Installation of Hanuman Statue

Today we received a pleasant surprise when a devotee contacted us asking if we had seen the newspaper article yet. The 'Times of Doon' Newspaper has included the following article.

Installation of the Hanuman Statue

Saturday 27th April was the start of the two day festival to install the Hanuman statue in the meditation Temple at the bottom of the Ashram garden.

It was a gorgeous morning as dozens of people helped to carry all the various required items down the steep slope to the event. At ten O'clock Shri Babaji, the Spiritual Head of the Dehra Dun Ashram, arrived and conducted a beautiful puja (offering) to His beloved Master Shri Shivabalyogi Swamiji, then the Divine Shivalingham, chanting the Mrityunjai mantra. After this He conducted puja to Shri Rama, Shri MaaSita, Shri Lakshmana and Shri Hanumanji. It was a wonderful sight to watch Babaji doing puja with His total surrender and bhakti to the form of the Divine all-pervading.

Teaching from Babaji to everyone 11 April 2013

Your real happiness comes from your Real Self

Babaji Whenever you derive happiness, bliss or Peace (which is highest in that order) from this world - or at least that is what your mind tends to think - it is actually coming from your original source of existence which is recognized as the Divinity. How does this happen? Your mind might be thinking the happiness happened to you due to the object that you thought, own or enjoy through sensory organs.

Shri Swamiji's Mahasamadhi Day – 28 March 2013

It is the 19th anniversary of the Divine Guru Shri Swamiji's Mahasamadhi Aradhana, a commemoration is to be held here in Dehra Dun Ashram.

Shri Babaji's Mahasamadhi Day Message

swamijji meditating As a young boy, when I read about the great spiritual giants like Adi Shankara, Buddha, Ramana Maharshi, I always dreamt that one day I shall have such a Guru who would have Liberated Himself and can lead me to Liberation by removing all my egos. Without such a Guru every moment was agonizing for me. I constantly used to pray to grant me such a Guru. Finally one day I found Him by the Divine's Grace and guidance and when I saw Swamiji, that dazzling glow and aura on His face and the great Tapas that He had performed, how fortunate I was that my Guru had come, it was God who lived with us.
