Indian Voice - April 2012 Indian Voice - March 2011 Email: editor@indianvoice.com.au l Website: www.indianvoice.com.au 33 Nine days of Divine Bliss Pt Dr Gopal R Thripathi, a qualified Ritvik, performing the Dashagriva Shiroharaya Yagna, in the presence of Swamini Gopeshwari Didi Ji MELBOURNE, APR 1. Melbourne residents were blessed on the occasion of Ram Navami to get an opportunity to receive nine days of spiritual nourishment in the association of Her Holiness Sushree Swamini Gopeshwari Devi Ji from Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat India. Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat Australia (JKPA), comprising of all young members, held a 9-day series of inspiring lectures at the Rentaul Hall in Burwood where the most revered guest speaker Swamini Gopeshwari Didi Ji talked on the philosophy propounded by the Holy Scripture ‘Ramayan’. Didi Ji emphasised heavily on the Uttar Kand of the Ramayan. Various Ram Leelas were performed daily by the devotees of JKPA depicting the philosophy from the Holy Ramayan. On the last day, a grand Yagna was also performed called the “Dashagriva Shirohaya Yagna”. These havan rituals in Dashagriva Shirohaya Yagna are intended to rid the aspirant of the ten bad qualities, which are represented by ten heads of Ravan as follows: Kama (Lust), Krodha (Anger), Moha (delusion), Lobha (Greed), Mada (Pride), Matsara (Jealousy), Mana (Mind), Buddhi (Intellect), Chitta (will) and Ahankar (Ego). Her Holiness Swamini Gopeshwari Devi Ji is the foremost preacher of the worlds most revered Saint, Anantavibushit 1008 Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj – only the 5th divine personality to be honoured with the title of Jagadguru (Spiritual Master of the world) in the last 5,000 years by Kashi Vidwat Parishat. Shri Maharaj Ji observed that people were misguided and totally ignorant of the actual essence of the scriptures, and the true form of devotional practice. To rectify this dismal spiritual state of mankind, in the year 1955, He organised a huge conference in Chitrakoot, which was attended by the most eminent scholars and Saints from Kashi, and various other parts of India. Another religious conference of a similar scale was organised by His Divine Grace in 1956 in Kanpur. It was during these conferences that His scriptural omniscience was revealed to the world, and even the most learned scholars of Kashi who attended the conference were baffled and lost in amazement. For the past 80 years Shri Maharaj Ji has been working tirelessly for the welfare of mankind. His Divine Grace has founded an organisation - Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat (JKP), to effectively carry out various spiritual, philanthropic and humanitarian activities in order to serve the general public. JKP has also established free Hospitals and a free Educational Institution to give the poor and underprivileged communities in rural parts of North India hope and opportunities for a bigger and brighter future. For further information refer to www.jkpeducation.org and www.jkphospital.org Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat Australia holds weekly satsang programme at their centre every Friday at Caroline Springs and a monthly satsang programme in the northern suburbs of Melbourne.
