'Ha Khel Praktanacha ki Purvasanchitacha'
H.H. Jitendranath Maharaj (Peethadhish, Shri Nathpeeth, Shri Devnath Math, Anjangaon Surji) has conducted a profound review of the book 'Ha Khel Praktanacha ki Purvasanchitacha' authored by Narendranath Maharaj Chaudhary. His insights regarding this book, which illuminates the path to human welfare, are as follows:
1. Dedication to Human Welfare and Social Upliftment
According to Maharaj, the core focus of this book is 'the well-being of the human soul and life.' The intense desire for social upliftment and the Narendranath Maharaj's concern for the common man are deeply evident in every explanation provided in the text.
2. Key Subjects Explored in the Book
This book is not merely a spiritual discussion but sheds light on several profound subjects related to human existence:
- The Power and Grace of the Guru: The paramount importance of a Guru in a seeker's life.
- The Cosmic Connection: The relationship between the individual soul (Jiva) and the Universe (Brahmanda).
- Remedying Afflictions: Effective treatments for physical and mental ailments through the science of Mantras, Tantras, and Shastras.
3. The Journey of the Soul: From Ego to Liberation
Referencing the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita (15/8), Maharaj explained that just as the wind carries fragrance from flowers, the soul carries the mind and five senses when leaving the old body to enter a new one. This gives rise to 'Dehahankar' (body-ego), which initiates the worldly cycle of the soul.
4. The Creation of Destiny (Praktan) and Past Accumulations (Purvasanchit)
A person's 'Purvasanchit' depends on the desires and karmic patterns of their previous lives. However, Maharaj reassures that the bonds of these past karmas can be weakened through spiritual discourse (Shastracharcha), atonement (Prayashchitta), and appropriate Tantric remedies.
5. Material vs. Spiritual Happiness
There are two types of happiness in this world:
- Material Happiness (Aihik Sukh): Physical pleasures obtained through Mantras, Tantras, and specific worships, which keep the soul tied to its destiny.
- Spiritual Bliss (Atmik Anand): When a soul surrenders to a Guru, it becomes free from the complexities of past accumulations and experiences true eternal bliss.
6. The Path to Salvation (Moksha) and Guru's Grace
Drawing from the teachings of Shri Dnyaneshwari, Jitendranath Maharaj states that just as the water of the Ganges becomes one with the ocean upon meeting it, a human becomes free from the cycle of birth and death through the pure knowledge obtained by the Guru's grace, attaining the 'Avyaypada' (the Eternal State).
“Just as a soiled mirror shows a clear reflection once cleaned, this book possesses the power to clear the clouds of past karmas from human life and provide a new direction.” — H.H. Jitendranath Maharaj
