Experience Of Devotees

Experience Of Devotees :

It is impossible here to render a comprehensive and deep philosophical interpretation of the subtle subject of His having descended upon earth as an Incarnation. However, in general, innumerable devout persons who came near Him experienced a divine presence which could be experienced by anyone. In addition to this, some devotees, had visions of their chosen Deities within Him. Some devotees, during great calamities or unhappiness had, by His grace, acquired relief, consolation and help and what is more important is that some devotees, by His grace, had obtained more or less devotion, knowledge or other spiritual experiences. Samhitas like Bhrugu, Surya, Varah have sung His glory. In short, as described in the scriptures of what sort God is, and how enjoyable it is to remain near Him and that there exist to the highest degree the divine qualities of truth, non-violence, compassion, knowledge, forgiveness, purity etc. at their climatic level this all could be understood and experienced by residing near Him only and not otherwise.

Works Relating Incarnation :

Prabhushree At the end of the year 1968 A.D., during the auspicious days of festival of Navratri He came from Kutiyana to Rajkot and resided at a residence called ‘Shyamal’. At this very place, He resided for a period of fourteen years and carried on the work of universal welfare and while doing so; He gave up His body on 2^nd August, 1982 A.D. i.e. Shravan Sood 13.

During these fourteen years, He had hardly come out of His residence. He remained completely aloof from the world and yet He did not remain detached from the circumstances that prevailed upon the earth. Whatever work that He performed He used to do while keeping Himself at a distance from publicity, propaganda or fame and in accordance with the command received from Para-Brahm Parmatma (the Supreme Lord) by remaining in complete harmony with Him and receiving commands inspirations or Darshans (divine visions) from the above. Upon having a glimpse of any annihilating incident likely to befall upon the earth, or receiving news from the Newspapers, He used to sit jointly in prayers with devotees (Akhand Dhun) and used to get up only after receiving favourable message of elimination of such a calamity and begin to perform His daily tasks. It has been experienced that He had saved in such a manner many a times the people from such disaster type calamities.

Slowly and slowly a small group of devotees started coming into existence. Devotees loving Prabhushri used to collectively perform His divine incarnate work and remained in divine joy, spread His teachings and used to remain absorbed in a constant endeavour in shaping their spiritual lives. He used to let them have ‘Darshans’ (visions) and experiences. Apart from incidents taking place in a natural course relating to the subject of spirituality, He never indulged in hypocrisy or perform miracles.

Important Work :

In connection with the incident that took place in Salem in the year 1971 A.D., He had sent His devotees there twice, and made them parade there while reciting ‘Akhand Dhun’ and cleansed the tainted atmosphere prevailing there. In this manner, after the conquest of antariksha (outer atmosphere) the important work that was taken up on hand was that of construction of Satya-Yuga Shri Ramji Mandir (see The Temple). Necessary improvements were made in the existing temple, the pictures and writings in conformity with the ideals of Satya-Yuga etc. were installed. For six months Akhand Dhun was performed and thereafter in the year 1973 A.D. on the auspicious day of ‘Dev-Diwali’, He Himself with His own hands consecrated the idol of Shri Ramchandraji Bhagwan having four hands (i.e. invested idol with life). By hard work and Tapas (penance) a spiritual temple was created. This center established by Him became a Holy Divine Place Of Pilgrimage.
