This prayer, Tathamurlidhva Manare Aarti Sanjaun Slipuja Dev Purusha Bhagavanki, was written by the Mahārāja of Katubari. He was a great devotee of Bhagavān Śrīdīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī. Regarding the royal lineage, the king, after many generations, needed to adopt an heir. That Mahārāja, or Thākur, asked Mahāprabhujī, "Gurudeva, now I am aged, as is my wife. Please bless us with a child whom we can adopt as the successor to the throne." Mahāprabhujī said, "Now there will be no necessity to adopt. You will have two sons and one daughter." And so it happened; a son was born. His name was Abai Siṅghjī, and he is present now in Kāṭu. The brother and sister, unfortunately, passed away. This account is also in the Līlā Amṛt. This is a morning prayer; you can use it. Prayer purifies the antaḥkaraṇa. Antaḥkaraṇa refers to the inner faculties that create karma: mana (mind), buddhi (intellect), citta (memory), and ahaṅkāra (ego). When we pray morning and evening, it purifies whatever we did during the night, even in dreams, and whatever thoughts, good or bad, we had. Then, after all the day's activities, we have evening prayers. Gurujī has spoken a lot about prayer. A short prayer or a long prayer—prayer is a prayer. Din bandhu, din anāth, merī dorī, tere hāth (O friend of the humble, refuge of the helpless, the string of my life is in Your hands). Anuṣṭhāna is for special occasions, not for normal days. There is a Saṅkalpa (sacred resolve) and the blessing of Gurudeva. The techniques are explained after satsaṅg and before satsaṅg; they purify our negative energies, our doubts, worldly tensions, and many things. In the presence of the guide, we perform the anuṣṭhāna. This sādhanā is very, very important. In this sādhanā, we have the guide’s blessing from our holy lineage. In this prayer, Alakpurī’s name is also mentioned. Now we are becoming more and more aware; it opens in our heart and in our consciousness that we have a great, great ṛṣi, like Śiva, an embodiment of Śiva. We are coming to know him more and more. We are becoming more aware of how his heart opens to us in our consciousness, revealing what a great ṛṣi, an embodiment of Śiva, we have in our lineage. Gurujī also composed very nice bhajans about Alak Purījī. Gajananjī was asking Gurujī to make a bhajan for Devapurījī. Did you ask him? Yes. So Holy Gurujī wrote one or two bhajans. In the Śrī Devapurījī Kabbalah, Alakpurījī’s name also comes. Now some bhaktas—lucky are they, blessed are they—are making a pilgrimage to Alakpurījī’s cave (kufa). It is not deep inside a mountain. There is a cave, but it goes deep within. You know how our bhaktas are; they sometimes do not follow instructions. If you go in the other direction in the cave, it turns to another side, and you could wander in the mountains your whole life. Alak Purījī knew that innocent bhaktas would come with a lot of bhakti, devotion, and emotion, so there was another place where he sometimes resided. He was all over the Himalayas. He is from Brahmaloka, from Śiva’s time. Our evidence is the Alaknanda River. There was a holy mother, we call Devī, Śakti, like Durgā, Kālī, etc. That is called Nanda Devī. This whole area is now dedicated to Nanda Devī. There is also the capital of the Devpurījīs. Also, what we call the treasure of God, that is Kuber mountain. It is not at a very high altitude; it is 3,200 meters. If you follow the rules, it is not so dangerous. Walk slowly and take a few days to ascend. We will sometimes have many people who couldn’t come before; they will come. And of course, everyone will bring something for you, like almonds or other little grains. Your friends will bring a handful of these little things, and you can give them to your friends. That is it. We will have the dhūni fire, and that holy ash will always be there. I wish you all the best. Please practice and take care, with the blessing of our holy lineage. With this, all the best.
