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 |  |
Your visualization power will increase in the measure in which your power of concentration grows. Avoid the distractions. Limit the time you give to the T.V.— say not more than half an hour. Practise silence.
There is a simple yogic practice called tratak. It will help you to improve your power of concentration and, consequently, your power of visualisation.
According to the law of karma, everything that happens to us is something we have done in the past returning to us.
There are many methods by which concentration level can be increased. One of them is concentrating on the breath when it is inhaled and breath when it is exhaled. Keep your concentration fixed at the point (of the nostril) at which the breath enters and the breath leaves.
Another simple method is what is called tratak. You can learn this from any teacher of yoga.
What is very important is that you should keep away from anything that distracts your attention. This includes the T.V. You must not watch the T.V. for more than a few minutes everyday.
Every time you think of your dear, departed daughter, do some little act of service in her name. This will make her happy on the Other Side and bless you on this side. Also try to explain to yourself each day that what God gives, He can take away at any time that He likes. Your dear daughter was God’s gift to you for 16 years. It pleased God to take her away after 16 years. If He had so desired, He could have taken her away earlier. So give gratitude to God: Lord, we feel grateful to you that you spared the child for 16 years. Who knows? God wished to give her a promotion and so He has called her away.
To discover yourself, you must live in fellowship with someone who has discovered himself. For want of a better word, we call him Guru.
