SUNDERSATH PLAYED IN PARAMDHAM (PARNA JI) WITH SHRI JI
The journeys performed by Mahamati Shri Prannath ji from Navtanpuri
(Jamnagar) to various places including Maha Mangal Puri (Surat) where He was
adored by Sundersath as ‘Aksharaateet’, with Smt. Tej Kunwar, His wife –Shri
Bai Ju Raj as Shri Shyama ji (the Better Half of Shri Raj ji –the ‘Lord
Supreme) ended at the sacred pilgrims’ place known as Shri 5 Padmavatipuri
(Panna, M, P.), which He made His Halt for ever, have been narrated in Shri
Beetak.
CHAPTER 62 – ASHTA PAHAR
MANGLACHARAN.
Swami Shri Laldas ji described in
this chapter the importance of Shri 5 Padmavatipuri Parna ji – Panna) where the
end of the night of the drama (Lailtulqadari) would happen on enlightenment
(Jaagni) of Brahmashristies –who associated their ‘Lord-Mahamati Shri Prannath
ji and accompanied Him throughout their lives till the long journey stopped at
Panna. Shri Laldas ji started the chapter –
“First, the Lord Supreme, who
always plays the ‘Love’ with Brahmashristies in Paramdham, created the desire
in the consciousness of Brahmashristies to watch the drama of the illusion of
‘Maya’. A long discussion was held between Shri Raj and the group of the Divine
Souls in ‘Mool-Milava’ – Paramdham in respect of the ‘Love’, prevailing in
Paramdham. This all happened, as an ‘immense cause’ (Maha Kaaran) to create
desire in the Divine Souls as per the inspiration of the Supreme Lord.
The Supreme Lord caused curiosity
in the hearts of Brahmashristies to watch the drama of ‘Maya’, although the
‘Supreme Lord’ said ‘No’ three times to prevent them from watching the drama
and experiencing ‘sorrows’. The Brahmashristies had experienced ‘nothing’
except ‘Love & Ecstasy’ in Paramdham (their Super Eternal Abode); hence the
word ‘sorrow’ was new and attractive. They persisted and emphasized to
experience the same by watching the drama of the ‘Maya’, despite Shri Raj ji
disapproved their demand thrice. Ultimately, the Lord fulfilled the ambition of
His beloved ‘Divine Souls’.
The Lord Supreme created the
Universes, thrice. First was the creation of ‘Brij’, the second –the Raas and
the third one is the ‘present’ named as ‘Jaagni’. The Supreme Lord loves
Brahmashristies as HIS ‘Beloved Consorts’; hence HE intended to let
Brahmashristies learn about the experiences of the three creations of the
universes, which Brahmashristies should feel during the course of their
involvement in the illusions:
In Brij they played with Lord
without recognizing HIM, Raas was played by the Divine Souls with Shri Krishna
having known Him to be the ‘Lord’ of their Souls, but in the state of the drowsiness.
This third creation of the
universe is meant to play with the ‘Lord’ (Mahamati Shri Prannath ji) ‘Jaagni
Raas’ duly enlightened, which they experienced too while they stayed at Parna
ji (Panna) with Shri Raj ji (Shri ji) for eleven years from Vikram Samvat 1740
to 1751 (1684 to 1695 A D).
The Almighty (Shri Raj ji) then
decided that in the fourteen worlds (planes) of the Universe, there exists ‘Jumbo
Deep’ –Asia and in which the most important place is Bharat (India ).
In Bharat too, Bundelkhand (the
regime of Maharaja Chhatrashal) is special, where according to Quran the Momin
–Brahmashristies got awakened after the end of the night of ‘Lail-tul-qadra’
and got up at the dawn of the next day –the Ultimate Day of Justice – Qayamat
(Jaagni).
In Bundelkhand, Parna (Panna) is
the capital of the kingdom
of Maharaja Chhatrashal
–‘Shakundal’. Shri Laldas ji said, “No body in the world would be equal to be
comparable with Maharaja Chhatrashal, the chief of the Sundersath, who stayed
with Shri ji at Panna ji.” He added,
“Also no other place in the world would stand comparable to Parna ji (Panna),
where Shri Raj ji made His Eternal Abode.”
“There lived Brahmashristies duly
assembled and Mahamati Shri Prannath ji charged with the Power of Shri Raj ji
(Haqi appearance of the ‘Lord’) loved all the Divine Souls.”
Shri Laldas ji said, “The
description of the Glory of Shri Raj ji (Shri ji) –Imam Menhdi –
‘Vijayabhinandan Buddha Nishkalank’ is not possible to be pronounced by words:
Aksharaateet –Lord – Shri ji has glory of Paramdham, Super Eternal Abode. How
it is possible to find suitable words to speak about Him? (This is never
possible in the dreamy world.)
“Paramdham is like an unlimited
ocean of ecstasy which is experienced by Brahmashristies, eternally, who since
descended from Paramdham, by consciousness, on the earth and stayed here at
Panna with their worldly physiques, experienced ecstasy as if they were in
Paramdham –by performing services to please their ‘Lord’- Mahamati Shri
Prannath ji.”
Shri Laldas ji further said, “The
everlasting ecstasy felt by the Brahmashristies –Sundersath while performing
the lovely service for a moment of their ‘Lord’ is so enormous that it cannot
be pronounced in any language. Mohammed Paigambar already mentioned in Quran,
one thousand and one hundred years ago (reckoned from the time of Mohammed
Paigambar to the time of Mahamati Shri Prannath ji), about this event: that the
enlightened Divine Souls of Paramdham would enjoy the ecstasy of Arsh-Azeem
(Paramdham) while performing the lovely services to please their ‘Lord’ (Shri
ji). This event is described as ‘Jaagni Raas’.”
Shri Laldas ji continued, “No
language is appropriate to be spoken for the praise of the Brahmashristies; but
in order to give an understanding to the common people, the Lord Supreme has
ordered me to describe the same. The praiseworthy glory as well as their sacred
service is not comparable. It is great.
“The associates accompanied Shri
ji duly renounced the worldly affairs, where they met Him. Thence they arrived
at Panna to continue their hearty services. Their sacrifice and hearty
inclination to service would never be possible to be pronounced in this dreamy
world. The same would be talked about in Paramdham.
“But I have been ordered by Shri
Raj ji (the Lord Supreme) to speak about the greatness and the importance of
the pleasing services performed by Sundersath, while any body else is not
capable to do any thing without HIS Divine Order. The Brahmashristies have been
sitting in ‘Mool-Milava’ of Paramdham and they must remember the same while
they are in this world.
“The Brahmashristies while in
deep-meditation feel their conscious presence in ‘Mool-Milava (Paramdham) and
they experience the joy of Paramdham in their hearts. Their greatness and the
importance are worth describable very well in this world as well as in
Paramdham. The Divine Souls also experience that the ‘Lord’ fulfilled their
desires.
According to the prophecy, after
the lapse of one thousand and ninety years of Hizari Era, in Vikram Samvat
1735, Vijayabhinandan Era commenced.
Vijayabhinandan Era commenced in
Vikram Samvat 1735 at the occasion of Kumbh Fair at Haridwar. After five years,
in Vijayabhinandan Era 5, Shri arrived at Parna ji along with Sundersath, the
associates. The Divine Soul of Sadguru Shri Devchandra ji – Shri Shyama ji had
also His abode in the heart of Shri ji along with the Soul of Mohammed
Paigambar, who had the commanding power of the ‘Lord’. Then Shri ji disclosed
that He was the ‘Advent of Imam Menhdi’ and He called upon all for the
group-enlightenment –Qayamat (Jaagni). During this course, Maharaja Shri
Chhatrashal, (‘Shakundal’) also joined the association of Sundersath, duly
enlightened.
The different descriptions in
respect of three personalities were purposeful for their respective motto.
Mohammed Sahib had commanding power of the ‘Lord’; Mahamati Shri Prannath ji
had Zeal-Power, while Shri Devchandra ji was having the Divine Soul of the Better
Half of the ‘Lord Supreme’. The time of the departure of these three
personalities from the world to reach Paramdham was one and the same.
These three personalities reached
together Paramdham to see the ‘Lord’ in person. They heard ninety thousand sacred
words of the Lord and made them explicit to be understood by the human beings,
to enlighten them.
These three personalities are
named as ‘Basri-Mohammed Sahib’ with the commanding Power of the Lord,
‘Malki-Dhani Shri Devchandra ji’ having the Divine Soul of Shri Shyama ji –the
Better Half of the “Lord’ and the last third of ‘Haqi-Mahamati Shri Prannath
ji’ charged by Lord: these three Divine Persons have disseminated the Divine
Wisdom with which the human beings have been blessed with the boon of eternity
in the heart of ‘Akshhar’- the Indestructible God. The first one- Mohammed
Prophet prophesied in Quran regarding the descent of Brahmashristies.
The first Personality appeared as
Mohammed Paigambar-Basri, one thousand years ago of the descent of the Divine
Souls – Momin (the Brahmashristies). The second one as Dhani Shri Devchandra
ji-Malki, the Better Half of the ‘Lord’ descended in the Tenth Century of the Hizari
Era (after nine hundred and nine years from the demise of Mohammed Paigambar
whence Hizari Era began.)
The third Personality of Mahamati
Shri Prannath ji –Haqi charged by Lord Supreme (who also got the spiritual
Power of the previous two personalities in heirship) appeared at the
appropriate time as per prediction in all Holy Scriptures for the appearance of
‘Vijayabhinandan Buddha Nishkalank’. Shri ji as ‘Imam Menhdi’ disseminated the
Divine Knowledge in accordance with the Divine Order of ‘Lord’ in the universe
in order to make the human beings enlightened (by Divine Wisdom).
With the preaching of Mohammed
Paigambar, in compliance with the Divine Order of the ‘Lord’, the Better Half
of the ‘Lord’- Shri Shyama ji, in the guise of Shri Devchandra ji and Mahamati
Shri Prannath ji charged by Shri Raj ji, the human beings of the universe have
been blessed with the boon of Eternity – Salvation from the dreamy world.
Except these three, nobody could perform Divine Act.
These three personalities
delivered their preaching with their different motto, to illuminate the
universe with the help of ‘Light of the ‘Divine Wisdom’: thus the mystery of
the assembly of the Divine Souls in ‘Mool-Milava’- Paramdham has been revealed
by these Divine Persons in their own lifetime.
‘Basri Appearance’ charged by the
power of the Divine Order of the ‘Lord’ descended from Paramdham on the earth
in the ‘Person’ of Mohammed Paigambar. He revealed the Divine Knowledge to
those who deserved according to the capacity possessed by each individual who
came forward to contact Him. His Divine Knowledge as He heard from the Lord
Supreme when He approached HIM with the help of His Zeal –‘Gabriel Angel’,
could not be learnt by anybody in toto, except Him, himself.
Dhani Shri Devchandra ji, having
the impression of consciousness of Sunder Bai, was blessed by Shri Raj (the Lord Supreme) by blowing in Him the
Divine Soul of Shri Shyama ji –HIS Better Half to make Him ‘Malki Appearance’
of Shri Raj. Dhani Shri Devchandra ji was bestowed with the key to enable Him
to unlock the mysteries of Quran. The key is known as Divine Wisdom – Tartam, Ilam
Ludanni, with the help of which, the human beings have been made acquainted
with the Divine Knowledge contained in the scriptures as secrets by indications.
Mahamati Shri Prannath ji, the
‘Haqi Appearance’ of the ‘Lord’ was bestowed upon with the Divine Knowledge. He
disseminated the Divine Wisdom, Tartam, since He possessed the original
intellect of ‘Akshhar’. He gained the treasure of the Divine Knowledge from the
Holy Book Quran as the secrets thereof were revealed to Him by Sadguru Shri
Devchandra ji, with the help of which Shri ji described about the Super Eternal
Abode and the ‘Splendour of Lord Supreme’.
Three types of creatures have
been created in the dream world – Brahmashristies, Ishwarshristies and
Jeevashristies. Among the three, the Jeevashristies came into being out of
nothing but appeared in the dream of ‘Akshhar’. Their origin is no where, but
they are due to manifestation of Maha Vishnu, who willed –“Ekoaham Bahushyam”.
The dream is illusion, full of sorrows due to Maya. If the Jeevashristies are
given to understand the ‘Superexcellent Knowledge’, they would not comprehend
the gravity of Indestructible or Super Indestructible. They have their limit
within the ‘Destructible’. They would not imagine of Fourth Plane- Paramdham.
In Quran and Shastra, three types
of creatures have been mentioned, but the human beings of the dreamy world are
unable to understand the differences in the three types.
Swami Shri Laldas ji described,
“Now I say the descriptions of these three types of creatures – Brahmashristies
belong to Lahoot – Paramdham, Ishwarshristies to Zabroot - Akshhardham and
Jeevashristies to Malqoot –Baikunth Dham. The first two are Super-
Indestructible and Indestructible respectively, while the third one is within
the ‘Destructible creation’ of the Universe. These creatures behave and possess
characters according to their own inherent nature while living in the dreamy
world.
Brahmashristies, who have
descended by consciousness from Paramdham on the Earth, have likeness in nature
and behaviour, since they recognize immediately each other because of their
relations of Paramdham, though they play the drama of the illusive world.
Similarly, the Ishwarshristies
too, descended from the Eternal Abode of Akshhar along with Brahmashristies –
have their origin from Akshhardham, hence their nature and behaviour are alike,
since they possess the same kind of mentality of Akshhardham while living in
the illusive world.
The third one called the
‘Jeevashristies’ can reach upto Baikunth Dham – they have no knowledge of
‘Akshhar’ or Aksharaateet (Eternal or Super-eternal Abode). The Akshhardham and
Aksharaateet Dham exist on the either banks of Sacred River ,
Jamuna ji and are just similar; whereas Baikunth Dham is the imitation of
Akshhardham. The imitation can never have the value equal to the real one.
Mohammed Sahib having the power
of Divine Order of the ‘Lord Supreme’ appeared one thousand years earlier than
Brahmashristies. He, therefore, did not mention anything about Paramdham during
his lifetime to the unconcerned persons. He, however, kept it as secrets and
described by indications in Quran for the sake of knowledge of Brahmashristies,
whose descent from Paramdham was due, later on, as He knew and disclosed it in
mysterious words (Mukta Haroof).
As ninety thousand words were
spoken by Supreme Lord to Mohammed Paigambar, only thirty thousand related with
‘Shariyat’ or the ritual custom were described in Quran to be followed easily
by the taught of Mohammed Sahib. The remaining sixty thousand related with
Haqiqat and Marfat have been described by indications mysteriously to be
revealed to Brahmashristies.
Swami Shri Laldas ji described
about ‘Myaraj’ (personification of the Lord Supreme) that in deep meditation,
one day Mohammed Paigambar uplifted him by his consciousness then crossed
Malqoot, the Baikunth Dham and the ultimate limit of the ‘Destructible’
universe. Thereafter He reached the Eternal Abode of Akshhar –Akshhardham with
the help of Zeal (Gabriel Angel) but he proceeded further by ‘Pure Love’ in His
heart, which is the essential qualification for the conscious presence in
Paramdham.
By intense ‘love’ with the ‘Lord
Supreme’, he could proceed further and reached ‘Paramdham. There he stood just before
‘Allah’ – the Supreme Lord. (One can not reach Paramdham by zeal or deep
meditation: the intense love of the Soul is a must to enable one to reach that
level).
Mohammed Sahib reached the first
floor of ‘Rang Mahal’ (Royal Palace of Shri Raj ji) in ‘Mool-Milava, where
twelve thousand Divine Souls –Brahmashristies were sitting asleep before Shri
Raj ji. He also watched carefully the adjoining spots of the Main Palace
(Rang Mahal) in Paramdham (beyond Akshhardham).
He beheld the reservoirs, the
sacred River Jamuna ji, enormous gardens, the animals playing there and so many
other loftier palaces. He kept all these details recorded in His memory &
thereafter described the same in Quran and Myarajnama, & the other Holy
Books.
In Quran, Mohammed Sahib
described about the two creations of the Universe, first that of ‘Brij’ and the
second that of ‘Raas’. He indicated that Brahmashristies would appear again
with Farishte in the third creation of the Universe and would get enlightened
at the occasion of Qayamat –“Jaagni”.
Mohammed Sahib prophesied in
Quran about the reappearance of Brahmashristies as well as the ‘Supreme Lord’
in the third creation. After ‘Jaagni’ all would return to Paramdham. This fact
is beyond all doubts.
It is also mentioned in the
Scriptures that Brahmashristies being the bliss-part of Shri Raj ji, all
services rendered to them are appreciated by Shri Raj (Supreme Lord). The words
of admiration in respect of the Brahmashristies are very exceptional and cannot
be compared with any other type.
Brahmashristies being enlightened
feel their conscious presence in Paramdham; they do not get involved in the
worldly affairs, hence their worldly ambitions concerning with the physical
requirements like lust, anger avarice, attachment with other family members,
egoism etc. have been subsided. Being nearer to the Supreme Lord, they talk to
HIM face to face. Whosoever, happens to see them to have ‘Darshan’, deserves
all sorts of commendations in their respects.
Swami Shri Laldas ji expressed,
“The greatness of the group of Brahmashristies cannot be described in words –it
is not possible to use any language in their commendations. It gives immense
pleasure to praise them for their greatness.
“Sukhdeo, a famous sage and Ved
Vyas (Sukhdeo’s father, the author of Vedas and Upanishads etc.) have already
spoken in the sacred scriptures regarding the greatness, honour and divinity of
Brahmashristies. Similarly, the Trio-Gods (Brahmaa, Vishnu and Mahesh) have
been breeding ambitions in their hearts to obtain the dust of the sacred feet
of Brahmashristies.
“The Trio-Gods are regarded the
Super most Power like the Almighty by the human beings living on the Earth;
when they are desirous to adore Brahmashristies, all others being inferior to
them cannot be categorized to be included amongst the worshippers of the Brahmashristies.
As they deserve, Brahmashristies are adored by those all who have inclination
to worship the Almighty.
In the whole world, the
Brahmashristies have been adored: no name of any place can be spoken, where
they are not adored. As regards Paramdham, where Brahmashristies play ‘Love’
with the Supreme Lord, the same cannot be pronounced by words.
‘Akshhar’ – Sat-part of
Sat-Chit-Anand –the Godhead (Lord Supreme) is Super Indestructible God. HE
being busy in HIS plays of childhood creates or perishes in a fraction of a
second or in minutest moment many universes with Trio-Gods of each universe in
each term of the creations and annihilations.
Related with each term of
Universe-creation, Ishwar –Maha Vishnu and the Goddess named ‘Nature’ get
annihilated in the momentary plays of ‘Indestructible God – Akshhar’. ‘Akshhar,
too, is desirous to have ‘Darshan’ of these Brahmashristies – the ‘Love-Bliss-part’
of Aksharaateet –the ‘Supreme Lord’.
Swami Shri Laldas ji expressed,
“The above narration has been contained in the Hindus’ Scriptures –Vedas.
Similar details are contained in Quran too. Nobody else except the
Brahmashristies, who are concerned with the Divine Knowledge, has the capacity
to comprehend the mysterious facts.
“In all Holy Scriptures as well as
in Quran the commendations in respect of Brahmashristies have been mentioned in
details. In Quran, it is mentioned specifically as a prophecy that the next day
(as per the calculation pertaining to the Earth, one thousand years after the
demise of Prophet Mohammed i.e. in the Eleventh Century of Hizari Era), when
Qayamat would commence, the secrets of Quran would be revealed and thus the
mankind would recognize and come in contact with Brahmashristies.
“Akshhar-Brahma’ –the
Indestructible God has been bestowed with the Zeal and commanding powers of the
Supreme Lord. He is a great treasure of ‘Lights’ –‘Noor Jalaal’. He arrives
every day from Akshhardham to Paramdham to have ‘Darshan’ of ‘Noor-Jamaal’- the
limitless treasure of ‘Lights’ –the ‘Supreme Lord’ and then returns to
Akshhardham.
The imaginary Universes are
created and annihilated in the Eternal Abode of ‘Akshhar’ while He plays (as
per His nature of child-like playing). These universes consist of fourteen
worlds (Planes) of the ‘Destructible Universe’. The Zeal Power – Gabriel Angel
abides there, but that Angel (Zeal only) is unable to go beyond its limit: He
cannot reach Paramdham.”
Mohammed Aleh Salaam, blessed
with the commanding power of Shri Raj (Supreme Lord) was the Divine Messenger for
the mankind, especially to the Brahmashristies in the transitory world. The
Supreme Lord loved Him, as He deserved it. He appeared on the Earth for their
sake with the Lord’s Divine Message one thousand years earlier than the descent
of Brahmashristies.
The Brahmashristies are the Bliss-part
of Supreme Lord inherited with the intellect awarded to each of them by the
‘Lord’. They are Beloved Consorts of the ‘Lover’, who praises them: they are
always near their ‘Lord’. The Supreme
Lord plays ‘Love’ with them in Paramdham. Their Souls in the divine physiques abide
in Paramdham, but by the Divine Order of Shri Raj, they descended on the Earth
– the illusionary world by their consciousness only.
These Brahmashristies are ever
friendly to their ‘Lord’; hence as per Quran they are named as ‘Auliya-Lilla’
(friends). They please the ‘Lord’ with their constant sacred service, as they
do not get separated but are always close to HIM.
Swami Shri Laldas ji said, “I am
telling you about the history of these Brahmashristies –the Divine Souls. They
enjoy while playing ‘Love’ with the ‘Lord’ in Paramdham. The state of joy they
experience can not be described in any of the worldly languages.
“What have I spoken, it is in
accordance with the Divine Order of Supreme Lord for giving an understanding to
and keeping in the memory of Brahmashristies. Those, who offered their prayers
to the ‘Lord’, they renounced the world and accompanied Shri ji after
dedicating their health, wealth and wisdom (physically and mentally at the Lotus
Feet (of their Lord).
“The fragrance of the services
they rendered to please Shri ji would spread in the world and thereby the
‘diversity’ would take the shape of the ‘Unity’. All sorts of the differences
concerning with the faith in different religions would vanish.”
‘Akshhar’ (Indestructible God)
loves Shri Raj ji (the Super Indestructible) of Paramdham –Lahoot. The
supremacy of the Lord has been made known to the entire mankind, as they knew
more above Baikunth Dham – the Abode of Lord Vishnu. (As per Shrimad Geeta
(Chapter 15) –‘Uttam Purushashtwanyah Parmaatmetyudaahtah’
The intellect of ‘Akshhar’
(Indestructible God) loves the Supreme Lord and it pervades in the human
beings: thus the differences concerning individuals’ faith in religion, which
resulted in enmity amongst the people of one folk with the other (due to
influence of ignorance and false egoism) vanish automatically. According to the
prophecy in Quran and other Sacred Scriptures, the appropriate period of the
‘Advent of ‘Vijayabhinandan Buddha Nishkalank’ – Imam Menhdi has become due.
