे की वाईट आहे - हे ठरविण्याचा अधिकार मी प्रच्छन्न मनाने सर्व जगाला देऊन टाकलेला आहे कारण मुख्य म्हणजे इतर कोण मला काय म्हणतात ह्याची मला जराही पडलेली नसते. फक्त माझा दत्तगुरु आणि माझी गायत्रीमाता ह्यांना आवडेल असे आपण असावे हेच माझ्या जीवनाचे एकमेव ध्येय आहे आणि त्यांच्याच वात्सल्यामुळे मी त्यांना पाहिजे तसाच घडत राहिलो आहे.
मी काही असा नाही मी काही तसा नाही - मी कसा नाही, कुठे नाही आणि कधी नाही हे मात्र मला खरच माहीत नाही पण मी कशात नाही हे मात्र मला नीट माहीत आहे व हाच माझ्या प्रत्येक वाटचालीतील प्रकाश आहे
मला हे हवे आणि मला ते नको - मला भक्तकारण हवे आणि राजकारण नको, मला सेवा करावयास हवी पण कुठलेही पद नको, मला मित्रांच्या प्रेमाचे सिंहासन हवे पण सत्ता नको, मला अहिंसा हवी पण दुबळेपणा नको, मला सर्वसमर्थता हवी पण शोषण नको, बल हवे पण हिंसा नको, मला परमेश्वराच्या प्रत्येक भक्ताचे दास्यत्व मी स्वीकारणे हवेहवेसे तर दांभिक ढोंगबाजी व खुळचट श्रद्धांचे (?) नायकत्व नको.अनेकांना मी कुणालाही भेटायला जात नाही म्हणुन माझा राग येतो. परंतु मला कुणाकडूनही काही द्यायचेही नाही. मग कुणालाही भेटण्याचा प्रश्न येतोच कुठे ? मी भेटतो फक्त माझ्या मित्रांना कारण 'आप्तसबंध' म्हणजेच देण्याघेण्याशिवायची आपुलकी हे एकमेव मला भेटीसाठी कारण असते, म्हणून मला निर्व्याज आपुलकीची भेटगाठ हवी, पण देण्याघेण्याची किंवा विचारमंथनांची भेटगाठ नको असते. मला ज्ञान नको म्हणजे ज्ञानाचे पोकळ शब्द व देखावे नकोत पण मला परिश्रमपूर्वक ज्ञानाचा रचनात्मक कार्यासाठी होणारा निःस्वार्थ विनियोग हवा असतो.
मी हे केले आणि मी ते केले - 'मी काहीच करत नाही, ना-मी सर्वकाही करत असतो' ही माझी अंतिम श्रद्धा आहे. मग हा माझा 'मी' स्वस्थ बसून निष्क्रिय आहे काय? ते तर मुळीच नाही. या अनिरुद्धाचा 'मी' त्या 'ना-मी' च्या प्रत्येक श्रद्धावानाच्या जीवनप्रवाहाला पहात राहतो आणि त्या प्रवाहाची गती थांबणार नाही व पात्र कोरडे होणार नाही, ह्याची काळजी घेण्यासाठी त्या 'ना-मी' चा स्त्रोत त्याच्याच प्रेमाने श्रद्धावानाच्या जीवननदीच्या कुठल्याही डोहाला फोडून सतत प्रवाहित राहण्यासाठी ओतत राहतो. मला सांगा, ह्यात माझे काय?
सत्य, प्रेम व आनंद ह्या तीन मूलाधार गुणांचा मी निःसीम चाहता आहे व म्हणूनच असत्य, द्वेष आणि दुःख ह्यांचा विरोध हा माझा नैसर्गिक गुणधर्म आहे; ह्याचाच अर्थ, हे कार्यदेखील आपोआपच घडत असते. कारण जो स्व-भाव आहे तो आपोआपच कार्य करीत राहतो, त्यासाठी काही मुद्दामहून करावे लागत नाही.
प्रभुरामचंद्रांचा मर्यादायोग, भगवान श्रीकृष्णांचा निष्काम कर्मयोग आणि श्रीसाईनाथांचा मर्यादाधिष्टित भक्तियोग हे माझे आदर्श आहेत. मी स्थितप्रज्ञ नाही, मी प्रेमप्रज्ञ आहे. माझी बांधीलकी 'वास्तवाशी' म्हणजेच स्थूल सत्याशी नसून, ज्याच्यात पावित्र्य उत्पन्न होते अशा मूलभूत सत्याशी आहे.
मला काय करायचे आहे? मी काय करणार आहे? मी अग्रलेख का लिहितो आहे? तिसऱया महायुद्धाविषयी एवढे मी का लिहितो आहे? मी प्रवचन का करतो आहे? ह्याचे उत्तर माझी ह्रदयक्रिया कशी चालते व मी श्वास कसा घेतो ह्यांइतकेच सोपे आहे, खरे म्हणजे तेच उत्तर आहे.
माझ्या मित्रांनो, पवित्रता व प्रेम ह्या दोन नाण्यांना मी विकला जातो, बाकी कुठलेही चलन मला विकत घेऊ शकणार नाही. खरं म्हणजे, ह्या अनिरुद्धाचा 'मी' फक्त तुमचा आहे, तो माझा कधीच नव्हता आणि कधीही नसेल.
मित्रांचा मित्र,
