Four Delicate Princesses
Real tenderness is of heart, not of the body
Vikramaaditya had again lifted Vaitaal, put him on his shoulder and continued walking. Vaitaal said - "Vikram, There is lots of time. You will be successful in your mission, you will reach the cremation ground in time, but till then let us enjoy. So listen now to another story.
The king of Swarn Desh was a very gracious king. He had four beautiful daughters. They all were very tender and delicate. His first daughter was like that, if she came out in moonlight, she had blisters on her skin. Her second daughter was like that, if any rose flower is thrown at her body, it bled from that place where it hit. The third daughter was like that, if anybody spoke a little loudly, she became unconscious. And the fourth one was like that if somebody touched her, a mark was made at the same place. All princess became very famous for their tenderness, even in far countries. Whoever heard about them, he got surprised at this.
The first princess was always kept in shade; nobody touched the second one; all only whispered in the presence of the third princess; and the fourth princess was like the second princess. The king was very much worried about their marriage, how they will be married? Will they be able to live after their marriage? He was especially worried about the second and the fourth ones.
The king had employed separate maids to take care of them. One of those maids was very kind. She used to donate something to a beggar whenever she got an opportunity, especially when she went out of the palace.
Because of their tenderness, the princesses used to wear extremely light clothes and jewelry. One day, the maid, who used to give alms to beggars, came out of the palace carrying an ornament. A poor man saw the ornament in her hand and requested her to give that ornament to him as he wanted to marry his daughter. He didn't have any ornament to give to his daughter in her marriage. O Vikram, the maid pitied him, and gave that ornament to him and came back empty hand. The king got very angry at this and he sacked her out. She went back to her house.
After a while a Vaidya (traditional doctor) came in that country. The king told him about his daughters and asked him, "Who is the most tender girl among them?" Vaidya laughed. King got surprised at this laugh and asked him why he was laughing. Vaidya said - "I am laughing at their tenderness." The king said - "Can't you treat my tender most daughter?" Vaidya refused to treat any of them and went away.
Vaitaal said - "Vikram, Now tell, Vaidya said right or wrong? Who was the most tender princess among them?" Vikram was silent. Vaitaal again said - "Is keeping quiet your justice? You are famous for your justice, speak something."
Vikram said - "No princess was tender among all the princesses."
"What are you saying?"
Vikram said - "My justice says that only, because the tenderness of heart is more important than the tenderness of the body. The most tender was that maid who used to give alms to beggars. If somebody's heart is not tender, then what is the use of tenderness of body, that is why the Vaidya refused to treat them. This is my justice."
Vaitaal remained silent for a while, then he broke into laughter and wanted to run away from Vikram's shoulder but Vikram had held him tightly. He said - "You are running away, I will not let you run away." "OK, OK, But only one condition. I will tell you another story and you will do justice as usual." Vaitaal continued - "After that Vaidya went away. After some time the king married his first daughter. The prince always kept her in shade. When the time came she gave birth to a daughter. On this occasion many Deepak (lamps) were lit in the palace. Somehow, one Deepak's light fell on princess' body and it caused blisters on her body." Hearing this Vikram also laughed. Vaitaal asked why he was laughing. Vikram said - "Because this is not the tenderness of the body. This is kind of disease. That is why I am laughing."
Since Vikram broke his silence, Vaitaal again ran away from the king's shoulder and hung on the tree upside down. Vikram again went back to the tree, caught him by his hair, put him on his shoulder and started walking fast again towards the cremation ground.

http://sushmajee.com/shishusansar/stories-vikram-vaitaal/intro-vaitaal-1.htm
TWO FRIENDS:
Only face is the introduction of a man
As Vikramaaditya walked away from the tree, Vaitaal again started speaking - "Listen now, and do not be angry. Your justice is very good that is why I like to talk to you, it increases my knowledge." Vikram didn't say a word and continued to walk. Vaitaal also continued his talking, he said - "Now I tell you a story just to pass time, listen to it and do justice." Vaitaal started his story and Vikram started listening.
