Subtle World
Under this series, we will mention such incidents that will throw light on some untouched, but true aspects of spirituality and subtle world. The mere arrival of saints results in Vaastu Shuddhi (purification of the premises) of the house
In the year 2001, I was doing Dharma Prasaar Seva in Sultanpur, Lucknow and Faizabad districts of Uttar Pradesh. The person at whose house I used to stay and do Prasaar Seva suffered from spiritual problems of a severe nature. As there was a severe-level problem in the house, his father who had retired from the Indian Army, used to drink a lot and was suffering from several diseases. In his house, an environment of strife and conflict prevailed without any rhyme or reason, there was a financial crunch in the house and several other problems existed too; but there was one silver lining, that the seeker couple possessed an intense desire to do Sadhana and they used to be always eager to contribute their mite in doing Dharma Prasaar Seva. I used to stay at their house for one or two days in a week and after that used to visit Kanpur, Lucknow and Faizabad. Whenever I used to stay at their house, I used to subtly feel the presence of negative energies in the house. During the night, whenever I would go to the washroom, which was in the courtyard outside, I used to feel as if some people were walking behind me. Whenever I used to switch on the lights of the washroom, I would feel as if someone had already placed a hand on the switch. In the middle of a power-cut in their house, I used to feel scared during the evening, though I usually do not get easily scared. On three occasions, when I got up to do Yogabhyas (yogic postures) at 5.00 a.m, I would feel as if someone had entered their kitchen, through a movement that I could spot beneath the curtains. One day I went inside the kitchen to actually see who was there. But nobody was there and all the household members used to be asleep.
One afternoon, when I returned from Kanpur, I was feeling a bit tired. So I went to stretch myself and relax a bit. No sooner had I fallen asleep that I felt a tall person snoring just next to me and the sound of his snores was clearly audible and I suddenly opened my eyes to look around but no one was to be seen. I asked the lady seeker of the house, if somebody had come to their house, but she replied that the children had gone to the school and only she was there in the house. I tried to go back to sleep, but I again experienced the same. I realised that their house was completely haunted. Today, unsatiated ancestors inhabit a majority of the households; hence, undergoing such experiences is a common occurrence.
Next year, a saint Bawra Maharaj (who is now Brahmaleen, meaning He has left for the final abode) had set out on a journey to rekindle Hindutva from Kashmir to Assam along with a group of saints. In accordance with the wishes of my Shree Guru, I took His message to the place in Lucknow, where Maharaj was staying during His Dharmayatra. His aura made it clear that he was a high-level saint; thus, I struck an instant affinity with Him. I said to Baba “ when You comes to Sultanpur and if Your grace is still upon me, I would like to make an effort to contribute to this Dharmayatra according to my capacity”. Baba said “Tathaastu (so be it)” to this. After a month, His group was about to reach Sultanpur and I came to learn of His arrival just one day before His arrival in Sultanpur. I thought that I should check what arrangements the people have made for His arrival, stay, food and Pravachan in the city. When I saw the arrangements, I felt sad. A majority of the Hindus today scarcely know how to behave with saints. People treat saints of high order who are basically very humble in a friendly and causal manner ! His Holiness Bawra Maharaj was a devotee of Hanuman and was a simple being but He appeared a veritable Hanuman, endowed with Braahmtej and Kshaatratej (sheen like that of a warrior) to me. One personal meeting with Him awakened in me a lot of utmost respect and devotion towards Him. Eminent citizens of that city had made arrangements for His stay in a semi-constructed government school. The place where He and other saints with Him were to provide guidance was an open ground full of slush and water, for it was the month of August and due to rains, the ground was in a pitiable condition. Along with a small band of seekers, I arranged for a hall and made all the arrangements for His arrival. Arrangements were made for the stay of the leading saints accompanying Him in the house of two seekers of Sanatan Sanstha.

