Sometimes fighting against his blood related relatives sometimes corrupt political officials! Sometimes against the recession! Sometimes natural disaster sometimes manmade disasters! In all this only the common man is crushed!

Then may this war be against global warming or may it be against terrorism.

In Pratyaksha’s Editorial, readers are guided on how to face this crisis with confidence and what is our role in this War-time.

Mi Aniruddha Ahe !!

स्वतःच्याच पन्नासाव्या वाढदिवसानिमित्त प्रकाशित होणाऱ्या दैनिकाच्या विशेष आवृत्तीतील अग्रलेख आणि तोही स्वतःवरच लिहिणारा, बहुधा मी एकमेव कार्यकारी संपादक असावा. माझी माई माझ्या लहानपणापासून नेहमी म्हणायची, " हा नं काय करील त्याचा कधी पत्ता लागत नाही, " तर माझी आई मला 'चक्रमादित्य चमत्कार' म्हणायची. बहुतेककरून माझ्या बालपणीच्या ह्या चक्रमपणाचाच विकास कायम होत राहिला आहे. प्रत्येकाला शालेय शिक्षणानंतर अगदी कुठलाही पाढा आठवला नाही तरी 'मी एके मी ते मी दाहे मी' हा पाढा सहजतेने येत असतो. कारण हा 'मी' दाही दिशांना मनाच्या घोड्यावर बसून पाहिजे तेव्हा पाहिजे तसा उधळू शकतो. मी असा आहे आणि मी तसा आहे, मी काही असा नाही आही मी काही तसा नाही, मला हे हवे आणि मला ते नको, मी हे केले आणि मी ते केले, अशा अनेक रुपांनी हा प्रत्येकाचा 'मी' जीवनभर धिंगाणा घालत राहतो आणि हा अनिरुद्ध तर लहान मुलांच्या 'धांगडधिंगा' शिबिराचा खंदा समर्थक. मग ह्या अनिरुद्धाचा 'मी' स्वस्थ थोडाच बसणार?

मी असा आहे आणि मी तसा आहे - मी कसा आहे हे फक्त मलाच माहीत आहे. पण मी कसा नाही हे मात्र मला अजिबात माहीत नाही. मी कसा आहे? ते माझ्या त्या त्या स्थितीतील अस्तित्व असणाऱया त्या मानवावर अवलंबून नाही, त्या त्या परिस्थितीवरदेखिल अवलंबून नाही. बाजूचा माणूस आणि परिस्थिती कशाही प्रकारची असो, मी मात्र तसाच असतो कारण मी सदैव वर्तमानकाळातच वावरतो आणि वास्तवाचे भान कधी सुटू देत नाही. भूतकाळाची जाणीव व स्मृति वर्तमानकाळातील अधिकाधिक सभानतेपुरतीच आणि भविष्यकाळाचा वेध वर्तमानकाळात सावध होण्यापुरताच, ही माझी वृत्ती.

मी चांगला आहे की वाईट आहे - हे ठरविण्याचा अधिकार मी प्रच्छन्न मनाने सर्व जगाला देऊन टाकलेला आहे कारण मुख्य म्हणजे इतर कोण मला काय म्हणतात ह्याची मला जराही पडलेली नसते. फक्त माझा दत्तगुरु आणि माझी गायत्रीमाता ह्यांना आवडेल असे आपण असावे हेच माझ्या जीवनाचे एकमेव ध्येय आहे आणि त्यांच्याच वात्सल्यामुळे मी त्यांना पाहिजे तसाच घडत राहिलो आहे.

मी काही असा नाही मी काही तसा नाही - मी कसा नाही, कुठे नाही आणि कधी नाही हे मात्र मला खरच माहीत नाही पण मी कशात नाही हे मात्र मला नीट माहीत आहे व हाच माझ्या प्रत्येक वाटचालीतील प्रकाश आहे.

मला हे हवे आणि मला ते नको - मला भक्तकारण हवे आणि राजकारण नको, मला सेवा करावयास हवी पण कुठलेही पद नको, मला मित्रांच्या प्रेमाचे सिंहासन हवे पण सत्ता नको, मला अहिंसा हवी पण दुबळेपणा नको, मला सर्वसमर्थता हवी पण शोषण नको, बल हवे पण हिंसा नको, मला परमेश्वराच्या प्रत्येक भक्ताचे दास्यत्व मी स्वीकारणे हवेहवेसे तर दांभिक ढोंगबाजी व खुळचट श्रद्धांचे (?) नायकत्व नको.