Vaitaal said - "There lived a rich man in Ujjayinee Nagaree. He had only one son. His name was Gandharvsen. He was very handsome, like a prince. He used to go to city riding on a horse. Many girls were attracted to him, but he didn't like any of them. By chance, one day he went to that side of city where washermen were washing the clothes. Suddenly he saw a girl who was washing her clothes with full attention. He instantly fell in love with her. He gazed at her for a few moments, then sat on the steps of a nearby temple. He sat there till sunset. All washermen had gone from there after loading their clothes on donkeys.
Gandharvsen got very sad. Then he got up and said to Devee in the temple, "If I am married to this girl, I will offer my head to you after one month." And he came back to his home. He was not able to forget that girl even for a moment. He fell sick. His family got worried about him. Several Vaidya (traditional doctors) came to see him but nobody was able to identify any disease.
He had a good childhood friend. His name was Devdatt. He also got worried seeing his condition. He asked him the reason of his sadness. Then he told everything to him. Devdatt went to the father of that girl and talked to him. He got very happy with this proposal. The girl, whose name was Roopmatee, told that she also liked him but was helpless. Hey Vikram, Thus Gandharvsen and Roopmatee got married. Gandharvsen loved Roopmatee so much that he did not allow her to go anywhere even for a moment.
Thus one month had passed. Gandharvsen remembered his vow taken in the temple, so after one month he came to the temple along with Devdatt and Roopmatee. He asked them to wait outside and he alone went inside the temple. He cut his head and offered it in the feet of Devee. When he did not come out of the temple for some time Devdatt and Roopmatee got worried. Devdatt went inside and got stunned seeing the severed head of his friend.
He thought, if he tells this to others, they will think that Devdatt himself has killed Gandharvsen to get Roopmatee, so he also cut his head and offered in Devee's feet. Seeing this sacrifice, Devee appeared and she joined both the heads to both the bodies, but in hurry, she made a mistake. She joined Gandharvsen's head to Devdatt's body and Devdatt's head to Gandharvsen's body. Thus both were alive but with different bodies.
Now you tell Vikram, to whom Roopmatee should choose as her husband? If she chooses Gandharvsen as her husband, will she be not a sinner?"
Vikram got silent hearing Vaitaal. He was walking fast and he had held him tightly. Then he said - "Listen O Vaitaal, Roopmatee should select only that body on which Gandharvsen's face has been joined ." "Will it not be a sin?" "No, It will not be a sin, because only face is the introduction of a person, only face shows the feelings of a person, that is why Gandharvsen's face is very important. This body is the slave of eyes. Whatever they will say, the body will do the same. In this way Roopmatee will get the love of Gandharvsen only, if she will marry the body on which Gandharvsen's face was joined."
Hearing Vikram, Vaitaal said - "You are right Vikram, only face gives the introduction of a person." Saying this Vaitaal again laughed heartily and ran away from the king's shoulder and hung upside down from the same tree. The king Vikramaaditya again got very angry at this. He followed him taking out his sword, took him from the tree, put him on his shoulder and started walking.
He said to him - "If you will run away this time, I will cut your neck." Vaitaal spoke softly - "Don't be so angry, O Vikram. You are very courageous. And you are a just king, that is why I want to gain some knowledge from you." He was speaking and Vikram was listening.

VIKRAM-VAITA L Stories
Sushma on her website www.sushmajee.com has compiled several stories from four different sources ( Vetaal Kathaayen; Vikram aur Vetaal; Translations from Burton; Bhavishya Puran and other sources.. ) with very good introduction of the genesis of the stories etc. Here, I will be putting them one by one as per my own evaluation from her following link;
http://www.sushmajee.com/shishusansar/stories-vikram-vaitaal/vaitaal-2/1-vajramukut-1.htm
THREE SUITERS:
One should regard relationship too
Vikram again came after him, caught him, put him on his shoulder and started walking. Vaitaal said - "I pity you, O King, that you are making untiring efforts, without relaxing, to take down me there as if you wish to achieve something. However, you will realize the futility of the whole thing if you listen to my story. So just to pass time, listen to this story now." Vaitaal started his story and Vikram started listening.
