Shri Ram Katha Paved the Way to Holistic Development

Shri Ram Katha Paved the Way to Holistic Development

Ram, as believed, is not merely the name of a person who lived during Treta Yuga and had killed the daemon king Ravana. Ram is the name of a strength which lies deep within all human beings. In today's chaotic world where all relationships are devoid of feelings, promises are vague and righteousness is a forgotten word, the divine name of Lord Rama comes to a rescue and re-establishes the bygone humane values. The question is how to get that divine name. Is mere chanting of Shri Ram’s name loudly is divine name or is it more intricate?

To enunciate the true divine name, Divya Jyoti Jagrati Sansthan (DJJS), a socio-spiritual organization organized Shri Ram Katha from June 15 to June 19, 2016. DJJS is working tirelessly for almost 20 years now under the aegis of its founder Gurudev Ashutosh Maharaj Ji. Sadhvi Rupeshwari Bharti Ji, preacher disciple of Gurudev evoked and unleashed the power which makes one realize victory of good over evil.  

Sadhvi Ji lucidly narrated the various episodes of life of Lord Ram and illustrated the relevance of HIS actions in present times. The perfect master of Treta Yuga, Lord Ram, illuminated lives of all His devotees with profound Brahm Gyan (divine knowledge).  Since time immemorial, Brahm Gyan (technique of direct perception of divine light within oneself) is passed on from a perfect master to its disciples. Rupeshwari Bharti Ji explained that during meditation, a disciple is asked to sit in meditation posture and then by grace of Guru, perceives a light at the centre point of forehead between two eyebrows. During Brahma Gyan, one realizes that all external means of attaining divinity is in vain unless one receives this true knowledge from a perfect master. In order to receive this knowledge, no external sensory organ is required and only requirement is a sincere and focused mind.

Ram Katha elucidates that disciples of Lord Ram like Lakshman, Hanuman, Bharat, Shabari, Ahilya, Vibhishan etc. attained greater altitudes in the spiritual paths once they were blessed with Brahma Gyan. Even today, millions of disciples around the world have experienced positive impact in their careers, lives and overall personalities after attaining Brahma Gyan by revered Gurudev Ashutosh Maharaj Ji, the perfect master of today.

Sadhvi Ji further explained that journey to divine name of Shri Ram is not in just attaining Brahm Gyan but the journey starts from that moment. Disciples find their joy in doing selfless service in various ongoing social projects at DJJS, be the hard core criminals of Tihar Jail or the visually and physically challenged individuals, Brahm Gyan has the ardent power to accentuate inner potential of any individual.

The seven day Ram Katha program received huge appreciations by all the guests and visitors. Sadhvi ji's flawless oratory and in depth knowledge on varied subjects was highly praised by the guests. Audience was doubly benefitted as not only they got a discourse on one of great epics Ramayan but also on how to implant those great values taught by Lord Ram in their lives through Brahm Gyan. By incessant practice of this true knowledge and by being united, goal of World peace is very much achievable.

Monthly Spiritual Congregation

Monthly Spiritual Congregation

To achieve greatness; great effort, discipline and consistency are needed. An environment to generate and support such values is needed. Our subconscious mind is very responsive and alert. If we go to a place where people have wrong instincts and bad vibrations, we’ll be impacted by those feelings even if we don’t want to mix with them. On the contrary, positive- inspirational vibrations will change us for the better. Swami Vivekananda once said,

“Fill the brain with high thoughts, highest ideals, and place them day and night before you; and out of that will come great work.”

In order to infuse the real meaning of greatness and also to reveal how to become one in true sense, Divya Jyoti Jagrati Sansthan (DJJS) - a non- government, non-profit and a leading spiritual organization, head and founded by His Holiness Shri Ashutosh Maharaj Ji, organized a program of Monthly Spiritual Congregation in the month of June at different places in India. Many branches like Amravati, Bareilly, Chakan, Dibrugarh, Dabwali Malko Ki, Jodhpur, Latur etc. got drenched into the showers of divinity.

