Lakshmi Sadhanas of great Rishis and Master of Tantra

Lakshmi Sadhanas of great Rishis and Master of Tantra

Rishi Vashishtth ;- On a Friday, Placed a Lakshmi Yantra before Yourself
and made it consecrated with Shreerodaya Mantra.
Then he lit four lamps representing Riddhi (wealth), Siddhi (spiritual powers), Shubh
(luck) and Laabh (gains). Then with a Sfatik rosary he started to
chant the following Mantra. The Mantra given by Vashishtth is -

Om Hreem Kamal Vaasinyei Pratyaksham Hreem Phat.

For this Sadhana he had a bath at night and sat on a yellow mat facing East . And as he completed 21 rounds of the Mantra, Goddess Lakshmi appeared and said - I am very much pleased with you. I shall forever bless your hermitage with wealth and prosperity. You shall
never have to face any paucity, poverty or sorrow in your life again.

Maharishi Pulatsya :- Lakshmi Sadhana in order to gain wealth and prosperity. Many texts contain reference to this Sadhana. He placed a Shree Lakshmi Yantra in a copper plate and lit
a ghee lamp. He sat on a yellow mat facing North. Then with a White Hakeek rosary he completed 11 rounds of a Mantra which compelled Lakshmi to appear. This proved that the Mantra devised by the sage was really divine and efficacious. The Mantra used by the Rishi was -


Om Hreem Hreem Hreem Kamal Vaasinyei Aagachch Aagachch Hreem Hreem Hreem Namah.

After this many Sadhaks tested the power of this Sadhana and each time it proved miraculously effective.

Shankaracharya ;- On any Sunday night take a plate of copper or bronze and smear black
lamp over it. Then with a silver straw draw a picture of Goddess Lakshmi on it. On it place an Eishwarya Lakshmi Yantra. Then wear white robes and sit facing North. Prepare four lamps of dough and fill them with sesame or mustard oil. Place them on the four corners
of the plate. Then with a Coral rosary chant 31 rounds of the following Mantra.

Om Hreem Hreem Shreem Shreem Hreem Hreem Phat.

On completion of the chanting sleep at that very spot. In the morning you might hear the tinkling sound of anklets. This shall be a sign of advent of Goddess Lakshmi in your house. There shall then never be any paucity in your house.

I have seen many Yogis of the Himalayas use this very Sadhana and
they have experienced that it is a very wonderful Mantra ritual.

Yogi Shivanand:- In the night light six ghee lamps and place them in a plate. Outside the plate place a Vijay Lakshmi Yantra which must be consecrated and Mantra energised with Vijay Mantra. Then with a Rakta Chandan or Coral rosary chant the following Mantra.

Om Shreem Hreem Shreem Shreem Hreem Shreem Phat.

Chant 31 rounds of the Mantra in the same night. Any person who has ever tried this Sadhana has experienced that as soon as the Mantra chanting is over, Goddess Lakshmi appears in a beautiful form and blesses the individual with wealth and prosperity. This is really a
wonderful Sadhana.

SwamiSachidanand

The hermitage of Swami Sachidanand was in Tihri Garhwal. It was very famous and well known. He had procured a very ancient text from Nepal in which a very special Sadhana of Goddess Lakshmi was given which the Yogiraj had successfully accomplished. This amazing
Sadhana is contained in his handwritten autobiography. Many Yogis have gained amazingly much through this Sadhana.

In the night of any Wednesday have a bath and wear yellow clothes.
Sit on a worship mat facing North. In a straight line light eleven lamps filled with oil. You can use mustard, groundnut or sesame oil. Before them place a Lakshmi Siddh Yantra which should be energized with Vishnnu Mantra. Then with a Siddhi rosary chant the following
Mantra. You might hear tinkle of jewellery or have a glimpse of the Goddess but do not leave the chanting in the middle.

Om Shreem Hreem Shreem Ayeim Hreem Shreem Phat.

Several Yogis of the Himalayas have tried this ritual and they experienced that it is really a very powerful Mantra.

---------------------------------------------------

PaglaBaba

Pagla Baba is famous in the whole of India and he has donated lakhs of ruppees in his life time. Still there seems to be no end to his wealth. In his youth he had accomplished a Lakshmi Sadhana which is very secret. It is as follows.

Fill a clay lamp with ghee and place it on your left. Light it. Then with a Kamalgatta rosary chant 21 rounds of the following Mantra.

Om Hreem Eishwarya Shreem Dhan Dhaanyaadhipatayei Ayeim Poornnatva Lakshmi Siddhhayei Namah.

At least 21 rounds have to be chanted. After completion of the chanting place the lamp on the floor. It is said that this ritual has never failed. It is the best Sadhana of the Hath Yog and if
tried with full faith and devotion it can never fail. Before the lamp the Poornnatva Lakshmi Yantra has to be placed. After Sadhana tie the Yantra in a yellow cloth and place it where you keep your cash. It is without doubt one of the best Sadhanas.

---------------------------------------------------

Experiences of some Tantriks

Here I am revealing some high level rituals of some of the greatest masters of the world of Tantra. They have been guarded secretly for ages, for they are very powerful and quick in producing results. It is said that the sun might well fail to rise from the East but these

In the field of Tantra Guru Gorakhnath is remembered with great respect. He accomplished a very powerful Sadhana of Goddess Lakshmi and made his hermitage so prosperous that no matter how much was spent, the wealth never ran out. It is said that Goddess Lakshmi
ever remained present in his hermitage. Many Yogis even claimed to have her glimpse there.

In the night of a Sunday place a Shwetaark Ganpati in a plate and smear it with vermilion. Then with a silver straw write on the idol -


Shreem Hreem Shreem

In the night wear a Dhoti/Saree and stand facing East. Then with a Sfatik rosary chant 11 rounds of the following Mantra.

Hreem Hreem Lakshmi Aagachch Aagachch Hreem Hreem Phat.

Do not sit down or sleep or drink water till 11 rounds are over. If you feel tired you can stand against a wall. There is no need of any lamp or incense in this Sadhana. If you wish you can light an oil or ghee lamp. This is an unfailing ritual and is very success oriented.

---------------------------------------------------

Matsyendranath

Guru Matsyendranath is as famous as Gorakhnath in the field of Tantra. It is said that when it comes to the highest level of Sadhanas Guru Matsyendranath was even more accomplished than Guru Gorakhnath. He had accomplished a very secret Sadhana related to
Goddess Lakshmi which I found in a Tibetan text.

