THE REAL CONCEPT OF BELOVED PAPA

“Beloved Papa’s presence is not only confined to the Bhajan Hall and Homa Mandir (Samadhi Mandir), is not only all-pervasive in this holy Anandashram, but it lives and moves in and through us. We carry His presence when we adhere to truthfulness. We carry His presence when we are kind, considerate and compassionate. We carry His presence when we refuse to swerve even one inch from the path of purity. We carry His presence vibrantly, dynamically, forcefully when we live our life in a divine manner with determination, humble intention, firm resolve and all sincerity and earnestness.

When we are trying to pursue a Divine way of living, in thought, word and action, we are manifesting Beloved Papa. We are vibrant centres of that which the world knows as Beloved Papa Swami Ramdas. We become lamps through which His light shines; we become vessels to hold the living waters of His spirituality, His sublime spiritual teachings.

Let us not therefore confine Beloved Papa Swami Ramdas to the Bhajan Hall, Homa Mandir and Anandashram, but make ourselves vehicles of His living presence so that by our lives others also become awakened and illumined — they feel His Divine presence through our lives, and their lives are also divinised. We will move amongst this world of men as the candle imparting our light to anyone whom God brings us in contact with.”

“Omnipresent Papa’s Ashram means the whole universe. It is to enable us to learn this, that this Ashram was established by Beloved Papa.”
