Divine Journey With Mohanji – Part 2

(Trip to Tapovan with Mohanji –  experiences of Dr. Deepali)

Lahiri Mahashaya Samadhi at Haridwar

The same day afternoon, Abhishek took us to Lahiri Mahashaya’s Samadhi in Haridwar.  A calm and serene place. As soon as we entered, we prayed at the Devi temple on the right side of the compound. While we were praying, a flower fell from her garland, as if in acknowledgement of our prayers…

We went to the Samadhi. Mohanji closed his eyes and communed with the great Master Lahiri Mahashaya at His samadhi. After spending some time at the Samadhi, Abhishek took us upstairs to the Shivaling installed on the terrace in a small temple. Mohanji sat cross-legged in meditation in front of the Shivaling for some time and did abhishekum again. He then came to Nandi and kept his hands on Nandi with steady gaze at Shivaling.

Mohanji Connecting with Nandi

Powerful energy was oozing out through his eyes. His aura changed completely – he looked as if he was in a complete trance. His eyes had become red. Later he said: “Nandi is one of the greatest and most powerful amongst Siddhas. He chose to be with Shiva and serve Shiva as His vehicle. A great Master indeed!!!.” He must have had a strong communion with Nandi…

An interesting tangible experience of Mohanish who stays in Pune, India

At this juncture, I must take you to another incident which was happening simultaneously with my son, Mohanish Jaju. I came to know of it the same evening, when we returned to the ashram. I saw many missed calls from Mohanish. So, I called him. This is what he narrated… on phone…

“…..this afternoon I was playing tabla. There was a strong and unusual pull towards sitting in meditation. The pull was so strong that I could not resist. I saw myself in the Jangli Maharaj temple, along with my grandmother (Jangli Maharaj temple is a powerful place in Pune, India, with a beautiful Shivaling installed in a cave). I saw Mohanji and Shivaling. He was intensely involved in the pooja. Suddenly Lord Nandi appeared. I cannot clearly mention whether Mohanji was talking to him or blessing him. I have never had a vision of Lord Nandi before. This meditation was extremely strong. I feel so light after this spontaneous meditation!….. mamma, I was trying to reach you desperately to convey this experience!!

Mohanish in bliss while playing tabla

I was surprised. Mohanish was just overflowing on the phone with great excitement. His experience happened exactly at the same time when Mohanji was communing with Nandi and Shiva at the Lahiri Mahashaya Samadhi. Mohanish was deeply touched by the experience and felt a big transformation in him. He was also surprised that, without ‘doing’ anything, he went into deep meditation. Then slowly, I told him today’s story of Vashishta cave, Lahiri Mahashaya’s Samadhi and Mohanji’s intense communion with Nandi…….Mohanish could not believe that he experienced everything that Mohanji did, sitting so far away in Pune…. His connectivity with Mohanji is so strong, that no words, phone calls or communication is needed to taste Mohanji’s consciousness from anywhere and be with Him always. What a connectivity! This was another lesson for me, about the realms of the higher, as well as the super connectivity beyond any barriers.

Later on, Mohanji commented: “Mohanish follows me where ever I go. He is very strongly connected with me. Most of the times, he operates within my consciousness. He wants to serve me, to serve the humanity. He follows me with very pure consciousness and selfless intentions. These sort of tangible experiences are possible due to this connectivity. This can happen to anyone who operates with firm faith and perfect unconditionality. He experiences and remembers what happened at higher dimensions too. This is because of Grace. Otherwise, we will experience and forget.”

Mohanji and Abhishek at Har Ki Pauri

Another strange incidence that happened at this place:

After these amazing moments filled with divinity, we decided to go to Har ki Pauri. When we were walking towards the car, we saw an old man standing under a tree. He looked like a farmer.When we were to get into the car and start our onward journey,Mohanji again looked at this old man standing under the neem tree where our car was parked. I was sure that this man was not there when we arrived at the place.

