AVTAAR MEHAR BABA- PARVARDIGAAR

Meher BabaMeherwan Sheriar Irani (Meher Baba) was born in Pune, India in February 1894. His parents were of Persian origin.

He was first educated in Dastur Girls’ School and later in St. Vincent High School, from where he was matriculated. In 1913, while in his first year at Deccan College he came in contact with Hazrat Babajan, one of the five Perfect Masters of the Age, who by a kiss on his forehead awakened him to the experience of what one may call God-realization. During the course of subsequent seven years Upasani Maharaj, another Perfect Master of the age gave him knowledge of his infinite state and integrated his God-consciousness with the consciousness of the gross world, preparing him thus for his role. He was reported to have met the other three perfect Masters of the time before he came in contact with Upasani Maharaj, but no record of what happened in such meeting is available, except that Sai Baba of Shirdi uttered “Parvardigar” on seeing him.

In 1921, he began his divine work with the early disciples he had collected around him while living in a hut built for him by Shri Sadashiv Govind Shelke at Shivajinagar, Pune near the popular shrine of goddess Chatusringi. After a few years of intensive training of these disciples and travel with them in India and Iran, Meher Baba finally established, what is now called ‘Meher Retreat’ at Meherabad, on the outskirts of Arangaon village in Ahmednagar. Here he instituted various activities of ego service and self-giving love for the disciples. Judged from the standard of worldly activities, these may appear to an objective observer as charitable, social, cultural or educational activities, which though valuable in that period of Indian history, were insignificant. But viewed from an angle of spiritual emancipation of mankind for which alone Perfect Master is ordained in the divine plan of God’s functioning these activities were motivations or spiritual stimulation for the transformation of all spheres of existence, planes of consciousness and departments of life.

Meher Baba began his unique silence on 10th July 1925, and stopped writing in 1927. At first he communicated by writing on slates, then by pointing to letters on an alphabet board, which he gave up on 7th October 1954. Thereafter he conversed through his own unique shorthand system of representative gestures.
Though silent and abstaining from writing, Meher Baba had released a large volume of works revealing the spiritual theme of human life clearer than any master had ever done before him, explaining creation, evolution of consciousness through infinite variety of forms, re-incarnation and involution of consciousness in a language intelligible to an average man’s understanding and at the same time scientific and logical in convincing the rationalist.

The history of man’s search for his soul has produced few works dealing with the technique for the soul’s discovery. Meher Baba’s discourses are a major contribution to that small body of literature. In this work, given to his close disciples in the period 1938–43, he describes the means of incorporating daily life into one’s spiritual ongoing. He also outlines the structure of Creation, but only to clarify the relationship of the aspirant to the Master. In his classic later work ‘God Speaks’ Meher Baba described in detail the vertical system of God, His Will to know Himself consciously, and the purpose of creation in the Will . The discourses on the other hand are the practical guide for the aspirant as he slowly finds his way back to Oneness, after having developed consciousness through the deeps of evolution. While the discourse provide detailed descriptions of the Path and its disciplines. Rather, they are a constant, firm reminder of the need for a Master on this Path of apparent return to Oneness. The Master is the knowing guide who had already traversed the Path, who provides with infinite patience the secure and steady pace that can lead to the goal. While Baba admits the possibility of achieving progress without such a guide, he makes it clear that it is fraught with almost insurmountable problems, and difficulties.

To one who debates allying himself with a teacher of the inner processes, the discourses provide invaluable insight. To one who senses that life is to be lived for its positive contribution to the discovery of the inner being, Baba provides the unarguable description of one who knows. His other books, ‘Listen, Humanity,’ ‘ Life At Its Best’, ‘Beams on the Spiritual Panorama’, ‘The Everything & The Nothing’ were given by him to educate the minds of earnest aspirants after Truth, giving them enough intellectual insight to understand the falsity of this material world and ego-centric and separative existence, and to awaken love for Truth (God) and longing for living in Truth (God).

Meher Baba had widely traveled all over India. Iran and other Eastern countries contacting large numbers of people. In the 1930s Baba’s travels began to reach Europe and then to America. His name rapidly became known to those deeply and sincerely interested in the spiritual discipline on both continents.

