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.
