We want Sadhanas

Dear friends, it has been a great pleasure to bring
forward the divine words of my pujyapad sadhgurudev
bhagwan shri Param Hansa Swami Nikhileshworananda
Maharaj. Gurudev had given Pravachan to his disciples
in september 1990 and I have translated it to english.
I have not given emphasis on grammar coz I translated
it english as it was and in simple manner and also my
exams are approaching and I hurriedly did.. In my
translation there may be many mistakes, sense may have
turned into nonsense but I hope that you all will read
it and I will feel my hardwork has come to good use
even if a single person reads it and gain valuable
knowledge.
"shri guru charanakamalebyo mama prayasam
samarpayami namah"
gurudev:-
" Tell the whole universe that we want
sadhna not bhakti"

Dear sons of earth,
You are not born normally, god
has created you for a special purpose, not to live
like birds and animals . I know your life's true goal
and rightly speaking you don't belong to a specific
area or place but in reality you are the sons of the
whole world and you have to excel on this and you have
to prepare yourselves to be the sons of universe. Just
by being an ordinary man or normal earth dweller you
cannot get all the things that you want, your goal,
your thoughts and other things. Your actual goal is
that you have to explore the whole universe, you have
to measure the universe with your own legs and you
have to explore the universe in calm, unstoppable
speed.(amit:-exploring the universe means that u
yourself become a part of universe/aham brahmasmi)
But this is not possible through bhakti marga(path).
Just by chanting Ram Ram, Hare Krishna, you cannot
attain heights. Just by doing Bhajan-kirtan(religious
songs) you cannot be the true sons of the world. Just
by playing khar-tal and janghar(instruments usually
played in bhajans) you cannot explore thewhole
universe because this is pure form of a religious way.
Dharma and sadhna are two different roads, only one of
it can give you totality in life and where the word
Sampoornata (total) appears, where is the Bhavana
(feeling) of life's Sampoornata (totality) that is
possible only by the path of Sadhna to achieve your
goal, that is your life's thinking, lakshay (goal) and
for this reason you are born historically in this
earth because this is life's mool swaroop (main
figure).
For sometime Dharma can make a person's
direction zero, for sometime it makes you taste sweets
and listen stories, it can talk about Swarga and Narka
(heaven and hell) but this is aftermath of death.
while we are living in present and in each step we
take there are obstacles, we have to kick these
obstacles and move further and this is not possible
through Dharma because Dharma is after death case,
when you are living dharma is to live in calm, cool,
peaceful manner. That's why in living conditions it
cannot solve our life's troubles.
We are facing family problems, daughter is well
grown up and fit for marriage, you cannot sleep,
daridrata(state of being poor) is making faces at you,
there are thousands of problems in our lives. Can
dharma exterminate these obstacles? Can it face life's
risks? Can it show its chest like a bir(brave person)
in front of these obstacles? Certainly not. Because
dharma has only two 3rd class weapons of
daya(kindness) and maya(peace,love) due to which it is
moving forwards. But his present world can not go
further with the pillar of daya, by forgiving someone
life's troubles cannot be solved. Joining your hands
in front of evil people cannot turn their minds. Just
by pleading and joining hands you cannot defend your
enemies. These are only written in coward's
dictionary. One who cannot do anything tries to live
with support of dharma. I am not saying that dharma
isn't necessary in life. Dharma has its own place in
life, only when the obstacles are solved. Importance
of dharma can be highlighted in life only when family
obstacles are solved. When there is state of flux in
the house, then just by visiting some temples and
pleading, the fire cannot be blown off. For this you
have to show your chest( I am referring showing chest
because generally over here it is supposed that brave
persons maybe muscular and show their chest while
challenging opponents) like a brave person in front of
it.
In your present lives, in every 4 direction fire is
burning, hundreds of obstacles are challenging you. If
you solve one then other hundreds will stop your way.
That's why your mind is Ashant(not free), your heart
has no prasannata(joy). That's why, in life the kind
of happiness, craze must exist, it isn't in your life.
