<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;">W</span>e are gathered here today with a special enthusiasm; I know.
Basically, I am a person who loves the world of music, who feels at peace in
the company of nature. All types of music interest me; all, ranging from folk
music to classical music, and so there was this song that I used to like. Yes,
I used to. “<b>Tasveer banata hoon, tasveer
nahi banti; ek khwaab sa dekha hai taabeer nahi banti </b>” I really loved this
song. When I began to travel around India, I happened to hear it from all over
the country, from all the ten directions. Tasveer banata hoon,tasveer nahi
banti …The eyes of every poor man, the face of every middle-class person, the
hard labour of every toiling worker, every mind that was wronged, seemed to
echo this song. I was sad, but only for a while; for this was followed by “<b>Tasveer se bigadi hui takdeer banaale, apne
pe bharosa hai to yeh daav lagaa le </b>”. And today I am here for that
everything, “yeh daav lagaane ke liye” (to play my stakes). I am standing on a
Dharmakshetra, on a Kurukshetra. But, I am here to prevent a Dharmakshetra from
turning into a Kurukshetra and not to turn the Dharmakshetra into a
Kurukshetra….. remember that. Now, what does that mean? What I am about to
share with you is, in fact, a conversation I have had with myself; my
conversation with my own self. The world today is moving on, advancing in the
direction of doom. Be it the ordinary poor workers, who do not understand
politics, either at the national level or at the municipality level and are
obviously ignorant about the international scene, or the persons well-versed
with the political, social, and economic situation of the country, both must be
well aware that mankind today is moving swiftly, not towards progress or
towards becoming a more civilized culture, but towards disaster. I am here to
avert the Kurukshetra. I will try to avert the Kurukshetra till the end.
Remember, what I object to is, the non-violence of the weak… I object to the
non-violence of the weak. Resorting to non-violence just because one is
incapable of fighting back is just not right. My goal is to resort to peaceful
means inspite of my capabilities and strengths. The word ‘non-violence ’
includes violence... <b>non-violence</b>. Non-violence is all that goes
into the
wiping out of violence. Violence does not consist in killing with a
weapon. One
can be violent without having to kill. This kind of violence is
spreading fast
and spreading everywhere. The trend seen in the politics of all nations
today
indicates that very soon… very soon the international political scene...
remember that very soon does not of course, mean in a day or two… very
soon
internal unrest is going to rise. Besides, the precursor to the reign of
anarchy that will come has already occurred. I do not think the present
generation knows much about the first and second world wars, not even
through
the written word. What we read in school is only to get through the
exams, and
end up forgetting it. So, those who talk in terms of war, forget that
war is
not child’s play. Great Britain was Great Britain until the end of the
2nd
World War… it was Great Britain. Then what remained thereafter was just
Britain… merely Britain. We need to know this and know this well. But,
we
never really paid any heed to this episode in History. <b>Besides, the
significant events, that are to occur shortly in the world… India will
play a very important role in these, in all significant events… a
very important role</b>. Merely uttering words like “My country is
indeed great” does not make the country great. The fact that our
forefathers were great
does not make us great. My grandfather may have been the king of this
country
but if I have been reduced to begging, then I am indeed a beggar. This
is
exactly our situation today. Nevertheless, know that <b>it is going to be India who will lead… 108%… </b>Definitely. But, what
good are mere loud proclamations? When I look around, what I find here in India
is that the richest harvest that we reap is that of idle talk, words… nothing
but words; so many of them, that the ‘Shabdabrahma’ seems to have dissociated
itself from Brahma and reduced to a cacophony. Everybody wants to talk,
everybody likes to talk. However, they expect the action to be done by others. <b>Know that, irrespective of whether people
follow me or not, I will accomplish what I want to and that, mind you, is my
vow. I will be only too happy if my dear mates join me or follow me. But, even
if the whole world is up against me, I will not be deterred from going my way
and sticking to my values. That is for sure… 100%… 108%</b>. What will follow
now is my 13-point programme. <b>But, right
at</b> <b>the outset, let me make it clear
that, as far as this work is concerned, I will not tolerate the interference of
any political party or any political organization whatsoever. Similarly, I will
by no means tolerate any political movement being born out of it. Even the
slightest hint of the kind and I will dissociate myself and move away from the
movement. I have no political ambitions… none at all… 108%. I neither want to
be a leader nor a ruler. You call me a Sadguru... I accept it. You call me
God... I accept it. You call me a Monster... I accept it. I will accept any name
you wish to give me. However the only role I wish to play is that of a friend.
I am your friend… one who never betrays… one who really wishes you well… a
friend on the path of truth, who gives all the love. </b>Remember also that
when I refer to ‘Dharmakshetra’, I do not refer a particular dharma but the
maanav dharma (the religion of humanity) Truth, Love and Joy that is the dharma
that is being spoken about. We have to fight all those who stand in the way of
this dharma….100%. What all do I have to do to fight them?… There is a long
way to go. </span></div>

