Gift Jeewan Sanchetna to your Family and Friends in India or Abroad
The Upanishadic
prayers " Om asato ma sadgamaya" [Lead me from unreality to Reality], "
Tamso ma jyotirgamaya" [Lead me from darkness to Light], Mrityorma
amritam-gamaya [Lead me from death to Immortality], are in their
quintessence just one and the same. To know the unreal is to find
out the Real - to understand the Real is to see the Light - and to move
in Light is to apprehend the Divine and the Immortal. Once Buddha
attained the light, he could illumine the life of everyone who came into
his contact. In Bhagvad-gita Lord Krishna tells Arjuna '
Yada yada hi dharmasya glanirbhavti Bharata, / Dharma- sthanam abhyutham
tadatmanam srijamyaham' [Whenever and wherever there is decline of
religion and rise of irreligion I come to establish the reign of
religion]. God incarnates Himself into a human form to show human
beings the true path of Right and Righteousness, Peace, Happiness and
Bliss, sometimes as Krishna, sometimes as Rama. The message
of the Bhagvad- gita, the Dhampadda, the Sermon on the Mount, the Cross
and the Quran is essentially the same. Self-realization is
God-realization.
"The Kingdom of
Heaven is within us, not without". It is when we forget this
kingdom within us and fill our inner self with the garbage of greed and
lust that we make our lives miserable. Love and compassion
comprise the best equipment of life. This tradition of love and
light is further preserved and nurtured by sages, saints and prophets
who become the lighthouses and guiding stars of the vast humanity
-Moses, Socrates, Buddha, Mahavira, Zaurashtra, Kabir, Nanak, Rumi,
Khalil, Gibran are among such lights that have ignited the path of true
love and kept it shining forever.
Next in the divine
hierarchy come the great saints and preachers who take it upon
themselves not only to keep the torch alive but also to carry the sacred
flame far and wide with the sole object of scattering the fragrance of
the nectar among the masses and the multitudes. These Rishis and
the blessed messengers - for, no one can become His messenger without
His grace - these men of God as contrasted to the numerous god men, who
fake spirituality to exploit the world -become the true benefactors of
humanity advising man to take his entire life as a pilgrimage enabling
him to walk on the sunlit path of virtue and strength.
Love and Compassion,
Peace and Tranquility, Joy and Serenity -Serenity which is the highest
state of wisdom - wisdom which is perhaps the most precious gift of God.
Goethe, a great German poet and philosopher says, "Nothing in the world
is more precious than a loving heart" but it can still be said that
Wisdom is the most precious gift of God because the supreme wisdom is -
to love - to serve -to be kind and compassionate. Love is 'Prema'
and compassion is' Karuna' and
Karuna is nothing but the highest and the
most universal kind of love.
This
Karuna - is the prime mantra of our Acharya
Shri Sudhanshuji Maharaj who embodies these virtues so graciously and
carries out his sacred mission with a firm resolve and single-minded
devotion that reminds one of Swami Vivekananda's determined voice: "
Mantram va sadhyami, sriram va patyamr [I will either achieve my goal or
dissolve my body]. The main reason of Acharya Shri's unflinching
devotion is his considered belief that if one man attains the highest
kind of love, it will be sufficient to neutralize the hatred of
millions. But, as it is not the good fortune of everyone to attain this
highest kind of love - goodness to any extent - in any measure - is
desirable. All of us can not be suns, but we can all have a
star of our own - and if that is difficult one can always be a lamp - "Soorajna
ban paye to ban ke deepak jalata char [the aim is to be a source
of light and joy to the world]. Though "the size of one's world is
the size of one's heart" and "one is as great as one's desire" - "Ask,
and ye shall find" - says the Bible - it is a pity that some people may
meet Vivekananda, Kabir or Meera and may ask only for bank balance!.
Riches of the world are a trifle before the riches of heart and soul;
"One who is plenteously provided from within needs but little from
without, "says Goethe a great German poet". Again as Bible says,
"What shall it profit a man if he were to gain the kingdom of the World
and lose his own soul?" Goodness is God-ness - and to whatever extent we
indulge in acts of love and kindness we are doing God's work - "Nar seva
- Narayan seva" [Service to Humanity is Service to God] - Once we are
able to imbibe the sparks of divine grace, nobility becomes our nature,
goodness comes out effortlessly in the form of countless touches of
healing and humaneness - one only feels fortunate in bringing out a
cheer to as many weeping hearts -and wiping as many tears of the
suffering humanity as one can. In blessing others we will be blessed.
