Keep the picture of Sri
Durgadevi in your temple
at home along with the pictures of the seven main
deities
|
|
The arrangement of the idols of deities
in our temple room at home should be made as per the picture strip
of the seven deities published by Sanatan Sanstha. The recently
published picture of Sri Durgadevi should also be placed next to
the picture of Sri Mahalakshmidevi and worshipped as usual. Those
who have loose pictures of the seven deities should place the picture
of Sri Mahalakshmidevi on the left of the picture of Sri Durgadevi.

Give autosuggestions if personality
defects are coming
in the way of efficiency in following the work
procedure |
For the smooth functioning
and completion of any project or mission, in a prescribed time
limit, it is essential to cultivate a work system wherein various
procedures are developed. Such procedures are laid down in the
Sanatan’s various projects and satsevas in different regions.
Many times, due to their personality defects, some seekers either
forget to follow the procedures or do not follow the procedures
in a proper manner. This results in mistakes in the satseva and
a loss to the organization on other counts. The following example
demonstrates this:
It is a procedure in the Sanatan’s ashram to
refrigerate all leftovers every night. However, the seeker concerned would sometimes
forget to do this
and hence the next day the food would get spoiled. Those who tend to forget the
procedures or are unable to follow the procedures properly should give autosuggestions
for improvement in this regard. For example, in this incident, the seeker who
was forgetful, and hence could not follow the procedure, would give the autosuggestion “Whenever
there is left-over food, I will remember that it should be kept in the refrigerator
and I shall do so.”

Seekers and readers should get the doubts
created by anti-social
elements clarified
|
Sanatan Sanstha is spreading
its mission of nation building, protecting the nation and awakening
of righteousness (Dharma) in India and abroad on a massive scale.
The working of the Sanstha is also transparent. However, it is
observed that some anti-social elements in the districts of Mumbai,
Thane and Raigad (all in India) are deliberately giving wrong information
about Sanatan’s mission to the public and are actively defaming
and maligning the organization. If such incidents are on the increase
in their region, the seekers, readers and well wishers should contact
the regional seekers or District seeker and get their doubts cleared
in this regard.

A subtle body’s (jiva)
place after death: one who honestly fights for righteousness, or
unrighteousness and one who changes sides as per the situation
|
Even though doing spiritual
practice (sadhana) is difficult in the current era of Kaliyug,
if one fights for righteousness in this difficult situation, his
spiritual progress occurs rapidly. Such a soul goes to Mahalok after death.
One who honestly fights for unrighteousness goes to Bhuvalok after death. This is because he is honest despite fighting for
unrighteousness. God likes honesty.
On the contrary, God sends one who is neither with righteousness
nor with unrighteousness, that is, who is on both sides and talks
very sweetly taking sides as per the situation, to hell because
he is dishonest. Such a soul spends many years in that particular
plane of existence facing punishment.

Send pictures and articles
given by H.H. Pagnis Maharaj to the Dainik Sanatan Prabhat or to
your local center for
sending
|
It has been observed that distressing
energies have spread a black covering on the pictures and photos
of H.H. Pagnis Maharaj, and the articles He gave to Sanatan’s
seekers and the spiritual practice He had advised them. Hence,
as a precautionary measure, seekers are advised not to keep H.H.
Pagnis Maharaj’s pictures, photos or His articles with them
any more and instead to forward them to the Dainik Sanatan Prabhat
office to Shri Ashish Sawant, Sukhsagar, Opp. Municipal Garden,
Phonda, Goa.
While forwarding the above articles, the seeker should write his full name and
address on a separate sheet of paper and any special information they have regarding
the picture. Detailed information regarding the articles of H.H. Pagnis Maharaj
may be included e.g. when and why the article was given, any particular care
to be taken regarding the article, the seekers’ spiritual experiences (anubhutis)
in this regard etc. If H.H. Pagnis Maharaj has given any ‘Mantra’ for
chanting (Mantrajap), detailed information in this regard should also be included.
Please note that these pictures and articles may be forwarded only through a
seeker who is likely to visit the office of the Dainik Sanatan Prabhat. In no
case should these things be sent via courier service or any other medium.

Message to student seekers
and parents
|
School and college
examinations are almost over and students will have a summer holiday.
The holiday can be utilized for some constructive purpose such
as learning how to handle computers, repairing computers and vehicles,
developing writing skills, cooking skills or the skills of office
management etc. In addition, they can also help other seekers in
their respective satsevas or participate in satsevas in the ashram.
This training will not only help them personally, but also society
in general when the nation passes through difficult times. Seeker
students and their parents should inform the district seekers about
their plans now itself .
Note : The district seekers may be informed of your skills in
advance. The planning for coming to the ashrams may be made after
discussing the matter with them. While coming to say in the ashram,
the seekers should bring their own mattresses, ‘blankets,
etc.

Clarification by Sri Ram Rishi
regarding recently published matter
|
In a previously published
article in the Dainik Sanatan
Prabhat, Sri Durgadevi was mentioned
to have said, “In a situation where the good and the bad
co-exist and the bad is exceedingly distressful, if the good gets
destroyed in the process of total annihilation of the bad, it is
quite all right.” In this regard, Sri Ram Rishi has clarified
the matter further in the following manner:
At present Sri Durgadevi is coming down to the level of the devotees
and helping them. It is not that the devotees have increased their
level of devotion and thus She has come down to help them.
One may be inclined to think that if the good is going to be
destroyed along with the bad, why should one become good in the
first place? However, if our goodness is up to the mark, that means
if we are really taking sincere efforts towards our spiritual practice,
then we will not be destroyed along with the bad.

| * Constant remembrance or repetition of The Lord's
Name. Seekers in
the initial stages of spiritual practice (less than one year) are
advised to repeat The Name of the Lord as per their religion (refer
to Issue 3,
Clarification of Doubts section for details). Those seekers who have
been doing regular spiritual practice for over one year are advised
to determine The Name appropriate for them from the experiment given
in Issue 124,
Message to Seekers section. |
