YOGI © Yogi Ramsuratkumar Bhavan, avril 2013 1 BHAVAN RAMSURATKUMAR YOGI 2 AUX SAINTS PIEDS DE MON MAÎTRE BHAVAN RAMSURATKUMAR YOGI JUSTICE T.S. Arunachalam 3 Note sur la traduction française Le style de Justice Arunachalamji est très difficile à traduire en français, d'autant que nous avons voulu respecter les mots, les expressions et les tournures qu'il emploie. Nous avons fait de notre mieux dans le cadre de nos limitations. BHAVAN Dans cette édition française, des notes ont été ajoutées à l'ouvrage, en grande partie pour donner la traduction de mots sanskrits ou pour donner certaines précisions qui nous sont apparues nécessaires pour les lecteurs de langue française. Ces précisions ne concernent bien entendu pas le texte en lui-même, mais concernent des lieux, des personnages, etc. Le texte a au contraire été respecté très consciencieusement, comme il était de notre devoir.

Depuis les premières années de Sa jeunesse, quand il errait près de la sainte Ganga et de la Kashi1 sacrée, poussé par l'ardent désir de trouver Dieu,BHAVAN jusqu'à Son voyage dans l'Inde du Sud et à Son importante rencontre avec les trois grands Maîtres, Mahayogi Sri Aurobindo, Sri Ramana Maharshi et Sri Papa Ramdas et l' "ordre intérieur" de résider de manière permanente aux Pieds d'Arunachala, la vie de Yogi Ramsuratkumar, écrite par le Juge T.S. Arunachalam, s'écoule en une vague d'inspiration. Le récit n'est pas chronologique, ce qui rend l'histoire encore plus intéressante. Le lecteur y trouve des instantanés de la grandeur de Sri Yogiji à des époques et dans des situationsRAMSURATKUMAR très différentes. La grande proximité et la familiarité du Juge et de YOGIYogi Ramsuratkumar rendent la narration remarquablement vivante. Dans de nombreux cas, nous lisons les paroles mêmes que Yogiji a dites au Juge, et non pas un discours rapporté par ouï-dire comme nous le voyons souvent dans les biographies spirituelles. 1 Ancien nom de Varanasi (Bénarès) 7 C'est une joie de lire le récit de la relation de Yogiji avec Sadguru Gnanananda, J. Krishnamurti, Swami Nityananda de Ganeshpuri, Mayamma et d'autres grands Mahatmas. Le chapitre "Paramacharya et Guru Maharaj" est un joyau du récit, d'une très grande élévation, qui comprend des moments très intimes entre ces deux piliers contemporains du Sanatana Dharma. Il contient de très importantes indications données par le Paramacharya et qui éclairent notre compréhension de Yogiji. BHAVAN Nous y trouvons aussi des expériences presque secrètes et passionnantes que le Juge a eu la grande fortune de vivre en compagnie de son Guru. Mentionnons le récit extraordinaire de la Danse Cosmique Sacrée de Yogiji en tant que Nataraja dans la pièce intérieure de Sannadhi street. Il n'y a pas de mot pour commenter la beauté de la description, c'est un véritable bienfait pour les lecteurs. De la façon dont Justice Arunachalam nous y fait participer, nous pourrions nous étonner de son intimité et de sa proximitéRAMSURATKUMAR avec Yogiji. Il est franc et ouvert quand il décrit certaines scènes de sa propre vie et de son exposition à la Divinité de Yogi Ramsuratkumar. Sa YOGIsimplicité et son humilité – preuves d'un véritable fidèle – sont évidentes dans ce récit et elles le rendent spontané et authentique. Justice Arunachalam n'était pas conscient de son propre potentiel spirituel, mais Yogiji a pu pleinement le 8 reconnaître et faire de lui, contre son souhait, Son successeur spirituel. Il a été un instrument parfait, sans l'ego dû au fait d'être un instrument .Son dévouement complet et son abandon absolu ont fait que la Grâce de Sri Guru, qui est Infinie, a coulé librement au travers de ses pensées et de ses actions. Son intégrité de caractère et son grand courage ont fortement aidé l'institution à venir à bout de nombreux problèmes et de beaucoup d'obstacles. Sa Guru-Bhakti, son abandon total au Guru et sa capacité à donner instantanément suite aux ordres de Yogiji constituent la caractéristique la plus importante, et c'est ce qui a apporté à Justice ArunachalamBHAVAN de grandes bénédictions et une évolution spirituelle que nous pouvons tous voir. Nous y voyons le Siddha-sankalpa 2 se déployer dans Son Ashram après le Mahasamadhi3 de Yogiji. Il s'est produit un développement extraordinaire. Divers projets importants ont été terminés, y compris la construction du Sanctuaire du Samadhi et sa consécration. J'ai eu le privilège de regarder ce phénomène les jours qui précédèrent le Maha Kumbhabhishekam 4 . D'autres projets dignes d'éloges ont été l'ouverture aux fidèles de la maisonRAMSURATKUMAR de Sannidhi street, de Sudama et de la Demeure 5, endroits dans lesquels Yogiji a vécu et où Il a déversé Sa Grâce sur nombre de dévots. YOGI2 Le Siddha sankalpa se réfère aux pouvoirs d'un Siddha Purusha (être illuminé). 3 "Grand samadhi". Lorsque l'atman quitte (définitivement) le corps. 4 Rituel de consécration qu'il serait ici trop long d'expliquer plus avant. 5 'Abode' : les appartements réservés à Yogiji à l'intérieur de l'Ashram et qu'Il n'a occupé qu'à la toute fin de sa vie terrestre. 9 C'est à l'initiative de Justice Arunachalam qu'a été fondée la "Yogi Ramsuratkumar Research Fondation for Asian Culture". En collaboration avec le "Sri Chandrasekharendra Sarasvati Visva Mahavidyalaya", il a organisé plusieurs séminaires sur des sujets importants. Après une période d'activité intense, avec la Grâce du Guru, Justice semble se retirer doucement dans une période de vie plus contemplative. Les souvenirs d'un tel Guru BhaktaBHAVAN vont certainement inspirer de la dévotion dans le cœur des lecteurs. C'est un écrit béni par Dieu. Que pouvons-nous ajouter d'autre ? Chaque chapitre est semblable à un bijou magnifique enfilé sur la guirlande d'un livre véritablement inspiré. Nous attendons avec impatience "Aux Pieds de Mon Maître", parties II, III, IV, V … et de nombreuses autres ! Tapovanam,RAMSURATKUMAR le 31 mai 2009 Swami Nityananda Giri YOGI 10 Sri Hari : Du Bureau De Sa Sainteté Préface BHAVAN Svathi, le 2 juillet 2009 La tendance naturelle de l'humanité est de percevoir la dualité du fait de l'ignorance. Cela ne s'arrête pas là, mais finit par la perception de la diversité dans cette dualité. Le but même de la vie est de détruire cette ignorance et de réaliser l'état de béatitude Suprême de l'Unité. RAMSURATKUMAR Toutefois, cet Être Suprême, de par une compassion infinie envers nous, descend de cet état d'Unité et de Béatitude Suprême en tant qu'Avatars afin YOGIde nous libérer. Même parmi les Avatars, il y a tant de diversité; comme si cette diversité avait pour but de libérer des ensembles différents de jivas6 ignorants. 6 Êtres vivants, de la racine 'Jiv-' : vivre. 11 Des Mahatmas tels que Sri Purandaradasa, Sri Tyagaraja swami et Marudhanallur Sadguru Swami ont mené une vie en accord avec les injonctions des Ecritures et le Bhagavata dharma. Kanchi Maha Swami Sri Chandrasekharendra Sarasvati Swami et Shringeri Sri Chandrasekara Bharathi Swami, par exemple, ont mené une vie de parfaits sannyasis comme elle est prescrite dans les Ecritures. Saint Kabirdas, Shirdi Baba, Ganeshpuri Nityananda Maharaj et notre Bhagavan Yogi Ramsuratkumar constituent encore un autre groupe de Mahatmas de l'Ordre le Plus Elevé, qui détruit toutes les barrières conventionnelles, pour tendre la mainBHAVAN au plus humble des humbles.

