Guruji's Birthday

Today is an auspicious day. Barani Deepam and My gurudev Sri Sri Raja Yogi Aroopananda ji Maharaj's birthday. Went to his samadhi in Sriperumbudur. Offered flowers and bathis. It is difficult to forget his words, actions and thoughts. A great self-realized master who belonged to the lineage of Mahavatar Babaji, we are happy and fulfilled that we are his disciples.

Here are the sanskrit slokas which were penned by me during his life time.

"Aroopanandam Yoganandam Sath guru natham charanam"

"Aroopananadam param Brahma swarooopanandam
yogamaya gnananandam sathguru natham charanam charanam"

My prostrations to you oh! my beloved master.

"Vandey guru padam charanara vindham advaitamrutananda sagaram"

Gurji's Book On Advaita Philosophy (Tamil Version)












Guruji's Meeting With His GURU

Yogiraj Aroopanandaji’s Guru was Sri Sri Trivikrama Babaji, who came from the lineage of great siddha Yogis.He mastered the techniques of Raja Yoga. He worked in a higher position in the Indian Military service.He was Brahmachari who belonged to a royal family and had higher qualification in his studies.
Even if persons of different languages came to talk with him, he would reply to their queries in their own mother tongue.He sent a lawyer-disciple in North India to Madras to see a person living in an address provided by him and the person was none other than Aroopanandaji . The Lawyer-Disciple came to Madras and Met Aroopanandaji. He said that Babaji sent him and he was his Disciple.The Lawyer-Disciple stayed with Aroopanandaji and left for Devalally the next day.
After few months, Aroopanandaji received a letter from Babaji. In that letter he had specified that he would arrive by a particular train at a particular time and also asked Aroopanandaji to come and receive him at that time.As specified in the letter,Aroopanandaji went to the railway station without any idea about Babaji’s appearance.Aroopanandaji felt sad about not seeing his guru in the railway station amidst the multitude of people.
At last Aroopanandaji saw a person in full suit , walking slowly with a brifcase in his hand. Aroopanandaji felt by intution that this person would be his Guru and daringly he caught hold of the briefcase. At that moment, the person who was none other than Babaji, left the briefcase to Aroopanandaji and came fast out of the railway station to the car, which was brought by Aroopanandaji to take his guruji from the railway station , and took hold of the car’s door. Aroopanandaji followed his guruji to the car, which was parked outside.
Aroopanandaji drove him to his residence. After changing his clothes and switching over to a dhoti, Babaji remained in Aroopanandaji’s room. After some time he asked Aroopanandaji whether he knew him or not. Aroopanandaji replied that he did not know him. Babaji remarked "Don’t You Know Who Am I ?" and after that he pressed his index finger in between the eyebrows of Aroopanandaji. At that time Aroopanandaji came to know who Babaji was and where he was with him in his previous incarnation. Aroopanandaji conevyed this to Babaji.
Then Babaji initiated Aroopanandaji in to the path of Yoga and the syallabus, which had to be followed in the path of Yoga. He then taught him the techniques of Yoga.
Babaji said that only Aroopanandaji had to cook the food for him and also he had to wash the clothes worn by his guru. Even Aroopanandaji had to draw water for his Guru’s bathing and he had to bathe his guru, which was ordered by Babaji.
By following his Guru’s instruction , by Prostrating at the Divine Feet of his Guru, Aroopanandaji practised the scientific techniques of Yoga.
Babaji said to Aroopanandaji that the Brahma Siddhis obtained by the practice of Yoga should not be utilised for performing miracles, cheating others, taking possesion of others wealth. He said that others feeling should no be hurt and the principle of truth and yoga had to be followed by living a truthful life.
He said that the path of yoga would cut the cord of Human cycle and one could live a life without Re-birth and final dissolution in Brahmam. This path is the path specified by pre-historic Rishis and this is called as "BRAHMA KALPITHAM".
