Guiding Torch for Disciples

For the Sadguru there is nothing like good or bad. For him the most important thing is the disciple and one who becomes a disciple can never remain away from Guru. Can a shadow ever separate from the body? A true disciple is like a shadow of the Guru.

There is nothing great in sacrificing oneself. Greatness lies in facing the world and a true disciple stands up against the whole social structure, if need be, to propagate the knowledge of his Guru.

After reaching the Guru the only duty of disciples is to follow the path shown by the Guru with full faith and devotion. He should follow the directions given by the Guru in his daily life.

Whenever he gets the time a disciple should go the Guru and seek his guidance. Just a glimpse of the master can change the fortune of the disciple. Hence a disciple should be in constant touch with the Guru.

If one wants to do Sadhana one should take the Mantra from the Guru only. One should not divide one's devotion with the Guru. There can be only one Guru in one's life.

One should avoid gossiping and concentrate one's thoughts on the Guru when one is free. It is a waste of time to criticise others and such activities only tend to destroy the good effect of one's Sadhanas.

Depending on the type of task sometimes a Guru assigns a particular work to particular disciples. Other disciples should not feel that they are being ignored. For a Guru all disciples are equal. Can a mother love one son more than the other? In fact a mother has to take extra care of her weaker and naughtier children for they need more guidance. A Guru too loves all disciples equally.

A disciple may have been with the Guru for twenty years or merely twenty days, but for the Guru everyone is equal. A new disciple should surely give respect and regard to older disciples but he should devote himself only in the feet of the Guru.

For a true disciple the Guru is his world. If a person befriends a king then why should he care for the good will of lower officials? Hence a true disciple devotes himself only to the Guru.

If a disciple calls out with devotion his voice surely reaches the Guru no matter where he is. there can be no doubt about this for a disciple is linked to the soul of the Guru.

Divine Voice

Life does not mean just living on or breathing. Just eating food, marrying and producing children is not the aim of life. The real goal of life is in realising the purpose for which one has taken birth.

Such thoughts are missing in animals, birds and insects. Even gods and demons do not think thus. This is why humans are said to be the most unique in the universe. But if a human never thinks why he has been created by the Lord, what the goal of his life then he is no better than the animals.

Only a Guru can make one rise above the animal existence. Gods cannot tell you the purpose of your life. Those who have not been through the process of being born cannot tell you the aim of human life. But a Guru has taken birth just like you and he has attained to totality in life. This is why he can take a disciple to the highest pedestal of realisation.

One who reveals what totality in life means, is a Guru. The moment the Guru gives Diksha he adopts the person as his spiritual child or disciple. That very moment one is reborn. Like Brahma he creates a new personality for you. That moment is the golden moment of your life. It is from that moment that your life really starts.

Guru does not just give Diksha. Rather through this process he purifies your blood which has been corrupted and polluted by generations of deceit, lies, lust and hatred. The Guru instills an explosive power into you. He teaches you how to travel from mortality to immortality.

I have propelled you on a path where there is no death, where there is no consciousness, where there is totality. I bless you so that you might attain to totality and success in life.

-Revered Gurudev Dr. Naryan Dutt Shrimali

Let's transform our lives! - Mannibhadra Sadhana

Success is not attained in life by just taking birth. For progress in life and for achieving totality one needs to be in contact with a great soul who can bestow totality in life. Paaras (philosopher's stone) converts every metal that comes in its contact into gold. If we wish to make life brilliant and shining like gold then we shall have to pledge today to work for transformation of our lives. We have to assimilate within, the divine knowledge given by revered Sadgurudev and through Sadhanas we have to make life successful and total.

Dear disciples,
Dear I call those who are linked to my soul and are quickly progressing on the path shown to them by me. They are filled with enthusiasm, joy and a determination to do something great in life. There is nothing in fact that they cannot accomplish.

All of you, be you a reader of the magazine, a Sadhak or a disciple, if you have obeyed me, if you have accomplished a Sadhana gifted to you by me then you sure have accomplished a great task. You have already taken the first step towards becoming a great ocean of knowledge. An ocean hides within its depths great treasures and precious gems and pearls.

I am your creator. You are all in my heart and my lips whisper your names fondly. When seen from the shore the ocean appears very ordinary. But once one dives into it, one realises that there is great treasure in its depths. The magazine appears every week so that your treasure could go on expanding and you could gather new and more precious pearls from it.

I feel proud of you that you are are ready to transform your lives and now you stand at the juncture where you can just step forward and have all that you wish for. And for all of you are moving towards this very goal.

