(( Oneness of BAPA Pramukh Swami and Mahant Swami ))
Just thought of sharing the prasang — Incident in written with you.
Here’s my personal prasang — By Ketul Chauhan
Oneness of BAPA and Mahant Swami !
I was struggling to complete my book “Die Happy” since several Months in December 2015. Though I started writing it 3 years back in February 2013.
I was not getting the push until I get to meet Arun Tiwari Sir (The Author of Wings of Fire, Transcendence and many other book with APJ Abdul Kalam sir) on 26th December 2015.
I discussed the book with him and after hearing about the subject and my wish to launch the book soon, he suggested me that “Launch it on Vasant Panchami, 12th February 2016 by giving it in hands of BAPA. (Vasant Panchami is very auspicious day as it’s the Birthday Tithi of Shahstriji Maharaj and Shikshapatri too was inaugurated on the same day by Swaminarayan Bhagwan). I was very happy that first time I got a date to launch my project. I knew it was tough to complete, as days remaining were very few and the work was too much. Though by considering that BAPA’s wish (My Guru Pramukh Swami Maharaj’s wish) I started to work hard and more to complete the book a week before 12th February 2016.
With all work accomplished and getting hard copy in my hand, I reached Sarangpur (afer meeting Pujya Purshotam Priya Swami and Pujya Aksharvatsal Swami in Ahmebdad) with the book for the launch on 12th February in presence of BAPA. I was very excited and much delighted as I was about to give back something to my guru in my life that I learned from him — with the only wish to please him and pass his message to all.
On the 12th evening, my book was launched by the hands of BAPA.
It gave me the feeling of being content and as if my book is in the hands of the one for whom I have written. I felt as if BAPA accepted my bhakti from his own hands. Here are the pics and link to the youtube video of 12th February 2016. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...)
There was no limit to my Joy!! I was like done..
But somewhere in the back to my mind I knew that usually when BAPA was very fit, he would bless the writer personally, give flowers and bless with a rosary (mala) and write the blessing in the book. I knew its all not possible now as keeping bapas health constraints in mind. When he just holds the book in his hand — was more than anything for me. That’s all what I needed in life.
I went back to the room and somewhere the thought that BAPA would have blessed personally was just somewhere in very corner of my mind. It was not at all a priority, as I felt content by the event.
Once I reached the room, my Mom suggested that let’s go to Gondal tomorrow, its been a while since we visited Gondal mandir and wants to have darshan of Ghanshyam maharaj.
We all wake up early on 13th February 2016 and reached Gondal at sharp 12 PM. We rushed to the darshan of Ghanshyam Maharaj as if the darshan might have been closed. But darshan was open and I had few quick pradakshina at Akshar deri and then bowed down to Ghanshyam Maharaj after quickly coming for the darshan. Now the Prasang starts…
Suddenly one unknown devotee came to me and asked if I would like to meet Mahant Swami!! I was surprised and asked him why?
He said, by looking at you I just felt that as if you wanted to meet Pujya Mahant Swami. I asked who are you?
He said I am a doctor in the Mahant swami’s team.
I asked again as “are you sure you would take me in?”
He said “Off course, please come now!”
I was overjoyed and said yes, I would like to meet and it would be a great thing as yesterday bapa inaugurated my book and now will be blessed to get the ashirwad from Pujya Mahant Swami.
I quickly got my book and went to meet Mahant Swami. Somehow, I got the feeling that Mahant swami was waiting for me. As me and my friend Dhaval (The graphic designer of the book) went inside the meeting room. Mahant swami’s hand were towards me and as if give me the book in hand. I was surprised that how he know that am coming with the book! I handed the book in Mahant swamis hand and started explaining the book. Somehow, one guy in the room was taking pics and one was taking a video; everything was set to be!!
I will share the link to the video and one photo is here:

To my surprise, Mahant swami turned all the pages of the book, he read the quick pages of the book and wrote the blessings in the book. He gave me BAPA’s prasadi Mala and a rose flower. He asked more about my book and I took blessing for writing many such books which prevails the message of BAPA, peace and happiness. He blessed as if BAPA would have blessed!
I was overjoyed and came out. As soon as I was out, tears rolled out of my eyes and felt that yes, bapa wanted to bless me as like this and so only he sent me to Gondal. I had no plans to go Gondal the other day neither I knew that Mahant swami was there.
Now I realize the oneness of the Gunatit Purush. Both are indeed one and BAPA is still present in Mahant Swami. This incident was exactly 6 months before BAPA left to Akshardham on 13th August 2016. The other day, I could re-collect the prasang and thought of sharing with you all.