His name and the Divine Knowledge He preached have spread in the entire world.
The Divine Souls –Momin felt their presence in Paramdham while accompanying
Shri ji. They then experienced the ecstasy of Paramdham.
The news about the Appearance of
the Almighty- Lord in the guise of Mahamati Shri Prannath ji spread on the
earth: the mankind of the world who heard and knew about His Divinity rushed to
see Him. Mahamati Shri Prannath ji revealed the secrets of the Religious
Scriptures in order to awaken the concerned and the unconcerned souls from the
illusionary sleep of ‘Maya, as He preached about the Divine Knowledge related
with the Soul by eliminating the differences of castes, Colour and creed.
First of all the Brahmashristies
–the Divine Souls got enlightened and they presented themselves to prostrate at
the Lotus Feet of the ‘Lord Supreme’, who appeared as ‘Imam Menhdi’
–‘Vijayabhinandan Buddha Nishkalank’ in the person of Mahamati Shri Prannath
ji. The ‘Lord Supreme’ also made them fully aware of the existence of Paramdham
–their Super Eternal Abode.
The second row next to
Brahmashristies was of Ishwarshristies – the Farishte (belonging to
Akshhardham); they also joined the association of Brahmashristies and had
‘Darshan’ of the ‘Lord’ (Shri ji). They got obliged, since ‘Lord’ blesses them
by HIS Grace.
In the last, Jeevashristies also
followed the Ishwarshristies: they became the devotees of the ‘deities’ whom
the general public worships. They met with the justice to reach the Special Paradise
(one of the eight types disclosed by Shri ji) according to their deeds and the
dedication to the ‘Lord’.
Swami Shri Laldas ji described
the event in past tense, whereas this would happen in near future – when the
Divine knowledge would spread all over the surface of the Earth. Farishte
–Ishwarshristies would get awakened, and then Akshhar’s dreamy state for
assuming HIM as Maha Vishnu would also be over and HE would wake up in HIS
Eternal Abode.
On waking up, Akshhar would
remember what He dreamt and the Jeevashristies who played important roles would
appear in His memory to get Salvation in any of the eight kinds of Special Paradises
already established in the hearts of Akshhar, according to individual deeds and
devotion to the Almighty.
When the dream of ‘Akshhar’ would
end, the Divine Souls – Brahmashristies who descended by their consciousness in
the world would get up duly wake up from the sleep of Maya. Then they will feel
their real conscious presence in Mool-Milava –Paramdham, where they have been
sitting around the throne of Shri Raj Shyama ji. They will enjoy while talking
themselves about the drama and the roles they played individually, while they
lived in the physical bodies of the Jeevashristies by their consciousness only.
Swami Shri Laldas ji said,
“Sundersath ji! You have listened to the ‘Manglacharan’ – the Preface words:
Now the history of Parna ji, where Sundersath performed the sacred services to
Shri Raj ji (Shri ji) would be narrated in the ensuing chapter.
Prakaran 62 – Chopai - 3642.
CHAPTER 63 – PAHLA PAHAR
Swami Shri Laldas ji closed the
previous chapter of ‘Manglacharan’ (Forward of Ashtha Pahar – A Day & Night-routine
of Shri ji’s eleven years’ stay at Parna ji): Now he starts about the First
quarter of the day. He said, “The beautiful beds of Shri Raj ji & Shri
Shyama ji (Shri ji and Shri Bai Ju Raj) are very attractive; its softness due to
padding is very comfortable. What we see can not be described by words.
The red coloured wooden bedstead
has been woven with five coloured silken tapes, on which Shri ji used to rest
and the chiefs in the group of Sundersath please Him by their utmost services.
A soft cushion has been spread
out on the bedstead with a silken bed sheet over it. On the head side
comfortable pillows are put: Sundersath viewing it curiously know the beauty.
The bed sheet corners have been
tied well: the ends of the binding laces are swinging, having silken threads.
The sheets or the cotton-blankets are used according to the seasonal
requirement. A large canopy-type cover has been tied with red coloured and
shining four small pillar-type staffs standing at all the ‘Four Corners’ of the
bedstead.
The necessary curtains were
provided along the sides of the bed. All that required have been provided by Prem
das and Dwarka Das, who were present to do all this very carefully.
The job of taking off and again
arranging the beds at the same place was accomplished by Narayan Bhai and
Harnandan, which was done by Natha Joshi of Thattanagar some ago for a couple
of days.
Later on, Mathura and Ganga Das whom Premanand Bhai
also assisted performed this service. These persons performed their best to
please Shri ji.
Also Shyam ji joined their
company. These four persons had performed the duties as they were the ‘Beloved
Consorts’ of Shri Raj ji.
Manik Bhai was attending to Shri
ji very cheerfully. He was present every time to supervise the performance of
the sacred services of others. He was leading others very affectionately in day
and night duty of all sorts.
First, Jamuna Bai was attending
to providing drinking water to Shri ji; later on, she inherited her son,
Chhabildas to do the same on her behalf.
Early in the morning, about
forty-eight minutes (equal to two ghaties) before the Sun rise, Shri ji used to
get up and Chhabildas presented the drinking water daily, at the bed.
Later, Shri ji asked Poor Bai to
attend to present the drinking water daily early morning. Shri ji was pleased
with her services.
Early in the morning, Agardas and
Guljee Bhai performed the service of massaging the legs of Shri ji daily. Man
ji Bhai also attended sometimes to do the same.
Ram Bai too carried out the
sacred service of pressing the Lotus Feet of Shri ji very attentively while
Khemdas was present there daily for the same service earlier than others during
the night before it dawned.
When the Sun rose up, Shri ji got
up from the bed, daily. A group of attending Sundersath was ready to please Him
with their hearty and affectionate services.
During the winter season
especially, Bihari das used to bring daily morning a metallic pan filled with
burning charcoal-pieces (resembling a small furnace) for warming hands and the
soles of the Lotus Feet of Shri ji in order to protect from cold.
Simultaneously, Ratan Bai used to
present kerchief, wet with the hot water to help Shri ji wash His eyes.
Daily in the morning, Dhan ji
Bhai, Tara Bai, Kannad Bhai and Ganga Ram in chorus were singing a chapter,
‘Teeji Bhom ki jo Padshal, Dhani Aavat hai utha Praat’.
These Sundersath and some others,
too, were singing daily morning the choir-extracts of the selected chapters of
Tartamsagar in order to please Shri Raj ji (Shri ji).
According to the seasonal
requirement, the appropriate dresses were adorned to Shri ji by Vallabha das;
earlier Premdas, Ram Chandra and Nand Ram conducted this service.
Before putting on the dresses,
Bihari das used to warm the same daily morning & evening. Then Shri ji used
to put on the same happily and pleasingly.
First the silky kerchief was put
on to cover the head, then a special type of cap to cover the ears as well as
the head was put on by Shri ji with the help of the attendants, who performed
their services with their hearts’ affection.
Earlier, Premdas used to attire
Shri ji with socks, which later on, Vallabha das served very attentively.
According to His choice, Shri ji
used to put on a special type of long coat (Kurti) which was embroidered very
beautifully: sometimes, He used to put on white furred-blanket and an
embroidered piece of cloth.
Premdas with the assistance of
Nand Ram together adorned Shri ji. Swami Shri Laldas ji then tied the binding
laces of the long coat.
Lal Bai, too sometimes, tied the
laces with the help of Makrand das in lieu of Shri Laldas ji.
By the same time, Maharaja
Chhatrashal used to arrive there and he adorned Shri ji with the ornaments. He
always kept in mind that he was in a pious service of Shri Raj ji of Paramdham
(as he recognized Shri ji to be his Soul’s Lord.)
Vallabha das, Jeevo Bai and Prem
Bai used to provide daily portable canopy over the place where Shri ji used to
carry out the daily routine of the body-requirements. These fellows performed
this special service very carefully to express the hearty obligation to please
Shri ji.
Daily in the morning, Shri ji
used to go to Harbans’ house, while the path carpeting was done by Lal Bai.
Previously, Ghanshyam Bhai made
‘Setkhana’ (toilet) in his house, but afterwards, Harbans too got it
constructed at his house. He did this special work.
The service of providing the foot
wears to Shri ji was earlier performed by Narayan das. Mohan Bhai also did it
for some time and currently Khemai Bhai was doing the same with the purpose to
touch the Lotus Feet of Shri ji while rendering the pious service.
Then pleased with the service of Vallabha
das, Shri ji asked him to take the service of providing the foot wears from
Khemai Bhai, who assisted him for a few days and ultimately Vallabha das
continued.
Bakai Bhai and Kishni Bhai were
jointly servicing to please Shri ji by providing carpet to walk over. They took
interest in carrying out the service of floor carpeting, on and on.
Shiv Ram Bhai performed the
service of presenting the water pot in the morning and evening to Shri ji for
His toilet use.
Lal Bai presented the towel for
de-moistening hands after Shri ji returned from the toilet. Thereafter a tiny
casket containing cloves, cardamoms, and other spicy qualities was also presented
to Shri ji by Lal Bai and after some days by Dayali Bai.
Near Shri Bangala ji, there
existed a tree ‘Butea fondosa’ (Palaas), under which lived Harbans Bhai and Devaki.
They were always prepared to please Sundersath with their pious services.
They also had been managing
heated water in sufficient quantity stored in a big clay pot to be used by
Sundersath in winter season. They also kept ready for the immediate use the
green twigs for brushing the teeth of Sundersath with water vessels.
Earlier this service was carried
out by Gul Mohammed and Daulat Khan Bhai. They performed service to serve
Sundersath who arrived there in the morning along with Shri ji.
Badle Bhai having Sunflower in his hand was standing in the way to provide shadow over the face of Shri ji in order to avoid direct shining of the Sunrays.

Awaiting arrival of Keshav das
who along with Shankar used to swing the whisk made of peacock plumage (to give
due respect to the Grand Personality), Amola Bai and Prabhavati Bai, too, were
swinging the same for a short time.
Keshav Das and Shankar das were
swinging the peacock plumage walking on either sides of Shri ji. Nand Ram also
accompanied them in the performance of the service.
Vallabh das used to oscillate the
umbrella-type canopy over the head of Shri ji. He was always ready to perform
the service very affectionately.
Shri ji walked over the floor
carpet from the house of Harbans to His seat in Shri Bangala ji, where Manik
Bhai helped to sit : while walking Shri ji had talked with Sundersath laughing
and entertaining with them.
Dhan Bai and Ghanshyam Bhai
spread the two pieces of the floor carpet, turn by turn from the house of
Harbans Bhai to Shri Bangala ji, on which Shri ji walked over.
When Himmat Bhai arrived there,
he begged permission from Lal Bai to take up the job of carpeting the way with
the cloth-pieces. He had been doing this service, daily at his own.
Dhan Bai and Ram Kunwar were
holding the hands to support Shri ji while He sat on a chair or the bedstead.
Sundersath were eager to wash the Lotus Feet while he was sitting.
After washing His Lotus Feet,
Shri ji got up from the chair (or bedstead), took off the clothes and sat on
the Sandalwood whatnot. The Sundersath then massaged Shri ji with perfumed oil
to please Him.
Shri ji after bathing put a
sandal paste mark on the forehead. Then after a deep meditation for a while,
preached Sundersath narrating the details of Paramdham in order to let
Sundersath experience as if they were present there with Shri Raj ji
Then Shri ji reached the bedstead
and He put His footsteps to sit on it. Sundersath were standing there before
Him to perform the sacred service as and when necessary.
Occasionally, Shri ji brushed His
teeth while sitting on the bedstead, Sundersath especially Narayan das and
Keshav Das were standing on the either sides with kerchief and the other
essentials.
Chhabildas, the son of Jamuna Bai
was presenting the green twig duly covered with golden make wrapper for
brushing the teeth. He also served Shri ji with some hot and cold, lukewarm
water.
Nand Ram then held the wash-hand
portable basin in his hand. Shri Raj washed His hands with lukewarm water,
which was collected in the portable wash hand basin. The collected water then
distributed as oblation amongst Sundersath by Shankar das.
Noor Mohammed prepared a mix of
cardamom, clove, musk etc. to be chewed by Shri ji. Gul Mohammed, later on,
took up this service, from Noor Mohammed.
Roopa Bai performed happily the
service of serving ‘Harad’ (an herbal medicine for digestive system), with
which she pleased Shri ji.
Pakhadi Bhai & Chhabildas
were present there for sacred services. They presented coffee to Shri ji and talked in friendly and hearty
affectionate terms.
Mukund das was then present to
adorn Shri ji with turban. Godavari Bai covered His ears with a special piece
of silken cloth.
Mukund das then crested the
turban beautifully with the feathers’ tuft. He was doing this while putting on
turban over the head of Shri ji with its swinging end.
There is description in Tartamsagar
–Sringar Book, “Sir Paag Bandhey Chaturaee son, Haq Pench Haath mein ley.”
Sundersath sang this chapter at the occasion of putting on Turban. The choir
singers were enjoying by their Souls’ presence in Paramdham with the ‘Lord’ to
experience the ecstasy of Paramdham.
Mukund das was adorning Shri ji with turban,
while another Mukund das arrived, who caught the swinging edge of the turban in
his hand. He was always doing this job daily interestedly, standing thereby.
Agar das used to remain standing
with the mirror-piece in his hand daily while turban was put on by Shri ji. He
was satisfied with this job.
Others were Sita Ram, Gul
Mohammed and Bansidas, who had mirror pieces in their hands. They helped Agar
das very happily.
Agar das used to arrive there
when the important coils of the turban-cloth were putting on . He serviced Shri
ji heartily.
For some days, Uddhav das
performed the service to present the Sandalwood paste to make reverential mark
on the forehead of Shri ji. Lastly, Chhabildas performed this service very
devotedly.
The turban was adorned with
diamond pieces at its edge. The same were shining very much. Also pearls’
garland was put on to double the light rays.
Uka Bhai took up the service of
preparing tufts. He crested the turban when Shri ji sat on the throne.
Ram das and Dharma Bai prepared
the flower beads and a basket full of the same was brought near Shri ji. Lalita
(daughter of Rajaram Bhai of Merata, who accompanied Shri ji) used to speak
slogan, “Shri Raj Khama – Raj Khama (The Lord is merciful), whenever Shri ji
arrived.
Maya Ram preserved with him
coloured pieces of cloth duly sewn to form a blanket, so that when required, he
would provide the same to Shri ji to put on.
Maya Ram also presented the small
beads of camphor-wood as he kept the clothing meant for a Sanyasi duly
preserved with him. The cotton blanket was always ready with him.
Maya Ram was also keeping with
him the thread with needle. Other things such as Ajwayan, ginger, pepper and
other spicy edibles together with perfumes for immediate use were also kept by
him.
Whenever required, Shri ji called
Maya Ram and asked him for the requisite things. He at once presented and
served the required things to please Shri ji.
Then arrived Maharaja Chhatrashal
and presented the ornaments and the rings of his own fingers to Shri ji.
Shri Bai Ju Raj too brought the
ornaments for Shri ji. Godavari and Rukmani
accompanied her.
Shri Bai Ju Raj brought the
ornaments in a large silver plate duly covered with a big kerchief. Maharaja
took the plate and adorned Shri ji with the ornaments.
Maharaja Chhatrashal adorned Shri
ji with two pearl-beads golden rings and necklaces as well as with two golden
chains having a beautiful ruby-stud locket.
A necklace comprising of two
golden chains, another necklace of nine chains having a locket of golden flower
and over it an especially woven three golden chains were also adorned by
Maharaja to Shri ji.
Maharaja also adorned another
pearls’ bead having a pearl-locket to Shri ji.
After adorning Shri ji, Shri Bai
Ju Raj returned to her place. The other Sundersath got engaged to present foods
of various types to Shri ji at the right time.
It was the time of light
breakfast (Balbhog); Shri Bai Ju Raj brought with her all kinds of foods. Ratan
Bai presented cooked green-grams (Mug or Moong), simultaneously.
Many Sundersath had also brought
various types of foods from their homes and presented the same very
affectionately. Swami Shri Laldas ji said, “The pleasing environment was
created when Shri ji was eating many varieties: Sundersath’s rejoicing can not
be described.”
Then Chhabildas served Shri ji
with drinking water in a vessel. Shri ji was hearing attentively those who
asked Him for any thing.
After the breakfast, Ash Bai
requested Shri ji to proceed to the house of Manik Bhai. Shri ji was pleased
with her service and praised her.
Vallabh das presented the
beautiful and decorated footwear. His main duty was to provide umbrella over
Shri ji, when He walked to reach the house of Manik Bhai.
Lal Bai then carpeted the floor
to walk over it. Kishni Bai too assisted her.
While getting up from the
bedstead, Dhan Bai held one hand and Shri Laldas ji the other to support Shri
ji.
Ganga Das held the stick to
provide support to Shri ji. Shri Laldas ji was also supporting Him by the other
side. Makrand Bhai also assisted him.
When Maharaja Chhatrashal arrived
there, he helped Shri ji to get up; Lal Bai replaced Shri Laldas ji
occasionally.
Lal Bai sometimes, stood before
Shri ji to stop His movement; thus she was creating the humorous atmosphere to
joke with Shri ji. Shri ji was pleased and laughing at her behaviour.
Shri ji walked in a special type
with coquetry to please the Sundersath who sang the choir all along. Shankar
das was leading the chorus.
Manik Bhai had been busy in
managing bedstead with cushion and nice bed sheet. He arranged round rolling
and flat pillows all around the cushioned bed.
Suva Bai was entrusted with the
job of management of the house. Daily she performed it devotedly.
Adjoining to the house of Manik
Bhai, Ganga Das had also managed well in his house to provide bedstead, where
Shri ji stayed occasionally and fulfilled the desires of others too.
Bada Mool Chand Modi always
accompanied Shri ji wherever He moved. When Shri ji reached the desired place,
he used to speak – “Dham Dhani ki Jai”.
Gaur Bai was present to hold hand
of Shri ji when He was getting up from or sitting at the bed.
Earlier Nand Ram swung the whisk
made of peacock-plumage on one side and Keshav Das on the other.
Thus while returning from the
house of Manik Bhai, Ganga das and Keshav Das
swung the peacock-feathered whisk along the way.
The other peacock-plumage and
yak-tail hair whisks were in the hands of Shankar Das and Vallabh das.
Vallabh das was swinging on one side
of Shri ji, the white long hair whisk, which was stuck to a golden & silver
stick. Keshav Das and Bakhtavar Bhai also assisted him. They had performed the
sacred service very attentively to please Shri ji.
Mohammed Khan, who was having
full faith in his ‘Soul’s Lord’- Mahamati Shri Prannath ji, also assisted
Vallabh das.
Returned from the house of Manik
Bhai, Shri ji took His seat on the bedstead in Shri Bangala ji. Here Murlidhar
was sitting in front of Shri ji to adhere to the Divine Preaching.
When returned from the house of
Manik Bhai it was the time a quarter day past (nearly 10 O’clock). This time
was scheduled to deliver the Divine Preaching.
Swami Laldas ji said while
closing the chapter, “O Sundersath ji! The details of the schedule of the first
quarter of the day have been described: now the details of the schedule related
to the next quarter of the day would be narrated in the ensuing chapter,
hereafter, very descriptively.”
Prakaran 63 – Chopai 3744.
CHAPTER 64 – DOOSRAA PAHAR.
Swami Shri Laldas ji described in
this chapter, “Now I am describing about the routine-programme of the second
quarter of the day, during which Sundersath performed their services, which
happened at the mercy of the Lord Supreme.
Both sides of Shri ji’s seat at the
bedstead Shri Laldas ji and Shri Keshav das ji, two prominent learned Divine
Persons sat with Quran on the satchel to read and please Shri ji.
Mahamati Shri Prannath ji (Dham
Dhani) described About Paramdham with the details of some spots. The attendant
Sundersath while adhering to the description of Paramdham experienced the joy
of that place, as if they were present in Paramdham, when Shri ji attracted
their attention.
Shri ji then called Jayanti
‘Kaka’ and asked him to arrange satchels with the scriptures thereupon to read.
Jayanti Kaka was preserving the
Holy Books in a big box and he arranged them well to please Shri ji.
Jayanti Kaka was also keeping
money in a bag and he was delivering the same as per order of Shri ji when
asked to do so.
Bagh ji Bhai brought with him a
wooden support to be used by Shri ji while sitting and keeping one of His arms
over it. Shri ji took it and kept one of His arms over it to sit easily with
support.
A scraper to rub the itching part
where erasing by nails was required was presented to Shri ji by Vanmali das.
Shri ji took it in His hand and began to rub. It was pleasant to use it.
Dadurai Bhai used to read Tafseer
Hussein –the Holy Book of Islam. It was an assigned job, he was doing.
Dadurai Bhai also wrote letters
in good handwriting mentioning therein the description of Qayamat (Jaagni) to
Sundersath of other places (who did not accompany Shri ji). He performed his
duty very well.
In Quran the words ‘Ghazi Bani’
have been used for Shri Devchandra ji and the disciples who got enlightened.
Occasionally Govind Rai and Tekchand were reading their history, while Shri ji
listened to.
During the course of the
preaching, Badri das wrote down the events, which took place while Shri ji
stayed at Panna. This work he did for one year and the work is known as
‘Vaakaa’. He also carried out many works, which are very important and
informative.
Pohokar Bhai (Pushkar Bhai)
together with Badri das performed this important work. Devi das was writing
what was the speech of Shri ji in respect of ‘Divine Wisdom’ (Vani). What he
wrote had been contained in ‘Tartamsagar’. He used to read the same, listening
to which Shri ji got pleased. The ‘Divine Wisdom’ (Vani) was the speech of Shri
ji, which He spoke in verses as per the inspiration of the Lord Supreme (Shri Raj ji) in His heart, unknowingly.
Others were also attentive to
write down the speech of Shri ji concerning with the ‘Divine Wisdom’ and
contained in ‘Tartamsagar’. The names of the writers were Mathura Bhai, Timar
Bhai and Parash Ram who assisted Pushkar Bhai and Badri das.
Besides, Padmiya Bhai, Beeriya
Bhai, Surat Singh and Makaniya Bhai were also writing the Divine Speech of Shri
ji; then they also arranged the same properly in sets of the books.