Let's pour perfume on others, some drops will always automatically fall
on us.
To be loving is the
only way to be lovable - only a tender heart can understand the joy of
giving. There's a world's difference between a demander and
a giver - a selfish man is ever a demander and therefore ever a beggar,
whereas a kind and loving heart alone experiences the blessedness of
giving - for he understands that giving is getting - and that whatever
is not given also becomes unworthy of keeping - by "saving" it, one
loses it - the vital human touch. A no-giver is always a beggar at heart
- the richest man of the world might be a very poor person at heart if
he lacks the inner riches.
An enlightened
person never distinguishes between pain and pleasure. For him,
every phase of life is a part of the Divine Plan. A truly
religious person is a firm believer in God's grace. The Sun is
abroad and everywhere - we cannot create the Sun - we can only enable
someone to open the doors and windows of his room that he may be able to
bask. Similarly, God's grace is flowing and permeating in all
objects, all creatures - we have only to open the doors of our heart and
the windows of our mind and experience the joy and blessedness of God's
grace. Who is the giver and who is the taker? It is His wealth,
His riches that come to us and we can only feel fortunate that we are in
a position to help someone. Without His grace man is graceless -all of
our worthiness flows from His grace - His is the world - His is the
creation - we are only instruments of His will - Ego taints our approach
towards life. Ego is the ugly veil that hides the glory of God from us -
" Ego ful ness" is a reflection of our imperfect knowledge while
egoless-ness is the fruit of our perfect wisdom.
The only way to
overcome our imperfections is by making our will perfect in His will. As
Sri Aurobindo says, "Let thyself drive in the breath of God and be as a
leaf in the tempest." The supreme wisdom lies in the attitude of
"surrender" As Lord Krishna says to Arjuna in Bhavad-gita, "Sarva
Dharmani Prityajaya Mamekam Sharnam Vrajeh" [Leave all pursuits and come
to my care]. But we must distinguish between ' blind surrender1
and ' intelligent surrender1 - one backed by our simple innocent faith
and the other arising out of our full awareness and consciousness. Just
as asceticism is of two kinds - one of a cowardly or ignorant escapism
from the demands and drudgery of life and the other arising out of
enlightened awareness of the relative immateriality of the material
things, the evanescence of the physical - the supreme example of which
are - Buddha and Mahavira. Is not the Bhikshu attitude the only
sane attitude in life? Whatever power or authority we may arrogate
to ourselves, are we not eternal beggars at His door? And, in a more
sublime sense isn't the celebration of this beggary one of the
joyestwaysto live? Can any human being give even one extra breath to
anybody or even to himself? Any moment can signal our exit. But
for an enlightened bhikshu every moment is sacred as it is sanctified by
the touch of His will - A simple man's faith like Dhanna Bhagat's is
total but it is total in its simplicity and 'ignorant-knowledge',
whereas the faith of Janak, Ved Vyasa, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Ramakrishna
Paramhansa, Sarda Devi, Rumi and Khalil Gibran, Swami Vivekananda. Swami
Ram Tirath and Raman Maharshi, is the faith of the fully illumined self.
William Blake, an
English poet with deep mystical urges, talks of ' Innocence' and '
Higher Innocence' -the innocence and piety of a child and the purity and
innocence of a saint - of a Brahmajnani. To be a child of God" is the
summum bonum of all spiritual knowledge - the beginning as well as the
end - the initiation as well as the consummation of all spiritual
knowledge - the ultimate stage of life's pilgrimage. When a child goes
to park with his father he plays in the park with a carefree abandon -
one can play the entire game of life till one's last breath if one
leaves oneself to the care and protection of this 'Grand' Parent.
Ghalib, in his
simple solemnity describes the entire world as a child's play - "
Bazeehae- Itfal hai duniya mere age/Hota hai shab-e-roz tama-sha mere
age." [This world is a child's play for me - the game which I keep
on witnessing day and night]. A sensible child knows the worth and
significance of his parents' scolding as of their love. Similarly,
a true man of faith accepts the "buffets and rewards of life with equal
thanks". As Ramkrishan Paramhansa said- "Razihain hum usi
meinjisme ten raza hai, yahan yun bhi vah vah hai aur woon bhi wah wan
ha?" [I am contended in your will - it is celebration and joy all
the way -this way or that!].
