‘મહામાનવ’ – દરેક હ્રદયની વેદના અનુભવતું હૃદય!

How many times have we experienced situations where someone junior to us disobeys us, and we become REACTIVE because our ego gets hurt? It was December 2017, and Param Gurudev was in Deolali. He was blessing one and all with profound vachanas from the Aagam scriptures.

One evening, several gurubhakts were doing bhakti in Param Gurudev’s sanidhya. Param Gurudev never misses a chance to bless those around him with inspiration for their aatmakalyan. That day, his eyes fell on a gurubhakt, and Param Gurudev asked him, “Your hands were joined throughout the bhakti for the last 28 minutes! Do you know what will be the result of this gesture?”

In December 2022, Param Gurudev was at Palitana. More than 100 gurubhakts from Punadi had specially come to Palitana for the kshetra sparshna of this divine land with Param Gurudev. Next morning after the yatra, everybody was taken to a place named Rohishala on the banks of a River named Shetrunji for early morning meditation.

For Guru, every shishya is like a child. And the one who experiences Guru’s care, never yearns for affection or love from anyone else in this entire world! Param Gurudev was in Punadi, Kutch, during the 2022 chaturmas. His selfless love and boundless grace had won the hearts of innumerable villagers who were not Jain by birth.

The second wave of COVID-19 hit India in 2021. From 50+ sant-satijis in Param Gurudev’s shishya samuday, 36 of them contacted corona and were shifted from Vadia to Rajkot’s Uvasaggahar Sadhana Bhavan. Param Gurudev’s stay was safely organised in the newly-constructed Shyam Prabhu Niketan Apartment nearby.
