About Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Bapu

This mission was unveiled in the year 1996 and the last fourteen years have seen numerous activities and projects grow towards its realization.

Today bhaktas of Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Bapu have transcended all barriers of religion, caste, creed and nationality and spread not only across India but all over the globe. With the divine grace and inspiration of Sadguru Bapu, so many activities and projects happen constantly and so the volume of information to be communicated has increased manifold. manasamarthyadatas.com formed under the leadership and guidance of Sameer Dada, seeks to connect all bhakta friends of Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Bapu from all over the world to the events and happenings back home.

What is it that sets him apart from others on the face of this earth? HE is indeed a SADGURU who defies convention, whose profile is unique. A qualified doctor, MD – Medicine - a Rheumatologist of repute, he was born on the most auspicious day of Kartik Pournima (Tripurari Pournima) on November 18, 1956, in the early hours of dawn, at thirty five minutes past four.

A complete family man like any of us, he lives with his wife who is most reverently addressed as Nanda Mata, and his children – his son Pauras and his daughter Shakambari.
And so this perfect family person leading by example communicates through his own conduct that it is very much possible to achieve the highest purpose in life without in any way, turning away from worldly life. Spirituality does not in any way imply apathy towards worldly affairs. It consists in never losing sight of the fact that life is an offering unto the bhagavanta and every moment of our life is open to him. It is therefore a way of life….. a path that brings everlasting joy and peace. And that is what this unique Sadguru wants for all of His friends.

“I shall fill this world with happiness and abound with joy, all that be” Yes, that is his resolve, his wish for all of his friends and yes, that is the role He wishes to play – the role of a true friend, ‘I am not an avatar, not of anybody. I am Aniruddha….I am your friend, a friend who wants to see you happy”….
And so it will be…. as the very reassuring pledge of this ‘Friend’ is
‘You and Me firm together, nothing can stand in the way, ever!’

I Am with You, your companion, Be sure;
that All times, whatever your course.
You may, though for a rare moment, forget Me;
I will not, never, that's My word.

Descent of River Ganges for Eternity at Prasannotsav


I am sure all readers would have read earlier posts on Shree Varada Chandika Prasannotsav. I am writing this post after the entire Utsav is ACCOMPLISHED. The purpose of calling it accomplished is this is how Param Poojya Sadguru Aniruddha Bapu described it during his closing address of the ceremony.  So it means that Prasannotsav has not ended but has actually started for all the Shraddhavans who believe in 9 principals of Bapu.

In my today's post I would like to highlight one particular very important event from the Utsav and that is of the Descent of Ganges for Eternity. On the 3rd day of the Utsav i.e. on 10th May 2011 Sadguru Bapu performed the ceremony along with Param Poojya Nandai in which unending waters of Ganges, Mandakini and Alaknanda was made available to all the Shraddhavans.

While acknowledging the claim of the scientists that Ganges would go dry in next 40-60 years, by making Ganges descend for eternity at Shree Harigurugram Bapu has made sure that this river which is religiously extremely important for India as a whole doesn't disappear in oblivion.The event was performed to preserve Ganges.

While describing Ganges Bapu said that Ganges continuously recites 'गं' beej. She is Tripada Gamini. This Tripada Gamini would She is eternal knowledge. Physical (bhautik), Pranmay and Manomay bodies of humans would be refined by Her. She is Gyanganga (River of Knowledge) and originates and lotus feet of Lord Vishnu. Meaning of Gyanganga is "Analysis of Past, Present and Future". She needs support of Lord Shiva to descend on this earth (Shivam Dynanopadesham). In Physical (bhautik) form She is Bhagirathi, in Pranmay form She is Alaknanda and in Manomay form Mandakini.

At the start Bapu made all recite Ganganashtak which is authored of sage Valmiki.

