Navratri is a festival symbolizing the nine nights of battle between good and evil, culminating in the victory of good on the tenth day. During this period, Divine Mother is worshipped and we reflect on all her positive virtues which include power, energy, and wisdom.
Maitreya Dadashreeji shares profound understanding on the 9 auspicious nights and the 10th day of celebration. See Translation below:
“Let's first understand the importance of Navaratri when you are on a spiritual path. Why do these nine nights exist? What is the importance of this? Why does the Ashram invite everyone to take part in this festival and inspire them to do so? Creation was made in these nine days. The journey of the universe from zero to hundred, that journey is of nine days. The universe develops from a childhood state of confusion to a mature state of balanced energies. From nothingness to everything, it all happened in these nine days!
The first three days are the childhood state where nobody understands what is happening. One can't see right from wrong. The energy of the nascent creation is this way everywhere across the planet. One can't see right and wrong because there are both types of energy -good and bad, impure and Divine, which ate active during this time. And you cannot understand the difference! For three days you are in a state of confusion. A regular individual cannot make out the difference between right and wrong. This is the case every where, in the entire creation. And you are wandering in darkness. You are not aware of who is sitting around you. So, the impure energies and Gods alike are wandering everywhere. Therefore, the first three days, any type of energy can go anywhere. So, no matter how pious your house or your temple is, mixed energy forms can come there too. Slowly, the mixed energies intensity reduces, but for the first three days, it is very intense! This is not published in any book. The Gurus will know this. This is why I am explaining this to you, so that you can understand it, that yes, it happens! Mixed Energies come and go, so what you should do in these three days is that you Hold on to the Divine strongly!! Hold on to Shakti (Divine Feminine Energy). In the state of Nothingness, Shakti is fully awakened during this time! This is why Jaagaran (staying awake) is done especially at nights. You don't fall asleep as there are these all sorts of energies going around. Just keep chanting God's name, so that the environment around you stays Divine. This is the importance of it. So, for three days, even we advice to follow a routine or sadhana— about what to eat, where to spend your time & all this is mentioned when the big Navaratri happens.
So, for the first three days you remain in strong association with Maa (Your Divine Mother), in prayers and when as you progress with time, the intensity reduces. Maa's (Shakti's) form slays the demons. When the ninth day arrives, all the demons or bad energies are sent back to prison.
On the tenth day (Vijaya Dashami), everybody is blessed with Divine Grace to do in their lives what they need to do from here on - whatever it is that you set your intent and resolve to do.
So, these nine nights are also very important for your spiritual growth and the state of your spiritual state deepens. You prepare a lot for this spiritual state! Fasting, preparing your body, connecting with Maa. Bad energies may come through food too. So, keep your diet Sattvic at this time. These observances are mentioned in scriptures as well.
While you may live in accordance with the scriptures, most importantly we suggest you keep yourself connected with the Divine. This is why we have Navaratri!
You have been doing this for so many years while being associated with the Maitribodh Family, so this time as well, when Maa's (Divine Mother’s) form is established at your place, with this deeper understanding , we will partake in the festivities wholeheartedly!
MaitriBodh Parivaar is a family, isn't it?
so let's celebrate Life like a festival! That is why Maitribodh exists, to celebrate good and rejoice in life!.”

Seeker's Question: Sometimes as we come home from somewhere, we start feeling low. Is there any outside negative energy that makes us feel low? If so, how do we protect ourselves from it?
Maitreya Dadashreeji :
If you are fearful, there are a lot of things that can scare you. Negative energy is a minor thing among them. So leave it alone. Even ghost or spirit energy is easy to deal with. But beware of humans! They are the difficult ones to deal with. Even God finds them a handful. While creating humans using all the cosmic energy, God thought He was creating something beautiful & very special. However, the end product turned out to be defective. Now who would fix it? So many have come on this earth to solve that problem.
Remember, you are much stronger than any negative energy. Wherever there is positive energy, there is bound to be negative energy. If there is positive thought, there is negative thought also. It’s the thought energy that takes negative or positive form. Like, there is positive energy within our ashram, because people in the ashram think positive. There is negative energy outside the ashram because people out there think of defrauding others.