Looking in a specific way I find that these obstacles
have made you coward and useless in life. Even a
smallest of smallest persons is attacking you, and
there are no other ways to do this too. For this you
have to take a challenging step and show your chest
and stand. You must have brightness and determination
in your eyes and will power must be seen in your face
and this is only possible if you have sadhna rupi
khadga (sword in form of sadhna) then only you will
have will, determination, craze and bravery. From this
sword you can exterminate the obstacles. From this you
can defeat your enemies, impoverishes can be thrown
out from the roots and you can remove life's trouble
and obstacles.
When life is going up and down becoming haywire, in
that time closing your eyes won't work. Meditation
lies very forward then this. By meditating you cannot
solve life's true obstacles. When you have no rice to
cook at home then by closing your eyes rice wont cook;
when its time to pay fees for your school kids then
you won't get happiness by closing your eyes. When the
houseowner comes to ask for rent at the door than by
meditating you cannot pay him. For these all there is
a different technique and that technique is called
Sadhna.
I agree that meditating is a easy to acquire and
simple process. Exploring yourself and going within
your mind but when there is a fire burning in your
heart, `when your inner mind is not shant (quiet,
free) then by closing your eyes you cannot enter the
depths of your minds. This becomes like an example of
an ostrich. When an ostrich sees a hunter, it hides
its head under sand and thinks that all his obstacles
have finished. He things "what can a hunter do to me
now?" but within a few seconds he falls prey to the
hunter and everything is finished.
Meditation is also likewise. When there are hundreds
of enemies challenging you then you may find peace
while hiding your heads in sand but when poverty is
going to take your health, happiness, respect then
what do u get by closing your eyes? This is a cowardly
act and coward people cannot be sons of mother earth,
lets not talk about them being sons of the universe.
When we are in equilibrium balanced state, when we can
attack our foes with full power when we carefully
determine in everyway, when we have no other works
that meditation may be a very important procedure and
may play important role. That we enter our mind and
heart with 100% accuracy. But this is only possible if
we have exterminated all our life's obstacles. And we
can get procedure only by means of Sadhna.
Just by going to a temple and striking the Ghanta
(dong) and playing Shankha (shell which can be blown
to produce sound) you cannot please god. Just by
dancing in the tune of Bhajan you may forget yourself
for a second but again u are failing to eradicate your
miseries, pay proper attack to your enemies, cure your
disease trouble/illness nor you can face death eye to
eye.
If you cannot do these things than your life has
become a load for you. There is no sweetness; there is
no utsah and masti (craze, happiness in flow. Just by
sitting in some temples, singing some bhajans, playing
ghanta and shankha you are doing a procedure of
fooling yourself. For sometime you are trying to
forget yourself but when you come out of the temple
and you see your wife's sad face, when you find out
your son is into drugs, when you think about your
daughters marriage than you again stand in the life's
coarse ground covered with stones….and at that time
you feel that you fooled yourself by going to temples
, you tried to forget yourself for sometime and you
think there is no god etc. it becomes like an example
that curing a man suffering from headache by giving
him an injection of sleep. For sometime the pain goes
away but when its effect slows down than again the
same pain starts to eat up your life.
I am not saying you not to go to the temples and sing
bhajans. This may be important in life but to make
your life happy this is not sufficient. To give
totality and completeness in life, it won't help you.
Attaining totality in life is possible only by sadhna.
Because sadhna is not a procedure of forgetting
oneself its not a technique to play with your life and
betray it but by mantra, feeling and seeing the
spiritual power of the specific god and goddess in
real life in conscious state.and gaining control over
their powers, and by mantra and will power forcing
them to appear in front of you and forcing them to
eradicate your life's problems, not by pleading.
Bagalamuki sadhna, which is fully able to strike
enemies, while Dhumawati sadhna can kill your enemies.
Astalakshmi prayog(technique) can throw poverty from
the roots while Kuber sadhna will give you total
materialism, acceleration in business etc.