In addition, Hiramani Bhai too wrote
down very carefully the Divine Speech of Shri ji as spoken in verses (Chopai)
by Him. Others, who took interest to take down the dictation to write what was
spoken as Divine Speech by Shri ji, were standing with their works before Shri
ji to read and to please Him.
Mohna Bhai too wrote the ‘Divine
Speech’ of Shri ji, which was incessantly listened to by Bhavan das present
there. Similarly, Girdhar Bhai also sat there to listen to what they read.
Haridas Bhai happened to sit
there to take dictation of the Divine Speech of Shri ji spoken in verses as per
the ‘Lord’s Divine Order’. He kept the collection of what he wrote, at his home
so that other might get benefit in future on going through the ‘Divine Wisdom’.
During the course of the
discourses, Shri ji revealed the secrets of Shrimad Bhagwat, which was listened
to by Sundersath, especially by Govind ji Mishra, who was regular to adhere to
the same very attentively.
Maharaja Chhatrashal was also
regular to attend the assembly in Shri Bangala ji during the course of
discourses of Shri ji as he preserved ‘Divine Wisdom’ in his heart to deliver
it to others for their enlightenment later on.
Shri ji while delivering
preaching was quoting the references of Vedas and Quran and Sundersath were
rejoicing to hear the melodious voice of Shri ji.
Murlidhar Bhai happened to occupy
his seat just in front of Shri ji to listen to the preaching very attentively.
He was looking at the eyes of Shri ji incessantly.
While preaching, Shri ji used to
pour the showers of the Divine Knowledge of His heart over the audiences, in
whose hearts too waves after waves of rejoicings were rising.
The audiences were experiencing
the joy of Paramdham on listening to the details thereof. Maharaja Chhatrashal
enjoyed the same by his heart filled up with the ‘Eternal Bliss’.
Shri ji often revealed the
secrets of the scriptures and explained mysterious forty questions of Shrimad
Bhagwat. The Sundersath were very attentive to adhere to the same.
All the mysteries of the
scriptures with adequate proofs of the references were revealed by Shri ji
during the course of preaching concerning the details of the fourteen worlds
(Planes) of the ‘Destructible Universe’ and beyond it the existence of the
Eternal Abode of the ‘Indestructible God’- Akshhar.
Shri ji also quoted the
revelations made by other saints and reformers as proof while He preached the
Sundersath in respect of the Divine Knowledge.
The contents of Quran – the Holy
Book of Islamic Faith and that of Vedas and Puran of Hinduism were treated
inconsistent with each other since the creation of the Universe, hence the
differences amongst Hindus and Muslim crept in, But Mahamati Shri Prannath ji
interpreted these Holy Scriptures to give clues to find the common essence in
order to make the two faiths ‘one’ without any differences or doubts.
Mahamati Shri Prannath ji
preached the Sundersath so convincingly that the audiences were bound to stick
to adhere to continuously. Shri ji too united them with the magic of His speech,
soothing to every audience.
Brijnain Bhai and Chanchal das
were also regular to attend the preaching of Shri ji very silently without
speaking even a single word. They were very attentive e to listen to the
preaching only; they did nothing.
Mahamati Shri Prannath ji while
preaching pronounced very appropriate words in His melodious voice listening to
which the audiences’ souls got consolation to the extent of the extremity,
which is not comparable to any type of cheers.
Shri ji described the figures of
Royal Couple of Shri Raj Shyama ji of Paramdham with minutest details by
showering His Grace over the audiences and to impart rejoicings to all of them.
Mahamati Shri Prannath ji
possessed ‘Power’ to make Sundersath cheerful. No body else except He could
disburse the ecstasy of Paramdham, which He blessed to Sundersath.
Shri ji described about the
ecstasy of Paramdham and the sorrows of the drama of the transitory world. He
narrated the necessity of this drama of the transitory world, where the Divine
Souls- Brahmashristies have to get enlightened and feel the joy of ‘Jaagni’.
He spoke, “The Jeevashristies
only have been created out of nothing in this illusive drama of Maya, whereas
you, Brahmashristies have descended here by your ‘Consciousness’. You have hailed
here from Paramdham and do not belong to ‘Drama’. Remember your Super Eternal
Abode. This is the third creation of the Universe. Earlier you appeared in two
different creations of ‘Brij and Raas’; but your desires were not fulfilled
completely, hence the third time the Universe of ‘Jaagni Raas’ is created.
Therefore this Universe (third
time) has been created to show you the drama of sorrows” Mahamati Shri Prannath
ji further added, “On behalf of the Lord Supreme, three Personalities charged by
the ‘Lord Supreme’ appeared to awaken you.
“First I appeared as Prophet
Mohammed and described Quran containing sacred words and secrets for your sake;
then Shyama ji –the better half of the ‘Lord’ appeared as Sadguru Shri
Devchandra ji who delivered the ‘Divine Wisdom’ in order to enable you –the
Brahmashristies to learn about the revelation of the ‘Truth’ with the help of
the ‘Key Words’ –Tartam. In the last, I –Imam Menhdi appeared to describe the
Divine Wisdom and deliver the Divine Knowledge to impart you good sense to
experience the ecstasy of Paramdham duly enlightened. The secrets of the Holy
Scriptures have also been made easy.”
Mahamati Shri Prannath ji
explained the definition of ‘Five Adventist Days’ related with the creation of
the Universes: viz. ‘First Day’ of Brij where Shri Krishna charged by the Lord
Supreme appeared with Gopies to play there; ‘Second Day’ of ‘Raas’ in the
universe of Yogmaya (after annihilation of the First Universe) and the ‘Third
Day’ is related with the appearance of Mohammed Sahib having charged by ‘Lord’;
the ‘Fourth Day’ is related with the appearance of Dhani Shri Devchandra ji
having impression of consciousness of the Divine Soul of Shyama ji –the Better Half
of Shri Raj ji. He addressed Brahmashristies the experiences of ‘four’ days. Currently
they have been experiencing the ‘Fifth Day’ related with the appearance of
Mahamati Shri Prannath ji as an ‘Advent of Vijayabhinandan Buddha Nishkalank’-
Imam Menhdi. Mahamati Shri Prannath ji appeared to enlighten you –the
Brahmashristies as you have been playing in ‘Jaagni Raas. On the ‘Sixth Day’
the Brahmashristies would feel the ecstasy of Paramdham duly enlightened, which
is happening: hence, as such, I intend to return to Paramdham. You all should
be ready to end this drama of the illusive world and feel presence in ‘Mool-Milava’
in Paramdham, where you have been sitting.
“These are the days related with
Qayamat –self awakening as indicated in Quran to happen one thousand one
hundred years of Hizari Era. The appropriate time has become due. This has been
made clear and also understood by Momin – Brahmashristies, whom the Lord
Supreme delivered the Divine Knowledge, too.
In Quran there is mention about
the days of Qayamat to take place in the Eleventh Century of Hizari Era, when
the seven big symptoms would also happen. Accordingly, the appropriate and
promised time has become due.
From Mecca ,
four special letters (Vasiyatnama) were also received as addressed to the
Emperor of Hindustan (India )
wherein the ‘Advent of Imam Menhdi’ amongst Hindus was predicted. As a result
of which, the world was made known about the importance of Hindustan as the
human beings would find repose under the banner of peace, mental improvement,
Grace of Almighty and the ‘Heaven’s influence in this country of Hindustan on
the ‘Advent of Imam Menhdi’.
The duration of life span in days
and nights elapsed has been defined by Imam Menhdi to represent the devils to
kill the human beings. The ignorance about the ‘reality’, but the state of
coherency with ‘Shariyat’ only has emerged in place of the sense regarding the
importance of humanity. This infers that the Sun rose up in the opposite
direction or in the west. Similarly, the ignorant people stuck to ‘Shariyat’
only have adopted the false pride of bestial behaviour.
Quran –the Holy Book of Islamic
Faith contains the description of event to take place when the Momin –
Brahmashristies and ‘Imam Menhdi’ would be opposed by these ignorant people,
who are following ‘Shariyat’ only. This happened accordingly, in a large scale
when, despite, the Divine Knowledge was conveyed to the Emperor- Aurangzeb, he
& his officials behaved to torture and oppose Imam Menhdi and His
associates (Brahmashristies).
Sadguru Shri Devchandra ji (Issah
– Rooh-Allah) and Shri ji – Imam Menhdi mended the mentality of devil-minded
people with the help of Divine Wisdom as preached to all whosoever attended the
assembly: then these devil-minded people having influence of Kaliyug faced the
consequences of the influence of ‘Providence’.
Having the intellect of
‘Akshhar’-Indestructible God, Mahamati Shri Prannath ji (known as Asrapheel
Angel) revealed the indications of the secrets of Quran for the general welfare
of Mankind. Divine Wisdom- Tartam has been preached to all with the result,
‘Group-Jaagni’ of Brahmashristies would take place during the period commenced
from Vikram Samvat 1735 (1678 A D) to 1775 (1718 A D) for forty years. Maharaja
Shri Chhatrashal carried out this work after Vikram Samvat 1752 to end of 1775,
which Shri ji authorised to do so in His absence. (Shri ji took Yoga-Samadhi in
Vikram Samvat 1751 at Parna ji (Panna, MP) – it was Vikram Samvat 1752 as per
Northern India Almanac.
Mahamati Shri Prannath ji
preached Sundersath daily while they were present in Shri Bangala ji, which was
well understood by all the attendants –Sundersath.
This Divine Knowledge related
with Paramdham was delivered by Shri ji to all, but those, who were concerned
as well as fortunate, comprehended the same and treasured it in their hearts.
Others could not conceive it.
Here at Shri Bangala ji audiences
were well convinced hence they had no doubts or any sorts of queries to be
answered. Of course, there were some devil-minded people who misguided a few of
them.
Swami Shri Laldas ji while
closing the Chapter of the schedule of the second quarter of the day said,
“Sundersath ji! After two quarters of the day has elapsed, the time to feast
the lunch became due: Shri ji then expressed His desire to take lunch.”
Prakaran
64 – Chopai - 3793
CHAPTER 65 – RAAJ BHOG
Swami Shri Laldas ji described,
“Shri ji took the bath and got prepared before lunch. The details of the
schedule of the daily routine pertaining to the extreme end of the second
quarter of the day, according to which, Sundersath performed their services are
narrated, hereafter.”
About three-quarters of an hour
earlier than the noon, Hanumant Bai requested Shri ji to get prepared for taking
lunch and expressed her intention to dish for him.
Shri ji agreed and ordered, “Go
and prepare the dish. Shri Bai Ju Raj was told to manage for the same.
While Shri ji continued to
deliver the discourse, meanwhile, first Kamlavati arrived to request for taking
meal; then second was Lal Bai and third Hanumant Bai.
Shri Raj ji then ordered to
arrange for His attire like ‘Dhoti’ & Towel as well as oil for massage. He
spoke, “I shall come there when every thing for my bath is readily kept.
“Till it is done, why do you
disturb me when I have been delivering the Divine Knowledge?” Then, the
attendants told Shri ji that Shri Bai Ju Raj had conveyed her request.
Jayanti Kaka then spoke something
secretly in one of the ears of Shri ji, who then disclosed the request of Shri
Bai Ju Raj, the chief of the Divine Souls preferred to other Sundersath.
Then Shri ji got up from His
seat, where He had been delivering His Divine Speech. He arrived to take bath
and sat on a whatnot. Then the concerned Sundersath started oil massage. They
stood around Shri ji for the service of massaging.
For massage, Godavari Bai and
Ganga Ram brought oil in a bowl. This particular work was their duty.
While Shri ji was bathing, oil
massage was done by Agardas & Guljee Bhai as they were allotted this job.
Bansidas and Sita Ram Bhai also
assisted them. These two persons were serving similarly to other Sundersath to
please them all.
The oblation of oil residue
remained in the bowl after the massage of Shri ji was distributed as a sacred
commodity amongst Sundersath by Ganga Ram very happily to perform the service
of Sundersath.
The ‘Dhoti’ (long clothe to be
worn) and Towel with kerchief were brought by Shri Laldas where Shri ji bathed,
for which purpose Manik Bhai arranged lukewarm water, suitable for bathing.
Ganga Ram and Bhagwan Bhai mixed
the cold water with the hot and made it lukewarm. They had a feeling of
obligation without any pride in performing this type of service.
After playing ‘Raas’ the
Brahmashristies, who were Gopies of Brij had bathed in the Holy River Jamuna ji
with Shri Krishna ji –their Lord. In the first booklet of Tartamsagar, named
‘Shri Raas’ the description thereof is mentioned in Gujarati Language in verses
–the beginning of which contains the words –“Jheelan Rang Suhamano”. The chorus
of this chapter of ‘Shri Raas’ was sung by Kannad Bhai and Ganga Ram. Tara Bai
too was repeating and other Sundersath sang the same in choir.
A wooden whatnot was brought by
Man Bai for bathing and Ratan Bai kept a wooden small plank to support the
Lotus Feet of Shri ji while He was sitting on the whatnot to bathe.
Sandalwood sandals were brought
by Ratan Bai. Ratan Bai spread a cloth-piece on the wooden plank.
An umbrella-type canopy was made
by Ratan Bai and a piece of cloth was covered over the wooden whatnot for Shri
ji to sit on it.
Manik Bhai was pouring water with
a pot when Shri ji was bathing. Shri Laldas ji also assisted Manik Bhai to pour
water.
During the process of bathing,
Lachchhidas and Vrindavan Bhai were rubbing the body of Shri ji with the towel,
while Lal Bai picked up and presented the kerchief. She was happy.
By this time, Maharaja
Chhatrashal arrived there and he too rubbed Shri ji’s body with towel, then he
supported Shri ji to get up.
Lal Bai used to bring towel then
Shri Bai Ju Raj snatched it from her to de-moisten the body of Shri ji with her
hands. Premdas also assisted Shri Bai Ju Raj. Others too performed the similar
service.
The Sundersath were standing
surrounding Shri ji. Shri ji then poured water with a pot over ‘Lalita’
(daughter of Raja Ram Bhandari. She accompanied Shri ji from Merata). Her
clothes got wet.
While Shri ji was bathing every
body was joking and laughing in humorous mood. Shri ji also encouraged
Sundersath to enjoy as He spoke in melodious voice to make every body rejoice.
Sobhadas at the same time liked
to lie on the flowing water. He fell over the floor when Shri ji bathed, in
order to enjoy by bathing with the sacred water. He had a pious heart, since he
was devoted to Shri Raj ji because of ‘love’ by his Soul.
The Divine Souls –Brahmashristies
were friendly to each other. They were loved by the ‘Lord Supreme’ (Shri Raj)
too. When enlightened they possessed the control over the physical desires.
They felt their conscious presence in Paramdham –the Super Eternal Abode. As
such, Brahmashristies had friendly and lovely terms with Shri Raj ji.
At the very occasion, Keshav Das
recited the extracts of Tartamsagar while Shri Laldas ji used to express his
views in respect of Iyets of Quran.
After bath, Shri Laldas ji and
Premdas adorned Shri ji with the fine dress while Maharaja Chhatrashal wrapped Shri
ji with two cotton-blankets to warm Him.
Vallabh das put the Sandalwood
Sandals (Foot wears) before Shri ji that He put on and walked over the carpeted
floor arranged by Ratan Bai.
One of the silken carpets was
spread on the floor by Deepa Bai. Shri ji walked over the same and reached the
place to take lunch.
Also Bakai Bhai spread carpets
over which Shri ji walked very gladly and by coquetry. The Sundersath sang
extracts of Tartamsagar.
For Sundersath to dine, green
leaf-dishes and bowls were prepared by Khemdas with the help of Sita Ram.
While the ‘Thal’- a large plate
filled with different types of foods was brought by Shri Bai Ju Raj, four
ladies holding a sheet at the corners to make an umbrella-type of canopy over
Shri Bai Ju Raj accompanied her, under the guidance of Dhan Bai.
Aash Bai picked up large silver
dish (Plate -‘Thal’) and cleansed it with a kerchief and handed over to Shri Bai Ju Raj.
Shri Bai Ju Raj took up the gold
and silver made bowls, cleansed them with kerchief and arranged them properly
for vegetables on the large plate.
Shri Bai Ju Raj put these bowls
with Royal Foods (Raj Bhog) very attentively. She asked other associates to
bring other foods and vegetables with a great care in other bowls.
In the noon daily, Shri Bai Ju
Raj used to bring the large plate (Thal) filled in and arranged with different
types of foods and sweets to present the same to Shri ji. Tulsi, Radha, Rukmani
and others who were happy in their service associated Shri Bai Ju Raj.
Karuna Bai carpeted the floor for
Shri Bai Ju Raj to walk over it while She brought the ‘Thal’ (the large plate).
Bihari das had faith in Shri ji. He treated Him as his Soul’s Lord of
Paramdham; hence he devotedly made cushioned seat in front of the throne of
Shri ji.
Bihari das spread the cushioned
seat of silk just in front of the throne over which pillows were arranged.
Shri ji sat on this cushioned
seat to take meal; on either side attendants were present to help Shri ji while
sitting. On one side was Dhan Bai and the other side was Lal Bai.
At the same time, as usual,
Lalita uttered –“Raj Khama” (Shri Raj is merciful). Mukund das was sitting just
in front of Shri ji to sing the ‘Vani’ of Tartamsagar.
Kannad Bhai and reputed singer
Parmanand were the choir singers with Mukund das along with Binda and Ganga
Ram. They all used to sing the extracts of Tartamsagar.
Man Bhai then put small-legged
wooden table duly covered with a kerchief, edges of which contained swinging
silky thread- bunches.
The large silver plate (Thal)
containing food was put on the table, which was arranged well for the purpose:
and Shri Bai Ju Raj then sat near Shri ji. Ayee ji sat before them to manage
for further required food.
Manik Bhai had a portable wash
hand basin in his hand. Lal Bai then cleansed and de-moistened the hands of
Shri ji with a kerchief.
Shri Bai Ju Raj associated by a
company of her attendants then brought the large silver plate with different
types of sweets and foods. Shankar das was present there to perform the sacred
service while Shri ji was taking the meal.
Amongst associates, Jayanti Kaka
was the chief to serve the Sundersath as and when required.
Surajmani Bhai performed service
for a few days to cook different types of foods. After some days he went and
joined his family.
While Shri ji was taking His meal
Manik Bai used to cover His head with a beautiful and fine decorated kerchief.
Also Shri ji used to talk with her very pleasingly.
Apart from above, Lal Bai too
adorned Shri ji with a large decorated kerchief while He was dining. This was
her special service, which she performed daily at that time.
Mathuri Bai very affectionately
used to moisten the small kerchief with rose perfume and presented it to Shri
ji. She put a small mark over the forehead of Shri ji, who pleased her with the
Divine Knowledge; He spoke to her at the occasion.
Mathuri Bai and Himoti Bai were
attending to their assigned duties and used to bring large plates turn by turn
very attentively.
While Shri ji was dining, Shri
Bai Ju Raj was also sitting just near to Him. Shri ji expressed His demand for
any edible, Shri Bai Ju Raj ordered her associates to fetch it immediately.
Shri Bai Ju Raj was very heedful
to provide different kinds of vegetables and pickles, when Shri ji told her.
While dining Shri ji often spoke
new verses (as part of some particular book of Marfat Sagar and the like. Shri
Laldas ji and Shri Keshav das ji were writing the same as they were sitting on
the either sides of Shri ji for this purpose.
Gokul Das was often present
there, who talked very well on different topics including those related with
Quran & Hadeesh.
Before starting to eat, Shri ji
gave some portion thereof to distribute the same among the Sundersath. Raja Ram
Bhai too received the oblation of the foods and relished its good taste.
Ratan Bai and Poor Bai brought
green-gram (Mug or Moong) and others also brought so many things to perform
their service.
Suva Bai, Sita Bai and Prem Bai
arrived in Shri Bangala ji keeping the kerchiefs in their hands to swing the
same over and by the sides of the ‘Thal’ (the large plate) to air it.
Bihari das too swung the
kerchief, while Vallabh das held in hand the long staff of portable shade
(canopy, just like umbrella) to provide protection from the Sun.
Dharma Bai was greatly devoted to
Shri ji, hence she brought a few Roties (loafs) from her house to feed Shri ji.
He also accepted her offer very gracefully to oblige her because of her hearty
love for her ‘Lord’.
On either sides of Shri ji were
sitting Khargo Bai, Hanumant Bai & Bhandarin who obeyed Shri Bai Ju Raj and
brought the particular variety of foods as and when asked for by Shri Bai Ju
Raj.
Brahmashristies –the Divine Souls
who were members of the association of Sundersath had surrounded Shri ji, some
of them were standing while others occupied seats on the floor completely
leaving no space.
While Shri ji was dining, meanwhile,
Chhabildas presented the drinking water and Vallabh das provided the portable
spit-pot.
Two such spit-pots were kept on
either side of Shri ji, held in hands by Sant das and Shankar das.
Raghav ji Bhai joined Shankar das in providing
the portable spit-pot. Raghav ji Bhai also used to distribute the oblation of
betel-leaf preparation amongst Sundersath.
Shankar das and Mukund das Bhai
were swinging the long white hair whisk on either side of Shri ji and were
keeping the portable spit-pots too in their hands.
Shri Keshav das ji and Shri
Laldas ji were busy in writing the Sacred Speech spoken (in verses) by Shri ji.
After writing they recited the same to please Shri ji.
Many Sundersath as attendants to
perform the services were sitting in the left and right sides of Shri ji –their
names can not be described (as said by Shri Laldas ji). Sakhi das was standing
for offering his sacred services duly dedicated at the Lotus Feet of Shri ji.
In the last, when Shri ji
finished His meal, Maya Ram had brought edible gram pieces in a container made
of dried coconut hard cover and Shri ji took up a few pieces very happily to
bless him with His mercy.
Shri Bai Ju Raj brought milk,
curd and Srikhand (a kind of sweet made of sweetened & clotted curd).
After Shri ji took the same, the
residue was then arranged to be distributed as oblation among the Sundersath,
who were glad to be graced by Shri ji (Shri Raj).
Lal Bai rendered the service of the
distribution of oblation. Brahmashristies are the spouses of Shri Raj ji in Paramdham;
hence they were entitled to receive their shares.
After Shri ji finished the meal,
Ram Bai presented the kerchief to Shri ji for cleansing. This was a special
service entrusted to her.
Also Har Bai presented the
kerchief to Shri ji for cleansing His hands. She was glad to perform the
service.
Geega Bhai and Manik brought
cracked and crushed betel nuts: but Chhabildas arranged the same in a plate
beautifully and presented it first of all to his ‘Lord’.