Anger, revenge, fear are negative energies. You feel it when you go through it. Because on a spiritual path you get cleansed all the time. So you become more sensitive to negative energy. It’s like if you wear white clothes while playing holi (festival of colors), even a speck of color on white clothes will show distinctly. Whereas if you wear colored clothes, it will not be even noticeable.
If you happen to pick up negative energy from outside, then go home, take off your clothes, wash them, and sit in front of the Divine light. Let the Divine light know that you have carried some negative energy home that is disturbing your mind.
Request the Divine Light to wash it off. Put on some soothing music & lie down for 10 mins. Divine Light will remove all the negative energy and free you from worry. You will receive this free cleansing treatment right in your own home without any laundry charges.
IN THE FORM OF DIVINE LIGHT, YOU ARE BLESSED WITH A LOT OF THINGS. YOU JUST HAVE TO KEEP EXPLORING IT AND MOVE AHEAD.
Tensions and pressures are an inevitable part of life. When you are bothered by it, don’t make calls to anyone or look for solutions elsewhere. Just sit in front of the Divine light and say whatever comes to your mind. You will get solution instantly. Then take action on it.
If you are not able to sleep because of worries, sit in front of the Divine Light, share your worries and ask to calm you down. Divine Light will take care of it. Very simple!
I don’t want to you go to bed with tension or worry. You should sleep carefree.
DIVINE LIGHT IS THE SOLUTION TO ALL YOUR WORRIES AND PROBLEMS.
You are the most powerful force in the world, not the negative energy. So don’t get scared, instead scare others with your good qualities, such as an angry person suddenly starts feeling love and freaks out about the sudden surge of love.

Q: Some people on a spiritual path claim that they have found God so they don’t need to partake in any spiritual process. In such a case, what is the significance of a spiritual process like Maitri Chitta Shuddhi Kriya?
A: In case of people who claim that they have found God, the same God all the more wants them to participate in Chitta Shuddhi Kriya. So that they can see for themselves what their God feels/ experiences being in that state.
When you say that you have found God or you are experiencing God, you default your claim right there. Because when you actually experience the Truth, you never go around telling people about it. You totally lose the desire to tell anyone. When you experience God, you become one with God.
Experiencing God means experiencing Love. Wherever there is God there is love, and vice versa. If this is not your experience, then there is no truth in your claim that you have found God.
It is very essential that such people should be given more guidance to advance their journey on a spiritual path.
Now, Maitri Chitta Shuddhi Kriya is a process done on you to remove any obstacles that stop you from performing your duties or to remove deep seeded wrong impressions that hinder your spiritual growth. This process HAPPENS TO YOU without you doing anything. As you arrive to participate in Maitri Chitta Shuddhi Kriya, details about your lifestyle, mental health etc are collected. Based on that, Chitta Shuddhi Kriya is performed on you.
Two days after the Kriya, you start seeing the ‘before and after’ difference within. Your Chitta, where deep seeded feelings reside, gets purified. It’s an ongoing ‘maintenance process’ like servicing of a vehicle.

Namaste Dada! Lots of love! Dada, what is the difference between 'Vaasana' and desire?
Dada:
I suppose we deal with this topic around Bodh 3. Typically, we talk of 'Sanskaar' or impressions, Desires and 'Vaasana', all of which determine our personality and propel us towards certain action. Of these, 'Vaasana' operates at a deeper level. It is a form of Shakti (energy) that determines how we express ourselves and connect with the world around us. Our 'Vaasana's can be understood as a general set of deep, unmanifest desires that have not necessarily achieved specific expression in our lives. However, desires are more specific - I want to be rich, I want to visit this place and so on. Desires could either be fleeting (I feel like having an ice cream) or firm (I want to become a doctor). Our 'Vaasana's stand behind our specific, tangible desires and define how we express ourselves to the world. Even when our desires diminish, 'Vaasana's remain. When you go inward, you will become sensitive to these 'Vaasana's - that there is something vague within us that is governing our actions in the world. It is also possible in deep meditation to withdraw the energy of our 'Vaasana's from the world and channelize it completely inward, towards the seat of the Divine. This state is called 'Antarmukha' - facing inward. In this state, the mind/body complex stops responding to external stimuli, just as how we become unresponsive to external sounds in deep sleep. The major difference between deep sleep and being 'Antarmukha' is that in the latter, one is not asleep but completely aware, even if unresponsive. When you sometimes hear 'Dadashreeji is now Antarmukhi', this is what it means. This state is also called 'Turiya'.