This is a high time where we need to realize that we are not ordinary, there is some part of God within us, which is highly pure, beautiful, positive and worth living for. And one can realize this hidden part only with the help of Brahm Gyan. Many preachers, volunteers and audience witnessed the divine magic in the air and lost into the world of spirituality during the discourse.

In order to describe the humbleness of a sincere prayer at the lotus feet of Lord, somebody has beautiful said,

“It is time to awaken and know this truth,

Light the earthen lamp of devotion and wisdom

And hold firmly to your roots!!

Let the darkness fade away and light penetrate our being,

Behold!, the wait is over, for a New Dawn is breaking on the World Screen!!”

The program served the supreme purpose of disclosing the utmost truth. People got to know that life is so invaluable to all of us, this is a God’s beautiful gift to us and we need to realize its worth by being connected to the powerhouse of the soul ‘Supreme Lord’.

Believing without seeing is blind following

You must have heard people declaring at the top of their voices: ‘We are Christians’ or ‘We are Hindus’ or ‘We are Jews’, etc. Basically, this is all a matter of their belief. Have you ever tried to ponder over what they actually believe in? Generally, we are compelled to believe and, hence, follow whatever we have been granted by our parents and taught right from our birth. We consider ourselves to be Hindus if we are born in a Hindu family, Muslim if born in a Muslim family believing in Prophet Mohammed, Jews if born in a Jewish family, and Christian if born in a family believing in Jesus Christ. However, whatever family you belong to, you cannot be truly religious unless you achieve the direct experience of God, as exhorted by Swami Vivekananda:

Religion is the realization of God.

The aforementioned maxim elucidates the fact that to be a true Hindu or Jew or Mohammedan or Christian, one needs to achieve the practical experience of God. In other words, without the direct perception of God, you cannot be truly religious. Believing in God without seeing is merely a blind following. Moreover, such a belief can never be staunch and steadfast; for it can easily whither away, swayed by the vicissitudes of our life. One of the eye opening incidents in the life history of Lord Buddha vividly exhibits this fact before us.

Once someone approached Lord Buddha and said, ‘O Buddha! My son is looking for a job. If there is any existence of God, then he must get a job within three days.’ Fortunately and to his amazement, the very second day, his son got a job. Out of joy, he came running to Buddha glorifying God, ‘O Buddha! Your God is really great. See, He is so miraculous and powerful that He granted the job to my son. O Buddha, I am overjoyed today. This fulfillment of my wish has made me believe in your God. From now onwards, I can easily believe in your God.’ Seeing his excited state and sensing his pre-conditioned belief in the existence of God, Buddha gave him a token of advice, ‘Dear son, no doubt, God is there, but if you want to develop an unflinching faith in Him, then stop desiring and imposing conditions on Him.’ However, the ignorant man did not pay any heed to his holy advice. Few days passed and that man again visited Buddha and said, ‘O Buddha! My wife is severely sick. If God is there, then she should recover within three days; otherwise, I shall be an atheist again.’ However, to his utter dismay, his wife passed away the very next day, and he came rushing to Lord Buddha condemning and blaming God in full rage.

Dear readers, similar is the flinching faith exercised by the people today. How can conditional belief be staunch and steadfast? The majority of people today are accustomed to believing without any application of the scientific law of experimentation and research to validate what they believe in. Without any verification, they believe in their personal gods, scriptural injunctions, rituals, and ceremonies. There is no harm in believing, but remember that belief is only the first step. It would stagger and prove futile if it fails to culminate in the flowering faith.

There is a world of difference between the two terms- faith and belief. Faith can be defined as the ripened belief, the well-tested and well-verified belief. Suppose, someone comes to you and says, ‘There is a lion outside the building you are sitting in.’ If, relying blindly on his words, you start trembling out of fear, then such a trust of yours, unaccompanied by any investigation, will be called a mere belief that can even be a blind one. However, if after getting the news of the lion, you don’t simply rely on the words of the news giver, instead you start inquiring and investigating and trust in his words only after verification, then this belief of yours can be said to be true faith. Therefore, faith can be described as an unflinching belief developed only after the practical experience.