Prahlad Bhai presented the
Betel-leaf preparation having spicy edibles in it. But Kalyan Bhai had been
doing this job earlier than him.
Sampat Bhai accompanied Prahlad
Bhai to perform this service, as that was his daily business to do this.
Shri Bai Ju Raj skillfully
cleansed the betel leaves, then she applied proportionately over them lime
paste, powdered catechu, cloves, mace (Javintree), cracked nutmeg etc. to
present the same to Shri ji.
Mukund das was keeping camphor
container to put the camphor in the betel leaf preparation. He played a main
role in the service of this presentation.
Shri Bai Ju Raj placed the betel
leaves preparation before Shri ji and then handed over to Shri ji with cloves
& cardamom.
Maharaja Chhatrashal placed the
preparation in the mouth of Shri ji with his hand. Shri ji appreciated and
spoke gladly, “The service being rendered by Maharaja Chhatrashal is
incomparable. Nothing is equal to this affection.”
Earlier, Girdhar Moni rendered
this service of betel leaves presentation: Others intended to perform this service;
hence he gave up it at his own.
Then Shri ji took rest for a
while on the bed which was managed well by the attendants, who intended to do
so happily. Shri Raj had talked with the attendants.
Floor carpeting was carried out,
when Shri ji moved to go to Manik’s house. Lachchhi das helped by holding hand
of Shri ji to get up from the bed.
At the same time Maharaja
Chhatrashal arrived and provided his support to Shri ji. The other side hand
was taken by Shri Laldas ji to help Him to walk.
While returning from the house of
Manik, Shri Laldas ji & Premdas had given support to Shri ji. Makrand Bhai
too joined them happily.
Dwarka das as well as Premdas
managed to spread cushioned bed. Other Sundersath assisted them too.
Around the bedstead, floor
carpeting was also spread. Shri ji walked in His style over the carpet. The
Sundersath serviced well.
Those who accompanied Shri ji
were singing the extracts of Vani-verses while moving along with Shri ji.
Brahmashristies attending there
were frequently singing the selected verses of Tartamsagar to please Shri ji,
who too talked with them in melodious voice to make them rejoice.
The Brahmashristies sometimes
were singing the selected chapters of ‘Shri Raas’ (a part of Tartamsagar),
especially those describing the details of ‘Brij-Leela’; but there was no
regularity in this programme.
Sometimes, they were singing the
selected chapters of Tartamsagar describing the ‘Love’ of Paramdham (as they
play with Shri Raj ji). Shri Raj ji was very much pleased to hear them
attentively.
Shri Bai Ju Raj used to place the
pillows on the bed, where Shri ji reposed to take rest after the meal.
Shri ji talked affectionately to
please those who were the attendants. He spoke in His melodious voice to make
them all rejoice.
Swami Shri Laldas ji said, “The
Brahmashristies, whom Shri ji pleased with His talk in melodious voice, experienced
the immense joy: I can not describe this.”
Swami Shri Laldas ji further
added, “The bed sheet was attractive with the ‘Splendour’ of Paramdham’s
redness: the description thereof, too, is not possible.”
The Sundersath were present to
perform their services, hence they were standing surrounding Shri ji. They were
also falling at the Lotus Feet to prostrate to their Souls’ Lord.
Shri ji came up to the bedstead
having walked in the affected merciful style (like coquetry). Shri Bai Ju Raj
prostrated at the Lotus Feet of Shri ji and returned to Her place.
Shri Laldas ji said, “The second
quarter of the Day was over: the third quarter in the afternoon started. The
scheduled programme thereof will be detailed hereafter.”
Shri Laldas ji said, “O Sath ji!
This is very important, which I can not tell. I shall tell you by the Grace of
Shri ji now.”
Prakaran
65 – Chopai 3895.
CHAPTER 66 – TEESRA PAHAR.
Swami Shri Laldas ji then
described about the scheduled programme of the afternoon third quarter related
with the routine of the day spent by Shri ji with the Sundersath at Panna ji. He
said, "O Sath ji! Just listen to with your hearts’ ears - what I say.”
Premdas brought ‘Dhoti’ (a long
piece of cloth) to Shri ji to put on. Nand Ram was standing behind Shri ji with
a cap to cover head and ears.
Shri ji reposed on the bed to
rest. The Sundersath were there for performing the required services. Shri ji
had been talking with them in the melodious voice imparting them the joy of
Paramdham.
Veero Bai started her service to
press lightly the hands and the Lotus Feet of Shri ji. Others prostrated and
returned to their homes.
Jee ji Bai came up and put her
head before Shri ji who stuck it with light blows with love. She was regular to
arrive daily there, when Shri ji was about to bed.
At the same time Radha Bai used
to come. She held the hand of Shri ji to rub it against her head when Shri ji
lay on the bed.
Gul ji and Agardas used to attend
there to press lightly the legs in a comfortable way. They were graced by Shri
ji for the service.
Maya Ram used to sing the
selected chapters of Tartamsagar to please Shri ji who admired his service and
fulfilled his wishes.
Jagannath too sang the chapters
of Tartamsagar mentioning the details of Paramdham and played on a musical
instrument like a fiddle to please Shri ji while He was resting on the bed.
Gajpat Bhai used to sing various
types of songs in his heavy voice: he too sang the verses composed by the
prominent saints in order to fill in the hearts of the audiences with the
immense love towards the Almighty and to breed the feeling of renouncement in
them.
The Sundersath were singing in a
chorus the selected chapters of Tartamsagar to please Shri ji who was resting
on the bed. The extracts quoted from Tartamsagar when sung in chorus could
console the hearts and satisfy the desires of Sundersath-audiences.
Gajpat Bhai dedicated his health,
wealth and wisdom at the Lotus Feet of Shri ji. He surrendered his all sorts of
the belongings leaving nothing with him.
Chandravali Bai sang the songs in
Punjabi tongue. Shri ji was pleased at her service and He admired her with
thanks.
Nandu Bhai used to sing and
fiddle (playing on a sort of violin) for a long when Shri ji was resting on the
bed in the afternoon as well as in the night till the team of Sundersath
arrived to recite the extracts of ‘Vani’ (Tartamsagar). This they did usually
daily.
Badle Bhai with his company
arrived to sing the ‘Vani’. Shambhoo Bhai and Sant Das added the choir with
their melody.
The team was comprised of
Bakhtavar Bhai, Amrita Bhai, Kundali and Sampat Bhai who pleased Shri ji by
singing melodious songs.
All the participants sang ‘Vani’
with their hearts’ inclination to express ‘love’ for the ‘Lord’. Those who
listened to were rejoicing.
The Sundersath in each of their
teams arrived there, turn by turn to sing ‘Vani’, which Shri ji heard very
anxiously and lovingly.
While a few of the Sundersath in
a team sang ‘Vani’, the others were attending to listen to the same because of
their love for the ‘Lord’ of Paramdham, who was there in the person of Shri ji.
Swami Shri Laldas ji said, “The
teams of Sundersath used to arrive there very pleasingly to please Shri ji by
their melodious voice, when they sang ‘Vani’ in their turn.
There were fourteen teams who
were singing the verses of ‘Vani’ (Tartamsagar). The ‘Vani’ means the Sacred
Speech of Shri ji spoken as per the Divine Order of Supreme Lord (Shri Raj ji).
The sacred words of Tartamsagar
were amongst the same ninety thousands words which were heard by Prophet
Mohammed, when He happened to visit Paramdham and meet face to face with the
Lord Supreme: thirty thousand of which He expressed clearly and thirty thousand
spoken to Him by the Lord as secret indications, contained in Quran.
The remaining thirty thousand
Sacred Words which were though heard by Prophet Mohammed and not contained in
Quran were related with the importance of Brahmashristies; who did not descend
on the earth by then. The time of Brahmashristies’ descent was scheduled to be
one thousand and one hundred years after the demise of Prophet Mohammed, when
‘Jaagni’- the Qayamat was due to commence to enlighten the Brahmashristies
first (then the mankind).
Those thirty thousand Sacred
Words had been revealed by Mahamati Shri Prannath ji and contained in
Tartamsagar in order to give an understanding to the Brahmashristies so that
they could get awakened and know about their ‘Selves” and their relation with
the Super Eternal Abode as well as their ‘Lord Supreme’.
Since related with Qayamat (as predicted
in Quran), the Divine Knowledge revealed in Tartamsagar would attract mankind
to get gradually enlightened and have faith in the ‘Lord Supreme’.
The Sacred Words of Tartamsagar
when gone through very attentively make one to possess capacity to have
‘Darshan’ of Shri Raj ji (the Supreme Lord). The credit goes to Mahamati Shri
Prannath ji- the Haqi Appearance of the ‘Lord’.
During the day and night
duration, the teams of Sundersath, turn by turn, sang very gladly by their
hearts the ‘Vani’ (the extracts of Tartamsagar), morning and in the noon.
As per schedule of the day, the
time of deep meditation (as if playing in Paramdham) was fixed in the quarter
around one and half an hour earlier than the Sunset (when four ghati of the day
remained). At that time as well as in the evening at dusk, different teams of
Sundersath had been singing ‘Vani’.
After two quarters of the night
too a team was presenting the verses of Tartamsagar to please Shri ji when He
was on the bed to rest. The names of those Sundersath who participated in the
teams had been mentioned thereafter.
Badle Bhai led a team. In the
team Shambhoo was the main singer. Sometimes, Thanu Bhai as well as Santdas was
also singing in place of Shambhoo Bhai.
Bakhtavar Bhai, Amrita Bhai and
Kundali were also singing the extracts of Tartamsagar (Vani).
In the second team Mana Bai,
Ratni Bai, Asai Bai, Bhago Bai and Dhanbai managed the chorus.
In the third team, Dayali Bai
& Khimoti Bai, Dhanoti Bai took the leading part & Jasia joined the
company.
Lachho Bai led the fourth team.
Asai Bai and Mana Bai were amongst the participants of the team. They had
recognized Shri ji as their Souls’ ‘Lord’; hence they used to sing ‘Vani’ by
their hearts to please Shri ji.
Prem Bai was the main singer in
the fifth team of Jahura, Gauri, Khem Bai and Gulo Bai. They had full faith in
Shri ji.
All the teams were assisted by
Chandravali. Shri ji was always pleased with her (as she used to sing in
Punjabi tongue especially).
While Jijibai led the sixth team,
Badi Jiji, Agari Bai and Mathuri Bai sang the extracts of Tartamsagar.
In the seventh team, Karmeti Bai
was assisted by Harkho Bai, Gor Bai, Lallo Bai, Rathi Bai and Ladeti Bai, who
were singing devotedly to please Shri ji.
Also Lachchho Bai, Lalita Bai, Suva
Bai, Santo Bai, Draupadi Bai, Keshar Bai and Laxmi Bai participated in the
seventh team.
The eighth team was led by Har
Kunwar and assisted by Pankhadi Bai, Sooja Bai and Kashi Bai.
In the ninth team, led by Jassa
Bai, Bhigo, Chingai, Veero Bai and Kishni Bai were also singing the extracts of
Tartamsagar (Vani).
Bhagirathi Bai led the tenth
team. In the team Mohan Dey was the main singer to sing ‘Vani’. Ladeti Bai,
Lachchho, Suva Bai and Jayanti Patelan also made the chorus.
In the same team, Santa Bai
together with Lalee and Lallo Bai was also a singer. They all sang ‘Vani’ to
please Shri ji
Himoti Bai, Goma Bai and Ram Bai
joined the eleventh team of Bhani Bai. Shri ji listened to their Vani-songs and
praised them while comparing their zeal with that of others.
Among the team were Khargo Bai
and Khimoti Bai who sang the Iyets of Quran. Shri ji was pleased and bestowed
honour on them.
In the twelfth team of Khem Bai -
Saho Bai, Hanso Bai, Jadi Bai together with Karma Bai was the singers. Shri ji
was pleased with Karma Bai; hence He made her the chief of the team.
Gulo Bai’s team was the
thirteenth. Jan Bai, Manwati Bai, Devanti Bai, Mania Bai and Gaur Bai were the
singers in the team.
In the teams scheduled to partake
in the afternoon (after two quarters of the day), Shiv Ram was the main singer,
who also joined the team attending there in the evening for the sake of his own
comforts.
Shiv Ram’s brother Sadanand with Amrita
Bhai, Kundali Bhai & Bakhtavar Bhai was also singing ‘Vani’.
Banmali led the fourteenth team.
Santa Bai, Prem Bai, Jeejli Bai and one who hailed from Surat named Ram Bai also joined the team.
They along with all other members of the team partook in their turn in the
evening –fourth quarter of the day and sang ‘Vani’ gladly.
The fourteenth team had been singing the
Sacred Vani during the eighth quarter of the day & also in the night daily
in their turn. The Brahmashristies, who heard them also partook and felt
rejoicing.
Others who were the residents of
Panna as well as of the adjoining places also used to arrive there for
‘Darshan’ of Shri ji and stayed in Shri Bangala ji. Since most of them had no
relation (by their Souls) with Paramdham, hence they heard the verses of
‘Vani’, but did not pay heed to comprehend the inherent theme. They were so
deprived of the Grace of the Supreme Lord.
Generally no body liked to be
condemned but they did not acquire knowledge and faith in Divine Wisdom
(Tartamsagar). In absence of which they were deprived of the real joy, hence
they ignored to adhere to the Divine message.
Such people very often possessed
the devil-mindedness due to which they remained attached to the illusionary
world and the illusive ‘Maya’ led them to get badly involved in it. Hence they
would always be unable to comprehend the Divine Message.
It may happen that the people not
related with Paramdham might attend to listen to the discourses with those whom
they are friendly, but they would not get interest in the Divine Discourses as
they did not possess capacity in their heart to understand the ‘reality’.
But on the other hand, the Divine
Souls of Paramdham and Farishte of Akshhardham were ever graced by the
Almighty. The Gabriel Angel would always favour them and make them able to
reach Eternal Abode of Akshhar: Brahmashristies, of course, would have their
access upto Paramdham – Lahoot.
For the sake of Brahmashristies
the Supreme Lord has created this worldly drama and for their sake only, HE
sent Mohammed Paigambar with HIS Divine Message.
The Sacred Words spoken by the
‘Lord’ to Prophet Mohammed have been contained in Quran, but Jeevashristies
(Aam Khas) not related with Paramdham have no concern to read and understand
the Divine Message, nor have they ears to enable them to listen to the Divine
call. Brahmashristies only are concerned to read, comprehend the theme and
recognize the ‘Lord’ of Paramdham.
The Divine Knowledge contained in
Quran reveals the identity of Brahmashristies and their relations with
Paramdham: as such the same is meant for Momin – Brahmashristies and not for
others. The ‘Lord Supreme’ has been merciful to bless Brahmashristies (HIS
Anand Part) to send, in advance, HIS Sacred Words per Messenger (Mohammed
Paigambar) for the knowledge and to enable them to attain the state of getting
enlightened.
Five kinds of Gracious boons have
been awarded by the ‘Lord Supreme’ to Brahmashristies while they descended on
the Earth to watch the worldly drama – the first is the Divine Wisdom; the
second is named the ‘Zeal’ by which they possess to comprehend the Divine
Message and get inclined to the Lotus Feet.
The third award signified the
‘Appearance of Asrapheel angel, who descended with the intellect of
‘Indestructible God’ –Akshhar from the Eternal Abode. He comprehended the
secrets of the indications of Quran with the company of Brahmashristies and
revealed the same to the world.
His main job of revealing the
secrets of Quran has been indicated to blow the trumpet (of Divine Wisdom) as
per the Divine Order of the ‘Lord Supreme’, awaiting which He took the pose of
readiness with His all kinds of faculties inherited by the Lord.
The fourth boon is the ‘Order’ of
the Lord Supreme. Accordingly Brahmashristies – Momin have been enlightened
after they watched the worldly drama and achieved the state of ‘Jaagni’ by
which they felt their conscious presence in Paramdham (while they were staying
at Parna ji (Panna) with Shri Raj ji –Shri ji).
The fifth gracious boon infers
the Souls’ Faith in the ‘Lord’. Mahamati Shri Prannath ji –the ‘Advent of
Vijayabhinandan Buddha Nishkalank’ with all the gracious ‘Boons’ appeared along
with the Brahmashristies of Paramdham and He accomplished the ‘Divine Job’ of
‘Jaagni’ of Brahmashristies (for which purpose the Universe has been created
the third time).
The Supreme Lord has been ever
merciful to bless the Brahmashristies whose ‘Super Excellent’ importance has
been described in the Holy Scriptures of the Hindus and Muslim. These Divine
Souls have been granted the special boon of the hearty faith in the Supreme
Lord (as they are the ‘Anand-part’ too).
As quoted in Tartamsagar, “Jaa
Kaaran Maya Rachi, Shastra bhi taa Kaaran.” This clearly means that the main
purpose of the creation of ‘Maya’ –the illusionary world is to let
Brahmashristies watch the drama of ‘Maya’ and the Holy Scriptures containing
the sacred Message of the ‘Lord’ have been worked by ‘Prophets and Saints’ for
conveying to them the Divine Message.
‘Brahma’ has been defined in Upanishads
(the explanatory books of Vedas) to be one only; except HIM nothing exists.
Although the illusive world ruled by ‘Maya’ and the existence of duality is
apparent in the world, but Brahmashristies –the ‘Anand-part’ of the Lord
Supreme (Sat-Chit-Anand) gave a proper explanation of the Unique (oneness) of
Brahma and the transitory and dreamy existence of ‘Maya’ – the illusion only.
The illusion is always imaginary having no ‘reality’.
The secrets contained in Vedanta
and Quran say about the super excellent importance of Momin – Brahmashristies.
They possess capacity to comprehend the secrets and to reveal the super most
knowledge regarding the existence of Super Indestructible Godhead – Haqiqat:
and the relative recognition of the Divine Souls and the Lord – Marfat.
The prophecy made regarding the
‘Qayamat’- ‘Jaagni’ has the relation with Brahmashristies: the Holy Scriptures witnesses
the same and reveals the Excellency of Brahmashristies.
‘Qayamat’ – the Ultimate Day of
Justice infers ‘Jaagni’- which means the ‘Brahmashristies would get enlightened
with the ‘Divine Wisdom’. They being asleep due to ignorance of Maya would get
awakened. Thus the ignorant souls would get up. The dead would get alive.
To fulfil the purpose of
‘Jaagni’, ‘Nijanand Sampradaay’ – the religion of Mankind has been established.
The Divine Knowledge would in due course spread by making proper interpretations
of the Holy Scriptures. That is why, the Lord Supreme appeared in person and
bestowed the Divine Wisdom -–Tartam (Nijnam Shri Krishna ji – Anaadi
Aksharaateet) upon Sadguru Dhani Shri Devchandra ji.
Swami Shri Laldas ji said, “What
more should be detailed here? The creation of Universe, the sacred words
contained in the Holy scriptures, the struggles in this worldly atmosphere –
all these have relations with the ‘descent’ of ‘Brahmashristies’ on the Earth
from Paramdham. The whole world would behold the ‘Jaagni’ at the appropriate
time gradually.”
Swami Shri Laldas ji while
closing the chapter said, “O Sath ji! Please listen to the discourses in
respect of the Divine Knowledge of the Supreme Lord, very attentively. Those
Divine Souls who got enlightened have achieved the state of excellent
importance as has been described here.”
Prakaran 66 – Chopai 3967.
CHAPTER 67 – CHAUTHA PAHAR
Swami Shri Laldas ji in this
chapter said, “Now the scheduled programme of the fourth quarter of the Day related
with the ‘Leela’ of Parna ji, where Sundersath experienced the rejoicing of
Paramdham, is described: the same may please be adhered to with your open ears and
conceived by hearts.”
In the third quarter, afternoon
Shri ji took rest on the bed; then the attendants assigned with the services of
the fourth quarter arrived. Chhabildas brought water in a pot.
Shri ji gurgled and spat in the
open basin put in front of Him by Shankar das assisted by Sant das too.
At the same time Manik Bhai
rushed to show his readiness to perform his services. He was ever ready for any
kind of services, hence he requested for the same.
Shri ji relieved all those
Sundersath, who had been in the afternoon service. Then Shankar das swung the
peacock-feathered whisk very affectionately.
Shri Keshav das ji too was always
present to perform the services. He also swung the peacock-feathered whisk of
golden handle simultaneously and affectionately.
Vallabh das and Ganga
das were free from the riddles of the dream world and they used to be present
at all the times to perform the sacred services.
Similarly, Bihari das also used
to be present near Shri ji for performing the services as asked for.
Shri Laldas ji and Makrand Bhai
had been in service while Premdas adorned Shri ji with the Royal dress and also
tied the laces thereof Nand Ram adorned Shri ji with a beautiful golden band
over His head: then Mukund das put another silken cloth piece to decorate like
a crown over the head of Shri ji.
Additionally Nand Ram, who was
too assisted by Ram Chandra, also adorned a special type of golden ornament to
Shri ji on His head.
Then a cotton piece of cloth with
its golden edge was wrapped like broad belt around the waist. A beautiful
cotton blanket, which was beautifully embroidered, was put on over the long
coat-type Royal dress already adorned to Him.
Bihari das arranged velvet cloth
pillows over the bed. Some time ago, he performed this service with the
assistance of Bande Farras.
Afterwards, Megha Bhai and Sukali
joined Bihari das whereas Vishwambhar Bhai replaced Govind Das who had been in
the company of Bihari das to perform this sacred service.
Vanmali das prepared sandalwood
pulpit (special elevated seat) and handed it over to Bihari das, who provided
cushioned bed and pillows on it to make it comfortable to Shri ji to sit.
Dhanji Bhai together with Vanmali
das used to sing the selected chapters of Tartamsagar and simultaneously
carried out the job of providing bed, pillows etc. on the pulpit.
Occasionally Shri ji went to the
house of Ghanshyam das in the evening after He got up from the bed; then Lal
Bai carpeted the floor from the bedstead to the house of Ghanshyam Bhai.
Kishni Bai spread the new piece
of carpet. While Shri ji was walking over it, Manik Bai used to provide canopy
made of beautiful piece of cloth having swinging silky bunches decorating it.
Lachchhi das was supporting Shri
ji by his hands to get up, while Shri Laldas ji helped Shri ji to return.
Premdas was having a small box
hanged with his shoulder having razor etc. for shaving. He used to talk to
please Shri ji.
When returned from the house of
Ghanshyam Bhai, Shri ji came over to sit on His seat, which was already
arranged with pillows by Bihari das.