<b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;">My first point and the
last point are progressive from both the directions.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;">We have to be calm and listen… every word… in order to take in
every word, not just in order to take it in but in order that it becomes our
life. As a small child I had read this story. There was once a sparrow. A snake
would come and eat up her eggs. The sparrow feels helpless before the snake.
She approaches a mongoose.“Look, the snake ate up my babies. Please eat up the
snake”. She pleads. “Don’t bother me,” says the mongoose. “That is your
problem, not mine. There is nothing that I can do.” Since the mongoose refuses
to help her, she has to go elsewhere. She decides to turn to the enemy of the
mongoose, a more powerful being. But she does not find any. However she comes
across the lion. She says to him “O lion, this cobra is destroying my babies. I
need the mongoose’s help. Will you scare the mongoose and force him to fight
the snake?” The lion says, “How does that concern me?” She then flies off to an
elephant and says “the lion won’t listen to me. The mongoose too won’t help me.
The snake keeps coming to eat my eggs. What do I do?” The elephant too refuses,
saying, “That is not my business. I have so many other things to do.” The
sparrow is very sad. Just then, she happens to see an ant. She pleads again.
“You are a mother just like me. The snake keeps coming to eat my eggs. Please
do something. Please.” “I have to stock grains of sugar. I cannot help you,”
replies the ant. Helpless at first but desperate because of the crisis, she
threatens the ant, “I will eat you up unless you go and bite the elephant’s
ear.” The ant gets scared and she bites the elephant’s ear. The elephant then
scolds the lion that, in turn, scolds the mongoose. The mongoose scolds the
snake. The moral of the story is that whatever has to be done is accomplished
only through your own abilities; abilities coupled with intelligent thinking.
Servile talk leads us nowhere. This, we must know and we must know well. The
strategy followed in the politics of the world is decided by the power that
governs. The beginning of the 2nd world war saw the victory of Germany over
various nations. Czechoslovakia was one of them. Until then, England did not
feel the need to offer any help. France did not feel the need either. Both
these nations conveniently chose to forget the Treaty Of Peace, whereby they
were, in fact, obliged to help Czechoslovakia. They entered the war on the side
of Poland and that too only when they anticipated the direct effect of the war
on their own nation. Let us not forget this. It must be noted that since all
strategies are decided by the powers and the authorities, unless India becomes
strong in every way, it will not command any respect or worth in the world.
But, look at the ways of our society. We never want to take the initiative in
doing something. All we want to do is to act as a spoke-in-the-wheel when
others decide to take up good endeavors. </span>We demoralize them and prevent them
from doing the good work. We are well versed with the tricks of the trade… so
many of them. We all must bear in mind that as we move forward, this kind of
internal resistance has to be overcome. As we go about looking for solutions,
we may feel a particular solution is the most effective. However, in the event
that the best solution is not available, we have to pull on till the best or
the most effective solution is found. But, till then we have to manage to find
a way to survive, don’t we?<span style="color: black;"> We just have to shed
these tendencies. This is my country. Every citizen of my country is my kin.
This sentiment has to be born inside of us. Once upon a time it did exist in
us. It really did. Consider this: Pilgrims travelled from Rameshwar right upto
Kashi, even upto Pashupatinath and from Pashupatinath upto Rameshwar. There were
no planes, no trains and no S.T. buses then. You can imagine how many years a
journey would take. There were no hotels like today. Money was no great help at
all. One could not stay in a hotel in return for money. Yet, this journey that
lasted 12 and even 14 years was absolutely safe. They never faced any language
problem. Nobody would learn 22- 23 languages before setting out on the journey.
But, they were welcome all over. This only indicates the country, with all the
different fibres, was held together in one single weave. Today, we come across
questions as to where we belong? To this state or that? To this caste or that?
Just how many pieces are we going to divide our country into? Are we not aware
that we can survive only as long as the nation does? We seem to believe in the
principle that “The soldier’s chest is meant to take the bullet, while we take
our meals in the comfort of our homes. Protecting the nation is the
responsibility of the army and we have no role to play in protecting the nation
or even strengthening it”. But this is wrong. Now I shall begin with my next
program. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;">Clothing… Cloth. Even today, there are scores of students, not
just in villages but also in cities, who do not have enough clothing to cover
their bodies. As a result, they are unable to attend school and thus remain
deprived of education. Therefore, such children or for that matter even the
class that toils but fails to make ends meet, has to be provided with clothing.
We are not talking of beggars; we are talking of those who work for their
living. It is an important issue even today. Similarly, in times of natural
calamities, those affected need to be provided with clothing. The aged, who
have nobody to look after them, also should receive clothing. This is the first
programme on my list. While on this point, I wish to recall, with love,
something very beautiful; something that binds us all Indians, binds us firmly
to it. And we have lost sight of it. Yet, the bond persists. It keeps surfacing
over and over again in History. It keeps signalling to us. We are talking of
our bond with the <b>Charkha</b>, a
boon that a great soul of this country, Mahatma Gandhi, bestowed upon
us.
Mahatmaji may have had his own political views. I do not understand
politics. I
do not wish to understand it. There was no bullet proof vehicle and no
bullet
proof glass. This old man was shot… and at that moment what he uttered
was… HEY RAM. We Indians believe that only saints utter the name of God
as they
breathe their last. But then, he was indeed a saint. Just this one thing
is
enough for me. The rest, gossip and disputes, I have left to those who
indulge
in it. That is their business. You might wonder, “Bapu, why do you want
to drag
us to the times bygone? There are mills now.”
But, then, these mills cannot provide me, as Indians, with cloth, and,
that too, free of cost. I want your hands that toil. The two Spinning
Wheels
that you see here….the vertical one is out-dated. The one that is there
in the
wooden box is called the <b>YERAWADA WHEEL</b>.
The other one that looks like a machine is the <b>AMBAR CHARKHA…</b>
Ambar Charkha. We are going to spin the yarn on
these two wheels. From today, I begin the Saptapadi of the chakra and
the
mantra… the chakra and the mantra. We want Bapu’s love. We want Bapu’s
blessings. Bapu is with all those who spin the charka and chant the
mantra… 108%. Chakra is the wheel of the charkha. I do not want you to
throw your
money and get cloth in return for that. I want you to get involved. You
have to
take this responsibility. The wheel has to spin as you work hard and as
you say
the mantra. Our organization has done a lot of preparations. I myself
was
preparing for it. I have learnt to… </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;">Many organizations helped us in our preparations that have been going
on for around six months. I feel the need to mention their names. The Gopuri
Ashram, Vardha, Vinobaji’s Sarvodaya Ashram, the Gujarat Khadi Gramodyog
Mandal, Ahmedabad, the Orphanage founded by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the
various artisans there. Narendrabhai Shah, Bababhai Patel who helped us and, of
course, the name where it all began, Dr.Madhavdas Thackersey. I must express my
gratitude to the Trustees of Mani Bhavan, the Vice-chairman of Mani Bhavan Mr.
Subramaniam and Mr.Tulsidas Somaiya. They have trained 12 of our volunteers not
only in spinning the yarn but also in the entire process, and all this with so
much love. Both these wheels yield yarn. However, the Yeravada wheel (charkha)
is used to fabricate only the transverse yarn whereas the Ambar wheel that is
mechanical, can be used for both the longitudinal as well as the transverse one
and can be used to weave cloth. The Ambar charkha costs about Rs.1850/-. The
cost may vary a little. The Yeravada Charkha costs about Rs.450/-. The cost
depends on the wholesale rate effective at a given moment. The sliver there has
to be bought. That is called the Sliver. Our friends in Bardoli, Vardha,
Ahmedabad have promised to help us on that front. They are putting in sincere
efforts. We, all of us, have to now spin the wheels. Our organization will get
these slivers at Rs.80/-. ….buy as much,
as many slivers as is possible for you, spin the yarn and give it to our
Organization. Those who are not able to do this, those who cannot participate
in this work and spin the charkha must help those who can, and also support
those who buy the sliver. This is a totally self-dependent plan and I
absolutely insist that it is carried out by these means. Spinning the yarn,
weaving cloth … Spinning the charkha will be taught at the Mumbai Sarvodaya
Mandal, 1<sup>st</sup> floor, Nana Chowk, Mumbai on Sundays from 9.30 a.m. to
11a.m.and on Wednesdays and Fridays between 3.30 p.m and 5.00 pm. You might
ask, “Bapu, why all this running around?” I have already said in the beginning,
that I want your involvement. Even if you buy cloth in return for money that
you pay and we weave the fabric we might be able to provide cloth worth
Rs.4.50/-or Rs.5.00/-when the expense is Re.1/-. We can provide cloth enough
for 4-5 persons at the cost of cloth that is actually meant for only one, and
that too which is very durable and brand new, mind you. Those who use khadi
know how durable it is and that it does not wear out at all. It is a need. It
is a need of the students, of the women.
Education too is a need. Education alone can free a large part of the Indian
Society from the clutches of blind faith, discrimination and all that stands in
the way of the welfare of the country. They must all be aware, aware of the
rights and their duties. So, this cause aims at providing clothing, free of
cost, to children not only in Mumbai or in Maharashtra but all over the
country. The Organization will make the fabric. It will bear the cost of
weaving cloth. It will be distributed all over the country, among all castes,
all sects, without accepting even so much as a rupee as token. Mind you, this
will be a gift, not alms. If you feel these are alms or help, do not spin the
charkha. I will do it all by myself. The yarn that it yields will be enough for
me. Not, of course, for me to wear. I do not insist that you wear Khadi. Let
all orphans get clothing to cover themselves. We just do not get any idea while
living in the city. The villages in Maharashtra are relatively better off, but
think of the situation in Khandesh. Our organization is working so sincerely. I
am happy to announce that like in Dhule, we are going to adopt 3 more schools
and villages. This again is for the same purpose. The initial stages have
already taken off, spinning the yarn all by yourself and chanting the mantra
simultaneously. And what do you think the mantra is? I would like you to ask me
a question, “Bapu, which God do you worship?” To tell you the truth, I do not
worship any God. My God, is sitting right before me, I worship him. Bapu
belongs to all those who turn the charkha and chant the mantra. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;">Baar maas</span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"> means 12 months. It is the Baar maas farming fodder plan. But I
really would like to name it “Go-grass”. (A morsel of food for the cow). The
moment we see a cow on the road we bow before her, touching her tail, we also
do namaskaar. On Mondays, in the holy month of Shravan, I see cows with their
stomachs tight and full. A hire charge of Rs.15/-is what is payable. We keep
stuffing the cow. Then I wonder which doctor gives her tablets if she has to
put up with indigestion. We just refuse to give up the idea that we earn ‘punya
’ by feeding the cow. Instead of that, why don ’t we give a thought to the
farmer who is the main support, the pillar and who depends entirely on this
animal? In India, famine strikes all the time. Mr. N.C.Kelkar has written the
biography of Lokmanya Tilak; a beautiful one. He describes the famine that
struck in 1852. Famine is by no means a temporary phenomena or crisis in India.
It affects some place or the other. But there is a calamity that is worse than
famine. The debt of the farmer. There are multiple factors responsible for this
situation. The rocky and barren land, lack of rain, lack of ponds, canals, dams
and most of all the scarcity of grass and the inconvenience cause to cattle,
This is an important factor. During the famine, the farmer even sells his
clothes to make ends meet. However, in famine struck areas, cattle are sold at
the price of fodder and fodder is bought for the price of gold. I see this
situation in many areas, including Khandesh; there is no fodder because there
are no rains. There is no water throughout the year. So then it is the
responsibility of the city dwellers. We have to grow this grass. The water that
the government provides us with is used for drinking and washing utensils and
clothes. It is the farmer who provides us with food. We have to grow this grass
to feed their animals. That is why this project is also called ‘<b>Round the year farming</b>’ fodder project
or the Non-Farming–Fodder Project. That is “Go-grass”. All of us have to grow
this grass. We do not need large pieces of land for that. We have grown it in
our chawls and flats. We, my volunteers and I, have been conducting this
experiment throughout last year. I am preaching what I have already practiced.
Sugarcane, wheat, rice and maize. We peel out the skin of the cane and throw it
away. The nodes can be kept in a tray of water. They sprout to give the main cane
along with the leaves. Once they grow as much as two feet, they are the best
food for cattle. During the Navaratri festival I sow grains of wheat in a plate
and then immerse them in the water. But if we do this round the year, if we sow
wheat, rice or maize in one or may be two plates, the grown sapling will be
collected by our organization. We have now decided to buy two Tempos specially
to transport these, free of cost, for the cattle in the famine struck areas.
Remember, only then will the farmer truly survive. If we want to feed the cow,
let ’s not, foolishly, feed her ‘varan bhaat’ and ‘puran poli’. Just stop these
meaningless and stupid practices. Feed her with food that is grown in your home
out of your own money that you worked for. I know, some might ask, “Bapu, what
about proliferation of mosquitoes in the process?” Well, the answer for that is
ready. Mosquitoes do not breed in grass. It is enough to grow 4 or 5 saplings
at a time. You can, thus, have a yield 3-4 times in a year. Besides, if water
does not stagnate, we need not worry about mosquitoes at all. They lay their
eggs only in water and that is where they grow. Cases of Malaria are on the
rise in Mumbai. If I grow this grass, I know there will be fingers pointing at
me promptly that Bapu is growing grass and that is giving rise to Malaria. It
is not grass that breeds mosquitoes but unhygienic conditions and stagnant
water that do. Hence the round–the–year water, farming and fodder project. Now,
what exactly am I supposed to do? Just take a few grains of cereal and sow it,
as is the Navaratri custom. Get home sugarcane to eat. Each cane has 10-12
nodes. Plant these properly in the soil and when the leaves grow and attain the
required height, deliver them to the Organization and continue doing this. We
never feel the scarcity of water. But, those who do, happen to be those who
provide us with our food. Their cattle are ours, our real cattle. If we want to
collect ‘punya’, we must prepare this food ourselves. Let us make a beginning.
We do not mind if others follow suit. I do not wish that anything should be
stamped as mine. I just know one thing, when God gives us rain; the rain is not
stamped as ‘God’s rain’. The fruits, the wheat, the rice that he gave us also
do not bear His stamp. I therefore feel it is neither necessary nor a need that
any project bears my stamp. This was about the second Point.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;">We collect all the used paper and sell it for Rs.10, 12 or 15 or
whatever, and that too after much haggling. But I want that waste paper. Yes, I
do. You might well ask, “Bapu, what is the plan? Do you want to buy used
articles? Is it to earn money by selling the paper? <b>You are welcome to say anything you want. I do not care</b>. <b>As long as I know that I am on the path of
truth you may say anything, I don’t care</b>. In any case, what we earn is Rs.4
or 5,which hardly makes a difference. If what you get by selling this paper
does not make any difference to your monthly expense, do give this paper to the
organization. Paper bags made out of this paper will go a long way in solving
the plastic bag problem. This will also contribute in the conservation of the
environment. Any paper will do, not just newspaper. Beside paper pulp made out
of this paper will be used to make articles. This will be done at our land at
Karjat. Employment opportunities will thus be created. This employment however,
is not a job. Anybody, who is without a job and has to go hungry, can work
there and earn wages for that day. As much as is possible will be done for this
arrangement to continue. My volunteers have been trained over the last three
years in this work of making various useful things out of paper pulp. If at all
we are left with surplus paper, we will sell it and the money will be transferred
to the ‘Clothing’ project to buy slivers. We must also be aware that if used
paper is used to make new paper cutting down of trees will be curbed. So,
collect all used waste paper. But if you come across a cheat who collects paper
using Bapu’s or the organization’s name, then do not hesitate to throw him in
the waste paper basket. Such people are not even worth the waste paper. They
are just worthless. Whenever work is done for a good cause there are going to
be people who stand in the way. We have to deal with them there. This, then,
was the Waste Paper Project.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;">What I want from you under this project is: Old (but not torn)
clothes, old utensils and old textbooks. Those who feel the need to sell them
may of course sell the books, but those who do not, may please give them to the
organisation. Old toys will do, but only non-battery-operated. I will come to
why I want them……blank pages from old notebooks….. at the end of every year we
do have a few pages left in our notebooks. I am greedy…… I just want all that
is old. So, old clothes (not torn), old utensils, old non-battery-operated toys
and blank pages. From the blank pages our volunteers will make notebooks, which
will be distributed free of cost amongst the poor students. “What are these
toys for, Bapu?” you may wonder. The 5th -6th standard children in villages
still walk 10 miles or more in order to get to school. The teacher keeps
classes going up to the 4th standard. The parents are reluctant to send their children
to school as they miss out on the money that the boy or the girl would earn in
the fields. We need to motivate them, to tempt them; you may call it a bribe if
you wish …I do bribe, I am ready to bribe these children and even their
parents. We have, in fact, done it and with success. Those who are marked
present regularly get these toys and their parents get the clothes. They even
receive old utensils and are temped to send their children to school. You might
say, “Bapu, how are we concerned? These children will grow up and be on their
own. No my dear ones, they are not beggars. You give 25p to the beggar on the
street or when people of a certain gender come to the autorickshaw and beg, you
give them Rs.2-4 out of fear. Don’t you? Stop it now. Help the workers. Learn
to help the students. All these old articles will be used to motivate and
inspire poor students and their parents. We are in fact already doing it. We
are relating to schools on a much larger scale now. This movement, too, has to
spread all over the country…….100%. The old stuff is not just to make a little
money. If old has to be turned to gold, the old has to be put to appropriate
use. That was about the Old is Gold project.

