Divine Reality ( 22 items ) Stories from "Divine Reality" Book by Ravi Prakash Pande "Rajida". Baba had a unique way of showering His Grace. Those who received His Grace became familiar with Baba's ways and their faith in Him became firm. Even after Baba left His body, devotees are experiencing His protection and care. Some readers, who did not have the opportunity of being with Baba, may find it difficult to accept the truth of this. As has been mentioned His way of doing things was unique and with this in mind, it may be easier for them to evaluate Baba's benevolence. In fact, these are the acts of a super being and operate far above the physical plane. Without elevating the 'self' spiritually, it may be difficult for a person to realize Baba's presence within such events.
Baba's mystical lilas inspire people to discover the essence of Truth, by which a spontaeous change can be brought about in the essentials of this world. His divine ways are so exceedinly impressive and attractive that contemplation of them encourages one to seek improvement of the inner self. As a consequence of this inner cleansing, people start experiencing Baba's Grace and also receive His darshan in dreams, as well as in reality. Thus by throughly contemplating and reflecting on His character and divine lila, it is natural that there be changes in the thoughts and tendencies of aspirants. To help facilitate this transformation is the purpose of this book.
Near and the Dear ( 32 items ) From "The Near and the Dear" by Dada Mukerjee - Strange are the ways of devotees. Their exuberant love, devotion to their masters, their unusual behavior in expressing their master's gifts to them, and the raising of their gracious master to the status of a divine being or God, are all no doubt repugnant to our common sense or mind. But true devotees are not interested in what we think of them and are not affected by our comments. They enjoy the ecstasy of their devotion to the one they call Khuda or Bhagwan and the bliss that flows from there.
By His Grace ( 35 items ) From "By His Grace" by Dada Mukerjee - "Yad karane se ham ajate hain" - "I come to you when you remember me". Each new story is an invitation to enter more deeply into the mystery. For to us he represents enlightenment... freedom... God... Rama... Hanuman... Krishna... Shiva... the play of form... compassion itself... a beloved and wise grandfather... the closest member of our most intimate family. They say in India that God is like the sandal tree, and the Gurus are like the winds that diffuse the perfume throughout the atmosphere. We are intixicated.
Each of us knows Him in our own unique way. Each thinks that the Maharajji he knows is the true Maharajji. But He is fooling all of us. And seeing His many facets reflected through each others stories and hearts, we come to know His play; to realize that His identities are infinite. And yet we still thirst to know Him; to contain Him with our minds. Oh that we could be to Him as Hanuman is said to be to Ram: his very breath.
Dada is recognized as one of the devotees who has been closest to Maharajji. Their relationship has been so intimate for so long that we treasure Dada's stories about his "Baba" as especially precious. He is our elder brother in Maharajji's spiritual family.
Whatever Dada did, it involved a remarkable degree of surrender. For, by the time I met him, the transformation was complete. There was no sign of the Professor; there was only Dada. Maharajji said to him, "You are mine," and so he is.
Miracle of Love ( 1 items ) The experiences in this category are from the book "Miracle of Love" compiled by many devotees and attributed to Ram Dass as author. Miracle of Love was the first book about Maharajji, released in America in the 80s.
Prema Vatar ( 22 items ) Selections from the book "Prema Vatar" by P. C. Josi "Mukunda". Maharajji's devotees who deserved His Grace have been inumerable extending from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, from Punjab to Assam and even in foreign countries, even though He had not founded any institution with the purpose of organized satsang by His name. Wandering sadhu, today here, and tomorrow somewhere else. He was never attached to any temple or ashram. A few years before leaving His body, He got management of the temples and ashrams systematized with the purpose - (1) that after He had left His body, the devotees who entirely depended on Him should have something to lean on and (2) to fulfil His wish that in the thick of Kaliyug, the spiritual feelings be awakened in each and everyone through these temples/ashrams.
He never permitted His name to be associated anywhere with them, but having founded them once, He got the Hanuman Trust formed and handed them over to it. It is only after His Mahaprayan (final journey) that His devotees added His name to the temples/ashrams. He had one priincipal, one laudable attribute and purpose - the welfare of each and everyone. Therefore, all people - high or low caste Hindus, Moslems, Christians, Sikhs, Jains and even foreigners were recipient of His grace.
