Saheb and Yogiji Maharaj

Anoopam Mission was established through the vision of Brahmaswarup Param Pujya

. From 1951 to 1971, the date upon which he left His earthly form,

Brahmaswarup Param Pujya Yogiji Maharaj was the spiritual leader of the

Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottom Sanstha (BAPS), a rapidly growing sect

within the Swaminarayan movement with millions of followers worldwide.

During the late 1950s to early 1960s, an energetic and charismatic youth by the

name of Jashbhai Patel was the leader of a large youth group under Brahmaswarup

Param Pujya Yogiji Maharaj. Jashbhai's devotion to his guru, Brahmaswarup Param

Pujya Yogiji Maharaj, was unparalleled and, as they developed an exceptionally

close bond, Brahmaswarup Param Pujya Yogiji Maharaj affectionately addressed his

young youth leader as 'Saheb'.

Brahmaswarup Param Pujya Yogiji Maharaj wrote over 400 letters to Saheb during His lifetime. In these letters Brahmaswarup Param Pujya Yogiji Maharaj

http://www.anoopam.org/thakorjitoday/uk/thakorjitoday_uk.php

http://www.anoopam.org/thakorjitoday/usa/thakorjitoday_usa.php


outlined Saheb's destiny and provided a detailed set of instructions for Saheb to carry out His vision. The letters contain countless pronouncements foretelling the rise of

a new, unique spiritual organization dedicated to the liberation of souls and to provide selfless service to humanity…

" 'Rajmaan Rajeshree' Jashubhai, have faith that from now onwards the

work will be done by the youth only. That group (of youth) in Vidyanagar

will triumph throughout the universe. My heartfelt blessings to all of the

youths."-Param Pujya Yogiji Maharaj

"Oh Jashubhai, we should convince every youth by examples and

arguments. The fields are open and unploughed. This is the proper time,

Jashubhai Saheb, to plough them well. Vidyanagar will whole-heartedly

join this college of 'Brahma-Vidya' (self realization)." Param Pujya Yogiji

Maharaj

"Gods will arrive to serve and help in this college of 'Brahma-Vidya' (self realization). So, get ready

and help others fall in line." Param Pujya Yogiji Maharaj


"Oh Jashubhai Saheb, 125 youth should achieve their goal of staunch 'Ekantik Swadharma' via your

training. For this you have my good blessings. Oh Jashubhai, you are beloved by Swamiji so

whatever you ask for, you shall receive."

-Param Pujya Yogiji Maharaj

"Oh Jashubhai Saheb, …You undertake this work in order to transform souls into Temples for God.


The youth will travel across the country and overseas. 'Dharma' , 'Niyam' , 'Agna' and 'Upasana'

they should follow strictly, that is the goal and there is no other reason for being. Only by being

brave will this be possible. So keep before you Swami Shriji , Brahmaswarup Param Pujya Bhagatji

Maharaj , Brahmaswarup Param Pujya Jagga Swami, Pujya Krishnaji Ada, Brahmaswarup Param

Pujya Shastriji Maharaj and Pujya Nirgundas Swami and perform this supreme work. Our whole-

hearted blessings are with you."

Param Pujya Yogiji Maharaj

HISTORY

Establishing A New Path

Brahmaswarup Param Pujya Yogiji Maharaj was a

profound visionary who believed that whilst religion

should remain intact, the manner in which it is

practiced must be progressive and in keeping with the

times. He believed that the best way to serve God was

to learn both, to recognize that God exists within every

individual and to serve Him by serving humanity.

Brahmaswarup Param Pujya Yogiji Maharaj was

therefore determined to develop a new, more

contemporary order in which sadhus would freely live

and work within society, remaining accessible to all

seekers, but practicing renunciation from within.

Brahmaswarup Param Pujya Yogiji Maharaj inspired

Saheb and eight others to become sadhus and, with His

blessings, asked Saheb, as their leader, to pioneer this

new Swaminarayan order… thus the Anoopam

Mission was born.


Living simply and

frugally, in a commune-

like setting, the

Anoopam Mission

'Vratdhari Sadhaks'

are self-reliant and

together perform all of

their own household

and campus

maintenance work. In

addition, as many of the

sadhaks are particularly

well educated, many

are engaged in local

industries. The rest are

involved in supporting

the Mission's various

activities.