We wish that God should take care of us; keep us warm with His quilt. Lord
Vitthal carried Janabai’s quilt with Him and forgot His own “Shelaa”. The quilt
really deserves a lot of praise. Many workers remain deprived of this quilt.
Making these quilts is offering the warmth of love. Both men and women can make
these and that too sitting at home. These can be made out of torn clothes or
pieces of cloth. A little while ago I said that I want your old clothes and now
I am telling you to put your torn clothes to this use. Meenatai Mahajan is
willing to train both men and women to make quilts. She is an expert in this
art. The training will be imparted in our office and thereafter the quilts can
be made at home. Charity can be made by
way of food, clothing and shelter. This is shelter. We cannot present anyone
with a house but we can surely gift this quilt to the workers and even to
destitute students and women. We do have a lot of free time. Even if we make
use of a little, we can make 2-3 quilts in a month. All we have to do is use
our hands for these purposes instead of using them to surf TV channels.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;">If you take a tour of villages in and outside Maharashtra, you
will discover that there are villages where it is not possible to get electric
supply or, for instance, pay the bill. Certain categories of people, for e.g.
farmers, get it free, for agriculture etc.; but, the others do not. And there
happen to be students within the working class. They have to study, which they
cannot after sunset. School gets over at 5.00 pm and by the time they come
home, it is already dark. When can they study? They have to get up early in the
morning to go to school. Where is the time to study? The teacher then beats
them up; then they are frightened of school.
It is for this reason that we have to bring light. <b>“Ramo Rajamani Sada Vijayate Ramam Ramesham Bhaje” </b>This shloka may
be chanted for as many times as is possible and everyday, if you cannot say it
everyday, say it whenever you can. As you have your bath, before your bath, in
bed at night, but just say it. Ram is the Sun and so, when we give this gift of
light, we have to be addressing Ram. We have to offer candles and matchboxes to
Ram. You will have to buy these candles and matchboxes. These candles and
matchboxes will be brought to the office. The Organization will then distribute
these free of cost to the students who are not able to study because there is
no electricity. This applies to the entire country; in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh,
Chhattisgarh and in Maharashtra in Nagpur area. There are several houses where
there is no light at night. Our candle
must reach there. We do the “navas ”(vows) of various kinds. We must do this
one. My work must get done. Say it to any God or Goddess, pray that your work
must get done. Say that you would give certain number of candles, a certain
number of matchboxes. Your sugar, or the 2 Laddus, even the gold crown that you
give is not going to please any God or Goddess. What will is Seva and Bhakti.
Give your love. Your “navas ”should bring light into the life of these
students. You can even give candles every month, one, if that is indeed my
capacity and one thousand if I am in a position to do so. Each one can give as
per his/her capacity. But, remember that it is important that these candles
reach them. This is the Light of Knowledge Project. <b>“Ramo Rajamani Sada Vijayate Ramam Ramesham Bhaje</b></span><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue;"> </span></b><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;">” </span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;">It is always
Ram who wins, remember. The victory of the Ram naam is the victory of light and
the defeat of darkness. The battle of Light against Darkness and the battle of
Darkness against Light is an ancient battle of this universe. As we fight it, I
wish to address Ram. <b>“Ramo Rajamani Sada