Have a bath and wear a clean Dhoti. Don't wear any other cloth. Sit on the floor without any mat facing the North. Place a Heera Shankh before yourself. Then with a Hakeek rosary chant 31 rounds of the following Mantra.

Take a clay lamp filled with oil in the same palm and light it. With the eyes concentrated on the flame chant the following Mantra with a Red Coral rosary. Chant 11 rounds of the Mantra.

Om Shram Siddheshwaraay Lam Mahaalakshmi Vam Vashyamaanay Phat.

After the Mantra chanting place the Kamroop Manni in a safe place at home. You shall be left amazed by the effect of this Sadhana in a few days. Every Sadhak should surely try this Sadhana.

With a Hakeek rosary chant five rounds of the following Mantra.

Om Hreem Shreem Shriyei Phat

Mahayogi, Paramhamsa Swami Nikhileshwarananda

GURU NIKHIL
In the Jodhpur district of Rajasthan state of India there lived a woman who was known all around for her gentleness and very good conduct. Once, Lord Narayan appeared to her in all his brightness and said, “Good lady, in a week’s time from now I’ll be born as your child. Please name him Narayan ok !”. What the lord told the woman in her dream came true. The woman brought a luminous child to bed.
The twenty first day of the month of April 1933 dawned in new redness and with joy for everyone. The villagers were singing & dancing. It seemed nature herself, overwhelmed with joy, spreading streaks of divine light all over. In short, an atmosphere of welcome to a great godly event had mystically emerged. Amidst all this a child is born, at 10:21 in the morning. Father Pandit Multan Chand Shrimali and mother Rupa Devi are struck by a happy, surprise and named the baby “Narayan”.

Narayan goes growing up. His activities show sign of divinity and extraordinary powers. Right on the twenty seventh days after his birth a big snake spreads its hood over the child’s head and hisses. Frightened the mother, she prays to the snake to leave her child and the divine serpent moves away wriggling. The hindu faith accepts this serpent episode as an indication that the child is virtually divinity.

The child’s education begins. His maternal uncle Ram Sukhaji, who is deeply learned in the Yajurveda, teaches him. He is put to school too. At the age of 5 or 6 he learns the tenets of the Vedas & the Puranas and comits hundreds of holy and philosophical verses to memory. He begins to practice Samadhi. His intellectual and spiritual sharpness astonish the people around. He is benign to all and loves even animals & birds. For all the virtues, he gets known to the village as the ‘saint child’ and is loved by all.

One day he was returning from school, on the way he saw a house on fire. The burning house had a child inside it. The mother of the child was crying for her baby calling out for help. Amidst a big crowd, no one present there dared to run into the house to rescue the child. When the school boy Narayan understands the situation, he hastens into the high flames at the risk of his life and comes safely back with the child in his arms. Narayan is badly injured and it takes him fifteen days in hospital to recover.

It was not an event for an event’s safe; it was something that truly sheds light on one aspect of his extraordinary and charismatic personality. He did what an ordinary human cannot do. For this and several other benign acts this boy got transformed into great spiritual teacher that was Dr. Narayan Dutta Shrimali, who threw himself into flaming fire for saving all humanity and each human individual.

Changes of time made material progress dominant over spiritual endowment. People began to see perfection of life in luxury and physical comfort. Consequently, began to suffer and hue and cry prevailed. Achievements in science & technology brought physical facilities and material resources but failed to provide spiritual peace & happiness.

Relieving men & women from troubles & traumas and bringing them to the right path of life became inevitable. But to do this was quite beyond ordinary human power. Mother Earth wanted some one with extraordinary power who could lead the entire suffering humanity in the right direction. It is for this that the great Dr Naryan Dutta Shrimali was born as an incarnation of God.

The great preceptor (Gurudev) is in fact, the mahayogi, Paramhamsa Swami Nikhileshwarananda of Siddhashram, and this is his eternal individual entity. Siddhashram is a divine place where one can go to only on having attained spiritual perfection. It is somewhere in the vicinity of the great lake Mansarovar and the holy Kailash peak in the Himalayas. The place is , however cannot be seen with physical eyes nor can it be reached by using a scientific equipment. There is, of course, one medium the spiritual height you have attained. The person who manages this place is the great venerable Swami Satchidananda Maharaj and Paramhamsa Swami Nikhileswhwaranda is his most beloved disciple. It is from this place that a nice balance is struck between materialism and spiritualism. When the balance goes bad, divine souls are sent down to the earth. It was in consonance with this master scheme that great holy personages like Ram, Krishna, Guru Gorakh Nath, and Sankharacharya got incarnated. In this iron age, the materialism spiritualism balance went off and swami Nikhileshwarananda was born.

At the age of 12 Gurudev married Bhagvati. Even after his marriage he continued his studies and also started teaching. But this ordinary way of life did not satisfy him. “My life is not only for my family, for earning my livelihood, for employment, it’s for high attainments and for the world”, he thought. From his very childhood he was interested in delving into cores of subjects such as mantra, tantra, dhyan (meditatiaon), yoga, sammohan (hypnotism), palmistry, astrology and Ayurveda and reveal the ultimate truths inherent in them to the inquisitive world. He would ask himself questions such as – Do mantra tantra and the like have powers ? “If they do, how can I achieve the powers and use them for the good of the society?” He knew that life bound to the family would not help and that the great saints & sages who visualized the truths of ancient learning had done so by performing tapasya (penance) in the access remote dales caves in the Himalayan forests. So he decided to quit home and banish himself into the forest. He was at that time working as a teacher and living happily with his parents and his beautiful and gentle wife. In spite of this he chose the life of Sanayas, which, of course, is full of pains and struggles. Thus he decided to sacrifice his own pleasures for the happiness of mankind.

He began a hard and challenging trek over the deep jungles of the Himalayas, looking earnestly for saints performing tapasya in the stony caves. His only purpose was to get the sages and obtain from them mystic and elemental knowledge. By his undaunted and unceasing efforts he succeeded in quenching his thirst for knowledge of the truths. The saints from whose darshan he benefited were Swami Purnananda, Trijata Aghori, Swami Prabhupada, Kinkar Baba, Naga Baba and others. In the course of his quest tours he had also came to Nepal and obtained mystic knowledge from Babas like Bhurbhuwa Baba, Pagala Baba, Tringker Swami and Kamarupa Baba.

