MIRACLES....


My BAPU always maintains the fact that HE does not perform any Miracles.

A miracle is an ‘unnatural’ application  of ‘natural’ powers by a human being, the intended effect of which is to create such wonder to its beholder that it can be fraudulently ‘passed off’ as a super-natural and divine act. The design behind the miracle is always selfishly evil; meant to wean the devout from the real GOD towards the imposter working these miracles. 

A miracle is against the very law of nature ordained by GOD. The law of nature referred here is the law of karma according to which every living creature gets only what is due to him and that too at the right time and in the right measure – be it gain or pain based on his past actions, good or bad. At every stage at which this law operates, the net effect of pain and gain on the community is evenly constant in terms of equity and justice.

In each of the instances, where my Beloved ANIRUDDHA BAPU has been found intervening in the lives of his devotees is to “SAVE” them from calamities, my BAPU has borne the brunt of the karmic effect of each calamity on HIS Own Self and allowed only a minor effect to fall on the devotees . On the other hand, HE has never usurped any gain due to HIS devotee. 



If seen from this angle, it will be clear that My BAPU has never worked to negate the Law of Karma. Incarnates and true saints have never used their powers for their own benefits. If you decide to have a life partnership with My BAPU, you will find in HIM a partner only in your Losses leaving all the “Gains” of this partnership entirely to YOU.

“Let the eyes continuously gaze intensely at the form of the Sadguru; let the ears register constantly the greatness of the Sadguru; let the mind meditate one-pointedly on the Sadguru; consider oneself privileged to have the facility of the Sadguru’s name for utterance and let oneself abide only by the Word of the Sadguru. To the one who so does, he will be taken through the doors of liberation so smoothly that even the transition will not be felt.”

 
For the one who walks on HIS path, Blessed Moments are bound to come their way. However, it must be noted that only the one who loves ‘HIM’, and has not just belief but Unshakable TRUST, Unconditional FAITH in ‘Him’, walks this path. No matter how stormy the seas, how difficult the times, the trust remains firmly anchored, strongly rooted.  That is the kind of Love and Trust we are talking about. 

The 11the chapter of the Shree Saisachcharit depicts the incident of the torrential rains when not just human beings but cattle and other animals too rushed to Sainath. He is their One, definite refuge. They ‘know’, they are not surer of any other thing – He would certainly save them. That was where they ought to go and that was exactly where they went. The more Intense the Trust in GOD, the more confident will one be. And a person endowed with confidence stemming from trust in GOD surrenders only to GOD and not to circumstances, he tides over them.

That my Sadguru is Forever with me gives me strength to rise above difficulties that Fate may have in store. The great saint Eknath said, ‘indelible be the writings of fate, the loving grace of Hari can wipe them clean’. But this kind of salvaging comes only with the loving grace of Hari for which the prerequisite is very obviously first of all, ‘Hari is’ and ‘I surrender to Him with all my love and trust’. Those walking the path of unshakable faith – bhakti – selfless service find life taking a wonderful turn, they feel and experience the love and presence of God, they feel taken care of. They experience ‘BLESSSED MOMENTS’. They cherish and share these. Listening to these is an experience in itself, an experience of connecting, feeling the love. Let us listen with a clear and clean mind. The joy and love will be mirrored in our heart – of its own accord. 

We all have our FAIR share of Unlimited Experiences which our P.P. BAPU gives us daily  and it is something which  only we know, in our Deep HEARTS that it is only "HIM" who 'Is It'. For all those who "Love HIM dearly" HE is always Omnipotent & Omnipresent for them. 
ANIRUDDHA FOREVER....

Shree Aadya Pipa Samadhi Sthanam




Aadya Pipa Samadhi Sthanam was established in Juinagar on 19th April 2007 in the presence of Param Poojya Aniruddha Bapu Himself along with, Param Poojya Nandaai and Param Poojya Suchitdada.

 
 
 


This Rakshakalash contains mixture of Udi given to Aadyapipa’s father by Shree Sainath Himself, along with the Udi that was given to Aadyapipa by Param Poojya Aniruddha Bapu Himself which is mixed with the mortal remains of Aadyapipa. Every year on 19th April, all shraddhavans celebrate the life of a sagely, pious and unfathomably Holy Bhakta, dear Aadya Pipa.

On this day every shraddhavan gets the opportunity to listen the best from the collection of abhangs that were written and composed by our beloved Aadya-Pipadada Shri Sureshchandra Dattopadhye alias Kaka

Its been over 5 years since he left this mortal world for his heavenly abode but his ethereal compositions still strike a chord with each and every Shraddhavan and show them the true meaning of UNCEASING and UNQUESTIONING LOVE and COMPASSION for THE SADGURU...

Shree ANIRUDDHA Upasana Foundation

 
Shree Aniruddha Upasana Foundation (the Foundation) is a ‘not-for-profit’ charitable institution incorporated under Section 25 of the Companies Act, 1956, in April 2005, with the blessings and inspiration of Param Poojya Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Bapu (Dr. Aniruddha Dhairyadhar Joshi - MD. Medicine, Mumbai). Since the time of its inception, apart from pursuing its principal objects of setting up Upasana Centres across the length and breadth of the country and abroad and propagating the spiritual teachings and preaching of Sadguru Shree Aniruddha, the Foundation, alongwith its sister organizations, such as Shree Aniruddha Aadesh Pathak (SAAP), Aniruddha’s Academy of Disaster Management (AADM), all of which are registered charitable organizations, etc. also undertake various socio-cultural activities, under the divine blessings, guidance and inspiration of Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Bapu.

