T he material in this volume is culled from over two thousand stories about Maharajji gathered during five years from more than one hundred devotees. To these devotees who shared their treasured memo ries, I wish to express my deep love and appreciation. Some of them felt that no book could or should be written about a being with qualities as vast, formless, and subtle as Maharajji’s, and yet they contributed their stories nevertheless. I honor them for this kindness and I hope that in my zeal to share experiences of Maharajji with others who were not fortu nate enough to have met him, I have not misused their trust. Some devotees tell me that stories told by other devotees are not fac tually accurate. I have no way of ascertaining the authenticity of any single story. All I can report is that those o f us who gathered the stories were impressed by the credibility of those of us who told the stories. Though the responsibility for this manuscript lies solely with me, I am delighted to acknowledge a lot o f loving help from my friends:

The Battle for Bharat
Author: Mukundan P.R.
Publisher: Universal Culture Trust
ISBN: 8195646360
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
The book “The Battle for Bharat” by Mukundan P.R. discusses the origins and evolution of Hindu Nationalism, tracing its roots back to the ancient civilization of India, which is said to descend from Manu, the patriarch of humanity. It highlights the cultural lineage of India, which produced numerous sages, poets, astronomers, and rulers, enriching the civilization. The book emphasizes the divine character attributed to the motherland in Hindu thought, referencing ancient texts. Patriotism is elevated to a religious duty, integrating love for the motherland into the spiritual fabric of Hindu culture. V.D. Savarkar defined Hindu as someone for whom India is both fatherland and holy land, distinguishing Hindus from followers of Christianity and Islam, which are considered foreign religions. The book explains the tensions between Hindu nationalism and Abrahamic religions, advocating for protecting the Sanatana Dharma, which embodies a non-dogmatic, inclusive approach to spirituality. It highlights the interplay between political Islam, Hindu nationalism, and the historical context of Christian missions in India. Key themes include the unique worldview of Hinduism that promotes humanitarianism and inclusiveness, the belief in spiritual evolution, and the various paths toward understanding life's mysteries. However, for the 'Battle for India' to succeed, the theological and ethical basis of Hinduism must be redefined so that it is acceptable to all people. Hinduism or Sanatana Dharma should truly represent the aspirations of mankind. The book explores the fundamental basis of Hindu Dharma, contrasting the traditional view of the Trimurti as creators with the concept of Manu as the supreme Creator in Hindu philosophy. According to Navajyoti Sri Karunakara Guru, the Trimurti system, which gained prominence during the seventh Chatur Yuga of the current Vaivasvata Manvantara, has overshadowed the original understanding of Manu as the true Creator. The Guru critiques the shift in Hinduism from a Manu-centric system, guided by epochal Gurus to one centered around the Trimurti and devata worship. The spiritual administration of the Manu lineage, which focuses on universal and timeless truths, has been sidelined in favor of Puranic traditions that emphasize ritualistic worship. This shift led to the rise of caste-based divisions and priestly monopolies, distorting the true essence of Hindu Dharma. Navajyoti Sri Karunakara Guru's mission is to correct the distortions in the spiritual traditions of India, especially within Sanatana Dharma, and to establish a new spiritual and social order. His revelations offer a global perspective for spiritual unity beyond religious divisions, emphasizing equality and freedom from karmic and cultural limitations. The Guru revealed the divine plan for the evolution of life, a system disrupted over time due to human error. He calls for the re-establishment of this eternal spiritual order to halt the decline of civilization, which is characterized by religious discord, moral disorientation, and materialistic excess. This shift must occur for humanity to achieve world peace and social harmony.