It was on this Sanyas tour he met the great guru Swami Sachidananda, and he regards this as the greatest achievement of his life. During the tour he thoroughly studied all the subjects such as mantra, tantra, dhyan, yoga, sammohan, astrology, palmistry, Ayurneda. Chemistry & solar science, investigated into their scientific aspects to see how man can benefit from the findings. He assimilated all the knowledge and obtaining the blessings of his great guru, he returned home and became a grihastha (entered into family life) again.

For the great venerable gurudev, who had lived long on open ground under the blue sky, it was in all ways difficult to return to family life but he did so. Gurudev was sorry that the invaluable learning which the sages, our ancestors had treasured by efforts of thousands of years was about to go extinct the posterity kept them withheld. To reach the knowledge and learning out to the society, it was imperative for him to live as part of it. That is why he chose to return to the society. Divine souls set every step and do every work for the welfare of the world.

He disproved the so called social acceptance that to be a spiritual one needs to quit home by marrying the venerable Bhagvati shrimali. Despite his conjugal life at home he remained spiritually active. He has unfolded the mystic knowledge of Bharatvarsa through books, camps, lectures and deeksha. Through out his life he worked for human welfare by rising above psycho social complexes concerning ethnicity, communalism, religion and nationality.

He started his work with the study of astronomy. He explained the theories and methods of this ancient science of Bharatvarsh, rendering them easily comprehensible. It is particularly for this that he is counted as the topmost astronomer of the world. He has rejuvenated the system of mantra and tantra, sadhana practice. It is by his continued contributions that practice areas like palmistry, sammohan, Ayurveda, chemistry, dhyan, yoga, have regained popularity and interest in mystic studies like solar science, paravigyan, kriya yoga and kundalini shakti have revived.

He has analyzed the tenets of these studies, which are formulated in difficult sanskrit verses, in a scientific aspects in easy language. The proofs which he has given will greatly help men to solve their material problems and attain spiritual heights.

Pujyapad Gurudeva thus restored the invaluable treasure of ancient learning and scholarship for the welfare of mankind. When he saw that the society was getting gradually westernized at the cost of its glorious ancient heritage he left no stone unturned to revive and rehabilitate the society’s intellectual spiritual heritage, including the mantra and tantra practices in its original and undefined form. In this connection he has published a monthly magazine with the title “Mantra Tantra Yantra Vigyan”, which, of course, has earned a special place in the world of spiritualism. He has at the same time, established the Siddhashram Sadhak Pariwar” and thus perpetuated the glorious “gurukul tradition”. He has given top most priority to producing excellent disciplines. He says “A live disciple is a living book which will enlighten the age to come”

Perfection of life consists in a true balance of spirituality and materialism. That was what Gurudeve pursued as his ideal, and in that his material life was all perfect. Father of three sons and two daughters, he lived a successful grihastha life. He had earned M.A. degree in Hindi from Rajasthan University and the Ph. D. in the same subject from the university of Jodhapur, where he later served as the head of the department of Hindi. Many people had the honor of being his students at the university. He had a command of many languages.

Getting excellence in a particular field of learning needs whole life time. The great guru, alone, succeeded in re establishing the whole body of ancient learning in all its perfection, which proves that he was not an ordinary human.

However, for all that he did he had to suffer on his head from the ignorant society and the hypo critic clergy (religious officials). He was accused, insulted and divided,. There were even conspiracies against him.

Gurudeva who endeavored to enlighten the world was himself smudged. The people only viewed him as mere flesh and blood but did not see the divinity he wore. They see him just as a scholar, writer and astronomer. It is not under the power of an ordinary human to recognize a singular person. There were however some people and institutions who knowingly or unknowingly, paid him their respect.

In the year 1982, the then president of India Dr. B.D. Jatti conferred on him the title of “Mahamaopadhyaya” and in 1988 the Mantra Sansthan of Ujain honored him with the title “Mantra Siromani”. And in 1989, Dr. Sanker Dayal Sharma, the vice president of India decorated him with the title “Samaj Siromani”. And in 1991, during his Nepal visit for “Viswoshanti Mahayangya and Shivalaxmi Sadhan Sivir” the then prime minister of Nepal Krishna Prasad Bhattarai had specially felicitated and honored him on behalf of Nepal. Similarly in 1992 Sir Jagannath Anirudra, prime minister of Mauritias, honoured him with the title “Jagat guru” and in 1993 a temple of gurudev was inaugurated.

Pujyapad Gurudev made every moment of his life meaningful, eventful and human welfare oriented. He taught the society the lesson of love and fraternity and called it to fight superstition and narrow mindedness. He lifted men and women from luxuries of life and pleasures of the world enticed them to sadhana and tapahsya. He has also softened the rigours of sadnana and tapasya with the sweetness of music and dance. He has thus, shown that one could achieve spiritually and achieve godlines even along living in the life of grihastha.

Having performed all the tasks which God had assigned him and living the future responsibilities on the shoulders of his disciples, the great guru departed from the world at early day break on July 3, 1998. He had told his disciples that his last day on earth had come. He had also told them his body should be given a very simple funeral and that the news of his demise should remain undelivered through the media. We salute our beloved Jagadguru again and again hundreds of times.

Now he is present in the universe as Param hamsa Swami Nikhilesworananda Maharaj (Gurudeva) and providing guidance to his disciples for the welfare of the people. The disciples get his darshan during their dhyan, Sadhna, and dreams, even they see and feel his presence and can talk to him about their problems and concerns. Any body those who have been performing sadhana can get his darshan, feel his presence and talk to him. One can experience and feel about gurudeva, who has achieved the height of Sadhan and devotion, through this one can know about invaluable things of the universe also.

It is not possible to venture describing the work done by him in the article. He has done so much work, even that could not be done by thousands of organizations together, the title ‘man of the age’ even seems less to him. In short, during his stay on earth he concentrated about two things: (1) to visualize the truths of ancient invaluable learning which had treasured by our ancestors, and (2) to prepare real great disciples to do every work for the welfare of the world.

His main goal was to make a real spiritual age on earth, to accomplish this task he has been providing guidance as Paramhamsa Swami Nikhilesworananda Maharaj (Gurudeva) for the welfare of the people of the world. Siddhashram Shakti Kendra finds itself blessed with opportunities to remain constant to ideals of the great gurudeva and help him in the execution of his plan for the restoration and revival of the spiritual world where humans can live in peace and happiness. This, in fact, is a matter of glory not only for the Nepalese nation but also for the entire world. Gurudeva was born not for a particular nation of religion but for the mankind as a whole. The day will come when mankind will know this.

A mere dip in the lake not only cures all the ailments but also confers divinity upon that person. The mind is also cleaned from the impure negative thoughts and the person attains a higher divine elevation.