अनेकांना मी कुणालाही भेटायला जात नाही म्हणुन माझा राग येतो. परंतु मला कुणाकडूनही काही द्यायचेही नाही. मग कुणालाही भेटण्याचा प्रश्न येतोच कुठे ? मी भेटतो फक्त माझ्या मित्रांना कारण 'आप्तसबंध' म्हणजेच देण्याघेण्याशिवायची आपुलकी हे एकमेव मला भेटीसाठी कारण असते, म्हणून मला निर्व्याज आपुलकीची भेटगाठ हवी, पण देण्याघेण्याची किंवा विचारमंथनांची भेटगाठ नको असते. मला ज्ञान नको म्हणजे ज्ञानाचे पोकळ शब्द व देखावे नकोत पण मला परिश्रमपूर्वक ज्ञानाचा रचनात्मक कार्यासाठी होणारा निःस्वार्थ विनियोग हवा असतो.

मी हे केले आणि मी ते केले - 'मी काहीच करत नाही, ना-मी सर्वकाही करत असतो' ही माझी अंतिम श्रद्धा आहे. मग हा माझा 'मी' स्वस्थ बसून निष्क्रिय आहे काय? ते तर मुळीच नाही. या अनिरुद्धाचा 'मी' त्या 'ना-मी' च्या प्रत्येक श्रद्धावानाच्या जीवनप्रवाहाला पहात राहतो आणि त्या प्रवाहाची गती थांबणार नाही व पात्र कोरडे होणार नाही, ह्याची काळजी घेण्यासाठी त्या 'ना-मी' चा स्त्रोत त्याच्याच प्रेमाने श्रद्धावानाच्या जीवननदीच्या कुठल्याही डोहाला फोडून सतत प्रवाहित राहण्यासाठी ओतत राहतो. मला सांगा, ह्यात माझे काय?

सत्य, प्रेम व आनंद ह्या तीन मूलाधार गुणांचा मी निःसीम चाहता आहे व म्हणूनच असत्य, द्वेष आणि दुःख ह्यांचा विरोध हा माझा नैसर्गिक गुणधर्म आहे; ह्याचाच अर्थ, हे कार्यदेखील आपोआपच घडत असते. कारण जो स्व-भाव आहे तो आपोआपच कार्य करीत राहतो, त्यासाठी काही मुद्दामहून करावे लागत नाही.

प्रभुरामचंद्रांचा मर्यादायोग, भगवान श्रीकृष्णांचा निष्काम कर्मयोग आणि श्रीसाईनाथांचा मर्यादाधिष्टित भक्तियोग हे माझे आदर्श आहेत. मी स्थितप्रज्ञ नाही, मी प्रेमप्रज्ञ आहे. माझी बांधीलकी 'वास्तवाशी' म्हणजेच स्थूल सत्याशी नसून, ज्याच्यात पावित्र्य उत्पन्न होते अशा मूलभूत सत्याशी आहे.

मला काय करायचे आहे? मी काय करणार आहे? मी अग्रलेख का लिहितो आहे? तिसऱया महायुद्धाविषयी एवढे मी का लिहितो आहे? मी प्रवचन का करतो आहे? ह्याचे उत्तर माझी ह्रदयक्रिया कशी चालते व मी श्वास कसा घेतो ह्यांइतकेच सोपे आहे, खरे म्हणजे तेच उत्तर आहे.

माझ्या मित्रांनो, पवित्रता व प्रेम ह्या दोन नाण्यांना मी विकला जातो, बाकी कुठलेही चलन मला विकत घेऊ शकणार नाही. खरं म्हणजे, ह्या अनिरुद्धाचा 'मी' फक्त तुमचा आहे, तो माझा कधीच नव्हता आणि कधीही नसेल.

MANDHARDEV SEVA 2009

About Mandherdevi Temple :



Kalubai Mandhar Temple is located at Mandradev in Satara District in Maharashtra and is dedicated to Kaleshwari Devi. On the full moon day in Paush month (January – February), a major festival takes place here and is attended by thousands of devotees. Kaleshwari Devi is an incarnation of Goddess Shakti and is a hugely popular deity in this region of Maharashtra. In 2009, Kalubai Mandhar Temple Paush Purnima Festival is on January 10 and 11th.

Kalubai Mandhar Temple is located atop a mountain – 1200 m high.

On Paush Purnima more than 200,000 people gather at the temple. Devotees offer green colored saree to Kaleshwari Devi on the day.

Kalubai Mandhar Temple is about 18 km from Wai and 120 km south of Mumbai.

Mandhardev is one of the challenging AADM sevas starting on 9th Jan and will extend till 12th Jan 2009. DMVs across state are participating in this seva. From Mumbai as usual 100 DMVs are participating where as from Pune around 60, Nashik region 50 and Konkan region 50 DMVs are participating.

Organizing committee member Arvindsinh Natu along with Steering Committee members Harinakshasinh Shetty and Kishorsinh Narvekar are coordinating seva this year.

Why are we Here…?

