Sourmandal adhipati: Dr.R.K the manasaputra (spiritual
son) of Shriram Sharma Acharya describes his Gurudev in following
terms “My Gurudev is the one who dictates the functioning
of planets and stars”. He quotes the example of Pavhari
baba, a sadhu of a very high position, who used to reside in Varanasi. He was a great
Suryopasak. As long as Gurudev was alive in his physical
body on Earth Pavhari baba use to offer Surya Argh facing
north, till the mahaprayana of Gurudev, Sarveshvaranand ji
described Shriram thus “He is a monkey but hanuman, he
is a bear but Jambavanta, he is a bird but Jatayu”.
But in Gurudev’s own words: I am a cock who has come
to declare the Dawn of New Era. I am a puppet in the hands
of my guiding Gurusatta. A few parijans call him Avatar of
Brahma, where as others describe him as shiva avatar.
But isn’t he one in all? Brahma, who is creating a Nava
Yug. Vishnu, who has the capacity to sustain the new Era, Shiva
destroying (Laya) all the evils of society. Let us remember
Acharyashri’s own verses Introducing His Sankalpa “ Sudha beej bone se pahale, kal kut vish peena hoga Pahin mout
ka mukut, vishwhit manav ko jeena hoga.” [Before sowing
the seeds of nectar, one has to gulp down the Kalakoot poison.
The universal man should live his life wearing the crown of
death]
Introducing Gayatri
“Sandesh nahi mein swarg lok ko layee Is bhutal ko hi
swarg banane ayee.”
[I have not brought a message
from heaven. I have come here to make this Earth a heaven]
The three weapons of Gurudev to accomplish the mammoth task
are:
Gayatri Mantra, Gayatri Yagna and His Lekhani (pen).
The essence of sadhana-tapascharya of Gurudev can be explained
in two phrases:
- Atma parishkar (Self purification).
- Lokmangal ka nirantar prayas (A constant
and consistent effort for world welfare).
Gurudev’s heart-felt desire is that his children follow
his foot-steps. The assurance he gives to us is: “kanhi bhi tum raho vamshaj mere,
santan meri Meri aavaaj, mera swar sada anubhav karoge.” [Wherever you may be, my children,
my successors! you will always experience my tone and my voice.