Vaitaal said - "There was a city named Dharmsthal on the banks of Yamunaa River. There lived a Braahman named Keshav, in that city. He was a very religious and learned Braahman. He had a daughter, her name was Madhumaalatee. She was very beautiful. When she became of marriageable age, her parents started looking a suitable match for her.
One day Keshav went to one of his Yajmaan (customer), and he saw a handsome Braahman boy sitting there. He was very happy to see that Braahman boy. He talked to his parents about the marriage of his daughter to their son, they agreed, so he fixed her marriage to him. When he came home, he was about to tell this to his wife, that she said - "Our daughter is very lucky that she has got a good husband sitting at home only. You have heard the name of Tryambak Shaastree, did you?" He knew him very well. He was a a very learned Pandit and knower of Puraan etc. The wife said - "I have fixed her marriage with his son."
Keshav said - "I have also fixed her marriage at one place." and he told her his own story. In the meantime his son came and told them that he had also fixed his sister's marriage with a very qualitative boy. In spite of being agreeing with one another, they could not decide one boy to whom to marry her. So all the three boys came to their house and claimed to marry Madhumaalatee. All wanted to marry her because of her beauty. Madhumaalatee also liked all the three boys, so she was also unable to decide to whom to marry.
Now, by chance, Madhumaalatee went out in the courtyard and a black snake bit her. All the three boys started crying for her. Several people were called to cure her but she could not be revived and she died. At last she was cremated. The three boys were very sad. The first boy's name was Vikram, the second boy's name was Vaaman and the third boy's name was Madhusoodan.
Vikram tied her bones in a bundle, kept them with him and started doing Tapasyaa in a forest. The second one, Vaaman, had stored her ashes and started living in a hut. He used to cry a lot in her remembrance. The third one, Madhusoodan started wandering around assuming the guise of a Saadhu. Once he came to a kingdom in which he stayed in the house of a Taantrik. Taantrik came very late for his dinner.
The Taantrik didn't like the food, so he became angry and he threw his son into the fire. His son died. At this his wife started weeping. Taantrik got pity on her, so he took out his book of Sanjeevanee Vidyaa, gathered the ashes and bones of his son and brought him alive. Madhussodan got very happy to see this. He stole that book and ran away from there. He searched his other two companions. He met them. Vaaman gave him her ashes and Vikarm gave him her bones. Madhusoodan took out his book and brought Madhumaalatee alive.
Now all three started claiming her as their wife. Madhusoodan said - "Because I brought the knowledge to revive her, that is why she is mine." Vaaman claimed that if he had not preserved her ashes, Madhusoodan could not have brought her alive, that is why Madhumaalatee was his." Vikram said - "I have given the bones, that is why Madhumaalatee is mine." Now you tell me whose wife is Madhumaalatee?
Vikram pondered a little and said - "She was the wife of Vaaman." "How" "Listen O vaitaal, One has to see the relationship in this world. Madhusoodan gave her life, that is why he was her father; Vikram kept her bones, that is why he was like her son; and who has kept her ashes, only he can be her husband. That is why Madhumaalatee was the wife of Vaaman."
The King had broken his promise by speaking, so, saying "You are right." Vaitaal ran away laughing loudly from the king's shoulder and hung upside down from the same tree. The King Vikramaaditya got worried at this. He took out his sword and came back to the same place. At the same time a snake appeared there and changed into a handsome young man. He said to the king - "Excuse me Raajan." The king asked - "Who are you?" "I am the wishful snake. I want to save your life. One of those 32 figures in you throne, Manjaree is my sister. Vaitaal Taantrik is Satan. You should not involve in this matter. You may lose your life too."
The king got silent. That young man spoke again - "I just came to tell you the same only." And that young man went away again changing himself into a snake. The king stood silently for a while, but he was not going to accept defeat. He considered to follow Dharm as his duty - to fulfill his promise made to that Yogee. So he again went back to the tree, lifted that Vaitaal, put him on his shoulder, and started walking again. The king was holding him tightly and was walking fast.