Sadguru Shree Aniruddha’s preachings and teachings emanate from two fundamental principles and values - Adhyaatma (spirituality with Bhakti as the fulcrum) and Aadhaar (sustained support) - with bhakti being the common thread binding the two. Bhakti, in turn, has two facets to it - Shraddha-Bhakti and Seva-Bhakti. Bapu says that Bhakti becomes meaningful only when a person treads the path of Seva. In fact the line of thinking of Shraddha-Bhatki and Seva-Bhakti is the basic nature of Bapu. These principles are constantly and at all times active. Bapu does not have to do anything deliberate in order to practice the principles of Shraddha-Bhatki and Seva-Bhakti. It is a way of life for Him. It is impossible to separate and remove these values and principles from His life. The principle of Aadhaar is embodied in the first charitable organization that was set up by Bapu way back in the early nineties - Dilasa Medical Trust & Rehabilitation Centre. The word Dilasa itself means Aadhaar.

Sadguru Shree Aniruddha’s preachings and teachings cover a very broad spectrum, encompassing all aspects of our lives, be it family life, social and cultural aspects, governance, etc. Sadguru Shree Aniruddha’s preachings and teachings can be accessed from a range of sources; be they from His discourses over the past 14 years, many of which are in public domain, His earliest works - ‘Tadaatmanam Srujamyaham’ and ‘Aavaahanam Na Jaanaami’ (both in Marathi), the three volumes of the Shreemad Purushartha Grantharaj, viz. ‘Satya Pravesh’ (available in Marathi, English, Hindi and Gujarati), ‘Prem Pravaas’ (available in Marathi, English and Hindi) and ‘Anand Saadhanaa’ (available in Marathi), His editorials on a range of topics in His capacity as the Executive Editor of the Marathi - Hindi bilingual daily PRATYAKSHA and last but not the least His exhaustive treatise on Sunderkand, again through the columns of PRATYAKSHA, offer a veritable treasure trove that provides answers to virtually all questions that haunt and confront us with regard to all aspects of our lives.

Shree Aniruddha Upasana is performed by groups of bhaktas of Sadguru Shree Aniruddha, who assemble together once a week, generally on Saturdays. Each such group is known as a Upasana Centre. There are 634 such centres spread across the country and the globe.

ANIRUDDHA'S Universal Bank of RAMNAAM


 















On 18th August 2005, Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Bapu on the auspicious day of Thursday founded the Aniruddha’s Universal Bank of Ramnaam at Shree Harigurugram.

The underlying meaning of Aniruddha’s Universal Bank of Ramnaam is remembrance of GOD and HIS glories and graces in such a way, so that it leads all the devotees to the path of happiness and devotion in their lives.

Aniruddha’s Universal Bank of Ramnaam implies a Notebook which gives the devotees an opportunity to recollect the sacred name of GOD anytime & everytime. Priced at just Rs. 25/- one can earn this Divine Form of Spiritual Wealth, which no currency in this Universe can buy back from You.

The book contains 220 pages.  Every page of the book has Lord HANUMANTA’s  image watermarked in the background, on which the devotees get the golden opportunity to write various names of GOD as follows :-

(i) RAM Naam -- Each page has 12 rows and 9 columns totalling 108 squares devoted to writing this Naam.

 

(ii) Shri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram Naam -- Each page has 3 rows and 9 columns totalling 27 rectangles devoted to writing this Naam.



(iii) Krishna Naam -- Each page has 12 rows and 9 columns totalling 108 squares devoted to writing this Naam.



(iv) Dattaguru Naam -- Each page has 6 rows and 9 columns totalling 54 squares devoted to writing this Naam.


(v) Jai Jai Aniruddha Hari Naam -- Each page has 3 rows and 9 columns totalling 27 rectangles devoted to writing this Naam.


To become a member of Aniruddha’s Universal Bank of Ramnaam, an individual should complete and deposit atleast one book of Ramnaam written by him at the Bank.

A concept that is truly unique, devotees write the various names of the Almighty in the Ram naam book specially designed for the purpose and upon completion of the book they deposit it with the trust. The trust in turn opens a 'Savings account' of the person depositing the book. Based on the number of completed books returned back, the account of the account holder is credited and certain spiritual privileges are granted upon reaching specified milestones. 

Each devotee may on special occasions like birthday, marriage etc, of our relatives and dear ones can write and devote the Ramnaam book for them and deposit it at the Bank in their name. The writing of this Book protects us and also the ones to whom we dedicate them from difficulties and problems. 

Our Sadguru Aniruddha BAPU deposits 50% benefit in the account to those who write the Ramnaam book and another 50% is given to the person to whom the book is dedicated.

It is advisable that every year, each member of the Bank should atleast deposit 18 notebooks. If any member deposits 150 notebooks within 5 years from the date of opening his account then he/ she will be designated as a lifelong member of the Bank.

The notebook has to be filled in ONLY by the person, in whose name it has been allotted. 

Devotees may fill in their notebooks in any script and in any ink of their choice but the same should be in readable handwriting.
Age, time period and the place impose no restrictions on writing and completion of the notebook. Once completed, the notebook/s may be deposited in any of the branches of the Bank of Ramnaam.

In short, while writing Ramnaam notebook we get connected with the Divine name of the Lord which we chant while writing it. This is the biggest benefit of writing the Ramnaam books.

This is the Most precious form of "SPIRITUAL WEALTH" which a person can accumulate for the betterment of his "Soul".
