How did Vishwaguruji get the vision of Alakhpuriji?

A pilgrimage reveals the divine light within, awakened through sacred places and grace.

For ages, the inner power has slumbered. A journey was made to the Himalayas seeking peace. A prohibition against fire was given at a holy site, requiring sustenance from nuts. In that austere place, light was witnessed emanating from the stones and water. The Alaknanda River flows from there, carrying holiness. This experience shows the Śakti, or power, is always present and can be felt. That power enters into anyone who approaches with reverence.

"Awake and create Śakti within us. Satguru, Kindle my heart’s flame with Thine."

"From there it comes, the river, and this river is what is now... Alaknanda, and this Alaknanda is coming from there."

You are my mother, my father, you are my brother, my friend, you are my wisdom, you are all my wealth, you are my all, oh God, divine Mahāprabhujī. Karatā Mahāprabhujī, Karatā Mahāprabhujī… Mahāprabhujī dwells in Purī, shedding light everywhere. Where thy bhaktas sing their song to thee, where love flows like streams of rain, there Hari comes in the highest world to listen to those strings of love. Śānti, Śānti, Śānti. Yes, thank you very much. I am very happy, very happy to everyone today, and last, and before. I want to always be for your, and everyone’s, good. Where is that, and where am I coming from? My concentration, my words, and my Gurudev, Mādhavānandjī Bhagavān—these are the days, now you know that. So from that, Bhagavān Mādhavānandjī, you know our Mahāprabhujīs and Mahāprabhujīs, Devpurījīs, Alakhpurījīs. And now it came also, what? Alakhpurījī. You know the Alakhpurījīs, and I was thinking very much. Of course, I said to myself, to my Gurudev, Mādhavānandajī, all is for me, all right. But suddenly it seemed to come to me, and I realized how long it had already been. So we went to the Himalayas, and in the Himalayas, there we were searching and seeking our Śānti, not Śānti, the Śānti, no, no, Śānti, yeah. And so, she went to all the nearby yoga places and all other things, but in the Himalayas. Himalaya. Being Himalaya, the world is very beautiful. It is very spiritual. There are all the times when human people and other animals, etc. And there is the very long Himalaya and all of this. I’m going now, perhaps in one month or after to go there. Because when I will go to the Himalayas, and all this is for our ashram, the Himalayas too, there with our Rajasthan. And in Rajasthan, on this I was looking, so all from Mahāprabhujī is very much there in Nepal. Nepal is very great, very great. And after that, we came to other countries, and so on. So there was Śāntī; she went for nearly five years. In the whole, everywhere in the Himalaya, many this, this… that. And even one day, Diśāntī wanted to go to see up where it could be. And she was going up and, like, holding, but looking like after is very difficult, how to go again back. So she was there, but she was looking this side, so she told me that. I was not there at that time, but she told me all the times. And then it came very near, and this was the Alakhpurījīs. Alakhpurījīs, what is Alakhpurījī? So we have the sannyās, and we are telling this. This was not that time. But Alakhpurījī is very long, it was from Śiva, Bhagavān Śiva, and this, that time. And he’s everywhere, and we know that we have our picture, you have, everybody. So then Śāntīśī was coming and coming once, and I said, "Okay, let’s go. I will see." And it was really very good. It was the way one lived there, which everyone knows. And where is it? This was Śiva and the others, this. But others, I will not tell you everything. To tell that they died, everything, this. One lady and this, everything this, but only till there. And from there, little by little, one could go. But after that, it is going very hard. People were doing something to make a little bit, so they could work very well. But then again, the ocean, the water, and this and that. And then we came there in our Śiva mantra. And that was when I went, and Śāntī saw me, and there were a few of us. And you know that I told you, I said I will go and see. But when I went to the, in this, in the mandir there, no, what is it? Not Raikapuri, Badrinath. So, Badrinath. And in Badrinath, there is a very big… thousands and thousands of people come from all over India to this place to have one seat and have a darśana, really. If you go all, everybody, really you will see something. It is like that. But it is very warm, not? It has snowed very much, and everything. But people go there when they like it, when they want to have that. We want to see God, and they all went and saw God, everybody. And there is one part that is hot water, and this is very hot. The other side is very cool. And there, we are going there. So this is always coming two things, this side and this. And similarly, that is coming for Alakhpurījīs. And from the Ālakhpurījī, you see the Ālakhpurījīs. Alakhpurījī is there, after that further. And there, from there, it is coming from the ocean, from the open. And there, Śāntī, she was looking there, and from there she told me there, and I was coming there, and that from this, that one of that Mahārāj, there was this, and he said, "Swāmījī, please come, Mahāmaṇḍaleśwar, Mahāmaṇḍaleśwarjī, sit here, this," and they gave me prasād, and well, after I gave them one sāl and some money and something, they said, "No, no," they gave me first, to me, many things. Well, I said that I want to go there to see that Alakhpurījī. And then he said, "Okay, Swāmījī, you are going?" I said, "Yes." And I said, "We are going there because we will take time." And there is nothing, not anything. It is stones, only stones everywhere. And very little grass, yeah, very little. So we said we will, two or three, we will remain there, and we will eat