Param Pujya Swami Jee Maharaj is the Torchbearer of yog era

Whenever any eternal power, divine alchemy, miraculous tree, etc used to appear in an episode while listening to stories in childhood, our mind would say that had everybody got such divine power, he wouldn’t have got disappointed. Happiness would have enveloped the world. I used to think that no matter whether everybody gets parasmani stones or not, but at the same time he gets such things which bring something precious in his life. Either somebody is suffering from disease or somebody else is on the verge of death like Lakshaman, then no matter he gets sanjivani buti by Hanuman as suggested by Vaidya Sushen. But at the same time, he must get any alchemy or medicine which can lessen his pain. No matter whether out of 14 jewels extracted from sea churning, anyone becomes a kalp tree or not. No matter if someone fulfils his desire sitting under its shadow. But at the same time, its shadow must provide energy, inspiration, encouragement, etc for him. Our all the religious scriptures and books like Ramayana and Mahabharata describe such stories which mention about divine and unique things like paras mani, sanjivani buti, nag mani, som ras and kalp tree. No matter whether we believe in such things or not in an era of science because its authenticity is yet to be proved. Meanwhile, on the basis of 15 years of experience, I would like to say that if someone finds authentic teacher, he/she attains everything automatically.

Today, not only I but lakhs and crores of people are fortunate enough that we have found such a teacher as Param Pujya Swami Jee Maharaj whose mere presence has provided everything in our life, something precious than paras mani, sanjivani buti and kalp tree. Today, as a teacher Param Pujya Swami Jee Maharaj is more precious than paras mani. Because, paras mani touches those iron which turns into gold but that gold contains no quality of paras mani. Whosoever has received blessings of Shradheya Swami Jee Maharaj has received divinity. They got refined. Lakhs of yog teachers are the live examples of it. In an era of science, Shradheya Guruvar has proved that it’s yog which can fulfil everything. Yog not only keeps you healthy but also makes you aware of unique qualities of enormous divine stones, trees, herbs, etc. Shradheya Swami Jee recognized this infinite power of yog and made people aware of it as an authentic teacher. Entire world celebrated the Seventh International Yog Day on June 21 but did we know how did we know this yog which is so popular in the entire country. in fact, it’s the divine Indian tradition and the medium used in it which is called teacher. No matter today science has developed and we get information through mobile, internet and artificial intelligence. But it's the teacher who provided the alchemy of yog. That’s why, it is known as India’s unique teacher-disciple tradition through which people have been acquiring knowledge about yog science for thousands of years. In fact, when we talk about any tradition, then we should understand that there is a need for a concrete medium to provide this tradition to the next generation. So that this tradition can remain move ahead uninterruptedly. In other words, this strong teacher-disciple tradition of providing knowledge in India changed into a concrete medium. Today, we are fortunate enough that we are associated with that medium which visits this planet after centuries. However, Lord Shiva himself is the main founder of yog, that’s why he is known as a yogi instead of deity in yogic culture. But since then, had many teachers not been contributed to maintain yog tradition in India, this great alchemy would have been disappeared from the world. However, world’s first book Ringved mentions about yogic processes, but at the same time, it won’t be hyperbole to say that Pujya Swami Ramdev Jee Maharaj’s great effort in reestablishing yog makes him as great as Lord Shiva, Rishi Vashishth, Lord Shrikrishna, Lord Mahavira, Lord Gautama the Buddha, Maharshi Patanjali, Adi Shankaracharya, Matsyendra Nath, Guru Gorakshnath, Raman Maharshi, Ramkrishna Paramhans, Swami Vivekanand, Shri Arvindo, Maharshi Mahesh Yogi, Swami Satyendra Saraswati, etc.  

This divine work was started at Ali Saidpur village of Mahendragarh district in Haryana. Around 56 years ago, when Gulab Devi and Shri Ramnivas gave birth to a highly talented baby boy who was named Ramkrishna. Probably, he would have been unaware that one day this boy will bring back the country's lost glory. In line with Rama and Krishna, his childhood was also challenging. Nobody knew that his struggle would turn him so great in the world. After acquiring elementary education at a government school of a nearby village, he joined a gurukul to study Sanskrit and Yog. That time nobody knew that reestablishment of yog in the world was being started at this small village. Such great commitment requires major sacrifice and patience. Because history was going to be rescripted and the entire world was going to witness it. Nobody except Swami Jee would have imagined that. That’s why he has been saying that there can’t be an alternative whether commitment is great or small. With great devotion, he decided to initiate into sanyas in his young age and Ramkrishna turned into Swami Ramdev. In his childhood, he used to wear slippers made of tyre. But while accomplishing his duty, he neither felt tired nor allowed anybody to be tired. Decision of initiating into sanyas was tough in that age when mind is filled with thousands of desires. Sanyas also means dying for living. The decision was tough and challenging. Process of initiating into sanyas is quite complicated. The sanyasi has to abide by many rules and regulations. Besides, it is a highly difficult moment of life. Because, the person goes to the river bank holding dand-kamal in his hands and wearing janeu. He performs pindadan of all the relatives, family members, etc. It means that nobody is alive for him. In the last ritual of pindadan, he performs the process for himself. It means he himself is not alive for his family members. Sanyas holds significance in Sanatan religion. It has been placed at 15th position among refinements required for life. Meanwhile, a new chapter was added to the golden history of spiritual India on the auspicious occasion of Ramanavami. People started to do yog everywhere in India. Such yogic countries where yam, niyam, aasan, pranayam, pratyahara, perception, meditation and samadhi had to be made available to the people with new styles. New experiments had to be conducted on yog in India and a healthy body had to be the first criteria of yogi.

