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 |  |
I strongly believe that Christ and Buddha and other great religious leaders lived on earth and bore witness in deeds of daily living to the great ideals which they preached. I myself had the privilege of living close to one such great personality— Sadhu Vaswani. I spent 27 years in his close company. In him, there was a complete integration of thought, word and deed. He spoke as he thought. He acted as he spoke. He bore witness to the fact that we should not merely talk about religion but we should practise, in deeds of daily living, the precepts which we preach.
Beloved Brother, we need to be aware of every thought we think, every word we utter and every act we perform. This is the role that I try to follow: before speaking I ask myself, if what I am going to speak is better than silence. If I get a answer in the affirmative, I utter those words, otherwise I keep silent.
We are afraid of death— our own or that of our dear ones— because we have not understood death. Death is a natural phenomenon. What begins must have an end. What is born will one day die.
Everyday, if you sit in silence for 10 minutes and try to understand death, all fear of death will vanish as mist before the morning sun. Death is only an illusion. Death is very much like sunset. The sun only appears to set. For what is sunset here is sunrise elsewhere. The sun never sets. Likewise, we do not die. While our dear ones are celebrating our death anniversaries here, in the astral world, they will be wishing us many happy returns of our birthday. Death is the greatest illusion from which so many of us suffer.
I can send you a copy of the book entitled, “Life After Death” which throws more light on the subject— if only you will send me your address. My address is: J.P. Vaswani, 10, Sadhu Vaswani Path, Pune – 411 001.
Kindly don’t touch kundilini until you come in contact with a Great Master under whose supervision you can perform the sadhana for Kundilini Jaagran. Books will mislead you. Listening to speeches will lead you astray. For the awakening of kundilini, the very first essential requisite is to do your sadhana under the direct supervision of a Great Master.
A stage comes in the life of the seeker when all duties fall off by themselves and the seeker is ready to enter into a life of sanyas. Until then, you must keep on doing your sadhana and building your life in the Will of God and doing as much good to as many as you can. And may God be with you.