The siddh Yogis ,ascetics and aspirants of thousands of years are engaged in penance in Siddhashram. .The great seers like Maharishi Vashistha, Vishwamitra, Kanad, Pulasya, Atri, Bheesma,Kripacharya, Gorakhnath and Sankaracharya can be seen wandering in the physical form and also one can have the privilege of listening to their sermons. Furthermore heavenly maidens wander here and there and are fortunate to be able to perform their dance. .Siddhashram is an abode for unique yogis who are engaged in penance .Some are teaching the intricacies of sadhnas to their disciples , some are reciting the Vedas . All religious activities are ongoing permanently as there is no restriction and no tension at all .No one has any sorrow and in this way, there is eternal ecstasy, bliss and joy all around the ashram.

Paramhans Swami Satchidanandji, the famous " Kalpa Vriksha" stands bloomed to its full maturity and fulfills immediately every wish and any materialistic article can be obtained within seconds. Some Yogis of higher order sit for years in Samadhi and remained fully absorbed for years and years. There is no restrictions in this ashram. Every aspirant is free and at liberty, yet everyone is bound to abide by some unknown laws.

It is very difficult to enter the Siddhashram as there are only three disciples who have been initiated by Mahayogi Swami Satchidanand , the founder of Siddhashram .Swami Nikhileshwaranandji and his only spiritual disciple Paramhans Yogiraj Swami Nirvikalpanand are the two last disciples who have been blessed by this boon, Yogiraj swami Nirvikalpanand is fortunate to have been blessed as the divine emissary to desiminate the sacred science of Kriya Yoga to this world. Furthermore only these two last disciples have been allowed to enter the Siddhashram and to come back to this planet with specific assignments.

This is indeed a great fortune for India to have such a divine and unique place of penance as Siddhashram, where all disciples in search of this supreme soul can aspire to enter the after going through various Sadhna practice under the guidance of a Siddh Living Guru such as Paramhans Yogiraj Swami Nirvikalpanand

By Parveen Chopra

Hidden in a valley in the remote Himalayas, it is said, is Gyanganj, a home for immortals. Call it Shambala, Shangri-La or Siddhashram, believers say it is this celestial kingdom that shapes our destiny

It was during an impromptu meeting with intellectuals and seekers at Punjabi poet Amrita Pritam's house in Delhi, India, that Sai Kaka casually revealed: "I have been to Gyanganj several times over the past half decade." Or, rather, he is taken there every time by a sage—for spiritual instruction and immortal teachings.

This instruction must be of a high order because the 50-plus, bearded and white-robed Sai Kaka has now been teaching whoever approaches him. The man from Sangli in the south-western Indian state of Maharashtra, who studied with Swami Muktananda and Nisargadatta Maharaj, is always on the move, having chosen not to raise an ashram or an organization.

On questioning, he replies in chaste Hindi that Gyanganj exists on a different plane, a higher dimension—a shambala. But, yes, on the gross level it has parallel locations in known places on earth.

So, is there a secret territory in our midst, which has uncannily escaped all geographical surveys? A place that provides the perfect environment and opportunities for spiritual evolution? A place from where thousands of immortals and faultlessly sage beings plan the evolution of the human race, in fact, of all sentient beings?

Down-to-earth empirical reality or just bad science fiction?

Well, the belief that such a place exists, camouflaged and secluded somewhere in the deep Himalayas, has filtered down through Indian and Tibetan traditions.

Contemporary references to it are plenty, as is the testimony of people like Sai Kaka who declare they have been there. The belief in a sequestered valley of immortals seems to be headed for immortality.

In Tibet, this legendary land of spiritual enlightenment is known as Shambala, a Sanskrit word which to the Tibetans means "the source of happiness". It is not heaven on earth but a mystical kingdom that guards the most sacred and secret spiritual teachings of the world, including the Kalachakra (Wheel of Time), the pinnacle of Buddhist wisdom.

Buddhists trace Shambala to Gautama Buddha who is said to have assumed the form of the Kalachakra deity before his death and delivered his highest teaching to a group of adepts and gods in south India. Among those present was King Suchandra, the first king of Shambala, who wrote down the sermons and took them back with him.

Various Buddhist texts give instructions for finding Shambala, though directions are obscure. It is assumed that only accomplished yogis will find it. The kingdom is hidden in the mists of the snow mountains and can be reached only by flying over them with the help of siddhis or spiritual powers. James Hilton's novel, Lost Horizon, about the lost kingdom of Shangri-La, was inspired by the legend of Shambala. Shangri-La has since come to mean a remote, beautiful, imaginary place where life approaches perfection; utopia, in short.

Shambala was not a figment of the imagination for Madame Blavatsky, founder of the Theosophical Society. She considered it the abode of the mahatmas or spiritual adepts, in the mountains of Tibet, Mongolia and India. They live on through centuries in various incarnations, perpetuating the knowledge of earlier, more spiritually advanced, civilizations like the Egyptian and the Greek, and teach it to worthy pupils.


One of these adepts, Koot Hoomi (or Kuthumi Baba, at least 500 years old) was Blavatsky's guru.

In India, this secret, sacred land is known as Gyanganj or Siddhashram. References to Gyanganj or secret ashrams can be found in Hindu scriptures such as Valmiki Ramayan and Mahabharat. Guru Nanak called it Sach Khand.

Closer to our time, Paramahansa Yogananda, in his celebrated Autobiography of a Yogi wrote about meeting his guru's guru's guru, Mahavatar Babaji, an immortal of great age who looks forever young and continues to live in the Badrinath section of the Himalayas.

Babaji has also appeared to some other advanced seekers and is believed to be connected with Gyanganj. For a comprehensive account of Gyanganj, Sai Kaka directs you to the writings of Gopinath Kaviraj who died in 1976. A former principal of the Government College of Sanskrit in Benaras, Kaviraj wrote a book titled Siddhabhoomi Gyanganj, which has been translated from Bengali into Hindi and published recently by Bharatiya Vidya Prakashan.

Kaviraj's main source of information was his own guru, Swami Vishudhananda, a Bengali who settled down in Benaras, a holy city in India. Vishudhananda is believed to have sojourned many times in Gyanganj where he mastered Surya Vigyan or solar science. Surya Vigyan gave him powers to manifest objects or transform one object into another by manipulating the sun's rays. In his autobiography, Yogananda describes his meeting with Vishudhananda in Calcutta and witnessing his feat of creating any perfume on demand out of thin air. Paul Brunton in his book A Search in Secret India wrote that he not only witnessed Vishudhananda create perfumes, but also bring a dead bird back to life.

