On the auspicious day of Thursday, while delivering Satsang, Hazir Swaroop Sai Sadhram Sahib spoke about the sanctity, grandeur, and divine beauty of the Maha Kumbh.
At the Maha Kumbh, along with the palanquin of Shahanshah Satguru Swami Satramdas Saheb, not only did those physically present participate, but even those who were not there — whether at home or engaged in their work — united in spirit, took a sacred dip in the Maha Kumbh, and received the blessings of Shahanshah satguru Sai Satramdas Saheb. That sacred bath was a collective sacred Maha Kumbh bath for everyone.
These are extremely rare opportunities, as the Maha Kumbh occurs once every 144 years, meaning it may return only after 4 to 5 generations for us.
Numerous great Yogis and Maha Yogis participate in the Kumbh Mela, and their age remains beyond estimation. These enlightened beings come from various remote corners of the country. These Yogis and Maha Yogis could be 100 years old or even over 1000 years old.
These Yogis and Maha Yogis stand out with their distinctive matted hair and unique attire.
Understanding these Yogis and Maha Yogis is incredibly challenging.
Hazir Swaroop Sai Sadhram Sahib shared that during the Maha Kumbh Mela, a Yogi was taken back 714 years into the past through a special technique used by experts. Astonishingly, evidence revealed that he had also lived during the eras of Ram and Krishna. When asked about his actual age, the Yogi disclosed that he was only 40 years old, and after reaching this age, his aging process had completely ceased.
It was astonishing that he could recall his previous births, where he had lived even during the times of Ram and Krishna.
It is wrong to say that someone is taking a dip in the Maha Kumbh for the first time. Who knows in which birth they had already taken a dip in the Kumbh before! Going there and having the rare privilege of seeing the saints, sages, yogis, and great yogis present is also a blessing in itself.
Hazir Swaroop Sai Sadhram Saheb shared that after Shahanshah Satguru left his physical form, a Yogi once visited Raharki Saheb. When he asked about Saijan, he was informed that Sai Satramdas Saheb had already departed from this material world. The Yogi then revealed that he was already aware of this and mentioned that the divine fragrance of Shahanshah Satguru’s presence still permeated the place, even after his departure.
The Yogi revealed that while he was deep in tapasya in the caves of the Himalayas, he experienced the captivating divine fragrance of a highly revered saint present on this earth. This led him to discover the greatness of Shahanshah Satguru. Drawn by this realization, he traveled to Raharki Saheb to seek the blessings of Shahanshah Satguru Sai Satramdas Saheb, a great saint. Even though Satguru had left this material world, the Yogi expressed that his blessings and the aura of his divine presence still grace Raharki Saheb.
The Yogi explained to the devotees at Raharki Saheb that during his tapasya, he had mastered the ability to hold his breath at the ‘Dasva Dwar’ (the Tenth Gate), which halted his aging process. As a result, he was able to live for countless years because the time spent in tapasya was not counted. Since he did not breathe during his tapasya, he did not expend the breaths allotted to him in this lifetime.
The devotees at Raharki Saheb asked the Yogi how he was able to perform such intense tapasya. The Yogi replied that he had come to Raharki Saheb to offer his respects to Shahanshah Satguru Swami Sai Satramdas Saheb. After saying this, he comfortably sat in deep dhyan, holding his breath. As time passed, the Yogi, immersed in profound tapasya, remained absolutely still, without moving even for a fraction of a second.
The devotees at Sant Satram Dham grew anxious as the Yogi remained motionless for an extended period, appearing lifeless. Concerned about his well-being, they watched in silence. After a very long time, the Yogi gradually returned to his normal state by resuming his natural breathing.
The Yogi then revealed that he had successfully offered his heartfelt gratitude to Shahanshah Satguru Swami Sai Satramdas Saheb at that sacred land of Raharki Saheb and had received the blessings of Satguru for attaining moksh. After sharing his divine connection with Saijan, the Yogi resumed his journey back to the Himalayas.
Such highly accomplished yogis, who had been performing intense penance in the remote caves of the Himalayas for countless ages, would humbly seek liberation at the feet of Shahanshah Satguru Swami Sai Satramdas Saheb. How intense must have been the penance performed by Shahanshah Satguru Sai Satramdas Saheb over countless lifetimes that such yogis, who had been engaged in rigorous penance in the Himalayas for innumerable years, would come to his feet seeking liberation. This profoundly affirms the unparalleled spiritual greatness and divine stature of Saijan. When such great ascetics attained liberation at the feet of Swami Sai Satramdas Saheb, it becomes impossible for us to even fathom the extent of his divine and immense power. The words spoken by him would inevitably come true, reflecting the profound depth and greatness of Shahanshah Satguru Swami Sai Satramdas Saheb’s penance and spiritual energy.
Hearing about such great saints, sages, yogis, and Maha yogis makes it difficult to even imagine how many times they must have taken the sacred dip at the Maha Kumbh during their lifetimes. Hazir Swaroop Sai Sadhram Sahib shared that all of them first offered the holy bath of Maha Kumbh to the palanquin of Shahanshah Satguru Sant Sai Satramdas Sahib. Thereafter, they prayed for everyone present there and even for those who were not physically present. On behalf of all, they humbly sought the grace of Shahanshah Satguru and attained the divine privilege of taking the holy dip at the sacred Maha Kumbh.
Hazir Swaroop Sai Sadhram Sahib told his devotees that the Divine Maha Kumbh Ishnan in which he had participated was, in fact, a sacred Ishnan for everyone along with Saijan, and its divine blessings would benefit all. Hazir Swaroop Sai Sadhram Sahib said that just as we all together received the profound blessings of the divine and purifying Maha Kumbh Ishnan, we pray to Shahanshah Satguru that we uphold its sanctity by keeping ourselves pure and pious through our righteous deeds.
Hazir Swaroop Sai Sadhram Sahib said that while the sacred bath washes away sins, it is essential that we do not fall back into wrongdoing afterward and stain ourselves again. After receiving the divine grace of Shahanshah Satguru through this holy bath, we should always strive to keep ourselves pure, clean, and spiritually uplifted.
