SHRI ROOP CHAND JI M.S. "RAJAT"

TOUCH THE LOTUS FEET OF BAVJI & TAKE MANGLIK
On the touch stone of time there was born a sublime flame of light like golden flame of rays on the black granite stone-rocks. On the inscription of time, engraved words were like expression of immortality on perishable bodily truths. An immemorial, and eternal self-story was created. on that day the timely moments were taking bath from rainy drops showered from heavenly rains of the month of Savan -The Sharvan Nakshatra. The desert clouds were singing musical notes - thereby performing watery abhisheka in the dried riverbeds of thirsty desert land. the celestial song echoed on the tenth day of Shavan of moonlit nights. Before the advent of full moon of phase Poornima, the earthly moon had descended on that day.

CHILDHOOD
The prediction of astrologer horrified Bheru Puriji. His mental frame was disturbed visualizing the closed unknown gates of destiny being opened by an invisible hand. Every father nourishes a dream that he should remain alive in the form of his progeny. He desires children because he may remain alive in the shape of his descendants for the time to come. He may survive his relics in the form of his substitutes.

The life-story of Roop Puri was an unexplained mystery for him. It puzzled him because his son will not remain the plant of his courtyard but will enlarge into a huge banyan tree which cannot be constrained into a limited earthen vessel. The father wanted a rose plant which can blossom in his family garden. But how the universal bound smell can be kept enclosed into his limited arena?

The fatherly heart of Bheru Puri was not considering the prediction as a blessing to his family. His house was blessed with a solar - radiance that gives light to every direction. His desire was to have a lamp that illumines his own family precincts.

To convert ground into space the sun God Aditya had descended down into the lap? of mother Moti Bai. How should she confine her boundless ocean of live into her sentimental motherly lap. This endless ocean of love has limits from one bank to another end of infinity. How the vision can encompass it.

How can the chariot of light pass through the narrow path? Bheru Puriji and mother Moti Bai were besieged in the fortress of grief and sorrow. It was not easy for them to infiltrate this fortress.

The decent of Roop Puri was a blessing for total humanity but for the parents. They did not wish to erase their dream out of their vision. But the dreams can never be imprisoned in wishful thinking.

BHAVISYAWANI
The historical city of Nadole was rejoicing from the inborn pleasure of heavenly event-rainy showering of a spiritual blessing - the birth of a holy Atman the would be Guru of mankind.

The past was peeping from the horizon of present to the event of that sacred moment. The unborn of yesterday was singing songs of divinity. On the seven key notes of heavenly musical instrument the Veena of Goddess Sarasvati. The seven Colored rainbow. Shining on heavenly horizon was streaking eighth color on the shrinkled veil of virgin damsel - the Earth.

The revered and famous Goswami's Yogi family of Nadole Bheru Puri and his wife Moti Bai were blessed with a pious soul the advent of an yogic potential.

Bheru Puri was a born  Kshatriya. His father Devi Singh was a Chauhan - Thakur Devi Singh had an abundant prosperity all around his establishment. As he had no progeny, he felt a void in silent corners of his heart. He was a faithful follower Bhakra of Shaiva Saint Lal Puriji. Once he expressed his painful desire kneeling before the Lotus feet of his Guru.

Guru pleasingly blessed him assuring that he need not worry at all, as not only one, but five sons will play in his residential courtyard.

Guru told him - but you will have to entrust your youngest son to my ward. In the meanwhile Thakur Devi Singh Chauhan had five sons. On account of promises given to the Guru the youngest son Bheru Singh was offered to him. Guru Lal Puri trained him as a family - Yogi and named him - Bheru Puri. In the Kshatriya family of Bheru Puri his arrival was heralded.

On account of his arrivals the dark precincts were illuminated like Deepmalika. The whole atmosphere was engulfed in beauteous sublimity. His arrival erected summits of prosperity and abundance out of relics of wants and poverty. His advent inspired vacant pages of history filled with pride and fame conscious feelings that gave self respect.

This advent of sublime soul was recognized by the world as a messenger, prophet, renowned and respected and respected saint and pathfinder Guru. By naming him as Roop Chandraji Maharaj Sahib Rajat. The followers - Society offered flowers of faith devotion and respect. It was like the showering of sun rays appearing from horizon of Earth, the advent of non-hatred that enlightens the dark recesses of Anger and hatred. On that day the dimensions sang the victorious songs. When an Astrologer predicted the unknown fate of Roop Puri saying that this child will never be enchained by the enclosures of homely walls. His arms hold the strength to encompass all directions. His feet cannot be chained by the bonds of attachments. By the powerful bonds of heart and mind he will inspire the ignorant masses to eradicate the dark chambers that surround their existence. He will become the reliever of their bondages. He will be all round victorious. To remain enchained in any one direction will be impossible for him. He will not remain as an ordinary family lamp, but will emerge as a radiant sun. Not only family-precincts but the bodily bondages will be liberated by him to acquire the nectar of life.

SHAIVE DIKSHA
The time bird was swinging freely on the canvas of space. Its flight is tireless and labourless virgin travel. This timeless travel is a journey from old to new pattern atmosphere. The old decays and the new evolves. It becomes the food and nourishment diet of that time bird.

Soon the Roop Puri touched the hard rock of youthfulness. Being the son of a prosperous landlord the stately splendor of abundance was spread around him. But there was a forceful current of Himalayan rejection - Variragya - non attachment.