  • Sri Ramakrishna & His Disciples in Orissa
    Preface Pilgrimage places like Varanasi, Prayag, Haridwar and Vrindavan have always got prominent place in any pilgrimage of the devotees and its importance is well known. Many mythological stories are associated to these places. Though Orissa had many temples, historical places and natural scenic beauty spot, but it did not get so much prominence. This may be due to the lack of connectivity. Buddhism and Jainism flourished there followed by Shaivaism and Vainavism. After reading the lives of Sri Chaitanya, Sri Ramakrishna, Holy Mother and direct disciples we come to know the importance and spiritual significance of these places. Holy Mother and many disciples of Sri Ramakrishna had great time in Orissa. Many are blessed here by the vision of Lord Jagannath or the Master. The lives of these great souls had shown us a way to visit these places with spiritual consciousness and devotion. Unless we read the life of Sri Chaitanya we will not understand the life of Sri Ramakrishna properly. Similarly unless we study the chapter in the lives of these great souls in Orissa we will not be able to understand and appreciate the significance of these places. If we go on pilgrimage to Orissa with same spirit and devotion as shown by these great souls, we are sure to be benefited spiritually. This collection will put the light on the Orissa chapter in the lives of these great souls and will inspire the devotees to read more about their lives in details. This will also help the devotees to go to pilgrimage in Orissa and strengthen their devotion.

  • Temple – a Place for Dharmic Activities
    Experience the Knowledge of India Temple – A place for Dharmic activities Temple – A sacred place for a range of Dharmic activities D.K.Hari & D.K.Hema Hari, Founders, Bharath Gyan The Madurai division of the Madras High Court had recently stayed a meditation program by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar at the Brhadishwara temple. Let us look at what are the essential ethos and facets of a Temple. Temple, a place of varied activities of Sanatana Dharma The word Temple is derived from the Latin word Templum, meaning “a place of worship”, “of reverence”. Alaya In Samskrt, Temple is known as Alaya, meaning abode, the abode of Divinity. A Temple is not only an Alaya, a place of worship where an idol, Vigraha of a Divinity is installed, but is a body of place of innumerable Dharmic activities that go to make “that” abode of “that” Divinity a place of fruitful association between “that” Divinity and visitors who come to revere “that” Divinity. Shala A Temple is thus also a Shala, meaning a special place, home, a congregation hall. A place for a range of activities of Sanatana Dharma, and a home to different Kala, 1.