When not on travels, which were practically stopped in 1958 after his last global tour, he lived mostly in Meherabad, in Ahmednagar District, the field of his concentrated activities and where almost all of his lovers’ gatherings were held till 1958. During summer months from April through June every year he used to stay in Pune, where his activities began centralising since 1956 and finally shifted to from 1958 onwards. Baba’s life can be divided into Ekantavas (seclusion) Upavas (fast) and Sahavas (living with others).

His life in seclusion and fasting was considered to be a period of intensive work in invisible spheres of existence and on planes of consciousness speeding up the evolution of Creation, descending divinity into the gross plane raising the consciousness of mankind. His external activities of contacting men individually and collectively sowed the seeds of love in their hearts which awaken them to a life of love and sacrifice and perpetuate his name and the truth he revealed.

A persistent theme throughout the forty eight years of Meher Baba’s work had been his seeking out of what he called ‘mast’ (God-intoxicated) and his homage to those afflicted by disease and want. ‘The Wayfarers’ by Dr. William Donkin is a valuable record of these activities of Meher Baba which unfold avenues of understanding the psychology of human life as never before known to mankind.


Those stricken by leprosy have been a constant concern of Meher Baba. With infinite care and love he washed their feet, bowed his forehead to the often twisted stumps on which they toddle, and sent them on their way with renewed hopes and peace. They are like beautiful birds caught in an ugly cage,” he once said on such an occasion. “Of all the tasks that I have to perform, this touches me most deeply.”

His disciples, known as ‘mandali’, resident with him were representative of what one may call miniature world family not only unified diverse religions and regions of the world, but represented all aspects of human nature through whom he worked to free the consciousness of mankind from the illusion of separative existence and tendencies. While Baba manifested divinity in its pristine beauty and glory through his ever changing moods and movements his mandali expressed humanity in all its nakedness through their life of love and service.
His was a life of infinite suffering which he termed as moment to moment’s crucifixion, sustained by what he called His infinite bliss. The drama of his divine life on earth ended at 12.15 p.m. on 31st January 1969 establishing his individuality in the indivisibility of God’s infinite existence.

GAJANAN MAHARAAJ- DATTA AVATAAR










                                                                   SHRI GAJAANAN MAHARAAJ, SHEGAON




 Gajanan Maharaj of ShegaonThere is hardly any authenticated information about the early life of Shri Gajanan Avdhoot, popularly known as Gajanan Maharaj. His place of birth, date of birth, parentage etc. are shrouded with mystery, although people speculate that he was born in a place named Sajjangarh in Maharashtra. It has been experienced that the terminal points (birth and death) in the lives of spiritually advanced souls is often mystical. Shri Gajanan did not reveal about his past and did not encourage people to search for it.
However, Shri Gajanan Avdhoot was first noticed collecting left over food items in a garbage dump on the outskirts of village Shegaon in Mahrashtra by a person named Bankatlal Aggarwal. The Maharaj, although having a shining and extremely healthy body, was at that time in a Super conscious state without a sense of his body; for he had no clothes on his person. Bankatlal, who had earlier association with some spiritually advanced persons, sensed that the apparently crazy person collecting food from the dustbin might be a ‘Siddha’. It was 23rd February, 1878. Bankatlal, along with a friend named Damodar Pant Kulkarni approached Maharaj with humility and asked "Maharaj, why are you eating left over food, if you are hungry, I will certainly make arrangements for you." However, Maharaj paid no heed to his words and continued to eat his food in a state of utter detachment. Seeing this, Bankatlal ran to the Ashram situated nearby, collected whatever food he could, and came back to Maharaj. As he offered food, Maharaj mixed up all the food items and gulped it down. It may be understood that the saints at this level actually do not have a sense of taste as they are beyond the body state. Bankatlal, thereafter, went away to collect some drinking water. By the time he returned, he was shocked to see Maharaj happily drinking water from the reservoir meant for cattle. Bankatlal was convinced that he was in the presence of no ordinary mortal but a highly evolved spiritual entity. He prostrated in reverence and asked for blessings. By the time he lifted his head, Maharaj had vanished from there. Disappearance and reappearance are one of the eight ‘siddhis’ or powers that yogis of India used to possess in the past.


