Directives by Poojya Gurudev
- Try to achieve a mental state of 'I am nothing, I have nothing'. Whether a king or a commoner, everyone on this earth came from nothingness (शून्यता) and will go back to it. Thus, why the ego! Aspire to be egoless (अहंकार शून्य) thoughtless (विचार शून्य) and achieve the param-atman or the ultimate nothingness.
- Once you achieve the state of nothingness, lead a life on the path shown by your Guru and perform your worldly duties without getting attached (अनासक्ति), then at the time of leaving your body, you only carry the thought of your Guru or Guru-sthan(that is Shoonya) and leave all bondages behind. As per Param Poojya Gurudev, a person who is able to reach such a state is called a good person (अच्छा इंसान). Strive to become one. Constant Self analysis(आत्म-विश्लेषण) and self control are essential tools to grow on this path.
- Guru is the ultimate shoonya and thus remember him not in his human form but as a divine avatar. Remember him with utmost and unwavering dedication, faith and reverence. Guru's blessings are beyond time and space. Only when we remember him with a simple, selfless and sincere mind, we realise the true essence of his blessings. These blessings destroy the sense of "I" in us and lead us on the path of nothingness. Thus it's the Shoonya energy in the form of a Guru that leads us back to the Shoonya.
- Be like water, simple and fluid. Adjust yourself as per your surroundings. Reduce yourself (your ego) to smaller than the size of an atom so that you can become one with your surroundings.
- Become diligent while inculcating the attitude of serving others and become empathetic towards everyone. (कर्मठ, सेवाभावी, संवेदनशील).
- For those who have got Deeksha in Kriya Yoga to follow the practice of Kriya with complete devotion, this will help them achieve self-realisation. For others, follow the path of Bhakti with complete faith in their Guru and the divine.
- To fulfil one's responsibilities towards their Guru-sthan and serving the Guru-sthan is equivalent to serving their Guru.
- As per a famous quote of Shree Ramkrishna, “জীবে দয়া করে যেই জন, সেই জন সেবিছে ঈশ্বর”. It means to have empathy and to serve the other life forms on this earth is the same as serving God. Poojya Gurudev directs us to imbibe this principle into our lives and in order to help us achieve that, he founded the Daridra Narayan Sewa Trust. Be a servant to this world with a feeling that we are serving the almighty.
- Poojya Gurudev has established the temples of Dwadash Jyotirlinga, Matri Mandir, Panchvati Tapovanam so that the devotees can stay connected to the Ashram and regularly involve themselves in Bhagwat Sewa and Aatm-Sewa and grow on the path of spirituality.
The temple of Dwadash Jyotirlingam was founded by Param Poojya Gurudev in February 2020. Param Poojya Gurudev himself performed pran-pratishtha for the Jyotirlingas. Starting 2021, every year, the Maha Shivaratri Pooja is performed at one of the Jyotirlingas that will culminate in a Maha Yagya in the 13th year. There is also a Jyotirling representing the Ardhanarishwar form of Lord Shiva within the premises of the Dwadash Jyotirlingam temple.
Just beside Dwadash Jyotirling is the temple dedicated to Maa Jagatjanani. The place holds key significance, also being the Deeksha Mandir. The temple is radiant with positive energies, bestowing illumination upon all the devotees who step foot within its sacred premises. Every Navratri, an elaborate Pooja is conducted at Mandir dedicated to Maa Adi-Shakti commencing with invocation of Maa on Sthapna and ending with visarjan on Utthapan.
Feel the divine blessings of Poojya Gurudev and experience serenity amongst the natural glory of Panchvati Tapovanam & be reminded of the Panchavati of famous Dakshineshwar temple. It has been created to provide a space for the devotees to meditate in solitude & reflect internally amidst the powerful spiritual temples of Shree PashupatiNath Ji and Baba Amarnath, the pran-pratishtha for both of which have been done by Param Poojya Gurudev himself.
Through Daridra Narayan Sewa, every Sunday and on some special occasions volunteers come together at Ashram to prepare and distribute food in backward localities. Many other essentials like footwear, blankets, sweaters, clothes and educational aids are also periodically distributed to the needy as part of Sewa.
The Dhyan Yoga Center provides the necessary environment for the devotees to pursue their spiritual path on the path of Bhakti or Kriya. Param Poojya Pahari Baba had unified the two streams of Bhakti Yoga (Tantra based) and Kriya Yoga and the devotees can experience a unique amalgamation of the two at this Center.
Poojya Pahari Baba had envisioned basic Education and Health to be available to all. To promote literacy in society, financial aid for education is provided to underprivileged kids. Under health mission, medical camps are organized periodically where specialists of all 3 streams of medicine: Ayurveda, Homeopathy & Allopathy, provide free consultation, medicines, vaccines and aids to visitors.