The most tragic fact about the stampede at the Mandhardevi temple at Wai in Maharashtra's Satara district on January 25 was that it was at once avoidable and inevitable. For the three-lakh devotees nothing mattered - not the steepness of the climb to the temple, the narrow entrance, or the small size of the temple compound. They were many more than the usual number for the doubly auspicious full moon day because it was a Tuesday, a rare combination. By the time the police officer in charge realised, close to noon and the auspicious hour, that the sea of humanity was swelling fast and asked for more policemen it was too late. Thirty men arrived but the situation had gone out of control.

In the space of a couple of hours an estimated 300 people died and property worth lakhs was burnt. Instead of a line of enthusiastic devotees winding their way up the hill, all that was visible was a giant head of fire. Rescue teams that arrived from Pune, 200 km away, could see the fire from miles afar but it took them four hours to negotiate the 12-km ghat road to reach the site atop a 1,200-metre-high hill. There they were faced with treacherously slippery steps, burning stalls, mangled bodies and the prospect of an occasional gas cylinder bursting.

Doctors at the rural and mission hospitals in Wai said that judging by the expression on the faces of most of the dead persons, death seemed to have been instantaneous. It was an important indicator for the investigators as it showed the rapidity with which things happened.

From the death toll to the possible cause, came under dispute. The authorities say 251 people died - 157 women, 88 men, five boys and a girl - while the local people say the toll is much higher and that the bereaved took away bodies to avoid paperwork with the authorities.

Disaster in front of an EYE WITNESS :à Eyewitness accounts of the tragedy vary. The most plausible sequence of events suggests that some devotees slipped on a mix of water from broken coconuts and blood from sacrificed goats, and that triggered panic and a stampede. Packed beyond capacity in a compound, people struggled to find a way out and surged towards the two openings of the compound, one of which had been earmarked for entry and the other for exit. The 30 or so policemen on duty inside were powerless to do anything.

Haribhau Shinde, was witness to the Kalubai temple stampede in which over 300 people are being feared crushed to death.

He had set up his prasad stall as usual on the slope that leads to the temple on the top of a hillock. But around 1 pm, there was a commotion. He looked up to see there was chaos on the slope that led out of the temple, barricaded with bamboo poles on two sides. In 10 minutes, it was over. Then we only saw dead bodies. There were so many. I frantically searched for my brother and sister-in-law. My brother was lying unconscious. We brought him to the hospital.

After the stampede, some people lost their cool and set shops on fire, he added. Most of the shops on the temple ground and the approach road were burnt and razed. Slow smoke rises from them even 36 hours later.

Though the bodies that piled up at the entrance to the temple have been cleared the official toll is 258 a torn sari, a blood-smeared pair of trousers or an odd chappal lie about. The festival has come to a grinding halt. Most of the victims in the stampede local people have strong faith in devi s power to grant wishes were people like Haribhau and Prakash, poor people from Satara and nearby areas like Pune and Konkan, who came every year for the devi darshan as part of the Mandhardevi yatra that culminates in a 10-day festival at the temple.

After the incident, there are indications that the district police will press many more men into duty next year. But how can a few policemen prevent a flood of human bodies asked an official

This is the reason We Were Here

AADM Project Vermiculture

Vermiculture

Dr. Aniruddha Dhairyadhar Joshi lovingly called by His followers Shree Aniruddha Bapu is M.D.,a medical professional who has by His sheer pure love for His followers whom He refers to as His dear friends,changed their way of life inculcating in them the values of Bhakti and Seva. A perfect family person,P.P.Aniruddha Bapu through His conduct communicates that it is very much possible to beautifully blend our family, social and spiritual life .Spirituality is not escaping from the worldly pleasures and troubles but making our day to day life more beautiful by Bhakti and Seva. For the very same reason P.P.Aniruddha Bapu has provided the 13 point progarmme which is a path not only to fill our life with Bhakti and Seva as an individual but also at the same time take our entire society to a dream of a perfect society.P.P.Bapu gave the 13 point programme to every Shraddhawan on 3rd October 2002.One of the major project among these was setting up Aniruddha’s Academy of Disaster Management-AADM.AADM strives not only to teach the art of saving our and others lives in the times of disaster but also if possible to prevent disasters.
One major disaster that our world faces today is the fastly deteriorating environment of ours.This includes many causative factors the major one being the loss of plantation cover.Another problem that is fast incrementing is the deficient foodsupply .One of the major reason for the same is the loss of land under crops to ever increasing population and deteriorating quality of land already under cultivation due to the overuse of artifiscial fertilizers.Sighting these two problems AADM undertook the project of vermiculture under its wings.
The vermiculture project took shape in the year 2003. In a meeting of Committee members of AADM conducted by Param Pujya Bapu on 23rd July 2003,P.P.Aniruddha Bapu talking about the disasters said that any calamity on the social, environmental and personal front is a disaster. In order to overcome these disasters, Param Pujya Bapu advocated few projects of which vermiculture was one of the projects.