Shri ji walked with His style
pleasingly and affected mercifully. He arrived at His seat on the pulpit, which
was well cushioned with two pillows on either side.
Shri ji walked over the carpet
and arrived in Shri Bangala ji, and then He occupied His seat.
To wash the Lotus Feet of Shri
ji, Chhabildas fetched lukewarm water. Mukund das washed one of the Lotus Feet
very carefully and lovingly with his heart’s attachment.
Premdas washed the second one and
Shri Keshav das ji de-moistened both the Lotus Feet of Shri ji with a kerchief.
Again, the Lotus Feet were cleansed by towel by Narayan das.
Banmali das used to squeeze the
lower parts of the legs below knees comfortably to soothe Him. Shri Laldas ji
too assisted him with his hearty attachment.
Nand Ram kept the portable wash
hand basin with him. The oblation of the sacred water was distributed among
Sundersath by Shankar das.
Chhabildas who poured clean and
lukewarm water washed both hands of Shri ji. Premdas was cleansing the hands
with kerchief, which was his pious service.
Chhabildas then presented coffee,
which Shri ji took as usual. Thereafter Manik Bhai provided clove, cardamom
etc.
Around the chair of Shri were standing
Ambo, Guari, Manvanti and Godavari with their
devoted attitude.
Durgi Bai, Lalita, Suabai,
Khemai, Sham Bai, Lachchho Bai, Mangamta Bai, Maten Bai and Jahoor Bai.
Thus all these Brahmashristies
were present there around the chair for the service. Shankar and Mathura Bhai
were singing the verses of ‘Vani’ and Ganga Das and Bihari das was repeating.
Kashi Bhai supported Shri ji to
get up from the chair and sit on the throne: Onkar Bhai adorned Shri ji with a
crest over the cap.
Swami Shri Laldas ji said, “The
Sundersath had experienced consciously the joy of Paramdham vividly in Shri Bangala
ji, which Shri ji granted to them by His Grace: the same can not be spoken in
words. Shri ji enunciated His identity of being the ‘Lord Supreme’ and let the
Sundersath then enjoy with their ‘Lord’ as if they were in Paramdham.
Vallabh Das was standing behind
Shri ji with the staff of a large canopy-type Umbrella in his hands, which was
hovering over the head of Shri ji, while Shri Laldas ji attempted to give
support to Shri ji when He intended to get up from the chair. His services were
laudable.
Manik Bhai used to bind one edge
with ribbon of the cushion of the pulpit, while Lal Bai tied two edges and
Ghanshyam Bhai tied the last one.
Phool Bai, who hailed from Sudamapur
(Pore Bandar) also, performed the same service with Manik Bhai. She used to
join others in all kinds of pious services in order to please her ‘Lord’.
Buddha Sen Bhai was keeping with
him all sorts of adjuncts made of gold & silver to decorate the throne. He
used to bring any thing as and when required: thus he was always prepared to
perform the pious service.
Buddha Sen was also keeping
plenty of ink, which he provided to those who required it for writing the
Sacred Speech, Shri ji used to dictate as Sacred part of ‘Tartamsagar’.
With the help of Shri Laldas ji,
Shri ji occupied the throne. He walked in His style to attract the attention of
on-lookers to reach the throne from the chair. Shri Keshav das ji and Shankar
das were standing on the either sides with peacock-feathered whisks.
Since Brahmashristies descended
from Paramdham, it was four ghati (about one and half an hour) to dusk, Shri ji
and Sundersath usually at the very time daily talk themselves to return to
Paramdham. (The Brahmashristies have appeared on the earth for a fraction of
the moment (the duration of time in Paramdham). Not even a moment elapsed since
they descended and would get up instantaneously in Mool-Milava, after watching
the worldly drama.
In Shri Bangala ji daily at that
time, Sundersath sat on the either sides of Shri ji to listen to the Divine
Discourses. Shri ji (Shri Raj ji) attracted the attention of Sundersath in
order to hold their hands to make them feel their conscious presence in
Paramdham (while He preached).
Maharaja Shri Chhatrashal too
arrived there in Shri Bangala ji usually to perform his pious services, as he
was ready to do any thing.
Shakundal –the Divine Soul of
Paramdham who appeared in the person of Maharaja Shri Chhatrashal on the earth
dedicated by his health, wealth and wisdom while prostrating at the Lotus Feet
of Mahamati Shri Prannath ji & performed the pious services to please Him
(as he recognized Shri ji to be Shri Raj ji). Hence he was blessed and was called
the prominent person amongst Sundersath.
At half past 4 O’clock in the
evening, Gokul represented the Sundersath and requested Shri ji to bless them
all to experience the pleasure of Paramdham vividly by His Sacred Speech, as it
was the time of deep meditation (Chitvani).
He requested, “O My Lord (Shri
Raj)! Kindly drive us away from this worldly drama at the earliest. We are
fully satisfied as we watched it to our entire curiosity: We have no desire to
continue here any more.”
Shri Raj (the ‘Lord’ of
Paramdham, who was there in the person of Shri ji) listened to the prayer of
Sundersath happily and He acceded to bless Sundersath by His Grace.
Sundersath presented their ‘one’
request, while Shri Raj ji granted them two boons –the experience of the
worldly drama as well as the experience of the ecstasy of Paramdham while still
in ‘Maya’.
For security purpose Murlidhar
kept weapons like sword and other defensive devices. Earlier, Bhikharidas kept
the same for a few days as well as Girdhar held them with him for some days.
Then Shri Laldas ji was deputed
for security and keeping the weapons. Next Santdas was ready to keep them;
sometimes the second Bhikharidas too did the same service. Lastly, Buddha Sen armed
himself.
Surat Singh kept the bow and
arrows and Ghanshyam Bhai kept the spear. Thus these warriors were performing
their services.
Shri Bai Ju Raj handed over the
ornaments to Makrand Bhai to adorn Shri ji. This was his daily service.
In a large silver plate (Thal)
Makrand Bhai brought the ornaments to adorn Shri ji. Maharaja Chhatrashal adorned
the same to Mahamati Shri Prannath ji.
He adorned Shri ji with two
pearl-beads, a golden necklace, and two diamond-stud golden chains.
The valuable gems were stud with
a nice piece of ruby in a locket, which Maharaja Chhatrashal adorned Shri ji.
The beauty of the same was beyond description.
A special ornament named
Chandrahaar as well as Champakali was then adorned and over it a golden bead
was also put on, which doubled the beauty.
A pearl-bead having ruby pieces
with the pearls and a golden necklace were increasing the beauty of other
ornaments, which were put on by Shri ji as adorned to Him by Maharaja
Chhatrashal.
Besides, the turban put on by
Shri ji was decorated with an ornament wrapped around it, which gave an
appearance of a series of lotus flowers –threaded with pearls and a beautiful
diamond piece on its top.
Maharaja also adorned Shri ji
with a bangle-type ornament stud with ruby and diamonds in Shri ji’s wrist.
So many rings were kept in a
plate, out of which only those that were suitable were put on by Shri ji.
Swami Shri Laldas ji said, “O
Sath ji! The above description is related with the fourth quarter of the Day.
Now dedicate yourself physically and mentally and listen to the scheduled
programme of the fifth quarter i.e. the first quarter of the Night –just after
the dusk.
Prakaran – 67 Chopai – 4028
CHAPTER 68 – PAANCHMA PAHAR
Swami Shri Laldas ji now narrated
the schedule of programme of the first quarter of the Night, just after the
evening, which was the fifth quarter reckoned from the Sunrise . He said, “Let me say about the fifth
quarter: Shri ji usually sat daily at that time on the pulpit.”
Lachchho Bai prayed, “O Raj! On
what spot of the bank of Jamuna ji (the Holy River
–flowing in the east of the Royal Mansion-Rang Mahal of Paramdham) shall we
reach to play?” Shri ji replied, “Today we shall go to ‘Paat Ghaat’ (which
exists just in front of the Royal Mansion of Paramdham)”
The seat of the pulpit was well
cushioned as arranged by Bihari das, who spread bed cushion, bed sheet and well
sewn cotton blanket, pillows duly covered by velvet cloth.
Adjoining to the pulpit, another
bed was also kept ready. Bihari das stretched the bed sheet corners of all the
four sides, very well to make it look attractive.
To ignite the lamps nearby, Manik
Bai and Karmeti Bai were ever ready. They pleased Shri Raj ji by their pious
services – of all sorts according to their best of the efforts.
Shri Bai Ju Raj arrived in Shri Bangala
ji in a palanquin. She talked with Shri Raj in a very sweet and melodious voice
and requested for the supper.
For the dining purpose, Mathuri
Bai and Himoti Bai brought a large plate (Thal). For serving vegetables etc.
sufficient number of bowls was also arranged in the large dish.
Both Maharaja Shri Chhatrashal
and Shri Bai Ju Raj were sitting near Shri ji to arrange for the various kinds
of foods. Manik Bai then cleansed the hands of Shri ji, before He started to
take meal.
Maharaja provided the towel for
drying the hands. He too covered his mouth with a piece of cloth in order to
pay respects to Shri ji and then managed to present and serve the foods
himself.
Swami Shri Laldas ji described,
“Shri ji ate very well all kinds of foods – which I am unable to say. Every
kind of food was very nice including various kinds of the vegetables.
Bihari das too having covered his
mouth with a piece of cloth was serving Shri ji with various kinds of foods,
while other Sundersath were also present to perform the services.
Maharaja Shri Chhatrashal sat
there near Shri Raj holding the ‘Thal’ (the large plate in his hands to please
Shri ji with his service. Shri ji used to talk him in sweet tone.
While taking meal, Shri ji used
to talk every body in a pleasant mood. He was also pleased with those who sang
the verses of Tartamsagar whom Shri ji offered the sacred oblation of His meal
for distribution among all Sundersath.
Shri Bai Ju Raj used to talk Shri
Raj pleasingly. Shri Raj then asked Her to come down and sit on the pulpit with
Him.
Chhabildas then presented the
drinking water. He served the same in a golden pot for drinking.
Chhabildas was also supplying
special spicy foods, which he usually brought from his house. Shri ji also took
the various kinds of sweets pleasingly.
After Shri ji finished His
supper, some Sundersath removed the plate. Maharaja Chhatrashal served Shri ji
with water to wash the hands and mouth then he cleansed them.
After that Shri ji used to take a
cupful Coffee, which was arranged by Manik Bai: Ganga
das, an old man, presented the same and handed it over to Shri ji.
Kalyan Bai served Shri ji with
betel leaves with lime paste, catechu, betel nut, clove preparation. Shri Bai
Ju Raj usually carried out this pious service, but she assigned it to her maid
assistant, Kalyan Bai.
Shri Bai Ju Raj was doing the
work of preparation of ‘Paan Beeda’ (betel leaf preparation), while Maharaja
Chhatrashal too brought one from his side and presented to Shri ji. Manik Bhai
presented the cracked betel nuts to Shri ji assisted by Chhabildas and Majhli
Rani (wife of Maharaja Shri Chhatrashal).
Many Sundersath brought flower
beads and crest to adorn Shri ji. They disclosed their names when they
prostrated at Shri ji’s Lotus Feet and presented the flower beads. They again prostrated
at the Lotus feet before leaving the place.
Shambhoo Bhai, Oka Bhai and Jasia
Bhai brought the crests and presented to Shri ji, who accepted their offerings
pleasingly.
Maharaja Shri Chhatrashal also
prepared a flower crest with his hands beautifully and handed it over to Shri
ji, who put it on one side of His turban, inclined a little to one side to give
a nice look.
Mukund das brought golden crest
decorated with beautiful bird-feathers, which wore an attractive look when Shri
ji put on the same.
From the side of Maharaja’s wife
flower beads and crests were presented daily to Shri ji; Maharaja used to adorn
the same to Shri ji along with other golden ornaments, very devotedly.
Swami Shri Laldas ji narrated
that the description of the beauty of that occasion when Shri ji sat on the
throne could not be pronounced in words. Aaiji also waived the
peacock-feathered whisk to pay the honour.
Maharaja Shri Chhatrashal waived
the long and white hair-whisk with his both hands very tranquilly. Seikhbadal
and Lal Khan too were waiving the air-devices (hand fans) standing on either
sides of Shri ji.
Sometimes, Shri Keshava das ji
and Shri Laldas ji requested about their wish, while they were standing behind
Shri ji, “We beg your kind permission to allow us read Quran and Hadeesh.”
The team interested in
deep-meditation offered some pieces of sweets for light refreshment to Shri ji.
They recited verses and prose regarding ‘Sanjha ko Awsar’ to please Shri
ji.
Mana Bai requested Shri ji to
describe about the details of ‘Shri Raj Shyama ji’s Attire’ and ornaments that
are worn in Paramdham: She spoke, “I was absent when you described earlier
about the same.”
Shri ji acceded her request and
spoke, “Shri Shyama ji, the Better Half of the ‘Lord’ has been wearing the long
garment of Sanguine-colour (between red and orange), the blouse is of black
colour but embroidered, the under and lower garment like a petty coat is blue.
She has attired very beautifully.
Shri Raj ji (the ‘Lord) has been
wearing the long coat type garment of white colour having its golden edge in
the bottom and the turban of Sanguine colour. A long piece of cloth is hanging
over the neck and shoulders, which is of sky-blue colour. The large kerchief
wrapped around the waist is blue as well as yellow. The trousers are of saffron
colour.”
Shri ji further added Navrang Bai
has been dancing before Shri Raj Shyama ji. She has been wearing the
embroidered Sari (the long garment) of black colour, the bra of dark green
colour and the petty coat type garment is made of five coloured pieces.
Her trousers have blue colour.
She has been dancing in this type of attire. The other damsels living in
Paramdham have attired themselves in the same fashion as that of Shri Shyama
ji. Their appearance is also very attractive.”
Mahamati Shri Prannath ji in
compliance with the Divine Order of the “Lord’ was giving the description of
the attire and the garments of Shri Raj & Shri Shyama ji as well as other Brahmashristies daily
morning & evening to all those present in Shri Bangala ji as audiences.
The adorable appearances of the
Divine Personalities happened twice or thrice in the world: the description
given in the Hindus Scriptures is related with the Trio-Gods (Brahmaa, Vishnu
& Mahesh).
The Jeevashristies in the
Universe know about ‘Lord Vishnu’ whose Abode is Baikunth Dham, but it is
‘Destructible’. Ishwarshristies – Farishte have adored the ‘Indestructible God’
also called ‘Akshhar’, whose Abode is ‘Eternal’ called ‘Akshhardham’ –
Zabroot’.
Mahamati Shri Prannath ji has
given vivid description of ‘Super Indestructible – Godhead’ – known as
‘Aksharaateet’ of Paramdham (Arsh-Azeem). Mahamati Shri Prannath ji spoke about
HIM with HIS Divine Order and the Brahmashristies heard with their immense
faith.
Those Brahmashristies or others
only could listen to what was spoken by Shri ji, who adhered to His preaching
by their hearts’ ears as well as those, who dedicated by their physical bodies
at the Lotus Feet of Shri ji after recognizing Him as their ‘Lord’.
Those persons other than the
Brahmashristies would not be interested to listen to the preaching, even if
such people become attendants. Since not interested, they would not listen to
comprehend it.
Brahmashristies only, who hailed
from Paramdham, paid their attention: others who were not concerned remained
involved in the worldly affairs. They being the ignorant possessed the blind
eyes.
As per the ‘Plan’ of the ‘Lord
Supreme’ the secrets that indicated in Quran (the Sacred Words of the ‘Lord’)
were to be reveled at the occasion of the commencement of ‘Qayamat’ – ‘Jaagni’.
When Brahmashristies appeared by their consciousness on the earth for watching
the drama of the illusionary world: the ‘Lord Supreme’ also appeared in the person
of Mahamati Shri Prannath ji with the purpose of making ‘Group-Jaagni’ of
Brahmashristies; hence Mahamati Shri Prannath ji revealed the secrets and then
the ‘Group-Jaagni’ of the Brahmashristies commenced: but the unconcerned human
beings did not adhere to the preaching and they still remained involved in the
worldly affairs because of the influence of Kaliyug.
Shri Laldas ji described that the
time of ‘Aarti’ became due and the Sundersath also gathered in Shri Bangala ji
to participate: but the description of the glamorous atmosphere in Shri Bangala
ji of the occasion was not possible to be pronounced in words.
At that occasion, Shri Bai Ju Raj
came up in Shri Bangala ji. Bihari das then arranged additional cushioned seat
on the same pulpit for Shri Bai Ju Raj by the side of Shri ji. Shri Raj Shyama
ji were sitting together.
The Sundersath in-group or
individually performed ‘Aarti’ with a great devotion and respective love
amongst themselves.
Dagda Bhai kept many small
cymbals (musical instruments of Bronze plates to strike each other). He brought
the same at the spot of ‘Aarti’ to be played on by those who were interested to
play on. Bhikhari das Bhai used to dance there wearing a beautiful look.
Some of the Sundersath were
waiving the long and white hair whisks standing on the either side. Earlier,
Lal Bai performed this service, and then Govind das did it. Sometimes Shiv Ram also rendered the same.
Harnam Das Bhai, Seikhbadal and
Lal Khan too accomplished this service some time back. Lastly those who used to
perform did it.
Mukund das was singing the verses
related with the ‘Aarti’, whom other Sundersath also joined. He was punctual to
attend the ‘Aarti-function’. All Sundersath were rejoicing with him.
Binda Bhai, Kannad Bhai, Ganga
Ram, Agardas as well as Badri das were also singing ‘Aarti-verses’.
Seldom, Uttam das used to beat a
large cylindrical drum-type musical instrument (Mradung) that, other Sundersath
associated with other instruments like small cymbals and small drums.
Parmanand Bhai specialized in
singing stood in the first row to sing ‘Aarti-verses’. He used to show
expression of his heart while singing according as he had faith in respect of
his ‘Lord’ by his heart.
Swami Shri Laldas ji described
that all Sundersath assembled in Shri Bangala ji to participate the
‘Aarti-function’. They stood on the either side and used to play on various
musical instruments; they experienced a great deal of happiness.
The devotion of Brahmashristies,
revealed in the melody of ‘Aarti-verses sung in-group by them was so attractive
to mend the mentality of devil-minded people that they feared of the devotees
for they possessed capacity to impress others too. These devil-mended people
intended to join the pious party of the devotees -Brahmashristies.
Megha Bhai spread a small square
cushioned piece of carpet upon which Shri Bai Ju Raj stood to perform the
‘Aarti’ ceremony.
Before starting ‘Aarti’, Hiraman
used to spread a small sheet ahead of Shri Bai Ju Raj on which rice pieces were
shed in order to adore Shri ji. Other Sundersath too shed the rice over it.
Shri Bai Ju Raj adored Shri ji
with sandalwood paste to make a mark on the forehead together with rice pieces
to honour Him: Raghav Bhai put the kerchief on Shri ji’s head. He always
performed this kind of service devotedly.
In Shri Bangala ji, Shri Bai Ju
Raj used to perform ‘Aarti’ very happily: Rukmani Bai brought the essentials
for performance of ‘Aarti’.
The different size of silver
vases, five in number were arranged one upon the other, pierced through by a
silver rod to form the apparatus of ‘Aarti’ that contained thirty-two ignited
cotton-pieces and ghee around each vase. Shri Bai Ju Raj was holding the same
in Her hands to perform ‘Aarti’: the light emitted by these ignited lamps
delighted every body.
Lachchho Bai used to sing ‘Aarti’
song. Very often she sang, “Kanchan Thal Chahun dish Diwala, Deepak Jot Prakash
– Karat Aarti Shri Jiyavar Rani, Anand Ang Ulash.”
The other associates of Shri Bai
Ju Raj named Ambo etc. also performed ‘Aarti’ with Her, standing behind Shri
Bai Ju Raj. One side of her was standing Maten Bai and the side Bhani Bai, who
were singing ‘Aarti’.
Also other maids of Shri Bai Ju
Raj keeping ignited lamps in plates in their hands accompanied Shri Bai Ju Raj
and occupied the entire space in Shri Bangala ji to perform ‘Aarti’ along with
Her. She was standing in the first row ahead of other associates & maids.
Swami Shri Laldas ji described
that at the time of ‘Aarti’ function, Brahmashristies present in Shri Bangala
ji were fully devoted. They experienced that ‘Aarti’ function was being held in
Paramdham, where ‘Shri Indravati’ –the devoted and loving spouse of Shri Raj ji
was performing ‘Aarti’ in the presence of all twelve thousand Divine Souls, as
if She held in Her hands the golden and large plate (Thal) containing a number
of lamps emitting vast light. She was rejoicing by heart.
In front of Her (Shri Indravati),
the Royal Couple of Shri Raj and Shri Shyama ji was seated in the throne (in
Paramdham); looking at them the hearts of the seers were filled with immense
joy. The beauty of the Couple was attractive.
While Shri Indravati was performing
‘Aarti’, Her associates – Brahmashristies were dancing in joy and singing
melody: the associates who were uttering ‘Jai-Jai’ played on all sorts of
musical instruments.
These Divine Souls were offering
pearls, camphor etc. to adore the Royal couple: Shri Indravati being a lovely
spouse of Shri Raj ji dedicated herself by heart at the Lotus Feet of Shri Raj
ji.
After ‘Aarti’ Rukmani put a large
plate (Thal) before Shri ji who offered the ‘Paan-Beeda’ on the plate to be
distributed among the Sundersath.
Kalyan Bhai and Prahlad Bhai used
to put the ‘Paan-Beeda’ in the plates of all those who participated with Shri
Bai Ju Raj in ‘Aarti’.
Thus daily ‘Aarti’ function was
celebrated in Shri Bangala ji in the evening, where the ecstasy of Paramdham
was showered. The concerned and unconcerned people also attended the function
to get the blessings of Shri ji and fill up their hearts with His preaching in
order to purify their hearts and minds and bow to the ‘Lord Supreme’ (Shri Raj
ji) of Paramdham.
Surajmani Bhai, after ‘Aarti’
used to sing the verses of Tartamsagar: then he explained the interpretations
thereof stating that ‘Mahamati Shri Prannath ji’ is our ‘Lord Supreme’ of
Paramdham. By remembering Him and pronouncing His pious name, the human beings
find relief from the intricacy of ‘Maya’. Shri ji always blessed those who
remembered Him and believed so.
Surajmani further explained,
“Aksharaateet – the ‘Lord Supreme’ of Paramdham is here in the person of
Mahamati Shri Prannath ji. He has been representing Prophet Mohammed – Imam Menhdi,
Issah – Rooh-Allah (since Shri Devchandra ji, the Divine Soul of Shri Shyama ji
had His Abode in the heart of Shri ji), & He fulfils the ambitions of
Sundersath.