Then further prayers were offered to 49 Marutgans to protect the waters of Ganges which is found in bodies of all of us. Scientifically these 49 Marutgans are represented by 49 neuro-transmitters found in our brains. (85% of brain is made of water). This prayer would purify water in our bodies. This matra recited keeps us away from lust and wrong things.

Further Bapu again stressed on the importance of taking sunlight on our skin for atleast and hour a day which He has earlier explained during his Ramrajya discourse last year. Then all prayed to Sun God to keep their minds pure. Prayers where further made to Lord to make us delivery only good things if not bad. This pure water is like nectar (amrut) and and drinking it is like consecrating (abhishek) oneself which excites Godly elements.

Mahishasurmardini Mata has 8 hands. Incidentally Bapu listed 8 properties of water namely: 1) Dilution 2) Sweetness and Odour 3) Medicinal Properties 4) Electricity 5) Carrier Properties 6) Oxygen Mixing Capacity 7) Ionic Reaction Properties 8) Simulation and Energy Production.

Further on the 5th day i.e. 12th May Bapu again along with Nandai established Shree Shiv Ganga-Gauri.

The whole Utsav was an eternal bliss. To tell you something more about Utsav taking part in Shree Raktadantika pujan was a lifetime experience. Carrying Avdhoot Kumbh on head was another unforgettable experience. And offcourse getting to witness the Sahastra Chandi Yagnya which is hard for even an emperor to perform was another of it.

This is one thing that will be remembered by all of us who witness it as the best thing to have happened in our life.

The Shree Varada Chandika Prassanotsav is almost upon us now. Mothi Aai is coming and coming very, very soon to grace us Shraddhavans with her Majestic Dasrshan. 7th of May will mark the beginning of this Unique and Heavenly Utsav. Yes on the 7th of May our very own Param Poojya Bapu will himself initiate this Utsav for us. The following events will be performed by him between 11:00 am and 5:00 pm on 7th May.

  1. The first event to unfold that day will be the MANDAP POOJANAM [मंडपपूजनम], the entire area of Shree HariGuruGram will be cleansed and prepared for the advent of Mothi Aai.

Thereafter the following events shall occur.

2.  Bapu will also pefrform the first Rajopchar Poojan of this Utsav. The Rajopchar Poojan is a real spectacle, a Royal way of doing the poojan of our very own Aadimata Chandika.

3.  The same day Bapu will also perform the Abhishek on the Paduakas of Shree Narsimha Saraswati. These Padukas which are placed in Bapu’s House shall be brought to Shree HariGuruGram specifically for this purpose.

4.  The Sthapana of the three Grand Roopas of our Aadimata shall then occur on the Main stage. The AkhilaKameshwari Roopa of Aai Mahishasurmardini, shall be placed in the centre with the Kalniyantri Roopa of Maha-Kali on her left and the Aarogya Bhavani Roopa of Maha-Saraswati on her right.

5.  Now that the sthapana of the Aadimata in done, the sthapana of her Beloved son the Paramatma in the form of the Devi-Simha shall be done right next to her.

6.  Bapu has promised us that the flow of the Ganga, in the form of Udi shall remain uninterrupted till eternity and the sthapana of this very Ganga Mata moorti shall occur following which the sthapan of the Janhavi Sthanam will take place.


7.  Following the sthapana of Ganga mata the sthapana of the Ganga Pataka shall occur.

8. The Sthapana of Maha-Kali Kunda wherein the Dahan [setting ablaze] of the 11 powerful Asuras known to be the cause of all pain and suffering in our life, whilst existing within our own mind and body, shall also take place on the same day.

12.At the same site we will be having 11 Kanthakoopa Pashan arranged in a specific manner around the water body [Jalashaya] created specifically for this Shree Durga Vrada Hom.

13.The sthapana of this Jalashaya shall also be done here.

14.The sthapana of the Katraaj Sthana shall take place, This is the place where all Shraddhavans performing the Maha-Poojan and the Shatrughneshwari Poojan shall offer their poojan Dravya to the Aadimata.