Aims and Objectives :
1,Working towards better environment
2.Production of vermicompost thru’ Vermiculture technology which can be put to effective use for-
i) Tree plantation project
ii)To supply the produce to the drought prone areas and to the needy farmers.
Mission of this project is to spread this technology to everyone willing to adopt this system and provide Consultancy and Supervision for the same along with hands-on training for the project on Free of Cost basis.

Spiritual Base of the project:The spiritual importance behind this project is that ‘Trees’ are considered as living immovable souls. By supplying them with good fertilizers and water, we are not only nurturing them but also trying to repay the obligation of Mother Earth in a small and righteous way.

Definition : Vermiculture means cultivation of earthworms.
Vermicompost : excreta of earthworms.
Vermicompost is one of the most effective and environment friendly fertilizers without any harmful side effects.
Mumbai at present faces a huge problem of garbage. Mumbai produces daily 6000-7000 tonnes of garbage of which household garbage forms a major chunck. Also due to limited land resource of Mumbai, Mumbai’s dumping ground are unable to take care of the whole of Mumbai’s garbage. Thus Mumbai’s garbage burden is now been put on Navi Mumbai and Thane. Also the dumping grounds themselves are big hazzard to the health of the citizens residing in the vicinity and also to the environment. And therefore looking for new dumping grounds will not only temporarily relieve us of our problem, there is a need for a proper and healthy way to efficiently dispose the garbage. That’s where vermiculture comes to pur help.
Earthworms eat cowdung and other solid wastes like household garbage and give out vermicompost. Muncipal waste and nontoxic solid and liquid waste can also be similarly converted to vermicompost. And the vermicompost so formed is niether hazaedous nor a waste but is one of excellent manure. Thus earthworms not only rid us of our major chunck of garbage but also provide us the manure. Therefore our beloved P.P.AniruddhaBapu had once said that there is no other organism as helpful to mankind as the earthworm. The project was first started at residence of volunteers who created vermiculture bins from household items and with initial seed of earthworms provided by the Academy.
Vermiculture project encompases two components.
a) Vermiculture undertaken on large scale basis such as in Cooperative Housing Societies.
b) Vermiculture on household basis.

The Basics for any vermiculture projects are
l 1. A living environment usually called “ bedding”
l 2. A food source
l 3. Adequate moisture
l 4.Adequate aeration
l 5. Protection from extreme temperature

1. Bedding : - Selection of proper bedding material is key element of success of project. Worms can be enormously productive (and reproductive) if conditions are good; however their efficiency drops if the basics are not meet.
2. Food source: - Compost worms are big eaters. Under the ideal conditions, they are able to consume in excess of their body weight each day, although the general thumb rule is ½ of their body weight per day.
3. Adequate Moisture : -The bedding used should be able to hold sufficient moisture if the worms are to have a livable environment. They breathe through their skin and so moisture content is very crucial for their existence.
4. Adequate aeration:- Worms are oxygen breathers and cannot survive anaerobic conditions. They operate best when ventilation is good and the material they are living is porous and well aerated.
5. Protection from extreme temperature: - The temperature control is essential for both vermicomposting and vermiculturing process.
The other important parameters are ph, salt content and proper shadow.


AADM conducted a large scale project of vermiculture at the Central Railway workshop (Mumbai) using there canteen and garden waste.This project was hugely appreciated by the local civil bodies as well as by the Corporate sector. The team which implemented this project now acts as a training team for setting up such projects on large scale as well as small scale (household) and upon request also offers consultation to various housing societies, public institutions, Corporate sectors, schools, colleges, etc. Consultancy is given till the period of first production cycle and the people concerned handling the project are trained by the Academy’s team.

Following is the list where AADM has conducted Vermiculture projects.
1.Bhavan’s college- Andheri- 26th Jan.’06
2.FDC-Jogeshwari 21st April ‘08
3.dil Ltd. Thane 22nd Feb ’06
4.Naval Dockyard – Colaba June’06
5.Central Railway Matunga workshop Nov.’06
6. SEBI 13th Oct.’07
6. Pearl Society- Vile parle July.’ 07
7.Cypress Society-Mulund 13th April’2008

At following places AADM conducted trainning sessions:

SEBI
Naval Dock – Colaba
Central Railway Workshop – Matunga
FDC Ltd. – Jogeshwari
Maharashtra Stete Bank
DIL Ltd. – Thane
Bhavans College – Andheri
IES School – Marol
Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan Vidyalaya
Thane Mahanagar Palika School