Shastra's have accepted in one voice
saying:"mantradinashya devta" meaning all gods are
under mantra and by mantra only you can make them
appear in front of you or ask them to complete
specific tasks. And also with the help of specific
spiritual godly powers you can solve all your
troubles.
This happens, surely happens(amit: I have tried it
too and I also agree that it happens). If we look at
the baidic and puranic periods if we study nicely the
lives of your Rishimunis( sages and saints) then we
find that they have not given emphasis on bhakti nor
pleading. The only thing they did was to make god's
appear, force them to appear with the help of specific
mantras. That's why to solve life's troubles , to
remove obstacles and to make live peaceful and happy
they were successful.
The sadhnas exist even today. Fully functional till
today, the only thing you need is a sadhguru who is an
expert in this field and who has the knowledge of
sadhnas through self practice and who has achieve
totality in life. Only the sadhguru can show you the
correct path of your life, fill you with power and
determination, give brightness and totality to your
dead body, who can give you the sword of sadhna with
which you can strike poverty, know the upcoming
troubles and remove the negative aspects of life.
Until and unless you don't have this power, this
ability to do something the will power you are a
normal and dependable living creatures who will get
trapped in death's rope and move to death. If you
think of this that it is also an cowardly act. The
true meaning of life is to struggle. To achieve
totality(poornata) by exterminating troubles and
obstacles from the roots, to strike your enemies….and
this is not possible through the path of bhakti,
closing your eyes wont help and also taking the
support of cowardly words of forgiveness and kindness
won't do you any good. It is not possible to solve
life's difficulties. For this you must have
tez(brightness) in youreyes, your face must show
underlying will power and the sword of sadhna must be
present in your hands that can attack all obstacles
and make our lives happy.
You can do all these because you have got an
experienced guru, who has got totality and experience
in sadhna. He is easily available. Who is not so far
as to search him you have to wander through mountains
and jungles, not even the highest peaks where you
cannot step. This is your luck that in your life
sadhguru is easily available.
But for this you must have will power, must have
faith in your guru, must have the techniques to reach
upto him and you must spare your time to do sadhna.
It is not necessary to do sadhnas for months and
years. These sadhnas are also not very hard and
difficult to complete. This is very simple and you can
easily accept and practice and I say that you must
practice. If not today than tomorrow you will realize
that in life, totality cannot be achieved with bhakti
nor wandering in jungles. Diving in Ganges(Hindu holy
river) and doing thirthayatra( religious pilgrimage
journey) you wont achieve anything. By placing your
head in false saints and gurus, your lives trouble
wont go away and by closing your eyes, you cannot run
away from harsh realities of life.
It is true that in your life there are thousands of
troubles in each step you take troubles and hardships
start pouncing on you. Every second you are weary of
your enemies attack and while living you live in those
trouble, suspicion, fear and this is nothing but
cowardly act.
You must stand up with determination. You must come
to me with your guts. You must live bravely in society
and using your sword of sadhna you must attack the
obstacles with full might showing no mercy and then in
right words you will be a human being. Then the Ganges
of happiness will flow through your lives and this is
possible only by sadhna.

Amit:-I hope you liked my pujyapad sadhgurudev's words
and translation. I will be happy to do more if I get a
good response . I hope all of you got some true
knowledge from this.
//aum pram tatvaaya narayanaaya gurubyo namah//
may gurudev bless you all and show you the correct
path of life.

P.S-i have no words to describe guru gorakshanath and
his divine tasks that he wanted every person of the
world to do sadhna. Most of the hindu(Sanskrit)
mantras are complex. But gurudev invented a new
technique of mantra and sadhna(very easy to grasp) in
which words are very simple and easy for right
pronunciation i.e. sabar sadhna. Again he has created
formed mantras for various people. E.g. he created
mantras in different local native languages of india
and nepal and also for different communities of the
world. Like gurudev has created english mantras,
urdu(muslim) mantras etc so that every person an
benefit from the divine powers of mantra. Surely I
have no words to tell …………….