Chronic Diseases and Philosophy of Karma
Reproduced an article by Udaya Kumar in Homeopathy and more, May 2009;
Most of the times, human beings forget that the they are formed out of two entities. That is "Matter" and "Spirit".
Just the same way as the "matter" gets degenerated and becomes diseased, the spirit also faces its consequences in the form of sufferings. We call these phenomena as body and mind, sickness and sufferings.
It should therefore be well understood that there is always a spiritual factor, a spiritual design, in more than half of what is happening all around us. This metaphysical half is mostly not understood well by science.
The idea of my explaining this is that, in an acute disease, normally the sufferings are immediate, acute and short-lived by the design of the malady itself and therefore the cosmic consciousness has little role in it and the doctor has more roles in it. Because in acute diseases the mental sufferings are less and bodily pains are more.
But in the case of Chronic ailments, there is a Karma factor, a sin factor, a faith factor, a destiny factor, an action and reaction factor, a cause and effect factor,a time & TIME factor, all come into play along with the Cosmic consciousness we call God. Here the question comes when should we interfere in a chronic patient who by the design of God is supposed to suffer for a period of time. Will it be like working against the nemesis and design of God to interfere in between and get the person relieved from the sufferings? Does it antagonize the God?
A further legitimate question and doubt by a mortal mind would be "What the hell are the doctors doing then? Yes they are treating and taking money. There responsibility to some extent is seemed to end with the money falling in their drawers. Then, aren't these doctors supposed to create a society devoid of diseases? Are they really doing that? Why? The fact is that they aren't. Because, the nobility in the doctors have been lost somewhere in the annals of history and therefore, the number of diseases are also increased and their flourishing depends upon the number of diseases and patients.
Well, this somehow fits into the larger plan of God. Those who are destined to suffer will suffer despite the presence of doctors, because doctors do not pay enough attention to go to the root of the problems and cure so that they create a healthy society rather than cure or suppress the diseases only.
In such a scenario, the question is when to attend to chronic diseases and chronic patients. My answer to this malady is that, attend to the
Chronic diseases only when the person comes to you and request to you. Do not go to the person or chase the person, as you are trying to do now, and give him the medicines to correct him. Here, Self- satisfaction becomes prominent and at the same time you are criss-crossing the God's design of sin and punishment, if at all it is there, the karma and the results.
I only wanted to stress on the point that one should not be chasing the patients rather the patient should chase and meet the doctor on his own when his time for cure destined summons him.
The conclusion is that., if one is designated by the Cosmic designs to work as a healer, come what may, the patients who are destined to be cured will reach the healer immaterial the distance, time, place, or communication facilities. And if the right person comes at the right time to the right healer, it should be presumed that the right medicine will come to his finger tip and its application would cure the person miraculously. I have many instances, and have no doubts whatsoever about that. I have picked up many times from 200 or more medicines placed in a box at random the exact medicine I wanted without checking the labels. It does not happen always. But it do happen many times that I cannot call it co-incidences.
God and human soul are fundamentally same thing. The only difference is God Wills to run the cosmos or macrocosm and human beings have been given the power of will to conduct himself to run his microcosm. It is not in the mandate of human beings to run the world or cosmos, he is overstepping there and all the maladies are result of this overstepping.
How he conduct his business is not a concern to God. The cause and effect theory is applicable to human beings. Wherever, he uses his Will and conduct things, the effect of that action is his. Whereas with many revelations by Shruti, Smriti, Prophets and Maharishis and Saints, there is a set procedure made through religions etc. how to conduct the life according to God's Will and not individual Will. There the action and its results are positive and attributable to God's ways. Karma is not a behaviour, it is the individual will and its results and that includes Thought, Speech and Action. Thought includes what you see, what you hear, what you feel, what you taste, what you smell.
Shri Krishna has well explained Karma Philosophy in totality in Bhagwat Gita. We mortals can understand that partially but cannot add anything to it because the Shruti or the revelations from the Cosmic Consciousness is finite.