Vermiculture can also be very useful in reducing our daily household garbage and providing us with a high quality manure which can be used for terrace gardening or can be given to the AADM which can then be distributed among the needy farmers or used for tree plantation projects undertaken all over Maharahtra by AADM.
Vermiculture project on a household basis requires a bucket, a nylon mesh, dried cowdung, hay and most importantly earthworm seed.Once the earthworm seed is released in the vermiculture bed ,the vermi bucket is ready to devour our household waste.After a period of two months we have to stop putting the wastes in the bucket for fifteen days. Within this fifteen days all the waste that we had put gets converted to manure. After this period the entire content is removed and put on a sheet of newspaper making a heap. The earthworms have a tendency to move away from light and they go deeper into the heap away from the surface. So we can slowly start collecting the upper layers of manure which are without the earthworms. By continuing this process we are left with little manure alongwith the earthworms. This are then put back into the buckets with a ready bed. Thus a new cycle can be started and the Vermiculture bucket is ready for use.
The Vermiculture bucket should be preferably kept in a dark cool area. The Vermiculture bucket does not give foul odour. In fact if one tries to smell the manure, it gives the smell of soil which has been wetted by first monsoon rains. At first one feels reluctant to touch the earthworms, but once familiar with their touch it is so fantastic to feel them move on slowly on our fingers shying away from light and finding a place to hide within our fingers. There is definitely a sense of attachment that develops within them. Thus rather than having a single pet we can have hundreds of such pets in the form of this Vermiculture bucket which neither demands a evening walk nor does it dirt your floor, but just ten minutes from your routine.

'Aniruddha's Bank for the Blind

Every human being has a bond to share with every other. This bond makes us reach out; hold a hand; and touch the heart. But then there are some, who rely on touch much more than others because they 'see' the world differently. They are special, differently abled. We refer here to our visually challenged kin.

Sadguru Shri Aniruddha Bapu has asked all the Bhaktas to chant the
Shiva Panchakshara Stotram Aradhana Jyoti 62 page 92 daily from 19th Feb 2009 to 5th March 2009.

