NAAM AND RECESSION

Economic
melt down, sensex crash, lay-off and all kind of uncertainties are
in the air as RECESSION is looming large over the world especially
in US and Europe. The Challenges of recession are so grave that even
our sacred ‘Trust’ is getting diminished at this juncture. Even
Ram Naam Sadhak-families are reeling under “Recession in Ram Naam”.
And as a scared lot everyone wants a piece of advice from “Maharaj
ji” for some kind of solutions, at least a knee jerk response of
divine kind.
Dr.
Vishwa Mitterji Maharaj ji will be visiting States in May and
everyone will be seeking his “Shree Darshan” and hear from his
“Shree Mukh”. Mortal questions will prevail upon the spiritual
quest as we are mortals, after all. Maharajji is carrying the most
valuable anti-dote of Recession “pure and Ultimate faith, Shraddha
in Ram and HIS NAAM” which will descend on as “RAM Kripa”
provided the “patra or the receiving bowl” is clean and properly
up kept to accumulate the celestial raining of Ram Naam. This
article is the Suomoto precursor for the mental preparedness of Ram Naam Sadhaks.
Sadhaks in Delhi, do flock around Maharajji to get solutions and
blessings for, prosperity, removal of pain, diseases, yet sordidly
they drag Maharajji to their mundane “Man made” complexities.
Lesser people have spiritual quest as mortal and materialistic
questions dominate. The heat of “recession” is also engulfing
people here, so the traffic of Sadhaks to “give darshan” (and
surely not to have darshan) is increasing enormously. They think
with “Magic Wand” Maharajji will spring surprise solutions for
them. But we tend to forget how those solutions are a matter of
grave absorption of negative Karma of sufferer-sadhaks for
“Maharajji” who takes away the pain and through the process of
purification and he destroys his ownself so that people can get some
relief and respite. Here I want to ask –Is our problem more
important than Maharajji? Are we asking too much for our sake at the
cost of his spiritual and Mortal health ? Just think and internalize
! But I can assure you that Maharajji never turns a blind eye to any
one as he eternally surveys all, through the 64 angles (Esha
Kon or disha) of scanning the space in any given time to oversee
our progess and remove our pain. But he wonders, when Swamiji
Maharaj had clearly stated, which was proven with time, that all the
key of the solution lies within the dynamic and most powerful “Ram
Naam” then why people look for mortal counseling as the greatest
adviser “Ram” is seated within us in an unawakened state waiting
only to be awakened with complete shraddha and ultimate surrender to
HIM.
Yet
I feel Maharajji understands the “Socio-Economic” dilemma as he
prays for all and this he is doing, the divine contemplation, after
emphatic understanding and analyzing the ongoings of “heat of
recession” which is yet to form a demonic shape when crash will
happen more prominently, socio culturally, apart from economic nose
down. But, it’s not that scary if one has complete astha and
faith in Raam Naam! Because of through Ram Naam one can distinguish
between Real and “Unreal” and Param Guru gives the wisdom of
disillusionment.
Depression
of Socio-economic kind is surely knocking at our doors, but for Ram
Naam Sadhak this is another time, to burn the Karma, douse the ever
expanding “wish-lamp”! It is perhaps easy to say than to face
the impending sordid situations! However, I want to take you to the
memory of Jhabua and then Ujjain Jail, where hardened criminals who
faced death sentences and in “solitary confinements” (once the
judgment was pronounced) they experienced the “point of no
Return” and “Blind Ally all around” but I have seen them
“escaping” gallows
with only one thing” EXTREME MOST SHRADDHA IN RAM NAAM!. Many
Life-Termers got pardon as their inner mind almost got the status of
Saint and outer-self saw the sea change as piousness prevailed. A
life termer was released and blessed to be the caretaker of Shree
Ram Sharanam in Madhya Pradesh. These are epitomes of Ram Kripa.
Hundreds of hardened criminals could successfully combat the
“worst situation” as they believed Maharajji and surrendered
everything tann, mann, dhyan, dharana to Ram! These are the
functional catch words that mended their lives and can become our
inspiration to learn and unlearn.
Swamiji
Maharaj, placed “Ram” atop above all mortals so Shri Ram is
Param Guru! Imbibing the spirit of Param Guru and constantly
remembering the words of Guru and Raam Naam are “Maha Aushadhi”.
In the situation of “crisis” most wonderful thing can be
discovered, this has been part of our civilization’s memory. In
the onslaught of recession, we tend to get depressed, frustrated and
experience an all time low! These are symptoms of ailment which need
to be understood in perspective, if we toil for “santushti” and
try to accept the “givens” and do not get driven by the greed of
cravings, then the impacts of recession will be less! However,
before we handle recession, we need to understand its ailments, its
symptoms in originality before we treat it. Symptoms of recession
are thus peeled off.
Reeling
under Socio-economic uncertainties are first sign of Recession.
Economic
slump and debt management become chaotic.
Confidence
level touches all time low.
Emotional
fragmentation rules the life style.