Let us revise the four states of being. The first is 'Jaagrit' - the wakeful state. Next is 'Swapna' - the dream state. The third is 'Sushupti' - the state of deep sleep. These three states are accessible to and experienced by everybody. The fourth state, which only a few are able to experience, is 'Turiya'. In this state, you are completely aware that you are withdrawn from the world and are able to see your inner self clearly. In other words, you can exactly see where you reach after you fall asleep. Therefore, 'Jaagrit' and 'Turiya' are two ends of the spectrum - the former in which you experience the external world, the latter in which you experience your inner world. As one slowly comes out of 'Turiya', one can observe with complete awareness, all the transitions into the other states ('Sushupti' and 'Swapna') before waking up into the 'Jaagrit' state.
This whole experience of reaching 'Turiya' and back is very revealing and blissful. Will you travel there with me? (Smiles). The problem is that we remain attached to the 'Jaagrit' or conscious/wakeful state. We need courage and an attitude of surrender (to the Guru or the Divine) to detach from the three comfortable/known states, and walk into the yet unknown. But remember that there is nothing unusual or miraculous about going into 'Turiya'. It is, in fact, our natural state of being, albeit that which is forgotten by many. It is as natural as eating when hungry. It is definitely worth experiencing this state at least once in your lifetime.
Finally, I will reiterate that wherever you are in your spiritual journey, whatever exalted states you might seek to experience, you must never relinquish your duties in the world. If you are able to give your best in everything during the day, empty your mind and sleep soundly at night, you would be a model human being. That is my wish for all of you.

Question: Dada, here is my question. Several times, when we return home from outside, we feel low or weird. Is there something like negative energy that affects us this way? If yes, how do we protect ourselves from it?
Dada: I wonder who exactly is all set to 'attack' you (laughter). Do you think there is some energy out there to get you? Truth is, when you are intrinsically in fear or have the tendency to be easily scared, there are many who will add to those fears. In fact, I would say even negative energy is fine. It is hardly a threat and can be easily managed. The only thing to be really wary of though, is man (laughter). Handling human beings is so hard that even God is struggling in this matter (laughter and loud applause), and wondering "I intended to create something beautiful but look what has become of it" (more laughter). Man, who is supposed to be at the pinnacle of creation, a marvel, has ended up like a defective device. So, Masters have had to descend to the human plane to 'repair' these defective pieces, by knocking on their heads, if necessary.
Just remember that you are more powerful than any negative energy. There is no denying that just as positive energy or positive thoughts exist, so does negativity. In fact, it is from thoughts and intentions that energy rises. Why do we feel calm and peaceful in our Ashram? Because our mind and thoughts are collectively in an elevated state. So, the energy becomes positive. Outside, when people are only engaged in plotting against one another, scheming to acquire more and more wealth, or commit fraud, or are always steeped in anger, vengefulness and fear, the energy becomes polluted and hence, negative. As a result, such spaces disturb you.
Now, consider this. During Holi (a Hindu festival that is celebrated with colors), if we dress in white, even the slightest speck of color (like red) becomes prominent on our clothes. On the other hand, if our attire was colorful to begin with, it would take much more than a mere speck of any Holi color to be visible on our clothing. Similarly, when you are walking the spiritual path, you are getting cleansed/purified from within, and hence, become more sensitive to negative energy. You might not know what exactly is happening around or within, but you will definitely be able to feel the negativity more easily. In such cases, all I would ask you to do is "wash your clothes" ie. wash it all off in front of your Divine Light. Speak to your Light and appeal to It to remove any bit of negative energy that you may have carried from elsewhere, and that which is disturbing you presently. Lie down in Shavasan (corpse pose in Yoga), play calming music if that helps, and try to find peace. There is no need for any additional 'laundry' service. Divine Light offers services free of cost in the convenience of your home (laughter).
You have been given a very powerful tool, the Divine Light. Do not underestimate it. Whenever you are disturbed or anxious, do not run hither and tither making phone calls to people or getting further agitated. Just sit with your Light in a room and talk to It. Explain your situation. I promise you - your problems would be solved then and there. It is as simple as that. I repeat - pour out your worries to the Divine Light, receive guidance and act accordingly. Remember that I would never want you to go to bed in worry. If you are unable to fall asleep, appeal to your Divine Light. Your problem will be resolved. Please keep this faith.
