Canada and Taiwan, teaching the values, principles, and practices of the sanatan (eternal) culture of India. During this period I have been on the move, visiting various states in America, Canada and Taiwan, and living in houses of Indians, Taiwanese, Americans, Canadians, Iranians, as well as in various monasteries, temples, motels, etc., propagating Dadaji’s message.
Since 2006 I have sought from Guruji the blessing of an Ashram in the USA or Canada, and I have eagerly looked for a suitable location in the course of my travels. But Guruji told me, “If you stay at only one place, how will you be able to spread Dadaji’s message? After all, who knows you? And who is familiar with the Life Mission in these distant lands?”
Accordingly, in order to propagate Dadaji’s message I had to keep moving. At that time I thought, “Sadhu To Chalta Bhala” (“a Sadhu should always be on the move“), and I kept on moving until January 2009 when Guruji said, “Now you need to have an Ashram.”
I thought, “When I wanted to have an Ashram Guruji said, ‘No.’ Now that I enjoy travelling and have become accustomed to moving about, I am satisfied with living in different places for short periods of time without attachment, but now Guruji wants me to stay at one place!”
Guruji’s guidance has always been auspicious for me.
An Ashram provides an address for Life Mission in the West and gives me an opportunity to meditate regularly. On the other hand, short visits to houses, temples, monasteries, community halls and such such are not conducive to the discipline necessary for a spiritual life style, whereas an Ashram provides the controlled environment that is required for the Yogic style of life.”
I viewed many potential locations, but I was not happy with any of them. I wanted a serene and peaceful place where stressful people can come for a retreat and experience peace. (Go To Continued)