Bankatlal was extremely sad and depressed at the sudden disappearance of Maharaj but at that time little did he know that Gajanan Avdhoot was his own Sadguru (the Master) who had himself come at that time. Sadgurus or Perfect Masters attract or reach their disciples when the appropriate time comes, to lead them to their spiritual goal. Their attraction becomes so powerful that it becomes difficult for anyone to resist. No doubt, therefore, that Bankatlal was so sad at his disappearance. His mind could think of nothing except Gajanan Avdhoot all the time and he searched for him whole day without any success. However, he again found Maharaj in the evening when he went to the old Shiva temple to join the worship. He was overjoyed to find him and in an emotionally choked voice requested Baba to come and stay in his house. Maharaj, on his request, came to his house from where his divine function (Leela) started.


The function of the Sadguru is to give a universal push to all the human beings and other species towards spiritual evolution. For them, caste, religion, sex, nationality and even difference in species etc. does not matter. They are humans with human beings and animals with animals. When they start playing this role, people from far and wide start getting drawn as if by the pull of an invisible force. In fact, this is what Shri Sainath used to say, "I draw my children from thousands of miles like a child pulling a bird with a string tied to its legs". With the advent of Gajanan Avdhoot thousands of them experienced temporal upliftment. With so many people visiting his house, Bankatlal tried to make whatever arrangements he could. It is not easy to have a perfect master as one's guest, as social or religious laws do not limit them. Whatever they say or think, happens as they only carry out the functions of God with the help of nature. Their behavior at times becomes extremely unpredictable to the common man. At times they behave like children, at times like a mad man or even like a person possessed. Nevertheless whatever they do, it is for the good of others. Only spiritually advanced people can understand this motivation behind the actions of a Sadguru. Maharaj often used to quietly escape out Bankatlal used to search him out by strenuous efforts and would request him to come back.


One day Maharaj quietly strayed away to another village named Adgaon. At about mid day, when the sun was on the high, he approached a farmer cultivating his land and requested for drinking water, the farmer had with him. The farmer, named Bhaskar Patel, thought that he was one of the ordinary types of mendicant sadhus and started rebuking him saying that he would not give a drop of water which he has carried from home to a sadhu who is a parasite on the society. Maharaj only smiled without any reaction and slowly walked towards what looked like an old well. Bhaskar Patel again started teasing him from behind saying that it is a dry well and how can any fool get water from there. Maharaj reached the well and meditated for a few moments and soon the well, which was dry for about twelve years, was filled with clean water. He quenched his thirst with this water. Seeing this miracle, Bhaskar Patel realized that he (Maharaj) was no ordinary man and profusely apologized for his intemperate behavior. The Sadgurus are the ocean of love and mercy, and they are incapable of getting annoyed or angry-far to speak of being revengeful to the creations of God. That is why the epithets "Kripa Sindhu" (Ocean of grace) or "Daya Nidhi" (Abode of Mercy) etc. are used for them. Seeing the plight of Bhaskar Patel moved Maharaj told him that he has created water for him in the well so that Patel does not have to carry water from the village strenuously every day for cultivation or drinking. The love that we sometimes feel within us, the depth of kindness that stirs in our heart when we are in touch with a Sadguru, is because the Sadguru first showers his total love and compassion on us without any qualification and even without our asking. This is what in known as "Ahetuk Kripa" (the grace without asking) Thus, by total sacrifice of himself, the Sadguru tries to evolve his children towards their goal and teach that sacrifice for others without any intention of getting returns raises Godly qualities in human beings. The Sadguru teaches, by his own examples that in order to shine one must sacrifice one self. No one can truly help others without any sacrifice on himself.


