Best Celebration of One’s Birthday. {84.}

****
Radhasoami!

March 9th is the sacred & auspicious Birthday
of Gracious Huzur “Prem” Saran Satsangi Saheb Ji;
and it’s naturally celebrated by Satsangis all over.

If you have not ever so far
celebrated your birthday in Dayalbagh,
try to do so,
by going for Arz {or supplication}with eatables,
and receiving Prashad {Sanctified offering}
from Most Revered Maalik Personally.

This can be the best possible
celebration of anyone’s birthday.

It is simultaneously
expressing gratitude for one’s birth
and rededication one’s entire life
to service of our
Most Glorious Mission
of universal salvation.

We must all always remain
deeply thankful to Maalik
for providing us with
such blessed, recurring opportunities,
at the expense of His Own Comfort.

It is extremely fortunate to become
the recipient of Grace
upon one’s very birthday
for the rest of one's life.

Radhasoami!

Attending Sacred Bhandaras Immensely Beneficial. {70.}

****
Radhasoami!

Satsangis are scattered the world over.

The Radhasoami religion revolves around
the Revered Leader.

True, the Guru Bachan
that had prophesied
that we would be able to have
the Sant Satguru’s Darshan
even though distant
has been fulfilled
at least in part.

However, pilgrimage to Dayalbagh,
especially upon sacred Bhandaras,
Gracious Huzur’s “Sakshath Darshan”,
or beholding of Real Countenance,
the fortune of Dhan ki Seva as Bhent,
{monetary service as a contribution}
paying homage at the Pavan Smrityalaya,
the Prashad of Sale,
and Arz {or supplication}at His Lotus Feet,
all have the potential of conferring
incalculable spiritual benefit upon devotees,
if performed sincerely and rightly.

Let us not doubt that
God exists in right faith,
and Radhasoami Dayal Is always Fully Aware
of everyone’s karmas and sanskaras
{deeds and tendencies}.

Finally, Grace will consummate matters
better than we might hope.

Radhasoami!

Lover, Meet Lord for Consummation. {57.}

****
Radhasoami!

“Premi miliyo re Satguru se /
Deven kaaj Banay.”

That is,
“Lover, meet the Master,
He’ll Resolve your tasks.”

These Paath or hymn lines
inspired me no end
throughout my youth.

In the process, the Indian Railways
earned a regular dividend
from my Gurubhakti or devotion,
because I would regularly
make Teeraths or pilgrimages to Dayalbagh.

“Teerath Guru ke Charan /
Tere bhale ki Kahun.”

That is,
“Pilgrimage to the Master’s Lotus Feet,
I say for your welfare.”

One can meet the Guru
by way of fortunate Arz or supplication.

One may also write one’s prayers
on a piece of paper
and keep it under one’s pillow
at night while sleeping,
for one’s Arz or prayer
to effectively reach the Guru,
as per Maalik’s Own Repeated Gurubachan.

As per another Gurubachan,
“Anthar mein sahara dhoondho.”

That is,
“Seek support internally within yourself.”

One may also perform Satsang,
Seva and Abhyaas with dedication,
to access the Lord
and evoke His Grace.

So, there are umpteen ways
for genuine seekers and lovers
to meet their beloved Lord.

Satsangis are never bereft of
means to access their Guru,
partake of His benevolent Guidance,
and benefit from His Grace.

Let us be adequately grateful:

“Dhanya dhanya sakhi bhaag humare /
Dhanya Guru ka Sang ri.”

That is,
“Our fortunes are truly blessed, friends,
We are blessed with the Master’s Togetherness.”

Radhasoami!
