JAMMU, Nov. 3: Sant Asa Ram Bapu today decried the forces who have tried to defame him and said those who ganged up against him by leveling false allegations could not succeed in their designs.
Giving religious discourses at Bhagwati Nagar Ashram here today during his two days tour of Jammu, Sant Ji said that these forces even purchased media to level false allegations against him but could not harm him as he is on the right path.
Sant Ji while highlighting the benefits of Satsnag and meditation said no one can harm a person who is devoted to God and takes part in deep meditation by reciting Guru mantras. He also highlighted the benefits of different kinds of Jap (deep meditation and recitation of Guru Mantras), which are all powerful.
He said those who surrender themselves to God and their Guru never face any problem in life and are rescued by Lord from all dangers and misfortunes. He informed the devotees numbering thousands that how his disciples at different occasions were saved from jaws of death and referred to Bhopal gas tragedy, Godhra helicopter crash of last year and two days back Saindi sea storm in US.
Asa Ram Bapu said that though lot of devastation was caused by sandy storm in US two days back but his Ashram in New Jersey was intact while his devotees putting up in different parts of US were also safe and sound. This is the miracle and Guru mantra, he added.
Likewise in Bhopal gas tragedy of 1985 large number of people were killed while thousands became handicapped and infirm but his disciples and disciples of other saint who were putting up in the same area were not harmed, he said, adding in last year’s Godhra copter crash he as well as all of his disciples and crew were safe.
Highlighting the religious and social significance of Diwali Sant Ji asked his devotees to celebrate the spiritual Diwali and enlighten themselves within. This Diwali will in real sense end all the miseries of life, he added.
He said the demon King Rawan had lot of wealth but no mental piece while the Lord Rama had every thing.
Highlighting various aspects of Pranayama Sant Ji said that by practicing the pranayama one can lead a happy and disease free life. Through Anlom Vilom Pranayama (inhaling and exhaling of breath) a seeker can attain marg of Bhakti.
He said one should never think ill of others neither agree with any one who wants to do ill to others. Maintaining that mantras are very powerful, he said one can lead a blissful life by practising Mantras daily.
He blessed the people of Jammu by his discourses and reminded the people that immersion of mind with God’s name keeps the misfortune away, adding that nothing ominous happens if one is lost in God’s remembrance.
Whatever be the circumstances, the true devotee overcomes all odds successfully. Recitation of Lord’s name in all your endeavours; doing good to all and desisting from doing unpleasant to others brings you close to the doorsteps of the Almighty, he added. He advised the devotees to forget everything but not the Supreme Lord. In this Kalyuga, only Satsang and Lord’s name is the channel to cross the ocean of this mundane world, which appears to be real but is not. In reality it is like a rope appearing to be a snake in bad light. Whatever is seen through the naked eyes is all “Maya” (illusion) and one who is aware of this reality remains detached from this dreamlike world and performs all his duties cautiously.
Thousand of devotees on the first day of Satsang were blessed with close darshan of Bapu Ji on the hi-tech train designed by the Ashram disciples of Bapu Ji fitted with a machine which also throws the Prashad of Tulsi Toffees to the devotees.
According to the spokesman of the Ashram Pujyashree will initiate Gurumantra (both Saraswati Mantra and Vedic Mantra) to the aspirants after 06 am tomorrow. He also held a photo session with media men today.
