Third Pilgrimage to the Himalayas: Sowing the seeds of Risi Tradition 1


Briefly describing the still incomplete work of the Risis, I was asked to acquaint people with the power of Gayatri Mahamantra according to the tradition of Vishvamitra Risi and to establish a Siddhapitha Gayatri Tirtha; to write books and eighteen volumes of Pragya Puran in Vyas tradition; to extend the science and philosophy of Yog-Sadhana in Patanjali tradition; to build up an atmosphere of refined and ennobling vibrations by eradicating evil tendencies from the minds of the people according to Parashuram tradition; to conduct scientific research and popularize use of medicinal herbs according to Charak tradition; to heal and set right mental disorders by holistic treatments of Yagyopathy in Yagyavalkya tradition; to establish Sadhana-Aranyaks for promoting the growth of goodness and character building in Jamadagni tradition; to lead wandering life of a religious mendicant (parivrajak) with the aim of imparting true knowledge and guidance for the spread of religious and spiritual consciousness in Narada tradition; to provide guidance through the medium of ethics to teh administrative set-up in the tradition of Aryabhatta; to build up Pragya Sansthans at different places in Shankaracharya tradition; to promote all-round health with th help of proper dieting (ahar-kalpa) according to Pippalada tradition and to convince Pragya sammelans from place to place for educating the masses according to Soot-Shounik tradition. Gurudev also indicated the outline of establishing Brahmavarchas Research INstitute for conducting research on scientific lines according to the scientific traditions of Atharv Veda, as was done by Kanada Risi.
I was explained, in detail what I had to do at Hardwar and how difficulties coming in my way were to be resolved. I assimilated each and every word uttered by Gurudev. Last time when I had visited the Himalayas, I was to act according to the directions given by Gurudev alone. This time I was assigned the onerous responsibilities of undertaking additional momentous tasks. This poor donkey was to be more alert and more diligent. Without elaborating, Gurudev simply gave a hint that after doing all this, I will have to pay a fourth visit to the Himalayas and shoulder still greater responsibilities and take steps to withdraw into the astral body.
I was informed that the work at Hardwar would be more difficult than that at Mathura. The onslaughts of devilish elements would have to be faced more resolutely and there would be several ups and downs. After explaining where and how I had to live and perform my daily routine, I was told that I should regard it as a joint program of Gurudev and all the other Risis. I assured Gurudev that for me he was the representative of the Supreme Lord and all the Risis and Devtas; and all his instructions would be complied with till my last breath.
Our talks ended. After bidding farewell, Gurudev disappeared. I was escorted up to Gomukh by his Virbhadra. It is not necessary to mention the place where I was required to stay for about a year as they are inaccessible places in the Himalayas.

While returning, I stayed at the place indicated by Gurudev in Hardwar. It was the tapobhumi of Sapta-Risis, which was lying deserted and was for sale. It was marshy. Ganga used to flow through this land in the past. I liked it. The owner of the land was contacted; the deal was struck and reduced into writing. I had to take decision all by myself. The counsel of the advisors was of no avail, as I failed to make them understand the mystical significance of the place, the purpose for which it was being acquired and the blue-print of the proposed construction. Even the supervisory work of construction had to be done by me. Thus came into being the Shantikunj Saktipitha at Hardwar.