A human being makes around 60,000 thoughts in a day. The person you are quoting to me as good may not be having all those 60,000 and odd thoughts in the positive way. What he thinks about is manifesting with him. For. e.g. if he thinks "I want money" all the time, without giving any thought to what ever happens around him and focused so in thought speech and action, there is no reason money should not come to him. Because his thoughts have been reduced to a handful from the 60,000. But if he thinks "my neighbour has lot of money or how is that he has money I don't have" these are negative thoughts and will not bring in money, and he will be utilising his maximum thoughts in a day for nothing. Similarly "I want to be healthy" should be the thought and why is it I have diseases? what kind of disease is this? etc,. dwells upon disease and suffering and not on health. So the sufferings comes to him. Because all actions following the thoughts are against what you actually want. Therefore, what you want do not happen and blame the results on God.
Karma is nothing but selfless thought, speech and action. Do not think about the results. If you start thinking about the results, the results becomes your thought and you are not actually thinking on the substance and its result will not be favourable for you. In other words, you spend your present thinking about future and past which are not helpful to anyone. You have to be in present and think only about the present. If you are doing something put your heart and soul into it and that would be your future and that would always be success. This is the secret to success and secret to future.
About people who are spiritual. I do not have Guru nor intent to have one as each one of us have been blessed with the Godly presence in us and its realisation is all what is required for a person to achieve the purpose in life. The path will become clear to you when that realization dawns on you. The principle here also is that those who come automatically to you and give an advise or two which you mostly require is the real Guru and not the ones we chase day in and out and worshiped by some. That is only a path to creation of a religion or sect and cannot be path towards God. One can always take God himself as Guru and proceed. He will show you in times of need where to go. If such mystical experiences are coming to pass, then the search may go on. But not until then. Human consists of spirit and matter and not matter alone, therfore, it is important that the doctors who deal with human beings understand both rather than just identifying it as psychiatry and psychology only. Everything should be understood in this world by definition and not by name. Understanding the things in the world by just names limit the sphere of thought and leads to brain contraction and not brain expansion.
Read:www.sankaracharya.org
Most of the times, human beings forget that the they are formed out of two entities. That is "Matter" and "Spirit".
Just the same way as the "matter" gets degenerated and becomes diseased, the spirit also faces its consequences in the form of sufferings. We call these phenomena as body and mind, sickness and sufferings.
It should therefore be well understood that there is always a spiritual factor, a spiritual design, in more than half of what is happening all around us. This metaphysical half is mostly not understood well by science.
The idea of my explaining this is that, in an acute disease, normally the sufferings are immediate, acute and short-lived by the design of the malady itself and therefore the cosmic consciousness has little role in it and the doctor has more roles in it. Because in acute diseases the mental sufferings are less and bodily pains are more.
But in the case of Chronic ailments, there is a Karma factor, a sin factor, a faith factor, a destiny factor, an action and reaction factor, a cause and effect factor,a time & TIME factor, all come into play along with the Cosmic consciousness we call God. Here the question comes when should we interfere in a chronic patient who by the design of God is supposed to suffer for a period of time. Will it be like working against the nemesis and design of God to interfere in between and get the person relieved from the sufferings? Does it antagonize the God?
A further legitimate question and doubt by a mortal mind would be "What the hell are the doctors doing then? Yes they are treating and taking money. There responsibility to some extent is seemed to end with the money falling in their drawers. Then, aren't these doctors supposed to create a society devoid of diseases? Are they really doing that? Why? The fact is that they aren't. Because, the nobility in the doctors have been lost somewhere in the annals of history and therefore, the number of diseases are also increased and their flourishing depends upon the number of diseases and patients.
Well, this somehow fits into the larger plan of God. Those who are destined to suffer will suffer despite the presence of doctors, because doctors do not pay enough attention to go to the root of the problems and cure so that they create a healthy society rather than cure or suppress the diseases only.
In such a scenario, the question is when to attend to chronic diseases and chronic patients. My answer to this malady is that, attend to the
Chronic diseases only when the person comes to you and request to you. Do not go to the person or chase the person, as you are trying to do now, and give him the medicines to correct him. Here, Self- satisfaction becomes prominent and at the same time you are criss-crossing the God's design of sin and punishment, if at all it is there, the karma and the results.