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;">The Cleanliness Campaign squad has now formed from within the
Samarpan Pathak. What I am sharing with you today is on the basis of a 2 1/2
year long research done by the Samarpan Pathak and our other Volunteers. What
is Research? We only know of medical research. We do not recognize any other.
Research is part of Social Sciences and our organization has conducted two such
research projects. They had to visit several centers, people from different schools
of thought, of different religions. The theme was <b>“What do you think should
be done to make India the greatest and the most pre-eminent country of the
world”</b>?</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue;"> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;">Various questions were asked and the answers were sought. The
other project was <b>“The Indian Woman, What Next?</b>” Both these projects
were executed in Marathi, Hindi, Gujarati, English and Kannada. People speaking
languages apart from these were also contacted from time to time for their
views. The results of this research have definitely influenced certain
decisions and policies, and I am putting them all before you today. The workers
who have contributed to this research have been assigned to this Cleanliness
Group (Swachchata Group). We have cleaned up hutment colonies and colonies of
the poor; we cleaned roads. But, from now on, I have changed my strategy; the
cleanliness campaign will, hereafter, function only in schools in poor and
middle-income group areas, public hospitals, and places of worship that are
socially oriented. ‘You can offer help by approaching the group through the
centers. Our group recently carried out this campaign at the Nair Hospital.
They also carried out a project of re-immersion of Ganpati idols. We have now
taken up a new project - water logging. The water-logging project was not my
idea. It came from a friend Mr. Pradeep Varma. Now the scientists and
volunteers are putting their heads together to think about the issue. We are
doing this because it is an urgent need of the hour. But, I have spoken about
it many a times and so I would not want to dwell on it again. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;">Ahilya, <b>Stree janma hee tujhee kahani, Hridayee amrit nayanee
pani.”</b>(That is the story of your life, O woman; Your heart is filled with
nectar and your eyes, with tears.) Ahilya is the personification of the misery
of the Indian Woman. An unscrupulous Indra assuming her husband’s form,
violates her chastity, and her husband, equally unscrupulous, curses her that
she be reduced to a stone. This innocent woman, turns to a stone then waits for
years together for Ram to come and deliver her from that curse. Caught between
the injustice of the society and that of her husband, she is the symbol of the
Indian woman’s misery. The Indian woman is again in danger. She is burnt on the
road and nobody comes to her help. She is raped publicly but nobody wants to
help her. Why do you look at men expectantly that they might help you? The
Ahilya Sangh has been formed under the guidance of <b>Nanda Vahini</b></span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue;"> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;">for women to
strengthen themselves, on their own, to teach an appropriate lesson to all
those who do injustice. Appropriate is what it should be. Prayer and Jap will
not move these wolves. There was this woman who approached a Sadguru and said.
“Sadguru, my boss harasses me. I need this job. What do I do? If I do not yield
to his wishes, he can even sack me by accusing me wrongly. I am a widow, having
three children. My parents and my mother-in-law are all dependent on me. I am
really scared.” The Sadguru was really shrewd …shrewd in the good sense. He did
not give any mantra. He gave her a knife. “Keep this with you. Use it
appropriately at an appropriate moment. He won’t die but he won’t even live
either”. That man is indeed living this kind of a life, mind you. Alive, yes,
but not of any use? If every Indian woman decides to change herself, she will
not have to worry about anything. That is what I would like every woman to
become, with the help of the Ahilya Sangh. All the ancient Indian martial arts
that I have taught Acharya Ravindra Manjrekar, will be used to teach women to
develop their strength. It is you who have to develop it. You might think that
your brother, your children, your husband and the society will come to your
rescue! Draupadi had all her 5 husbands, her father-in-law, the Dharmacharya
before her… none came forward to rescue her, but for Krishna. Today, you do not
even have to wait for Him. Get ready. The Lord will definitely come. But, you
will have to really take efforts to earn this strength. Don’t be under this
wrong impression that I want you to learn using the knife. But be sure that all
the martial arts needed to protect yourselves will be taught to you and there
will be training centers all over the country. The woman has an immense reserve
of strength …strength, which has been suppressed for times immemorial. The time
has now come for it to bloom yet again. However the Ahilya Sangh leaders will
have to beware of genuine allegations and fake ones. <b>Article 498A </b>says that if, within the first 8 years of marriage,
the in-laws torture the daughter-in-law for dowry, they are first taken into
custody and then the investigations are carried out. Many women have taken an
undue advantage of this article. I have seen a 92-year-old paralyzed lady being
arrested. We must not misuse the provisions of law. Strength must be coupled
with responsibility. The persons in authority must know the difference. Do not
wait for Ram to come. Ahilya must take charge and do things herself. She, too,
must be capable of giving a curse, if need be. That is what I expect. Besides,
all women who have been wronged and who are in a crisis, will receive support
from the Ahilya Sangh. The third important thing is that the women who suffer
because of the addiction of their husbands, will also receive help. This also
means helping the de-addiction work. The Ahilya Sangh will do both these
things; mind you, the Ahilya Sangh is not a woman’s liberation movement. It has
been established so that no woman ever has to face the same situation that
Ahilya did. Every center will give personal details and the Sangh will function
accordingly. No tricks. No fights. All that we want is to become strong and
counter injustice.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Manusmriti…
what Manu wrote initially was very good. I do not want to listen to things like
“Later on it was others who added baseless material to it.” If it was indeed
one single person who wrote it, then He must have been truly useless.
Manusmriti has chosen to forget the humane element and compassion. A Smriti
that suggests a humiliating life for women and non-Brahmins must be done away
with. There is no point in burning the work. I neither recognize the Varna nor
the caste. Everyone must get equal opportunities. Follow your caste; I have no
objection. I only have a request; please do not say that my caste is superior
to yours; stop that first. There is no harm in being proud about your caste; I
do not mind. But, our caste is superior and the others’ are inferior, is
something you must stop saying… we have to stop that. It is this caste distinction
that has torn India into pieces, and taken away its strength. When I hear the
educated talking about this caste and the other, I feel ashamed; but they
don’t. Incidentally, the caste that is looked down upon by another, considers
itself superior to some other caste. This is a vicious circle. If we want to
break free, we have to first stop this talk of superior and inferior
castes… stop talking; the rest will be taken care of. I have begun a
‘Dharmagrantha’ in place of the Manusmriti… a Dharmagrantha… Satyasmriti. I
am not an atheist. I have full faith in God. This work has to do with Him. What
would the work be? This work intends to free society from unnecessary rituals,
blind faith and get done only what is apt. It will explain what Dharma is all about.
I am not going to come out with a new philosophy.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;">It is going to be a confluence of the 4 Indian religions,
Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism and Buddhism. The reader of this work must not
belong to any one particular religion. He must belong to the religion of
God....to the religion of humanity. What do I wish to achieve? My most
important announcement, the one that I keep repeating. No agents. There must
not be any agent between the bhakta and God. That is why I am writing this
work. These agents have truly harmed India. I am writing this work so that all
agents disappear totally. Any Bhakta full of love for God need not approach any
agent. I have an aim of establishing at
least one ideal place of Pilgrimage. When on a pilgrimage we come across
unclean temples, the greed for money of the poojaris, the lack of discipline
among the bhaktas. Besides, the beauty of God does not seem to inspire us. We
are servile and only go to ask for something. We don’t even look at the face of
God. Imagine a beautiful, clean temple, where nobody stops you; you can take
darshan with so much peace, you can sit before God and talk to Him… These we
find in our Christian places of worship and the Muslim places of worship. Why,
then can ’t we establish these kind of holy places? Of course we can… surely!
The only thing that should happen is the elimination of these agents. We need
to prepare ourselves mentally. This work will prepare the mind. The last 5
pages of this work will be blank… totally blank. They will be published only
after I go from here, after having done what I am here for. But there is still
a lot of time. Don’t rejoice yet. This is not going to occur in the near
future… 100%. <b><i>No bullet, no bomb can pierce this chest remember… 100%</i></b>. That is what
the Dharmagrantha is going to be, the one that I am writing for my friends.
Today, in India, tradition is nurtured much more than the Truth. We do not care
for the Truth. We are slaves of tradition and that too the wrong one. There
once was a great astrologer, a Jyotishacharya, His name was Brahmagupta. He
authored a new work in the 2nd Century A.D. and do you know what he wrote in
the preface?… a very beautiful thought. He said, the mathematics of the
stars, that Brahmadev gave to us, is now old and so weary, and I am writing it
afresh. In the 2nd Century A.D. this scientist was ready to change the word of
Brahmadev. This is not a palmist who reads our palm; this is an astronomer who
studies the stars. In the 2nd Century A.D. there was a scientist who spoke
these words and, today, we are still not ready to shed our wrong beliefs. My
Dharmagrantha is certainly not meant to make me immortal, in a sense. The Geeta
assures us of that. <b>Besides, nothing can tie me down… nothing at all.
Nobody can stop or contain me. My parents gave me this name of Aniruddha and
that is exactly how I am – Aniruddha - one who cannot be stopped or contained.
Nobody can hold me back - 100%.</b> Whether you like it or not, I am writing it
and will write this Dharmagrantha and I am going to present it to you, at your
service.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;">Knowledge is essential. Even bhakti needs knowledge. But the view
that mere bhakti does not help you to acquire knowledge, my dear ones, is a
wrong belief. Knowledge is born out of bhakti. What if I do not know whom to
address my bhakti to? I need to know that don’t I? In today’s world, we have to
honour and respect knowledge. Bhagvan Shree Krishna Himself says in the Geeta,
Knowledge is a necessity. We have to acquire knowledge. There are various kinds
of knowledge. The knowledge of languages is considered supreme. Literature is
supreme among all kinds of knowledge. The study of languages is the worship of
Goddess Saraswati and of Goddess Parvati. That is why the Samarpan Pathak has
been carrying out this project of the study of various languages. Each one has
to learn a language apart from one’s mother tongue. An institute on those lines
has been established, Bharatiya Bhasha Sangam, where every Indian can learn any
language apart from his / her mother tongue. Learn one if you wish, or even two
languages. All the Indian languages, even Urdu, will be taught. Urdu,
incidentally, originated in India. The language was born as a result of the war
against the kingdom of Vijaynagar. The Arab army spoke Arabic or Persian and
this mixed with the languages spoken in southern areas, a mixture of Marathi
and Kannada. The Urdu thus formed was initially called Dakhkhani. It is the
language of the soldiers. It then became Urdu. Today it is the national
language of Pakistan. We are not aware of this episode in history…...when Urdu
became the national language of Pakistan, only 2% of the population of Pakistan
spoke Urdu. The rest spoke Punjabi, Sindhi and Baluchi. Urdu is an Indian language.
We need to study that too. So, Bharatiya Bhasha Sangam will show the way.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;">These, then, were the 12 projects. Right from the charkha, food
for cattle, everything is the work of God. We might say the mantra, Rushabha
Gautam, we might say Ramo Rajamani... we might donate food, quilts. Let whatever
you do be motivated by the purest of sentiments. We all have difficulties in
life. It is common Indian belief that these are the result of the sins of the
previous birth. But if we have to combat these difficulties, we have to
accumulate our punya; we have to turn to virtue. And that, you are not going to
achieve through irresponsible and foolish behaviour. The path of Truth, Love
and Joy is what we have to tread upon to earn our punya from Bhakti and Seva.
Only then can the sins be countered. Do you recall the story of the Sparrow?
Those who live around you cannot protect you, however strong they may be.
Netaji Subhashchandra Bose had clearly said, that those who lead India, those
who work for the welfare of this country need to evolve spiritually. A warrior
like Subhashchandra Bose tells us this! These are not the words of a person
with blind faith, but that of a warrior; a fighter on the battlefield has
uttered them. We have to worship God through seva. What is important here is
Group Upasana. Bapu, why are these centers formed for group Upasana? Our Christian
brothers, our Muslim brothers do this group Upasana. We can learn from them.
Group Upasana used to take place in India until the second century. We have to
revive them. We do not want to be one up on anyone. The vibrations born out of
this Upasana, the energy and the valour born out of this Upasana are beneficial
to the country and hence to us. When ten persons come together and pray, the
benefits reaped are ten times as much as when a person sits alone. Let’s look
at it like this - if one person sitting by himself derives a benefit of 10 gms
from his prayer, 10 persons, each praying say 10 gms., reap a benefit of 100
gms. each. Group Upasana does not divide the Punya; instead it multiplies and
that too in a non-geometrical progression. We do not have to indulge in foolish
practices. We can do our daily prayer, say our Ram Raksha, Ghorkashtodharan
Stotra, chant the Jai Jai Ram Krishna Hari mantra or even chant the one that we
just spoke about, Rushabha, Gautam, Dattaguru and without proving to be a bother
for others. We can even recite the stotra of a deity of our choice or chant the
mantra or sing bhajans of that deity. Come together, but not to fight. India
has given birth to so many stalwarts. Take the case of Japan, for instance - it was bombed and practically destroyed in
1945. India became independent just two years after that. Look where Japan has
reached and look at us! Yet, I say that the post independence period did see so
many great personalities. Japan had only a handful of such great personalities.
But the Japanese society soared and progressed. India gave birth to many great
personalities but, as a society, it did not develop. Why does this happen?
… it is primarily because we lack that feeling of belonging for one another.
We have to create this feeling through bhakti… through bhakti… bear that in
mind. Developing our bhakti towards God is very important. These are not tasks
meant for a social worker, or for political leaders either. These are tasks
meant for those who serve sincerely, fully aware of the existence of God. These
are tasks of someone who has a lot of love for you, your father, your brother
or your friend, if you like. We have to strengthen our religious and group
feelings. Your prayer may be sincere, you may be aware of the existence of God,
you may be doing your Jap or singing bhajans but what will really please God is
seva. So, we have to recall that every Indian dharma stresses that irrespective
of jap, the following 3 debts have to be repaid in order to deserve to go to heaven
or even be happy and peaceful during our lifetime - The debt of your mother,
your dharma and your motherland. We do not repay our own mother’s debt, leave
alone that of the motherland. That is why we are in want; we are unhappy. The
sages of olden times have clearly stated that when a child below 16 years
commits a crime or it is starved, the resultant sin is borne by the parents. If
the parents are no more, the father’s brother and his wife, the father’s sister
and the mother’s sister have to bear it.
If these relatives too are no more, then the sin is to be borne by the
village in which the child stays. These kinds of sins are being loaded on us.
The earthquake in Latur is not our responsibility; the earthquake at Kutch does
not concern us. When the Kutch earthquake happened. my volunteers said, “Bapu,
we have to go immediately, the very next day.” I refused and said, “Wait, hold
on for three months. Go only when the crowd of photographers disperses.“ I wish
to state proudly that yours is one of the mere 3-4 organizations that are still
serving, consistently, even today, even now. But this does not mean that you
are working there. You have to take responsibility. The sins that create
trouble for us are those that are committed by dependants. The age group below
16 years does not sin and the orphans and old people do not sin. The sins of
destitute aged also pass on to the society. This is a firmly established theory
in the Indian Religion. “We have not sinned Bapu.” Don ’t say that because not
doing your duty is also a sin and you are suffering due to that. You are
reaping the fruits of corruption. You just have to do the group Upasana. But
Bhakti has to motivate these. Seva alone can lead to ego. Bhakti usually does
not give rise to ego and all that one does, is the wish and will of God, it is
His grace. Why am I doing this seva? Not for this one bearing a six-foot body,
it is for our own selves. Remember, your fate is your life and we want to break
through it. Fate cannot be altered through spells or even offering goats to
God. We must be sure of that - 100%. What we need is genuine spirituality. We
may chant his name, pray, sing bhajans, worship idols and offer garlands,
anoint idols. It does not matter. We can do it as part of our bhakti……bhakti
mind you, and not pretence. The priest recites the mantra; neither he nor we
understand the meaning. He tells us to offer flowers and we offer leaves,
instead of water we pour the wrong thing, that’s how our pooja is conducted.
The lady performing the pooja is more worried about the taste of the food she
cooked and the husband who is doing the pooja is more bothered about how the
visitors are being taken care of. Besides if the visitor happens to be the
boss, he has to attend to him in a servile manner. These are not pooja. No God
accepts this pooja. These are nothing but a hoax. They have to be stopped. You
can do the pooja the way you like it. I do not object to anything. You can
colour any stone with sindoor, I will join my hands in prayer. I know if the
sentiment is genuine, God surely exists in it. What I object to is the
hypocrisy. What is wrong is turning to the name of God because you are
incapable of anything in life. Your youth is meant for education, your youth is
meant for your job or your business, your youth is meant for earning money,
your youth is meant for marriage and family life, for making a name and seeing
the world. But we reserve our old age for the very God who graces and blesses
us with all this – Why? This is shamelessness. Shed it and then call yourself a
bhakta. Bhakti has to come from within. What makes God are the ways of the
saints. “je kaa …”Remember what Sant Tukaram tells us. What the Vedas and the
Upanishads tell us. I have personally experienced the greatness of the Vedas.
“Brahma satya…”is not what should drag us down. The various schools of thought
that talk of Maya are more elusive than anything else. They are for great
personalities, not for ordinary ones like me. These empty words do not get us
anywhere. Since the 2nd century, all that has happened is the authoring of
works. The result is that India has been taken for granted. This has to end.
Let our bhakti be firm and sincere and let our seva be genuine and consistent.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;">Our organization has already set up The Academy of Disaster
Management. Till date about 1200 persons have been trained. These people are,
in turn, training others as theirs was the training needed to equip teachers
about natural disasters like earthquakes, floods as also man-made disasters
like bomb explosions, terrorist activities and restrictions imposed by foreign
countries. <b>I am establishing a Disaster
Management Force for this purpose. </b>In five years I want to prepare five
lakh young persons from all over the country. <b>Five lakh youngsters who will be ready to face any
disaster…..absolutely any</b>. Armed forces and the civilians must complement
each other. Besides these five lakh volunteers are not a one-time affair. The
number shall remain constant at any given point of time. Suppose the
twenty-five year old turns 50 after twenty-five years, the number of members
has to be maintained at 5 lakh. This voluntary group will rush to the help of
every Indian whenever needed and will also be ready to risk their lives. <b>They will also be instrumental in actually
averting disasters. They will also be ready to go to war if there is an attack
on the country which they will do under instructions and order from the
democratically elected Prime Minister in power at that time and the Chief of Army
of this democratically elected leader. They will not receive any orders from
Aniruddha then</b>. They will take orders from the democratically elected
leader at the top. He may belong to any party and any religion. I have nothing
to do with that. I will, however, see to it that 5 lakh youngsters from all
over the country are ready as part of the Disaster Management Force, prepared
to protect my Motherland and also ready to lay down their lives for the
purpose. This is not an army. 99% of the time, they will be managing disasters.
Only if there is an attack on the country, they will not hesitate to sacrifice
their lives in the war that will be fought under the orders of the Prime
Minister and the Chief of Army. They will not hesitate for a second… 100%… 5
lakh such youngsters. We have to do everything in geometric progression. I am
going to do it… 108%… with the name of Ram on their lips, the strength to
help in their hands and the will to fight with any available weapon, for the
country right until they have the last drop of blood in them. That is what
these 5 lakh youngsters will be. The Disaster Management Team is being formed.
5 lakh in the age group of 16-25 years. If the 25 year-old turn 26 in the
following year an equal number in that age group will replace them. So, the
first youngster to volunteer... as charity begins at home...is from my home.
My son Pouras is 16. He is the first member of this group. I am proud of the
fact that He is ready for it and I am happy about it. (Applause). I would appreciate
ten times more if these applauding hands are used for seva. I am not fond of
applause, mind you. While we are doing this work, we do not want to form any
extremist group. In order not to lose sight of this, numerous chiefs and group
chiefs will be appointed. Producing hooligans, while undertaking welfare work,
is something I resent. What grows will be exactly what I sow. I know very well
how to ensure that. If I sow rice and if someone sows harmful weeds I know
exactly how to uproot the undesirable weed. I sow rice if and only when I am
capable of uprooting the unwanted. The moment I took up this responsibility,
the complete protection machinery was made ready. There just cannot be any
undesirable element in it. The Disaster Management Force and the 5-lakh
youngsters are like the Pandavas of Shree Krishna. The number is quite small
considering the size of India. Announcements will be made from time to time
through centers. This is a job of discipline. </span></div>