In summary, I want to re-iterate that if there is anything powerful in this world, it is you. You need not be afraid of any negative energy, real or imagined. So do not live in fear, instead 'scare' others. (laughter) Just as even a tiny bit of negativity from others affects you, let at least a tiny bit of your positivity affect them to the point where they start feeling uncomfortable. The presence of love and acceptance might feel like a shock to those who are used to dwelling in anger and hatred, and they will get 'scared'. (laughter) May you aim to exist thus, without fear!

Namaste and welcome to all of you!
Many of our hardships in life are self-created. We also tend to complicate matters by sticking to unhelpful thoughts and ideas. So, today let us see how we can solve our own problems, by nurturing a specific noble quality in ourselves and outside. And that is the Divine quality of Kshama(forgiveness).
Let us examine what happens when we hold on to so much anger or hatred against someone, that we are unable to forgive them. Oftentimes, people come to me complaining of heaviness in their heads/hearts and seek peace. In the course of our conversations, it quickly becomes evident that the root cause of their suffering is some deep seated resentment against someone. The desire to seek revenge for being wronged, silently permeates our bodies and minds, manifesting as disease and pain. If we lead our lives in anger, how can we find peace?
Forgiveness is that life-giving water which cools down the hot embers of anger that threaten to darken and burn us. It is indeed Divine. One may say that it is extremely difficult to forgive someone who has given us a lot of pain. But it is possible to effortlessly let go of our anger, if we develop self-awareness and a deep, unwavering connection with the Divine within us. This will help us tap into our inner reservoir of strength, which will then in turn, make it easier for us to practice forgiveness.
Therefore, for us and those around us to progress or transform, it is imperative that we consciously cultivate this quality. Remember - however difficult people or circumstances might be, our personal bond with our Divine will give us the necessary strength to effortlessly forgive or accept them and move on. And whoever understands this secret, is indeed free.
To summarize today's teaching succinctly - "One who forgives, will progress." Please examine your lives to see if forgiveness can help you walk further on your spiritual path and lead you closer to your True Nature of Divinity. Practice forgiveness to manifest enormous transformation in your lives. For the next 7 days, please meditate on this thought and teaching.
Let us meet again next week with a new thought. May your lives be blessed and auspicious! Namaste!

It is very simple. Leave aside the mystical aspect of being an ‘Incarnate’, leave alone the Leela (mystical experiences) that He may bring but just look at Him as a being who is here on Earth not for Himself but for the good of others, not to experience the pleasures of this world but to help others overcome their own suffering. While Divine Beings and Awakened Masters can be identified by the selfless work that they do while being on Earth but amongst those Divine Beings, a ‘Divine Incarnate’ is the one who comes with a very specific purpose which is the need of the hour for humanity and He is the only one who is capable of bringing such a huge shift that changes the Course of Time itself.

Q: What is Enlightenment & What is Transformation ?
Maitreya Dadashreeji:
"Enlightenment is a state that people have experienced in past. It is difficult to experience the same in current times. It is a spiritial state. It can be experienced at a physical plane. In this state you can see the difference between you and your mind in the physical plane, just like the physical distance between you and I. In this state you do not do anything, as you are simply witnessing "a person with a seperate mind". You witness everything that you do and see. Witnessing it as a ‘see-er’.
Example you go to watch a movie, you don’t change the hero/ the plot but just watch. Similar is enlightened state. Your mind does not stop but is differentiated and so it is simply watching everything however is unable to change the outer reality. Thoughts will always continue but you are separate from them.
Example of enlightened beings are Arjun or Ravana from the past.
Transformed state is different– this is mentioned in the vedas (ancient scriptures) as Amrit state (Nectar of Divine). In this state, you are flowing with your mind but you are purifying the mind while you are with it.
Example. in case of Ravana, Him being enlightened did not change his ambivalent mind. But Transformation would amount to his mind becoming like Lord Rama’s mind (A Divine mind). When you see your mind you see it as mixture of pure & impure. But you can see in Buddha’s case – His mind was completely pure, he was beyond enlightenment . He was in a Divine/ Amrit state.
