Birthday celebraion of Swami Avatarpuriji

A birthday celebration reveals the mysterious spiritual destiny given by God, not determined by birth or education. Children from the same parents receive different divine gifts and follow separate paths. A person from a simple village, a master of goats, can become a great spiritual leader by this divine will. The spiritual journey is not chosen but received, leading each individual to their destined work across the world. This destiny unfolds naturally, like a seed growing into a specific tree. All saints arrive by different roads, yet fulfill their unique purpose from the same source.

"In India, in scriptures, they are saying there are 24 Avatāras, so I am thinking that it is the 25th Avatāra."

"He is the master of goats. Why? He is also very good. But with that goat, he has become someone else."

Gurur Brahmā, Gurur Viṣṇu, Gurur Devo Maheśvara, Gurur Sākṣāt Parabrahmā, Tasmai Śrī Guruve Namaḥ. Śrī Alakhpurīṣya Madhevakī, Śrī Devpurīṣya Madhevakī, Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavānakī, Indodhāram Samrāḍh Madhavānandjī Bhagavānakī, Many praṇāms to our Alakhpurījī Siddhi Pīṭha paramparā. I bow down to Viśvagurujī’s holy lotus feet and offer many praṇāms to our Gurudev’s successor, Swami Avatārapurījī, who is over here, to all our Gurudev Sanyāsīs, and to my dear Gurubhāī Sanyāsīs, Swami Yogeśa Purījī and Swami Premananda Purījī. Mahārāj, Swāmī Harī Purījī, Swāmī Sādhvī Mantrā Purījī, Lakṣmaṇa Purījī, Swāmī Nirejanā Purījī, and Sudarśana Purījī, and all devotees, Gurudevs here and around the world who are looking through the webcast of our Gurudev’s successor, Swāmī Avatārpūrījī’s birthday program in Viśvadīp Gurukul, Swāmī Maheśvarānandajī Āśram, Education Research Center, Jāḍaṇ, Pālī, Rājasthān. We are here with Viśvagurujī, and we are very happy that we are celebrating our Gurudev’s successor, Swami Avatārapurījī’s birthday. It is a blessing of our Gurudev Paramparā and Holy Gurujī’s blessing, especially with Avatarpurījī. When I saw Avatarpurījī in 2003 and 2002, he was very close to our Dādā Gurujī, our Gurudev, Hindu Dharm Samrāṭ, Madhavānanda Purī Jī Mahārāj. He was always coming, Avatārpūrījī coming to Holy Gurujī for praṇām, and Holy Gurujī kept reserved prasād for Avatārpūrījī. So I was lucky also with Holy Gurujī. I was doing seva when I was here. I am very glad that I am with Holy Gurujī to do sevā. So I remember this day that Holy Gurujī was keeping prasād for Avatārpūrī Jī. And he will come to Holy Gurujī, and there, doing one picture, I think maybe you will see in Bhakti Sāgar. There is Avatārpuri Jī doing massage of the Gurū Dev. And second, that Vishwagurujī’s blessing that he gave, the blessing to Avatārapurījī for studying and for the spiritual path, he very much, very much... I have an interest in the spiritual path, about studying and spreading the blessings and glory of our Gurudev Paramparā to our Gurudev Paramparā around the world, so I am very happy that we are here. And he came here, I have forgotten, our Gurudev, dear, dear, dear. Bhakta, Rājendrajī and Mātājī also, they are very close to Holy Gurujī. Then, when I was with him, they were doing very much seva for the Holy Gurujī, and they were also very close to Gurudev; they came here. I’m very glad, very happy to be with Viśvagurujī here. We celebrate. This is our opportunity, God gives, Gurudev gives, to be here in the Bhakti Sāgar. We celebrate. Thank you very much for listening. I wish for Avatārapurījī a happy, divine life and spiritual success, and life for the Alakhpurījī Paramparā. He will spread around the whole world our Gurudev’s blessing and glory. Thank you very much once again. Thank you, Gurudev, for giving me the opportunity to share my feelings. Om Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinaha, Sarve Santu Niraamaya, Sarve Bhadrani Pashyantu, Makasya Dukha Bhaga Bhavet, Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti. In India, in scriptures, they are saying there are 24 Avatāras, so I am thinking that it is the 25th Avatāra. It is Avatārapurījī who came as an Avatāra. Hari Om Devadhī Dev Dev Purīṣa Mahādeva Kī Jai, Mahāprabhujī Kī Jai, Madhavānanda Mahāpragrudeva Kī Jai, Satya Sanātana Dharma Kī Jai, Avatārapurī Jī Kī Jai, Satya Sanātana Dharma Kī Jai. Oṁ Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ. He was given by God, and how it happened, how it was made, how it came, mother, father, along with this. Now, whatever is given to whom, at that time it is known. And, like there are two, three, four children from the mother’s body, with their father, now. Now, what is given in it? If there are two brothers or