The spiritual head of Sadhu Vaswani Mission in Pune, Dada J P Vaswani was born on August 2, 1918, at Hyderabad-Sind. Being a brilliant student, he was given a number of double promotions and thus passed the the B.S. examination when just seventeen. A masters degree and fellowship at a leading college followed and Dada seemed poised at the threshold of a brilliant academic or civil services career. It was at this stage that he gave it all up and decided to follow his uncle and guru, Sadhu T.L. Vaswani, a mystic and philosopher on the spiritual path. Reaching out to people with a message of spirituality became his life mission. As editor of Excelsior magazine, he was initially met with opposition as not everyone related to the spiritual dimension. Still, he took it upon himself to write, proof read, print, get advertisements, package and post the magazine all by himself. The publications popularity grew to the extent that it surpassed the circulation of the leading daily newspaper, The Sind Observer. Ask Dada J P Vaswani |  |
Anger is your karma which you have brought with yourself. You can not fight your karma unaided. You need the help of higher powers which for want of a better word, we call God. God has two aspects— the father aspect and the mother aspect. You get quick results when you appeal to God in the mother aspect. You can pray: “Mother, I have tried to control anger but every time I have failed. It is only when your wisdom and your love, your strength and your patience flow into me that in your wisdom and love, in your strength and patience, I will be able to be victorious over anger. But the victory is not mine: it is Thine, Jai Jai Jai Jagdamba! Jai Jai Jai Jagdamba!”
You should pray for him— pray to God that, in His mercy, the Lord may give peace to your father’s heart. He is in the evening of his life. May his heart be touched with the peace that passeth, surpasseth understanding.
It may mean nothing. But if the vision is repeated it may have to say something to you for your spiritual evolution.
Nothing, no one belongs to us. Everything, everyone is given to us for use. If we understand this, we shall not get attached to others and feel the pangs of pain when we are separated from them. You have had only one brother during this birth. But in endless adventure of existence, you may have had thousands and thousands of brothers. Where are they now? Reflect on this! Meditate on this!
I have never said that you should forgive seven times seven. All I did was to quote the words of Blessed Jesus, “Forgive seventy times seven”. In Arjuna’s case, he was advised by Sri Krishna not to have the spirit of vengeance against the Kauravas, even though they did not even once ask for forgiveness. Sri Krishna went so far as to go to the court of the Kauravas as a Shanti-doot (Messenger of Peace), but did not succeed in His mission. Sri Krishna tried his best to avoid the conflict and when he found that the Kauravas were determined not to listen to the voice of wisdom, but to continue to revel in the darkness of egoism, he permitted Arjuna and the Pandavas to fight for their rights. There is such a thing called Dharma-Yudha (War of Righteousness). Not to fight a Dharma-Yudha is to co-operate with dark forces of unrighteousness which, Sri Krishna thought, should not be permitted.