Mohanji told me to give him 100 Rupees. He was not a beggar. I got out of the car and went to the old man and gave him the money.When I gave him 100Rs, he said, ‘Mataji, hamse naraj ho kya…(Mataji are you upset with me?).’ I answered, “Not at all, we are happy with you. This money is sent to you by Mohanji.” At that moment, tears of joy flowed from the eyes of the old man. He came running to the car, opened the door where Mohanji was sitting, and touched his feet. He could not speak. He had no words and voice to thank him. Mohanji quietly said, “Aap chinta nahi karo. Gharme sab kuchh thik ho jayega…..(Do not worry. Everything will settle in your house).” With this statement that old man melted all the more. There was a twinkle in his eyes and he gave Mohanji a very familiar look as if someone really heard his prayers. Later on Mohanji said, “This man has many problems at home. He has been praying to Lord Shiva and crying. He was angry and upset with Shiva that He was not listening to his prayers. Today it got fulfilled. He will be fine from today. Baba will take care of him. The money we gave is a debt repaid. He borrowed some money and did worship. We returned that money. No need to do worship or offer anything when the inner space is pure, selfless and clean.”

Abhishek and I fell into silence. It was difficult for us to comprehend all that. We both were far away from understanding these subtle phenomena. We were in for surprise after surprise. Mohanji did not even expect or wait to accept “thanks” from him… following the perfect Siddha Tradition. He was not even owning this deed. He asked me to perform this duty and was sitting in the car, looking outside, as if nothing was happening. He always tells us: “Do your dharma and walk away. Do not expect / wait for thanks!”

I have always observed that Mohanji is not attached to any of his actions. He just performs the required deed and walks away without any attachments. There is a certain spontaneity in all his actions. Nothing is deliberate or artificial. This makes it even more difficult for a city being, who operates on set patterns, expectation and standards, to move with him, as he is so unpredictable. A great lesson – attachments and expectations breed sorrows.

Mohanji at Har Ki Pauri - Intensity...

Har ki Pauri (meaning ‘divine feet’) is a famous spiritual place. It is the place where a drop of Amrit (divine nectar) fell when Garuda was carrying it. It is a place where Kumbhamela is held at, every 4 years. The most recent Kumbhamela was in March 2010. I was eager to bathe in Ganga at Har ki Pauri. It is said that it cleanses our karmas and sins of many life times.

I am sorry to state the filth we saw at Har ki Pauri. The place was full of rotten food, flies, bad smell and what not. This is an important spiritual place. It is probably difficult to maintain it due to millions of people attending with great faith. When I expressed this concern to Mohanji, he simply said, “Does it really matter how the place is? Do external situations matter at all? Of course, we must preserve the cleanliness of our surroundings. Yet, what really matters is the cleanliness of your inner space. Har ki Pauri  has spiritual significance. Is it that all those who come here really get transformed? NO. Transformation depends upon your purity, faith and surrender. Bathing in Ganga is important as there is no river on earth like mother Ganga, but later on one should take efforts to maintain that inner cleanliness too. We have to preserve our inner purity through selfless thoughts, words and action. Do we actually do that?” Those words had the power to pierce the strongest mental blocks. He had a strong point here. I thought, ignorant people throw dead bodies of their relatives in Ganga, with the belief that the dead relative will attain salvation. Unless inner purity is achieved, salvation is impossible. The dead body will only pollute our beloved mother Ganga. Mohanji was so true.

Abhishek - Silence Befell Upon Him...

Abhishek became silent

From Har Ki Pauri, we had to go to bus station to drop Abhishek. He was to go back to Delhi. Abhishek had so many questions in the beginning. He was extremely talkative and pouring out theoretical knowledge where ever possible. He had many references to quote! He had read a lot of literature. He was eager to be with Mohanji, share his thoughts and ideas, and take Mohanji’s advice.

I have witnessed Mohanji patiently answering all his questions, sometimes softly, at times in a harsh/Shaivic way. His answers directly affected Abhishek. He slowly melted and became quiet and introverted. He started looking inward. By second day, he was not interested in asking any more questions! He took all ups and downs with Mohanji. He had great perseverance. It was wonderful to witness transformation in Abhishek. He was question-less by the time he left. I witnessed perfect shanti in his eyes…

Here are some of Abhishek’s experiences in his words:

“….While I was reading “The Autobiography of a Yogi”, I had deep desire to have mystical experiences in the Himalayas. In Vashishtha cave, I sat on the rock next to Mohanji. I entered a deep state of meditation, where, I could see Mohanji’s many past lives, which he confirmed as true to me on the way back, to the Ashram. I could clearly see his many forms. Mohanji explained to me that Lahiri Mahashaya is not different from Babaji. And that Babaji will appear to us in the form we can understand, because the deathless Yogi is beyond mind & forms.