From tomorrow i.e. 12th of December 2011 to 15th December, 2011 there is going to be a grand 4 day program, of <b><span style="color: blue;">Shree Kiraatrudra</span> </b>and<b> <span style="color: blue;">Shree Shivagangagauri Sthapana Sohala</span></b> (foundation ceremony), at <b>Shree Aniruddha Gurukshetram</b>. The program is named as<b> LAKSHABILVARCHAN YUKTA MAHARUDRA</b>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
The program shall start at around 7:30 am every morning and culminate
at around 8:00 pm every evening. On the first 3 days, there will be
Archan and <i>Abhishek</i> (consecration) on the RUDRA LINGA. On the
4th day, there will be LAKSHABILVARCHAN ie. 100,000 Bilvapatra (leaves
of Wood Apple Tree) archan on the RUDRA LINGA. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the first 2 days there will be <i>sthapana</i> (foundation) of the Shree Kiraatrudra and Shree Shivagangagauri at Shree Aniruddha Gurukshetram.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As explained at Shree Aniruddha Gurukshetram Shree Kiraatrudra represents the <i>Ashubhanashini </i>work (destroyer of evil) while Shree Parmatma represents the <i>Shubhankara </i>work
(propagator of constructive and auspicious work) of Shree Adimata
Chandik and Lord Dattatrey the holy connection between these two. <br />
<br />
As explained by <b style="color: blue;">Sadguru Param Poojya Aniruddha Bapu</b>
during His discourse on the holy day of Shree Datta Jayanti at Shree
Harigurugram, during this foundation ceremony Bapu would also be
establishing the Narmadeshwar Linga (Linga of Lord Shiv) which has been
automatically created in the riverbed of Narmada. Revealing more about
this Bapu said, that this is the one and only form of Linga in the all
the Universe<b style="color: red;">s</b>. It is so powerful that no one
can or should touch it. It is not possible to bear the power of this
Linga even if all the humans, <i>devgans, yakhas, apsaras, </i>etc from all the Universe<b style="color: red;">s</b> come together. To ensure that the Shraddhavans who would take <i>darshan </i>of
this L:inga at Shree Aniruddha Gurukshetram get the energy which can be
bearable to them, the Linga would be surronded with 3 1/2 kg of mercury
as mercury which is always the basic chemical in preparation of any
medicine in Ayurveda. <br />
(# Note: <span style="color: red;">Shraddhavans should avoid photographing this Linga</span>). <br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Shraddhavans would also get fantastic and unique opportunity of collecting <b style="color: blue;">Rudraganga Udi</b><span style="color: blue;"> </span>(which is the sacred ash from the pyre of Goddess Renuka) and <b style="color: blue;">Rudragauri Haridra</b> (this is the turmeric powder which <b style="color: blue;">Goddess Renuka</b> had applied on Her forehead popularly called as <i>malwat</i>). Both these holy things were given by Lord Dattatrey to Shree Kiraatrudra and then by Shree Kiraatrudra to Lord Parshuram. </div>

