Pujya Swami Vishwehwaranand ji said that Pujya Swami Nalinanand Giri ji has arrived in this country to enlighten us and to guide us on the path of vedic religion. This has happened because of the divine grace and our noble karmas. Swami Nalinanand Giri ji has been the affectionate and blessed disciple of Pujya Maharaj Brahmanand ji and hence Swami Vishweshwaranand jis Guru Bhai(a fellow initiate into the same sect).Swamiji has travelled to this land by renouncing the life of prosperity, land of His birth and the people of His country.He has committed Himself to the propagation of the Vedic religion, the knowledge of The Bhagwat Gita,Upanishads and the true enlightenment to the seekers here. We are blessed to have Him amongst us as a guide and a source of divine light through His satsangs and kirtan (congregation). He might not be able to end our mundane weaknesses but He has always inspired us on the path of divinity so that we become selfless and benign during the time spent in His grace. | Param Pujya Swami Vishweshwaranand ji recollects on how He first met Pujya Swami Nalinanand Giri ji in Haridwar.Swami Nalinanand Giri ji wanted to be ordained by Param Pujya Swami Brahmananad Giri ji maharaj on the banks of river Narmada( the holy place where Adi Jagat Guru Shankaracharya ji took Sanyaas ). How Param Pujya Swami Brahmananad Giri ji maharaj descended the 125 arduous steps of the river despite being indisposed all because of His beatific grace.Such was His love for our Pujya Swami Nalinanand Giri ji. |
Swami Vishweshwaranand ji emphasises on the importance of Guru on this auspicious occasion of Guru Purnima. He explains as how a true mentor can change us by His grace. How He can enlighten our lives by His Tatva Gyaan (element of knowledge). He also explains as how after many many lives of yogic Sadhna one attains sanyas. And how after Such austerity a sanyasi becomes one with the creator. | Param Pujya Swami Vishweshwaranand Ji Maharaj highlighted that He is bound by the delicate and very holy bond of love with Param Pujya Swami Nalinanand Giri Ji Maharaj. Love is the emblem of the holy spirit of the Almighty given that it is done without any inherent self-interest or for the fulfillment of any materialistic need, want, or desire. Param Pujya Swami Ji further mentioned that His relationship with that of the audience of the discourse is also that of love. Pujya Swami Vishweshwaranand Ji further pontificates that there is any other relationship of the highest order – the relation of being the disciples of the same Holy Guru or Guru Bhai. It is with this relation of Guru Bhai that Param Pujya Swami Vishweshwaranand Ji Maharaj chose to visit Param Pujya Swami Nalinanand Giri Ji Maharaj and attend the discourse since he could not bypass the opportunity to be with His Guru Bhai. |