Thus the others too sang the
selected verses of Tartamsagar. All were happy to participate and join
Surajmani.
In this way, Sundersath were
enjoying by participating in the ‘Aarti’ function daily in Bangala ji. Their
melodious voice and the exclamation ‘Jai! Jai!’ filled the atmosphere where
Sundersath experienced the ecstasy of Paramdham –nothing parallel in the world.
The fifth quarter of the Day,
which was the first quarter of the night, witnessed the occasion of the extreme
pleasure. Swami Shri Laldas ji said, “Some one comes-some body goes. Their
pleasure has no bounds to be described.”
“On the throne, the Royal Couple
of Shri ji and Shri Bai Ju Raj (Shri Raj Shyama ji) had their excellence. The
details of the splendour of their presence on the throne can not be spoken in
words.”
Swami Shri Laldas ji while
closing the chapter of the schedule programme of the fifth quarter of the Day
described, “O Sath ji! Now in the sixth quarter of the Day, the programme of
the Divine Preaching began. You all must adhere to the same.” Shri Laldas ji had taken his seat just in
front of the throne where Shri ji sat to preach.
Prakaran 68 – Chopai 4105
CHAPTER 69 – CHHATWAN PAHAR
Swami Shri Laldas ji described
the schedule of the sixth quarter during which Shri Raj ji (Shri ji) began to
preach the Sundersath: the enlightened Divine Souls gathered in Shri Bangala ji
to listen to Him.
The Sundersath, who were the
attendants too to perform the various services, were present in Shri Bangala ji
to listen to the Divine Preaching. Shri Keshav das was reading the sacred
volume of Tartamsagar and the attendants who were the audiences experienced the
ecstasy of Paramdham. Shri Laldas ji said, “The Sundersath’s experience was
beyond my capacity to describe in words.”
While Shri Laldas ji was sitting
there to read Quran & Hadeesh, Gokul das was reading Tartamsagar to please
Shri ji.
The discourses delivered by
Mahamati Shri Prannath ji were related with the ‘Oneness’ of the Almighty
–Super Indestructible Godhead. The melodious voice of Shri ji was so attractive
that the audiences forgot their presence in the dramatic world and experienced
their conscious presence in Paramdham.
Murlidhar, who had his seat just
in front of Shri ji in the first row in Shri Bangala ji, was so alert and
attentive to listen to the preaching that he looked at the Glory of the face of
Shri Raj –Mahamati Shri Prannath ji incessantly without any fatigue.
On one side Maharaja Shri
Chhatrashal along with Diwan Devkaran and behind them Durgbhan Singh were
having their seats to adhere to the discourses. The ‘Lord Supreme’ had blessed
them by HIS Grace; hence they were happy. Then Chandra Hans and Shahroop also
arrived there and sat to listen to the preaching. They said, “The beauty of the
Royal Couple of Shri ji and Shri Bai Ju Raj was unique”.
And Kishori Bhai arrived there
along with Diwan Devkaran to listen to the discourses. He also used to perform
the services of sweeping the entire surface of Shri Bangala ji.
Amanrai, Parvat Singh, Narayan
das, Shakti Singh and Jagat Singh were also adhering to the discourses.
Durgbhan used to present two
pieces of clove as well as one rupee daily as his share in the fund of the
management of group-dinner.
Tularam too arrived in Shri Bangala
ji to pay holy visit and sat there to listen to Shri ji’s preaching.
To adhere to the discourses,
Premji Bhai, Pitambar Bhai, Mukund das, Gokul das and Jayanti Bhai were the
special attendants amongst the audiences.
Among the audiences were Surat
Singh, Makrand Bhai, Mohan Bhai and Girdhar Bhai. Mohan Bhai. Girdhar Bhai was very attentive to pay his
attention.
Also Seikhbadal, Lal Khan, Mihin
Pathan & Avval Khan attended.
Noor Mohammed, Chanchal Bhai,
Dayaram, Guljee Bhai & Natha Bhai were so attentive to listen to the
preaching that they did not care to sit, but remained standing at their places.
The others were Tek Chand,
Dundrai, Pokhar das & Govind Das who also sat there among the audiences.
Keshav das Modi, the second
Murlidhar, Mavji Bhai and Mohan Das,
Mool ji Mama, Jayanti Kaka,
Santdas & Ganga Ram were also amongst the audiences paying attention.
Ghanshyam Bhai arrived daily but
Nahna Bhai sometimes. Chhatibhai and Sukhdeo also arrived.
Niranjan das and Narsingh das,
Makkey Bhai, Shahman Bhai, Singha Bhai, Ghasi Bhai, and Brij Bhushan along with
Dhana Bhai were also amongst the audiences.
The others were Veerji Modi,
Lachchhi Shukla and Midai Bhai, who were regular and they found repose only
after listening to the discourses of Mahamati Shri Prannath ji.
Bihari Farras, Bihari Zhadula
& Bhagwan das listened to the concerning chapters of Quran from a distant
place, where they were standing.
There were others, Banmalidas
Mama, Dhanji Bhai, Lalmani Bhai, Shankardas & Narayan das sitting there.
Asaoo Bhai, Agartdas, Gobardhan,
Lachchhi das & Binda Bhai were sitting there to listen to the preaching
from a distance.
Bhikari das, Maya Ram, Beni das & Shobha das also sat there to adhere to the
discourses and get satisfied.
Gajpat Bhai, Gareeb das, Devi
das, Thanu Bhai, Badle Bhai and Shankardas- the cook were especially the regular
attendants.
Shyam ji Bhai, Champat Bhai,
Sukhchen Bhai, Khadagdeo and Murlidhar were sitting there as audiences.
There were so many Sundersath who
attended daily very regularly: Some of them followed the custom and others were
careful to be regular attendants.
Three kinds of audiences were
there –first, some ones were strict to sit and adhere to: second ones were
following the others to show their interest and the third types of audiences
were listening to by their careful attention. These were the basic qualities.
Those, who were the staunch
followers, adopted the way of living accordingly. The remaining others were not
so careful to follow the required rules but led their lives comfortably.
Brahmashristies appeared on the
Earth to watch and play dream drama; hence some had trodden the path like that
of renounced persons, whereas the others made their way to look like the
renounced ones and the remaining did not care to adopt any specialty but lived
according to the requirements they needed.
In each of the above types,
further divisions of three in each making a number of nine types accrued; and
more divisions of three types in each worked out to be twenty-seven.
The twenty-seven further divided
each into three accrued to be eighty-one. In addition to these, ‘Super Eternal
Abode –Paramdham’ of Brahmashristies consists of twenty-five numbers of specialty.
These twenty-five kinds of specialty
have enormous excellence since concerned with Paramdham (Lahoot). Swami Shri
Laldas ji expressed his inability to describe those belonging to ‘Super
Indestructible’ and beyond the imagination but he said, “Some brief narration
thereof is necessary to be made for the sake of Brahmashristies, the
enlightened Divine Souls.
“The description of Paramdham in
brief is that just in front of the Royal
Mansion (Rang Mahal) in
Paramdham, seven different coasts of the Holy River Jamuna ji beautify the
scene. The names of these are ‘Kel, Limboyee, Anaar, Amrita, Jamboo, Narangee
& But (banyan)’: in front of ‘Kel’ and ‘But’, two different bridges over
Holy River Jamuna ji exist. The Royal
Mansion is constituted of
ten floors.
O Sath ji! You shall be able to visualize
these spots by your deep meditation (Chitvani).”
Swami Shri Laldas ji now narrated
the description of Paramdham (which Sundersath visualized by deep mediation).
“The Royal Mansion exists on the bank of the Holy
River Jamuna ji. The River rises from Pukhraj Mountains ,
and then flows eastwards, turns to south and in the last again to the west to
meet a Grand Reservoir named ‘Hoz-Koshar’. Along this there exists another
Mansion of twenty-four ‘Haans’, surrounded by wide and large canal. Manik Mountains
are in existence along ‘Hoz-Koshar’ having four rows around the multistoried
Palaces.
Around all, there exist eight
ocean-type reservoirs, having open and wide pieces of land between two (of the
eight reservoirs) –eight in all. The open land beyond these reservoirs is
called ‘Raang’. It has a good number of beautiful palaces surrounded by a lofty
wall, which serves the purpose of boundary.”
Swami Shri Laldas ji said that
Mahamati Shri Prannath ji delivered the discourses related with the detailed
description of Paramdham, “In the North direction of the Royal Mansion (Rang
Mahal) there exists ‘Pukhraj Mountain’ and the Grand Reservoirs: Sacred River Jamuna
ji rises from the Mountain & flows on.
“From the middle of ‘Pukhraj’ Jamuna
ji flows for four and a half lakh Kos duly
covered and then opened equal to the same length. Thereafter it has a turn
towards South. Along the banks of the River exist many beautiful palaces,
built-up coasts and other places.”
Mahamati Shri Prannath ji
described daily about the ‘Oneness’ of the Almighty as Paramdham is constituted
of ‘Bliss’ (Anand) part of ‘Satchidanand’: every spot of Paramdham containing
twenty-five kinds of specialty together makes ‘One-Unique’. There arises no
question about ‘Duality’.
Shri Raj ji, Shri Shyama ji with
Her maid attendants –Brahmashristies (the Divine Souls) abide in Paramdham.
These three different appearances are of the “Lord Supreme’ only.
The Sat-part is Akshhar (the
Indestructible God) and His better half (Lakshmi ji). The ‘two’ making a Couple
is ‘One’. The right hand –Sat-part of
‘Satchidanand’ is Akshhar and the left hand, Anand-part is HIS Better Half and
Brahmashristies. The ‘Chit’ is HE, Himself. Thus these ‘five’ different
appearances mean ‘One- Shri Raj ji’. HE is ‘Sat+Chit+Anand’ and fond of playing
self; hence HE has different appearances –one as ‘Akshhar’ (to play like a
child), second as HIS Better Half as well as Her twelve thousand maid
–attendants –Brahmashristies for ‘love-plays’.
‘Akshhar’ – Sat appearance of
Shri Raj ji, of the childlike nature plays by creating Universes, crores in a
moment. In each of the creation of the Universe Trio-Gods and other creatures
are created at HIS Will and get annihilated in the next moment. ‘Akshhar’ plays
thus to enjoy incessantly.
Usually, ‘Akshhar (Indestructible
God) happens to arrive daily in Paramdham from HIS Eternal Abode (Akshhardham)
across Holy River Jamuna ji to have ‘Darshan’ of Shri Raj ji. Thus HE pleases
Shri Raj ji and returns to ‘Akshhardham’.
In Paramdham, Shri Raj ji (the
Supreme Lord) ever plays the ‘Love’ with HIS spouse- Shri Shyama ji and the
twelve thousand Beloved Consorts, Brahmashristies.
Shri Raj ji plays a new thing
every time to entertain with the Divine Souls headed by Shri Shyama ji.
Currently, When ‘Akshhar’ arrived in Paramdham to have ‘Darshan’ of Shri Raj,
Shri Raj planned in HIS heart (Chit) to play a special type of play to let the
Brahmashristies learn about the sanctity of ‘Love’; hence the dream drama of
the illusionary world has been created. All the Brahmashristies have appeared
by their consciousness (not by Souls or physiques) in the dream of ‘Akshhar’:
The present Universe has been created in the dream of ‘Akshhar’ who has been
sleeping. ‘Akshhar’ and ‘Brahmashristies’ participated to play and watch the dream
drama.
The Supreme Lord planned to let
the Brahmashristies watch and experience the ‘mirth and misery’ of the
illusionary world; hence HE created the stage of the drama in the dream of
‘Akshhar’ and made Him sleep. When Brahmashristies while sitting in front of
Shri Raj ji in Mool-Milava in Paramdham showed their anxiety (as the anxiety
was caused in the hearts of Brahmashristies by Shri Raj ji), Shri Raj said,
“No”. Again and again, three times the Brahmashristies insisted for fulfilling
their desire of watching the drama, every time Shri Raj repeated, “No”, in
order to prevent the Brahmashristies from beholding the worldly drama. Shri Raj
ji explained about the consequences that they would forget the ‘Truth’, their
Paramdham and their ‘Lord’ too. Even enlightened by the Divine Wisdom, they
would seldom believe in the ‘Lord’.
When Brahmashristies held a
discussion and did not agree with Shri Raj, HE decided to show them a dream and
send them by their consciousness in the dreamy world in order to fulfil the
created desires of experiencing the mirth and misery by their consciousness.
Simultaneously, “Akshhar –the
Indestructible God’, who arrived in Paramdham to have ‘Darshan’ of Shri Raj,
also watched the Divine Souls playing “Love” with Lord. He also desired, as per
the inspiration of the ‘Lord’, “What is the meaning of this love-play? How Lord
plays with twelve thousand Beloved Consorts.
The ‘Supreme Lord’ ordered the
Indestructible God –‘Akshhar’ to create a ‘Destructible’ (Malqoot) Universe
with Trio-Gods (Brahmaa, Vishnu & Mahesh) so that the Brahmashristies might
watch the illusionary world created in His dream of Akshhar as per the Divine
Order of the ‘Lord Supreme’. Thus the Universe came into existence gradually by
the Divine Order and the governance of the ‘Lord’.
Brahmashristies –the Divine Souls
too desired to watch the dramatic world created in the dream of ‘Akshhar’. They
all decided to express their demand then & there before Shri Raj to show
them the dramatic world created by ‘Akshhar’ in His dream.
The twelve thousand Brahmashristies
expressed their desire to Shri Raj & requested HIM to comply with it and
show them the drama of ‘Maya’.
Despite disagreeing with them and
saying ‘No’- three times ostensibly, Shri Raj fulfilled their persistent demand
(as the same was a kind of play planned by the ‘Lord Supreme’ and HE compelled
them to descend on the earth (by their consciousness).
First, the ‘Lord Supreme’ ordered
‘Akshhar’ to create the dreamy world, then HE compelled Brahmashristies to
descend.
In the first creation of the
Universe of ‘Brij’, Shri Krishna ji and Brahmashristies appeared to play
Brij-Leela. They played for eleven years and fifty-two days. Thereafter they
participated in ‘Raas’ in Vrindavan in the Universe of Yogmaya, created second
time for a ‘Night’ of ‘Raas’ only.
Brahmashristies played in ‘Brij’
& ‘Raas’ in two different Universes of Kalmaya & Yogmaya respectively;
still the desire of experiencing ‘sorrows’ by watching the illusionary dramatic
world because of their oblivion in respect of Paramdham and their ‘Lord’,
remained to be fulfilled. As such, they descended in the third Universe created
currently. To remember these events of ‘Brij’ and ‘Raas’, the chapter of ‘Inna
Injulana’ in Quran has been spoken as Sacred Words, by the Lord to Prophet
Mohammed.
Prophet Mohammed appeared in the
third Universe to convey the Sacred Words, which are contained in Quran for the
interest of Momin – the Brahmashristies and again He appeared as ‘Dhani Shri
Devchandra ji & Mahamati Shri Prannath ji’ when the ‘Ultimate Day of
Justice’- the ‘Qayamat’ – ‘Group Jaagni’ commenced the next day (one thousand
and one hundred years after the death of Mohammed Sahib.)
Five kinds of specialty – Gabriel,
the zeal Power of the “Lord’, Asrapheel – the awakening intellect of Paramdham,
the Command of the Almighty, the Divine Personality of Shri Shyama ji (the Better
Half of Shri Raj) and the glory of ‘Akshhar’ –Farishte, the Ishwarshristies to
assist the Divine Souls to get enlightened, have been granted as boon by the
‘Lord Supreme’: As per the Divine Order of the ‘Lord Supreme’ to ‘Akshhar’,
Ishwarshristies as ‘Farishte’ appeared.
‘Gabriel’ is the Zeal Power of
the ‘Lord’, with the help of which the Divine Souls would, in contact of the
‘Lord’, at the time of the commencement of ‘Qayamat’ and on getting enlightened,
get relief from the riddles of the illusionary world.
The intellect of ‘Akshhar’
appeared as ‘Asrapheel’ in the person of Mahamati Shri Prannath ji and He
delivered Divine Wisdom and the explanations of the Holy Scriptures like Quran
& Vedas.
‘Rooh-Allah’ –the Better Half of
the ‘Lord’, Shri Shyama ji appeared in the person of ‘Sadguru Shri Devchandra
ji’, who later on, had His Abode in the heart of Mehraj Thakur. Thus He (Mahamati
Shri Prannath ji) having Sadguru’s Abode in His heart delivered the Divine
Wisdom to the Brahmashristies to awaken them from the dream of the worldly
drama.
Shri Shyama ji appeared as Sadguru
Shri Devchandra ji, who was blessed by the ‘Lord Supreme’. He listened to the
Divine Wisdom of ‘Arsh-Azeem’- Paramdham to be used as ‘key’ to open the lock
of the treasury of the Divine Knowledge to disfigure the ignorance in order to
reveal the secrets of the Holy Scriptures. By comprehension of the indications
of the secrets of the Holy Scriptures, the Soul would acquire the capability to
approach the ‘Lord’ and behold HIM in person.
Mahamati Shri Prannath ji
delivered the Divine Knowledge to the mankind that has the dimensions of a
boundless ocean. Those human beings, who adhere to the Divine Preaching of Shri
ji, must become intelligent to comprehend the theme and fill it in their
hearts.
While delivering the Divine
Wisdom Mahamati Shri Prannath ji drew the attention of the Brahmashristies by
describing the details of the ‘Lord’s Personality’, five different kinds of
Appearances as described in Sagar, Sringar and two times as described in ‘Shri
Raas’. The description narrated by Shri ji in the seven types of garbs of the
‘Lord Supreme’ delighted the audiences – Sundersath.
While giving the details of
Paramdham, Shri ji attracted the attention of the audiences to concentrate
about ‘Pukhraj Mountain’ & to make circumambulation by going around it
contemplating in deep meditation (Chitvani) to have company of the ‘Lord’ to
play with there.
Shri ji then described about the
seven built up coasts of Jamuna ji, where Shri Raj played with Brahmashristies
– HIS Beloved Consorts, while bathing in the flowing water of the Holy River
(Jamuna ji).
Therefrom the whole company of
Shri Raj, Shri Shyama ji and the Brahmashristies arrived at Kel Bridge and But
Bridge and then in the palaces of Kunjvan, where Jamuna ji turned towards the
West and flowed further to meet Hoz Koshar.
The details of Hoz Koshar as
described by Shri ji revealed built up four sides with palaces. In the reservoir
there exists an island of diamond where too, number of palaces exists.
Dense forests having different
types of trees surround the reservoir. Beyond that is Manik Mountain :
and a grand palace of twenty-four Haans exists between the reservoir and the mountain.
Shri Raj Shyama ji arrives there to play and rejoice.
The grand palace contains
twenty-four vaulted (tomb-like) roofs, each equipped with huge fountains: the
fall of water from these fountains is collected in twenty-four different ponds.
The scene is very amazing.
Shri ji described about Manik Mountain ,
where in the rift between two hillocks, swinging gaits have been hovering for
amusement of Shri Raj Shyama ji & Brahmashristies. On listening to the
attractive narration of these swings, Brahmashristies are delighted.
Around Manik Mountain ,
there exist twelve thousand grand palaces, each containing twelve thousand
special spot for comfort. Their entrance doors are very attractive to amuse.
When Brahmashristies descended
down Manik Mountain and stayed the rising point
(base), they behold the amazing scene of the meet-point of Jamuna ji and the
reservoir, which contain pure and clear water. Shri ji described about the same
to aware the audiences.
A range of grand diamond made
palaces occupy both sides of Jamuna ji. Audiences – Sundersath were delighted
to listen to the vivid description thereof.
Shri ji described that Shri Raj
Shyama ji & Brahmashristies play in these palaces existing in forests. The
audiences got rejoiced to listen to the same.
Swami Shri Laldas ji said,
“Beyond the forests and Manik
Mountain , the
surroundings of the limitless Paramdham appear to be lofty. The palaces
standing in four rows look so attractive that to pronounce the description of
the beauty thereof is beyond the capacity of a person. How can I describe? I
have no words.”
Thus Shri ji described the
explanation of many verses of Tartamsagar to the Sundersath. The Sundersath
adhering to Shri ji’s discourses were experiencing their conscious presence in
Paramdham by His grace; hence they were stuck to their seats as if Shri ji
forced them to sit in Paramdham.
The programme of discourses had
been being delivered by Shri ji continued upto midnight during the second
quarter of the night, which sometimes continued beyond the midnight in the
third quarter too. Shri ji explained them the details of Paramdham very well.
Shri ji then shifted from the
throne to the bed to rest. Bihari das arranged bed cushion and pillows to suit
Shri ji to take rest on the bed comfortably. Natha Joshi also performed this
service & other associates along with Bihari das.
Swami Shri Laldas ji while
concluded the chapter said, “O Brahmashristies! The programme held in the sixth
quarter of the Day (the second quarter of the night) has been described. The
programme of the seventh quarter (when midnight ended) would be described
hereafter. The Sundersath still were present to perform their services to
please Shri ji and stayed in Shri Bangala ji”
Prakaran 69 – Chopai 4186
CHAPTER 70 –SAATWAN PAHAR
Swami Shri Laldas ji described
that the night schedule after the midnight pertaining to the seventh quarter of
the Day would be described as followed. Four quarters of the day and two
quarters of the night elapsed.
After the midnight, Shri ji used
to go to bed and the cushioned bed was arranged well by Narayan das, Dwarka
das, Ganga Das and Pram Chand Bhai in performance of their services.
Two bedsteads were kept ready.
One was for Shri ji and the other was spare. The scene of these two bedsteads
was beautiful.
Swami Shri Laldas ji said, “The
four footings of each of the bedsteads were shining. Although the light emitted
by the same was worldly, yet the same was very attractive, which I can not
describe in words.”
The colourful pulpit was made
comfortable by spreading a cushion thereon with a bed sheet.
The four-corners of the bed sheet
were tied very carefully with its swinging edges. The pulpit was prepared by
colourful silken tapes. Its beauty was soothing.
There were pillows on the bed
arranged in a beautiful manner. The supporting pillars (staffs) of the canopy
over the bed were shining and emitting light.
The edges of the canopy had
shining beauty, which no one can describe in words.
The bed sheet was spread over the
cushion stretched tightly. Bishan Bhai then swept it by his hands, lest any
piece of straw or the like might remain there, hence the same was removed by
hand-sweep to make it the most comfortable to Shri ji.
