==================================================

Idhar aankhen khulen meri teraa deedaar ho jaaye
Tere saaghar ko leke har koyi sarshaar ho jaaye
WHEN MY EYES OPEN MAY THEY LOOK UPON THEE,
THY CUP OF NECTAR MAKES EVERYONE FULL OF BLISS
Ye hasti khaab ke aalam men dikhti aa rahi hai jo,
Tere noore muhabbat se ye dil bedaar ho jaaye
THIS SIGHT WHICH WE WERE SEEING ONLY IN OUR DREAMS,
MAY THE LIGHT OF THY LOVE AWAKEN OUR HEARTS TO IT
Mere gulshan men phir ab vo bahaare jaan fizaa aaye
saraapaa guncha o gul ho va gulshan khaar ho jaaye
MAY MY GARDEN BE FILLED WITH THE LIFE GIVING JOY OF SPRING,
MAY THE BUDS AND FLOWERS AND THORNS TURN INTO A GARDEN NOW
Jahaane ranjo gham men ye meraa Saaki bane hamdam
Jo girtaa hai vo utth jaye visaale yaar ho jaaye
IN THIS WORLD OF SORROW BE THOU MY COMPANION TRUE,
MAY THOU LIFT THE FALLEN, MAY ALL FIND UNION IN THEE
Jo bebas hai vo bekas hai vo phir hai ashkbaar itna
Tabassum uske lab pe ho vo jalva baar ho jaaye
THEY WHO ARE HELPLESS AND FULL OF TEARS AND SORROWS,
MAY SMILES COME TO THEIR FACES AND LIGHT UP THEIR HEARTS
Jo uski yaad kartaa hai usse vo paa hee letaa hai
Vo usmen maihav ho jaaye saraapaa yaar ho jaaye
HE, WHO CALLS OUT TO THEE, FINDS THEE BY HIS SIDE, OF A CERTAINTY,
HE WHO HAS LOST HIMSELF IN THEE HAS SURELY TURNED INTO THEE, THYSELF
Teri kishtee men baithon ko fanaah ka khauf kab hogaa
Jo ussmen Nath baithha hai yakeenan paar ho jaaye
THOSE WHO SIT IN THY BOAT HAVE NO FEAR OF DEATH,
O NATH, THEY WHO SIT IN IT, SHALL GO ACROSS OF A CERTAINTY

"VEIL THYSELF NOT ANY MORE THAN THOU HAST DONE"

SAW THE GLORY OF GOD.
==================================================
THE LYRICS HAVE BEEN PUT INTO MUSIC --A GHAZAL- BY HIS SON, PRIYA NATH MEHTA, WHO SANG IT ON 13-8-85, AND WHICH IS THE RECORDING BEING PLAYED HERE.
=================================================

In this Urdu Song, HH Shri Bhola Nathji has written the yearning of a real lover of God who wishes to see God remove the Veil from His Face, and reveal Himself in His fullness.
A lover who is disenchanted with the world around him, as well as the Veil which God has placed over his Face.
Yes, God is very much there in the world, but because of the Veil He has placed upon Himself, there is so much of apparent sorrow and misery. Were He to remove the Veil there would be nothing but peace and happiness everywhere.
The yearning is a true prayer from the heart of a Lover of God, a real devotee, who has understood the mysteries of the world around him, and who knows that reaching God must be the goal of his existence upon earth.
Ab iss se aur zyaadaa pardaa na keeejiye
Ham jaan ba-lab hain saare, aisa na keejiye
VEIL THYSELF NOT ANY MORE THAN THOU HAST DONE,
OUR LAST BREATH IS ON OUR LIPS, NEVER DO THIS AGAIN,
Vo kaun hai ke jiss men itni ye taab hai
Iss maifile jahaan men rukhe zebaa na keejiye
WHO IS THERE IN THE WORLD WHO HAS THE COURAGE,
TO LOOK UPON THE RADIANCE OF THY FACE IN THIS WORLD
Khaake kadam milegi kismat nayi bane
pausheeda parda haa men ye paa na keejiye
THE DUST OF THY FOOTPRINTS WILL AWAKEN OUR DESTINY ANEW
STEP NOT AWAY INTO HIDING BEHIND THY HIDDEN VEIL
Jo sar jhuke hain saamne kitne hain kushnaseeb
Phir kaun ab kahega jalwaa na keejiye
THE HEADS WHICH ARE BOWED BEFORE THEE ARE SO FULL OF LUCK,
WHO SHALL SAY TO THEE TO KEEP BACK THY LIGHT DIVINE
Aansoo gire hain aankh se bechain dil meraa
Ab aur der kar ke dariyaa na keejiye
TEARDROPS FALL FROM MY EYES AND MY HEART IS RESTLESS,
LET THEM NOT TURN INTO A RIVER BY THY DELAY
Maidaane dil ke andar ye shaih savaar daurre
Ab unko rokne ka iraadaa na keejiye
IN THE FIELD OF THIS HEART THEY COME A-RIDING TOWARDS THEE,
PLEASE STOP THEM NOT FROM REACHING THEE
Ye bewafaa hai aalam khaabo khyaal hai,
Ab Nath iss se vaadaye eefaa na keejiye
THIS WORLD IS FULL OF BETRAYALS, A DREAM A TALE,
O NATH, LET US NOT BECOME ENTANGLED IN THIS ILLUSION AGAIN.

HANDSOMEST BEING IN THE WORLD

THE HANDSOMEST BEING IN THE WORLD
==============================================


HH Shri Bhola Nathji (1902-1992) was truly described as the handsomest
and most beautiful being in the world,whose beauty was not worldly, but
Divine.

In all ages he was
beautiful. He was beautiful as a child, beautiful as a young man,
beautiful in middle age and beautiful in old age, as no man ever was.
Even at the age of 90 he looked like a man in his 30's.

He was untouched by time.


His face had an unbelievable Divine Glow on it all the time, which
became very intense when a genuine seeker after truth came to him. Or
when those in sorrow and suffering came to him

Merely to look
upon his Beautiful Countenance was to be filled with an unfathomable
bliss and to forget the worries of the world. For the viewer it became
an instant meditation without an effort.

His perfect aquiline
features, the absolute symmetry of his face, the perfection of his nose,
eyes and lips, from every angle, revealed that this was a beauty not
seen on the face of any mortal upon earth.

Indeed if HH Shri Bhola Nathji was God upon Earth then his Face was the greatest indication of his Divinity.

The love and compassion and humility seen in his eyes, and in his smile, made one forget the world.


His honeyed words took the listeners beyond space and time and his
irrefutable logic brought even the greatest of intellectuals and
scientists of his time to accept him as a being from some other world.


In the accompanying video His photos of various times and ages are
compared with the photos of some of the handsomest men of his time. One
can easily see the difference between his Divine Beauty and the worldly
beauty of the people around him.

Worldly people generally have a
tendency to consider Film Actors as being the handsomest men of their
time. I have given here the handsomest Bollywood stars and Hollywood
stars alongside HH Shri Bhola Nathji, and the viewers can see the
difference for themselves.

