Shree Sadguru Prasad - Issue 70 - June 2015Raj Saubhag
In Sadguru prasad issue 70 (June 2015), Param Pujya Bhaishree explains letter 248. Ambalalbhai had written to Krupaludev about his discomfort and anguish at not being able to meet (samagam) Krupaludev. Krupaludev examines various possibilities as to where and how they could meet at the same time emphasising the importance of 'sant samagam' and the true faith. He also considers samagam with Saubhagbhai but that was also ruled out. Krupaludev also probes Ambalabhai to test how deep was his desire for the samagam.
In the second letter explained by Bhaishree, Krupaludev states that in these dark times a person is not able to focus his mental inclinations to where he should. Bhaishree discusses this statement and there is more.
This issue has many interesting short articles, poems and articles in English by Br Minalben. Sujit Nagda has translated letter 194.
The magazine has all the regular features of reporting on the shibirs held since last issue and the activities which took place during that period.

Shree Sadguru Prasad - Issue 69 - March 2015Raj Saubhag
Sadguru prasad issue 69 (March 2015) from Shree Raj Saubhag Satsang Mandal is rich with contributions from Param Pujya Bhaishree's swadhyay, Br. Rasikbhai, Br. Minalben, and Br. Vikrambhai.
The cover article in this quarter's issue is Param Pujya Bhaishree's explanation of Letters 262 and 263 from the Vachanamrut. In the former, Param Krupaludev has expressed his thoughts on the significance of 'Satsang' or in other words the noble company of life-minded seekers. In Letter 263 Krupaludev speaks about the importance of a Gnani or in other words an Enlightened seer for a seeker to progress on the path. He goes on to say that the enlightened seer is indeed an embodiment of the truth and hence one must be far more desirous of developing loving devotion towards them rather than hanker after esoteric knowledge from them.
Further in the issue, Br. Rasikbhai has shared thirty powerful contemplations from the ancient Jain scriptures. Each of them, presented in the original Prakrit as also with their Gujarati translations, are capable of shaking up the reader and inducing profound thoughts.
In the brief English section that was initiated a few months back, Br. Minalben has shared two sweet poems that she had composed for Param Pujya Bapuji's birthday and Param Pujya Gurumaa's Samadhi day. Br. Vikrambhai has penned down a powerful article wherein he explains the importance of willingness, scheduling time and discipline that are required for achieving our goal.
Regular content includes reports from shibirs and humanitarian activities.

Bhaishree's swadhyay from letter 187 discusses the very rapid progress in Param Krupaludev's 'gnan dasha'. Both Br. Minalben and Br. Vikrambhai have enriched the English section of the magazine with Sujit's translation of Letter 200 which talks about Param Krupaludev Shrimad Rajchandra's advice to Pujya Saubhagbhai, which applies to us all.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

We prostrate before Lord Mahavir and
accept HIS presence in our lives. We
pledge to follow the SATDHARMA laid down
by HIM.
We pay our reverence to our Aradhya
Dev Param Krupalu Dev Shrimad
Rajchandraji and will always remember
the grace He has bestowed on all of us
by making the essence of true religion
simple and practical.
We bow down with utmost devotion
to the divine souls of P. P. Bapuji (Shree
Ladakchand Manekchand Vora) and P. P.
Guruma (Smt. Sadgunaben C.U. Shah) for
continuing the spiritual legacy and making
the path easy for us to tread on and un-derstand
it through their pure and
equanimous life.
We are all living in this materialistic
world but we have an aim to walk the
path of spirituality. We are most fortunate
and blessed to have P. P. Bhaishri (Shri
Nalinbhai Kothari) as our guide on this
pathway to Moksh. We seek HIS shelter
with unconditional surrender at HIS pious
feet.
With HIS blessings we are pleased to
inform all pious readers that we are add-ing
an English Section to the magazine of
our ashram “Sadguru Prasad”
Every society is constantly evolving and
the patterns keep on changing.
Thus our identity as an individual or
collectively as a society may be complex
but actually that makes it more interest-ing.
Understanding others, makes possible
to know our own self.
Innumerable thoughts crop up in our
mind & various emotions keep on over-flowing
our hearts. Language is the me-dium
that enables us to pour out our heart
and speak out our mind. Though there
have been so many languages the one
that binds the world is English. It’s there-fore
recognized as international language
and we want to respect it but not at the
cost of forgetting our own mother tongue
Gujarati. Today our youngsters not only
communicate in English but even contem-plate
in it.
Within multilingual societies, keeping
languages of various ethnic and cultural
groups alive is of paramount importance.
By preserverving the language we shall
also safeguard the culture, heritage and
thus the identity too. World’s languages
have been lost with the processes of
colonization and migration.
Jain philosophy has been originated
in prakrit, Ardh Magdhi & Sanskrit. Since
last a few centuries majority of it is reit-erated
& saved in Gujarati.
Our objective of including English is
not to exclude Gujarati but rather make it
a bridge that would lead us to the dialect
in which Param Kupadu Dev has revealed
the zenith of spirituality.
We therefore request everyone and
particularly youngsters to read these ar-
32 MkËTøkwhw «MkkË • MkÃxuBçkh - 2014
33. ticles keeping the above objective promi-nently
in their mind.
We hope and pray that the articles
written herein will benefit the young
mumukshus of the ashram, the foreign
mumukshus and all the readers at large.
May they help to increase our faith in Sat
Dev, Sat Guru and Sat Dharma. May it
be instrumental in uplifting the inner pur-suits
of a true seeker and eventually help
to achieve our ultimate goal of Moksh.
May the spirit of the true saints ben-efit
the world.

LET US GET HOLD
OF OUR MIND
As we soul seekers tread on the path
of spirituality we realize that the cause of
most of our obstacles is our own mind.
P. P. Bapuji always said to us that :
“Mann evam manushyanam karanum
bandh mokshayoho.”
So actually it is our mind which binds
karma and leads us to the cycle of birth
and death and the very same mind when
tamed can lead us to salvation.
Let us today try and get hold of our
mind. Let us analyse it so that we can
take control of our spiritual life and its
endeavours.
I feel when my mind is Weak it gets
carried away and flows with the people
around me or gets attracted to the worldly
things and also reacts strongly to the situ-ations
in my life. At such times everything
seems like a big problem with no solu-tions
in hand. I get involved and affected
by it all and my efforts for peace go for a
toss.
Then I seek the help of my sadguru
P P Bhaishri and begin to follow the guid-ance
given by Him. So the result is that
the times when I come out of His satsangs
or I have just returned from Sayla my mind
is elated and it seems STRONG. With this
state of mind whatever comes in front of
me seems like a challenge. I am able to
take it in my stride and face it well. My
efforts on the path of spirituality remain
steadfast inspite of challenges thrown by
life at me.
When I look up at P P Bhaishri his
mind seems to be under His control. He
is equanimous, peaceful and cheerful. A
good sadhak can also have the reins of
his mind in his hands. With proper sadhna
and bhakti he is able to look at life differ-ently.
Having such a mindset, whatever
comes in front of him seems like an op-portunity
to remove the karma from his
soul. By being calm, quiet and composed
all the situations are faced well and they
pass off without creating any turbulence
within. Thus by remaining neutral old
karmas shed off and new ones are not
bound and the soul feels lighter and more
pure.
Knowing this, all we need to do is put
in the right efforts to make our weak mind
strong and eventually take control of our
mind. As our topic of today says : LET US
GET HOLD OF OUR MIND.
