ISBN–978-81-938952-4-5 SURESH PRABHU MINISTER OF RAILWAYS GOVERNMENT OF INDIA NEW DELHI “In a world where humanity plays Sutras invoke fresh perspectives and provide a barometer to gauge one’s best thing about such books which constantly churn the mind is that they insight from the Hingori Sutras that I try to imbibe in my everyday life is to that in service to others lies my evolution as a human being.” (Suresh Prabhu) GURUDEV The Spiritual Icon The subject of this book is Guruism. Many of the concepts are based on the philosophy and teachings of Gurudev. His story is unique in the annals of history and such a human torch has not yet been recorded even in the scriptures. Gurudev was brought up amidst humble surroundings in the village of Hariana, near Hoshiarpur, Punjab. Since childhood he showed a keenness for worship, often lighting diyas (oil-lamps) at dargahs, in and around his village. Gurudev was often found meditating near his home at the temple of Sitladevi (a feminine deity). The temple served as a meeting place for him and one of his spiritual advisors, Sitaramji of Dasua, who taught him various siddhis (spiritual accomplishments). On graduating from high school, Gurudev moved to Delhi and took up odd jobs, including selling toffees and pens. Few years later, he joined the soil survey department in the Ministry of Agriculture. He shared a 12-square-metre room with two of his friends and the small room became their residence until his marriage. All through life, his spiritual pursuits continued, unabated, through which he gained certain powers and siddhis. He was then asked by his spiritual mentor, Buddhe Baba, to discharge all eight siddhis he had acquired, at Har Ki Pauri, on the banks of the Ganges in Haridwar, Uttarakhand. Gurudev did so and walked out of the river bereft of all the power he had earned over the years. Ironically, the loss of these siddhis spelt his manifestation as the Mahaguru (accomplished guru). Furthermore, he was instructed to help and heal people, inspiring them towards spiritual pursuit. He was also entrusted with the unfinished task of reconnecting with his disciples, who had taken birth to be a part of his spiritual journey, and help them evolve to greater spiritual heights. For about 15 years, Gurudev, the Mahaguru, had the odds stacked against him. The angle of difficulty with which he lived his life was certainly acute. He did not take favours and obligations, including consuming salt or cereal paid for by anyone. He sustained himself with the salary he earned from a low-paying government job. He ran a sthan (centre for help and healing) from his home, and simultaneously opened many others in the homes of his disciples. Despite being spiritually advanced, he maintained a low profile and never commercialised his activities. His 'saint-manufacturing factory' worked overtime remoulding ordinary men into spiritual giants. Gurudev initiated hundreds of disciples and bestowed upon them the power to heal, and the ability to pass it on further. Dedicated to, and obsessed with what this great guru taught, we stumbled and fumbled, but carried on the banner of his tutelage. His conversations were hard-hitting, even though laced with humour. He used wit to train and mould us. We would laugh at each other's expense, though it did get uncomfortable when the darts were aimed at one of us. In this demolition lay the construction of who we became! We learnt the art of training others through wit and wisdom. I consider myself extremely blessed to be a part of Gurudev's story. Reading about him and understanding his philosophy can connect you to your inner self and put you on the ladder of self-evolution. Gurudev is the inspiration for this book. The Mahaguru extraordinaire! OM The Author Hingori is a teacher of spiritualism who started around 40 years ago as a student of Gurudev–a spiritual master who had tapped into the unlimited potential of his spirit mind, could travel out-of-body at will, heal people, read thoughts, predict future events and help humans, spirits and other life forms. Hingori's books chronicle his personal journey of transformation and are filled with real-life experiences and spiritual insights. Living like the guy next door, engaged in his duties as a businessman and householder, he is an example of how spiritual progress is achievable by every common person. He cannot see a greater mission for himself than being available to help those who want to evolve. Born and brought up in Mumbai, Hingori works in the service industry, travelling frequently across various parts of the country. His interests lie in sharing his spiritual knowledge with those who have the desire to acquire it. He believes in simplicity being the underlying tone of spirituality. He shies away from self-glorification since he believes it is more detrimental than beneficial to the efforts of any spiritualist, whose prime focus is sharing spiritual realisations. Therefore, he has taken the selfish route of staying anonymous. Besides, as he says, "My thermometer shows that the climate under the pedestal is cooler than under the limelight." Author's Note An Ode To Femininity Gurudev made us pay serious attention to the significance of the feminine gender, as he believed that women are manifestations of Shakti (feminine principle of energy). Without Shakti, spiritual evolution is incomplete. In fact, during a certain period of the year, we are to mentally touch our wives' or partners' feet and accord them a place of seniority. Guru Nanak Dev, Gurudev, Ramakrishna, Ram, Krishna and each of us, draw our strength from Shakti. Many disciples who were given seva at our sthan, owed this to their spiritually advanced wives. Gurudev mentioned that the left side of the body is the side of Shakti and the manifestation of the trishul on the left palm is handier in spiritual service than the manifestation of Om on the right palm. Sankhya philosophy, which is considered very sound in principles, believes in the concept of purush and prakriti. The former being the passive observer, and the latter, the dynamic energy which leads to the existence of all things and all forms of movement, the active principle. Therefore, all action, physical or mental, is a part of prakriti or femininity. Even other forms of ancient Indian scriptures dwell on the concept of Shiv and Shakti. Interestingly, the left side of Shiv is also the manifestation of Shakti and this has led to my belief that god is power and power is femininity! He who knows not and knows not that he knows not; he is a fool. Shun him. He who knows not and knows that he knows not; he is teachable. Teach him. He who knows and knows not that he knows; he is asleep. Wake him. He who knows and knows that he knows; he is wise. Follow him. –Arabian Proverb