"Celebration" is
the word - not only a simple acceptance but celebration - A Bhakta does
not only accept His will - he celebrates it - because for him God's will
is God's grace. His grace is a presence that permeates everything
- the air, the ocean, the mountains, the fields, the flowers, the
animals and the heart of Man. A spirit that rolls through "all
things, all objects, of all thought". In such a state of
realization one sings out - " Har zarre zarre mein humko maula nazar ata
hai" [see the Divine in every particle of this Creation].
"To see an ocean in a grain of sand , / To hold divinity in the palm is
the pslam of another realized soul. "Siyaram maya sab jal jani,
karoon pranam jori jug pan?" [The entire world is Rama-Sita for
me; I salute and revere all], sings Tulsidas the creator of
Ramacharitmanas. Swami Ram Tirath used to address every being -
from his closest person to a dog even a lion as "Rama".
In Maharshi Raman's
ashram snakes and tigers would walk in and out with the carefreeness of
a children's park. Sri Aurobindo's words crystallize the process of
Realization "When I had the dividing reason, I shrank from many things -
but after I lost it in the sight I hunted for the ugly and the repellent
but I could no longer find them. God had opened my eyes and I could see
the nobility of the vulgar, the attractiveness of the repellent, the
perfection of the maimed and the beauty of the hideous."
After such wisdom
what rewards! Every gain looks trivial and insignificant because such a
state of mind fills every moment of life with a sense of calm elation.
After attaining his 'Light' after 13 years of meditative quest, Buddha,
the "Light of Asia" [in Edwin Arnold's famous expression] never lost his
temper. The benign tranquillity and the solemn serenity that haloes
around Buddha was there for ever till his last breath. "Men must accept
going hence even their coming hither," says Shakespeare. A saint dies
with the same joy with which he lives. When one attains the true inner
happiness nothing in the world has the power to take it away; it stays
forever.
As Saint Kabir
says," Ja marne tejag dare, mere man anand/Marne hi te pa/ye, pooran
parmananda". Death is not to be feared, it is to be welcomed as a
gateway to bliss. The very birth of great souls, prophets, saints and
sages is a blessing to the Earth. That's why the day of Jesus'
crucifixion is described as 'Good Friday'. Crucifixion is a part of the
Resurrection - Good Friday is part of the Easter. As per the legend
Jesus came back physically, but it is not the physical resurrection that
matters -Jesus's message as of all saints and prophets - resurrects
mankind - it rejuvenates their minds and leads them to the sanctuary of
faith and hope.
Thus, a hovel and a
prison [the birth places of Christ and Krishna] become as sacred as any
church or temple. The beauty of this spiritual journey is that anyone
can travel any far - one achieves as much as one desires - the great
Upanishadic mahavakyas" Aham Brahmamsmi [I am Brahma], "Tat Tvam As?"
[That Thou Art] are great eye-openers. Man is a mini universe.
Yat Brahmande soi Pinde - man is the micro form of the macro universe.
The same five elements - Earth, Sky, Fire, Air, Water that form this
Universe constitute the very stuff that man is made of. Physically
challenged people have won Olympics. Any one, perhaps even a handicapped
person, can scale Mt. Everest. What is required is the Will,
Resolve, Determination and Perseverance.
These are a few
glimpses of the great spiritual treasures that reside in the lofty self
of Acharya Shri Sudhanshuji Maharaj. Though every particle of this
universe par- takes of His grace yet India has been more fortunate than
many other countries because of its spiritual heritage of Devotion and
Knowledge which has been constantly nurtured and enriched by Divine
incarnations Rishis, Saints and Sages. This is not being said to devalue
any other country or community with a 'holier than thou' attitude. This
statement about the great tradition of Bhakti and Jnana is being made in
utter humility and thankfulness - even an iota of egoism taints the
nectar of spirituality. Humility - deep humility - is the very essence.
But as no one can deny the special sanctity of Bethlehem or Mecca, any
honest seeker of spiritual truths will spontaneously admire the
bountiful grace of God that has sanctified the soil of India.