Transformed mind is completely pure and we are working for this. People think this is not possible hence the path of enlightenment.
We would like to remind you, don’t be exasperated with your mind or try to run away from it. If your mind is transformed, entire creation will be transform. Today’s requirement is not enlightenment because problems cannot be solved through it, it is only through Transformation that the world will change.
When you sit here, the mind automatically transforms when the mind connects with the Divine within.
When the Divine & its positive energies within are awakened & flow into your mind, it will cause the mind to transform. Your mind will feel pure and your thoughts and actions will be likewise. Doing sadhana or meditating on a Divine form is also for purifying the mind. It is path to transformation. Practicing to be a seer (as opposed to I doing something) is practice for enlightenment.
When a realized master or Guru is there they can teach you this Truth. You or someone reading books you cannot get knowledge of the truth. When your experience is based on your personal internal state only then it is the Truth, not what you read & try to interpret. That is what we teach. You do not have to go anywhere or run away from your karmas. Even if you try to run away from it, it will come back to you sooner or later in some form. This has happened to great masters – they could not run from karmas. Even Gods incarnation had to go through this system. You can postpone but not avoid. It goes with your heartbeat-frequency. The best thing is to not try to escape karmic repercussions & face them as it is. The Divine is always with you!

An experience shared -
My cousin's sister owns a shop, which she rented out to a tenant ten years ago. Now, the tenant is refusing to vacate the shop and is demanding more money in order to leave. My sister was extremely worried and unable to find a solution to this problem. Last week, she called me to discuss this issue.
I suggested that she sit in front of The Divine light and pray for guidance, asking Dada to provide us with a solution to vacate the shop.
Yesterday morning, she called to inform me that the tenant is willingly and happily ready to vacate the shop without any additional payment. Within one week, Dada helped us overcome this problem.
We are grateful to Dada and the Divine for this personal miracle.
With love and prayer alone, our problem was resolved.

Shivi Verma interviews Dadashreeji the young guru of Maitribodh parivaar and returns with some fascinating information and insights
After several rounds of negotiations with the Maitribodh Parivaar people, finally, I was given an appointment with Dadashreeji, guru, and head of the parivaar at his Shanti Kshetra Premagiri Ashram in the interiors of Karjat, a place near Mumbai.
The place was far and since there was no pick-and-drop facility, I had to cover the tortuous distance on my own. The travel comprised two train journeys in combination with two long distance shared tempo journeys to be at the ashram before the appointed time of 2:30 pm. I was nervous. I needed grace, so I bowed before the picture of my gurus at my altar and sought the blessings of Dadashreeji himself before setting off.
And the travail turned into a memorable gift. As I boarded the 7 trains to Dadar I felt a warm invisible layer of protection wrap me from within and without. The connecting train journey till Neral station was seamless and I got a comfortable seat in the tempo which was to drop me at Kashele village.
As the rickety tempo moved along the winding road, spring unveiled before my eyes its fullest splendor. Warm sun rays kissed the yellow grass carpeting the undulating landscape, trees burst with purple, yellow, red and white blooms; indolent country rivulets flowed lazily along their rocky beds; rustic folks gathered around their small rounded huts, and there was a tinkle of bells from the necks of their bullocks. All this and the fragrant air filled me with sweet drowsiness as I drank deeply from the chalice of the natural bounty that lay sprawling before my eyes.
I recollected that it was three years ago when I had first come to the ashram during the monsoons. Ever since I have seen Maitribodh Parivar’s mission spread like wildfire, setting off a chain reaction wherever its followers go. The beneficiaries claim that the peace and transformation that follows after meeting Dadashreeji is unmistakable and for keeps.
I reached around 11 am, much before the stipulated time. I picked up the holy soil upon which the ashram stood and rubbed it on my forehead in gratitude. Freshly sown flowers peeped joyfully from their pots and rows and the white-tiled pathway leading to Dhyan Manthan Kshetra shone with newness. Except for me and four-five other disciples, there was no one else in the ashram. A rare opportunity indeed. Mitra Parna and Shankh, two of his close disciples, welcomed me warmly. After a brief talk, they left me to enjoy the divinity which flows unabashedly and abundantly from the portraits of Mahavatar Babaji and Dadashreeji. I sat in deep and fulfilling silence, soaking the energies. I opened my eyes and looked around. Outside two wild bulls had locked their horns in the low-lying meadows, pushing and nudging each other in a playful fight. I left the room and went out, feeling that even if I did not meet the guru I would have no qualms. A fount of tranquillity was drenching me from head to toe …making me want to never leave the place.
