↔Jai Sadagurudeo ! About Manarshi sadafaldeo Ji Maharaj Birth Maharshi Sadafaldeo Ji Maharaj was born inthe year 1888 onthe fourth day ofthe first fortnight of Bhadrapada, of Vikram Samvat 1945. Family He was born in a renowned yogi family inthe lineage of Maharshi Shringi. His forefather, Baba Lalji Rao, six generations above, was a great yogi who used to sit in a firm yogic posture in meditation for six months continuously. Journey of Sadafaldeo to Maharshi Sadguru Sadafaldeo Morning showsthe day andthe child showsthe man. This proverb exactly fitsthe case of Maharshi Sadafaldeoji Maharaj, while still a child of two; he sat aloof on a wooden plank and his father, mother and other elderly members of his house to lay prostrate before him, as he was a great saint. Persons thought thatthe child was just making fun andthey reverently touched his feet.The same boy when began going to school could continue his studies. He wanted to learn Sanskrit in order to knowthe secret of God realization by going throughthe ancient scriptures. Atthe early age of eleven Sadafal went to Kashi to learn Sanskrit, butthe scholars of Sanskrit in Kasi, who were Brahmins by caste, did not agree to impart himthe knowledge of Sanskrit, as he hailedfrom a Kshatriya family. Being disappointed, boy Sadafal decided to practice Yoga, because he had he heard that ancient saints and seers got invaluable and deep knowledge of every thing by practicing Yoga. As a result he sat in meditation practicing 'Unmunimudra' which Lord Krishna has taught inthe Gita. Maharshi Sadafaldeo practiced his first lesson of yoga for controlling mind continuously for three years. He sat in meditation in a secluded place in Sidhasana, a yogic posture, for six hours every day. One night while he was meditating thus, he found that his room was filled up with effulgence. He also heard a sweet and soothing voicefrom the void. "This won't lead you to attainthe Supreme Lord, as this practice is based on material sense organs." Sometimes while in a state of meditation, he felt that someone put one ofthe fingers onthe uppermost point of his head. On opening his eyes, he found nonethere. He could not make out who had spoken so sweetly and who had touched his head with his finger. Later on when Swamiji began practicing yoga inside his cave at Vritikoot Ashram, Pakari, he met a saint with light effulgingfrom him, inthe early hours of morning in a lovely field. This saint initiated him intothe conscious technique of Vihangam Yoga and him not to come out of his cave beforethe public until a period of six months of 'anusthan' was complete. Swamiji later on realized thatthe saint he had met was not a common one. He wasthe Eternal True teacher, Nitya Anadi Sadguru.The Lord is Eternal andthe way of realizing him is also eternal. As suchthe teacher teachingthe scientific technique of realizingthe Lord is also eternal. He is gifted withthe power of materializing his body whenever he wills. He also appears inthe physical form in allthe four ages viz Satyuga, Tretaa, Dwapar and Kaliyuga and teachesthe technique of Vihangam Yoga,the only way of God-realization, to deserving aspirants. A reference to this effect has been made inthe Vedas at several places. Twa dootam agney amritam yugey- yugey havyawaaham dadhirey paayum eedayam. Devaasah cha martasah cha jaagrivim vibhum vishwapatim namasaa nishedirey. -- Rig Veda O Lord! Your messenger comes to this world with your nectarian message to emancipatethe suffering humanity and leads it toThee. People as well as gods can't know Him. We lay ourselves prostrate to his Holy feet. He practiced vihangam yoga for seventeen long years, underthe guidance ofthe same Eternal Sadguru, in his self made cave at Vritikoot Ashram Pakari, Ballia, in his cave at Shoonya Shikar Ashram Himalayas, at Jhoonsi Ashram (Prayag) onthe bank of Ganges and at several other sacred places. He undertook a number of yoga anusthans (Continuous Practice) lasting continuously for six months. Being pleased with his great sacrifice and perseverance, Nitya Anadi Sadguru endowed him withthe authority of True Teacher. Inthe month of Magh (two months beforethe Indian Festival- Holi), Eternal Sadguru blessed Maharshi Sadafal deo Ji withthe authority of Sadguru and inthe process, transferredthe divine Brahma Vidya Knowledge to him. It was that auspicious moment when Sadguru Sadafal deo Ji was enlightened withthe complete Brahma Vidya knowledge. Only a Sadguru hasthe potential to bless a disciple withthe complete knowledge and authorizethe disciple as next Sadguru. No one can claim himself or herself as Sadguru just by reading VEDAs and other books. A sadguru isthe one who hasthe practical experience of Brahma Vidya and who can empower a deserved disciple withthe same. Sadguru Sadafaldeo ji Maharaj has said in his unique spiritual work Swarveda Magh Maas shub maas hai, Ardh kumbh paryaag Sadguru sadguru pad diye, puran gyaan viraag -- Swarveda
