  • Vadodara Trimandir Pranpratishtha Celebration
    Editor : DADAVANI November 2016 Dimple Mehta Year : 12 Issue : 1 Price : Rs. 10 Real Spiritual Effort of Attaining Conti. Issue No.: 133 Liberation as an Ekavtari EDITORIAL Everyone yearns for liberation, but if one cannot fi nd the path to liberation, then how can one embark on that journey? ‘From the current era of the time cycle and from this location, liberation cannot be attained’; agreeing with this view from the scriptures, people continue to remain entangled. The Lord has said that, “In the current era of the time cycle, there is no unity of though-speech-action and that is the reason why one cannot attain liberation from this era of the time cycle and from this location.” But that does not mean that the path to liberation is closed. The path to liberation is indeed open, but via Mahavideh Kshetra (one of the three regions in the universe where human beings reside). In this era of the time cycle, through the Akram path one can attain Knowledge of the Self and the Knowledge of the doer (Gnan) and indeed also attain a state whereby only one more life remains before fi nal liberation (ekavtari). So what if one does not receive a check for Rupees 100,000, at least he received a check for Rupees 99,999. Can that be considered of any lesser value? What a phenomenon of the current time; where, in an era of moral and spiritual decline, the Akram Gnani emerged and through Him the Akram Vignan manifested! Through this Akram Vignan, within just two hours, one attains the absolute Vision that, ‘I am pure Soul’.

  • DADAVANI January 2013 Dimple Mehta Year : 8, Issue : 3 Price : Rs
    Editor : DADAVANI January 2013 Dimple Mehta Year : 8, Issue : 3 Price : Rs. 10 Awareness on food for Conti. Issue No.: 87 attainment of brahmacharya EDITORIAL A living being (jiva), after coming into human life-form continues to dwell in five sense pleasures as per its understanding. Amongst the vishaya (sensory pleasures) of the five senses, the tongue is the only correct and acceptable one. The rest of them are deluding and made up. By believing them to be true, people become trapped in the puzzles of this worldly life. But when a person gains the true understanding and begins to walk towards the spiritual path, his sensory pleasures begin to become insipid and start to leave. In the kramic path (step-by-step path to Self-realization), very harsh penance and self- control is required if a person wishes to progress spiritually. The practice of brahmacharya (freedom from any sexual impulse within the mind, words and actions) becomes extremely crucial in that. After attaining Gnan (Self-realization) through the direct Akram path (step-less Self- realization experience), it becomes necessary to become free from sexual impulses (abrahmacharya), to experience the Self in a true sense. For these enlightened beings of Akram Vignan, whoever desires to have a clear and distinct experience of the Self through further entry into exclusive devotion towards brahmacharya, will solidly receive all guidance through the understanding that arises in absolutely revered Dadashri’s book called ‘Brahmacharya-Celibacy attained with understanding’. A discipline in diet also becomes a very important part in practicing brahmacharya. To provide an extra understanding on this subject, Dadashri explains that the brahmacharya is obstructed because of the food, and that one should always have awareness over his food intake.