children, one day they meet their mother. Those are two, and the others are sisters and brothers. See, everyone is happy: father, mother, sisters, brothers, everyone. Purī ko amāre gharwāle, walwāle, sabī yaha ye achchā aisā bachchā aisī in kā hūā hai. Aur wo ham aisī kehte ki Bhagwān ke bāra sāta hai, Bhagwān ke sāta hai. Wo Bhagwān hī hai. Ab patā na wo kyā kaisā hai. There are three children: the eldest, the middle, and the youngest. Now, inside the village, inside the house, with the parents, where does it go from here? One will learn that I will do this work, the other will say that I will do that, he will say that I will do this, so where does it come from? Not everyone does it in the same way. So what comes is from Parabrahma, Paramatmā, along with two, comes from the womb of one mother. But it is different. One has this, one has that. And slowly, as we do, we are all good, but one is such that it goes there. The second is that he goes there. That one is a sādhu bandh, one with a very good face, with Bhagavān, one in his class, one there, so he goes from there. Usi ke sāth mein dikhtā hai, hamāre śarīra ke andar dekhate dekhate ki main kahān jā rahā? Ham to dekho ki ek us gāon mein ek ādmī, ek bachchā, voh to vahān jātā, kām ātā, kām kartā, kisī ke sāth mein jātā hai. One goes here and there, the other goes somewhere else and asks. What he wants to eat, what he drinks, when he goes out. And one comes to a new home and says, "I will serve my parents." There is a chance, but each one comes differently. As soon as our saints and sages, so many people from abroad have come. He came from somewhere, asking, "Where is mine? Here, this way," and that is there. So I should go to them. Now, what is mine is here, but I go more to Europe over there. I didn’t even know what I had to do. My village is a very small village, and there isn’t even a school. We used to sit under the tree and perform the ritual. When it happened there, we used to perform it, and where we are now, our villagers used to make us do it. Then I came here, I did it as a child. Where do I have to go? But Bābajī, Mādhavānandajī Bābajī, I came there, I had a wish and I wanted to do it, but I don’t know what to do, what to do, I don’t know. But what happened is that Madhavānandjī Bābājī’s Bhagavān is the same as mine. So, in the same way, in our country and in our entire country, my Bābajī, Mahāprabhujī, and because I have seen them—I have not seen Devpurījī, but I have made darśana. So where does it go? Where does it go? How did it come? And where is it going? And nothing can be done about it. In such a way, in such a country, let’s say, if you ask me, no one has sent me, no money was with me, and I don’t know where I am sitting, but this is what I do. So, why? Because in that, he did it in Nepal, and near Nepal, in that place, and from there, he did this to Bābājī, and slowly, as he came, he came... And who he was, who he belonged to, and he is there. Whoever he did it to, he did it, but he, his... so much that he went ahead of him, he went ahead of him. He will go so far that he will not even know that I am here. So what I am saying is that Bāpujī has done it, Mahāprabhujī has done it, my father has done it, my mother must have done it. So as soon as, but I also followed them. I told my mother to hurry up, and after some time, I went. My father had gone. So, what else can I do? If I could, I would go to the fields and do my work, take the goats with me. This too had happened, but where would I go? It was for a little while, and then it came immediately. So, in the same way, I say that our Avatārpuri Jī is not like that one village, one country. This is what has happened in their house, but Bābā Jī has said, and it is within me, so how far has it come? It has come to America, it has come to some place, it has come to Chhoṭā Raṭāhuā too, so still the situation will be different in their house, and if you can find out. It is possible that within you there is something or the other, but you do not know what it is. So, whatever is of a child, of a goat, of a buffalo, of a cow, of an animal, what is good about it for a person? So, wherever it is found, it is there, and it comes for all. So with him, our Avatārpuri Jī also went abroad and came there. What did he know? He had a goat. He had gone with the goat to a different place. But within him, he had so much that he wanted to go to another place. Kumbha Melā, Jadān, Oṁ Śrī Alakh Purī Jī, Kumbha Melā, Jadān, Oṁ Śrī Alakh Purī Jī, Kumbha Melā, Jadān, Oṁ Śrī Alakh Purī Jī, Kumbha Melā, Jadān, Oṁ Śrī Alakh Purī Jī, Kumbha Melā, Jadān, Oṁ Śrī Alakh Purī Jī, Kumbha Melā. Jadan, Om Śrī Alakh