While age brought decay to the faces
of these worldly men, age made HH Shri Nathji even more beautiful. When
people would be wrinkled and shriveled up with old age, here was HH Shri
Bhola Nathji as young and as beautiful as ever even at the age of 90
with the same Divine Glow upon his Face.

People who had see him
even once in their lives, vowed that they never forgot Him. And while
leaving the world they found that same benign loving Face waiting to
take them to another world.

HH SHRI BHOLA NATHJI DANCING IN THE GALAXIES

HH SHRI BHOLA NATHJI DANCING IN THE GALAXIES
========================================================

HH Shri Bhola Nathji (1902-1992) was a Great Spiritual Luminary of His
time, who gave peace and beatitude to countless folk during his
lifetime, and in whom people saw the Glory of the Light of God. He
called Himself. in all humility, "The Servant of the Earth."
==================================================

Here is a very rare video taken at a time when HH Shri Bhola Nathji was
dancing to the words of his Urdu Poem, Ghazal, carried away by a Divine
Inspiration which He was experiencing at the time.

Dressed in
the regalia of a costume brought by a devotee, here He is in a State of
Unfathomable Divine Bliss to the words of His poem which were beyond the
concept of any earthly poet!

"IN THIS UNIVERSE OF LIGHT,
I STAND SHOULDER TO SHOULDER WITH THE GALAXIES"

"I AM UNITED WITH EVERY HEART AND YET SEPARATE FROM EVERYONE!
I KNOW THE MYSTERIES OF EVERY PARTICLE OF THE UNIVERSE"

"I AM THE OCEAN ITSELF,
AND YET I AM LIKE THE DROP OF WATER INSIDE IT."

Here He is experiencing a Unity with His own Self in the rest of the Universe...


The Ghazal was sung and recorded by me at the time, and I was the only
audience present, who shot the video, while my recording was playing in
the background.

HH Shri Bhola Nathji was Truth personified and
whatever He said or did was out of the Bliss that He was experiencing
within himself and which revealed who He really was. He needed no
witnesses for his revelation or crowds to impress or audiences to
applaud. Even a one man audience like myself was enough.

He would often say:

"WHEN THE LIGHT IS OFF, I AM MAN,
AND WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON, I AM GOD!"

IT IS YOU IN WHOM THIS WONDROUS MUSIC LIES
==================================================
From the Thoughts of HH Shri Bhola Nathji (1902-1992) a Great Spiritual Luminary of His time who gave peace and beatitude to
countless folk, relieving them of their ills and sorrows, and in whom people saw the Light of God. He called himself in all humility, the Servant of the Earth.
==================================================
The notes of music lie asleep within the strings of a sitar.
The strings, that stretch from one end of the board to the other, have within them a sweet, sonorous melody that lies unawakened.

The strings are silent, and they wait in the hope of hearing the song that will once again set them vibrating with joy. They look to someone else for music, though they have within them what they seek!
Their yearning, expressed in their silence, bursts forth into an intense desire that beckons a musician.
He comes.
He lifts the sitar, picks up the ‘mizraab’, to pluck the strings with, and, then, placing his fingers on the strings, sets the air ringing with the strings of a beautiful, haunting refrain.
The strings feel again the joy of their souls but do not know from whence the melody comes.
The musician lifts up his fingers. The song is at an end. The notes die out in the emptiness of air and the musician’s voice is heard.
“It is you in whom this wondrous music lies. Someone was needed to bring to an end your silence, and to bring out from within you that music which lay concealed; and to recreate it before you, even as the wind reveals to the ocean its own form as the waves, and the reflection of a mirror reveals to the viewer his own face.”

WHERE GOD EXISTS TIME DOES NOT EXIST

"WHERE GOD EXISTS TIME DOES NOT EXIST"
PORTRAIT OF HH SHRI BHOLA NATHJI AT THE AGE OF 90
================================================
This was a profound statement of HH Shri Bhola Nathji (1902-1992) which he made often and very seriously. He was a great spiritual luminary of his time who gave peace and beatitude to countless folk during his lifetime, relieving them of their ills and sorrows, and in whom people saw the Light of God.
=================================================

It was a well known fact that when people sat before HH Shri Bhola Nathji, or HH Shri Nathji as he was lovingly called by them, time simply seemed to fly past.
Five hours would pass by and the listeners would be unconscious of the passage of time and would appear to awaken from another world in which there was nothing but absolute God Consciousness and Bliss, and the listeners were not even aware of their own existence. It appeared to them as if not a single moment of time had elapsed!
And Shri Nathji would say: "Where God exists, Time does not exist!"
Shri Nathji would add: "Each and every moment of time is blessed when it is spent in the remembrance of God!"
Every moment that people spent before him was a moment added to the years of their lives.
This was apparent to individuals who visited him and also to large audiences in halls.
When Shri Nathji spoke to large audiences at Rialto Cinema Hall in Mussoorie, the hours would pass by rapidly without people being aware of even a moment having elapsed.
A devotee of Shri Nathji, Shyam Lal Kasera, who was very worried about the impact these long hours of speaking might have on Shri Nathji's health, placed a wall clock at the opposite end of the hall so that Shri Nathji would look at the clock and stop speaking soon.
But a strange thing happened on that day -- the wall clock stopped instead!!
A Guru who had come with his disciples to seek Shri Nathji's benedictions had the same experience and said to his disciples:
"I have not brought you to an ordinary place.
Yahaan Kaal ko aane ki ijaazat naheen hai!
Time is not allowed to come here!"
Kaal, or time is another name for Death. It is time which is rapidly taking you towards death, each and every moment of life that slips by warns you that the end is drawing closer, and that the final moment of Time is what you call Death.
It was a miracle in itself that people who associated with HH Shri Nathji and spent large amounts of their time with him still found themselves as young as ever!!
HH Shri Bhola Nathji himself was a living example of one untouched by time. Even though he took upon his own gentle body the sorrows and sufferings of the world around him, yet his face retained the same look of divine youth and the same divine light which was its perennial sign.
The portrait shown with this post is that of HH Shri Bhola Nathji at the age of 90 !!

