Celebration of Holy Guruji's Mahasamadhi
The Guru lineage and sacred geography connect us to a timeless tradition. The company of saints and the story of God are unique in this world, unlike worldly attainments which even a sinful person can obtain. The soul is immortal and maintains connections across time. This lineage flows from Satyug, from sages like Alak Purī, linked to the Alaknandā river and the Himalayas. The Vedas were transcribed by Gaṇeśa for Vyāsa. True fortune is not found in wealth, marriage, or children, for those still bring sorrow. Real fortune is the darśana of saints, which removes life's sorrows. This world is a form of sorrow; happiness is found only in connection to the divine. The establishment of this sacred site is a miracle, drawing the world to a once-unknown village.
"The company of saints and the story of God—these two things are unique in the world."
"If you want to buy sweets, do you go to the cloth shop? You want happiness, and you go to buy from the shop of sorrow. How will you get it?"