With every passing moment I discovered the depths of my own being. With each successive experience, my spirit ascended higher. I learned not to get caught up in the visions as well as visualizations, fascinating as they were, but to keep moving beyond them.I will never forget this journey with Mohanji. I hope I will be able to travel with him again. It is not easy, but it is not impossible.…..”

Dear Abhishek, thanks for being there, otherwise I would have never seen Mohanji in this consistent mode of elevating the consciousness of a seeker. Let me tell you ….Mohanji never speaks in vain. Mohanji’s words directly hit our shushumna (at the spine) and Kundalini – deep cleansing and transformation is then inevitable.

Keeping Pace with Mohanji

Graceful Shaivik walk across Ram Jhula

Next day, September 1st, 2010, was the day of Janmashtami and also death anniversary of Mohanji’s daughter Ammu. Every year, Mohanji reaches Shivananda Ghat on Janmashtami day to perform the rituals related to Ammu’s death anniversary. According to the custom, if the child died when it was below 5 years, there is no need to perform any rituals every year. When I asked Mohanji why he does it, he said ” I consider her as elder to me, because, soul-wise, she indeed was elder to me, and in physical plane, she left before me. Thirdly, I use this opportunity to offer prayers to all the ancestors of our Bharadwaja gothra (clan) who died in the past, and who are not remembered. ”

The rituals of death anniversary were to start at 11am at Shivananda Ghat. The time was 10.40am. Mohanji suddenly said, “Let’s go to Geeta Bhavan to buy a few dhotis (long cloth which is tied around the waist and offered to Brahmin priests as part of the ceremonial gift).” Geeta Bhavan was almost 2 kilometers away across Ganga (on the other side) and we had to cross Ram Jhula – all this in 20 min, as the priest was expected at exactly 11AM.

Shaivik Walk across Ram Jhula

He just started walking at full speed. He was walking straight back with long steps. Even at that speed, he had an unusually beautiful grace to his gait. We reached Geetha Bhavan, selected the garments, got it packed and paid, and we returned to this side of Ganga with the dhotis in only 16min!! It was a complete Shaivic walk. On any other circumstance, I would call this whole feat an impossibility!!! I was after him juggling between my bags and camera and trying to click photos and catch up with his speed. 🙂

What really surprised the medical doctor in me was that he was not at all tired or panting after this super fast walk, and most surprisingly, neither was I panting! My heart rate did not change much, which normally it should. I did not even feel that we walked so fast, shopped and came back! It was all in a daze or trance kind of situation. I was as normal as I could be and so was he. What a graceful walk. Were we walking on the earth or was it a walk in the 5th dimension, on a different plane of existence?!! I am really sure that this is impossible in normal conditions.

(To be continued….)

  1. How thrilling, Dr. Deepali! To share in this experience with you is a blessing for all. In this life I have never experienced that of which you write but in reading it I feel a great sense of “knowing.” In sounding out the unfamiliar words and phrases, there is a rhythm and flow that feels known to me … and carries me to another place and time. The happiness you, Abhishek, and now your son, Mohanish experienced is felt by all who read of this incredible journey with Mohanji. Thank you again for sharing, Connie

  2. Sri Ananda Durlabha

    Thanks Deepali. Your writing has a kind of flow which takes one to the situation live. While reading each word soaking very consciously, the whole scene became so alive in front of me. If one has deep faith and surrender, anything is possible with these Siddhas. This time in Thane during Eid holidays I experienced Mohanji physically alongside me in my room which He confirmed later to be true experience. He had to materialise Himself physically to do some processes on me. So all these mystical experiences that you are sharing so selflessly and vividly with all of us are real tangible though subtle. When continuous subtle mystical experiences happen around us and we are aware of them, they become solid like matter, real, tangible. What more can we all get in this path……Thank God!

  3. Dear Dr Deepali,
    To thank you in words for this wonderful sharing is all I can do right now… Having known Mohanji since Nov 2007, I have only seen his stature grow by leaps and bounds.. And to experience all of this you have surely earned it over lifetimes!!
    Every word of all the experiences you have shared fills me with energy and takes me into a tranquil zone…. That is how the power of purity works…
    I am so grateful to Providence, to Masters for showering such an abundance of love and grace in our lives..
    Many thanks again,
    Manjari.