DIVINE PROPHECY DAY MAY 18, 1926

DIVINE PROPHECY DAY MAY 18, 1926
==================================================
My Grandfather, Shri Devi Das Mehta, (1867-1940), was born in Batala, Punjab in Northern India. At a very young age he gave away all his wealth and material possessions to the poor out of genuine love and sympathy for them. He showed the world what a wonderful thing wealth could become if it could be used to help others, and that it could become a means to salvation itself.
Very soon multitudes thronged to him, for it appeared to them as if a very great prophet or saint had been born in their midst. His words and mere presence, brought instant faith in God into people, relieving them of their ills and sorrows and bringing them peace of mind. He took no credit for this and preferred to live a life of anonymity.Soon he came to be known as HH Shri Babaji Maharaj.
He was a married man. And when in 1902 a child was born to him, the son appeared to be a very beautiful and Special Being,as radiant as the Sun, in whom people began to see the Light of God, even as an infant. He was named Bhola Nathji. And this recognition became stronger as he grew into a divinely beautiful young man, whose divine glory and divine beauty surpassed anything the world had seen before. He had a sign in his right eye as if he was marked to be a very Special Being.
On the 18th of May 1926, in Tehsilpura District Amritsar,in Punjab, when Shri Babaji Maharaj was sitting alone in his room, he heard a voice call out to him from the heavens which proclaimed that his son, Bhola Nathji, who would call himself, in all humility: Ghulam Rue Zameen, meaning the Servant of the Earth was in reality God personified, who was in fact Shahenshah Rue Zameen, The Emperor of the World. The sign in his right eye was the sign of the Avatar,
His mere personality and the Glory of God that emanated from him spoke more than words could describe, and when people came before him they felt the presence of God, The prophecy of Shri Babaji Maharaj was exemplified in the mere personality of HH Shri Bhola Nathji.
Shri Bhola Nathji would say in all humility:
"I am like a mirror, in which you are seeing the reflection of your own face!
If you see God within me it is a reflection of the God within your own hearts."
"I have no mission except Love in this world,
My mission is Love and my work is Love."
"God is Love!"
" I have not come as your Master, bur rather as your Servant!"
"I have not come to be worshiped. Rather I have come to worship you!"
"I am a very old companion of yours. I was your companion even before the Universe came into existence."
Although miracles followed him wherever he went, he would attach no importance to them and simply say:
"Speak not to me of miracles,
For I have left miracles behind."
=============================================
Special Sayings of HH Shri Babaji Maharaj:
"I am content with what God has given me as my share,
And commit to my Creator my every care,
To do good in the past has been indeed His Will,
He will do good as well in what is to come still!"
"There is no condition higher than that silence which comes of the abandonment of all latent desires!"
"He who has not given up the ways of vice,
He whose mind is not at rest,
He who cannot control himself,
Can never realize God,
Though full of learning of the world."
"There is no state in the world higher than mine,
There is no state in the world that is lower then mine,
And there is no state in the world that is like mine."
"If thou has gained the whole world but lost faith in God than thou has lost everything, but if thou has lost everything and gained faith in God than thou has gained everything."

NATH HAS COME AGAIN INTO THIS WORLD

NATH HAS COME AGAIN INTO THIS WORLD
=================================================
These Lyrics in Urdu and the music are dedicated to
HH Shri Bhola Nathji (1902-1992) who was a Great Spiritual Luminary of his time who gave peace and beatitude to countless folk who came to him, relieving them of their ills and sorrows. He called himself in all humility:

NATH, THE SERVANT OF THE EARTH.
Endowed with a personality which was altogether divine, a beauty and handsomeness that was unmatched, a divine light that emanated from his face all the time, eyes full of compassion and love, and honeyed words that soothed every heart and filled a person with spontaneous peace, he was one of the most unusual beings of his time, in whom people saw the Light of God.
He was of the mettle of which the great prophets enlightened souls and saviors and avatars were made, and who came into this world and lived only for the sake of mankind.
=================================================
THE GHAZAL (SONG) IN HOMAGE TO HIM
Ye Nath phir se aayaa iss maifile jahaan men
Har ik se poochtaa hai vo gham teraa kahaan hai
THIS NATH HAS COME AGAIN INTO THE GATHERING OF THE WORLD
HE ASKS EVERYONE WHAT HAS BECOME OF THEIR SORROWS NOW
Jaadoo fidaa ye soorat har dil ko khenchtee hai
Goyaa ye rooye khush hee ik jalvaye jahaan hai
A FACE FULL OF MAGIC, WHICH ATTRACTS THE HEARTS OF ALL,
A BEAUTIFUL COUNTENANCE, LIKE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD
Aavaaz kyaa hai niklee iss shakle meherbaan ki
Har dil banaa hai shaidaa goyaa sakoon ki jaan hai
WORDS SO WONDROUS FROM THIS FIGURE OF COMPASSION,
EVERY HEART HAS BECOME HIS LOVER, THE LIFE OF PEACE ITSELF
Lazzat millee hai kaisee iss deede dil kushaa se
Batlaaye kaun usko chup ho rahi zubaan hai
WITH A TOUCH OF BLISS, HIS EYES LIGHT UP THE HEART
WHO CAN DESCRIBE SUCH A JOY, THE TONGUE IS SILENT
Dil men liye muhabbat vo khud chalaa hai aayaa
Har ik ne usko chaahaa goyaa ye shaane jaan hai
WITH LOVE IN HIS HEART HE HAS COME HIMSELF,
EVERYONE HAS FALLEN IN LOVE WITH THIS LIFE OF GLORY ITSELF
Rukh pe jo hai tabassum taareekiyon men jalvaa
Aisaa samajh men aayaa khursheede do jahaan hai
THE SMILE ON HIS FACE LIKE A RADIANCE IN THE DARKNESS
IT APPEARS AS IF THE SUN OF THE TWO WORLDS HAS DAWNED
Soorat teri ke andar aisee kashish bhari hai
Ai Nath vaiham kaisaa paihlaa ghumaan kahaan hai
THERE IS SUCH A FORCE OF ATTRACTION IN THY FACE,
O NATH, HOW CAN THERE BE ANY DOUBTS AND DESPAIRS OF THE PAST NOW
================================================
This Song has been sung by Priya Nath Mehta,along with a compilation of some portraits of HH Shri Bhola Nathji in various different years.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO EVERYONE IN THE WORLD

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO EVERYONE IN THE WORLD.
In the Hindu Arti, worshipful homage to God, it has been written:
"Twamev Mata cha Pita twamev"

Meaning:
"Thou art my Mother and Thou art my Father"
Yes, truly the first revelation of God to man is in the form of his Mother and Father both. But more so, his Mother, who is the real one who feeds him and looks after him and keeps him sheltered and protected when he is a helpless child.
Later in life when the child has grown up he sees his mother and father also praying to God and giving him a religion to grow up with.
And in times of utter loneliness and despair, when man cries out for help, he finds that Someone is caring for him and protecting him like his parents used to do, and that, that Protector is God, the One who gave him his parents in the first place.
So when we salute and remember our mothers today let us also salute and remember God who gave them to us.

IF LIFE IS A JOURNEY THEN WHERE LIES THY HOME
===============================================
Here are the Lyrics of a Song written in Urdu, known as a Ghazal, by HH Shri Bhola Nathji (1902-1992) a Great Spiritual Luminary of His time, who gave peace and beatitude to countless folk during his life-time, relieving them of their
ills and sorrows, and brought home the Secrets of Life in a simple way.