Dr Narayan Dutt Shrimali, a Jodhpur-based astrologer-tantrik-guru who publishes Mantra-Tantra-Yantra Vigyan, a Hindi monthly, says he did his sadhana in Siddhashrarn, where his name was Nikhileshwarananda. It is there that he acquired occult powers. Later, his guru told him that they wanted him to return to his householder's life and spread the wisdom of Siddhashram. Literature published by him promises that initiation by him is a passport to Siddhashram. But he refuses to reveal more details of his Gyanganj connection.

Shrimali's and Kaviraj's accounts of Gyanganj are similar. They place it mainly on a flatland to the north of Kailash-Mansarovar in Tibet. It covers an area of many square miles and is surrounded by a lake (or moat) with crystal clear water. There is a bow-shaped drawbridge, which links Gyanganj to our world.

The Gyanganj end of this bridge has a gadget to lift the bridge when desired. This gadget is operated by Surya Vigyan. Kaviraj names many other places, scattered in India, as Gyanganj territory. The area on the banks of Alaknanda river is where the siddhas roam. Mandakini's riverbed is also very mysterious: spiritual giants down the centuries have beheld celestial sights there. Thus, the entire region from Rishikesh to Kailash and Yamunotri to Nandadevi is siddhaland. In Bihar, many Buddhist siddhas frequent the Giridhkoot mountain. The Nilgiris and Srisailam in south India, too, are known to harbor secret ashrams. Arunachala hill in Tamil Nadu, where Ramana Maharshi set up his ashram, is another siddhaland. In the west, Girnaur mountain has seen siddha activity.

Teaching in arts and sciences including medicine, rasayan shastra, music and astrology also goes on here. Indians, of course, do not have a monopoly over Gyanganj. People from other parts of the world, including many Tibetan lamas, live there too.

Sai Kaka adds that Gyanganj functions on all three levels: "On the adhyatmic or spiritual level, it runs the universe. On the adhidevik or celestial level, the earth and water elements are absent, enabling very powerful activity. At this level, Gyanganj impacts on many planes and the beings there.

"On the adhibhautic or the grossest level," he continues, "Gyanganj siddhas provide guidance to human beings to initiate changes in the spiritual and even social fields. Suppose a seeker is stuck somewhere in his path, he could be guided in the form of an intuition, or some kriya triggered in his subtle body or his guru is inspired to do the needful."

Sai Kaka argues from his experience with, and knowledge of, Gyanganj, that all's well with whatever is going on in human affairs. "Earlier the suffering in the world would make me emotional, would pain me and fill me with compassion. Now I realize that right and wrong, good and bad exist on the relative plane—of mind, intellect and ego—and are an interplay of the three gunas.

From God's viewpoint, there is nonduality. Creation and dissolution are part of the continual flow." Though there can be no evolution in a flow, Sai Kaka concedes that Gyanganj is engaged in transforming world consciousness. Maybe with the collective consciousness rising, Gyanganj will become more manifest and easily accessible to human beings.

For who would not want to visit the place where immortals live.

Mahayogi,Swami Nikhileshwarananda Ji Birth Story

indiariaz says:
GURU NIKHIL
In the Jodhpur district of Rajasthan state of India there lived a woman who was known all around for her gentleness and very good conduct. Once, Lord Narayan appeared to her in all his brightness and said, “Good lady, in a week’s time from now I’ll be born as your child. Please name him Narayan ok !”. What the lord told the woman in her dream came true. The woman brought a luminous child to bed.
The twenty first day of the month of April 1933 dawned in new redness and with joy for everyone. The villagers were singing & dancing. It seemed nature herself, overwhelmed with joy, spreading streaks of divine light all over. In short, an atmosphere of welcome to a great godly event had mystically emerged. Amidst all this a child is born, at 10:21 in the morning. Father Pandit Multan Chand Shrimali and mother Rupa Devi are struck by a happy, surprise and named the baby “Narayan”.

Narayan goes growing up. His activities show sign of divinity and extraordinary powers. Right on the twenty seventh days after his birth a big snake spreads its hood over the child’s head and hisses. Frightened the mother, she prays to the snake to leave her child and the divine serpent moves away wriggling. The hindu faith accepts this serpent episode as an indication that the child is virtually divinity.

The child’s education begins. His maternal uncle Ram Sukhaji, who is deeply learned in the Yajurveda, teaches him. He is put to school too. At the age of 5 or 6 he learns the tenets of the Vedas & the Puranas and comits hundreds of holy and philosophical verses to memory. He begins to practice Samadhi. His intellectual and spiritual sharpness astonish the people around. He is benign to all and loves even animals & birds. For all the virtues, he gets known to the village as the ‘saint child’ and is loved by all.

One day he was returning from school, on the way he saw a house on fire. The burning house had a child inside it. The mother of the child was crying for her baby calling out for help. Amidst a big crowd, no one present there dared to run into the house to rescue the child. When the school boy Narayan understands the situation, he hastens into the high flames at the risk of his life and comes safely back with the child in his arms. Narayan is badly injured and it takes him fifteen days in hospital to recover.

It was not an event for an event’s safe; it was something that truly sheds light on one aspect of his extraordinary and charismatic personality. He did what an ordinary human cannot do. For this and several other benign acts this boy got transformed into great spiritual teacher that was Dr. Narayan Dutta Shrimali, who threw himself into flaming fire for saving all humanity and each human individual.

Changes of time made material progress dominant over spiritual endowment. People began to see perfection of life in luxury and physical comfort. Consequently, began to suffer and hue and cry prevailed. Achievements in science & technology brought physical facilities and material resources but failed to provide spiritual peace & happiness.

Relieving men & women from troubles & traumas and bringing them to the right path of life became inevitable. But to do this was quite beyond ordinary human power. Mother Earth wanted some one with extraordinary power who could lead the entire suffering humanity in the right direction. It is for this that the great Dr Naryan Dutta Shrimali was born as an incarnation of God.

The great preceptor (Gurudev) is in fact, the mahayogi, Paramhamsa Swami Nikhileshwarananda of Siddhashram, and this is his eternal individual entity. Siddhashram is a divine place where one can go to only on having attained spiritual perfection. It is somewhere in the vicinity of the great lake Mansarovar and the holy Kailash peak in the Himalayas. The place is , however cannot be seen with physical eyes nor can it be reached by using a scientific equipment. There is, of course, one medium the spiritual height you have attained. The person who manages this place is the great venerable Swami Satchidananda Maharaj and Paramhamsa Swami Nikhileswhwaranda is his most beloved disciple. It is from this place that a nice balance is struck between materialism and spiritualism. When the balance goes bad, divine souls are sent down to the earth. It was in consonance with this master scheme that great holy personages like Ram, Krishna, Guru Gorakh Nath, and Sankharacharya got incarnated. In this iron age, the materialism spiritualism balance went off and swami Nikhileshwarananda was born.