My reverie was broken when Mitra Shank, informed me about the arrival of Dadashreeji. I have led inside the Dhyan Manthan Kshetra once again. The sweet and knowing smile of the young and dapper master welcomed me. He was seated on his sofa, dressed in a maroon kurta. I bowed to him and began the interview.
Tell us something about your early life, where you were born, your family background, former name, and places where you grew up.
I was born in Mumbai on 27 December 1977 and raised in Mumbai only. My parents were from a middle-class family. My father was a lab-technician and my mother was a housewife. Both of them live with me. My parents named me Mangesh. All this appears now as the story of another lifetime, and I do not relate to it so much. I do not wish to reveal my surname because that would limit my identity to a particular caste. Since childhood, I used to feel and think differently from other children of my age. I remember when I was in class IV I asked a fellow student why was there a difference between him and me? Why is it that he and I did not think alike? Why couldn’t I be him and he be me? He was baffled by my questions. Nothing could give me answers to these questions. I was a science student and not specifically inclined to know God, although I believed in universal energy through the concepts of physics. When I entered the 12th standard changes began to take place. After I joined the medical school the faultless design of the human body made me wonder about the intelligence sourcing this perfection. Then I happened to read Dasbodh, a treatise written by saint Samarth Ramdas on the nature of God, nature of illusion, and ways to function in life from a space of deep spiritual understanding. Dasbodhinspired me to meditate. As I meditated I began to have visitations of saints, deities, and historical figures. Finally, Mahavatar Babaji appeared before me and revealed my true self and life purpose to me in 2005.
What was that life purpose?
That I was a divine being. My divinity and the onward path were revealed in stages to me by Mahavatar Babaji. My body too had to evolve to acclimatize to the changes in consciousness. I used to get a fever in those times but since I knew what was happening I could bear it. By 2011 things were very clear to me, and he asked me to interact with people.
What do you mean by being a divine being? Are you God?
What do you understand by God?
God is omnipresent, all-powerful, all-knowing, can hold everything whereas humans are the opposite.
For you that maybe the definition of God. For me, I am somebody to help and deliver. Divinity is not static …it is an ongoing, ever-expanding phenomenon. There is still so much to know and explore.
Is there anybody beyond you?
( Shakes his head) I don’t see anyone beyond me. I do have a guide called Mahavatar Babaji but basically He and I are one.
If you are God, then why did you go through the human experience of illusion? Avatars have been born with full knowledge of their divinity at the time of their birth.
Every incarnation functions as per the purpose of that incarnation and the need of that time. In all my previous incarnations I have functioned from my highest self. I could never know what a human being feels when he falls sick, gets rejected, feels hurt, suffers losses, and faces failure. In this incarnation, I wanted to experience the human condition in order to understand it. So I arranged for a temporary illusion to cover me and also for the stagewise revelation of my true nature through Mahavatar Babaji.
What is your past-life relationship with Mahavatar Babaji?
Mahavatar Babaji has been on Earth for 5,000 years. I met him in his previous lifetimes once and we discussed the human evolution and the ways in which masters can guide. It was agreed that we would share a master-disciple relationship in this age. Right now Mahavatar Babaji is guiding through 54 people initiated by Him on planet Earth. But his way of functioning through all of them is different and depends on the purpose of that being. Someone is awakening people through Kriya yoga, someone is teaching meditation, someone else is teaching mantras. With me, no tools are required. You simply have to be in my presence and you will see the change in yourself.
People claim a phenomenal change in themselves after coming in touch with you. How do you do it?
(Laughs). What does sugar do? It sweetens everything it touches. You cannot ask sugar why it is sweet. The same is for me. It is my nature to boost divinity in people.
Can you give self-realization to people?
Yes, I can give self-realization.
But gurus say that it is not possible for anybody to give self-realization to others.
Now they will see it happening over here, with me.
But can anybody reach this stage with you or only those with a certain kind of spiritual history?
Anybody coming to me will see a change in himself.