something. So we took many things with us. And this Paṇḍit said, "Mādhavānandjī, your Gurujī, and Mela, by name, if you want to go and see the Alakhpurījīs, and you see that Śiva, Bhagavān, then don’t, in this one month, nobody should light a fire, nothing, no fire, and nothing, making vegetables or anything, or salad or this, anything." I said, "What is this? One day is okay, but three days, how will we do it?" And so this Paṇḍit Arbuthi is great. He said to Swāmījī, "He is the head for a whole district." Well, he said, "Swāmījī, don’t give the fire there, nothing." Then I said, "Well, what will I eat?" He said, "No. Only you can eat nuts and this and that. Nothing is making this." Okay, so he gave me so much nuts and this and that. But for other people, I had with me about twenty. Twenty it was, no? Or little male, or thirty, and some people, and this. Oh, how will it be? And then I have with me, you know, the police. So my police, five police is my all that time when in India everywhere. Okay, so they also brought something. And this, oh, I saw this, I saw this. I come, love it. You see, I tell you that this is how it is, even. Well, we got this nut so many, and this, and there was Vandak Swāmī. Himalaya, he had little heat somewhere in the, and there, he saw me. I don’t know, I don’t know who he was, but he knows me. All the people know. So I went to him, and he said, "Swāmījī, come, please, and have a chai, okay? Ajīv chai, and this, and very good." And I gave him some money also. He said, "No, no, no money, Swāmījī, this is everything, and my people are already gone." I tell you how we are doing. And this is why, how it is that my… Now, for example, our Mahārāj Jī, he said, and Mātājī said, "Where was he? How long is it from there to here? How long is it?" Āpke Mātājī calegayī thī na? Kitnī dūr hai yahāṁ se? So from that side, no? So from that, in this, I tell you that when Matajī was—she is my wife, the Matajī—I always called her Matajī, and she was completely like that, but she is not anymore. I said to sit down there. All three were with this, that. And then I said, "Okay, to be peaceful, be peaceful." But he said she’s completely. I said, "No, Matajī." And then she was not speaking to anybody, nothing. And then, when I came to, yes, I am here, there, and no, Ma, so Mātājī, she opened, she opened her eyes, everything, and she told me, "Speak with me something, no? Yes or no? Yes." So, she came here like this. I said, "Matajī, it will be okay." Just close your eyes and be peaceful. And she was peaceful, and then, actually, after she died. So I said, "How does it happen? So many, many mighty people have something happen. How is this coming from them to this?" I said, Mahāprabhujī Padmanābhānandjī, Śrī Devpurījī, everybody. But it has given very much. How many years after that? How is it? Okay, I am all like this, and you and that. But everything comes when God gives everything. God always gives. We came to Alakhpurījī, and we came there. There is nothing, only an ocean. What was it? What we call? A rock. Yeah, very… there we go. So we made the house, we made some light, a little bit. And then they, I said, "But I cannot do a fight because it is said, ‘No fire.’" They said, "Okay, like this you can have pūjā, only pūjā." And then we were there, yoga, exercise, practices, and all disciples, all yogis, disciples, yogis, and there were some other little people there. And from there it is coming, the Himalayas, from there down, and from there it is, that Śāntī knows. And from there it comes, the river, and this river is what is now, that is never. Alaknanda, Alaknanda, so Alaknanda, and this Alaknanda is coming from there. And you know that it is in the Himalayas, to the Himalayas, that ultimately all comes. There is this, then comes the real Hindus, Mandir or something, whatever it is. So one side comes this, and this one side is coming, and still the water is going everywhere. Very nice. And this river is very good, everything in that way. Now, in this, there is a name, Alak. Yeah, Alak. Alakhā is a name. He has that from a thousand years ago. What time was that? This is coming here from that. And so he did. So there he has one disciple. So, where Alakhpurījī is, and there was one where his disciple, and she was taking care of the animals. And from time to time, they come there. Well, one day, a tiger came, a very big tiger, and that tiger was so strong. He came to this woman, or that, what, yeah, Devī, yeah. And so, it was very big that day, and there were so many cows, many, many cows in this. And at that point, Devī, she suddenly became a cow; she became the cow. And he went in front of the tiger, and the tiger said, and she said, "Wait, wait, it is really… and it is really, really, it is written in a book. There, and here, one temple there, and all the people know that, all this. So that he said, that cow said to Daigam, "Well, I know that you will kill me, you will kill me, you will kill me." But I tell you that two things, here where I am, here should be my temple there. And the second, that is, that my gurus and this, that all rowing there, that is my Gurujī. Alak, alak, alak jyotha hai, but wo alak ek lahi hai. He Gurudev, ek yaha behat, ek mokaus rati hai, aur dosra, it is please my name with you. So, what I, Alak, what was the second? Alak Nandī. So, Alak Nandi, they are still here. And this is holy, this is holy water. From there, it comes into every life. That is, that is what revived it. This is one of the powers that we can practice, and we can bring it, we can understand it according to our thinking: why my words are like this, your words are like this. So, how is it that this is coming? And so the Śakti, Śakti means power. The power is there, and such a power will never go back. You can see it all the time. And there is from that side, and that’s why in the Himalayas there are