Asaram – Wikipedia

Posted: March 30, 2019 at 9:46 am


Asumal Sirumalani Harpalani, known as Asaram Bapu by his followers, is a religious leader (Godman) in India.[2] Starting to come in the limelight in the early 1970s, he gradually established over 400 ashrams in India and abroad and was popular among politicians and common people for his religious discourses (pravachan).[1] In April 2018, Asaram was found guilty of rape of a minor girl and is currently serving life imprisonment for the sexual assault in Jodhpur.[3][4][5]

He was mentioned in a list of fake sadhus released by Akhil Bharatiya Akhara Parishad, the apex organisation of Hindu Sants (saints) and Sadhus (ascetics) in India.[6]

Asaram was born on 17 April 1941, in the Berani village of the Nawabshah District in British India (Present-day Berani Town is located in Jam Nawaz Ali Tehsil of Sanghar district Sindh Pakistan), to Menhgiba and Thaumal Sirumalani.[7] His birthname was Asumal Thaumal Harpalani[8][9] or Asumal Sirumalani.[10][11]

Following the partition of India in 1947, he and his family moved to Ahmedabad, then part of the former Bombay State in India, now Gujarat, leaving behind their immovable assets in Sindh. The family moved to Ahmedabad, where Asaram's father founded a coal and wood selling business.[1] Asaram ran this business for a short time after his father's death.[12]

According to Sant Asaram Bapuji ki Jeevan Jhanki, an autobiography published by his ashram, Asaram received his formal education at Jai Hind High School, up-till class III, when his father died. He had a series of escapades to ashrams which started with running away to an ashram in Bharuch at the age of 15, eight days before his scheduled wedding to Laxmi Devi, which though finally happened.[11] The book also mentions Lilashah as the spiritual guru, who accepted him as her disciple and named him Asaram on 7 October 1964, in one of his escapades.[11]

Sources have described him to be involved in a variety of professions ranging from selling liquors[8] and tea[10] to repairing cycles[9], prior to his establishment as a religious leader.

Asaram and Laxmi Devi have two children, son Narayan Sai and daughter Bharti Devi. Their son Narayan Sai works with Asaram and is also mentioned in the Akhada's List of fake religious leaders.[13][2] Sai is also imprisoned in the same prison awaiting trial.[14]

According to Sant Asaram Bapuji ki Jeevan Jhanki, Asaram returned to Ahmedabad on 8 July 1971. On 29 January 1972, he built a hut at Motera, then a village on the banks of the Sabarmati.[11] Although his official biography doesn't mention it, Asaram also lived in Motera's Sadashiv Ashram for two years, before setting up his own hut adjacent to it.[15] He converted his hutment into an ashram in 1973, starting with 510 followers. In 1981 and 1992, the Indian National Congress-led state government allotted the ashram 14,515 m2 land. In 1997 and 1999, the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government allotted it 25,000 m2 for expansion.[11] Asaram had few followers in the beginning, but the numbers increased as local politicians became his devotees.[16] By 2013, Asaram had 400 major and minor ashrams in India and abroad, with numerous followers.[16]

Asaram has organized spiritual discourses all over India, whence his disciples are accorded diksha (initiation by a guru) by him. Around 20,000 students visited his satsang in Ahmedabad in December 2001.[17][18][19]

Asaram's Yoga Vedanta Seva Samiti (YVSS), organizes a Matri Pitri Poojan Divas ("mother-father worship day") on 14 February, as a form of protest against Valentine's Day, which is supposedly symbolic of a Western cultural invasion.[20][21][22] Asaram's proposal was supported by many prominent Indian politicians including union ministers and President Pranab Mukherjee.[23]

In 2015, the Government of the Chhattisgarh state institutionalized the practice, and directed all schools to observe Matru-Pitru Diwas ("mother-father day") every year on 14 February.[24]

A number of Asaram's ashrams have faced legal challenges, on grounds of illegal encroachment. Multiple state governments has razed ashrams to reclaim lands, that was illegally encroached upon including by forgery of documents.[11][25][15][11] There have been multiple pending cases and investigations into Asaram's Samitis for reasons of illegal encroachment.[26]

By 2008, 40 of Asaram's ashrams had gurukuls (residential schools) attached to them. The death of four boys at two of these Ashrams in 2008 led to allegations of black magic being practiced there.[11]