Importantly, as the

income of the sadhaks

more than offsets the

cost of their upkeep,

ALL of their surplus

income, including their

time and energy, are

devoted towards

charitable work.

This unique self-sufficiency ensures that every cent of incoming charitable donations goes directly

towards the activities for which they are intended. Today a host of charitable activities are being

carried out in the fields of education, healthcare, social welfare and relief work. Through Guruvarya

Param Pujya Sahebji's guidance and support, over 100 sadhaks, work together with devotees

towards elevated spiritual practice and continuously expanding charitable works.


The sadhaks' attire is highly

symbolic. It consists solely of a

sky blue colored shirt and crème

colored trousers. The crème color

is symbolic of the earth and of our

position. The blue is the color of

the sky and is symbolic of the

highest spiritual state, which is

union with God. The attire

therefore is symbolic of the quest

to rise from our current state to

the highest spiritual state.

A saffron and white colored badge

is also worn. The logo of Anoopam

Mission, an eight-spoke wheel, is

depicted in the center of the

badge. The saffron color is

symbolic of renunciation and

purification, which must be

practiced internally.

The wheel is symbolic of Anoopam Mission, with Saheb as its center. Each of the eight spokes

represents the principles by which internal purification is achieved. Each spoke is also representative

of the eight brothers who received Brahmaswarup Param Pujya Yogiji Maharaj's blessings and

instructions to go forth onto this new path

PHILOSOPHYSwaminarayan Philosophy


Introduction

Hinduism has been preserved by its many streams and faiths. The

richness and diversity has provided fuel for many spiritual paths,

the ultimate destination of which is the same, the Supreme

Reality.The Swaminarayan movement was founded by a great

social and spiritual reformer, Lord Swaminarayan (1781-1830 AD).

As a manifestation of God Himself, Lord Swaminarayan arrived on

this earth during a time of great social and spiritual turmoil. But in

the short span of 49 years, He addressed many social ills, revive

Hinduism and provided a spiritual path, the Swaminarayan

Philosophy, to last the ages.

A Summary of the Life and Work of Lord Swaminarayan

Lord Swaminarayan appeared

on earth on 3rd April 1781 in

the North Indian village of

Chhapaiya, near Ayodhya. From

the beginning, stories and

experiences abound that

indicated His extraordinary

nature…

Childhood

Known then as "Ghanshyam",

by the age of seven He had

already mastered the Holy

Scriptures the Vedas,

Upanishads, Ramayan,

Bhagwatam etc.

Teenage Asceticism

When only 11 years old, He

renounced his family and

became a yogi. Then known as

"Nilkanth Varni ", He proceeded

to climb the Himalayas

barefooted and perform severe

austerities, such as standing on

one leg and meditating in bare

body amidst snowstorms for 3


months.

He then embarked, on foot, on a momentous 7-year pilgrimage of over 12,000 kilometers in His search for a spiritual guide. At the age of 18, He ultimately reached His goal by adopting Ramanand Swami as His Guru in the state of Gujarat.

Guru Ramanand Swami initiated Nilkanth as a sadhu and gave him the name "Sahajanand".

The Swaminarayan Movement - The Beginning

Recognizing Sahajanand's spiritual greatness and

overlooking more senior sadhus, Ramanand Swami

ceremoniously installed Sahajanand, at the tender

age of 21, as His spiritual successor.

Soon after the death of Guru Ramanand Swami,

Sahajanand gathered all of His disciples and

instructed them to chant the Divine mantra "Om

Swaminarayan". By doing so, He Promised to bear

their every burden and to provide them with His

strength and guidance.From then onwards He was

known as

"Lord Swaminarayan".

Social and Spiritual Reforms

To arrest the significant decline in social, cultural and moral standards, Lord Swaminarayan, through

the Shikshaapatri (a sacred book of ethics), outlined the Hindu moral codes for everyday life. It

provided practical guidance on familial, social, financial, hygienic, moral, and spiritual issues.

Lord Swaminarayan also initiated 500 ascetics, which were of the highest degree. Selfless and

spiritually motivated, they practiced strict disciplines and continuously moved through society,

carrying the message of purity. They helped abolish superstitions, addictions and inhumane

practices such as Dudhpiti and Sati. They also dugged wells and set up alms-houses in times of

famines and droughts.

His Teachings and Philosophy

The basic foundation of the Swaminarayan philosophy

involves a principle called "Vishishtha Adwaitvad".

