Param Pujya Tapsamrat Gurudev Shree Ratilalji Maharaj Saheb 28th Punya Smruti Avsar

Today, remembering Param Pujya Tapsamrat Gurudev Shree Ratilalji Maharaj Saheb on 28th Punya Smruti Avsar,

 

Param Pujya Namramuni M S , shared about the life of visionary Tapsamrat Gurudev and the lessons we should learn from his life.

1. મૌન
2. સંકલ્પ
3. સહનશિલ્તા

મૌન & સંકલ્પ

Tapsamrat Gurudev was a great practitioner of મૌન. 

The less you speak, the more valuable your words become. 

Purity of Speech gives rise to the Power of Speech

Param Pujya Namramuni M S, motivated everyone to take a મૌન of 15 minutes daily from 12:00 to 12:15. મૌન can solve biggest of the problems. A household in which members practice મૌન for sometime, will never have any quarrels.

સહનશિલ્તા & સંકલ્પ

Tapsamrat Gurudev extending other leg to a dog when being bitten and Gurudev not uttering anything thing when the doctor forgot giving anesthesia before injecting signifies how “tolerant” and “compassionate” gurudev was. 

Param Pujya Namramuni M S, shared how “tolerance” can be developed in daily life.

A simple way is to not take medicines for small things here and there. One can setup limits as per their capacity. For example -  not to take medicine for light fever of 100 degrees etc.

Some quotes from the vyakhyan..

मुझे मेरे गुरु का बन ना है

मुझे मेरे गुरु जैसा बन ना है

મારો સમય મારા ગુરુ માટે હોવો જોઈએ.

મારો આખો ભવ મારા ગુરુ માતે હોવો જોયે

પણ, મારા ગુરુ નો એક પણ ક્ષ્ણ મારા માટે ના હોવો જોયે

Usually શિષ્ય becomes a ગુરુ for others in the future. So,

તમે ગુરુ બન વા વાલા શિષ્યા છો.. કે શિષ્ય જ રેવા વાલા શિષ્યા છો ?

गुरु के गुण ही हमें गुरु बनाते हैं

जिसका संकल्प टूटता है, उसको कभी सिद्धि नहीं मिलती है

जिसका संकल्प अटल रहता है, उसको सिद्धि मिलती है

It is Gurudev’s “Sanyam” that has given birth to our “Sanyam” 

In Life, don’t just think and think..But just do it

जो सोचता है, वो सोच ते ही रह जाता है

जो करता है, वो करके दिखता है

Param Pujya Namra Muni M S , also announced 4 projects:

1. Kids Mantra Mahotsav

Motivating kids to practice matra sadhana in their daily lives

2. Meri Nanhi

Location - Paramdham Tapsamrat Gaushala 

In this project, donors can choose to “Adopt a calf” for one year. The calf will be taken care of during that time frame from the donation. The donor can choose to give a “Name” to the calf, come in anytime to play with them and also get to check on them from video calls

The idea is to develop the feelings of Jeev Daya in the younger generation as they will first hand get to experience the life of cows

3. Ambulance - Operation Theatre in a Bus

Many times due to the lack of infrastructure and logistics people in rural areas are not able to access emergency services. To solve this, Arham group will be launching these Hi Tech ambulances which will have modern machines just like an OT, so that poor and needy could be helped with the highest standards “wherever” and “whenever” needed. Estimated cost of 1 Ambulance - Bus is Rs. 1.5 Cr , 8 such buses are planned to go live soon

4. Kindness Kit

To foster Jeev Daya in the wider society Arham Group launches the Kindness Kit. The kit will contain - Biscuits for Dogs, Kidiaru for Ants, Laddoos for Cows and Chan for Pigeons. One it will cost Rs. 300.

The idea is to gist this kit to people in the society - friends, family, employees, etc. and ask them to use it for “Jeev Daya” , this will plant the seeds of Jeev Daya  (संस्कार) in them , which will compound over time