Then Vallabh das offered his
prayer requesting Shri ji to come on bed. He used to prefer the service while
Shri ji was preaching to Sundersath with the description of Paramdham where
Brahmashristies play ‘Love’ with the ‘Lord’ round the clock.
Vallabh das requested, “the time
to take bed rest has become due: Kindly make us all to meditate and see our
Lord ‘Shri Raj’ in deep meditation (Chitvani).”
Again Ganga
das requested Shri ji to take bed rest. He said, “It is now time to take bed
rest. O Raj! Kindly oblige us and occupy the bed very comfortably.”
But Shri Raj was busy in
delivering the discourses concerning to Paramdham, while the audiences were
experiencing the joy by their conscious presence in Paramdham. The Sundersath
were the Divine Souls of Paramdham, hence they were interested in listening to
the detailed description thereof.
During the course of preaching if
some one asked any question, Shri ji replied him very affectionately and began
to preach on the issue concerning the question; even then the audiences
continued to listen to the preaching on the new topic without any interruption.
At that time Shri Laldas ji went
through any particular part of Quran, which was heard by Shri ji very
interestedly. The Sundersath, then, again requested to occupy the bed to take
rest.
While the discourses were
continuing, Jayanti das interrupted and said, “I am complying with the words of
Shri Bai Ju Raj, who requested Your Majesty to have rest now.”
Meanwhile, Gokul das brought the
Islamic Holy Books of Hadeesh, which were read by Shri Keshav das and Shri ji
heard the same.
According to the schedule, a few
Sundersath, whose duty was to perform the sacred services during the seventh
quarter, after midnight arrived there and stood around Shri ji. They requested
again to Shri ji, “Kindly take the bed rest now, as it is quite enough late by
this time.”
They further said, “We are
waiting for you to occupy the bed, but Your Lordship! You are delaying in
coming to bed.” The audiences were sincerely listening to the preaching keeping
their utter silence.
Thus more than one and half an
hour passed, past midnight and the preaching continued. Sundersath requested
again to come on the bed. Shri ji then replied, “Believe me. I am just coming.”
Sometimes, Maharaja Shri
Chhatrashal was amongst the audiences. In his presence no body spoke any thing.
He was listening to the preaching very attentively and all others too enjoyed
the juice of the discourses.
Shri Bai Ju Raj also attended the
discourses. She often pointed out to ask Sundersath to request Shri ji to take
bed rest because it was too late. She asked,
“Now leave the books in your hand and close the programme.”
Shri ji agreed to comply with the
requests of Sundersath, still He continued to describe vividly the Splendour of
the ‘Lord’ as HE appeared in Chitvani to Shri ji, listening to which Sundersath
experienced to have had ‘Darshan’ apparently, by the deep meditation.
Shri ji advised Sundersath,
“Concentrate and focus your attention to the place in the ‘Fifth floor of the Royal Mansion
(Rang Mahal) in Paramdham, where Shri Raj ji stays to bed along with twelve thousand
Divine Souls –Brahmashristies. Also contemplate about your original state in
Paramdham.”
Swami Shri Laldas ji described
that Mahamati Shri Prannath ji described about the feature of the ‘Personality
of Shri Raj ji’ to the Sundersath very lovingly. The Sundersath also
experienced the bliss being delighted with the discourses of Shri ji. The state
of joy achieved by Sundersath on listening to the discourses can not be
pronounced in words.”
Vallabh das spoke in melodious
modulation of voice, explaining the beauty of the various spots and the
love-plays being held at each spot by Brahmashristies with Shri Raj in
Paramdham. He started singing from the evening to the midnight.
Having left the throne and just
before occupying the bedstead, Shri ji used to go to the house of Manik Bhai. Ganga das helped by holding the hands to Shri ji to get
up.
One side was standing Shri Laldas
ji or sometimes Lachchhidas or Makrand Bhai to hold the hands.
Himmat Bhai carpeted the floor
for Shri ji to walk over it from Shri Bangala ji to the house of Manik Bhai.
Shri ji generally talked in sweet voice with the attendants.
Makrand Bhai helped Shri ji to
reach the house of Manik Bhai where Gaur Bai helped Shri ji to sit. Manik Bhai
had talked Shri ji and claimed to be Beloved of Shri Raj who drove him out of
the riddles of ‘Maya’.
Shri ji replied to the queries of
Sundersath smilingly to convince every body: He also took many decisions on the
various issues. He then left for Shri Bangala ji to occupy the bed to take
rest.
Shri ji came up to Shri Bangala
ji and sat on the bed to take rest. Then all the Sundersath came to bid
‘Pranam’ (Salute) to Shri ji. Then they returned to their places to rest.
Daily Godavari Bai used to come
up near Shri ji with a bowl full of perfumed oil to massage over the head after
untying the bunch of hair: She uttered, “O My Lord! You have well shown me the
drama of the illusive world.”
Shri Bai Ju Raj also had a talk
with Shri ji and she informed Him about the whole day-events. Shri ji heard Her
very interestedly.
Bihari das then brought a small
furnace with burning charcoal pieces. To warm the bed, Manik Bhai ironed it
with a steel-plate device keeping a few burning charcoal pieces on it to make
it hot.
After warming the bed, cotton
blanket and the sheets, Manik Bhai used to adorn Shri ji with muffler-type cap,
before Shri ji laid on the warm bed.
Murlidhar, the first row audience
then left for his house. Others too went to take rest. They had listened to the
discourses related with Paramdham. They were well satisfied with the detailed
description of Paramdham. All the intricacies of the world were away from them.
It was about half an hour past
One O’clock (AM). Shri ji spoke ‘Pranam’ to all. A team of those who used to
sing verses of Tartamsagar in their turn arrived to sing. Badle Bhai modulated
and quoted the verses of other saints: the company members with him recited the
same, with him.
Shri ji too heard them & got
delighted. The attendants assigned with the services during the seventh quarter
after the midnight resumed their duties.
Hansa Bhai, Shahman Bhai, Shri
Keshav Das ji and Daulat Bhai sat there near Shri ji to please Him by singing
the selected verses of Tartamsagar.
Sundersath interested to listen
to the verses of Tartamsagar being sung by the team also sat nearby. Manik Bai
arranged the cotton blanket to provide the same to Sri Bai Ju Raj to take rest
on the next bedstead kept near Shri ji’s bed.
The bedstead of Shri Bai Ju Raj
was kept towards the head side of that of Shri ji. Other Sundersath willing to
stay there had their beds on the ground around these two beds of Shri ji and
Shri Bai Ju Raj. By that time every body was silent.
Other Sundersath too arrived in
Shri Bangala ji. Some of them were sitting and others were sleeping. Murlidhar
and Jayanti das were sitting to talk about discourses.
There was a room of Kaka in Shri Bangala
ji where a group of Sundersath gathered to listen to Quran & Hadeesh read
by Shri Laldas ji and Shri Keshava Das ji.
Among the audiences were Gokul
das, Bool Chand Modi and many ladies. Sadanand was always attending to listen
to the discourses.
Even during the seventh quarter
(the third one of the night) the number of audiences increased day by day:
sometimes their talks and discourses were pertaining to ‘Vani’ (the Sacred
Speech of Mahamati Shri Prannath ji) or pertaining to other scriptures. Thus
the attendants had been enjoying with their Souls’ diet.
Shri ji while on the bed enquired
about those, “Who are present?” The names of Shankar Bhai, Buddha Sen and Vallabh
das were told.
The attendants were ten in
number, and then increased to become twenty, and then thirty, forty, fifty,
sixty, seventy and ultimately their number increased to become eighty gradually.
They all had taken interest to listen to about Shri Raj ji and Paramdham.
After a few days, then the number
increased to become one hundred or more. The corridor of Shri Bangala ji was
also filled with the presence of the attendants.
So many of them were regular. A
few of them arrived there seldom. The discourses were continued daily.
The attendants were talking about
the Sacred Speech (Vani) of Shri ji, which He uttered on the previous day as
per the inspiration of the ‘Lord’. Shri ji adhered to the same very
interestedly.
Shri ji was pleased to see the gathering
of Sundersath. He presented flower-beads to some of them and the flower-crests
to others. The Sundersath were obliged to His affection.
Murlidhar used to take over the
gifts from Shri ji, which he distributed among Sundersath. They all then bowed
to Shri ji and prostrated at His Lotus Feet.
Gokul das, Shri Keshav Das and
some times Shri Laldas too had discourses among other Sundersath. All were
interested to partake in the programme.
The attendants were anxious to
have some talk with Shri ji. Shri ji too got delighted to know about their
anxiety and readiness to acquire more knowledge.
Swami Shri Laldas ji described
that the attendants used to have discourses about the Divine Knowledge and many
other topics related with Paramdham and Shri Raj ji. The magnanimity of the
programme could not be mentioned.
Swami Shri Laldas ji concluded
the chapter and said, “O Sath ji! The programme as it took place during the
seventh quarter of the Day (the third one of the night) has been described
here. Now in the next chapter, the schedule programme of the eighth quarter of
the Day will be narrated for you to hear.
Prakaran 70 – Chopai 4244
CHAPTER 71 – AATHWAN PAHAR
Swami Shri Laldas ji described,
“Now I say about the scheduled programme of the eighth quarter of the Day. This
is the time when it dawns. Shri Raj (Shri ji) was taking rest on the bed, while
the team of some Sundersath was still singing the verses related to the details
of Paramdham (Dham Barnan), contained in Tartamsagar (Vani), spoken by Mahamati
Shri Prannath ji as per the inspiration of the ‘Lord’ (who conveyed HIS Divine
Message to the Brahmashristies through Shri ji to let all the Brahmashristies
remember HIM). The building structure of Shri Bangala ji is high having enough
length and width; hence the tone of the songs sung by Sundersath was producing
echo.
The Sundersath of the team were
singing the melodious modulation of voice there very happily, sitting around
Shri ji, who was taking rest on the bed.
The ‘Vani’, which was spoken by
Shri ji as per the inspiration of the ‘Lord’ is purposeful to shower the
‘Grace’ over the entire Universe, including ‘Fourteen worlds’ (planes); but
those only like Brahmashristies could conceive the importance of ‘Vani’ and
they thereby got immersed in the ocean of ‘nectar’: but the common human beings
could not comprehend the same. The Brahmashristies, of course, drank the
‘nectar’ of ‘Vani’ and attained the Divine Knowledge by which on awakening by
their consciousness, they could reach the Super Eternal Abode by deep
meditation (Chitvani).
The ‘Vani’ of Mahamati Shri
Prannath ji is unique in the in the Universe, which has never been listened to
by the mankind, although many Universes have been created earlier than the
current one; and many such creations would take place in future too, yet except
the Brahmashristies, none could comprehend the right inference thereof.
The Trio-Gods (Brahmaa, Vishnu
and Mahesh) even could not attain the capacity so far to listen to the same.
The Trio-Gods are superior to all other; hence no one else exists in the
Universe, who could comprehend.
That nectar of ‘Vani’ flows in
Shri Bangala ji, but the worldly mankind had deprived them at their own from
quenching their thirst (except the Brahmashristies).
The atmosphere of Shri Bangala ji
has become pious to enable the Brahmashristies to reach the highest peak of joy
of Paramdham: Other than Brahmashristies, no one could know what were the
advantages of the comprehension of the ‘Vani’?
No one could know whom the ‘Lord’
graced and who graced the Brahmashristies by His blessings? Who was the ‘Grand Personality’
blessed by the ‘Lord’ to reveal the secrets of the scriptures? This is the most
outstanding mystery, which no body has known (except the Brahmashristies.)
That who could know about the
mystery did not waste any moment without listening to ‘Vani’ and drinking the
‘nectar’: One, who could swim in the ocean of the ‘nectar’, of course, liked
the same by one’s Soul. One could not think of other thing else.
The Brahmashristies were sitting
in Shri Bangala ji with others to converse about the Vani (with each other), in
order to recognize about their originality and to attain the capacity to have
their Souls’ faith in the ‘Lord Supreme & Paramdham’.
By comprehending the right inference
of ‘Vani’, the Divine Souls feel their conscious presence in Paramdham by deep
meditation (Chitvani). On listening to ‘Vani’ by their ears attentively, they
filled their hearts with the ecstasy of Paramdham and their Souls’ desires were
satisfied.
The Better Half of Shri Raj, Shri
Shyama ji appeared as Shri Devchandra ji and spoke about the Divine Wisdom
listening to which and by the Grace of Shri Shyama ji, the Divine Souls
(Brahmashristies) got enlightened to feel their conscious presence in Paramdham.
The Divine Wisdom was conveyed to the Brahmashristies in accordance with the Divine
Order of the Supreme Lord (Shri Raj), HIMSELF.
The mysteries of the reciprocal
‘love’, which take place between the ‘Lord Supreme’ and the Brahmashristies in
side the Royal Mansion (Rang Mahal) of Paramdham, were not known even to the
‘Indestructible God – Sat Appearance of the ‘Lord – Akshhar. How others could
imagine in this respect?
When Akshhar was not knowing
about the recurrence of love-plays inside the Paramdham, how the Trio-Gods
(Brahmaa, Vishnu and Mahesh) could have known or imagined; but since revealed
by Mahamati Shri Prannath ji in ‘Vani’, the Jeevashristies who are unconcerned
entities have also learnt about the same (as detailed by Shri ji in His
preaching).
Jeevashristies belong to the
‘Destructible world’ hence their existence would be continuing as long as the
illusive world continues (in the dream of Akshhar). No sooner the dream would
be over on Akshhar’s awakening, than the Jeevashristies and their knowledge
would disappear.
But the Jeevashristies, who attained
the capacity to know about Paramdham by going through ‘Vani’, have also had
‘Darshan’ of the Indestructible God – and His Eternal Abode –Akshhardham.
The Zeal Power of Akshhar –‘Gabriel’
Angel could not go beyond ‘Akshhardham’ (as without intense hearty ‘Love’ of
Shri Raj ji, one can not reach Paramdham –across Sacred River, Jamuna ji; but
with the help of the ‘Divine Wisdom’, contained in ‘Vani’ (the Fourteen Books
of Tartamsagar), Brahmashristies attained the capacity to visit seven kinds of
built up coasts on the Paramdham side across Jamuna ji (the Sacred River Jamuna
ji flows between Paramdham and Akshhardham).
As a result of the Majestic
Lord’s Divine Order, Mahamati Shri Prannath ji spoke ‘Vani’ (the Sacred Speech
in Verses). Rasool Mohammed, in His appearance as ‘Haqi’ –the Advent of ‘Imam Menhdi’
could visualize Paramdham (when Sadguru Shri Devchandra ji delivered the
‘Divine Wisdom’ –Tartam’ to Him) as He recognized the ‘Lord’ by His Soul’s
intense ‘Love’.
On hearing ‘Tartam Vani’ (as
spoken by Mahamati Shri Prannath ji), the Soul wakes up from the sleep of the
illusionary world and feels in one’s heart the presence in Paramdham. Thus
various places of Paramdham become visible (in deep meditation –Chitvani). The
Soul regains the consciousness of Paramdham and the heart is filled up with the
light of ‘Divine Knowledge’ (the darkness of the ignorance resulted due to
vanity vanishes).
On listening to and comprehending
‘Vani’, the Soul’s consciousness rouses in Paramdham, while physically one
stays in the dramatic world –on the Earth.
On listening to the ‘Divine
Wisdom’, contained in ‘Vani’, one understands the ‘Reality’ regarding eight
types of the Salvation in Special Paradises already established in the hearts
of Akshhar. Not self-only, but one enables others too to achieve and behold the
same. One becomes capable by one’s hearty and immense ‘Love’ to cross Jamuna ji
and reaches Paramdham.
All sorts of doubts are solved
when the Souls get enlightened by the comprehension of the Divine Wisdom.
Brahmashristies enjoy the drama of the world when fully enlightened to experience
the bliss of the ‘Grace’ showered by the Lord Supreme.
On comprehending the essence of
the Divine Wisdom (which infers the intense ‘Love’ towards and amongst all the
creatures including the Creator), the mankind of the world would rouse and get
rid of the ignorance, but the importance of the “Divine Wisdom’ could not be
conceived by Jeevashristies, (whereas the Brahmashristies learnt about it first
–earlier than others).
The Divine Wisdom would spread in
the Universe including fourteen worlds (Planes). In the last, the Trio-Gods
could comprehend.
Later on Akshhar would arise from
the sleep by the comprehension of ‘Vani’: He (‘Akshhar’) would think of the
dream and rejoice.
By the Grace of the ‘Lord’ (Shri
Raj ji), on learning the Divine Wisdom, ‘Akshhar’ –the Indestructible God could
memorize eight kinds of Paradises in His Heart and these Paradises would be
open to the graced Souls of the world. Each of the Souls, who are memorized by
Akshhar, would attain the Salvation in one of the eight kinds of Special
Paradises, according to the intensity of ‘Love’. ‘Akshhar’ could then
experience and immerse into the ocean of the ‘Joy’ of Love’, which has concern
with Paramdham, as it is played between the Brahmashristies and the ‘Supreme
Lord’. Akshhar charged by ‘Lord’ played with Gop-Vadhus in ‘Brij’ and ‘Raas’.
The immense light of the Divine
Knowledge of ‘Vani’ spread over the earthen surface and it rose up to the
unlimited height in the sky. Brahmashristies became capable to experience their
presence in Paramdham, their origin by crossing the limits of the
‘Destructible’ creation and beyond it.
The Royal Mansion
(Rang Mahal) of Paramdham has nine floors and an open terrace above the ninth.
A detailed description of this Royal
Mansion has been narrated
in ‘Vani’: Paramdham is ‘Super Eternal Abode of Shri Raj ji and the Divine
Souls –it is also so narrated in ‘Vani’ (Tartamsagar).
Vani contains vivid description
of Paramdham, where the Divine Souls roam and see various spots such as ‘Hoz
Koshar’-reservoir, Jamuna ji, many gardens of different types and forests
including animals inhabiting therein as well as ‘seven built up coasts’ of Jamuna
ji with two bridges across it.
There are Manik
Mountains , Royal
Palaces around the same and Pukhraj Mountains , wherefrom Jamuna ji arises
and flows onward between Paramdham and Akshhardham, where Brahmashristies roam
to entertain.
Surrounding Paramdham and
Akshhardham are eight extensive ocean-like reservoirs of joy containing islands
and Royal Palaces in each. Brahmashristies reach there with their ‘Lord’ to
enjoy the rejoicings of Eternity (in Super Eternal Abode).
In Tartamsagar –the ‘Vani’ of Mahamati
Shri Prannath ji, there is vivid description of Paramdham, where Shri Raj ji
(Haq), Shyama ji (Sadguru Shri Devchandra ji –Hadi) and the Brahmashristies
–the Divine Souls have their Super Eternal Abode. There is a detailed narration
in ‘Vani’ of joyful plays of Brahmashristies who play ‘Love’ in Paramdham with
Shri Raj ji.
Brahmashristies have been called
as ‘Momin’. They have been friendly with Shri Raj, hence called ‘Oliya –Lilla’.
The ‘Vani’ contains references explaining their existence in Paramdham –Super
Eternal Abode.
And ‘Vani’ contains the
inferences of the Holy Scriptures, according to which the ‘Lord Supreme’ is the
‘Almighty’ and has HIS sovereignty in the whole Universe. The Brahmashristies
could learn from ‘Vani’ in respect of their descent from Paramdham in
‘Maya’-world.
Also those, who go through ‘Vani’
and gain faith in the ‘Supreme Lord’s Sovereignty’, have no fear of any mishap
caused by the devil. The devil trembles of the fear and can not interfere with
the enlightened Souls.
The Sundersath were just talking
about the excellence of ‘Vani’, while Shri ji was listening to their talk.
Usually He did not sleep, though He had been taking rest on the bed.
Sometimes, Shri ji inclined to a
little sleep, but He paid attention to listen to the conversation of the
Sundersath; and if during the course of their talk, some one pronounced a word
or words incorrectly, He at once checked one and corrected the error.
He would often speak, “Why did
you spell wrongly? Why did you forget to pronounce a particular word?” The
Sundersath then regretted for their mistake.
By the time so elapsed, it was
about one and a half-hours to dawn (four ghati of night remained). A team of
those Sundersath who used to sing the Verses related with the vivid description
of all the spots of Paramdham, came up there to sit near Shri ji, while those
who were performing the services till that time were almost ready to go.
Murlidhar offered his prayer
describing the beauty of Shri Raj and then left Shri Bangala ji to reach his home,
after bidding Pranam (Salute) to other Sundersath who too felt to get relief of
daily bodily routines (to go to toilets etc.)
At that time, in Shri Bangala ji
some ones were sleeping and others were taking interest in listening to the
description of Paramdham (Dham Barnan). At the same time Shri Laldas ji stood
up to sing verses before ‘Mangal Aarti’ (early morning worship by Aarti).
The Sundersath arrived happily in
Shri Bangala ji. They performed ‘Aarti-Puja’ and sat to listen to the team’s
song in respect of the description of Paramdham (Dham Barnan).
Those Sundersath also got up and
sat who were listening to the ‘Dham-Barnan’ in their lying position on the
floor-surface. They woke up to sit there and listen to the team’s song very
attentively.
The programme of reciting the
verses about the vivid description of Paramdham started in Parna ji (Shri 5
Padmavatipuri) in the house of Hansa Bhai. Later on Jayanti das called in
Sundersath to assemble and he narrated the vivid description of Paramdham as he
could and sang the verses of Tartamsagar.
By the grace of the ‘Lord
supreme’ (Shri Raj ji), Shri Laldas ji started speaking the description of
Paramdham (Dham Barnan) in the programme. Thereafter all others too
participated in the programme and spoke about the details of Paramdham
according to their capacity, turn by turn daily.
For some days, the programme of
singing the verses regarding the description of Paramdham termed as ‘Vrat’ was
held at the house of Vrindavan where Sundersath assembled to learn the verses
of ‘Vrat’.
Till the end of the Eleventh
Century of Hizari Era, equivalent to Vikram Samvat 1748 (till that time, all
the parts of Tartamsagar were already spoken as Sacred Speech (Vani) by
Mahamati Shri Prannath ji according to the Divine Order of Shri Raj ji.
Sundersath took hearty interest
to learn ‘Vrat’. Gradually, thereafter their interest lessened, but they showed
anxiety to listen to ‘Vrat’, when Shri Laldas ji was speaking.
Shri Makrand Bhai succeeded Shri
Laldas ji and then Lal Khan followed, who described ‘Vrat’ turn by turn. Shri
ji was listening to them and feeling pleasure on Sundersath’s achievements.
