 Whoever
or whenever the memories of modern time [after
independence] saints from India will recalled one name is
bound to pronounce with great respect, affection and
vision of worship, Sant Shiromani Pojiya Shri Asaram Ji
Bapu.
Over the centuries Sindh provision of non partitioned
India was looked as the land of religious masters and
spiritual leaders of not only of Sindhi community but of
entire humanity. One such personality was born on 17th
April 1941 in the village Belani of Nawabshah district as
the son of Meghanabai and Thaunmal Sirumalani, According
to Hindu calendar this was the first day of Chaitra month.
Newly born boy was named as "Assu" who with the blessings
of spiritual master Swami Leelashah is known as Pojiya
Shri Assaram Bapu - Founder of several Sri Yoga Vedanta
Seva Samitis (SYVSS) around the world with the main Ashram
at Motara - Ahmedabad in Gujarat State of India.
After the partition of India young kid Assu along with
parent shifted to Ahmedabad and was admitted to school at
Maninagar but schoolings was not matching with the
attitude and interests of the kid. It was the prediction
of family Guru Swami Parsuram Ji, who visited their house
when kid was just three years old that this kid will lead
many people, spending their life in the darkness of
ignorance on the path of spirituality, it also said before
the birth of child in a strength saga father came to know
about the divine powers taking birth in his family as this
kid. Any way looking at not so interest in studies parent
decided to arrange marriage but Pojiya Shri left the house
and it was only after a few years that family was able to
locate him. He got married with Laxmi Devi.
Though he was living life of common person but the fire of
seeking the spiritual knowledge and thrust of self
realization was on continued to grow till he meet with his
mater Swami Leela Shah in the hills of Nainital in Kumau
range of mountains. Swami ask him to go back and live life
of common human being. Pojiya Shri returned back to
Ahmedabad and in course of due time become father but the
inner world was not getting the rest so he returned back
to master Swami Leela shah. This time swamiji grant him
permission to work for the people, guiding them on the
path from the darkness of ignorance to divine light.
Assaram Bapu selected a place on the bank of river
Sabarmati and constructed a hut "Moksha Kutteer" there.
From the day one people started to turn in with large
number for the spiritual teachings of him. Soon the fame
of Pojiya shri spread over the globe and presently beside
the daily teaching of spirituality on television Pojiya
Shri is visiting many place through out the world for
making common people aware of their religious and
spiritual obligations and filling their life with
enjoyment and realisation of truth and omnipresent God.
Today there are millions of people from all part of the
world are following the life style suggested by Pojiya
Shri Assaram Bapu and the number is growing on daily
bases. |