Social
security becomes uncertain.
Social
behavior tends towards aberration.
Instant
non-Calculative decisions add to the woes.
Openings
shrink and we feel that we are approaching dead ends.
Negativism
or Tamas tattwa prevails in dynamic fashion.
These
are some of the broad symptoms of Recession and is taking lives of
people as suicides are mounting high all over the world. But Ram
Naam sadhaks are different and can handle grave situations with
ultimate SHRADDHA IN RAM NAAM. Let us define the concept which is
the anti-dote of recession!
Sat
Guru and Param Guru Ram is surely seated within us.
Holiest
of Holy word is “Ram” that can dispel all the darkness.
Ram
is epitome of Shraddha that navigates the life of a devont.
Awakening
of “RAM” within is the cosmic soul empowerment that remains the
mission.
Devilish
life style or its impact runs into “Auto correction mode” with
Naam Jaap and Param Guru.
Dearest
Dear is Ram, He is sakha and embodiment of MAA.
Hindrances
of life get diminished once we do complete surrender to Guru and Ram
Naam.
Assurance
from Ram unfolds automatically once we fill our body and mind with
Ram Naam.
Inner
confidence to perform and discharge one’s duty comes to the
fore with Ram Naam.
Nothingness
or void will not bother if we believe that Param Guru Ram is our
final destiny.
Ramamayeness
is a state of elevated soul, which descends upon all with trust.
Altering
negatives is possible when we increase velocity of Ram Naam Jaap.
Minimising
the “craving” is possible when we know that there is one truth
Ram and rest is Maya.
Naam
Jaap is a “purifier” that counters and curtails one’s greed
and desires.
Avenues
anew from “point of no return” are opened by Param Guru Ram.
Attending
to duties are eased out when Bhavmaye Ram Jaap continues within
Materialism melts; amassing wealth
beyond proportion dies and spiritual sattvik tattwa
comes to the fore.
Thus
we find, Shraddha in Ram Naam alters our situations, purifies our
mind and life style. Aberrations and negative tendencies are
countered. The Basic Realization of “Ram” within gives
inspiration and confidence to face any challenging situation. Now if
with deepest Shraddha we re-look at recession then perhaps we can
get better empowered. Now Recession will be looked through the
periscope of Shraddha in Ram Naam.
Recycle your talent, discover your
inner potential and uptapped talents to recharge your mindset.
Economic
Management to fulfill basics of life becomes practical when we douse
our “wish lamp”.
Chain
of “debt” must be broken and single pocket pay back solutions be
worked out.
Educational
updates for new opportunities must be enlarged.
Social
bond amongst RAM NAAM SADHAK must be reinvented and revitalized.
Sharing
“Crisis Management” expertise must be the catch word for Swamiji
Maharaj’s Family.
“I
can do and I do have an alternate opportunity” must be the
constant call to the self.
Opinions
and predictions sound more negative than real as even in darkness we
can still see.
No
night will be forever: as dawn and neo light is bound to come after
a short while.
Thus
with deep Shraddha towards Param Guru and reverence like “Absolute
Truth” for the utterance of Maharajji, we can change our
situation.
Crisis
provides an opportunity for
innovation. So I have invented an idea. Think of a group of Ram Naam
Sadhak Professionals, consisting of an Academician, Tax consultant;
Software expert; Motivator; Debt Manager, Psychologist; Social
counselor and Trouble shooter, Lawyers come together to advise other
members of Swamiji Maharaj’s family then many crisis can be easily
countered without being taxing to the Sadhaks who are in problem.
This idea is an extension of “praying” for others which Swamiji
Maharaj had taught us. Because praying for each other allows quicker
remedy in Ram Durbar.
In
the process of prayers, Naam Jaap and Ramamayeness, no sadhak should
undermine Guru and Guru Kripa because Param Guru Ram visions through
the eyes of “Maharajji” and speaks through him to guide us till
our journery to Vaikumtha. Thus to face the challenges of Recession
one must delve deep to get smeared with Guru Kripa. Let us try to
reunderstand Guru Kripa and then, for sure, no Recession can really
unnerve us.
Glorious
grace of Param Guru emits through Guru’s body, mind, words and
soul.
Ultimate
of Reality is hidden beneath the utterance of Guru Vachan.
Rhythm
of silence and melody of Ram Naam echo through Guru in immeasurable terms.
Umbrella
is “Guru” who shelters all as “Maha–Bodhi Tree”:. -- the
seat of enlightenment.
Karma
gets mended and soul scales elevation as “Guru Drishty” befalls
on us.
Recession
does sound Tsunami, but Guru is the celestial buoy who would surely
ferry us to safety.
Inking
spiritual empowerment is his forte. So have complete faith in him.
Peace
or Param Shanti he bestows on all who reels under mortal
restlessness and face calamities.
Assurance
of resurgence of celestial kind comes only from Guru and Guru only.
My
last word for the now, is that no matter how much be the tide of
Recession there should not be any Recession in Ram Naam! RAM RAM