When the British,
ruling over a large part of Asia, were arrogating themselves over their
cultural superiority and were considering it is their burden to
"educate" the less-literate Indians and other Asians: "There is more
spiritual wisdom on one shelf of western libraries than in all the
scriptures of India" said Macaulay, the self-righteous advocate of
the British rule. Some honest people like Max Muller, who were
imbued with a genuine spiritual quest acknowledged the profundity of
Indian scriptures. So did Schlegal, Neitzsche, William Jones, Thoreau,
Emerson, Walt Whitman and some others. Schopenhauer said: "The
great Indian Upanishads have been the comfort of my life, they will also
be the comfort of my death." Much of Indian spiritual wisdom is
condensed and crystallised in Bhagvad-gita. Emerson was deeply
struck by its richness and profundity:
I owed a
magnificent day to the Bhagvad-gita. It was the first of books; it was
as if an empire spoke to us, nothing small or unworthy, but large,
serene, consistent, the voice of an old intelligence which in another
age and climate had pondered and thus disposed of the same questions
which exercise us.
In the morning I
bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmological philosophy of
Bhagavadgita, in comparison with which our modern world and its
literature seem purely green. Whitman, who often turned to
Upanishads for all kinds of solace, found the "letters of God" in every
street and the spark of God in every "leaf, felt humbly complimented
when he was praised as a Vedantist'. Millions of others have derived
spiritual succour from Indian spiritual thought.
Though ignorantly,
the world is often described as a "House of Pain", 'a vale of tears', 'a
valley of sorrow', for an illumined mind 'Pain' is another name of
'Ignorance'. Yet, this "knowledge" is not common, the multitudes living
in deep distress have driven enough strength and joy from these
scriptures in the midst of their overwhelming sorrows. We can despair at
the distress or be an Arjuna anytime; -the Nectar is there before us, we
have simply to move forward towards it in order to experience
"immortality" in our so-called "mortal" self- the 'imperishable' in our
perishable self - 'amratva' in our "nashwarta".
Confucius, the
great Chinese philosopher laid great stress on the power of mind. He
hailed mind as "the reconciler between body and the spirit" - the
reconcilement which is necessary for a healthy harmonious life. 'Mind is
its own place, / It can make Hell of Heaven and Heaven of hell, says
Milton. We can make or rnar our own life by our way of thinking. "We are
as we think" says James Alien in his wonderful book As a Man Thinketh.
Alien believes that the aphorism "As a man Thinketh in his heart so is
he" not only embraces the whole of a man's being, but is so
comprehensive as to reach out to every condition or circumstance. For
James "mind is the master-weaver, both of the inner garment of character
and the outer garment of circumstance. "Sri Aurobindo also
presents a beautiful and creative account of whether our soul is a
puppet or a master and suggests the means by which we can convert it
either way. We can always extend ourselves to our limits - and -beyond!
Similarly slavery orfreedom depends on ourattitude.
There were many
"free" men during the British empire and there are many "slaves" even in
independent India. It is all a question of self-esteem and commitment to
the sense of dignity and honour as was sublimely displayed by men like
Bal Gangadhar Tilak "Swarajya hamara janama siddha adhikar ha?' (Freedom
is my birth right, nobody can snatch it). Mahatma Gandhi ["It is a
fight to the finish"], Chandra Shekhar Azad "Azad hijiye hain Azad hi
marenge [We are living free and we will die free], and Subhash Bose who
was ready to paint all roads to British Empire "Red" with every drop of
his blood. His call" Turn mujhe khoon do main tumhe azadi doonga" was as
prophetic as it was emotional. Just as a true prayer is self-answered, a
true heart always knows. That is why in 1937 itself Subhash Bose could
say with supreme confidence: "Today we are saying it, tomorrow you will
see it."
Every seed is a
potential orchard. Swami Vivekananda knew the vast and infinite power of
mind when he was urging the youth: "Make your nerves strong, what we
want is muscles of iron and nerves of steel. We have wept long enough.
No more weeping, but stand on your feet and be men". To him "Power!
Power! Power!" speaks out from every page of the Upanishads. That is why
he urges upon people to fill themselves with a revolutionary spirit.
"Arise! Awake! And stop not till the goal is achieved!"