  4. Pranams. Thank you so much divine sister for sharing this great post. Pranams at Mohan ji’s divine feet, the master. It reminds me of my frequent visits to Keshvananda’s Ashram, Yogiraj Sri Shyamacharan Lahiri Mahasaya ji’s Samadhi long ago. There used to be a ‘Panchvati’ there which has got a special importance in Tantra sadhana too and nearby from the backdoor you can go to the river Ganga, just a walking distance. I remember the caretaker Swami ji there used to give us Teen Mukhi Rudraksh as Prasad from the tree within the Ashram premises and as I used to go with my family, so we had collected a lot of Rudrakshs. There used to be a mysterious, ultimate great woman saint living in the Ashram, sitting with her would make you intoxicated, Rani Ma also know as Bengali Mayi and Tapaswini Mayi, who later shifted to Tapaswini Kunj near Shanti Kunj and I had the privilege to meet her and many years later received her message and invitation through a shishy of her, an IPS, posted in Delhi those days and I was surprised that she still remembered me though I just met her once with my family. She told me many things about Mahavatar Baba ji. There is a cave just underground, below the Shiva Linga Temple and it is a specially constructed old cave for sadhaks who want to do long meditations (for months : )) though not much people know about it and it has intense vibrations due to so many sadhaks have done sadhana there over the past so many years: ) Mohan ji is Shiva himself and the Adbhut pictures of Mohan ji are radiating intense vibrations as always. I’m feeling very happy for Dr. Deepali and Abhishek to have enjoyed the divine company of the great master Mohan ji, visiting a real Siddha pitha with a Siddha and enjoying the great blissful experiences.

    Dear Friends,
    For the benefit of all,I want to share FEW WORDS with you …from this LIFE TRANSFORMING TRIP…

    —————————————————————————————————————————–
    1.Complete Surrender to the Guru: When you reach this state,he will take care of you.
    The eyes of the heaven are always watching you,whether u,acknowledge it or not.

    Offer,ur food,thought,word ,action etc to the GURU

    2.Doership:
    Stop,being a doer & U will understand in ESSENCE that God/ Guru is the REAL doer.

    3.Love for Guru/God:
    An enlightened master is an embodiment of Shiva,nothing less,nothing more.U may not have seen God in real,but you have seen God in flesh in the form of the Guru.
    Always remember,Guru is not the BODY.,Guru is the SOUL..

    4.GENERATE GOOD KARMA:
    Selfless service,LEADS to higher states of consciousness.
    I asked MOHANJI,”U HAVE GIVEN ME everything that i wanted, I can NEVER PAY IT BACK ,how do I SERVE Ur lotus feet?”….. He SMILED softly an said “Serve the poor,feed the birds & animals”……

    5.Meditation not Escapism:
    Meditation should not be an escape from life.
    I personally see that happening in 90% of the cases.
    One should not meditate as an excuse for not working,or studying or avoiding his or her SPOUSE/PARENTS etc.

    6.Karma Yoga:
    Until & unless the Karma is completely exhausted ,by performing ones duty with perfection,enlightenment is virtually impossible..

    Just looking into Mohanji’s eyes & connecting to him mentally is the best way to communicate with him,since he is simultaneously connected in many planes(which might be difficult for most people to comprehend)
    DO NOT DOUBT,WHEN U LOOK INTO HIS EYES and pray.
    I have witnessed MIRACLEs ,at every step ,I walked with him.

    Friends,I’m left with no words to say anything anymore,what I can say is ,with this trip,I finally mark a milestone in my journey called LIFE..

    My deepest respect & love to Mohanji

    Regards,
    Abhishek

  6. Dear Dr. Deepali,

    Once again expressing my gratitude to you for sharing this awe inspiring journey with Mohanji….I have felt the tejas in His eyes and it has brought me great inner peace….my fateful meeting is a turning point in my life..this is my belief….the meeting happened when least expected…out of the blue…leaving an indellible mark in my very being…with the desire for more such encounters… quietly having lit that lamp of learning more, within my heart…commencing my journey on that wonderful path being slowly revealed to me at a pace pre-determined by Him…I am a willing entity to this wonderous experience..waiting on the threshold of a better morrow!

    Om Sai Ram!

  7. Excellent posts that help everyone. In fact, an ignorant person like me feels you have done the greatest benefit to us, by sharing your experiences. Sanskrit is a great language and if correct emphasis is placed on pronunciations, it can lead to constant state of elevation and tranquility. I wish I knew Sanskrit. And lastly, I think every Sanskrit hymn, mantra or shloka lays great emphasis on the description and attributes of deities and you can visualize the deities when reciting them.