On 3 July 2008, two boys went missing from Asaram's residential school (gurukul) in Motera (Gujarat).[16] On 5 July 2013, the boys' mutilated bodies were found on the banks of the Sabarmati river near the Ashram. The parents alleged that the police harassed them and refused to register a complaint against Asaram or the ashram administration.[16] The incident led to public agitations, with allegations that the boys had been sacrificed by Asaram and his followers for black magic.[27]

A CID probe, ordered on the behest of the High Court of Gujarat rejected the claims of practice of black magic.[28]

The Narendra Modi-led Gujarat state government set up the Justice D.K. Trivedi Commission to probe the deaths in the Motera ashram.[29] In 2009, Asaram's followers organized a rally, protesting against their alleged harassment by the Gujarat police. The protest turned violent, and over 200 supporters of Asaram were arrested after they attacked and injured 20 policemen.[30]

According to the CID report, no evidence of black magic practice was found in Asaram's Ashram.[31]

In January 2013, while addressing a gathering of his followers, Asaram reportedly said that the victim of the 2012 Delhi gang rape was as guilty as her rapists: "The victim is as guilty as her rapists She should have called the culprits brothers and begged before them to stop This could have saved her dignity and life. Can one hand clap? I don't think so."[32] He also reportedly opinionated against harsher punishments for the accused in the Delhi rape victim case, as he felt that the law had the potential to be misused.[33][34]

The comments were widely criticized.[35]

Asaram denied the accusations and stated that his statement had been distorted and misrepresented.[36]

In August 2013, a 16-year-old girl accused Asaram of sexually assaulting her on the night of 15 August at his Manai ashram in Jodhpur on the pretext of exorcising her from evil spirits, though ashram inmates called such molestations "samarpan".[37][38] The girl's parents, who were disciples of Asaram, filed a complaint with the police in Delhi, and a case was registered after the medical examination of the girl confirmed sexual assault.[39] The issue was discussed in Indian Parliament and a strict action was demanded.[38]

When Asaram did not appear for interrogation by 31 August, Delhi Police booked him under multiple non-bailable sections of IPC.[40] Asaram remained inside one of his ashram(s) in Indore and avoided arrest while clashes broke out between his disciples and the journalists and policemen.[41] Eventually, the Jodhpur police arrested him on 1 September 2013 from his ashram,[37][42] and flew him to Jodhpur, where he is imprisoned.[43]

Asaram has dismissed the girl's allegations[44][45]and went on to claim impotency as an alibi, which was subsequently rejected after he passed the Potency test.[46][47] He has since been in jail and has been denied bail 12 times.[48][49][50][51] He was charged under Sections 342, 376, 506 and 509 of the IPC, as well as under Section 8 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO) and sections 23 and 26 of the Juvenile Justice Act.[43] The family of the victim alleged of receiveing threats from Asarams followers to drop the charges against him.[43]

On 25 April 2018, Asaram was pronounced guilty of the rape charges and imprisoned for life with a fine of 5 Lakh to be paid to the victim.[51] Two of his associates were awarded 20 years imprisonment.[52][53][54] Asaram and other co-accused have appealed in the High Court against conviction[55]. On 29th September 2018, Rajasthan High Court suspended the sentence of one of the co-accused Shilpi.[56] On 30 October 2018, Rajasthan High Court admitted the appeal against the conviction of Asaram.[57]

In December 2013, Asaram's son Narayan Sai was also arrested on charges of rape, after two sisters from Surat alleged that he and his father had raped them in Asaram's ashram during the mid-2000s.[58] The elder sister accused Asaram of repeated sexual assaults during 19972006 at the Motera ashram. The younger sister accused Narayan Sai of sexually assaulting her during 20022005 at the Surat ashram. One of the sisters also alleged that Asaram's wife and daughter helped the two men exploit the girls.[59]. The trial in this case is currently in progress.[60]

From 201415, there have been numerous attacks against various witnesses in the Asaram case.[15][61][62][63][64][65] Amrut Prajapati, a former aide of Asaram, who had turned against him, was shot and killed on 23 May 2014, after multiple prior attempts.[11][16][66][67][68] Another former associate Akhil Gupta who was the prime witness in the Surat rape case, was shot and killed on 11 January 2015.[69][70][71] Mahindra Chawla, his ex-follower and prime witness in Surat rape case narrowly missed an attempted murder.[60]

14 Best Yoga Retreats in Pennsylvania 2019 | BookRetreats

Posted: at 9:42 am


Imagine that you are finally taking your well-deserved vacation.