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">As many of Shraddhavans have been asking P. Samirdada for information regarding various aspects of the Sah-Upasana, today Param Poojya Aniruddha Bapu has allowed us permission to from our own groups and do the Sah-Upasana ourselves too. We are free to make groups within our centres or combine people from 2 or more centres meet at a specific place and do the Sah Upasana.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The rules and mantras for the Sah-upasana are as follow:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Shraddhavans may select any one of the following Upasanas to be done as Sah-Upasana.</div><ol style="text-align: justify;"><li>Shree Dattamangalachandika Stotra 108 times</li>
<li>Shree Aadimata Shubhankara Stavanam 108 times</li>
<li>Shree Aadimata Ashubhanashini Stavanam 108 times</li>
<li>Shree Sanatan Devi Sukta 54 times</li>
<li>Shree Dattabavani 52 times</li>
<li>Aarti of Aai Mahishasurmardini [as a jap] 54 times</li>
<li>Aarti of Anasuya mata [as a jap] 108 times</li>
</ol><div style="text-align: justify;">The Sah-Upasana shall commence at <b>8:00 am everyday and should be completed</b> <b>Latest by 8:00 pm</b>. In case someone finishes the required number of chanting of any mantra earlier that 8:00 pm he should continue to do the same chanting till 8:00 pm without counting after the required minimum number of chants are done.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This opportunity given to us by P.P. Bapu shall help us in contributing to cause of Vishwakalyaan. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<br />
Sai Niwas</b>, the place wherein the <b>Shree Sai Charita</b> was composed by <b>Hemadpant</b> by Grace of Sai Baba, is a place of real serenity and inspiration for one and all. The Sadguru Bhakti which was initiated by Hemadpant was further nurtured by <b>Meena Vahini</b>, his grand-daughter- in- law by her Devotion towards P.P. Bapu.<br />
<br />
Meena Vahini and <b>Sadya Pipa Govindsinh Dabholkar</b> had borne witness to the <b>revelation of Bapu at Sai Niwas [Pragatikaran] </b>and this incident has been stated in the Aniruddha Chalisa as <br />
“<b><i>Sai Niwas mein pargat gwala</i></b>......”<br />
<br />
Bapu has always shared a very special Connection with Sai Niwas and this has been experienced first hand by the Dabholkar family and a few of the Shraddhavans.<br />
<br />
Meena Vahini, through her unwavering faith and Bhakti on her Sadguru P.P Bapu, had covered quite a remarkable distance on the path of Righteousness. Also She was the living example of the fact that every person can travel on the path of Righteousness without shirking away from any of the Responsibilities of Family and Household. She states very clearly in her own abhanga<br />
<br />
“ Bapu Aala ani Jahle Nishchint.<br />
Sakal Vyavastha Tuchi Davili”<br />
<br />
She also states in another abhanga that<br />
“Sai ase Majhi Aai,<br />
Baap Majha Aniruddha”<br />
<br />
Such a wealth of Love, affection and Bhakti is stored in Sai Niwas. Many of us have never been able to know in details about Sai Niwas, Meena vahini and the Bond that Bapu shares with Sai Niwas.<br />
<br />
<strong>Thus a film compiling the experiences of a select few persons who had the good fortune to experience all these above mentioned things first hand has been created and the first few segments of this film shall be played at Shree Harigurugram tomorrow.</strong><br />
<br />
DVD of the this compilation was shown at Shree Harigurugram on 29th September 2011. These DVDs have been opened for sales for devotees to avail its benefit. Don't forget to watch this ultimate film and share your experience about it.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This year on the day of <b>Anant Chaturdashi </b>(Immersion Day of Ganpati Idols) was an acid test of security agencies in the wake of intelligence inputs and alerts from central security and intelligence agencies. Taking no chances the state home department had deployed almost 2 lakhs forces to man and patrol the crowd of more than 50 lakh people that congregate at various immersion spots across the city in the evening. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">To assist the already strained government forces <b>Aniruddha's Academy of Disaster Management</b> had deputed its strong, dedicated and well-trained force of about 4500 DMV’s (<b>Disaster Management Volunteers</b>). Moreover a well co-ordinated and seamlessly connected nerve centre in form of Control Cell was established at Head Office of AADM to co-ordinate and manage the entire activity. There were almost 20 DMV’s who were at this AADM Control Cell who were coordinating with various Location Coordinators at 58 Spots in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane and few more areas in the rest of Maharashtra. It was truly a professional managed and co-ordinated Control Cell. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This effort of AADM and its DMVs was acknowledged from all the quarter including government authorities, media, devotees, police authorities, etc. The supportive articles that have been published in the various newspapers has been attached in this post at the top. Kindly refer it for your perusal. </div></div></div>NikhilSinh Pednekarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14165153958264611191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826893098792480479.post-82967915350739722452011-08-21T23:26:00.001-07:002011-08-21T23:26:02.965-07:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #333333; font-size: 16pt;">Dear Mr. Prime minister</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #333333; font-size: 16pt;">I am a typical mouse from Mumbai. In the local train compartment which has capacity of 100 persons, I travel with 500 more mice. Mouse at least squeak but we don't even do that.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #333333; font-size: 16pt;">Today I heard your speech. In which you said 'NO BODY WOULD BE SPARED'. I would like to remind you that fourteen years has passed since serial bomb blast in Mumbai took place. Dawood was the main conspirator. Till today he is not caught. All our bollywood actors, our builders, our Guthka king meets him but your Government can not catch him. Reason is simple; all your ministers are hand in glove with him. If any attempt is made to catch him everybody will be exposed. Your statement 'NOBODY WOULD BE SPARED' is nothing but a cruel joke on this unfortunate people of India.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #333333; font-size: 16pt;">Enough is enough. As such after seeing terrorist attack carried out by about a dozen young boys I realize that if same thing continues days are not away when terrorist will attack by air, destroy our nuclear reactor and there will be one more Hiroshima .</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #333333; font-size: 16pt;">We the people are left with only one mantra. Womb to Bomb to Tomb. You promised Mumbaikar Shanghai what you have given us is Jalianwala Baug.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #333333; font-size: 16pt;">Today only your home minister resigned. What took you so long to kick out this joker? Only reason was that he was loyal to Gandhi family. Loyalty to Gandhi family is more important than blood of innocent people, isn't it?</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #333333; font-size: 16pt;">I am born and bought up in Mumbai for last fifty eight years. Believe me corruption in Maharashtra is worse than that in Bihar . Look at all the politician, Sharad Pawar, Chagan Bhujbal, Narayan Rane, Bal Thackray , Gopinath Munde, Raj Thackray, Vilasrao Deshmukh all are rolling in money. Vilasrao Deshmukh is one of the worst Chief minister I have seen. His only business is to increase the FSI every other day, make money and send it to Delhi so Congress can fight next election. Now the clown has found new way and will increase FSI for fisherman so they can build concrete house right on sea shore. Next time terrorist can comfortably live in those house , enjoy the beauty of sea and then attack the Mumbai at their will.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #333333; font-size: 16pt;">Recently I had to purchase house in Mumbai. I met about two dozen builders. Everybody wanted about 30% in black. A common person like me knows this and with all your intelligent agency & CBI you and your finance minister are not aware of it.. Where all the black money goes? To the underworld isn't it? Our politicians take help of these goondas to vacate people by force. I myself was victim of it. If you have time please come to me, I will tell you everything.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #333333; font-size: 16pt;">If this has been land of fools, idiots then I would not have ever cared to write you this letter. Just see the tragedy, on one side we are reaching moon, people are so intelligent and on other side you politician has converted nectar into deadly poison. I am everything Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Schedule caste, OBC, Muslim OBC, Christian Schedule caste, Creamy Schedule caste only what I am not is INDIAN. You politician have raped every part of mother India by your policy of divide and rule.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #333333; font-size: 16pt;">Take example of former president Abdul Kalam. Such a intelligent person, such a fine human being. You politician didn't even spare him. Your party along with opposition joined the hands, because politician feels they are supreme and there is no place for good person.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #333333; font-size: 16pt;">Dear Mr Prime minister you are one of the most intelligent person, most learned person. Just wake up, be a real SARDAR. First and foremost expose all selfish politician. Ask Swiss bank to give name of all Indian account holder. Give reins of CBI to independent agency. Let them find wolf among us.. There will be political upheaval but that will better than dance of death which we are witnessing every day. Just give us ambient where we can work honestly and without fear. Let there be rule of law. Everything else will be taken care of.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #333333; font-size: 16pt;">Choice is yours Mr. Prime Minister.

I am sure all readers would have read earlier posts on <b style="color: red;">Shree Varada Chandika Prasannotsav</b>. I am writing this post after the entire <b>Utsav is ACCOMPLISHED</b>. The purpose of calling it accomplished is this is how <b style="color: red;">Param Poojya Sadguru Aniruddha Bapu</b> 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 <b>9 principals</b> of Bapu. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
In my today's post I would like to highlight one particular very important event from the Utsav and that is of the <b><span style="color: red;">Descent of Ganges for Eternity</span></b>. On the 3rd day of the Utsav i.e. on 10th May 2011 Sadguru Bapu performed the ceremony along with <b style="color: red;">Param Poojya Nandai</b> in which unending waters of Ganges, Mandakini and Alaknanda was made available to all the Shraddhavans. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">While acknowledging the claim of the scientists that Ganges would go dry in next 40-60 years, by making Ganges descend for eternity at <b>Shree Harigurugram</b> 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. <br />
<br />
While describing Ganges Bapu said that Ganges continuously recites 'गं' <i>beej</i>. She is<i> <b>Tripada Gamini</b></i>. This <i>Tripada Gamini </i>would She is eternal knowledge. <span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps" title="Click for alternate translations">Physical (<i>bhautik</i>), </span></span><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps" title="Click for alternate translations"><i>Pranmay</i> and </span></span><i><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps" title="Click for alternate translations">Manomay </span></span></i><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps" title="Click for alternate translations">bodies of humans would be refined by Her. She is <i><b>Gyanganga</b> </i>(River of Knowledge) and originates and lotus feet of Lord Vishnu. Meaning of </span></span><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps" title="Click for alternate translations"><i>Gyanganga </i></span></span><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps" title="Click for alternate translations">is "<b>Analysis of Past, Present and Future</b>". She needs support of Lord Shiva to descend on this earth (<i>Shivam Dynanopadesham</i>). </span></span><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps" title="Click for alternate translations">In Physical (<i>bhautik</i>) form She is Bhagirathi, in </span></span><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps" title="Click for alternate translations"><i>Pranmay</i> form She is Alaknanda and in </span></span><i><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps" title="Click for alternate translations">Manomay</span></span></i> form Mandakini.<br />
<br />
At the start Bapu made all recite <b>Ganganashtak </b>which is authored of sage Valmiki. <br />
<br />
Then further prayers were offered to <b>49</b> <b>Marutgans </b>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. <br />
<br />
Further Bapu again stressed on the <b>importance of taking sunlight</b> 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 (<i>amrut</i>) and and drinking it is like consecrating (<i>abhishek</i>) oneself which excites Godly elements. <br />
<br />
Mahishasurmardini Mata has <b>8</b> hands. Incidentally Bapu listed <b>8</b> 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. <br />
<br />
Further on the 5th day i.e. 12th May Bapu again along with Nandai established Shree <b>Shiv Ganga-Gauri</b>. <br />
<br />
The whole Utsav was an eternal bliss. To tell you something more about Utsav taking part in <b>Shree Raktadantika pujan</b> was a lifetime experience. Carrying <b>Avdhoot Kumbh </b>on head was another unforgettable experience. And offcourse getting to witness the <b>Sahastra Chandi Yagnya </b>which is hard for even an emperor to perform was another of it. <br />
<br />

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. <strong>7th of May</strong> will mark the beginning of this Unique and Heavenly Utsav. Yes on the <strong>7th of May</strong> 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 <strong>7th May.</strong><br />
<br />
<ol><li>The first event to unfold that day will be the <strong>MANDAP POOJANAM [मंडपपूजनम],</strong> the entire area of Shree HariGuruGram will be cleansed and prepared for the advent of Mothi Aai.</li>
</ol><br />
Thereafter the following events shall occur.<br />
<br />