This concept stipulates that the Lord can not dwell on

this earth without His Divine Abode. Lord

Swaminarayan referred to Anadi Mul Akshar Murti Shri

Gunatitanand Swami, a God-Realized saint who had

risen above all qualities to attain oneness with the

Lord, as His Abode.


Five Spiritual Vows :

DO NOT STEAL

DO NOT EAT MEAT

DO NOT TAKE ALCOHOL OR ANY

INTOXICANT

DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY

DO NOT INDULGE IN AN IMPURE LIFE

Lord Swaminarayan directed his followers

to observe 5 spiritual vows that are

common for most Hindus.

The observance of these vows

would purify His followers lives

and prepare them for spiritual

advancement. For His sadhus,

Lord Swaminarayan prescribed 5

primary principles called the

"Panch Vartamaan".

"Panch Vartamaan"

NISHKAM Lust - free Lifetime celibacy

NIRLOBH Greed - free No possessions. Not even to

touch money

NISSNEH Attachment - free Unattached to place, people

or family

NISWAD Taste - free No Preference in food or taste

NIRMAN Ego - free Untouched by pride or anger

The Holy Scripture of the Swaminarayan faith is called

the Vachnaamritam and consists of a historical

collection of 262 spiritual discourses delivered by Lord

Swaminarayan in the Gujarati language. It is a

catechism, filled with logic, metaphors and analogies,

and divine revelations that provide philosophical and

practical answers to the mysteries and questions of

life.

* How to overcome depression

* How to identify real friends

* How to calm anger

* How to remove ego and jealousy

* How to develop faith

* How to recognize a true guru

* How to realize God

The Swaminarayan Movement - Today and the Future

The Spiritual Succession

At the age of 49, Lord Swaminarayan left this earth for His Divine Abode. But in His teachings, Lord

Swaminarayan assured his followers that he would continue to manifest on earth through an

uninterrupted succession of Gunatit saints. Guided by these saints, Lord Swaminarayan's devotees

would reach "Akshardham", or the Highest State of Consciousness.

Koshalendraprasadji Maharaj

The Maninagar Shree Swaminarayan

Acharya Swamishree Purushottam

priyadasji Maharaj

Each branch of the Swaminarayan order is led by a Divine Guru and all share the same goal espoused

by Lord Swaminaryan: the continued moral, spiritual and cultural upliftment of humanity.

Anoopam Mission Goals

The Anoopam Mission undertakes its spiritual philosophy through a fusion of 'bhakti yoga' (the yoga of devotion) and 'karma yoga' (the yoga of action).


Bhakti yoga is devotion to the Supreme Reality and includes prayer, chanting and meditation. But in actuality, it also goes much beyond this to incorporate a state of mind in which every word, thought and action is dedicated to the Lord.

Karma yoga involves performing selfless service - expecting nothing by way of compensation, gratitude or praise - and humbly offering the results of the work to the Lord.

The devotion to the Lord, which is inherent in both bhakti yoga and karma yoga, evolves out of dedication to the living guru who has attained the status of 'Akshar' - or oneness with God. Thus complete dedication to this guru leads the guru's devotee to himself attain oneness with the 'Purushottam' - meaning the Supreme Reality or God.

The Anoopam Missions vratdhari sadhaks practice devotion by living according to the every word of their guru, Saheb. He instructs them to live a life that reflects truth, love, devotion, non-violence and compassion. He emphasizes the need to recognize the Divine in every human being. Saheb inspires the sadhaks to do this by serving humanity for it results in the service to the Lord Himself.

Therefore, under Saheb's guidance, the vratdhari sadhaks perform bhakti yoga through various devotional activities such as organizing religious celebrations, performing in the Mission's musical group (for singing devotional songs), engaging in the routine functioning of the temple, etc.

In the same way, karma yoga is practiced through chores, employment and humanitarian service. The humanitarian service takes the form of Anoopam Mission's services for all of humanity (regardless of caste, color, creed or religion) in the areas of education, healthcare and social welfare.

In summary, all of the Anoopam Mission's actions and all the fruits of the actions are dedicated as humble offerings to the Lord.

Yogiji Maharaj himself had sanctified the meadows, while passing by. He had rested under a mango tree (now located at the center of the campus & called 'Hriday Kunj') and with His blessings, the adjacent well swelled with potable water to become the chief source for agriculture. Even till this day, the well supports ecology on this 'Tapobhoomi'.