Although not a song-writer, yet he wrote over 30,000 Urdu Poems when he was between the ages of 80-90. His handwriting was so unbelievably beautiful and steady that it was impossible to believe it was the writing of someone that age. Sometimes he would go on writing for over 20 hours, till the early hours of the morning. These were in fact divine revelations.
Here is a Ghazal he wrote on the 5th of November 1987, and which I put to music at that time. Although the recording has lost much of its clarity as it was preserved on audio tape, yet I believe that I have been able to capture some of the feelings which accompanied it.
The Ghazal begins with an "Aalaap" which is an improvisation over the notes of the song to come, and which sets the mood for the song to follow.
==================================================
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
If this world is a journey then thy home must lie somewhere,
In some World Unknown, yes, that is where thy home lies
If Thou has not attained God, then indeed what hast thou achieved in this world,
Everything else, other than Him, is nothing but a fall.
In the darkness of the night, there are many dreams of the world,
But when the eyes open, what kind of a world will they see?
Why is the time of life so fleeting and so short?
If only thou could understand this, then indeed thou would know the Real Secret of Life.
Look at the tremor and turmoil of the bubble in this world,
In one moment it rises high and in the next instant it bursts and is gone.
ORIGINAL URDU WORDS:
Safar hai zindagaani ye to ghar teraa kahaan hogaa
Jahaane ghaib ke andar vahaan teraa makaan hogaa
Na samjhaa gar usse too phir to samjhaa kyaa yahaan aakar
Har ik shai ghaire Ou jo hai vohi teraa ziyaan hogaa
Shabe tareek ke andar jahaane khaab aate hain
Magar iss chashme vaa ke saamne kaisaa jahaan hogaa
Ye vakte zindagaani ik tassalsul aur kam kyon hai
Isse gar too samajh paayaa to phir too raazdaan hogaa
Hubaabe baihar ki sarmastiyaan dekho zamaane men,
Idhar umraa huaa jo hai udhar phir vo nihaan hogaa
Nath
The Servant of the Earth

A DIVINE UNION DAY MAY 7, 1939
==============================
The year was 1939 and it was the 7th of May. The entire city of Lahore was agog with the news that HH Shri Bhola Nathji was getting married.
He was the most beautiful being ever seen by anyone in this world and was considered by many to be God Incarnate himself.
The Divine Love and Compassion that exuded from his personality brought tears into the eyes of even those who saw him for the first time in their lives. Multitudes had flocked to him and received peace and beatitude in a miraculous moment, their sorrows and sufferings disappearing in an instant. He called himself in all humility:
"THE SERVANT OF THE EARTH"
At first he had refused the idea of marriage but, then, bowing to the wishes of his Revered Father, HH Shri Babaji Maharaj, or Shri Devi Das Mehta, he had agreed.
The Lucky Lady was Savitri Devi, the daughter of the Legal Adviser of the Punjab National Bank in India, Lala Hargopal Khanna, who was a famed senior lawyer of the city, and indeed well-known in the country.
The Day was May 7th, and Shri Nathji's baraat, the procession of the bridegroom was on the way to the bride's home for the marriage ceremony. There was Shri Babaji Maharaj in a pink turban and many relatives and devotees, walking alongside.
Shri Nathji was astride the bridal mare, in his regalia, dressed as a bridegroom, looking so astonishingly and divinely handsome that many swooned at the sight of him.
Very soon the procession was joined by shopkeepers who simply came out of their shops and began walking alongside. There were many faqueers in their weird dresses and long hair, mahatmas of various degrees, holy men, the rich and the poor, who were intermingled with the crowd, which had swelled to about 5000 uninvited persons though initially it had begun with only 500 people.
As the procession wound its way along the roads of Lahore, an arrogant Britisher tried to force his way through the crowd by driving his car and angrily blowing on the horn of his car.
A few yards later, and the engine of his car was stalled and he stood by the wayside bewildered. He looked at Shri Nathji on the bridal mare and said: "I salute the being on the horse!"
At the Bride's place there was panic when they heard that about 5000 people were coming. They had made arrangement for only 500 people. Cooks had been called from Kashmir.
The father of the bride, Lala Hargopal Khanna, went to his daughter and said:
"Shri Babaji Maharaj had made only one condition with us -- that none of the persons of the baraat should be dissatisfied! Now how are we going to feed so many people?"
Savitri Devi, who had intense faith and devotion in HH Shri Nathji and believed him to be God, said to her father:
"O Dear Father! please dont be despondent! Go to the kitchen and place Shri Nathji's photograph there!"
He did that. And a great miracle occurred. The 5000 persons were fed with ease. The food had appeared to multiply miraculously.
The bridesmaids of Savitri Devi, were almost in a state of swoon, as they came to Savitri Devi and said:
"O Savitri! Your bridegroom is SO handsome!"
And so the marriage took place amidst the greatest joy and happiness ever experienced by the people there. It was truly a Divine Union of Divine Souls. A day the people of Lahore were never going to forget.
P.S.
(This was at a time when Lahore was in India. Pakistan had not yet come into existence.)

CAN YOU DECEIVE GOD?

CAN YOU DECEIVE GOD?
====================================================
From the thoughts of HH Shri Bhola Nathji (1902-1992) a Great Spiritual Luminary whose words bring peace and beatitude to many even now, revealing the Secrets of Life.
====================================================
If you believe in God then you must also believe in the words that define God.
He is Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Omniscience.
Omnipotent = He is All Powerful. He created this infinite Universe
Omnipresent = He is present everywhere. He is in everyone.
Omniscient = He is All Knowledgeable = He knows everything.
Therefore can you hide anything from such a Being, with your tiny heart and brain?
If a person is present in a room all alone, and he is tempted to do something wrong, he may do it-- because no one is watching.
But if he is in the room and a ten year old boy is watching him, he will be afraid to commit the wrong because the boy will be a witness to his act .
But tell me, when there is no one in the room - is God not there? Is He not a witness? Should His presence there not act as a deterrent against doing wrong?
Believing in God does not mean simply going to places of worship and bowing down to have your prayers answered.
Believing in God means feeling His presence with you all the time.
KNOW THAT HE IS WATCHING ALL YOUR ACTIONS.
AND NOT ONLY YOUR ACTIONS, HE ALSO KNOWS OF ALL YOUR THOUGHTS - EVEN THOSE THAT HAVE YET TO COME.
Can you hide anything from God? Don't you remember that He is watching all your thoughts and actions? That He is within you?
Can you tell lies to yourself? You are sitting in Delhi, can you tell yourself that you are sitting in Mumbai? No, You cannot tell lies to yourself.
Therefore, can you tell a lie before God? Don't you think He knows the Truth already?
Then how can you tell lies before God who is not only within your thoughts, mind and heart, but who is also the life of your life, the soul of your soul.
When you do any act in Secret, know that God knows you are hiding things from him. And the chances are that whatever you hide from Him is bound to go wrong and rebound upon you. Success will turn into failure. Happiness will turn into sorrow.
God is too great to come running after each and every person to punish him for his wrong actions. So He has created the Law of Karma, which records his actions and then punishes the person at the right time, either in this world or the next.
Doing things in secret from God, thinking that He does not know, lying before Him -- all show that you do not have REAL FAITH IN GOD, and that all your faith and devotion and prayers are mere lip utterances for your own benefit.
THEN DO NOT BE SURPRISED WHY GOD IS NOT ANSWERING YOUR PRAYERS WHEN YOU ARE IN SORROW AND SUFFERING.
Faith is like a wire that connects you to God and the Light of God comes through the wire. But if the connection is faulty there will be no Light, there will be no Grace of God showering down upon you. Remember it is a reciprocal relationship.
But He is there for your benefit, and you are there for your own benefit.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH YOUR LIFE?

