Ideal Guru H.H. Bhaktaraj Maharaj, who remained in a detached state despite being in the material world !

On the auspicious occasion of H.H. Bhaktaraj Maharaj’s 101st Birth Anniversary

The 101^st Birth Anniversary of Sanatan’s source of Inspiration H.H. Bhaktaraj Maharaj (fondly called H.H. Baba by His devotees) is on 7^th July. In the present phase of Kaliyug, H.H. Baba was a pillar of strength for His devotees. He saved many devotees from the difficult phases in their life. He would claim, ‘I am no ordinary Guru. I do not tell which Path to follow; rather I make you follow the Path myself’.

H.H. Baba moulded devotees of various types. He would impart knowledge to His devotees through words as well as those that transcend words (meaning, knowledge based on spiritual experiences). However, while teaching through the medium of words, many a times, one would not understand His teachings; because, the mind would either become thoughtless in His presence or one would enter a meditative state. Besides teaching Spirituality, H.H. Baba would get spiritual practice and chanting performed from His devotees.

H.H. Baba is the epitome of one who led the life of a renunciant while being in the material world. His renunciant state made Him a Supreme Saint who is perpetually in a Shivabrahman state (State of communion with God). He may not be among us today; however, His devotees have had the spiritual experience that whenever we call out to Baba from the depth of our hearts, He rushes to help us. This shows that He is still very much with us in the nirgun (Non-materialised) state. Whatever be the gratitude we express unto the Holy feet of such a Guru, it will not suffice. We pay bhav-enriched obeisance at the Holy feet of H.H. Baba !

Everyone believes that H.H. Baba is not just a Supreme Saint; He is an Incarnation. His devotees will be able to obtain Chaitanya (Divine consciousness) from H.H. Baba, who sowed the seeds of devotion during the extreme adverse times, who is like a light-house to make us reach the gates of Moksha (The Final Liberation), through His bhav-enriched remembrance and teachings.

On the conclusion of the 101^st Birth Anniversary, we pray unto the Holy feet of H.H. Baba – ‘May You always occupy the throne in the hearts of devotees !’
