Mind of a Brahmana 7

I often invite awakened souls, Pragya-Putras, to Shantikunh to undergo training or perform Sadhana to acquire competence to play the role akin to the bears and monkeys of Treta Yug, of Gvalbals of Dvapar Yug in te tasks of ushering in the new golden era. This place has its own significance on account of divine patronage. Persons residing here even for a short time feel that they are being rejuvenated. In fact it is a spiritual sanatorium.

The Ghrit lamp which has been alight for the last sixty years, performance of Yagya for two hours daily in the morning and Gayatri Mahapurascaranas in both the Navratris, daily Jap by Sadhaks in this Sadhana Aranyak, all combined to create a sanctified divine environment here, as one finds in Malayagiri by the sweet smell of sandal wood. Even without doing Sadhana a person feels unalloyed joy as if his entire time her has been spent in Tapascarya and Sadhana. Shantikunj Gayatri Tirtha is a sacred Siddhapitha because the Risis in their astral bodies are present here, overseeing the various kinds of activities being carried on here pertaining to their particular traditions.

The most important work of my life has been to make direct and indirect, visible and invisible efforts to change the present milieu. These days there is intense crisis of faith. People are bent upon breaking all principles of propriety, morality and conduct. This has resulted in the growth of evil conducts and licentiousness. Today, neither and individual is happy nor is there any stability in the society. Problems, calamities, horrors are increasing day by day. The efforts to stem this overwhelming tide of unrighteousness are not succeeding anywhere. The remedy lies only in the refinement of the minds and emotions of the masses and inspiring growth of righteous tendencies. This has to be done directly by constructive, reformative work and indirectly by invisible spiritual influence. This is being done and t entire energy is being mobilized to attain this objective. The results attained so far are encouraging and the results visualized in future will be unprecedented.

In short, Risi traditions have been adopted and revived by a Brahmana mind in all earnestness. Persons who are engaged in such a work not only do good to themselves but also promote the welfare of others.