It takes me a pleasure to bring to notice of all the readers that <b>Aniruddha's Academy of Disaster Management </b>has recently completed training of close to <b style="color: red;">500 DMVs (Disaster Management Volunteers) </b>from its various local branch centres (Upasana Centre). I felt extremely privileged to be selected for this training. All the DMVs have been t<b>horoughly trained both theoretically and practically</b> during the practice sessions. The entire programme was supported by Cinemax India Ltd. who are pioneers as cinema exhibitors in India, which provided its facilities to DMVs to be trained practically. The training programme was overseen by <b>Respected Swapnilsinh Dattopadhye</b> and conducted by Shri. Pramodsinh Angre, an ex-serviceman who has worked for Indian Navy in Submarine Fire Safety Cadre. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br />
</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Following are the points that were covered in the theoretical training session. </b>It will help you with all the details all wanted to know about Fire Extinguishers and Fire Fighting<b>:</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">There are 7 basic points to be learnt in fire fighting:<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">1) Lets first see the </span><b style="color: #0b5394;">Causes of Fire</b><span style="color: #0b5394;">:</span><br />
Fire is mainly caused due to three factors <br />
<br />
i) <b>Negligence</b> <br />
ii) <b>Carelessness</b> <br />
iii)<b> Sabotage</b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">2) Next lets see </span><b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Basic Chemistry of Fire</span></b>In this section we will see what it takes for fire to ignite, sustain and rage. Fire depends on 3 factors for it ignite, sustain and rage <br />
<br />
i) <b>Buring Material </b>OR<b> Fuel </b><br />
ii) <b>Oxygen </b>(Air) <br />
iii) <b>Heat </b>(<b>Temperature above 59°C</b>)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdbu7PYkVKYLcsvvW72JcnM1dTxSIZ5NADGiS4nCelW-1Zn_O7GRaqz1xMRQBbSX_Dl6i-Vl1iK44S7ajbhhF2Y6u85U9OH4I89YobLY8U13L6K6WFsNogk6ZEOpd1ZSaJA664w2aRPW9o/s1600/Fire_triangle.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdbu7PYkVKYLcsvvW72JcnM1dTxSIZ5NADGiS4nCelW-1Zn_O7GRaqz1xMRQBbSX_Dl6i-Vl1iK44S7ajbhhF2Y6u85U9OH4I89YobLY8U13L6K6WFsNogk6ZEOpd1ZSaJA664w2aRPW9o/s1600/Fire_triangle.png" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">These three factors are feature in fire triangle. If any side of this equilateral triangle in broken and taken away i.e. if we take away anyone of these factors from fire then it will not sustain and hence won't rage.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">3) </span><b style="color: #0b5394;">Classes of Fire</b><br />
Fire is classified in 5 categories <br />
<b><br />
i) </b><b>Class 'A': Solid Fire</b><br />
This fire results from burning of any solid object like furniture, paper, upholstery, wood, etc. <br />
<b><br />
ii) </b><b>Class 'B': Liquid Fire</b><br />
This fire results from burning of liquids like oil, turpentine, spirit, oil paint, alcohol, petrol, diesel, kerosene, etc.<br />
<br />
<b>iii) Class 'C': Gas Fire</b><br />
This fire is sub-divided in further in 2 major sub-categories <br />
a) <b>LPG </b>(Liquefied Petroleum Gas) <b>Fire </b><br />
b) <b>CNG </b>(Compressed Natural Gas) <b>Fire </b><br />
<br />
a) <b>LPG Fire</b><br />
The fire which erupts because of LPG generally referred as Cooking Gas used in most of the kitchens these days. LPG has Propane (Sulphur content) and Butane (Lead content) added to composition that makes CNG and hence LPG is more dangerous that CNG. Also addition of propane and butane makes LPG gas heavier and hence unlike CNG which escapes through air LPG stay near ground level.<br />
<br />
LPG cylinders blast only when empty or partially filled as it gives room for pressure to increase (which may be because of heat).<br />
<br />
<u><b>Precautions to be Taken:</b></u><br />
i) In case regulator on top of the cylinder catches fire then we should put water on cylinder not the regulator as putting water on cylinder would control the temperature from rising. This way the fire would gradually stop when the burning material is exhausted without the spreading of fire.<br />
<br />
ii) We should put thick wet cloth on regulatory so that fire will be suffocated of oxygen and this will also keep temperature under control.<br />
<br />
iii) We should avoid crowding of things around the cylinder in general where we store our cylinder. <br />
<br />
iv) We should also take care that that we are not storing any items above our gas stove / cooking range. This care is to be taken as this will avoid our clothes (especially loose and long clothes like <i>chunnis </i>and <i>dupattas</i>) from catching fire unknowingly.<br />
<br />
v) We should avoid serving food while it is on stove / cooking range. This care is to be taken as while serving the food may fall on on the rubber pipes that carry cooking gas from cylinder to stove / cooking range. The dropped food attracts rats and other rodents which can damage these pipes by their nibbling which may result in gas leak and ultimately fire. <br />
<br />
vi) Daily we should turn-off regulator of the gas before going to sleep so as to avoid accidental gas leakage. <br />
<br />
vii) We should strictly avoid any kind of usage of electric appliances if we smell LPG gas leak as the spark that is generated everytime we switch-on electric appliances is enough to cause a huge explosion which can rip apart atleast 4 - 5 flats on your floor along with our own house.<br />
<br />
viii) We should open doors, windows and curtains of our house to allow the gas to escape easily.<br />
<br />
ix) We should strictly avoid opening of refrigerators in our houses.<br />
<br />
x) We should immediately turn-off Electrical Mains of our house. <br />
<br />
xi) We should also inform our neighbours about the gas leak immediately so that the above precautions can also be taken by them.<br />
<br />
<b>v) Class 'D': Metallic OR Industrial Fire</b><br />
This fire results from burning of components used in industries like potassium, magnesium, zinc, sodium, etc.<br />
<br />
<b>v) Class 'E': Electric Fire</b><br />
This fire results from electrical short-circuits. <br />
<br />
<u><b>Precautions to be Taken:</b></u><br />
i) Always use a 3 plug pin as this pin has earthing in it.<br />
<br />
ii) Insulation tapes which are used in sealing the electrical wires have a life of only 6 months which may be maximum used for 9 months. Hence we should take care to replace these tapes regularly as and when then expiry date in reached. <br />
<br />
iii) We should use <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_leakage_circuit_breaker">Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker</a>. (For more details about this devices refer this link: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_leakage_circuit_breaker">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_leakage_circuit_breaker</a> OR <a href="http://www.ehow.com/how-does_5017259_earth-leakage-circuit-breakers-work.html">http://www.ehow.com/how-does_5017259_earth-leakage-circuit-breakers-work.html</a><br />
<br />
iv) We can also use <a href="http://electrical.about.com/od/panelsdistribution/a/mainbreakers.htm">Main Circuit Breaker</a> (For more details about this devices refer this link:: <a href="http://electrical.about.com/od/panelsdistribution/a/mainbreakers.htm">http://electrical.about.com/od/panelsdistribution/a/mainbreakers.htm</a>) in place of Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker but Main Circuit Breaker is expensive than arth Leakage Circuit Breaker and hence not preferred. Though technically it is more safer.<br />
<br />
v) We should avoid using all the heavy appliances in our house like washing machines, geysers, heaters, air-conditioners, etc. together so as to avoid over loading.</div>The fact that most of the people are unaware about is that victims that get killed in fire incidences are not because of fire directly but because of suffocation arising out of Carbon Monoxide emission from burning material.<br />

<br />
We should take utmost care that a particular class fire extinguisher is used only for the corresponding class of fire. Inter (wrong) usage of the extinguisher may result in major accident which in few cases can be fatal or cause disability. <br />
<br />
The type of fire extinguisher is always mentioned on the container. <br />
</b><b>i) </b><b>Class 'A' </b><b style="color: black;">Fire Extinguishers</b><b>: For Solid Fire</b><br />

</b><br />
These are used in cases of solid fire (resulting from burning of any solid object like furniture, paper, upholstery, wood, etc.)<br />
<br />
The extinguisher cylinder contains 9 litres of water which is sprayed on fire with pressure-driven force. It has a <span class="chemf" style="white-space: nowrap;">CO<sub>2</sub></span> or Carbon Dioxide cartridge at the mouth of the cylinder to build pressure for spraying of water with force.<br />
<br />
We should change water in this cylinder every 3 months which prevents the water from corroding. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">We should not keep this (Class A Fire Extinguisher) near electric boards and in kitchens as under panic it may be used in cases of fire which may result in accident because of wrong use. </span><span style="color: black;">These are generally used stores and warehouses. </span><br />
<br />
This extinguisher cannot be reused as it exhausts all the contents in it once it is opened at one go. <b>ii) </b><b>Class 'BC' </b><b style="color: black;">Fire Extinguishers</b><b>: For Solid, Liquid, Metallic and Electric Fire</b><br />

</b><br />
These are called Dry Chemical Powder (DCP) Fire Extinguishers. <br />
<br />
These are used in cases of liquid and gas. This fire results from burning of liquids like oil, turpentine, spirit, oil paint, alcohol, petrol, diesel, kerosene, etc. or Gas fires. It can also be used in cases of solid fires but only in case the burning object is heavy in nature e.g. furniture (It should not be used on in case the burning material is light weighted like paper, cloth etc).<br />
<br />
This <span style="color: black;">fire extinguisher is composed of Potassium Bicarbonate or</span> Sodium Phosphate. <br />
<br />
The powder which is sprayed through this extinguisher has leaves and sticky trail behind which is not washable and hence is generally not used on electrical appliances as it causes renders the appliances useless. It has a <span class="chemf" style="white-space: nowrap;">CO<sub>2</sub></span> or Carbon Dioxide cartridge at the mouth of the cylinder to build pressure for spraying of powder with force.<br />
<br />
This extinguisher can be reused as it doesn't exhaust all the contents in it once it is opened i.e its flow can be stopped once the fire is doused. <br />
<br />
We should avoid using DCP extinguisher at place where we store food items or in kitchen as t may lead to food wastage. In these situations <span class="chemf" style="white-space: nowrap;">CO<sub>2 </sub></span>extinguisher is preferred.<br />
<br />
<b>iii) </b><b>Class 'ABC' </b><b style="color: black;">Fire Extinguishers</b><b>:</b><b> For Solid, Liquid and Gas Fire<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">It is composed of Mono-Ammonium Phosphate or Map 90. It has a pressure gauge at the very top of the cylinder which should be periodically calibrated and its pressure pointer should always be seen in the green range of the meter. As like the once we have seen earlier this extinguisher contains Pressure Gauge rather than cartridge for building pressure to spray with force. The pressure indicated by the pressure gauge would be proportional to the powder contained in the extinguisher. <br />
<br />
This extinguisher can be reused as it doesn't exhaust all the contents in it once it is opened i.e its flow can be stopped once the fire is doused. <br />
<br />
We should always tie a handkerchief on our mouth while using this extinguishers as it may cause throat irritation or in few cases choking.<br />