At the age of 12 Gurudev married Bhagvati. Even after his marriage he continued his studies and also started teaching. But this ordinary way of life did not satisfy him. “My life is not only for my family, for earning my livelihood, for employment, it’s for high attainments and for the world”, he thought. From his very childhood he was interested in delving into cores of subjects such as mantra, tantra, dhyan (meditatiaon), yoga, sammohan (hypnotism), palmistry, astrology and Ayurveda and reveal the ultimate truths inherent in them to the inquisitive world. He would ask himself questions such as – Do mantra tantra and the like have powers ? “If they do, how can I achieve the powers and use them for the good of the society?” He knew that life bound to the family would not help and that the great saints & sages who visualized the truths of ancient learning had done so by performing tapasya (penance) in the access remote dales caves in the Himalayan forests. So he decided to quit home and banish himself into the forest. He was at that time working as a teacher and living happily with his parents and his beautiful and gentle wife. In spite of this he chose the life of Sanayas, which, of course, is full of pains and struggles. Thus he decided to sacrifice his own pleasures for the happiness of mankind.

He began a hard and challenging trek over the deep jungles of the Himalayas, looking earnestly for saints performing tapasya in the stony caves. His only purpose was to get the sages and obtain from them mystic and elemental knowledge. By his undaunted and unceasing efforts he succeeded in quenching his thirst for knowledge of the truths. The saints from whose darshan he benefited were Swami Purnananda, Trijata Aghori, Swami Prabhupada, Kinkar Baba, Naga Baba and others. In the course of his quest tours he had also came to Nepal and obtained mystic knowledge from Babas like Bhurbhuwa Baba, Pagala Baba, Tringker Swami and Kamarupa Baba.

It was on this Sanyas tour he met the great guru Swami Sachidananda, and he regards this as the greatest achievement of his life. During the tour he thoroughly studied all the subjects such as mantra, tantra, dhyan, yoga, sammohan, astrology, palmistry, Ayurneda. Chemistry & solar science, investigated into their scientific aspects to see how man can benefit from the findings. He assimilated all the knowledge and obtaining the blessings of his great guru, he returned home and became a grihastha (entered into family life) again.

For the great venerable gurudev, who had lived long on open ground under the blue sky, it was in all ways difficult to return to family life but he did so. Gurudev was sorry that the invaluable learning which the sages, our ancestors had treasured by efforts of thousands of years was about to go extinct the posterity kept them withheld. To reach the knowledge and learning out to the society, it was imperative for him to live as part of it. That is why he chose to return to the society. Divine souls set every step and do every work for the welfare of the world.

He disproved the so called social acceptance that to be a spiritual one needs to quit home by marrying the venerable Bhagvati shrimali. Despite his conjugal life at home he remained spiritually active. He has unfolded the mystic knowledge of Bharatvarsa through books, camps, lectures and deeksha. Through out his life he worked for human welfare by rising above psycho social complexes concerning ethnicity, communalism, religion and nationality.

He started his work with the study of astronomy. He explained the theories and methods of this ancient science of Bharatvarsh, rendering them easily comprehensible. It is particularly for this that he is counted as the topmost astronomer of the world. He has rejuvenated the system of mantra and tantra, sadhana practice. It is by his continued contributions that practice areas like palmistry, sammohan, Ayurveda, chemistry, dhyan, yoga, have regained popularity and interest in mystic studies like solar science, paravigyan, kriya yoga and kundalini shakti have revived.

He has analyzed the tenets of these studies, which are formulated in difficult sanskrit verses, in a scientific aspects in easy language. The proofs which he has given will greatly help men to solve their material problems and attain spiritual heights.

Pujyapad Gurudeva thus restored the invaluable treasure of ancient learning and scholarship for the welfare of mankind. When he saw that the society was getting gradually westernized at the cost of its glorious ancient heritage he left no stone unturned to revive and rehabilitate the society’s intellectual spiritual heritage, including the mantra and tantra practices in its original and undefined form. In this connection he has published a monthly magazine with the title “Mantra Tantra Yantra Vigyan”, which, of course, has earned a special place in the world of spiritualism. He has at the same time, established the Siddhashram Sadhak Pariwar” and thus perpetuated the glorious “gurukul tradition”. He has given top most priority to producing excellent disciplines. He says “A live disciple is a living book which will enlighten the age to come”

Perfection of life consists in a true balance of spirituality and materialism. That was what Gurudeve pursued as his ideal, and in that his material life was all perfect. Father of three sons and two daughters, he lived a successful grihastha life. He had earned M.A. degree in Hindi from Rajasthan University and the Ph. D. in the same subject from the university of Jodhapur, where he later served as the head of the department of Hindi. Many people had the honor of being his students at the university. He had a command of many languages.

Getting excellence in a particular field of learning needs whole life time. The great guru, alone, succeeded in re establishing the whole body of ancient learning in all its perfection, which proves that he was not an ordinary human.

However, for all that he did he had to suffer on his head from the ignorant society and the hypo critic clergy (religious officials). He was accused, insulted and divided,. There were even conspiracies against him.

Gurudeva who endeavored to enlighten the world was himself smudged. The people only viewed him as mere flesh and blood but did not see the divinity he wore. They see him just as a scholar, writer and astronomer. It is not under the power of an ordinary human to recognize a singular person. There were however some people and institutions who knowingly or unknowingly, paid him their respect.

In the year 1982, the then president of India Dr. B.D. Jatti conferred on him the title of “Mahamaopadhyaya” and in 1988 the Mantra Sansthan of Ujain honored him with the title “Mantra Siromani”. And in 1989, Dr. Sanker Dayal Sharma, the vice president of India decorated him with the title “Samaj Siromani”. And in 1991, during his Nepal visit for “Viswoshanti Mahayangya and Shivalaxmi Sadhan Sivir” the then prime minister of Nepal Krishna Prasad Bhattarai had specially felicitated and honored him on behalf of Nepal. Similarly in 1992 Sir Jagannath Anirudra, prime minister of Mauritias, honoured him with the title “Jagat guru” and in 1993 a temple of gurudev was inaugurated.

