Guest guest Report post Posted July 14, 2005 Om Nikhileshwaraye Namah Om Gam Ganpatye Namah Om Nikhileshwaraye Namah There is one thing very peculiar which we witness nowadays. We saw it yesterday also on the occasion of Bhoomi Poojan at Arogya Dham Delhi. Sadhaks just approach to Gurudev anywhere with their personal problems. The occasion was an important event and we saw people just conveying their personal problems to Gurudev at every available opportunity. What is the need of such dangerous level of selfishness? It is true that everybody is a seeker before Guru. This is a plain fact that we respect them due to their knowledge. That does not mean that you just do not leave even the personal breathing space for Gurudev. People should keep in mind that Guru in physical from may not be like they visualise in their dreams and imagination. Sadhaks should learn to flow with the natural flow of time with their Gurudev and helping them in their activities. So many shivirs are organised and what are they for? They are for solving the problems of sadhaks only. The deekshas and sadhnas which are given there are for the sadhaks' benefit only. Do Gurudev need to tell everybody personally that they should perform Mahalaxmi sadhna for their financial well being? When such prayogs and deekshas are organised then where do these people go? These sadhaks consider their inablity to do these sadhnas as "genuine reasons". They just cover up their miresly nature as the "will of God". They treat the all obstacles as "Guru Pariksha". Just a little deeper look reveals their dirty underbelly. Since its beginning in 1981, millions and millions copies of this magazine,MTYV, has gone into the hands of millions of sadhaks.All of them list sadhnas exactly as per their problems. They just do not have the capability to pick up one sadhna and do it. They will delibrately keep on crying and telling their personal problems to all and sudry. Whenever they get any opportunity to meet Gurudev they just start with their favourite activity...... complain ,complain and complain. And on the days fixed by Gurudev for meeting sadhaks persoanlly, these people just do not turn up. On those days only thing they need to do is buy six old issues of MTYV magazine for Rs. 100. Now they weigh their options whether to spend those hundred rupees or not. Needless to say that such calculative persons are not made for doing sadhnas. Their money will go only in paying for emergencies like accidents,legal disputes,thefts, injury and death. When it come to seeking personal guidance from Gurudev , then spending 100 Rs. becomes the most difficult task in the world for them. We see this everymonth at Gurudham Delhi. Some people wait till late in the evening when Gurudev allow some people to meet them without paying money. Gurudev only know who is the genuine seeker in real need and who is just a calculative trader. We observe these "late audience seekers " every month. They do not look in anyway which would reflect their inability to spend Rs. 100 for buying old issues of MTYV. Majority of them are just "free loaders". We keep on seeing them for months together. Their is no improvement in their condition. No wonder about that. If they are not ready to change their tricky attitude, they will not make any progress at all. Only thing which is of great concern is that they cause undue stress to Gurudev, who keep on listening problems of people from morning through evening. Every human being on this earth has similar problems. They need money, they need good health, they need peace of mind, they want all round progress in their life, they want all good things for their family. There is no secret about these facts. Gurudev are aware of that and for that reason only they publish sadhnas in magazines. Now if people do not perform these sadhnas then what to do? Every human being who is alive has some physical,mental and financial resources available with him. why can't put some of them into doing sadhnas regularly? All these complaints about "obstacles" in doing sadhnas are plain shotcomings of these sadhaks. The agony which feel on an incomplete sadhna has to do more with the Rs. 350/- which they had spent on procuring sadhna materials rather than their love for the deity or Guru. How many times their prayog will go incomplete? Once, twice, thrice,....ten times? Even if they procure new material for every attempt they will be spending around Rs. 3500/- for ten attempts over a period of many weeks and months. And just consider the benifit which comes after the success. These very people are just busy in self praise for all their achievements. Then they will not reveal that they just stuck to one sadhna and put their all hope in that one sadhna. They had left all hopes from any other quarter. That one sadhna saved them. They just forget about that phase and display a completely different picture before other people. Just keep in mind that a sadhak can not realise how Gurudev test their character. A disciple can only guess that this could be "exam given by Gurudev". Therefore it is better to work on strengthening all traits of character with delibrate efforts with the help of sadhnas. Every moment is test, therefore there is no need of feeling yourself like Jesus Christ on the cross.Things can be taken in much more natural and calm manner if the person himself is willing to do so. Otherwise there is no limit of pain and you can touch the "deepest" point of pain. Just move along with respect for Gurudev in your heart and never quit the basic daily Guru poojan in proper manner.Take the life as natural flow on whcih you are flowing with your beloved Gurudev. Sadhna and Gurudev should be integral part of life so that you do not feel as if you have to just finish off the work quickly and run away towards outside world to show off your achievements. Never put any condition like that ; if that does not happen you will be ruined or you can not live without that thing. Gurudev know what is to be given and when it is to given. Gurudev has left the most powerful controls in our own hands only and they are of sadhnas. Do not hesitate to pick up any sadhna. Just start and stop only at finish. Repeat until it gives results. It is much better way than troubling Gurudev everytime on every available occasion. Opportunity given by Gurudev to meet personally should be used for maximum benefit. We can not define a frame work you to do that, but we are sure that contant list of complaints of personal life is not "the best" way to do that. So many sadhnas require compulsory Shakti paat Deeksha. That could be one very good way of utilising the Golden opportunity of personally meeting Gurudev. Physical distance is just an excuse. If physical distance was the main issue than all those living in Delhi would have become the most accomplished sadhaks. Keep in mind that Deeksha are given through photographs also. We utilise that opportunity in our own way. So you should work out your own way. Desparation causes many damages and it diverts a sadhak from sadhana and make him think only about the problem he is facing. This in turn saps whole energy of sadhak because by then has by then lost the direction and sense of purpose. Attention should be towards knowledge of Gurudev and concentration on sadhnas.

Since at present I am unable to visit gurudham, I would like to take "Guru Diksha" through my photograph. Can you please tell me the procedure for doing so. I understand from siddhashram web site that a small donation is charged for "Guru Diksha". What is this amount in Indian Rupees ? And to whom do I send this amount to ?