Real meaning of sanyas is surrendering oneself for goldy works while working hard. Giving respect to godly creation and his works wholeheartedly, a sanyasi surrenders himself to the service, conservation and wellbeing of the world. He enjoys affection from all the people by doing so. After taking sanyas, Swami Jee started to lead sanyasi life and journey of public life. Initially, he started his movement with yog and later added ayurved in it. Then people started joining this divine campaign. Slowly, Swami Jee became famous as the torchbearer of Indian renaissance. He became popular in India and abroad. With the appearance of sun rays, people used to understand yog minutely. The journey of yog faced many obstacles. However, a sailor of a boat in the peaceful sea can’t become great. Those who have to touch the sky have to face obstacles in their life. Facing difficulties and obstacles, foundation stone of Divya Yog Mandir Trust and Patanjali Yogapeeth was laid. They proved to be milestones of this yog journey. Since then, Pujya Swami Jee Maharaj along with Shradheya Acharyashri has been trying hard with great devotion for people’s wellbeing, good health, quality education, balanced diet, nontoxic farming and better lifestyle. However, the common people started to abide by their directions with respect and devotion spontaneously. Let’s think about what will happen if we sow a seed in the soil and we get a single seed in return. But at the same time, nature has made such an arrangement that we sow one seed and get thousands of seeds in return. It needs proper farming and attention. Swami Jee adopted his rule of nature and groomed thousands of yog teachers at Kankhal of Haridwar. In the beginning, it was a routine activity for many people to watch the yog programme of Swami Jee at 5 am on Astha channel. But slowly, more people started to watch this programme and every word of Swami Jee became order and direction. Earlier, yog was confined to caves of Himalayas and houses of elite class. Accidently, thousands and lakhs of yog teachers started to leave their houses to teach yog to the people. Slowly, the people started practising yog at streets, parks, schools, rooms, etc. They got relief from respiratory diseases. They also got rid of such diseases upon which they had spent lakhs or rupees for years.
Getting benefit from respiratory diseases reminded people or episodes of the kalp tree under its shadow they used to fulfil their desires. Swami Vivekanand had said that the future of human beings is based on their scientific and spiritual approach. It means that science has to learn from human values from religion, while religion also needs scientific experiments. Swami Jee adopted this experiment of the scientific system in the field of religion and encouraged the people to do so. Then breathing properly became the medicine to get rid of respiratory diseases. Getting relief from respiratory diseases through yog was certainly a miracle. They also got relief from hereditary diseases through yog. Everything was not less than a unique, unimaginable and divine dream. There is a similar story of my association with Swami Jee in 2005 when a doctor advised me to consume medicines for my whole life after going through my thyroid report. In the beginning, I consumed medicines for six-seven months. Since then I have been doing yog. I turned gold by coming into contact with yog mani. Therefore, I try to encourage others to do so. Parents gave birth, the god gifted breathing and it’s my revered teacher who taught me how to breathe properly. I got infatuated with yog and ultimately resigned from the job and started providing service for the people. Similar is the story of lakhs of other people. The Divine speech of Swami Jee provided energy for people. Consequently, yog teachers used to leave their houses to teach yog at 5 am to the people free of cost at village, subdivision and district level in the entire country. The people used to term it as kaliyug. But at the same time, Swami Jee worked hard to initiate a new era in India. It will be known as the yog era in history. The people will remember Param Pujya Swami Jee Maharaj as torchbearer of this yog era. Slowly, yog started to set up new dimensions in the entire world. Some people started to see it as a market. Neither Swami Jee nor his yog warriors did business in the name of yog. It was quite difficult to set up a new era. Therefore, Swami Jee sought donations from the people. But a donation taken by a sanyasi is that if a bee sucks juice from a flower, it has an impact on its juice, smell, etc. It’s worth mentioning that when honey gets prepared, it is used by others. Swami Jee conducted many experiments on yog. Indigenous products, indigenous treatment, indigenous garments, nontoxic farming and corruption free India. All these experiments were not simple. It was nothing but a firm commitment of a patriotic sanyasi to bring back the country's lost glory. Therefore, Swami Jee made the people aware that yog exercise aimed at boosting internal powers and divine duties of the human being psychologically that their life could be filled with divinity. Working for 18-20 hours daily, he proved that everybody has to do hard work to get the desired result. The god draws a line upon which we have to fill colour.
If divinity and success of Patanjali under divine direction of Param Pujya Swami Jee and Shradheya Acharyashri gives pain to some people, it’s not new. Such incidents have been happening in every era. Maryada Purushottam Ram and Yogeshwar Shrikrishna also had to face obstacles in the treta and the dwapar era respectively. Therefore, it’s not uncommon for Swami Ramdev to face obstacles. The people need to have an aesthetic approach to understand this divine journey of people’s wellbeing. Goswami Tulsidas Jee has written that jai rahi bhavana jaisi, prabhu murat dekhi tin jaisi. It means that the people see whatever they want to. Therefore, some people see yog teacher and spiritual teacher in Swami Jee, while others find business teacher and political advisor. These are their own intentions. Today, Shradheya Swami Jee is not a personality but an expression of the entire nation and all of us are fortunate enough that we are witnesses of this yog era.