THE DAWN OF A NEW ERA

The Aniruddha Pournima (Tripurari Pournima) last (2008) witnessed about
.... shraddhaavaan be blessed with the darshan of Sadguru Shree Aniruddha (Bapu).
Doctors, engineers, lawyers, professors, professionals and other shraddhaavaan from
several walks of life came not only from distant suburbs of the city of Mumbai but
remote towns of the state of Maharashtra, from the nooks of India and in fact from
the world over and could, saying ‘Hari om’, offer their reverence before Sadguru
Bapu. Their heart full of love, they came all the way for the one blessed moment, the
darshan of the Sadguru.
No saffron clothing, no kamandalu, no mala round the neck, no rosary in the
hand, not even a tilak on the forehead and in fact with a clear and explicit view that ‘miracles are jugglery, the tricks of magicians’, how then, is Aniruddhabapu the Sadguruof millions of highly educated and thinking bhaktas? How come? All the special
moments of grace that these bhaktas have experienced have led them to believe that
Bapu is indeed the Paramatma. Just like every other function in the year, the Aniruddha
Pournima was a day that millions spent in an ambience of bhakti. The sight of
millions queuing up for seven or even eight hours, calm but disciplined, writing the
Ramnaam book of ‘The Aniruddha’s Universal bank of Ramnaam’ through their
wait, reciting a mantra or a stotra is bound to arouse curiosity, interest about Bapu in
the mind of any person stepping in here for the first time.
Who indeed in Sadguru Aniruddha (Bapu)? Despite the fact that there is
nothing conventionally spiritual about Him, how come the bhaktas belive that He is
the Sadguru? The volunteers of the organisation participate in the seva-activities
under the guidance of Sadguru Bapu; the zeal with which they do so and in no way
compromisng on their family responsibilities, on their occupation is truly astonishing.
How come this huge following and that too without any deliberate effort at
propagation? What does Bapu say? What exactly does He want to do? Why does He
want to do all these seva activities? These are some of the questions that crop up in
the mind of the new-comer here.
Dr. Aniruddha Dhairyadhar Joshi i.e. Shreeaniruddha (Bapu) is an M.D., a
professional medical consultant. A perfect family person, through His own conduct,
Bapu communicates that it is very much possible to achieve the highest purpose in
life without turning away from worldly life. Spirituality is not escapism. And shrugging
off responsibilities, giving up home, walking away from the family and smearing the
body with ash just cannot be the means to achieving the highest goal in life. ‘Misplaced
notions of worldly life indicate equally misplaced notions concerning the Higher
purpose’; and leading man on the path of the purushartha, this is what Bapu says
pointing to the following verse in the Shreesaisachcharit:
Yugapravartak (English)
ì`dhmat nmD$b R>o{dVm§ Mm¡H$gŸ&
na_mW© nmdob Aà`mgŸ&
åhUy{Z àn§Mt Zgmdm AmigŸ&
nwéfmWv CXmg Agy Z`oŸ&&
(Explanation: Alertness in worldly affairs facilitates the achievement of the
Highest purpose in life. Do not therefore have apathy for your worldly duties, keep
striving for the purushartha)
(Shreesaisachcharit, chapter 14/27)
It is this verse that contains the answers to questions like what does Bapu
intend to do? and what does Bapu really wish? That every human being,walking on
the path of the purushartha, attain the ‘oj’, is what Bapu wants. The attainment of
the six purushartha of dharma, artha, kama, moksha, bhakti and maryada, is indeed
the highest fulfilment of the human birth. It is in order that both the worldly life and
the achievement of the Highest Principle become sources of true joy and at one and
the same time, in other words so that every human being walks firm and consistent
on the path of the purushartha, that Bapu through His own Word, caused the Work,
‘Shreemadpurushartha Grantharaaj’ to come into being.
Spelling out the purpose of His work, Shreeaniruddha states in clear terms in
the Shreemadpurushartha Grantharaaj,
“My dear friends, I, Aniruddha, your Friend, your Mate, have just the one
mission in life - to get the entire universe to fulfill this purushartha of maryada, to
teach and establish this purushartha - that is My aim and without the fulfilment and
the establishment of the purushartha of maryada, the Ramrajya, the reign of Shreeram,
the reign of the maryadapurushottam (the ideal, the only complete and perfect being
who was the epitome of maryada) can never be ushered in.
....and that is precisely why, ‘to imbibe and cultivate the purushartha of maryada,
to nurture it and while doing so, to allow it to develop unrestrained’, is My resolve.”
Bapu connects with every shraddhavan in the role of a friend. He never calls
Himself an avataar. In the Shreemadpurushartha Grantharaaj, He states with His
signature and very clearly -
‘I am your Friend.’
‘I am not an avataar, not of anybody. I was always Aniruddha, I am Aniruddha
and Aniruddha I will always be.’
‘I am a warrior and I enjoy teaching the art of warfare to all those, who wish
to fight their destiny.’
The three volumes of the Shreemadpurushartha Grantharaaj, the
‘Satyapravesh’, the ‘Prempravaas’ and the ‘Anandasadhana’ were released and in simple
words Bapu opened for us, a means of realizing progress in its entirety, walking all
along, the path of the parameshvar. ‘Call Me what you like but it is this one role that
I wish to live. I am your Friend, a Friend who never betrays, a Friend who wants to
see you happy.’ That indeed is Bapu, that is Bapu’s stand.
In explanation to the purushartha of ‘dharma’ Bapu says, the supreme divine
principles of Truth, Love and Joy that stem from purity - their base; and whose one
and only decisive norm is purity, are the true dharma. ‘It is the path of maryada that
grants the aishvarye of the parameshvar to the human dharma’ adds Shreeaniruddha
Bapu in the Shreemadpurushartha.
All the saints of India have upheld the path of bhakti that was always a part of
the ancient Indian values. An excessive and unreasonable inclination towards cessation
of worldly engagement as also a way of life essentially motivated by material, selfseeking
activity, both classify as extremist thought and are largely responsible for the
imbalance in individual human life as well as that in society. Science and spirituality are
by no means contrary or conflicting, they are complementary. It is by striking an