many, many holy people. And that is, we have to go there. So when we go, we were all sitting in the evening, and the next day, five police came to me, Swamiji. We were all eating so many nuts, but we cannot eat like this. Swamiji, you have been with me for three days. What can we do? So I said, "Okay." I told them, "Go, remain one here, and three go." They are far up, up there is okay, and go and go eating. And then I told you about money. I said, "I give you so much money, and you make so many chapatis. Yes, please give them to me also." And so from there they went to the police. And where was the sādhu? A very good sādhu. It was inside the head. And she said, "Swamiji is there, and please, I will do." So he will make so many chapatis, yeah, and of course we give the money, and they say, no, no, don’t tell the Swamiji money, I say, no, no, give in the ashram, ashram, give. Well, with that coming, the next night, when we saw it, it was very clear, everything. And it is said what we can see there, and the sun was gone, and after that, about one hour or one and a half hour, we are sitting like this and looking there, and really, it… Is it really like there is something that from there comes the light? The light comes from this, very, very heavy, up the ocean, no, not ocean, the, yeah, yeah. So, there it was going like this, and with the fire. Yes, like, what does the light mean? Like this, yeah. So, like a light going from here, here in the Himalayas, in the Himalayas there, and very few people can go to such a height, and this, it would go, and go like that. I said, how is it like this? And the next day, there were a few people. We were making prayers, and a few people had seen something reflecting on them. I was looking into the inside, in the hair in the ashram there. So, after that, I went to see, and next time when we come. And we saw that wet water coming for Alakhpurījī from where? And there it is, it was so. One, first it was early morning, sight, it was light, very, and there was Alakhpurījī, a very big man, person. Yeah, yeah, he was coming. And the other one was coming a little with the water, and at that time I saw myself, and I called the people, and we saw also, just like this, and it was gone. We said, "No, please." And three times I was there, not four, yeah, three times, no, three years, yeah. So, there, when I come, it comes like this, very nice, and like this. And so I said, look, this is Alakhpurījī. And so, everything he gave is something like this. Of course, it was like, like in stone. It was in the stones. And so it is so beautiful and very good. Suddenly, it came very good, and then it finished. And the third time, I had about a hundred people, you know, or maybe a hundred or more. And there are six people who keep cooking for us and this and that. So at that time I told Śāntī, "Look, thank you very much, Śāntī. You have brought us, you brought me; I am with you." And that was so much. So I will see once more, I can go there, maybe I go with Arupel, yes, and you can go there. Because in this, they told me all, because I was three days there, three or four days I was, and unfortunately I did not think, but my lecture is gone. My word is, yeah, so very much, very much. I was there. We were all sitting here. Harshā Devī was showing that, cooking for me, bringing that. And we are Agni Devī’s. And then everybody, no, Harshā Devī, you know this? No, yeah. Then she also showed something like that inside. So there in the Himalayas, there is what is the greatest temple, the greatest in this life. And so I told you that I have, on that day, completely come into that light, and in this, as my Gurujī, Mahādev Devjī. And so I am really in peace and harmony like this. So wherever I go, I am looking at you, I see you, and you like me very much, and I am everywhere, and you know that I am working further on this. So this is our yoga in daily life. Yoga in daily life. That is, and on this, all of you, when you come there, like this, touching somebody, then it is going there. All that is, then when we come near and we are touching this, energy is coming into ourself. Yes, very much. It is going, the energy within inside. That’s this. And how it is, because from the Ālakhpurījīs from there, and of course, Holy Gurujī was there before there in, this time not, but he was in it, not the Ālakhpurījī, but in the Vajra Nālā. And so, everywhere this and that, and I have been in two places, and I will again come and go everywhere to get water from there and for our Om Ashram in where? In Jadan. So, in this, such a thing is with us, and I’m very happy. Thank you. And you should please see that. Only see the Ālakhpurījīs and Mahāprabhujī, Devpurījīs. So you know that exactly everything has come. And so within, within ourself. And if you don’t keep it, even you will not do any more then, but you have light; it is inside that. It is said that one bird, or let us say another animal, like a monkey—they are monkeys, and some people don’t run away, but the monkey will kill it—that some things are there in this power. So, the power is in that. If they are gone, it will still be there, but it will have to take more time. How will their life go? And then I said, "Where we have to have some, we are under, under, Viśvagman, we are in this." So, this is like India. In India, there is what is God’s, and in God, there is about Alakhpurījī, and where is the mantra. Otherwise, people don’t know. They eat meat and this and that. But this is Sanātana Dharma, the Sanātana Dharma, and it comes like this. So I am going today, tomorrow, yes, and I will see you again, and we will do everything. So, thank you very much, my dears, and all the best. Thank you. Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī, Mādhāvanāñjī Bhagavān Kī, Alakh Purī Jī Mahādeva Kī, Satya Sanātana Dharma Kī, Oṁ Śānti, Śānti,… and Hari Oṁ.
