Yuga Sadhana Lecture on - 06 -09-07

Till few minutes before dawn, we see the world enveloped in pitch darkness. It is not easy to envisage a bright dawn that will dispel the existing darkness. But we see this magical transformation at the dawn of each but miss the message that it delivers. However dark may be the night, dawn is waiting at the bend of the horizon. No one can stop this golden dawn.

This is the time of Yugasandhi. We have to adapt to the work that is the dharma of this Yuga. Pujya Gurudev Pandit Sriram Sharma Acharya has given in great detail about this. There are five gradations in the work that can be done.

• Gayatri Devalaya
• Gurukul
• Ashram
• Aranyaka
• Theertha

Gayatri temple:

Japa of Gayatri Mantra is prime factor the basis of establishing Gayatri temple in your house. Changes needed for Yuga Sandhi can be brought with Gayatri. This is the clarion call for everyone to become a Gayatri Sadhaka and each home to be transformed into Gayatri Devalaya. All those who want to transform their house into abode of Mother Gayatri should follow the schedule of japa, pooja and arati during sunrise and sunset as is conducted at Shantikunj, Haridwar. By doing this, you become a participant in Gurudev’s programs. Such group is called Devalay Group. Such people become members of All World Gayatri Parivar.

You can download the audio of Arati from Morning and evening aaratis. or go to awgp audio downloads and you can find Aarati Audio.

Gurukul:

The Gurukul is a little more serious group than devalaya. They should do parayana of Gayatri Chalisa (after completing aarati ) during sunrise and sunset. They shall also do the “teen shareeron ka dhyan” at 4.30 AM for awakening the physical, astral and causal bodies. Jyothi Avadharana sadhana should be practised in Mataji’s voice at 1.30 PM. Nada Sadhana needs to be practiced at 6.00 PM. Through this sadhana, the sounds appropriate for this Yuga dharma get into your brain daily (evening dhyana). Your thoughts and visualisation get transformed with Nada Sadhana. It is definitely better to establishing Gurukul where Gayatri Devalay is already present. These centers should take on the role of teaching others about the significance of these rituals, dhyana etc. That is why they have been named as the Gurukul group.

"Guru" is the one who destroys darkness generated from ignorance. If you want to become one in the same “kul” as the Guru, you should join Gurukul. The Gurukul for all of us is "Gayatri Pariwar". Temples are for desire-fulfillment. Wherever regular aarati is performed, those temples gain the capacity to fulfill desires. Examples are Shirdi Sai temples. Aarati is the main program there. We should ensure that our Gayatri temples evolve as centers for desire-fulfillment. One who does japa in Gurukul should start japa after giving aarati in the morning and finish before aarati in the evening. 1000 of such people are needed now. In this way, 24 crores of Gayatri japa is completed in a month. The peace that one can find in a place where 24 crores of Gayatri is performed is beyond your imagination. That’s why Gurudev stressed on Gayatri japa so much. He completed the stipulated japa even on the day he left his physical body.

Ashram:

Next come Ashrams. The consciousness that can teach spiritual education can be found there. They are universities. One who is from Rishi Parampara stays there.

Aranyaka:

Aranyakas come after ashram stage in spiritual world. They stay in pilgrimages only. Spiritual advice can be given to the problems of a householder in Aaranyakas. Solutions for physical, mental, spiritual problems can be given there. One who possesses abundant power of Tapas only will have prime role in Aranyakas. Those of the level of a Rishi should stay in Aaranyakas. Very few such people are there now. To obtain guidance of Rishis in Aaranyakas, Sadhaka should have develop the eligibility by intense tapas in his life. When such people approach Rishis, they transfer their Tapas shakti.

Gurudev has given ‘Every Day New Birth, Every Night New Death’ Sadhana for obtaining eligibility (yoga) and Tapas. Thinking process should change in Tapas. Impurities in human should be cleansed. No one in this world can help if thought process is not changed. Ravana was a great tapasvi but he did not have the right yoga. That’s why Rishis could not help him. Both Tapas Shakti and Yoga are there in Shantikunj Ashram. So every Sadhaka should go to Shantikunj Aranyaka.

Theertha:

The place where people with distinct thoughts live is called Theerth. Their thoughts are crystallized in that place. So wishes of those who go there will be fulfilled.

Shantikunj has all of the above five characteristics. So every Sadhaka should go to Shantikunj regarding Sadhana. 24 crores of Gayatri japa should be performed per month. That will result in “Heaven on Earth” because of descent of Jnana Ganga.

Doing all these is yuga dharma. All those who do these should perform poornahuti once in a week or on every full moon day. “Deva Stapana” photos will be sent to the houses of those who perform these through local karyakartas. Please contact your local Gayatri pariwar center for this. All these Gayatri Sadhakas should transform into “All World Gayatri Pariwar” members. Then only can they establish connection with Param Poojya Gurudev Pt.Sriram sharma acharya.