You close your eyes and hear nothing but the sound of a soft breeze and some carefree birds in the distance.

The glow of the sun warms your skin while the prairie breeze whisks away any remnants of heat.

No hustle and bustle to disturb your peace.

No hint of tourism to taint the perfection of nature.

Sounds kinda nice, right?

Thats what the beautiful, yet understated, state of Pennsylvania has to offer.

Farmlands stretch between mountain ranges and cities are humbly scattered throughout. All this land stretching makes for some spectacularly peaceful views.

Pennsylvania is one of the original 13 colonies. It has seen some serious stuff. All over the state you will find museums and historical buildings, all sharing the sometimes dark and troubled history of the United States.

Pennsylvania is full of Amish villages that are otherwise hidden throughout the rest of the country. It provides an interesting peek into a historic culture that is still thriving to this day.

We would be amiss if we touted all the great things about Pennsylvania without mentioning Pittsburgh. The city is rich in cultural history, with lots of monuments, museums, and parks. While American history books tend to go soft on the details, this city provides all the details in droves.

Finding the right yoga retreat in Pennsylvania fully depends on what kind of experience you are looking for. Here are a few of the most popular types of yoga holidays to choose from:

Looking for a balance of a whole wellness approach? The retreats in Pennsylvania are ready for you. Many of the retreats are designed to take advantage of the beautiful surrounding nature so that you can focus not only on your yoga but also your overall well-being.

Many yogis head to Pennsylvania when looking for yoga retreats near DC as this allows them to escape to the beautiful country while still being able to hop over to the vibrant city.

While meditation is supposed to teach you to be able to be at peace amidst all the noise, that is obviously quite challenging to do. Pennsylvania serves as the perfect place to grow your meditation practice as it cuts out all of those distractions you normally have. In a way, it turns basically everything that you do into a sort of meditation.

While they aren't necessarily a yoga center that offers your favorite vinyasa yoga or power yoga, they do offer programs that align with the yogic lifestyle.

Kripalu is a yoga health and wellness center that offers education on the topics of yoga, Ayurveda, spiritual practice, and meditation.

For a super cool experience, check them out the next time you're in Pennsylvania.

The best time to visit Pennsylvania is in the fall. The months of fall for that region are September, October, and November. The heat has faded away but the icy winter hasnt set in quite yet. Plus, the changing of the leaves is really a beautiful site.

However, after witnessing corruption in the car dealership and subsequently being fired for calling it out, he decided to start his own business.

If you dont have the budget right now for the entire Grant Cardone Sales Training University, then feel free to check out other top-rated Grant Cardone products and tools.

The challenge with the Grant Cardone University review is there is truly no shortage of online sales courses available.

With so many courses and trainingsonline, it is often hard to know what is real and whats a waste of time.

Youcould just stick to free trainings on forums and Youtube, but the problem is there is a lot of bullcrap theory and bad advice that you will have to filter through, andoften you cant tell the difference.

That is not the case with Grant Cardone University. This course is not a scam.

Grant Cardone University is easily the best sales training course in the world.

With Grant Cardone, you have someonewhois established andsuccessful. He also shows you exactly what he does to make sales.

He teaches you in-depth exactly what he does to earn his money and how you can do the same. This course is about teaching you how to fish and become a fisherman.

If you are in sales and would like 10x your business, you should invest in this course

Nevertheless, whatever point youre at, Grant gives you the foundationalskills you will needbe consistently profitable.

Without it, you may have temporary success, but it may notlast. Invest in your education and you will reap the benefits for a lifetime.

As I mentioned above, Grant Cardone University typically costs $19,815, but it has recently been discounted.

I am not sure how long Grant is going to keep this discount going, so be sure to take advantage of it before time runs out.

I hope that my Cardone University review helped give you more insight on the course and I appreciate your feedback in the comments.