Purī Jī, Kumbha Melā, Jadan, Om Śrī Alakh Purī Jī, Kumbha Melā, Jadan, Om Śrī Alakh Purī Jī, Kumbha Melā, Jadan, Om Śrī... He is needed, but where is he? And what is he? And how did he get the Avatārpuri Jī, like Phulpuri Jī? He is not educated at all. He is the master of goats. He is the master of goats. He is the master of goats. Why? He is also very good. But with that goat, he has become someone else. Now look, by doing this, he has become Mahāmaṇḍaleśvar. Who has become such a great Mahāmaṇḍaleśvar from that place? And when Avatārpuri Jī has become a Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara at some point and is doing so, then his life is also different. His life is at another place. So, how did this happen there? That happened there. Where did it come from? So it happens the same way. So he has come with me; he has come near me. Bāpjī, Mādhavānandjī Bāpjī ke pās mein āye, hamāre sabhī ke pās bīle, ye hamāre gurū bhāīye hain, sabhī to, isī samay, jis ke pās mein ātā hain, khūb hain, achche bane mune hue hain, āye hain, baite hain, sabhī kar rahe hain, lekin bas. Thik hain, yeh huwa, yeh huwa, jān hī sakay chalā hai, lekin uske bād mein ye hai, ki wo ādmī nahīṁ chalā hai, wo nahīṁ ho pāyegā, kyā? Ki wo reste-reste halon, ate-ate halon chalon, reste-reste utte java nahi, to bhaji wo thara resto jahi, wo resto ko nahi hai, aisa hota hai, to sarva hai nahi, wo janba bada ser, ser hota hai, to ser koi reste-reste thoda jata hai, thoda badi, jata hai fir aur baare. At that time, I saw that I was going back and forth, but someone came to me and asked what had happened to me. I said that I was drenched, that I had a wound, that I did not remove my shoes, and that I wanted to go to the forest. He asked what had happened to me, but I said that I will write about it in my book; you will see. So he went there and spent the night in the darkness. I will tell you that there are many such incidents that have happened here. But the lion will go where it is supposed to go. It does not have to go on a stick. That is why our sādhus, our mehrenīs, all of them who are sitting here, they all went on different roads, but they did not go on the same road, they did not go on the same road, they came here and there, so see what happened to them, what happened to all of them. And whatever happened to them, they went back and left. What was the benefit? They are happy, but mostly they are angry with me. So like that, as he was the one who was the most angry with me, from Australia, Brahmanai, Lakshman. The one who is Lakṣmaṇ, he was the first one who made me a sannyāsī. He came from Australia and went to Bābājī Mahādhanandājī Bābājī from there. He brought one of his own. I don’t know. He did not go there, and when he came back, his leg was broken and there was someone else with him, so he left. So he went there, but after leaving there, what did he do? He said, "I will go back to my father." Then he went to Australia, and after going there, I had gone somewhere, first to Australia. So there he saw me again and took me with him. So from there, I lived in Australia for so many years. And he left everything for me, and he used to work there. Then he used to tell me to become a sannyāsī. I said I will become a sannyāsī. Then he became a sannyāsī. And to this day, no one can say anything like this. There is no one like him. This is how he is, to what extent he is, how he is. We are different, but we are not like him. He is, and that money is not like this, and wherever he is, he keeps running around, running around... Like Bābājī keeps running around, in the same way he does this. In the same way, all my sages and sages have come. Because there is such a tree, and that tree is such that the seed of that tree is there, and a lot of flowers have come inside it. What do you say? That has happened, that is there. It has started to eat, it has come to everyone, so it is not that one, so yes. Now, how many are there of one? There are many of one. There are many of one, and many of one. I used to think that Maheśvarānanda has written to me. Now, how many are there of one? So, how many are there of one? Ek ghar ke andar mein pāns tabar hai, lekin vihaṅg alak alak vālā hai, lekin vihaṅg alak alak vālā hai, lekin vihaṅg alak alak vālā hai... But He is one, and He is one, and... Sabhi ko ek ek de, vāṁ se: Om Nam Śrī Prabhudīp Nārāyaṇam, Bhudīp Nārāyaṇam, ham śabdas Prabhu. Oṁ namaḥ śrī prabodhipā, bhāma sabhādas prabhusaraṇa Śrī Prabhu Dīp Nārāyaṇaṁ Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Dev Purīṣa Mahādeva Mahāprabhujī Kī Mādhavānandjī Bhagavān Kī Alakhpurījī Mahādeva Satya Sanātana Dharma Kī Jaya Hari Oṁ.