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH YOUR LIFE?
==================================================
From the Thoughts of HH Shri Bhola Nathji (1902-1992) a Great Spiritual Luminary of His time, whose words still bring peace and solace and consolation to humanity revealing the Secrets of Life.
==================================================
This life is one of the most precious gifts given to you by God. It will not come again, so each and every moment of life is very precious.
Those who believe this life is the only one, and after this life comes either Heaven or Hell, have all the reason to be more cautious.
Those who believe in re-incarnation must remember that they will never again be what they are today in this life. So think of this life as the only one in which you have this identity, a unique identity of your own which will never return. Who knows what you might be in the next life to come?
So think of this life as the one and only life you will ever have.
And think of everything in this life as a gift from God--your parents, your body, your family, your mind and intellect, your education, the free time you possess etc.
Out of these, time is the most precious and most fleeting. The past is gone, the future has not come and you have only this moment of the present with yourself-- a moment which passes no sooner than it comes.
Even before you finish saying: "This is the present!" it has become the past.
"O Man! Thou hast come into this world like a flash of lightning,
Beware lest transient life deceive thee!"
What do the religions of the world say? Religion is a science of its own, based on the experiences of its founders, people who have experimented with, and understood, truths of life which they place before humanity. It is as real as Science itself.
Hinduism says: "Athhaa to Brahm Jigyaasaa!"
"Evolve a Desire for God!"
Christianity says: "But seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you!"
Islam says: "Justajoo kun justajoo kun justajoo!"
"Seek Him! Seek Him and Seek Him!"
The Materialists say: "Eat, Drink and be Merry, for tomorrow you die!" Selfishness lies at the core of materialism by itself, without God.
Eat, drink and be merry is alright-- but for how long? The same legs, seen dancing in dance halls, become so feeble that they cannot even walk one day. All the faculties of your body decay, your eyes, ears, and brain decay, as you are gradually and relentlessly driven towards death.
If you have been given this precious gift of life and not found God then everything else is secondary, and may even be meaningless.
Finding God also means finding Love, Peace and Righteousness, making this world a better place to live in, for yourself as well as for others, helping as many as you can with your love and compassion, keeping God within your heart all the time so that you can never go wrong.
When you go to the next world, the first question you will be asked before admission will be: "What did you do with your life?"
Your worldly status, wealth, relatives etc., etc.,and indeed whatever else you owned in life including your worldly knowledge and certificates, will be of no use to you if you have not found God-- the purpose for which you were given all the precious moments of life.
This life is like a College. Either you pass out with flying colors or else fail.....and it is all in your hands, in that one precious moment of life you call the "present".

NO MATTER WHAT PATH A MAN MAY CHOOSE TO COME TO ME, I GO TO MEET HIM ALONG THAT VERY PATH

"NO MATTER WHAT PATH A MAN MAY CHOOSE TO COME TO ME, I GO TO MEET HIM ALONG THAT VERY PATH"
“Ye yathaa maam prapadyante taanstathaiv bhajaamyaham
Maam vartmaanuvartante manushya paartha sarvashah"

--Lord Krishna in the Sacred Geeta
===================================================
HH Shri Bhola Nathji would frequently quote the above words of Lord Krishna from the Holy and Sacred Book, The Bhagwad Geeta of Hinduism.
===================================================
Although Lord Krishna, God Incarnate, was born thousands of years ago, at a time when there was no multiplicity of Faiths as there is now, yet He was far ahead of his times, and predicting the face of things to come in the future, where Multiple Faiths would exist in various parts of the world.
The Supreme Courts of Most civilized countries in the world have expressed their views: that every person in the world has the right to worship God in his own way.
All Faiths believe in Love, Goodness and Righteousness, and Faith in a Supreme Power.
Think of a circle with a circumference. Think of the various points on the circumference. All these points will lead to the center of the circle!
The various points on the circumference are like the various Faiths of the world, and the Center to which they are all pointing is God.
There are people who worship God in the form of incarnations of God or Avatars.
There are many who worship God in an Invisible Form only.
There are some people who worship their own Guru as God because it is the Guru who has brought them to God.
There are many people who worship their own parents as God because it was they who brought them into the world and cared for them and protected them when they were little helpless children.
There are many who worship images and icons and beautifully carved marble idols, moortis, of God and His Avatars upon earth.
There are many who worship God in both forms, male and female.
=================================================
HH SHRI BHOLA NATHJI WROTE ABOUT THE VOICE OF GOD SPEAKING TO MANKIND:
"FOR THOSE WHO WORSHIP GOD IN AN INVISIBLE FORM, I REMAIN INVISIBLE.
"FOR THOSE WHO WORSHIP GOD IN A VISIBLE FORM, I BECOME VISIBLE.
"BUT IN MYSELF, I AM NEITHER VISIBLE NOR INVISIBLE, OR I AM BOTH!
"SOMETIMES I HIDE MYSELF AND SOMETIMES I REVEAL MYSELF,
BUT IN MY OWN SELF I AM NEITHER HIDDEN NOR REVEALED!"
================================================
"EVEN AS EVER NIGHT MUST GIVE PLACE TO DAY AND EVERY AUTUMN TURN TO SPRING, SO IT IS THE VOICE OF MY HEART THAT THE TIME IS DRAWING CLOSE WHEN ONE GOD SHALL EXIST FOR ALL, AND ALL SHALL BE HIS CHILDREN, LOVE SHALL BE HIS WORSHIP AND THE HEARTS OF MEN SHALL KNOW A NEVER ENDING PEACE."

THY FACE UNMATCHED

Arun Kumar Sharma

" When God manifests in human form He looks like Nathji.
I am one of those few persons to have his Darshan in Delhi, thanks to Alok Sharma."
=================================================
"TERI SOORAT SE MILTEE NAHEEN KISSEE KI SOORAT,
HAM JAHAAN MEN TERI TASVEER LIYE PHIRTE HAIN"
THERE IS NO FACE IN THE WORLD THAT CAN MATCH THINE,
WE WANDER IN THIS WORLD CARRYING THY PORTRAIT WITH US!"
==================================================
When People would come before HH Shri Bhola Nathji (1902-1992)
and say : " You look just like God!"
He would say with a smile:
"Perhaps it is a reflection of your own face which you are seeing in me!"