Sri Aurobindo Ashram The Mother

Posted: March 27, 2019 at 8:44 pm


Sri Aurobindo Ashram The Mother

The Mother was born Mirra Alfassa in Paris on 21 February 1878. A pupil at the Academie Julian, she became an accomplished artist, and also excelled as a pianist and writer. Interested in occultism, she visited Tlemcen, Algeria, in 1905 and l906 to study with the adept Max Theon and his wife. Her primary interest, however, was spiritual development. In Paris she founded a group of spiritual seekers and gave talks to various groups.

In 1914 the Mother voyaged to Pondicherry to meet Sri Aurobindo, whom she at once recognised as the one who for many years had inwardly guided her spiritual development. After a stay of eleven months she was obliged to return to France due to the outbreak of the First World War. A year later she went to Japan for a period of four years.

In April 1920 the Mother rejoined Sri Aurobindo in Pondicherry. When the Sri Aurobindo Ashram was formed in November 1926, Sri Aurobindo entrusted its full material and spiritual charge to the Mother. Under her guidance, which continued for nearly fifty years, the Ashram grew into a large, many-faceted spiritual community. In 1952 she established Sri Aurobindo International Centre of Education, and in 1968 an international township, Auroville.

The Mother left her body on l7 November 1973.

Self, the I as experienced by an individual. In modern psychology the notion of the self has replaced earlier conceptions of the soul.

The concept of the self has been a central feature of many personality theories, including those of Sigmund Freud, Alfred Adler, Carl Jung, Gordon W. Allport, Karen Horney, Carl Rogers, Rollo May, and Abraham H. Maslow.

According to Carl Jung the self is a totality consisting of conscious and unconscious contents that dwarfs the ego (q.v.) in scope and intensity. The maturation of the self is the individuation process, which is the goal of the healthy personality.

Rogers theorized that a persons self-concept determines his behaviour and his relation to the world, and that true therapeutic improvement occurs only when the individual changes his own self-concept. Mays approach was similarly existential; he conceived the self as a dynamic entity, alive with potentiality. Maslows theory of self-actualization was based on a hierarchy of needs and emphasized the highest capacities or gratifications of a person. See also humanistic psychology.

Emotional ImbalanceApril 14, 2016Emotional Imbalance plays havoc with our organs.

All too often emotional imbalance and the inner turbulence it creates is the Bane of our existence.

New medical science estimates that 90% of our mental and physical impairments are emotionally oriented.

These emotional challenges we carry, keep us in the way of ourselves more than we care to realize.

Depression is a condition of energy depletion it is possible to lose perspective and project depression onto unrelated areas of life, thinking that you are depressed because of this or that condition, instead of understanding the real cause: energy depletion If you can accept and open to depression, you will recharge your energy reserves instead of suppressing the depression with self-rejection, such as becoming depressed about the depression. ~ John Ruskan, Emotional Clearing.

Heres one example of an experiment that is happening all around you, and may well happen to you one day. If you get run over today and you break your hip, you will probably be given diamorphine, the medical name for heroin. In the hospital around you, there will be plenty of people also given heroin for long periods, for pain relief. The heroin you will get from the doctor will have a much higher purity and potency than the heroin being used by street-addicts, who have to buy from criminals who adulterate it. So if the old theory of addiction is right its the drugs that cause it; they make your body need them then its obvious what should happen. Loads of people should leave the hospital and try to score smack on the streets to meet their habit.

33 Most Inspiring Eckhart Tolle Quotes (2019 Inspiration)

Posted: March 26, 2019 at 12:45 pm


The most common ego identifications have to do with possessions, the work you do, social status and recognition, knowledge and education, physical appearance, special abilities, relationships, person and family history, belief systems, and often nationalistic, racial, religious, and other collective identifications. None of these is you. Eckhart Tolle Ego Quotes

What a liberation to realize that the voice in my head is not who I am. Who am I then? The one who sees that. Eckhart Tolle Ego Quotes

The beginning of freedom is the realization that you are not the thinker. The moment you start watching the thinker, a higher level of consciousness becomes activated. You then begin to realize that there is a vast realm of intelligence beyond thought, that thought is only a tiny aspect of that intelligence. You also realize that all the things that truly matter beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace arise from beyond the mind. You begin to awaken. Eckhart Tolle Ego Quotes

You become most powerful in whatever you do if the action is performed for its own sake rather than as a means to protect, enhance, or conform to your role identity. Eckhart Tolle Ego Quotes