This fire extinguisher is also called Clean Agent. It can be used on any type of fire. It also as very vey high shelf life period i.e. it needs refilling in only once in 5 years. But the major problem about this fire extinguisher is its cost. a 2 kgs extinguisher costs around INR 15, 000/- which is very high and hence this extinguisher is seldom used. </div><br />

<b><span style="color: #0b5394;"></span></b><span style="color: black;">A smoke detector is a device that detects smoke, typically as an indicator of fire. Commercial, industrial, and mass residential devices issue a signal to a fire alarm system, while household detectors, known as smoke alarms, generally issue a local audible and/or visual alarm from the detector itself. </span>To know more about <span style="color: black;"> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke_detector">smoke detectors</a> </span>please click on the following link: (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke_detector">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke_detector</a>). <br />
<br />
Smoke detectors run on supply of 24 volts and are connected to central control panel. When they detect any fumes or smoke they raise a loud alarm. Hence to silence them there is a silent switch. They detect any fumes or smoke in the radius of 3 meters. A functional smoke detector always continuously blinks.<br />

The thermal mass and conductivity of the element regulate the rate flow of heat into the element. All heat detectors have this thermal lag. Heat detectors have two main classifications of operation, "rate-of-rise" and "fixed temperature."

<div style="color: black;"><br />
Evacuation is the final and the most important part of fire fighting. It involves relocating people who are stuck because of fire and are already affected or may get affect in near future. <br />
<br />
The most important thing that we have to keep in mind is to avoid using lift when we are evacuating ourselves or others because when the fire brigade personnel arrive they first disconnect the mains and hence there is a grave danger of we getting trapped in lift. But we can use escalators, The evacuation should be carried out taking the charting of escape routes of any place into consideration. As far as possible we should alaways prefer crawling in cases of accumulation of condensed smoke. <br />
<br />
<b>But the single most important aspect of evacuation is to assure people that you are with them till the end and that all would be out of this problem, safely i.e. installing confidence in the masses and assuring them of your help and involvement till the end.</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrXDJ2bX3k14AIr6Iez_64ZFimr00gv4TEZap4FMnlIYdtRb4tuYc9TAB2ziLy_g1q0QAindDbvome95LcL6j3W5kC2IQPx5QFoLThMdrRjsH9MTEquPEKJh31XoTfF9ejq74s7qDFgjQ6/s1600/DMVs+on+Fire+Hose.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />

A <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_hose">fire hose</a> is a high-pressure hose used to carry water or other fire retardant (such as foam) to a fire to extinguish it. Outdoors, it is attached either to a fire engine or a fire hydrant. Indoors, it can be permanently attached to a building's standpipe or plumbing system. It was invented by Hero of Alexandria in the basis of Ctesibius' double action piston pump.

Param Pujya Sadguru cleared the following doubts of Bhaktas regarding Shri Mangalchandika Prapatti on<br />
Thursday, 6/01/2011 :-<br />
A] Upasna will not take place on Saturday, 15th January, 2011 due to Shri Mangalchandika Prapatti.<br />
B] While performing Shri Mangalchandika Prapatti at Upasana Center-<br />
1. Volunters may guide women devotees while doing the prapatti.<br />
2. Chappal Stand may be made availabe , but only men volunters should do Seva at Chappal Stand.<br />
3. Prapatti can be done at Upasana Center but the place should not be enclosed from all sides(e.g<br />
Hall).<br />
4. Prapatti may be done in a place which is open from all the sides but has a roof at the top.<br />
5. If required police permission can be taken if number of devotees are large.<br />
6. Men may be present but they should not participate in the Poojan.<br />
7. Non- Bapu Bhakta women, who wish to participate in the prapatti, may do so.<br />
8. Photos of Param Poojya Bapu, Nandai and Suchitdada can be placed behind the set up of<br />
Poojan.<br />
9. Banana Leaves, Flower Garlands may be used during the Prapatti. The Poojan arrangement may<br />
also be decorated.<br />
10. If the number of women performing Prapatti is large, in that case more than one Poojan<br />
arrangement may be done.<br />
11. During the Poojan, lighting a lamp, Dhoop, essence stick is permitted.<br />
12. Parat ( Big plate ) or Tamhan can be of any metal.<br />
13. Either Kalash or Kalsi can be used for poojan but use of Kalsi is recommended.<br />
14. Ramorajamani / DhyanMantra or Bapu’s Jap can be taken before Poojan.<br />
15. Fasting is not mandatory.<br />
16. Women should wash their hair during bath in the morning. Office going women need not take a<br />
bath again in the evening.<br />
17. Every woman should have a separate ‘Tabak’ and ’Prapatti Poojan Draayva’ (material required<br />
for Prapatti Pooja). Even if there are many women from the same house, each woman should<br />
have separate ‘Tabak’ and ’Prapatti Pooja Draayva’.<br />
18. Pieces of drumstick and bottle gourd (Lauki) instead of whole bottle gourd can be used.<br />
19. While saying ‘Gurumantra’, a minimum of nine ’Pradakshinas’ should be made. Those women<br />
who are either physically or medically unfit and pregnant ladies may do just one pradakshina<br />
around themselves while the Gurumantra is being chanted.<br />
20. Donations (Dakshina) may be offered after completion of Prapatti if so desired. Donations<br />
should be deposited in the Sanstha and receipt should be taken.<br />
21. Onion, garlic may be used in the ‘Masala’ for making ‘Sambar’ at home.<br />
22. Women should not eat curd, it should be given to the men in the family.<br />
23. Every woman performing Prapatti should eat at least some portion of the sugarcane as the<br />
Prasad on that day itself and should distribute it as Prasad only to women. Sugarcane should<br />
not be given to men. Banana can be given as Prasad to outside women who come for Darshan.<br />
24. Other women can be called for Darshan. If Haldi-Kumkum is to be given to these women, it<br />
should be brought separately from home. Haldi-Kumkum from the Poojan should not be used.<br />
25. Women may not necessarily wear Uparna while doing Prapatti.<br />
26. Women can wear saree of any colour but it should not be entirely black, the saree ‘Pallu’ or<br />
border should be of different colour. If the saree is completely black, a dot of Gandha or Bindi<br />
should be applied on it. Punjabi dress can also be worn.<br />

Women shall offer the Shree Mangal Chandika Prapatti on the day of Sankranti i.e.<br />
14th or 15th January (this year Sankranti is on 15th January, Saturday). Offering the<br />
Prapatti on this day makes out of every woman, the protective soldier of her family<br />
on one hand and the bodyguard of each of her family members on the other.<br />
Irrespective of her being a mother, a sister or a wife, she definitely becomes the<br />
protector of the family.<br />
• The Prapatti is to be done on this day of Sankranti because on this day Mata<br />
Mahishasurmardini first set HER Feet on earth, in the Kataraaj ashram of<br />
Rishi Kardam and Devahuti, to destroy the demon Mahishasur.<br />
• Women shall offer the Prapatti on the day of Sankranti after sunset in any<br />
open place, outdoors, for example, on the beach, banks of a river, in the<br />
verandah, in the balcony, or even in the open space between two chawls.<br />
• Any woman above the age of 16 can offer the Prapatti.<br />
• Women can most definitely offer the Prapatti even during menstrual<br />
cycle. All they need to do is to place udi on the tongue and on the navel<br />
before beginning the Prapatti.<br />
• The Prapatti has to be offered only after a bath.<br />
• The Prapatti needs to be offered as a group. The more the women doing it<br />
together, the better it is.<br />
• Though it is not compulsory to offer the Prapatti every consecutive year, to<br />
ensure the well being and welfare of your family, you ought to do it every year.<br />

• Place all the material required for the Poojan in the Poojan thali and hold in<br />
hand while singing the Aarti- “Maate Gayatri Sinhaarudha Bhagavati....Ude<br />
Ude Ude.....”<br />
• The oldest lady in the group will actually perform the Aarti while the rest singit.<br />
• Holding the Poojan thali in hand, go round the symbolic representation of the<br />
Chandika i.e. around the site of Katraaj Ashram nine times reciting aloud the<br />
Gurukshetram Mantra.<br />
<br />
• Perform “Drushta”( nazar utaarna) with Abhichaarnashak Purchundi and pray<br />
to Trivikrama saying – “ My Dear Paramatma, with the help of your Mother<br />
Chandika, please avert and destroy evil thoughts , intentions or any evil power<br />
that may come in my family’s way and please Bless”.<br />
• Offer this Abhichaarnashak Purchundi in the sacred fire by lighting camphor<br />
(karpur) and little twigs in a large tray or a pit.<br />
• After completing the Poojan, recite the mantra- Om Aeem Hreem Kleem<br />
Chamundayaee Vichche- nine times and offer akshata at the feet of Chandika<br />
and fragrant flowers to Trivikrama.<br />

for the Poojan can apply.<br />
• Use the bananas to make a common Prasad to be eaten on the spot.<br />

• If men are not available at home, offer the curd at the root of any tree.<br />
• The sugarcane is to be taken home and eaten by all the women at home.<br />
(Not necessarily on the same day)<br />
• Use the rest of the Poojan material (except the fragrant flowers, bananas,<br />
curds and sugarcane) to make sambar, using whatever spices and masala<br />
deemed fit, to be eaten with rice or chapatti by all at home. Make sure to use<br />
Curry leaves for enhancing the taste as well as for keeping in mind their<br />
health benefits.<br />