accord of the two, that human civilization can make progress, emphasises Bapu.
Bapu instituted the ‘Panchasheel examinations’ based on the great work
‘Shreesaisachcharit’ and in order to shed light on various aspects of bhakti, He included
in them, practicals relating to scientific principles indicating thereby, the path of the
accord between the two.
In the Shreemadpurushartha Grantharaaj, Shreeaniruddha talks cearly about
His five Gurus. ‘Dattaguru is My Lord and Master, Gayatrimata - My vaatsalyaguru,
Shreeram is the Doer, Shreehanumanta - My Protector and Shreesainath - the Director.’
Time and again Shreeaniruddha refers to works like the Manache shlok, the
Bheemaroopi Maharudra Stotra, the Daasabodh all by Samartha Ramdas Swami as
also the following by the great saint Shreetulsidasji viz. the Sunderkand from the
Shreeramacharitamanas, the Hanumanchalisa, the Sankatamochan Hanumaanaashtak,
indicating to us the path of bhakti of Shreehanumanta, the ideal of those on the
path of maryada. All those who were with Bapu as part of the ‘rasayatras’ to Shirdi,
Akkalkot, Dehu-Alandi, Goa (Mangesh-Shantadurga) as also of the bhaavayatra to
Pandharpur have experienced ever so many blessed moments to cherish in their
hearts for ever. The Ganesh festival is celebrated in Bapu’s own home, which then
hundreds of thousands of people visit. The procession for the immersion of the
Ganesh idol is a huge sea, a sea brimming over with bhakti.
Visiting sacred places of worship, doing different upasanas in these places has
drawn the Indian psyche since ancient times. The Gurukul at Juinagar, the
Govidyapeetham at Kothimbe near Karjat, the Atulitabaladham and the
Sadgurupunyakshetram at Nimbagaon near Dhule are all realizations of ideal sacred
places of worship that happened under Bapu’s guidance. Also under His gracious
guidance and blessings happened the installation of the dhyaanamoorti of Shreesainath
at ‘Sai Nivas’, Bandra, the home of Hemadpant, who penned the Shreesaisachcharit.
Hemadpant’s grandson and the present Pipa Appasaheb Dabholkar along with his
wife Meenavainee were the ones through whom Bapu got this beautiful deed done.
As for the Shreeaniruddhagurukshetram at Khar, Mumbai, all one can say is that it is
a sacred place of Supreme eminence, the zenith, the tiara of all sacred places that be.
What every single person coming to Bapu invariably feels, is
Shreeaniruddhabapu’s ‘pure, sheer love’, love not loaded with any motive whatsoever-
His very essential aspect. Neither does He expect nor does He accept anything from
anybody, never - leave alone the day of Gurupournima, just never. It is not even
mandatory for those attending His pravachan (discourse) to offer the namaskar to
Bapu. The discourse too is a guidance in simple words as to the attainment of
progress on the path of bhakti without turning away from worldly life.
Every Thursday Bapu, while doing the pooja of Shreedattatreya, recites along
with all present, the fourteenth chapter of the Gurucharitra. He then does the
‘Aradhanajyoti’ upasana with the bhaktas present and even participates in the gajars
sung at the time. Bapu says that bhakti is the supreme strength and so He initiated
the ‘Aradhanajyoti’ upasana that will equip the shraddhaavaan to face and successfully
tide over the difficult times lying ahead and help achieve development and progress
in his life. In order that His friends become aware, alert and prepare well in time for
the horrific era awaiting the world, Bapu penned the work ‘The Third World War’ for
them. This work does not tell the future, it is a visionary’s study of the past and of
the present that led to an assessment of the future.
This work contains multiple aspects: an evaluation of the two world wars that
occurred, a explanation to the phenomenon of war, the event of the third world war
in the context of the current international scenario, biological and chemical weaponry,
several means of warfare and many more. The Dattajayanti of 2006 saw the release
of this work in Marathi and English and now the Hindi version too is out on the
stands. Be it the scheming strategy of China or incidents in the middle-east or any
other events for that matter; reading this work through, will confirm all of these as
we have indeed experienced many of them in the recent past.
Facing the horrifying era of the third world war, calls for equipping and
strengthening the shraddhaavaan at all levels. ‘Defence is defeat. Attack is the best
form of defence’ was the core directive of the ancient Indian Balavidya and focussing
on this very principle, Shreeaniruddha revived the ancient Indian martial arts, the
Mudgalvidya and the Sooryabhedanvidya. He also established the ‘Aniruddha’s
Academy of Disaster Management’ (A.A.D.M.) that would train and prepare His
friends to face all kinds of natural and man-made disasters, save their own lives and
even that of others; in sum train in disaster management.
The above project also happens to be part of the 13-point programme that
Bapu gave to us on 3rd October 2002. These training courses that include various
rescue methods and CPCR techniques etc. are offered free of cost. To date, the
DMVs (disaster management volunteers) have made a valuable contribution towards
managing disasters. The unusual downpours of 26th July 2005, the landslide at Sakinaka,
the serial blasts in Mumbai’s local trains on 11th July 2006, the bomb blast at Ghatkopar
on 2nd December 2002 - DMVs had rushed to offer help at the site of all of these
disasters and were part of the rescue operations. They even manage crowds every
year at the time of the Ganesh festival. Similarly the DMVs manage and control
crowds at annual fairs at Mandhradevi, Jyotiba and even at Nasik at the time of the
Kumbha mela.
Under the guidance of Shreeaniruddha Bapu, several seva projects are
implemented as part of the 13 point programme. A health and hygiene campaign
has been implemented for the last five years at Kolhapur-Karanjphen. This year
(2008) about 16,300 students and villagers availed of medical examinations. Accordingly
medecines were distributed and treatment advised. Many were given spectacles. Tests
like the ECG, the sonography, X-ray, etc. and even dental check-ups and treatment
are conducted free of cost. Besides, 7634 students were examined medically and
were then given uniforms (2 sets each and so 15,268 sets), sports material, caps,
