SANSMARAN – PERSONAL RECOLLECTIONS

Devotees’ experiences
with Shri Babaji, Shri Munirajji and Shri Shastriji
&
Words Of Wisdom
from Shri Babaji, Shri Munirajji and Shri Shastriji

An Indo-German Venture
from the collectors and editors
Indravati (Germany) and Munna (India)

Published by the Haidakhandi Samaj and printed under
Alok Banerjee’s careful supervision

Here we go at last! After 3 years of collecting and editing and some months of printing and trying our best to make the right choices about questions of layout, Sansmaran will make its appearance in India in July 2010, before Gurupurnima.

The book contains a wide variety of devotees’ experiences given under the following headings:
Miracle Cures
Miracles – Big And Small
Omniscience, Omnipresence, Omnipotence
Wishes…
Guided Journeys
How Baba Called Me and First Experiences
Haidakhandi Mix
Who Is Babaji, Munirajji, Shastriji?
Before And After Samadhi

Sri Munirajji did not only give the book its title Sansmaran (Personal Recollections), but also helped in remembering past events in detail, contributed some stories of his own, listened for many hours with never-ending patience to each and every sentence of the last part of the book called Words Of Wisdom (actual quotations by Babaji or Munirajji) and corrected and edited them himself so that the Words Of Wisdom have now become a fully authorized version.

Finally, Sri Munirajji fixed the book’s price at IRS 300.-
The book can be purchased for IRS 300. - in the ashrams of Haidakhan and Chilianaula. Should someone not be able to come to India, he/she should ‘activate’ the nearest local ashram shop abroad which will then arrange the transport from India – and, as Alok assured, will get a discount for purchasing 10 books or more.

Bhole Baba ki Jai!

  additional text from Italian Samaj

Ramananda & Filippo:
In Italy since the beginning we are working in the direction of improvement of unity. So the group of the ashram and lands in Asti decided to donate all the propriety to the Foundation that till now involved only with the ashram and lands of Cisternino. This is an important step and we look forward so that the material unity can lead us to real human and spiritual Unity.
We have more 500 devotees several Sri Babaji centres and we are planning to unite all to the Foundation. We are continuously reminding ourselves that the goal is to do things together.
Other projects are now to build solar panels in both ashrams. The Italian Samaj that met every Saturday is now affiliated to many centers and ashrams in Italy: Cisternino, Asti, Love Centre Umbria, Croce Mandir Napoli, Sardinia Centre (see article below), a new Torino Centre and another one in Como.Ram Lotha is in charge in Cisternino and he manages it very well. Janki Rani (Lisetta), who founded Cisternino and was the first President of the Foundation, has supported our program for Gurupurnima celebrations in Cisternino this July.
While in Asti there are daily Aarati in Milano we do Aarati once a month in the yoga centre called Kailash. When we first met the man who set up Kailash Centre he said “I have been waiting for you for 20 years”. He had met Babaji years 21 ago and has not been in touch with us till now. In Asti we do at least yagna once a month and have teachings about yoga, and many seminars and three regular courses on spirituality and indian philosophy. Asti was founded in 1991. We’ve now built another area and increased the size to 700 sq. m. The temple is beautiful, and the kirtan all has big glass and you can see all around at the beautiful landscape of Monferrato hills and the sunrise. Two people live near the ashram and take care of it very well. We are happy of the way thing are going and we hope to develop even more in the near future.

Jai Maha Haidakhandeshwari Mata ki Jai!!

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

 May I draw your attention to an important event happening in the area of Haidakhan. Since many years the government of India is working on a plan to build a large dam about 8 Km down the river from Haidakhan. This project would benefit Haldwani and the whole area with electricity and a steady supply of water. With the ever increasing population a very necessary project. During the 90's the project got in a slump but recently the government has given this project a lot of new attention and funds to make it a reality. Several surveys and studies have been made in the last years where several times warnings have been expressed that the geological structure of these mountains would not be able to stand the pressure of such a large mass of water. The advice from some of these studies have been to build several smaller dams as a solution to the need.

 Our personal interest is also that the large dam would create a lake so large that it would submerge  whole of our Haidakhan Ashram ! Recently government servants have visited the Ashram to measure very structure and piece of land in the whole area and talks of compensation and relocation has started. In discussions with our Samaj new locations for an ashram have been offered to us some 20 kilometers up the river. For us devotees of Shri Babaji it is impossible to imagine that the temple built and founded by the own hands of Shri Munindra Maharaj over a 100 years ago and our beloved Herakhan Ashram would go under water. To relocate the Ashram and Temples at a new sight, will be a sad day for the thousands of devotees of Shree Babaji spread  all over the world , as Haidakhan will loose its charm and sanctity.

 Taking into account the advice of several experts from all over the world that this large dam may burst for what ever reason it would create large loss of life and property in Haldwani and surroundings and considering our vested interest in preserving our Haidakhan Vishwa Mahadham we are asking your support in launching a worldwide petition to convince the government of India to change their plans for the option of constructing  few smaller dams. These petitions coming from all over the world will surely have it's effect if we all cooperate and ask our devotees, family members and friends to sign up. Please translate this page and down load this PDF file, translate and print it out and bring these signed pages by next Navaratri to India. Those of you running an Ashram, Babaji center, newsletter or web page please do cooperate so we get a maximum number of signatures. Be creative and see how you can obtain some signatures in your area to offer a solid petition later this year.

Please, click here for downloading the hard-copy PDF format

Now, an alternative, electronic, way of collecting signatures is available via the World Wide Web.

Bhole Baba ki Jai !!! Recent message from Shri Munirajji about Babaji's re-appearance. This statement is exclusively published now via the present Haidakhandi Samaj web-site. Up till now there was some confusion about this statement, but finally we are happy that Shri Munirajji's exact words are free for publishing now,  as officially authorized by Shri Alok Banerjee, Administrative Chairman of the International Haidakhandi Samaj. Thus spoke Shri Muniraj-ji: " many of our devotees often ask when Shree Babaji will appear again. As per my feeling Shree Babaji has to definetely come and I also feel that He will come with a revolution. But you all should not be worried about this for Shree Babaji is capable of doing anything He desires. For this Shree Babaji had given the Mahamantra of 'Om Namah Shivay' . So please continue to recite ( japa ) this mantra as much as you can " Jai Maha Muniraj Maharaj ki Jai !! 6th  November 2009 Bhole Baba ki Jai !! Gautami Ganga Mata ki Jai !! Note from your webmaster: for an optimal multimedia experience of Haidakhan via this website, please use Internet Exporer as your browser for playing mp3 Maha Mantra and please  click the youtube movie of the Gautami Ganga river.
