Lessons in Sanatana Dharma



Pujya Shree AsaramJi Bapu and his teachings have been compared by his disciples as sacred manna from the heaven and one of those many is his lesson on the greatness of Sanatana Dharma.

Pujya Shree told his disciples told that Sanatana Dharma is an ancient religion that is not only followed in this world but also in other planes of existence. This great religion was followed by enlightened men, emperors and kings since time immemorial. Different religions have come to existence and ended but Sanatana Dharma has remained consistent and has shown the path to advancement and progress to entire humanity for ages. Sanatana Dharma have existed in the heart of every human being in the form of eternal truth. Awakening of the eternal truth shows man the path to eternal bliss. The closer a person is to the truth, the happier he is going to be and more likely to awaken dormant powers by connecting with Absolute Consciousness.

Instead of doing that the modern man is busy aggrandizing his person and seeking material wealth and bliss that eventually lead him away from real happiness and make him sadder by the day. Even worse is the sad fact that man still run after these futile goals hoping to be gratified but unfortunately that is just not the case. In doing that the individual loses his own self and drifts further away from his Supreme self.

Pujya BapuJi teaches his students that anyone who has attained his own inner self is the one who has attained supreme happiness. It is the truth of nature that every man and woman who has come to this world will eventually be consigned to flames and those who did nothing but indulge in material pursuits is the biggest loser because he loses not only all of his material possessions but also the precious time of his life that he or she could have used to attain Eternal Peace.


Thus those who have listened and imbibed the precious teachings of the Saint will be have not only made his life better but also would have accumulated invaluable nuggets for his or her personal life. Lessons such as these taught by our revered Pujya Shree are very necessary at a time such as these when anti-nationalistic forces are trying to tear apart the fabric of unity woven together by great Saints of our nation.

More than 40 years of selfless service that continues



More than 40 years of selfless service by Pujya Shree BapuJi and his family is a matter that cannot be trivialized. The 4 long decades have been rife with adversities and challenges but at no stage have AsaramJi Bapu flinched or thought twice about his personal discomforts. He followed wherever natural calamities or catastrophes followed, carrying the message of love and kindness with him all along. This great act of Saintliness and cannot and should not be discounted. Unfortunately those that wish nothing but ill for BapuJi have forgotten all of that in their craze to make money with downright cheap content on their channels.

Supporters of the Saint have been forced to endure dire insults on the name of their Spiritual leader and everyone connected to him. There is no doubt in the minds of millions of supporters that a dark conspiracy is at play here but what appals and shocks every one is the apathy of media channels towards general public. It has now become very clear that these media houses will stop at nothing when it comes to printing money.

The general public who knew nothing of the Kind AsaramJi Bapu is equally shocked how a particular section of the media and politicians have targeted Hindu Saints solely based on their religion! Not only that, they have also pulled in completely innocent women and children in their folds of conspiracy without stopping for a moment what would happen to the unfortunate families and their near and dear ones. The untold miseries that have caused are only left to the imagination of the compassionate masses because apparently those that have the baton are definitely not interested in doing what they have been entrusted with.


But these conspirators who harbour nothing but negative sentiments and hatred are realizing it the hard the hard way that no matter how hard they try they will never succeed in shaking the faith or dislodge the trust which supporters have placed in their leaders. The point we all need to imbibe deep into our hearts is that all negative representation is the outcome of vested interests driven by the greed of power be it political or apolitical.

Let Your Voice Be Heard – How Everyone Of Us Can Help Bringing Justice To Bapuji



The moment when there is an attack on truth and integrity of Hindutva, saints throughout the great nation of Bharat assimilate and ensure that no harm is done to what is right and pure. We, Indians, owe everything we have today to the great Rishis and Sadhaks of the supreme power who have repeatedly laid down their lives on the altar of the nation and well-being of its people. But now when the same Saint who protected and nourished millions of us; has been put in jail not even a fraction has come forward in his support.

There is no doubt that a lot of us have shown amazing support and love for BapuJi, but that is well short of the love that is all our hearts combined.

Just imagine if a handful of us can make detractors so desperate as to bring one false case after another and new charge-sheets every few months to keep BapuJi behind bars, what will happen if all us unite. The enemies will realize that the roar for justice is not just they have been seeing - it can get loud enough to shake them to their very foundations. It is therefore time for all of us to unite and let our collective voices be heard over the din of allegations; here is what you can do.

Heights Of Yellow Journalism – More Protests And Outcry Marks The Awakening Of The Masses



Outcry for justice and release of His Holiness AsaramJi Bapu is now reaching a fever pitch with new protesters and petitioners making their presence felt like never before. This springs from the transgression committed by media in not just raising derogatory questions against BapuJi but also causing pain and emotional upheaval among supporters of Kind AsaramJi Bapu. In response to the umpteen atrocities brought about by the media on BapuJi, people from all walk of lives have taken the responsibility of clearing The Saints name of all baseless blemishes on his good name.

Sant Shri Asaramji Bapu
 
The trend of raising a strong voice for justice begun with supporters initializing a mass protest on Twitter in December, 2013 and then again in January, 2104. Both had one goal in common and that was a sense of urgency in the demand for justice. Just when it felt like nobody cared about justice or truth in this nation, these protests on Twitter came along and changed a lot of things. For starters this was a wake-up call for the bastion who thought they could take everybody for a ride with their biased representation of the saint, secondly this reignited the lamp of hope in every supporter's heart that was blown out by false accusations, and lastly it instilled the necessity for struggle among million of BapuJi disciples. Thanks to the path shown by a few, several more hitting social media websites everyday and one of those instances is the recent incidence that has emerged on Change.Org. With close to 8,000 people already aligning their views with that of their Twitter counterparts, the time has come that media houses completely shun their abject practice of yellow journalism for truth, equality and justice.

