Dada J P Vaswani
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 |  |
Question 41. If any student fails in examination it feels as if it is the end of his life. How do we deal with this? - Abhey Shetti
A friend of mine failed the matriculation examination of the University of Bombay. He was a brilliant student – he expected to get a first class. He wept: he shed tears. For three days he did not eat – he did not take bath. After three days we asked him, “You have suffered so much has it made any difference to the result?” “No,” he answered, “how can the result change?” “Then why don’t you utilize your energy in preparing for the next examination so that, if it be God’s will, you may get the first rank among all the successful candidates.” I quote this example to those who are disconsolate after getting the adverse news.
Question 42. My mind is obsessed with a boy‚ who doesn’t like to talk to me. Even though I know that our frequency doesn’t match I am not able to get him out of my mind. Recently I came to know that he likes somebody else and he flirts with many other girls.I felt very bad about this. Kindly tell me how I give some peace to my mind. Thanks - Sarita
Give gratitude to God that he has kept you away from a Casanova (flirt) and go out and serve some handicapped children. In serving them you will forget your personal sorrow.
Question 43. I am a proud father of a 5 month old child. I want help to improve my child’s brain sharpness and also I want to train him to use both left side and right side efficiently. Also I want to seed the taught of serving humanity. - Nagaprasanna Nagarajan On 7 April 2009
You will be advised to make a study of the Japanese practice Sichida. It may help the child to develop both sides of the brain. In addition you can teach him to share the good things of life with those in need. As he grows up you will be his hero. And he will wish to follow in your footsteps.. Children learn more by example than by precept.
Question 44. My wife had donated a kidney for my survivals six yrs back.I AM 55 now.I am in a spiritual path and leading a meaningful life. But my wife's demand is materialiastic.What shall I do? To cooperate or not? - Pradeep Das
Pray for your wife and be gentle and loving towards her. Your life is a gift to you from her. Therefore, you must work out a balance between expressing gratitude to her and putting forth your best efforts to live the life of the Spirit.
Question 45. I find life very monotonous and repetitive‚ due to which I am unable to live my life enthusiastically. How to get some exciting purpose for which I should get up every morning? - Vineet Rai
Enthusiasm flows naturally out of love. If only you can love God and do everything for his sake, your aspiration will be amply fulfilled.