You say that good times are coming and it cannot be prevented. People who have worked for these times earlier have been reborn to taste the fruit of their labor. Can you shed some more light on this?
Previously many good souls, especially those trying hard to work in harmony with divine laws had the vision of seeing something positive in the world, but because of the time, it was not happening. So there was no result for the work they did at that time. Ever since the wheel of time turned in a positive direction, they began to take birth since they were all waiting for this moment. Their birth at this time is to enjoy the benefits of labor they did previously. You will find many such good souls around you.
You once talked about one world and one religion. Do you agree that so many religions create problems among people?
In this world, the fight is only over the concept of religion. My God will love in my way and your God will love in your way and then there is a fight over these issues. In the coming years, all the confusing things which have polluted the scriptures will be wiped out. Only absolute truth will remain.
How will it happen? Attachment to outdated religious doctrines appears to be the biggest roadblock to human evolution.
When the sun is down it is very difficult to see things. When the sun rises there is no need for artificial lighting. In the same way, when the dark ages are there, it is very difficult to distinguish good from bad but as the Golden Era enters, all false things get wiped out naturally.
All religions are good. The lack of understanding of religion is causing problems right now, and there is no one who can give proper understanding to people. Ideally, in one single life, you should be able to experience all the religions. Then a person should be able to decide which religion he is more in sync with and follow it. It is the communities that have made it a stricture that you cannot change the religion you have been born into. The good things in religion have been altered and observation of rituals has been made more important than the essence of religion. If a Christian does not read the Bible but relates to Jesus Christ deeply is he, not a Christian? If a Hindu does not practice the essence of Hinduism which is Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam (the world is one family) is he a true Hindu? All the religions should help you to grow from within. Understand religion well. Clear the concepts about religion. Take up one concept of religion and study it well.
Apart from transformation is there any other aim and purpose of Maitribodh Parivaar?
Yes. It is the establishment of one world, one community, and one truth. When I went to Europe a few months ago a woman cried copiously when I was departing, saying that I belonged to India and was going back there. I felt bad to see that nationalities have created barriers between people. I belong to the entire human race, to the whole planet. I only happen to be born in India. My entire work is of 200 years. It has been divided into four arms, 1) Transformation of self 2) Dissolution of ignorance 3) Liberation of the individual 4) Establishment of love and truth. It will put good and bad in separate spaces. The good people of all religions will come together on one side.
What is the greatest hurdle in the path of your mission?
The greatest hurdle is the unwillingness of people to change. People want to enjoy divinity but do not want to change. If they do not listen they have to go through the same mistakes which they have done before. And in such cases, I cannot do anything. I have to wait until they are ready to change. I request people to be willing to change. I will take care after that. People are very unaware that speaking ill about anyone is not a spiritual quality. Any person who is worshipping God but speaking ill about anyone cannot be a true pundit or priest.
What is the future of the human race and this planet?
Great. It is going to be a lot of fun. Very bright under the umbrella of the Divine. There would be no separation, no communities, no injustices happening in the world. In that period everyone would be strongly aware of the presence of divinity.
The human race crossed Kalyuga in the year 2012. People related it with a mystical event that did not happen, but changes did take place and were independent of any mystical happening. Right now we are in the initial phase of Satyuga. This Satyuga will not be like the Satyuga of yore where you had rishis sitting under trees and meditating. The energies would be the same but the manifestation would be different. For example, cars would be there but they would be made in such a way that they do not pollute the environment. Similarly for other technologies. There are some major events that are lined up to take place. They would be revealed to people at the right time. The year 2032 is a good time to witness what I have said. The positivity and the goodness of the times would be in full manifestation.
What do you have to say about the ills of the present time?
The existing system will try very hard to resist being dislodged. The more good energies spread on the planet, the more negative energies become desperate to hold their ground. What you see is a reflection of that struggle. I request everyone to join hands and pray for the suffering of humanity. Conditions in Syria and Iraq are very bad. Girls are unable to step out of their homes.
Recently an Indian guru went there to help them. Do you also plan to go?
I do not need to go there physically to help people. I can do it from here as well but for that I need prayers. Prayers give me the reason to intervene – the power to act. Otherwise, I can only watch it. I cannot break the rules I have created myself. If a lawmaker breaks the law then who will uphold it? I request Life Positive to start a prayer section where people can send prayers for causes they feel strongly about. I urge people to wake up and start taking responsibility for the ills around them. You can no longer ignore the call of the helpless. Today, you may be feeling safe within your homes thinking that by closing your door you are shutting out the problems but you never know when they will come knocking at your door as well.