Science and
Religion are not antithetical but co-travellers. No truth, whether
scientific or spiritual, is a truth which cannot be verified or applied
in daily life. Half educated people talk of Confusion while the wise
talk of Fusion. Of the two, while scientific truths can be verified by
our sensual organs, the spiritual truths can only be seen by our mind's
eye and this difference between the objective and the subjective becomes
crucial. Any one can pour water in an earthen pot, but no onecannot put
even a drop of spiritual water if the pot of the receiver's mind is
turned the other way. The most precious pearl may be thrown away as a
pebble by an ignorant tribe. Similarly, an unwilling mind may not accept
even a grain of wisdom. Perhaps the best example of a mentally blind
person in the world is that of Dhritrashtra in Mahabharata.
Every gesture,
every word every thought - all that transpired between Arjuna and Lord
Krishna -including the Viratswaroop - the million-dimensioned Cosmic
form of Lord Krishna - was related to Dhritrashtra by Sanjay - yet the
blockheaded morally blind [physical blindness was only symbolical] fool
remained stubborn as a stone and as a consequence lost all of his
hundred sons. Hence, the readiness to receive is the first essential -
unless the preacher is a saint of the highest quality like Buddha and
Ramakrishna Paramhansa whose halo may dispel all the darkness within the
sinner - as Buddha did to Aangulimal.
The very aura of
their personality purifies the entire atmosphere. But Buddha, Nanak,
Kabir, Mirabai, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Ramakrishna Paramhansa do not
come everyday. For the general and larger good of humanity God appoints
and endows some special messengers to render the mysteries of life in
simple pleasurable terms - the pro-foundest of truths are rendered in
the simplest and the sweetest language -Jnana does not remain a tedium -
it becomes a joy - spirituality flows like water and the knowledge of
the Divine takes the form of commonplace home truths; Tapasya, Meditation
-becomes a pleasurable exercise and Brahmananda - a common day
experience. God has endowed Acharya Shri Sudhanshuji Maharaj with a rare charm. His gracious personage is an embodiment of the qualities of head and heart, mind and soul. His spiritual understanding has its firm roots in his study of scriptures, not only of scriptures, but also of literature and philosophy, the civilizational and cultural wealth of India and the world. His radiant self reflects several rare elements endowed by Nature. It is a divine fruit of the choicest combinations - having a touch of the intellect of Adi Shankarachara, the devotion of Meera - the simplicity of Guru Nanak - the smile of Ramakrishna, the faith of Swam! Ram Tirath, the yoga of Sri Aurobindo, the humility of Shirdi Sai Baba and the artlessness of Maharshi Raman.
This is not a presumptuous statement arising out of any kind of arrogance. The objective is not to undermine the glory and greatness of any of the celebrated saints and prophets - only a fool can dare even to think in these terms - arrogance itself is an anathema to the very culture of spirituality. While remembering these blessed manifestations of the divine wrth utmost sanctity and bowing before them in deep reverence, the idea here is to stress the multi-facetedness of Sudhanshi Ji Maharaj's personality that endears him to the multitudes. His personality is like a fountain from which water comes out in multiple colors.
Sudhanshuji's
personality is quite akin to that of Rabindra Nath Tagore. Tagore was a
sage - a saint -a philosopher - a writer - a poet - an artist - a singer
- an authority on music [Rabindra Sangeet] - an actor -a playwright - a
patriot - an intellectual giant - who also had the humility of a beggar
and the simplicity of a servant - that gave him the ecstasy of a Baul
-the "mad" singers of devotional hymns in Bengal. Dr. S. Radhakrishnan,
the President of India, himself a richly endowed person, admired the
multiple artistic talents of Rabindranath Tagore and hailed him as "Dear
to all Muses" even as Mahatma Gandhi used to address him as "Gurudev".
But Tagore's possession of these qualities in no way underrates other
poets, artists, philosophers or patriots.
No one can say
Tagore's patriotism was higher than that of Bhagat Singh, Ram Prasad
Bismil, Chandra ShekharAzad or of Subhash Bose, or for that matter
Tagore was a better novelist than Sarat Chandra or Prem Chand. It is
just that Nature creates her own specimen. Some personalities embody a
single virtue and carry it to its sublimes level and become the most
shining example of that particular virtue. To think of Buddha is to
think of Karuna - to think of Jesus is to think of Forgiveness. But
sometimes Nature creates persons of varied hues and myriad capabilities,
each in a measure that Nature deems appropriate. Such persons are gifted
with a rainbow personality - all the seven colors combine to mark God's
special presentation to man - a rainbow like presentation. There are
many mini Tagores who lead a colorful life themselves and add a spark
of joy helping others to make their lives colorful too.
