Shi Munirajji's appeal
to visit Haidakhan
Dear Brothers
and Sisters,
We are very fortunate to have these beautiful ashrams in India, Herakhan
and Anand Puri dam in Chiliyanoula where we can just go and stay. In
time it has developed that the emphasis in staying there is all revolved
around the Navaratries. The numbers of people who come on these
occasions is still growing every year. We had close to 500 foreigners
this last Navaratri passing thru ! This is really wonderful as there is
always a good number of new comers amongst them. On the contrary this
was the case at the Christmas celebrations this year where only twelve
people were present in Herakhan last December. In the monsoon the people
can be counted on one hand and you'll have some fingers left over most
of the time.
The spiritual power of these places is however the same throughout the
year. This is Shri Babaji's gift to us which holds a great largely
unused potential !
Hardly anybody comes to Herakhan to do some sadhana (spiritual practice)
or seva (selfless service) for an extended period of time. It is a pity
that the meaning of sadhana by experience is unknown to most of us. To
take out some months in your life to discover the power of these places,
by taking your Japa further then a few mala's a day and get to know the
enormous power and benefit in repeating your mantra continuously and so
get closer to the Divine we carry in our heart. In the quiet periods
there is much less distraction and a period of not speaking, eating
little and full concentration will be such an enrichment of your life
which nobody can ever take away from you again. Besides Japa one can
study deeply the Saptasati, learn to serve the sacred fire or a Murti by
Pujari practice and the meaning of Seva in general and meet the power of
these gifts and so discover the wonderful space we carry in our heart.
If Sadhana does not resonate with you consider Seva. We are reaching a
point where in the quiet periods it becomes difficult to maintain these
big Ashrams. With big numbers of people only being present a few weeks
of the year there is so much to do for those who are doing Seva
throughout the year to make all this possible. With a few more hands and
minds offices can work better, cleaners can clean, handy man can do
maintenance, pujari's keep the temples and dhuni's in great shape. In
the process one can learn hindi language, play harmonium, pronounce the Aarti & bhajans etc and the whole place will be more lively during the
year. This seva is highly praised by Babaji and mostly revered to as Karmayoga. Also in the veda's it is regarded as highly beneficial for
spiritual progress. During this process in Herakhan Vishwa Mahadham your
bond with the Divine will be so strong and your spiritual path will be
like a spiritual highway.
Time is flying and the world is pulling us but what does it really bring
us ?
Remember we are human beings, not human doings and what we fill our days
with shapes our future.
Shri Babaji spoke about the Haidiyakhandi University. We have never been
able to set this up until now but our Siddhi Peeths ( power places )
hold a great potential. It takes a whole hearted student, a one point
focussed devotee who wants to go beyond to discover the wonders of the
inner world and establish a conscious bond with the Divine.
This writing came together after a discussion with Shri Muniraj.
Shri Muniraj is inviting you to take full advantage of Shri Babaji's
gifts do some practice and spend some time in our Ashrams in India.