THE WORLD OUTSIDE, AND GOD INSIDE

THE WORLD OUTSIDE, AND GOD INSIDE
==================================================
Thoughts of HH Shri Bhola Nathji (1902-1992) a Great Spiritual Luminary of His time whose words still inspire humanity today bringing them the Secrets of a Real Spiritual Life.
==================================================

Many people are confused about the relationship that man must have with the world and God.
Meditation in God or Worship of God, or Prayers to God, last but for a short time, and for the rest of your life the world is before you to live in and to do your work in.
Many people turn to God only when in trouble. For the rest of their lives they are absorbed in the world.
HH Shri Bhola Nathji simplified uniting the world and God in this single verse he wrote in Urdu:
"Deedaye zaahir men mere ye jahaan bastaa rahe,
Deedaye baatin men lekin kuch sivaa tere na ho!"
"Let the world remain before my eyes to see,
But within me let there be none else but Thee!"
This means that God remains within your heart all the time, eating, sleeping, living your life, doing your work, in fact doing anything in the world that you want to do. It is a constant absorption in God while living in the world. A constant meditation in God without an effort.
Then you can never do anything that is wrong, because God is within your heart all the time, all success is yours, because God guides your thoughts and actions, sorrow and suffering do not shake you because He is with you, and, most of all, contentment is yours, and with it, love, peace and happiness.

SON BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE

SON BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE
===================================================
From the memoirs of HH Shri Bhola Nathji (1902-1992) a Great Spiritual Luminary of His time.
===================================================

It was Lucknow and the time was in the 1930's. Those were the days when few people in India had cars and even the elite and fashionable preferred to ride on motorcycles.
There was a famed socialite of Lucknow, Raja Jagat, a young and dashing prince, who would ride around on his fancy motorcycle and even take long rides on it to the outskirts of the city.
One evening he went out on a ride and did not return. The crashed motor cycle and his body were found by the roadside in the early hours of the morning.
He was rushed to King George's Medical College, which was the best in the city. Doctors gave up all hope when they saw the body. It was already cold. They tried everything they could to revive him, but had no hope.
Word got around that Raja Jagat was in the hospital and had died, and soon there was a crowd of friends and relatives gathered there. The Mother wept very loudly on seeing the body of her son.
Amongst the friends was Mr. R.R. Khanna who was the Registrar of the Lucknow University.
HH Shri Bhola Nathji was staying as a guest in his home for a few days. RR Khanna had great faith and devotion in HH Shri Nathji and looked upon him as God.
He met the weeping mother of the young man and said to her:
"Mataji! I know a place where your son can get new life again!"
And very shortly RR Khanna had brought the mother to HH Shri Nathji .
The Mother, who was known as the Rajmata, Queen-mother, fell down at HH Shri Nathji's feet and began to weep, while Khanna narrated what had happened.
Shri Nathji sat in silence while the mother wept her heart out.
And then suddenly HH Shri Nathji said to her:
"Mataji! Do you feel a peace flooding your heart?"
"Yes!" said the surprised mother, "yes!"
And Shri Nathji said: "What mother would feel at peace if her son was dead?"
"Go! Your son is alive!" Shri Nathji added.
The mother and Khanna rushed to the hospital and found the doctors congratulating each other on reviving a body that was already cold when brought to the hospital!!
It was one of the many miracles of HH Shri Bhola Nathji, to which he attached no importance nor allowed any publicity to be given to them. He would often say:
"Speak not to me of miracles,
For I have left miracles behind!"

COLLEGE GIRLS IN DISTRESS

COLLEGE GIRLS IN DISTRESS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the memoirs of HH Shri Bhola Nathji (1902-1992) a Great Spiritual Luminary of His Time.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SHRI NATHJI HAD OFTEN SAID:

"WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS, TRY ME. I SHALL COME,FASTER THAN THE WIND, FASTER THAN THE FLASH OF LIGHTNING!"
The year was 1961 and the place was Allahabad, a city of Northern India.
HH Shri Nathji was living in Darbhanga Castle Colony, near Alfred Park, close to the vicinity of Allahabad University. The Alfred Park had been built by the British and had a quaint old British Library that made one feel as if one was in England.
In Allahabad there was a Sikh family, known as the Chopra family, who had intense faith and devotion in HH Shri Nathji.
All the daughters of the Chopra family were absolutely devoted to HH Shri Nathji, and started their morning prayers with his name before going to school or college.
There came a time when three of the Chopra girls were passing through Alfred Park in the evening. The sun was about to set and darkness was already overshadowing the heavily wooded park.
All of a sudden the girls saw a group of boys come sauntering through the park, laughing and joking, and possibly drunk.
They spotted the girls and began to hoot and sing, and walked towards them with ill intentions.
The girls were terrified. It was dark and there was no one in the park.
The girls who had only one remedy for every trouble in life, prayed to HH Shri Nathji.
"Nathji! Save us!"
And sure enough there was HH Shri Nathji walking before them along with a group of his devotees!
As if he had appeared mysteriously in the dark! He was out on an evening walk and just "happened" to be there.
Upon setting eyes on HH Shri Nathji and the group of devotees with him, the College Boys were terrified, in turn, and simply vanished from the scene.
The Chopra sisters ran forward and touched Shri Nathji's feet saying: "Nathji! You saved us!"
HH Shri Nathji, as was his wont, pretended surprise and asked them what had happened.!
Later he said to them: "It was the power of your Faith that made me come at this hour in the evening!"

WHY ARE YOU TROUBLED?

"WHY ARE YOU TROUBLED? DO YOU NOT BELONG TO GOD? AND IS HE NOT YOURS?
THIS THOUGHT WILL CLEANSE YOUR MIND IN EVERY TROUBLE!"
---PUTTING HH SHRI BHOLA NATHJI'S WORDS INTO PRACTICE. TRY THESE WORDS IN AN EMERGENCY.
==================================================

Although proverbs and extracts of great spiritual Masters sound good to listen to, it is only when you have had an occasion to put them into practice that you really understand their full purport.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mr. S. L. Malhotra had just returned from New Delhi after being blessed by HH Shri Bhola Nathji in 1972. He was on his way to Amritsar by train.
He had been accustomed to reciting the above words of HH Shri Nathji since years, and especially when he was in trouble. As a matter of fact he would not step out of the house until he had recited these lines:
"Why are you troubled? Do you not belong to God and is He not yours? This thought will cleanse your mind in every trouble!"
In Urdu:
"Kyaa too Khudaa ka naheen, kyaa vo teraa naheen?
Ye Yaad tujhe har museebat se paak kar degi."
When he boarded the train at New Delhi and it sped away with great speed towards Amritsar he found himself being pushed out of the compartment by a huge crowd of passengers who were grabbing hold of every inch of space inside.
The situation became so bad that he soon found himself hanging outside the door of the compartment, holding on to the bars at the door, his feet almost hanging outside the speeding train.
Suddenly he saw a train coming from the opposite direction. The distance between the tracks of the two trains appeared very small.
Malhotra, being somewhat rotund in size, was sure he would be hit by the passing train and crushed under its wheels.
AND THEN HE BEGAN TO HEAR THE VOICE OF HH SHRI BHOLA NATHJI SPEAK TO HIM AS IF FROM THE SKIES:
"WHY ARE YOU TROUBLED? DO YOU NOT BELONG TO GOD AND IS HE NOT YOURS? THIS THOUGHT WILL CLEANSE YOUR MIND IN EVERY TROUBLE!"
AS THE ONCOMING TRAIN CAME CLOSER AND CLOSER HIS HEART BEGAN POUNDING WITH FEAR. HE SAW DEATH STARING HIM IN THE FACE.
AND JUST WHEN THE "CRASH" WAS ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE SOMEONE PULLED HIM IN A POWERFUL JERK INSIDE THE COMPARTMENT AND HE WAS SAVED!
ALL HIS LIFE, HE WAS SURE IT WAS HH SHRI NATHJI WHO HAD APPEARED IN AN INVISIBLE WAY, TO SAVE HIM WHEN ALL SEEMED LOST.