I only wanted to stress on the point that one should not be chasing the patients rather the patient should chase and meet the doctor on his own when his time for cure destined summons him.
The conclusion is that., if one is designated by the Cosmic designs to work as a healer, come what may, the patients who are destined to be cured will reach the healer immaterial the distance, time, place, or communication facilities. And if the right person comes at the right time to the right healer, it should be presumed that the right medicine will come to his finger tip and its application would cure the person miraculously. I have many instances, and have no doubts whatsoever about that. I have picked up many times from 200 or more medicines placed in a box at random the exact medicine I wanted without checking the labels. It does not happen always. But it do happen many times that I cannot call it co-incidences.
God and human soul are fundamentally same thing. The only difference is God Wills to run the cosmos or macrocosm and human beings have been given the power of will to conduct himself to run his microcosm. It is not in the mandate of human beings to run the world or cosmos, he is overstepping there and all the maladies are result of this overstepping.
How he conduct his business is not a concern to God. The cause and effect theory is applicable to human beings. Wherever, he uses his Will and conduct things, the effect of that action is his. Whereas with many revelations by Shruti, Smriti, Prophets and Maharishis and Saints, there is a set procedure made through religions etc. how to conduct the life according to God's Will and not individual Will. There the action and its results are positive and attributable to God's ways. Karma is not a behaviour, it is the individual will and its results and that includes Thought, Speech and Action. Thought includes what you see, what you hear, what you feel, what you taste, what you smell.
Shri Krishna has well explained Karma Philosophy in totality in Bhagwat Gita. We mortals can understand that partially but cannot add anything to it because the Shruti or the revelations from the Cosmic Consciousness is finite.
A human being makes around 60,000 thoughts in a day. The person you are quoting to me as good may not be having all those 60,000 and odd thoughts in the positive way. What he thinks about is manifesting with him. For. e.g. if he thinks "I want money" all the time, without giving any thought to what ever happens around him and focused so in thought speech and action, there is no reason money should not come to him. Because his thoughts have been reduced to a handful from the 60,000. But if he thinks "my neighbour has lot of money or how is that he has money I don't have" these are negative thoughts and will not bring in money, and he will be utilising his maximum thoughts in a day for nothing. Similarly "I want to be healthy" should be the thought and why is it I have diseases? what kind of disease is this? etc,. dwells upon disease and suffering and not on health. So the sufferings comes to him. Because all actions following the thoughts are against what you actually want. Therefore, what you want do not happen and blame the results on God.
Karma is nothing but selfless thought, speech and action. Do not think about the results. If you start thinking about the results, the results becomes your thought and you are not actually thinking on the substance and its result will not be favourable for you. In other words, you spend your present thinking about future and past which are not helpful to anyone. You have to be in present and think only about the present.

Acharya Pandit Shri Ram Sharma's Centenary celebrations;
Summary and highlights of Resp. Dr. Saheb's lecture:
Dr. Saheb starts the lecture with Mahakal Vandana -
I know why all of you are quite and why my face bears this serene and
deserted look. You all know of the events of the days past. I know how
difficult the situation is, there was cold, there was inconvenience.
People had made plans, people had come with aspirations to see
Shantikunj, DSVV, Exhibition. But they had to be cut short, people had
to be turned away.
But this mission is founded on hope not despair.
It is the mission of that GuruSatta who's proclamation is - 21st Century
Bright Future, it is that GuruSatta's Centenary and we won't allow it to
end in such despair and disappointment.
We planned the celebrations, we invited people from all over, but maybe
Gurudev who can see the future, knew that if more crowds poured in, we
might not be able to handle it well. The event if it would have happened
the next day or day it is possible that the catastrophe might be 1000
times, 10000 times more harmful.
20 people, 20 souls took the whole calamity on themselves. This could
have been worse, much worse. Had not Gurudev intervened.
Even if the program had to be concluded earlier that planned, do not
think that the poornahuti has been interrupted or not done. There have
been a series of Poornahuti Yagyas right from January. There is no
wanting of "Aadhyatmik Purusharth".