Pujyapad Gurudev made every moment of his life meaningful, eventful and human welfare oriented. He taught the society the lesson of love and fraternity and called it to fight superstition and narrow mindedness. He lifted men and women from luxuries of life and pleasures of the world enticed them to sadhana and tapahsya. He has also softened the rigours of sadnana and tapasya with the sweetness of music and dance. He has thus, shown that one could achieve spiritually and achieve godlines even along living in the life of grihastha.

Having performed all the tasks which God had assigned him and living the future responsibilities on the shoulders of his disciples, the great guru departed from the world at early day break on July 3, 1998. He had told his disciples that his last day on earth had come. He had also told them his body should be given a very simple funeral and that the news of his demise should remain undelivered through the media. We salute our beloved Jagadguru again and again hundreds of times.

Now he is present in the universe as Param hamsa Swami Nikhilesworananda Maharaj (Gurudeva) and providing guidance to his disciples for the welfare of the people. The disciples get his darshan during their dhyan, Sadhna, and dreams, even they see and feel his presence and can talk to him about their problems and concerns. Any body those who have been performing sadhana can get his darshan, feel his presence and talk to him. One can experience and feel about gurudeva, who has achieved the height of Sadhan and devotion, through this one can know about invaluable things of the universe also.

It is not possible to venture describing the work done by him in the article. He has done so much work, even that could not be done by thousands of organizations together, the title ‘man of the age’ even seems less to him. In short, during his stay on earth he concentrated about two things: (1) to visualize the truths of ancient invaluable learning which had treasured by our ancestors, and (2) to prepare real great disciples to do every work for the welfare of the world.

His main goal was to make a real spiritual age on earth, to accomplish this task he has been providing guidance as Paramhamsa Swami Nikhilesworananda Maharaj (Gurudeva) for the welfare of the people of the world. Siddhashram Shakti Kendra finds itself blessed with opportunities to remain constant to ideals of the great gurudeva and help him in the execution of his plan for the restoration and revival of the spiritual world where humans can live in peace and happiness. This, in fact, is a matter of glory not only for the Nepalese nation but also for the entire world. Gurudeva was born not for a particular nation of religion but for the mankind as a whole. The day will come when mankind will know this.

Furthermore heavenly maidens wander here and there and are fortunate to be able to perform their dance. .Siddhashram is an abode for unique yogis who are engaged in penance .Some are teaching the intricacies of sadhnas to their disciples , some are reciting the Vedas . All religious activities are ongoing permanently as there is no restriction and no tension at all .No one has any sorrow and in this way, there is eternal ecstasy, bliss and joy all around the ashram.

Paramhans Swami Satchidanandji, the famous " Kalpa Vriksha" stands bloomed to its full maturity and fulfills immediately every wish and any materialistic article can be obtained within seconds. Some Yogis of higher order sit for years in Samadhi and remained fully absorbed for years and years. There is no restrictions in this ashram. Every aspirant is free and at liberty, yet everyone is bound to abide by some unknown laws.

It is very difficult to enter the Siddhashram as there are only three disciples who have been initiated by Mahayogi Swami Satchidanand , the founder of Siddhashram .Swami Nikhileshwaranandji and his only spiritual disciple Paramhans Yogiraj Swami Nirvikalpanand are the two last disciples who have been blessed by this boon, Yogiraj swami Nirvikalpanand is fortunate to have been blessed as the divine emissary to desiminate the sacred science of Kriya Yoga to this world. Furthermore only these two last disciples have been allowed to enter the Siddhashram and to come back to this planet with specific assignments.

This is indeed a great fortune for India to have such a divine and unique place of penance as Siddhashram, where all disciples in search of this supreme soul can aspire to enter the after going through various Sadhna practice under the guidance of a Siddh Living Guru such as Paramhans Yogiraj Swami Nirvikalpanand

By Parveen Chopra

Hidden in a valley in the remote Himalayas, it is said, is Gyanganj, a home for immortals. Call it Shambala, Shangri-La or Siddhashram, believers say it is this celestial kingdom that shapes our destiny

It was during an impromptu meeting with intellectuals and seekers at Punjabi poet Amrita Pritam's house in Delhi, India, that Sai Kaka casually revealed: "I have been to Gyanganj several times over the past half decade." Or, rather, he is taken there every time by a sage—for spiritual instruction and immortal teachings.

This instruction must be of a high order because the 50-plus, bearded and white-robed Sai Kaka has now been teaching whoever approaches him. The man from Sangli in the south-western Indian state of Maharashtra, who studied with Swami Muktananda and Nisargadatta Maharaj, is always on the move, having chosen not to raise an ashram or an organization.

On questioning, he replies in chaste Hindi that Gyanganj exists on a different plane, a higher dimension—a shambala. But, yes, on the gross level it has parallel locations in known places on earth.

So, is there a secret territory in our midst, which has uncannily escaped all geographical surveys? A place that provides the perfect environment and opportunities for spiritual evolution? A place from where thousands of immortals and faultlessly sage beings plan the evolution of the human race, in fact, of all sentient beings?

Down-to-earth empirical reality or just bad science fiction?

Well, the belief that such a place exists, camouflaged and secluded somewhere in the deep Himalayas, has filtered down through Indian and Tibetan traditions.

Contemporary references to it are plenty, as is the testimony of people like Sai Kaka who declare they have been there. The belief in a sequestered valley of immortals seems to be headed for immortality.

In Tibet, this legendary land of spiritual enlightenment is known as Shambala, a Sanskrit word which to the Tibetans means "the source of happiness". It is not heaven on earth but a mystical kingdom that guards the most sacred and secret spiritual teachings of the world, including the Kalachakra (Wheel of Time), the pinnacle of Buddhist wisdom.

Buddhists trace Shambala to Gautama Buddha who is said to have assumed the form of the Kalachakra deity before his death and delivered his highest teaching to a group of adepts and gods in south India. Among those present was King Suchandra, the first king of Shambala, who wrote down the sermons and took them back with him.

Various Buddhist texts give instructions for finding Shambala, though directions are obscure. It is assumed that only accomplished yogis will find it. The kingdom is hidden in the mists of the snow mountains and can be reached only by flying over them with the help of siddhis or spiritual powers. James Hilton's novel, Lost Horizon, about the lost kingdom of Shangri-La, was inspired by the legend of Shambala. Shangri-La has since come to mean a remote, beautiful, imaginary place where life approaches perfection; utopia, in short.

