Mind of a Brahmana 4


Yagyavalkya had undertaken research on Yagya at Triyugi Narayan, had verified its efficacy in promoting the health of living beings and vegetation in purification of the environment, inducing rainfall etc. There is a yagya kund (hearth) in an inaccessible place in the Himalayas in which fire has been burning uninterruptedly since times immemorial. It is said that it is aglow since the marriage of Shiva-Parvati and is a symbol of the ancient tradition of fire. The Brahmavarchas Research Institute has undertaken the responsibility of conducting research on the ancient science of yagya which has become almost extinct these days. A full-fledged laboratory, duly equipped with modern scientific equipments, is functioning in the campus of this Institute for conducting researches on Yagyopathy and people are wonder-struck to see its amazing positive impact on environment, pollution and treatment of physical and mental ailments, growth of vitality, and rainfall of vital Parjanya etc.
Vishvamitra is regarded as the Seer of Gayatri Mantra, a creator of a new world. Sapta-Risi including Vishvamitra had in the ancient times performed Tapascarya on the sanctified land on which at present Shantikunj campus stands and had attained the grace of Adya-Sakti Gayatri. I was inspired by Gurudev to build an Ashram at this very land. The subtle vibrations of creative Sadhana of Vishvamitra are still intensely active her. Mahapragya has been given the status of Yug-Sakti here and by installing idols of its 24 primary emanations, t message of Adya-Sakti (Primordial Creative Power) of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam and of steadfast and pure wisdom and righteousness was proclaimed from here. Several Sadhaks have performed Gayatri Anusthans and have grown spiritually. The Vishvamitra tradition is being revived here by conducting research about the power of sound and the technique of Savitri.
All-round training to Vanprasthis was given in the ancient times in Gurukul Aranyak of Jamadagni which was located at Uttarkashi. Facilities were provided for training of wise, mature and aspiring persons in the performance of Sadhana and penance. In Shantikunj arrangements have been made to impart training to parivrajak vanaprasthis and public service workers. Children are imparted training in moral education in this Ashram's Gurukul Vidyalaya and all-round training is being given to Sadhaks in You-Shilpi Vidyalaya.

Devarsi Narada had performed tapascarya in Guptkashi. He used to play Veena and was constantly engaged in the work of public awakening. He used to give righteous guidance to the people by arousing their positive emotions and tendencies. Yug-Nirman music training school of Shantikunj has trained thousands of Privrajaks, who undertake tours in their regions and move in a group in jeeps in furtherance of Narad tradition.