Though we have done 40 such programs, but we will be asked what happened
in the 41st program? The fight between Asurta and Devatva, Evil and
Divine is eternal. And Asurta attacks there where the Divinity or Devata
is on the ascent, rise. This is what might have happened, and we were
caught unawares.
Me and GG returned from Laljiwala camp on the 9th night and we have not
had a moment of sleep since the return from camp. We are trying to meet
most of the people who are here before they leave for their homes.
About the events of that day: There is one thing worth noticing, after
the events of the day, after the Shantipath, there was an unique self -
confidence, unique faith that we will endure in everyone. Nowhere there
was a feeling of fear. This Sankalp bal, this power of will is a great
gift, great blessing from Gurudev.
Magisterial inquiries, investigations are going on. The reports will be
out in 10 - 15 days. There has been indications that this incidence was
preplanned and there were arrangements for live recording of this
incidence. We are investigating on this angle as well. If this is not
covered in the Magisterial inquiries, we will make sure that we launch a
plea to investigate who was responsible for this.
Have faith that a very responsible system is active. Mistakes have been
made. Gurudev has caught them early on and has minimized the damage with
minimum possible punishment.
This time is to keep the faith, keep mental stability and confidence.
I have personally met the relatives and seen the mortal remains of the
deceased. We all are praying to GuruSatta for their Sadgati.
From now onwards we will concentrate on our constructive programs and
make sure that we give them high focus and huge impetus. Most important
on them is Vruksha Ganaga Abhiyaan - Tree plantaion dirve, Vyasan Mukti
- De Addiction, Micro Water Harvesting program, Adarsh Gaon and Smriti
Upvan and Apada Prabandahn Vahini.
The most important thing, quality is - AtmaBal. Because we all together
comprise together Gurudev's 3 bodies - Sthool, Sookshma, Karan. These
mission's roots are deep rooted, they are very deep. It is unshakable.
Gurudev has started this mission and a small mistake or irresponsibility
on behalf Dr Pranav Pandya and group cannot affect it.
Do not think that this whole Yagya was left incomplete and was stopped
in between, it is continuous.
He suggested that in terms of Sadhana we can have an anushthan for 9
days (11 mala everyday). Remember, believe in us, have faith in us. We
have experienced each and every breath of Gurudev and have spent
important moments with him. If there is any draw back it can be within
any of us. Do not blame the varishtha karyakartas. Think of how we can
all be together and strengthen ourselves. These are tough times and we
have faced most of it.
Yes, we cannot forget November 8th, I still remember it vividly when I
answered so many questions from the media, around 8 channels interviewed
me. They were initially agitated when they came in but calmed down after
the interview.
Star News reported the worst things that occurred on Nov 9 and in the
evening they mentioned we will tell you what Gayatri Pariwar is. They
gave a detailed description of Gurudev, Gayatri Pariwar, Shantikinj, etc
in the evening news. Would it have been possible otherwise? No one knew
what Gayatri Pariwar is, nor were interested. This is blessing in
disguise, but at the cost of 20 lives who sacrificed themselves. This is
not a small thing and not a good trade off. This recognition of Gayatri
Pariwar has come at a very great cost.
SamvedanSheelta, Empathy is the greatest asset of our mission. If it was
not like that we would not have been able to restore order immediately
after the incident.
We had to continue the Yagya even after the incidence to facilitate
crowd management. To make sure that the crowd which is there to do Yagya
does not divert in any other way and cause more crowd management issues.
The event has occurred to teach us a lesson, to teach us a management
lesson. We have to shoulder even greater responsibilities in 2015, 2020
and 2026. The mission is going to grow not 25 or 50 times but 1000 times
its current state in the coming 10 - 15 years.
This event is a boon in disguise. Keep your mind light and make sure
that it does not go in despair. We have to maintain calm, be calm
yourself and also make others calm. Make sure that we do not encourage
rumors, because rumors do not have hands or legs, they have wings. Its
up to us to make sure that false rumors and false information does not
spread.
We will be having decentralized programs all over India and the world.
We will try to reach out to those people whom we would not have reached
in the big programs.