My efforts embarrassed some eminent persons and they started thinking in terms of making arrangements for Baba’s stay in a hotel. The next day when I reached there for Baba’s arrival, He recognised me instantly, whereas our only meeting had lasted merely for five minutes. When I told Him that there were arrangements for everyone’s stay, He said, ‘But I will stay only in the place where you are staying.” The condition of the seekers at whose house I was staying, was not so good; hence, I had not made arrangements for any saint’s stay in their house. I told Him that it would not be possible to make good arrangements for His stay in the place I was staying; hence, I would make efforts to arrange for His stay at the house of some other seeker. But He started insisting in a child-like manner that he would stay only where I was staying. When I told Him that He would face problems, as there were no good arrangements for His stay at this place, He said ‘You can live, why can’t I?’ Even today, Baba’s affection fills my heart with waves of bliss. Saints are like a child, pure, adorable and pious! In the end, I thought that it would be best to obey Him and immediately asked the couple to make all the arrangements for His stay at their house. The couple was so overjoyed to hear the news that they started crying. Baba stayed at the place for two days and the family made an effort to do Bhavpoorna Seva (service with full spiritual emotion) towards Him.
Ever since Baba’s entry into the house, I have never felt the presence of negative energies in their house again. My Shree Guru has written in a book that the moment saints step into the house, Vaastu gets purified by 10% and if saints happen to stay for a couple of days, nothing more could be better. God granted me Anubhuti of this principle and I am grateful to Him and Baba for this.

Who is a seeker ?
Till the year 2004, one of our Gurubandhu (Guru brethren) was doing Sadhana under the guidance of our Shree Guru. Like all of us seekers, when he was asked to concentrate on his defects and ego, he discontinued his Sadhana under our Guru’s guidance and started doing Sadhana under the guidance of some other Guru. After some time, he took Deeksha (initiation) in Sanyaas (renunciation) from a third Guru . Last year when I went to Buxar in connection with a Pravachan, he came to meet me and like a brother, took extra care of me by arranging lunch etc and all other arrangements from his maternal uncle’s side. His outward appearance had changed over the seven years, like any other Yogi (ascetic) and he had started wearing white clothes; but I could not see much progress in their Sadhana, I gave indirect hints to him to this effect and he also accepted what I told him partially. This year again, I visited Dehri-on-Sone, he undertook a three-hour journey merely to meet me. This time there appeared to be a change in his outward appearance and a Yogi-like change too was visible; however, I could experience an excessive black veil surrounding his mind and intellect; hence, this time when I told him directly, he accepted that he had been under extreme mental stress for the last one year.
A few days ago, his present picture in my profile caught my attention, now he has started looking like a perfect ascetic; but his spiritual progress is still not taking place. A seeker should always remember one thing that if you cannot please one Guru, or saint, you cannot please any other Guru, or saint too and the second thing is that the seeker must surely pay attention to the outward appearance too, for the society looks upon them as an ideal, but internal change, meaning Sadhana and removal of personality defects should be given top most priority. Actually, leaving the protection of a Sadguru like His Holiness Dr. Jayant Balaji Athavale, he went to a Guru whose spiritual level is merely 60%, who Himself is not a saint from a spiritual perspective. But, he liked the Sadhana preached by Him because this seeker’s spiritual level is 40%. It becomes difficult for a majority of seekers between 25-40% spiritual level to do Sadhana prescribed by a high-level saint; hence, he/she finds it simpler to do Sadhana under the guidance of elevated ones. Performing Sadhana under the guidance of the elevated ones (whose spiritual level lies between 40-65%) does not result in spiritual progress at a quick pace. Today, 98% of the so called saints or gurus have not attained the status of Guru, meaning from the perspective of the science of spirituality, they do not enjoy the status of a saint as they are below 70% spiritual level. Today since 80% of the world’s population is below 35% spiritual level; hence, large crowds throng such Unnats ( the spiritually elevated ones but below the saintly level) and become followers and some so-called seekers seeing the ostentation of these Unnats even accept them as their Guru!! Remember that we get Guru, or a guide, only according to our eligibility!