THE GREATEST ACTOR IN THE WHOLE WORLD
==========================================================
Can one imagine the All Powerful God, living in the midst of humanity in human form, taking upon himself all the frailties of the human body, subjecting himself to the storms of life, and living in the world like any ordinary person, being buffeted by the storms of the world?
And not using his Almighty Powers for Himself, but only to help others. Suffering Himself while relieving the world of its ills and sorrows. Giving Peace and Happiness and ineffable divine bliss to humanity.
Passing through the sufferings of life with the greatest of peace and joy Himself.Coming in human form in the gentlest, humblest, most sublime and divinely beautiful human body imaginable, which would make people stop and look at him again and again, as a being from another world.
His Face Glowing with an unearthly Divine Glow which clearly showed to the people of the world that He was a Divine Being.
Indeed such is the play or drama or Leela, of the Divine Being when He comes down upon earth and enacts the role of a human being to perfection. He is known as an Avatar or an Incarnation of God upon earth--. but only those to whom He chooses to reveal Himself.
He may grant recognition of Himself to the whole world or may be recognized by only a few persons or maybe by no one at all. It makes no difference to Him whether he is hailed as a messiah or an avatar or simply a great prophet or a holy personality, He enacts the part He has come to play with perfection. All his actions are only to give salvation to humanity.
Yes, HH Shri Bhola Nathji (1902-1992) came down upon the earth with this mission of Love and hid himself behind the cloak of the title:
"The Servant of The Earth."
In the worldly sphere of life, He so blessed the Cinema that it became the means of consoling thousands of people in the world, making them forget their worries and cares for awhile, bringing to the poor a little joy in the midst of their poverty, bringing home to people lilting melodies and songs that touched the hearts of millions, bringing to fore tales of love, heroism and sacrifice, bringing to their hearts tears of sorrow for the miseries of others, tears that washed away their own sorrows and made them better persons. The poets and lyricists and singers and musicians of the films had a unique touch of their own which pierced the human heart, like no other emotion would.Truly they were divinely inspired, which is why they touched the hearts of millions.
Whenever HH Shri Nathji would take his family with him to the Cinema Hall, the manager of the Hall would come himself with a torch and give HH Shri Nathji the best possible seat available, and also touch His Feet with reverence.
At the time of the Interval when the lights came on, the people sitting in the Cinema Hall would spot HH Shri Nathji and turn and bow towards Him, so great was the regard of the people for the Holiness of HH Shri Nathji. It made no difference if they found him sitting in the midst of humanity watching a Film with his family.
Although Shri Nathji was considered to be the handsomest man in the whole world, with a divine beauty and divine light that no one could match, yet he often humorously referred to his own resemblance with the famous Indian Actor, of the time-- Ashoke Kumar! As you can see in this video clip of the film Mahal.
The lyricists of the time little realized that they were describing the relationship of man with God in most of their songs of the time.
In the Hindi Film, Mahal,l there was the song which could relate to the waiting of man for God, although in the film it was a beloved pining for her lover to appear:
Aayegaa, aayegaa, aane vaala aayegaa, aayegaa
He will come, he will come,
He will come of a certainty!
Koyi naheen chalaataa, par teer chal rahe hain
There is no one pulling the bow,
Yet the arrows are piercing the heart
These indeed were the arrows of Divine Love that pierced the human heart.

BLESSING THE FILM "AWAARA"

MEMORIES OF MY FATHER, HH SHRI BHOLA NATHJI (1902-1992) A GREAT SPIRITUAL LUMINARY OF HIS TIME
====================================================
BLESSING THE FILM "AWAARA" -- "THE VAGRANT"-- TO BECOME THE GREATEST HIT FILM OF INDIA IN 1951.
====================================================

HH Shri Bhola Nathji whose enthralling words and divine personality
captured the hearts of people, that included intellectuals as well as
the common folk, men, women and children, bringing them instant peace of
mind,-- was also one of the most innocent beings of his time!


When he was in Bombay in 1951 and his children wanted a home movie
projector, he searched all over the city but could not find it anywhere.


Finally he came to a huge building that spoke of "Cinema" and
he entered within with his family to ask whether they sold home movie
projectors!!

The director of the office there was pleasantly surprised and said to HH Shri Nathji:


"Sorry, Sir! You have come to the wrong place! This is not a shop. This
is the Film Censor Board, where we preview the latest films that are
produced and we censor them!"

The Divinely Beautiful personality
of HH Shri Bhola Nathji so gripped his heart that he stood there
hypnotized, and listened to the divine words of Shri Nathji. Very soon
he had invited him to sit inside his office where HH Shri Bhola Nathji
poured forth more divine nectar into him.

At the end of this meeting he said to Shri Nathji:


"We would like to show you the small cinema hall where we preview and
censor the films. Normally we do not allow the public inside but you are
very special. Please feel free to sit in the hall and watch us screen a
shot from a new Hindi Film that has been made in Bombay. Its name is
AWAARA!"

And shortly HH Shri Bhola Nathji was sitting inside the
small theater and watching the film -- as if he were one of the censor
board members about to preview the film!!!

The scene of the film
that was being shown depicted the hero, Raj Kapoor, in hell, whereas his
beloved, Nargis, was in heaven. The hero was being burnt in a double
fire - that of the horrors of hell and the fire of separation from his
beloved.

Then he was shown being brought up into heaven by the
prayers and devotion and love of his beloved. He had barely had the
feeling of happiness and love--- when he was ultimately cast back into
the fires of hell!!

It was a tragic lesson for man to learn. He
spends his life in actions that displease God and he ends up in hell.
For a short while he may be granted reprieve from hell for some goodness
and love within him, but then he falls back into the fires of hell.

HH Shri Nathji sat through the film sequence and enjoyed it. He also blessed the film.


IT WAS NO SMALL COINCIDENCE THAT THE FILM AWAARA WAS ONE OF THE
GREATEST HINDI FILM MOVIES TO HIT THE MOVIE THEATERS OF THE WORLD. NO
HINDI FILM OF THAT TIME HAD EVER ACQUIRED SO MUCH ACCLAIM.

I
FIRMLY BELIEVE IT WAS BECAUSE HH SHRI NATHJI HAD BLESSED THE FILM AND
HAD BEEN ONE OF THE FIRST AMONGST THE PUBLIC TO HAVE SEEN IT!!

I GIVE BELOW THE FILM SEQUENCE AND SONG THAT HH SHRI NATHJI SAW AND BLESSED!

Letter from the archives of my father

I am sharing this letter from the archives of my father, HH Shri Bhola Nathji (1902-1992) who was the founder of the World Prayer Day, to unite mankind in prayers for peace.