Protection of the Sadguru is the strongest armoury in a person’s life because the extent to which a Sadguru can go to protect his children cannot be imagined. Once Maharaj; invited by Bankatlal, went to his farmland to eat corn stalk (Bhutta). Baba, along with a group of devotees sat under a tree, lit fire and started roasting the corn (Bhutta). No body had seen that there was a honey beehive on the tree. As the smoke from the fire reached the hive, the honeybees got out in swarms and started stinging everybody. Except Maharaj all of the devotees ran away. All the honeybees, thereafter, settled on the body of Maharaj who continued to stay unmoved and in his normal composure. Suddenly Bankatlal saw this from a distance and was moved by the plight of Maharaj. When he approached Maharaj to render help, Maharaj addressing the honeybees said, "you go back to your own place. My dear devotee Bankatlal should suffer no pain". No sooner than he uttered these words that the entire swarm of honeybees returned back to the hive. The devotees on return saw that Baba's whole body was full of stings. No ordinary person can quietly bear the stinging of a swarm of honeybees. All of them started thinking that Maharaj must be in pain. Seeing their plight Shri Gajanan Maharaj gave a smile and took a deep breath. At once all the stings fell out of his body in hundreds. In this case what the Sadguru did was to take on his own body the pain of the honeybees stings and not allowing his children to suffer.


After a short stay at Khodgaon, the Maharaj returned to Shegaon. There he moved to the house of one Khandu Patil. His style of living was so ordinary like that of Shri Sai Baba of Shirdi that it was not easy for everyone to make out about of the depth of his spiritual personality in the first look. One day, about ten South Indian Brahmins, with the intention of earning some money came to Maharaj, who was sleeping under the cover of a blanket. Suddenly Maharaj woke up during the recitation and pointed out to the Brahmins that they were pronouncing the vedas in a wrong manner. Thereafter, he himself started reciting. Soon the Brahmins realized that Maharaj was a Saint of very high spiritual order and prostrated at his feet. Maharaj blessed them all and also gave them dakshina.
One day Maharaj went to the Nilakanth temple near the village and desired to stay there. Patil built a palm cottage for him and people started visiting the place. Once a group of Gossains (a type of Sadhu) claiming to be the disciples of one Brahmin Guruji reached the place where Baba was staying.


The pretentious Sadhus demanded halwa, puri (a variety of food in India) and ganja (opium) from Patil. They also told him that by doing so he would get more virtue than by serving a mad and naked person like Gajanan Maharaj. After taking his food just in order to prove his superiority over Maharaj the group leader, Brahmagiriji started lecturing on Bhagavad-Gita to draw attention of people. He started explaining "Nainam chhindanti Sastrani, Nainam Dahati Pavakam"- meaning ‘neither weapons can destroy the soul nor can fire burn it’. In spite of his efforts, people were found to be collecting around Gajanan Maharaj who was smoking his Chilum (clay tobacco pipe) sitting on a wooden bed right opposite to Brahmagiriji. His ego was hurt and he became very angry finding absence of proper public appreciation and attention. Strange are the ways of Sadgurus. In this situation a strange thing happened. The bed on which Maharaj was sitting suddenly caught fire. As the fire rose up the disciples of Maharaj requested him to get out of fire and also started arranging for water. Maharaj said that neither water would be used to extinguish fire nor would he get out of the fire bed. Addressing Brahmagiriji who was enjoying the sight, Maharaj said, "since you have been telling people for the last one hour that neither weapon can destroy nor fire can burn the soul, please come and prove it by sitting on fire." On this Brahmagiriji did not react but tried to avoid the situation. Then Maharaj asked a physically strong disciple to catch hold of Brahmagiriji and bring him before Maharaj. One can well imagine the condition of a pretentious sadhu in such a situation. His ego was totally shattered and he repented not only for his behavior but also for his pretentiousness. Maharaj pardoned him and advised him on the path to be followed for spiritual upliftment.


The Sadguru is the Universal Guru. He deals with each person at his level of consciousness. He tries to destroy their ego through his superior power in order to evolve that person. Sadguru removes all such limitations of mind and body that are not conducive to the evolution of a soul slowly. What methods in the gross, subtle or mental level the Sadguru may use can never be predicted by anyone.