Thousands of current were following. Father thought that his son's mind should be diverted towards homely duties. He tried to entrust family assignments to him. But he was like a lotus leaf lying on a water bed. The drops of water were above and below dancing like pearls shining by radiant sun rays but his mental frame was least distracted by any attachment towards family duties. He used to perform every duty assigned to him but his nature was indifferent and unattached. Roop Puri thought that to remain inactive would adversely affect and disappoint the parents. Their hopes would be shattered. So to remain faithful to the parents desires he evolved a mental frame wherein he was active outwardly but was inwardly un-attached to every activity. He developed an attitude wherein he was an steadfast yogi.

During his non-attachment - travel he was in search of path-visionary. Internally he had a third, a silent desire for a search of capable Guru - a pathfinder, who can offer him a torch of knowledge. An aid, through the help of which, he can cross the ocean of life, he can go across the banks of infinity. One, who can lead him towards his destined goal. His thirst, his search, became intensive but he did not find asad Guru.

At an opportune moment there of appeared a saint by Atman on the entrance gate of Bheru Puriji's residence. Clad in tanned - red garments, the saint was having a fiery glow around his person. He was Mathadhish of Arneshwar temple Swami Shankar Bharti. He was family Guru of Bheru Puriji. He was family Guru of Bheru Puriji. He was Mahayogi of Saiva-Sect. Seeing this yogi. The heart of Roop Puri was dancing energetically. When his father asked him to bow before that great yogin Sanyasi, he said - The heart has already offered his silent Naman. The head is ready to offer his surrender. 

Family priest Shankar Bharti was touched internally by hearing this electrifying response. After preliminary introduction. Shankar Bharatiji developed confidence that the boy was suitable successor of his Gurupeeth. He asked Bheru Puriji to surrender his son to Mahadeva. He expressed that this flower was a suitable offer for the worship of God. He is born to serve his cause. Bheru Puriji was reminded of the prediction, the astrologer had expressed. The moment had come, when it was to become true. He could not avoid the desire of his Kul Guru.

Undetermined heart, he had to give his consent Roop Puri had an earnest desire for the search of higher of flights. He had an urge to get liberation from the prison bondage of attachments. He wished to fly freely on the wide frontiers of spirituality. He moved out along with his Guru.Arneshwar was a famous Shaivepeeth of Rajasthan. Riddhi, Siddhi and Samaddhi became Triveni of threefold prosperity. Roop Puri found there, spiritually and abundance. With the help and guidance of Guru Shankar Bhartiji he learnt yoga, pranayam and hathyoga.

GURUMILAN
One day Guru Shankar Bhartiji left hes worldly abode. Roop Puri's Himalayan heart was shaken. His powerful spiritual guide had gone beyond his reach. Roop Puri had remained like an unshaped statue. His creator left unfinished. The Shilpi had abandoned his arena. After the departure of Guru there were attempts to establish Roop Puri as a successor of Siddhpeeth Arneshwar. But he affirmed that he had come there for Sadhna. He wished to leave that place. Roop Puri returned to his family.

His mind's eye was eager in search of another capable and competent Guru, who could reshape his incomplete Sadhana into perfection.And one day, incidentally one Saint appeared in a nearby town Sadari. The fragrance of his arrival was felt in Nadole city also. The citizens of Nadole rushed toward Sadari for his Darshan.

The inner consciousness of Roop Puri also impelled him to move there. His inner personality was bathing illuminated hallow of sublime light. A strange feeling was passing through his mental recesses attracted by an unknown mystical bond he also reached Sadari.

While reaching upashraya, his twin eyes visualized Guru Charan and mentally touching them, the streams of faith flowed out. Curiosity unified. The flow of imaginary ideas came to a standstill pause. By the very image of vision he entered into blissful Samadhi. The mental flow of thoughtful process was stopped. In the bodily nerves the fountains of light began to dance. The magnetic power of the charming personality of Gurudeva's halo offered solutions to all his agitating questions.

The crowd raised sky-resounding slogans Gurudeva Motilal Maharaj ki Jai. While hearing the name of Maharaj Moti Lal ji - Roop Puri's ears were attuned. The blocked rims of his hearing instrument were surcharged. The closed doors of his ears had an energetic vibration. There was an Anahat - flow. His forgotten memories were awakened. He had heard the name of Guru Shree. He was spiritual summit of that time. In this inner-self spiritual-light had spread. Roop Puri realized some unknown enlightenment of spirituality. He felt that he had reached the point of his destined path.

All of a sudden the vision of Guru fell on his person. He saw a flash of fire in his eyes. What his divine vision saw in the eyes of this youth cannot be visualized by an ordinary person. The Guru felt that a capable person had come in his area of influence. The footsteps not only travel in the search of a destination but the destiny also moves out in search of those footsteps, which adore the payal to enhance the journey.

JAIN DIKSHA
To test his resolve on the touchstone of testimony, the Guru- asked him vairagya is a thorny path of pain and suffering. It is an Epitah of those travelers who select their path of termination willingly. It is a silent test of their determination. The inscription of suffering would you be able to read it? He asked.

Will you be able to read it ? The question was placed before him.Without hesitating for a moment Roop Puri consented. In coral heart of his shell-Guruji had settled as a shining pearl. Then began an endless journey of two steps from attachment to non-attachment.

This journey had targeted one point of destination when peace-hearted respectable Gurudeva Motilalji Maharaj performed on Roop Muni Diksha ceremony. On Magh Shukla Trayodashi of V.S. 1999, in Jodhpur city, out of Shri Roop Puri - a new saint by personality of Muni Roop Chandra Rajat was born on being ceremonised in Shraman tradition the young muni's heart was filled and agitated by disturbing questions unlimited frontiers of curiosity directed his search towards acquisition of knowledge the gates of agamas were opened.