Shambala was not a figment of the imagination for Madame Blavatsky, founder of the Theosophical Society. She considered it the abode of the mahatmas or spiritual adepts, in the mountains of Tibet, Mongolia and India. They live on through centuries in various incarnations, perpetuating the knowledge of earlier, more spiritually advanced, civilizations like the Egyptian and the Greek, and teach it to worthy pupils.


One of these adepts, Koot Hoomi (or Kuthumi Baba, at least 500 years old) was Blavatsky's guru.

In India, this secret, sacred land is known as Gyanganj or Siddhashram. References to Gyanganj or secret ashrams can be found in Hindu scriptures such as Valmiki Ramayan and Mahabharat. Guru Nanak called it Sach Khand.

Closer to our time, Paramahansa Yogananda, in his celebrated Autobiography of a Yogi wrote about meeting his guru's guru's guru, Mahavatar Babaji, an immortal of great age who looks forever young and continues to live in the Badrinath section of the Himalayas.

Babaji has also appeared to some other advanced seekers and is believed to be connected with Gyanganj. For a comprehensive account of Gyanganj, Sai Kaka directs you to the writings of Gopinath Kaviraj who died in 1976. A former principal of the Government College of Sanskrit in Benaras, Kaviraj wrote a book titled Siddhabhoomi Gyanganj, which has been translated from Bengali into Hindi and published recently by Bharatiya Vidya Prakashan.

Kaviraj's main source of information was his own guru, Swami Vishudhananda, a Bengali who settled down in Benaras, a holy city in India. Vishudhananda is believed to have sojourned many times in Gyanganj where he mastered Surya Vigyan or solar science. Surya Vigyan gave him powers to manifest objects or transform one object into another by manipulating the sun's rays. In his autobiography, Yogananda describes his meeting with Vishudhananda in Calcutta and witnessing his feat of creating any perfume on demand out of thin air. Paul Brunton in his book A Search in Secret India wrote that he not only witnessed Vishudhananda create perfumes, but also bring a dead bird back to life.

Dr Narayan Dutt Shrimali, a Jodhpur-based astrologer-tantrik-guru who publishes Mantra-Tantra-Yantra Vigyan, a Hindi monthly, says he did his sadhana in Siddhashrarn, where his name was Nikhileshwarananda. It is there that he acquired occult powers. Later, his guru told him that they wanted him to return to his householder's life and spread the wisdom of Siddhashram. Literature published by him promises that initiation by him is a passport to Siddhashram. But he refuses to reveal more details of his Gyanganj connection.

Shrimali's and Kaviraj's accounts of Gyanganj are similar. They place it mainly on a flatland to the north of Kailash-Mansarovar in Tibet. It covers an area of many square miles and is surrounded by a lake (or moat) with crystal clear water. There is a bow-shaped drawbridge, which links Gyanganj to our world.

The Gyanganj end of this bridge has a gadget to lift the bridge when desired. This gadget is operated by Surya Vigyan. Kaviraj names many other places, scattered in India, as Gyanganj territory. The area on the banks of Alaknanda river is where the siddhas roam. Mandakini's riverbed is also very mysterious: spiritual giants down the centuries have beheld celestial sights there. Thus, the entire region from Rishikesh to Kailash and Yamunotri to Nandadevi is siddhaland. In Bihar, many Buddhist siddhas frequent the Giridhkoot mountain. The Nilgiris and Srisailam in south India, too, are known to harbor secret ashrams. Arunachala hill in Tamil Nadu, where Ramana Maharshi set up his ashram, is another siddhaland. In the west, Girnaur mountain has seen siddha activity.

Teaching in arts and sciences including medicine, rasayan shastra, music and astrology also goes on here. Indians, of course, do not have a monopoly over Gyanganj. People from other parts of the world, including many Tibetan lamas, live there too.

Sai Kaka adds that Gyanganj functions on all three levels: "On the adhyatmic or spiritual level, it runs the universe. On the adhidevik or celestial level, the earth and water elements are absent, enabling very powerful activity. At this level, Gyanganj impacts on many planes and the beings there.

Suppose a seeker is stuck somewhere in his path, he could be guided in the form of an intuition, or some kriya triggered in his subtle body or his guru is inspired to do the needful."

Sai Kaka argues from his experience with, and knowledge of, Gyanganj, that all's well with whatever is going on in human affairs. "Earlier the suffering in the world would make me emotional, would pain me and fill me with compassion. Now I realize that right and wrong, good and bad exist on the relative plane—of mind, intellect and ego—and are an interplay of the three gunas.

From God's viewpoint, there is nonduality. Creation and dissolution are part of the continual flow." Though there can be no evolution in a flow, Sai Kaka concedes that Gyanganj is engaged in transforming world consciousness. Maybe with the collective consciousness rising, Gyanganj will become more manifest and easily accessible to human beings.

GURU VACHAN

Guru vachan
Tumhe apane jivan me rukana nahi hai, tumhe apane jivan me ek kshan bhi vichar nahi karana hai, ki tumhara jivan bahut thoda sa bach gaya hai aur pagadandi bahut lanbi hai. himalay se puri samudr tak kee yatra, jivan me dhire-dhire chalane se samudr nahi mil sakega kyonki nadi dhire dhire chalegi to bich me sukh jayegi. tumhare mere bich men bahut kam fasala rah gaya hai aur mere pas bahut kam samay rah gaya hai isalie ham us fasale ko kitana jaldi par kar len, yah tum par nirbhar hai.

Prabhu! mera anhakar tum le lo,
He shraddhey, dayamay guruvar!
Mujhe Namrata, Saumyata Pradan karon.
Tumhari ichchha mere jivan men poorn ho,
Tumhari jo ichchha ho, vahi mere bhitar-bahar ho. Tumhi meri sadhana ho,
Tumhin mere bhitar siddh hokar apani ichchha poorn karo.
He nath! is tritap-sanntapt sansar men mujhe rakha hi hai to mujhe mera manovanchhit jivan pradan karo. aisa ho mera jivan –

Mainne aakar sansar men dharm apana nibhaya hai,
isi dagar pe chalakar ab manjil pana hai tumhe.
mainne jala di gyan ki chingari ab tere andar
is chingari ko shola banana hai tumhe.
guru vachan

Mainne de diya tujhako vah dip jo mere pas tha,
is dip ko har dil men jalana hai tumhe.
mere pas jo bhi hai us par hak hai tumhara,
main bahen failaye khada hoon, aavaj de raha hoon tumhen.
hamesha nahin kah paunga ye bate jo kahani thi tumhe.