Similar is the case with religious faith. It too demands a scientific approach. Faith does not mean a cosy belief to rest by; rather, it is a torch to enlighten the Soul for spiritual realization. In the absence of this torch, the belief of the faithful is identical to the unbelief of the faithless; for then it becomes entirely dogmatic. However, no dogma or creed can appease the hunger of a truly religious heart. It is only the practical realization that can quench the spiritual thirst and satiate the spiritual hunger. True religion is a matter of inner practical experience and not that of belief or dogma. However, dear readers, as is explicated quite frequently, this inner practical experience or the direct perception of Almighty dawns only when a Perfect Preceptor (Spiritual Guru) bestows upon us True Knowledge or Divine Knowledge.

The dawn of gender revolution marked by TuHaiShakti Training

The pressing menace of sex selective abortions bears the potential to exacerbate women status and sow seeds of health crisis. To address this global issue, a unique women empowerment drive "Tu Hai Shakti" against sex selective abortions was launched by DJJS under its gender equality initiative ‘Santulan’ on 27th March 2016 in New Delhi. The drive was declared launched by Hon'ble Union Minister of Health & Family Welfare Sh. J. P. Nadda in presence of Hon’ble MP and National Secretary BJP Sh. Maheish Girri; with a target of covering 6000 areas including villages, towns and districts in 8 states of India - Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, New Delhi, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh wherein 8 women ambassadors representing each state along with 77 women forums, 25,000 women volunteers would be carved as change agents to mobilize action and thus sensitize lakhs of people across the country against gender injustice.

To set-forth the campaign, the trainings of volunteers in abovementioned 8 states are being organized by head office santulan team of DJJS to educate them about mode of activities to be conducted, by means of demonstrations and presentations. Beginning the drive from the most gender critical state of the lot-Haryana, the next milestone was the capital city-New Delhi.

The training, conducted by disciple of Shri Ashutosh Maharj Ji and program coordinator of Santulan, was organized on May 28, 2016 at Shiva Palace, Vijay Vihar, Rohini where preachers and volunteers from 12 sub-branches of DJJS in New Delhi & NCR namely Nehru Place, Patel Nagar, Vikaspuri, Vishnu Garden, Dwarka, Pitampura, Qutubgarh, Rohini, Karkardooma, Faridabad, Gurgaon and Ghaziabad were called to strategize the further conduct of campaign with a vision to turn volunteers into change agents who would further reach out to masses to spread the message of save girl child.

The TOT workshop was moderated by Sadhvi Deepika Bharti Ji, disciple of His Holiness Ashutosh Maharaj Ji and the program incharge of DJJS Santulan. A brief on the issue of female feticide and reasons behind skewed sex ratio set the beginning of the workshop; followed by an act on ‘I am a Woman, Is it a crime?’ by team of women volunteers.

A group discussion round was organized where groups were made on the basis of their respective branch and a gender based newspaper cutting was given to them to discuss over. After the discussion, 1 representative from each branch was called on stage to concisely explain their points of discussion and take on it. Post the discussion was a showcase of forum theatre on ‘Elimination of Female Feticide’ to present how deep-rooted the problem persists.

A documentary on DJJS’s perspective and vision of Nari was screened that ignited the spirit of empowerment in every one present. With a short lunch break, an informative presentation was given by Sadhvi Ji to disseminate knowledge of documentation of every activity to be organized under the campaign.

Towards the end was a “I Pledge” round that witnessed commitments of all the participants to work pro-actively for the cause and establishment of a better future for girl child generation to come. The training was concluded with a group photo.

An exclusive exhibition in the form of “Santulan Haat” was arranged for the participants to gauge opinions on prevalent gender discrimination and crime against women. A survey pre-event and post-event was also organized to evaluate and track the change in mind set of an individual.