15.Thereafter we will also witness the Sthapana of the Yagna-Kunda at the Shree Durga Varada Hom, wherein the Dhoopa Havan will take place, resonant with the recital of The MatruvatsalyaVindanam in the voice of our Dearest Sadguru Bapu.

16.On the main stage, besides the 3 Majestic Roopas of the Aadimata, we will also be having the sthapana of the Shree Avadhoota Kumbha. 17.Finally the event which will be the culmination of the program meant for 7th of May shall be the Shree Pitambar Peeth Kshetra Poojan. This event will mark the Culmination, err..... actually the Start of this Wonderful and unique “SHREE VARADA CHANDIKA PRASSANOTSAV.”

Shree Varada Chandika Prasannotsav

The about four days time we will be welcoming our Mothi Aai in six of Her ethereal roopas, under one single roof at Shree Harigurugram with the beginning of Shree Varada Chandika Prasannotsav.

During this utsav the 6 roopas we will be fortunate enough to take darshan of are:
  1. Akhila-Kameshwari Roopa [Mahishasurmardini AAI]
  2. Kala-Niyantri Roopa [Maha-Kali AAI]
  3. Arogya-Bhavani Roopa [Maha-Saraswati AAI]
  4. Shatrughneshwari Roopa [Raktadantika AAI]
  5. Ganga Mata
  6. and the MOST LOVED ROOPA, sculpted by our DEAR BAPU -The MATRUVATSALYAVINDANAM [In the Aarti of Chandika Mata we all know that the Ninth Roopa of Mahishasurmardini AAI is Nitya - Mantramalini and I believe that this ROOPA is definitely the MATRUVATSALYAVINDANAM.]
This Prassanotsav will be a once in a lifetime occasion and I just cant accept the fact that how fortunate we are to be able to take darshan of such 6 Majestic and truly pristine roopas of our Mothi AAI at one single place and that too in the presence of our Sadguru Bapu.

Just imagine the ambiance when we will experience the:
  • The Maha - Kali Kunda where the 11 asuras, Madhu Kaithaba, Mahishasur, Shumbha, Nishumbha, Raktabeeja, Dhoomralochana, Asiloma, Chand, Mund and Ravana [the asuras polluting our body and mind and our very existence] will be burnt in the fire where we will offer the Asura Dahan Dravya
  • The Maha - Laxmi Deep where we will be able to offer the Sura Snehan Dravya [Oil]
  • The Maha-Saraswati Vapi where we will be able to offer the Mangalya Dravya to our Mothi Aai
  • The Sahastrachandi Yaag wherein more than 108 Purohits will do the Parayan [continuous reading] of the Sapta Shati grantha 1008 times in 10 days.
  • The Janhavi Sthanam where the Ganga Mata Poojan will be done to ensure that the Ganga in the form of the Udi will keep flowing in this world till eternity from our very Own Gurukshetram
  • The Rajopchari Poojan of the Akhila-Kameshwari Roopa, Kala-Niyantri Roopa, Arogyabhavani Roopa of the Mothi AAI  done daily along with the Maha-Naivedya, Maha-Bhog and the Maha-aarti. 
  • The Shatrughneshewari Poojan, in which we will view the Roopa of our Mothi Aai which is 'Heaven Bent' on saving her sons and daughters from all evils. This Roopa appears very Aggressive but one must remember that she has taken this Roopa to finish off all evil which is troubling her Shraddhavan children. 
  • The Shree Durga Varada Hom with the Sanskrit recital of the Matruvatsalyavindanam in Bapu's own voice.
  • And all of this while we will be listening to the continuous rendition of The Nitya Jap, of the 3 mantras by Bapu Himself.
I am sure that we are all still to come to terms with the Actual Gravity of this Great and Unique occurrence. But I pray to Bapu to make us aware of it very soon so that we may benefit the most from it.