He called himself, in all humility, Nath, the servant of the earth. He served humanity till the ripe old age of 90, alleviating the sorrows and sufferings of people, and trying to bring people of all faiths, nationalities, and races together in a message of Love. His appeal for the world prayer day was the most universal ever made, "Pray wherever you are in whatever way you like, for peace upon earth."
I give below the text of his handwritten letter, which I am posting here.
"It is good to live in the world properously. But it is best to realise God while living in the world. The motto should be to live in the world after realising God - The Beginningless and Endless, All Powerful, Kind and All Pervasive Glory.
The world belongs to Him. He has sent us all here to stay for a short while and then to go back to Him with thousands of feelings of gratitude for all His KIndnesses.
He exists. Without Him nothing can exist. If you are with Him everything here and hereafter is with you.
This is my short message to all the people of this world.

SERVANT OF THE EARTH

Shri Nathji would often say in the Persian Language:

Yaa Rabb az maadire geti ba che taalaye daadam"
"NO ASTROLOGY, NO ASTROLOGER, NO SCIENCE, CAN DECIPHER THE STAR, UNDER WHICH GOD BROUGHT ME INTO THIS WORLD."

======================================================

BEFORE TAKING LEAVE FROM THE PLANET EARTH

BEFORE TAKING LEAVE FROM THE PLANET EARTH
==================================================
My Father, HH Shri Bhola Nathji(1902-1992) a Great Spiritual Luminary of His time, knew that the time had come for him to leave the planet earth several days before he left.
And he would say from time to time:

"PEOPLE FROM OTHER WORLDS HAVE COME TO ME AND PRAYED TO ME TO COME TO THEM, AS I HAVE ALREADY DONE ENOUGH FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE EARTH, AND WAS NEEDED IN OTHER WORLDS."
"i SHALL GO ON DOING MY WORK FOR AS LONG AS I AM HERE, AND WHEN I GO, I SHALL CONTINUE DOING MY WORK WHEREVER I GO ..".
"I HAVE NO MISSION EXCEPT LOVE IN THIS WORLD,
MY MISSION IS LOVE AND MY WORK IS LOVE."
WHEN HE LEFT THE PLANET EARTH HE CONTINUED HIS WORK OF SPREADING LOVE AND PEACE IN THE UNIVERSE, AS WELL AS UPON THE EARTH IN INVISIBLE FORM WHERE HE IS STILL AMONGST US ALL.
====================================================

GOD IN THE UNIVERSE

GOD IN THE UNIVERSE

It has now been established that the Universe is infinite, without any boundaries. In the words of the famous Astronomer and Scientist of Cornell University, USA, the late Prof. Carl Sagan: the Universe has billions and billions of stars, and billions and billions of galaxies of stars and billions and billions of clusters of galaxies. In fact the words "billions and billions" became so associated with Prof Carl Sagan that he instantly comes to mind when we use these words.

He also postulated that the Universe contains "billions and billions" of planets that would harbor life, maybe similar to that of our earth or maybe different, maybe more advanced or maybe subhuman.

Astrophysicists and Astronomers are daily discovering planets in the Universe where life is possible. It may take them several lifetimes to be able to fully count them.

Thus it is clear that life exists in this Infinite Universe.

Did such a Universe come into existence all by itself?

Can an ordinary wooden table create itself?

No, a table requires a carpenter.

And the Universe requires a Creator-- and He is God, the God of the Universe.

All the religions speak of a Creator creating the Universe:

There are about ten major religions on the planet earth and each of them speak of God or a Creator, who comes down upon the earth and establishes righteousness whenever and wherever it is necessary. There are Temples, Churches, Mosques, Synagogues, Gurudwaras etc., where God is worshiped by various names.

We have come to believe in the earth and its earthly incarnations of God as being the only Reality in the Universe.

But imagine "billions and billions" of planets in the Universe, each with religions of its own, and we would have "billions and billions" of religions all over the Universe, with God being worshiped in some form or the other, in each of them.

It is logical to assume that if God cares for the earth, he must also care for the rest of the Universe, compared to which the earth is barely a speck of dust.

Therefore God must be coming down to each of the planets of His Creation in the Universe and there must be billions and billions of incarnations of God in the Universe.

My Father, HH Shri Bhola Nathji (1902-1992) a Great Spiritual Luminary of his time, knew all this a long time ago, even before the discoveries of Science, when he said:

"IT IS THE VOICE OF MY HEART THAT THE DAY IS DRAWING CLOSE WHEN ONE GOD SHALL EXIST FOR ALL, AND ALL SHALL BE HIS CHILDREN, LOVE SHALL BE HIS WORSHIP, AND THE UNIVERSE HIS TEMPLE, AND THE WORLD SHALL KNOW A NEVER-ENDING PEACE."

THE LORD UPON EARTH

THE LORD UPON EARTH
=============================================
Is it possible for us to imagine God walking in the midst of humanity, like a tourist passing through his Creation?

If He could come down upon earth in the past then He could surely do so in the present as well.
If the Sun has arisen in the sky yesterday, then surely it will rise again today.
He may come down once in thousands of years or he may come down once every century, He may come down every day if He so chooses.
He may be born in any country of the world and have any race or nationality He chooses. He may even be born elsewhere in other galaxies of the Universe. He may even be born simultaneously in many parts of the Universe if He so wills.
He is Master of His Will and there is no one who can dictate to Him.
He may come down upon earth and be recognized by very few, or else He may come down and be recognized by the whole world, or else He may come down and be recognized by no one.
He may come down and be recognized as a Great Master, a Great Prophet, a Messiah, a Great Avatar, or as simply a beautiful, kind and compassionate human being.
Some may even think of Him as an extra-terrestrial Being.
It makes no difference to Him what people think of Him, because everyone belongs to Him in any case, no matter where he is in the world. It makes no difference whether one person comes to Him or multitudes throng to Him. It makes no difference even if no one comes to him.
He purifies those who come into contact with him even without their knowing it, He takes away their sorrows and sufferings through his glance of Mercy. In fact His very presence upon earth purifies the earth itself and fills it with peace.
He remains in human form in a limited space and area, and yet He is connected to the whole world in an Invisible Form.
He is like the air in an empty glass which is the same as the air which is spread everywhere in the atmosphere of the world.
The question arises, if we met God walking alone in the streets of the world how would we recognize Him?
The answer: You can only recognize Him when He reveals Himself to you.
If you have a pure heart, and a genuine craving within you for God, then surely you will recognize Him.
Otherwise you will simply think of Him as someone very unique, filled with an unearthly glow, a divine being with a divine beauty hitherto never seen before.
Imagine an Artist who has created a beautiful painting, and the people are standing before it and admiring it, while the Artist Himself stands in the midst of the public watching his own painting!
This is how God comes down to earth to mingle with His Creation.
And when He feels His work on earth is over, He leaves the earth silently, just as silently as He had come, and returns to the Divine Abode where He resides in His Eternal, Immortal, Form.
