‘મહામાનવ’ – દરેક હ્રદયની વેદના અનુભવતું હૃદય!

On a day when visible smiles painted the sky with colourful kites, there were invisible voiceless cries of injured birds waiting to be heard. Innumerable Jain organisations, animal welfare NGOs and government organisations had set up camps across the country to save such birds.

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.

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?”

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.