We begin a new innings now, a new start and with new enthusiasm and
renewed vigor we start our work.
Gurudev used to say that i am a Sher - Lion and we are Lion Cubs. If we
are true children of Gurudev, we will make sure that we conduct
ourselves with dignity and grace and be ever aware that no blemish
should come on our mission or Gayatri Pariwar.
These are the rough hightlights of the lecture, we will be publishing a
better translation soon.

Spiritual thought
झूठा माया-मोह
शिवकुमार गोयल
Story Update : Thursday, November 17, 2011 8:16 PM
सभी मतों और पंथों के आचार्यों ने लोभ, मोह, माया, राग, द्वेष आदि सभी दुगुर्णों को आत्मज्ञान की प्राप्ति में बाधक बताया है। भगवान श्रीकृष्ण अर्जुन से कहते हैं, लोभ, मोह, माया, राग, द्वेष आदि अवगुण मनुष्य के पतन का कारण बनते हैं। जब तक इन दुगुर्णों का त्याग करके मनुष्य अपने मन को छल रहित, निर्मल नहीं बनाएगा, उसका कल्याण असंभव है।
आचार्य चाणक्य ने नीतिशास्त्र में कहा है, लोभ सबसे बड़ा अवगुण है, निंदा सबसे बड़ा पाप है, सत्य सबसे बड़ा तप है, मन की पवित्रता तीर्थों में वास करने के समान पुण्यार्थक है। चाणक्य कहते हैं, अज्ञानी लोग स्वर्णाभूषणों के मोह में पागल बने घूमते रहते हैं, जबकि हमेशा साथ रहने वाला आभूषण तो सत्कर्मों से यश के रूप में प्राप्त किया जाता है। लोग धन-संपत्ति, जिसे कभी भी छीना जा सकता है, हासिल करने के पीछे लगे रहते हैं, जबकि सबसे बड़ी संपत्ति तो विद्या है।
आचार्य भर्तृहरि ने लिखा है, लोभ, मोह, माया आदि ऐसे पातक हैं, जो बड़े से बड़े पुण्यात्मा के मन को डांवाडोल कर घोर से घोर पाप कर्म करने को उद्धत कर देते हैं। मनुष्य घृणित कर्म करने को भी सहसा तत्पर हो जाता है। अतः सबसे पहले लोभ, लालच व माया-मोह जैसे दुगुर्णों का त्याग करना चाहिए।
संत कबीर अपनी साखी में कहते हैं, संसार में माया-मोह सब झूठा है। इसमें दुख ही दुख भरा है। जिस घर में माया-मोह जितना अधिक है, वहां उतना अधिक दुख है। आज चारों ओर फैले भ्रष्टाचार का मूल भी माया-मोह ही है।

SPIRITUAL capital
Sushma Gupta
A person comes here as a naked baby and leaves this world with a simple clothing on. He can't bring anything along except his learning and realization, if there is any. The disintegration of the five elements during death is so painful and unbearable that one can hardly utter a word - Rama or Krishna or any Mantra to help him to sail across. The only means to help or save us is to reach a rightful plane of rebirth or to cut away from this Sansaric world is the accumulation of sufficient merits and the proper realization of the Wisdom or God Consciousness throughout his life.

JANAM SHATABDI-Shri Shri Ram Sharma, Acharya; Shantikunj, Haridwar
I was very happy to see all the preparations going on so well for the Janam Shatabdi Celebration of Acharya Shri Shri Ram Sharma ji.They were all at the grand scale.
But the stampede on 8th November, 2011 in Chandideep during the Havan-yagya, killing several parijans and injuring several others is a great tragedy. I am shocked and I am sad for those who sacrificed their lives for this event. In fact the event was hyped too much against the administrative capabilities of the organization.No doubt, they are the best in organization, coordination and management but it was too big an event to be estimated for its consequences and handling was not easy.I , all the time wished that all the celebrations should end peacefully without any incident.Guru Dev knows the best as what happened and why it happened. I know that our parijan did not loose any thing, there must be something better for those who did jeevan daan.