Every morning Shri ji was happy
on listening to ‘Vrat’. Then He got up and sat on the bed to hear the
explanation given by the experts of ‘Vrat’ (like Shri Laldas ji).
He then demanded coffee and
sipped it. Then He took interest in the programme of ‘Vrat’ simultaneously.
Swami Shri Laldas ji said, “Sath ji! Look! Shri Raj ji graced the Sundersath
and Shri ji too praised them for their success.
Mavji Bhai attended regularly to
listen to ‘Vrat’. He sat near those who used to sing ‘Vrat’-verses. He also
used to sit there for massaging the feet of the Sundersath singing the verses
in their standing position near Shri ji in order to express his hearty
affection.
Mavji Bhai used to come in Shri Bangala
ji daily before it was dawn in order to perform his service and please those
all that sang ‘Vrat’-verses by participating in the team.
The other regular attendants to
listen to the ‘Vrat’-verses were Mohan das and Mool Chand Modi (they attended
daily without fail).
Govind das and others also
arrived in Shri Bangala ji to listen to about the ‘Splendid Glory of Shri Raj
Shyama ji’ as mentioned in ‘Vrat’-verses (Dham Barnan). They all rejoiced in their
hearts.
While describing in ‘Vrat’ about
the surroundings of the Royal
Mansion (Rang Mahal), the
details of the inside thereof were also narrated. The narration of the four
spots with the details of the fifth spot of the ‘Ground floor’ of Rang Mahal
was given as under:
Shri ji explained about the fifth
one on the ‘Ground Floor’ known as ‘Mool-Milava’. He spoke, “There are
sixty-four columns all around the platform, covered by a grand & beautiful
canopy supported by the sixty-four columns. There was a cushioned carpet of the
floor of the platform.
In the middle of the platform, a
Majestic Royal Throne is meant for Shri Raj Shyama ji for sitting there.
The Brahmashristies having
adorned with the beautiful attires and ornaments have been sitting on the cushioned
platform in rows, facing towards and around the Majestic Throne of Shri Raj
Shyama ji.
Around the platform there exist
projected shades and adjoining other palaces. There exist the second and the
third stories of the Royal
Mansion (Rang Mahal).
The Fourth-floor of the Royal Mansion
is meant for amusement where ‘Navrang Bai’ uses to perform the attractive dance
pleasing Shri Raj Shyama ji and other Brahmashristies.
The fifth floor is used for
sleeping on the beautiful throne-type beds by Shri Raj Shyama ji and the
Brahmashristies –the Divine Souls. The Sixth one is used as Hangar for housing
the aircrafts. A number of swinging apparatuses has been contained in the
seventh.
The swinging apparatuses of the
eighth floor are special, which wear the look of a throne- duly covered by the
canopies with the supporters. The ninth floor is filled with the Royal chairs
like thrones on which Shri Raj Shyama ji and Brahmashristies use to sit to look
at the beautiful gardens, forests, canals, mountains, fountains and all other
beautiful spots surrounding the Royal Mansion, just to entertain and to get
refreshed.
While looking at the East, there
appear the seven built-up Coasts of Jamuna ji and beyond that Akshhardham
having boundless expansion: the beauty of that scenery is attractive.
Within the limit of Jamuna ji in
Paramdham, exist beautiful spaces covered by four trees in each group of Banyan
and Peepal, Pukhraj and Manik Mountains –the origin and the ultimate extremity of
Jamuna ji with Hoz Koshar (the grand reservoir) – near the Royal Mansion
(Rang Mahal). Brahmashristies in their large groups play there.
Between Hoz-Koshar reservoir and Manik Mountains ,
there exist a series of palaces having twenty-four tombs, where water springs
upwards from twenty-four fountains. The water when falling from the crests of
the fountains appears shining and it is collected in twenty-four large sized
ponds.”
Now Shri ji described about the
beauty of Manik Mountains . There exists number of
palaces around the mountains. Each has two main doors between two palaces – one
round and the other square. These look very picturesque.
In the large arches around the
mountains are twelve thousand swinging apparatuses where Shri Raj Shyama ji and
the Brahmashristies swing and play amusingly. Around the mountains a Grand Canal flows and there are numerous spacious halls
on its banks for rest and entertainment of the Brahmashristies.
The canal having four, eight and
somewhere twelve turns surrounds these palaces. There are palaces in the
forests too. Beyond these, different open spaces exist all around meant for
playing.
Beyond the short spaces, there
are eight grand ocean-type reservoirs; each of them has island and palaces.
Between two reservoirs exists open piece of land, in all eight ones. There are
palaces beyond these reservoirs and open land having four rows. All these
palaces are used by Shri Raj Shyama ji and the Brahmashristies for their
entertainment and plays.
The Brahmashristies while sitting
in Shri Bangala ji and in their deep meditation, walked from the Ninth story of
Rang Mahal to reach the terrace to peep into the surroundings thereof.
Thereafter the ‘Vrat’ described again of the fifth square existing in the First
floor where Shri Raj Shyama ji have been sitting on the Royal Majestic Throne.
The Brahmashristies have been sitting in rows around the ‘Excellent Couple’.
As per ‘Vrat’, four squares exist
between the fifth one and the Entrance Door of the Royal Mansion .
From there the open space of the ‘Ground’ named Chadni Chowk can be beheld,
where two large sized platforms exist under the red and green trees, which are
meant for the playing of Shri Raj ji with Shyama ji and Brahmashristies.
‘Vrat’ continued to describe
about Jamuna ji’s seven different built up coasts, viz. Kel (Banana), Limboi
(lemon), Anaar (Pomegranate), Jambo (Black plum), Narangee (Orange) and But
(Banyan), its two bridges standing on Kel and But coasts. The Holy River Jamuna
ji rises from Pukhraj Mountains, flows duly covered underground for a long
distance, then flown openly (uncovered) as long as it flows duly covered
towards the East. Then it turns to the South and serves as a boundary between
Paramdham and Akshhardham. Thereafter it takes a turn towards the West: by
flowing long it makes conglutination with Hoz Koshar reservoir.
Surrounding the Paramdham and
Akshhardham, exist eight ocean-like reservoirs having islands –one in each and
separated each from other by a spacious piece of land. Beyond these reservoirs,
endless spacious fields containing gardens and forests surround Paramdham and
Akshhardham. Five rows of trees stand on the extreme shore of each of the
reservoirs. In the west, between the Royal
Mansion and the
Reservoirs are ‘Phool Bag’, ‘Noor bag’, then ‘Anna Bag’ and ‘Doob Bag’ looking
yellowish to sooth to eyes.
A group of a hundred gardens of
flowers exists in the utmost west, another group of a hundred gardens of ‘Noor’
(treasure of lights) exists in front of Phool Bag. Beyond all these exists a
long sized open field having no bounds. While the description of ‘Vrat’ was
going on, it was morning (at Parna ji) where in Shri Bangala ji Shri ji was
giving the vivid description of various such places of Paramdham.
A large sized platform of red
colour exists in front of the Royal Mansion of Paramdham in the northern corner
(as described in ‘Vrat’).
Adjoining to it there exist
Badavan, Madhuvan and further Mahavan in the North. In the East of Badavan,
there exists an expansive garden known as Tadvan of palm-trees. And beyond
Mahavan, around Pukhraj
Mountains , thousand of
lofty tombs exist. Four entrance-doors in each direction of Pukhraj are meant
for the entry of Shri Raj Shyama ji and Brahmashristies.
Shri ji described in ‘Vrat’,
“There exist five trees on Pukhraj
Mountain –two rifts
towards North-west direction with the origin of Jamuna ji in the East where
rows of palaces exists. The course of Jamuna ji is covered to a long distance.
Thereafter it flows to east openly. Then it has a turn towards South to reach Kel Bridge
in front of Royal
Mansion .
The next one is named ‘bridge of But ’. Between these two bridges are
seven built-up coasts of Jamuna ji, just in front of Royal Mansion
(Rang Mahal). On the coasts of Jamuna ji, are a series of pairs of palace and
platform. Beyond ‘But
Bridge ’ Jamuna ji turns
towards the west direction to have a conglutination with Hoz-Koshar Reservoir.
Between ‘But Bridge ’
and ‘Hoz Koshar’ is Kunjvan as described in ‘Vrat’.
As per the description in ‘Vrat’,
a quarter hour earlier than the dusk (evening) according to the ‘Day Time’ in
Paramdham, Shri Raj inquires of the Brahmashristies regarding evening
programme.
Shri Raj inquires, “To which of
the seven coasts of Shri Jamuna ji we have planned to go and play. Then Shri
Raj Shyama ji and the Brahmashristies arrive at the decided place, play there
up to the last quarter of the day till it is evening. In the first quarter of
the night, the folk-dance takes place in the coastal garden.
After playing there up to
midnight, Shri Raj Shyama ji and HIS Beloved Consorts (Brahmashristies) arrive
in the Fifth floor of the Royal
Mansion (Rang Mahal) to
sleep there over night, after which they get up in the early morning. Then they
come down to the Third floor. They look at the beauty of the outside scene of
Rang Mahal through the windows of the large hall of the third floor.
Shri Raj Shyama ji after taking
the meal in the hall of the third floor, take rest in the well known place in
the ‘Right side’, the walls of which grand room are painted in blue and yellow
colours. There Shri Raj ji makes over a plan to show the worldly drama
forcefully to the Divine Souls, while HE takes rest after the meal. The
Brahmashristies are playing in the open space of the hall themselves.
With the intention to display the
worldly drama to the Brahmashristies, Shri Raj ji creates a curiosity in the
consciousness of the Brahmashristies, who hold a long discussion over this
issue with Shri Raj as HE plans well to display the worldly drama in three
tenses –Past, Present and Future.”
In Shri Bangala ji Shri ji described,
“Shri Raj Shyama ji and Brahmashristies came over in ‘Mool-Milava’ which exists
in the first floor. There they held a long conversation. Shri Raj ji explained
them the intricacy of the illusive world and warned the Brahmashristies to
vigil and not to forget self and Paramdham while watching the drama in the
dreamy world (Maya).
The Indestructible God – Akshhar
used to create the Universes and annihilate the same in moments, which is His
hobby. This time, when Shri Raj created ambition in Brahmashristies to watch
the worldly drama, Akshhar also slept in His Eternal Abode – Akshhardham and
appeared as ‘Aadi-Narayan’ – Mahavishnu in His own dream and He created the
Universes in His dream. The Brahmashristies also descended as Divine Souls in
‘Brij’ by their consciousness, while actually they have been sitting in ‘Mool-Milava’
but in sleeping state.
The Brahmashristies lived as
‘Brij Vadhus’- Gopies for eleven years and fifty-two days & played with
Shri Krishna ji in Brij. Then they left Brij for Vrindavan, created anew in the
Universe of Yogmaya by Shri Raj when Shri Krishna ji called them by playing on
the flute. Immediately, as the Gop-Vadhus departed from Brij, the first
Universe of Brij annihilated. They all played ‘Raas’ in the newly created
Universe in Yogmaya during a long night. After ‘Raas’ was played well, that
Universe of Yogmaya also annihilated and again the Universe has been created
the third time in order to make the Brahmashristies re-appear (by consciousness
only) to experience the sorrows of separation & oblivion by making them
away from the ‘Lord’ and Paramdham in the dreamy world.
‘Akshhar’ by His consciousness
played ‘Raas’ with the Divine Souls. He was charged by the ‘Lord’. In the third
and present Universe, ‘Akshhar’ re-appeared in Arabia
as Mohammed Paigambar (earlier He appeared as Shri Krishna –Shyam ji in ‘Brij’
& ‘Raas’. Mohammed Sahib lived on the Earth for sixty-three years. He spoke
in Quran about the descent of Brahmashristies from Paramdham and added that then
‘Qayamat’ the Ultimate Day of Justice would commence. He promised that He would
re-appear on the Earth along with them (the Divine Souls).
It is indicated in Quran that in
the Tenth Century of Hizari Era, the Rooh-Allah –the Better half of the ‘Lord
Supreme’ –Shri Shyama ji would appear. Accordingly Shri Shyama ji appeared in
the person of Shri Devchandra ji. His life span was seventy-four years and He
aroused three hundred and thirteen Divine Souls duly enlightened them with the
Divine Wisdom –Tartam. He revealed the mysteries of Quran and made it easy with
the help of ‘Ilam Ludanni ‘, the key bestowed upon Him by the “Lord’ to unlock
the secrets of the Holy Scriptures.
The ‘Vrat’ programme was over
with the brief description (as narrated above); but the detailed description is
plentiful, which the Divine Souls comprehended.
Shri Raj ji (Shri ji) while taking rest on the bed,
listened to the whole ‘Vrat’ as spoken by the Sundersath. By then it was the Sunrise time. The
attendants were ready to perform the pious service pertaining to scheduled
programme of morning.
Swami Shri Laldas ji while
closing the chapter said, “O Sath ji! The detailed description of the programme
held during the twenty-four hours of Day & Night in Shri Bangala ji has
been narrated as ‘Beetak’. The praiseworthy
services rendered by Sundersath individually to Shri ji must be regarded as
‘Lord’s Adoration’ by the Brahmashristies.
Prakaran
71 – Chopai 4332
CHAPTER 72 – CHHATTIS KARKHAANE
Swami Shri Laldas ji described
the programme held in Shri Bangala ji during the eight quarters of Day &
Night. Now the services rendered individually by the Sundersath would be
narrated.
The pious job of the management
at the behest of Shri ji was being carried out by Gareeb das, who uttered, “Now
I am unable to discharge my duties.
“Kindly, assign this job to some
body else: I feel incapability to carry out this service, which I was
assigned at Ramnagar.” Upon his repeated
requests, Shri ji was pleased to reappoint Shri Laldas ji on his post.
When Shri ji had been in Garha,
He had directed Shri Laldas ji to go to Delhi
to convey the Divine Message to Aurangzeb, the Emperor. Then Shri Laldas ji,
who was looking after the management, assigned the job to Vrindavan Bhai, as
the management work was very important (before proceeding to Delhi ).
At the same time, when Shri
Laldas ji presented the reference of Moosa & Haroon as contained in Quran
to Shri ji, his programme to proceed to Delhi
was cancelled and Shri Laldas ji was asked to stay. Later on, Shri ji asked Shri
Laldas ji to go to Parna ji (Panna) to convey the Divine Message to Maharaja
Shri Chhatrashal.
Shri ji directed Shri Laldas ji
to go to Panna to meet Maharaja Chhatrashal, convey His Divine Message and ask
him to come over to Garha and see Him.
As such, Vrindavan was in charge
of the management work when Shri Laldas ji left Garha & arrived at Panna.
But on his return from Panna, Vrindavan expressed his inability to continue as
Manager, hence Shri Laldas ji was again assigned the same job.
Shri ji pressed Shri Laldas ji to
possess the key of the treasury. He spoke to him, “This service is entrusted to
you as per orders of Shri Raj ji (the Supreme Lord).
The management of thirty-six
departments was again in the hands of Shri Laldas ji. He managed to supply the
required commodities to different managers (workers) of these thirty-six
departments, when asked for.
Shri Bai Ju Raj was looking after
the services of the workers. Shri Laldas ji always consulted her and managed to
supply the required commodities including garments etc. to fulfil the desires
and the daily requirements.
Shri Laldas ji always managed to
provide the garments and ornaments to Shri ji and Shri Bai Ju Raj and other
Sundersath too. He took hearty interest in the service as a manager by providing
new clothes daily.
Shri Laldas ji managed for all
sorts of grains, pulses etc. as well as the fruits and vegetables, dry fruits,
sweets and herbal medicines at all time as and when required. All these
commodities were stored well in ‘Modikhana’ (department of stores).
In a different store ‘Visatkhana’
(department of miscellaneous commodities), cotton, yarn, utensils, garments of
all kinds –royal dresses as well as ordinary ones used by renounced persons and
the like were stored and supplied to the Sundersath when demanded.
Shri Laldas ji was always present
to provide his services to Shri ji without any delay. He set an example to work
honestly, earnestly and laboriously to teach the lesson to others.
Subordinates to Shri Laldas ji
were Ghanshyam das for account-work and Dharam Das as storekeeper.
To assist them Santdas, Chaturdas,
Manik Bhai and Kalyan Bhai were also arriving there from time to time.
Bhikaridas was treasurer for some
time, then Shri Makrand Bhai took over the job from him. Then Ganga Bhai
succeeded them . All these Sundersath performed their services whole-heartedly.
First, Shri Makrand Bhai was
keeping the store of garments, which he used to supply the same to Shri ji and
other Sundersath. Later, Khemkaran succeeded him and managed to perform his
duties.
First of all Shri ji ordered to
Narayan das to keep store of clothes and garments and supply the same as per
the requirements. He performed this service very interestedly. Later, Khemkaran
was substituted for him.
Swami Shri Laldas ji while
closing the chapter said, “O Sath ji! I have mentioned the names of those who
performed their services as assigned to each of them by Shri ji. The names of
other Sundersath still remain to be mentioned. Those who loved the Lotus Feet
of Shri Raj (Shri ji) were well prepared to perform services to please Him.”
Prakaran
72 – Chopai 4352
CHAPTER 73 – GARMI KEY DINO KEE
SEVAA
Swami Shri Laldas ji henceforth
described about the services rendered by Sundersath during summer season. He
said, “During summer season, perfumed atmosphere was created in Shri Bangala ji
where Shri ji and Sundersath stayed day and night. All sorts of scents of
different type of fragrance were purchased while the rose essence filled in big
bottles was also procured.
Ganga Ram was keeping up the
store of fragrant spices. Besides, the rich store of fragrant roots of the
grass used for cooling purposes (Khas) was managed which was purchased along
with other materials.
Ganga Ram was preparing manually
mats of the fragrant roots of the grass with the bamboo’s slender sticks to
hang the same on the doors and windows and sprinkled them with water in order
to cool the corridors Shri Bangala ji during the summer. Shri Bangala ji has a
grass-roof which, Ganga Ram wet it by sprinkling water over it. Others also
assisted him in this job.
Oka Bhai, Krishna Das, Dayal das
and Mohammed Khan assisted Ganga Ram to hang and tie the mats on the doors and
windows.
Fateh Mohammed used to erect the
Khas-mats and tie them up. Other Sundersath were also rendering their services
in Shri Bangala ji very attentively. They took parts to yield results of their
labour, equally.
The carpentry when required was
carried out by Mohan Bhai and Hiraman Bhai. To arrange for string, thread and
the like for binding, Mohan Bhai and Bool Chand Bhai were responsible.
Bamboo-pieces and its slender
sticks were brought by means of carts by ‘Purviyas Bhai’ (a group of special
type of peasants) the residents of Panna. Jaggu Bhai and Veerju Bhai attended
instantly when called for to manage for keeping up the store of these
materials.
Narayan Das was stitching the
edges of the mats with red coloured cloth-tapes. When the mats were erected and
tied, Shri ji used to take rest in Shri Bangala ji during the daytime.
The carpets, beds etc. were
removed from the floor of Shri Bangala ji. The floor was cooled by water
sprinkling by Inayat Khan, Bhagwan Das and Ganga Ram together.
Bihari Das removed the cushion
and bed from the bedstead and the floor with the assistance of other Sundersath.
Veerji Modi had recognized Shri ji as the ‘Lord Supreme’ of Paramdham and on
the basis of this hearty faith, he performed the service of sprinkling the
water everywhere to cool the floor.
Nand Ram was bringing water
repeatedly in cane, while Vallabh Das sprinkled it on the floor till the soil
of the floor was well saturated in order to make it so cool that no heat of the
warm air could affect it. The inside air of the hall and corridors of Shri Bangala
ji was also cool, as the curtains of Khas-pads of the doors and windows were
also sprinkled.
There were Sundersath ready to
stand eagerly on a foot to perform the sacred service of swinging large
air-fans manually (at that time in the Seventeenth Century no electricity was
generated, hence electric fans were not used). Bihari das and sometimes, Ganga
Das were waiving the large hand-fans to please Shri ji and Sundersath sitting
in Shri Bangala ji.
Shankar das was holding the large
sized fan in his hands to waive. When Maharaja Shri Chhatrashal would arrive,
he used to waive the fan with his hands and perform the pious service.
As long as Shri ji used to take
rest on the bed, other attendants were performing the service of waiving the
fans. Four persons were always ready. Vallabh Das and Shankar Das were doing
this especially.
Others, in this pious service,
were Ganga das, Ganga Ram, Bihari Das and
Santram who attended to perform this service at all time.
Swami Shri Laldas ji described,
“There were so many others too, who were attending to perform this service of
waiving the fans for other souls’ interest. The pleasure they felt in their
hearts can not be spoken in words.”
This service was earlier
performed by Nirmal Das; then, later on, Premdas also performed it as special
job.
Shri Laldas ji and Shri Mukund
das ji were also assisting Nirmal Das. Govind das and Surti Bhai were feeling
pleasure by rendering their pious services by all means.
Jamuna Bai, Manik Bai and Ram Bai
were also present at all time to please Shri ji with their pious services. Lastly
Vallabh das too was present near Shri ji to please Him with his hearty service.
Haqiqat Khan was arranging to
send rose essence filled in bottles. Ganga Ram sprinkled it over the bed where
Shri ji took rest.
Premdas used to supply thin
garments suitable in summer season to Shri ji and other Sundersath. Later on,
Nand Ram Bhai performed this service.
Lastly, Vallabh das took over
this service too as he had been bearing the burden of all sorts of services on
his shoulders. He was very laborious. He performed all sorts of services very
attentively to please Shri ji and Sundersath by all means.
Mavji Bhai arrived at Panna from
Pore Bandar (Saurashtra) during the summer season. He looked after the work of
storekeeper of the fruits like pomegranate (Anaar), which he always supplied to
Shri ji. He also took over the job of writing the letters to Sundersath of
other places, who did not accompany Shri ji.
Aash Bai, having impression of
the consciousness of the Divine Soul of Paramdham, who appeared on the Earth as
Swami Shri Laldas ji bowed at the Lotus Feet of Maha Prabhu Shri Prannath ji,
who always called him to be near to Him.
Swami Shri Laldas ji while
closing the last chapter of Shri Beetak (his adorable work) described, “O
Sundersath ji – My Colleagues of Paramdham! I have mentioned the names of those
Sundersath who had performed the pious services to please Mahamati Shri
Prannath ji. Those, who were graced by the ‘Lord Supreme’ (Shri Raj ji) were
always standing ready to dedicate to perform services as Shri Raj ji caught
hold of their hands to shower HIS MERCY over them forever.
