Mind of a Brahmana 6

The Parivrajaks of Buddha had undertaken extensive tours to spread the message of dharma (religion) throughout the world. In Shantikunj, Parivrajaks are being trained for spreading the message of divine culture throughout the world. In Nepal itself about a lakh Pragya Putras are engaged in this worked of spreading Yug-cetna from house to house.

Aryabhatta was a great scientist who conducted astronomical researches to examine the influence of other planets of the solar system on the earth, its atmosphere and living beings. An observatory has been set up in Gayatri Nagar, astronomical researches are being conducted and an almanac based on drisya Arithmetic is being published from here. The spiritual teachings of the saints of th middle ages, viz, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Sant Gyaneshwar, Samarth Guru Ramdas, Prannath Mahaprabhu, Ramkrishna Paramhansa in regard to the spread of righteousness are being followed in Shantikunj.

It is most important to stress that the atmosphere of this Ashram is so surcharged with piety and righteousness that it automatically attracts people towards spirituality. This is due to the presence here of Risis in their astral forms. They must definitely be quite happy to see revival of their ancient traditions here. This earth has been blessed by teh Tapascarya performed here by the Risis. Loa-Kush were brought up and trained in Valmiki Ashram, Bharat in Kandva Ashram, Rukmini performed tapascarya in Badrinarayan and gave birth to Pradyumna who, in valor and wisdom, was equal to his father, Shri Krishna. Pavan and Anjani gave birth to Bajarangabali in te Ashram of Poosha. These are miraculous boons of Tapascarya, Sadhana performed in this holy region of the Himalayas.

There are several instances of advantages accruing to faithfilled persons from contacts with saints and by visiting holy places. A drop of water of Svati Naksattra falling in on oyster-shell becomes a pearl. It becomes vansalocan when it falls on a bamboo tree and camphor when it meets a plantain tress. A piece of iron when it touches Paras becomes gold. My guide, Gurudev, has been living since several centuries in his astral body at Nandanvan in the Himalayas, which is known as heaven of the earth, the gateway of which is Hardwar, wherein Shantikunj is situated. He summoned me to the Himalayas from time to time to recharge my spiritual battery, whenever I was to be entrusted with new responsibility. I always experienced having returned from the Himalayas with an immensely augmented store of energy.