But a saint's life
is slightly different from a rainbow life. It is a step further - their
path of life is more akin to Sunlight because they are themselves like
Sunlight. The vital difference between a rainbow and sunlight is that in
a rainbow all the seven colours combine to make one harmonious whole but
they retain their individuality also.
In sunlight all the
seven colours lose their identity, enjoy the bliss of merger and
amalgamate themselves to produce the White while they remain in a state
of complete egolessness surrendering their self in enhancing the glory
of the White. They are always present [anyone can see them with the help
of a prism], but they also know the art of vanishing -of obliterating
themselves celebrating their humble joy and pride in the splendourof the
White.
Saints like
Sudhanshuji Maharaj are like this SUNLIGHT - all their qualities and
capabilities merge only to further their mission - the mission to spread
God's message in most endearing terms; to render God's word so
melodiously that, it may become an integral part of common man's music
of life.
Some of Maharaj
ji's favourite lines of a song are:-[We should not think of what we are
getting. We should rejoice only in offering the flowers of joy to all so
that each one of us may become madhuban - forest of fragrance -though it
can happen only if He showers His grace - the rain of His mercy alone
can wash every taint from our inner self and purify each particle of our
existence.]
Though Maharajshri
sings these lines in complete solemnity and indeed it is possible for
anyone to become anything - even a forest of fragrance - from whichever
corner of the forest we may pass, we can experience fragrance. Every
act, every gesture of the madhuban person has an edifying effect on
anyone who passes across him. We can only start by being a good
flower-then a rose - then a neem tree [a tree extremely useful] - and
then sandal-wood tree. Since we all cannot be suns, let us be good
lamps. The titles of "sun" and " madhuban" - the inexhaustible source of
light and fragrance - sit appropriately on saints like Sudhanshuji
Maharaj. Whatever they say brings cheer, whatever they do brings joy,
every touch of theirs leaves the world happier and brighter.
ST. Coleridge a
great poet says about Love: "All thoughts, all passions, all delights /
Whatever stirs this mortal frame, / All are but ministers of Love, / And
feed the sacred flame." Similarly, all the qualities that Nature has
endowed him with, only combine to the feed the sacred flame of Love of
Mankind - which, as he maintains - is another name of Devotion to God.
How can an artist be happy if we do not appreciate his paintings or a
poet be happy if the world doesn't enjoy his poems? Similarly, wouldn't
it hurt the Creator if we do not love His creation? The Master Artist,
the Master Sculptor paints this universe with enchanting colours and
designs and sculpts beautiful statues that inhabit His creation.
What a pity it will
be if we only think of the Creator without his creation? -" Nar sewa
Narayan sewa" -service to Man is the service to God and love of Man is
the only way to love God. "He prayeth best who loveth best /All things,
both great and small / For the dear God who loveth us / He made and
loveth all." One of the common statements of Acharyashree is - "It is so
simple to be great, just be simple." Just as a truly great scholar
carries all the load of his learning so lightly, Sudhanshu Ji
Maharaj carries all the riches of the spiritual world with utmost
simplicity. He also often talks of "the wisdom of humility" and this
humility is eternally evident in his words, gestures, acts and
discourses.
- Dr. Vikram Chopra Dr. Vikram Chopra is teaching English Literature in Delhi University. Besides being a devoted and a sincere teacher and a devotee of Maharajshri, he is a human par excellence. His favourite definition of himself is a servant of Humanity - a pilgrim of love.

Maharaj Ji says we
do not have to leave the world but to live in it with enlightened
awareness; we do not have to change our clothes but our minds - not the
lookout but the outlook. Any day can be a paradise if we can learn the
art of living - which only lies in helping each other in making each
other's life more worthwhile. To some pseudo-intellectuals Bhakti is a
silly concept and religion just a concocted prop [opium of the society].
But the great tradition of saints and prophets all over the world has
brought out and emphasized the beauty and validity of Religion. Saints
like SudhanshuJi Maharaj sing the celestial song in a most enchanting
voice and effortlessly motivate us to give up our baseness and get
closer to the nectar so that we may, not only make our own life
beautiful but also become a source and inspiration for others.
