1^st Mahasamadhi Anniversary

by Swami Ritavan Bharati

Invitation to 1st Mahasamadhi Anniversary: 14th July 2016

Dear Divine Soul,

Last year, our beloved Swami Veda left his body, departing from this material plane into "Eternal Silence". Swami Veda had lived in "Samadhi" while he was still in his physical form. When he left his body, he became free from its restraints and entered "Mahasamadhi". He indeed was a master of Love, kindness, compassion, light of wisdom and peace. He transcended all boundaries and touched the hearts of millions.

Now as he is no longer in the body, it is even more important that we join our spiritual entities together as disciples of the Tradition to continue on the path that he has shown us.

As a mother feels pleased at the sight of the clean face of her infant, so the Guru-Lineage is pleased at the sight of purified, meditative minds, and grants them the favour of love.

Please join us on this occasion of first Mahasamadhi (Thursday, 14th July, 2016) of our beloved Swamiji to offer Japa and Meditation to his memory. You are welcome to join as 'Yajmana’ of 5 days Guru Gayatri Yajna (from 10 to 14 July 2016).

I look forward to your joining in the AHYMSIN family for this sacred celebration and heartily welcome you and your family, along with friends & relatives, to attend this celebration at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama, Rishikesh, India.

Let us all carry Swami Veda's divine love and blessings in our heart. May the wave of grace elevate you, uplift you, guide you and purify you.

With love and grace of the tradition,

Swami Ritavan Bharati

Hindi Version

प्रियवर कल्याण मित्र / माताजी,

ॐ नमो नारायणाय।

हमारे गुरुदेव के अत्यन्त प्रिय शिष्य व हमारे प्रिय स्वामीजी (ब्रह्मलीन स्वामी वेद भारती जी) दिनांक 14 जुलाई2015 को अन्तर्धान हो गये, किन्तु वे हम सब के हृदय और प्राण में स्मृति और ज्योति के रूप में विराजमान हैं। पूज्य स्वामी जी की स्मृति स्वरूप उनकी प्रथम पुण्य तिथि दिनांक 14 जुलाई 2016 को आध्यात्म दिवस के रूप में मनाने का विचार है।

हम उन्हें करुणामयी मातृशक्ति एवं सचल हिमालय के रूप में देखते हैं। यदि हम उनके दिखाये आत्म-पथ पर चलते रहें तो वे हमसे कहीं दूर नहीं हैं- ऐसा हमारा विश्वास है।

जैसे एक माँ अपने प्यारे शिशु का चेहरा साफ-सुथरा, धुला हुआ देखकर प्रसन्न होती है वैसे ही हमारी गुरु-परम्परा हमारे मन को जप-ध्यान के जल से धुला, निखरा, सुथरा होता देखकर आनन्द मनाती है और फिर हमें ढेर सा प्यार एवं कृपा-प्रसाद देती है।

आइये इस प्रथम पुण्य तिथि पर हम भी स्वामी जी महाराज तथा गुरु-परम्परा को अपने जप-ध्यान की पुष्पांजलि अर्पित करें।

इस पुण्य अवसर पर पाँच दिवसीय “गुरु गायत्री” यज्ञ का आयोजन होगा। यज्ञ में यजमान रूप में आपकी उपस्थिति प्रार्थनीय है।

श्री गुरुदेव सेवायाम्