slippers, etc. all free ofcost and so that they attend school regularly. The uniforms
thus distributed are made from the fabric woven from the yarn that results from the
‘vastra project’ (charkha project) under the 13 point programme. The volunteers
themselves spin the charkha and the yarn produced is used to make uniforms for the
needy students. Till date, 4000 charkhas have yielded 1,58,700 metres of fabric
resulting in 71,376 uniform sets that were received by 35,683 needy students.
The ‘Annapoornaprasadam’ project offers to students of the rural and tribal
areas a mid-day meal. The volunteers themselves cook the food and serve it to the
children. As of today 3100 students belonging to 32 different schools avail of this
seva. The Kolhapur-Karanjphen project could offer mahaprasad (food) to 40,000
adults and children in the region. here again it was the volunteers who cooked and
served the food with love to them.
The eco-friendly Ganesh idols, another innovative project is a significant measure
towards protecting the environment. Ganesh idols are made by volunteers from the
pulp of the paper of the Ramnaam book that the shraddhaavaan bhaktas write. This
year (2008) about 3200 Ganesh idols were taken home and worshipped.
Moreover, other projects include provision of foodgrains, medicines, clothes,
material required in school, etc. to persons suffering from leprosy. These persons also
receive guidance as to possibilities of earning their livelihood. Seva is als offered in
institutions for the mentally challenged, the mental hospitals. Students residing in
remote places difficult to access are also provided with articles of everyday use, school
text books, etc.
In the year 2005-2006 the cattle numbering 400 - 500 of the famine-struck
regions in Purandar taluka of Pune district received a regular provision of a truckload
of fodder for one whole month. This seva on the part of the organization reached
the cattle at the right time averting the possibility of starvation. The volunteers then
put in their time and physical energy to help the residents of this region to successfully
face the paucity of water. Also, under the ‘Old is gold’ project of the 13 point
programme, a survey was conducted in the taluka of Purandar and essentials were
distributed free of cost among the people.
As the volunteers participate in the various seva projects, they never lose sight
of the fact that Bapu always emphasises: He says, bhakti is the essence, the core of
seva. It is devotional services that we offer. The term ‘bhakti’ stems from the root
verb ‘bhaj sevaayaam’. Thus ‘bhakti’ implies seva offered with love and affection.
Neither can bhakti be complete without seva nor can true, heartfelt seva happen
without the foundation of bhakti. Bhakti keeps us firmly grounded, it does not allow
the ego to take root, says ShreeaniruddhaBapu.
‘Preach only what you practise’ or rather ‘Practise first and only then preach it’
is what Bapu actually follows. Every single day Bapu spins the charkha, He writes the
Ramnaam book, walks for an hour as part of the exercise regime, takes up His
children’s studies, reads a chapter of the Shreesaisachcharit, two from the Gurucharitra,
he reads the Vishnusahasranaam, the entire Sunderkand of the Shreeramacharitamanas,
the ‘Ramrasayan’, recites the Dattabavani, reads a chapter from the work
‘Dattamahaatmya’ by Vasudevanandasaraswati and also the Ramaraksha.
He keeps saying, ‘If at all you wish to give me something, give Me the Ramnaam
jap, the Ramaraksha stotra jap. I will deposit it in My Dattaguru’s bank but for your
sake, not mine and put it to use when you are in real need. Give your time, give your
efforts for the seva of your needy brethern, for the upasana of the bhagavant. You
need to offer at least twenty-four minutes out of twenty-four hours in bhakti of the
bhagavanta. It is this that is ultimately going to be useful. In the horrific times of the
third world war, it is this reserve of bhakti and seva that is going to salvage you.
Bhakti is the path of the valiant not of the coward. It is a totally misplaced and
wrong notion to define for oneself ridiculous associations with bhakti like being
shabbily dressed or being foolish or uncaring about worldly affairs. Modern technology,
science, an alert yet ethical worldly and material life, being tidily and neatly dressed are
all needs of the hour and one just has to move on with time.’
In the preface to the work ‘The Third WorldWar’ Sheereaniruddha Bapu says,
‘There is no doubt that over the next twenty to twenty-five years, conflict will become an aspect of everyday doings and in every region on earth. In the coming times, the equation of today might not be valid tomorrow and what was valid at seven in the morning might be flung right out of the window after its purpose is served and at five minutes past seven. The calendar is released every once in a year because there is a definite kind of mathematical formula and construction involved.

The calendar of the coming ‘third world war’ is however, going to be a new one everyday.’Dwelling on India’s role in the work ‘The Third World War, Shreeaniruddhabapu
states in detail that it is indeed going to be a significant one. In explanation He says, ‘What is most important is that the task of salvaging the world on all fronts as also that of its post-war rehabilitation will, in all probability fall to India’s lot.’
Shreeaniruddha strongly believes that no matter how big the destructive power,
it is as slight as a blade of grass, just no match for a pure, positive and constructive power. Besides, for the purpose, He is ever willing and committed to undertake a morally worthy and constructive task complying with the norms of the parameshvar. In His role of a Friend, Shreeaniruddha is ever at work, ever willing to take along with Him all the shraddhaavaan on the path of accord mentionned earlier, the path that leads beyond any conflict whatsoever.... to usher in the new era, an era of love!

An era of the human, the humane dharma! An era of pure friendship!
He cherishes in His open eyes, the beautiful dream of the dawn, the dawn of
the new era. His relentless and infinite effort will mark the break of dawn.
The one singular focus and aim, the one life mission of the One, who will
cause the break of dawn, the sunrise and light the way is,
I shall fill this world with happiness and
abound with joy, all that be.

- Dr. Yogindrasinh Joshi