All of you are with me for the past many lives because a soul is never separated from Supreme. Just as old and worn out clothes are discarded and thrown away and new clothes are worn over the same body, similarly through the process of death and birth a new body is gained although the soul remains the same. I am related to you spiritually.

You well know that life is one in which every moment something new happens. But for newness it is necessary for you to experience the fragrance emanating from my soul and assimilate the fragrance in your own soul. When this happens you shall never feel weak, cowardly or helpless in life.

I am trying to tell you, I am warning you not to become lifeless. Just as standing water stagnates and start to stink, similarly your life is stagnating. Your life is restricted to the limit of society, caste and nation. Everyone around is filled with jealousy and poison of hatred and doubt. Everyone is fighting with somebody and you too could be crushed in one such fight. Just being born and dying one day is not life. Life means enthusiasm, vigour and high spirit. This is what I am trying to instill into you each moment and every second.

With the fragrance of my knowledge and my consciousness I am instilling into you the capability and determination to face all adversities with a spirit of challenge.

You can do this because you are linked to the source of divine fragrance, to the ocean of Sadhanas, to the source of divine consciousness. I am calling out to all those who are a part of my heart and soul and who are ready to do anything that I tell them. I will not allow their lives to be incomplete. I won't allow you to wonder about aimlessly.

I shall lead you onto the the right path and tell you how to make life beautiful and wonderful. I want you to become bright like sun so that you could banish darkness from the lives of millions, so that you could become a guiding torch for the society.

Who shall make you understand all this ? Who shall show you the right path?

Only a Sadguru can lead you onto the right path. Others can only make on waver from the right path. You should know well that Guru is not a mass of flesh and blood.

Guru is the ocean of knowledge which can introduce you to the power of transformation. The power is within you which you are not able to see. The darkness within is not allowing you to know your own powers.

It is to remove darkness with that the light of Guru Sadhana has been gifted to you by me. In this light you can easily identify your powers.

Sadhana is the light which can illuminate your whole life. Sadhana is the flower which can make your life joyous with its fragrance. Sadhana is the weapon with which one can emerge victorious in every sphere of life and transform one's life completely.

This is why I am presenting to you an invincible weapon in the form of Sadhana through which you can overcome all adverse circumstances and transform your life completely. Every Sadhak remains eager to accomplish this Sadhana and remains waiting for moments when this Sadhana could be successfully accomplished.

This Sadhana is accomplished on the birthday of the Sadguru i.e 21st of April which presents very auspicious moments when new flowers blossom and when a new year starts for the Sadhak.

In these moments the whole life can be transformed. In these very moments this very powerful Sadhana called Mannibhadra Prayog is accomplished which through its divinity can make life more joyous and spiritual.

Mannibhadra Sadhana overflows with the energy of transforming life whose essence is meant to be assimilated in one's heart, body and soul. It is only then that one can be free of darkness of ignorance. I wish to put an end to your sins through this Sadhana and after that shall start the process of new creation.

Sadhana Process

One needs a Mannibhadra Yantra and Navmanni rosary for the Sadhana. Early in the morning get up and seated on the bed itself join both palms and pray to Gurudev and seek his blessings for success in Mannibhadra Prayog which you intend to accomplish later in the day. Then get up and have a bath. Wear yellow clothes and cover yourself with Guru Peetambar.

Then sit on a yellow mat facing East. In a plate draw a swastik with vermilion and on it place a Yantra. On the Yantra place the rosary and on both offer flowers, rice grains, incense and light a ghee lamp.

After the worship chant seven rounds of the following Mantra with Navmanni rosary.

Om Mannibhadraay Navsrityei Om Namah

After the Mantra chanting replace the rosary on the Yantra and having offered flowers on the Yantra pray to the Guru for transforming your life and blessing with wealth, prosperity, benefits from the state side, health and mental peace.

Do this Sadhana early morning daily for three days

After three days tie the Yantra and rosary in a yellow cloth and drop the bundle in a river or pond.

The Sadhana is very simple and free of complex worship procedures but it is very powerful indeed.

It might seem to be a very small ritual but it is instilled with amazing powers that can make the whole life of the Sadhak successful and brilliant.

Just by sitting in the holy feet of the Guru all divine powers can be gained. You might think that this is a very easy thing to do. But it is not so simple as it sounds. For this one has to go against one's beliefs and has to become ego less. Just by saying I am ego less won't make you humble. The process of becoming ego less means obeying each command of the Guru.