With the public showing such interest in the case of false representation of a saint, it’s high time that the necessary change be allowed to unfold.

End of Coloured perception marks beginning of new era for Indian media



We Indians have gotten so used to propaganda being spread in public that in many cases we just take things for granted and move on with our lives. Without anyone or anything to confront these views of the media, the trend became so humdrum that some media outlets misused public trust by dishing out anything from twisted facts to blatant misinformation just to make their news saleable. This complete disregard for truth went as far as to obstruct the delivery of justice and forced the path of justice.

One of the many remarkable incidences of media insensitivity was seen in recent days. Ever since the arrest of AsaramJi Bapu not a single day has passed when the media did not present something derogatory about the Saint. There were incidences when we have seen news channels and news dailies publish utter rubbish on a daily basis. On many occasions media channels were rebuked for losing sight of their goal, but eventually the trend would be repeated all over again. Millions of ardent followers and disciples of the Bapu lodged reports with the administration and made their ire evident but nothing came of it until recently.


In December, 2013, for the first time media reported news of a wave of support on Twitter and then again in January when even a bigger wave erupted that forced all media channels to stand up and take notice. More than 4 different media houses took notice of this phenomenon and reported how irked BapuJi disciples were with the injustice meted out to him. This marked a new beginning for Indian media and has lighted a lamp of hope for millions of supporters who had lost their trust in media.

3 Reasons why Asaramji Bapu must be released ASAP



Injustice gets done to the innocent and what has happened this time was beyond the wildest dreams of people of this nation. Not only was an innocent Saint jailed, he was vilified to an extent that left the nation in a state of shock. A section of the media made a lot of money riding on this wave of infamy and ridicule at the expense of innocent families. In the case of the unfortunate Gurgaon family, three media channels did not even stop short of disgracing a minor girl in order to make the news item appealing. And at the core of all these heinous crimes is a false excuse that is nothing but a sham for the media houses to hide their ulterior motives of making more money by serving unfair, biased and false information. All these will stop the moment BapuJi comes out of jail. Here are 5 more reasons why AsaramJi Bapu must be released from jail ASAP.

1. Restore faith in saints: The dastardly attack made on the purity of Hindu saints and ashrams around the nation has left many shocked and worried. People who know the truth understand that there is a conspiracy at play which must be avoided at all costs, but times are difficult for those who were new to the fold and those who were contemplating on joining the fold. Without faith the world will soon become a rudderless ship and therefore for the greater good of the society, our kind AsaramJi Bapu must be released.

2. Without saints the society will fall apart: Saints are an integral part of the society. Just as wheel run around on a spoke, the society requires Holymen and Saints for smooth operations. Without them socities will come to a grinding halt and there will be nothing to help. Our rich history is full of anecdotes that sing praises of saints who sacrificed their lives in order to restore peace and order in the society around them. You will have witnessed several instances when violence has raised its ugly head and caused untold misery and anxiety until the intervention of Saints. Without their Spiritual leaders, people easily get misled by the distractions of the world which is why it is necessary that Sant Shree AsaramJi Bapu is released at the earliest.


3. For the welfare of women and children: Perhaps no one thought about the welfare of women and children than Pujya Shree, 800 schools run under the auspices of BapuJi and scores of Ashrams in every part of the nation look after the need of women who are rejected by their families for one reason or the other. Without BapuJi by their side these women and children will be left without a roof over their heads and an empty stomach. It is therefore necessary to release Pujya Shree AsaramJi Bapu for the sake of the poor and socially underprivileged.

Finally, Its Time That Justice Prevailed


Social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook are mirrors to our society and what happens on these popular platforms are quite likely to be a good indication of what and how people perceive events around them. In recent times there has been many that has caught the imagination of the smartphone-generation, giving them enough reasons to voice their opinions.

In India, we have had too many things to worry about, but one of the most pressing of all issues was the ill treatment meted out to our beloved AsaramJi Bapu. What cannot be described as anything but a conspiracy, some women brought rape allegations on the saintly Holyman and spread hateful disinformation which eventually led to his arrest. In the last several months that he has been in jail, prosecution has failed to prove their case but on the outside, media personnels have literally launched dastardly attacks on everybody related to him including his wife, son and daughter.

The entire nation stood witness to that for quite long  but when they saw it was all a subversive tactic by political powers to use BapuJi against their political rivals. Gradually, but assuredly people began trusting in the innocence of the holy Saint and began supporting him whole heartedly.


In December last year, Twitter erupted with voices of the supporters who recognized the need to be vocal about their protests. Previously, similar protests had gone up in several parts of Gurgaon and Noida in order to lean on decision makers to work hastily in order to bring the curtain down on what was being done against one of the most pious and kind hearted man our nation has seen in ages. On January 6th, 2014, national newspapers reported similar movements regarding support for AsaramJi Bapu. It must be noted that the support seen in this second wave was much more potent than  the first wave and proved that more and more people are beginning to question the propriety of the case and leaning in favour of seeing kind AsaramJi Bapu free.