Sevak: My question is this Dadashreeji. Nowadays there are many youngsters who are victims of addiction. Alcohol addiction. Drugs addiction. In fact, the very big addiction of this current time screen addiction. So my question is does this addiction arise out of the sanskāras within us? Does it stem from there? And if yes, can spiritual practices remove these sanskāras? Dadashreeji, I just want to add one more question. The bottom line is; what can an addict do to come out of his addiction?
Dadashreeji: This is a very good question. Now you said drug addiction, you also said screen addiction. This is an industry. This is a proper business which promotes it and is running in the system. It is all over the world. This is not only a problem of the country. It is a problem of the whole human race. Especially the youngsters, the young generation, are stuck. This is a fact; It’s a truth. We've been in denial for a long time. But that quantum, that percentage is increasing with time. What you see on TV, especially I am talking about drug addiction. The youngsters we see in sports. It is seen in education. We also have youth affected in the entertainment fields. But the main truth here is that most of the numbers are involved with drugs somewhere or another & this cannot be generalized. It is prevelant in cities as well as in the rural areas. This is the problem. The first thing that has to be accepted by all of us (the entire human race) is that our young generation is really trapped in this problem. All over the country and also outside the country. When we talk about within the country, we have to correct it. First you have to make a resolution to solve this problem.
We have also made a resolution and there are many such centres, they too have been working on this for years. And while doing this the person who is affected, firstly has to have the feeling that “I have to be free from this”. That's the first step. When that is done then you can follow the second and third steps. All organizations or families have to come together to bring the persons who are stuck; to the first step where he accepts it. “I have this problem and I want to get out of it”. Then we will fix it.
According to me everyone in the country will have to get behind this, will have to work on a priority basis. That all the centres or institutions that will have to be united, everyone has to come together and fix this. People have to be freed, especially the youngsters. And how to fix it is the next step. Firstly, understand that I have to get out of this. Treatment is the second part. In treatment, you do counselling, you talk and explain. That too can help. The second is medical treatment. They can be cured to some extent even with medicines. The third is spiritual practice. There are different meditationalpractices which if you do, you can get out of it and the fourth is spiritual processes(kriya). If you do that then you can come out of this. Or you do all of them together then you can come out of it.
So what should happen is that someone talks to them, does counseling, prescribe the necessary medicines. The third which should be given is meditation. Meditation is different as compared to a process. The process that we talk about is the process that works on the source of that addiction; the root because of which you are addicted and tries to cure it. When you remove the root properly from where the problem arises -the root point, then the very desire to do substance abuse or drugs or intoxication will end automatically for ever. Even if you see the substance, the thoughts might also come but it will not become a habit.
So it is possible since it is connected to our culture, the surrounding environment affects you. Like a good environment affects you positively, similarly a negative environment also affects you. So we have to reach out and guide our children, our youngsters to walk ahead andprogress. Then it can be completely cured or corrected. We can fix it and it is important for its a part of our culture and we definitely try from our side and will continue to do so. So view this as an addiction, specifically drug addiction and not just as screen addiction. It is an addiction; it is a habit. It's a bad habit. That bad habit has to be removed from within. It has to be removed from the very root. If removed, then ourwork is done and it will be fine. Will be fine forever. So whose is the next question?
Sevak: Dada Pranaam. The question that was asked, and what you have told that there are some processes or activities. Are there any from the Maitri Bodh family, that the human race can get benefit from them?
Dada: See when the MaitriBodh Parivaar works, we view the root of the problem right from the beginning. Whatever the cause, whatever is the root cause of your problem, we are constantly try to fix it. As you know that when I started, the beginning was as a medical doctor. Being a part of the process of being a medical doctor, I felt that I have a limitation in healing people. I am only able to heal the body and to some extent the mind but I am not able to go beyond that. My spiritual practice started to understand what lay ahead. So, today when the MaitriBodh Parivaar looks at any kind of situation, when we see a challenge, we try to go to the source of the problem. Where is it starting, let's fix that by goingstraight in.
An example of that is when we do the Beej Sanskaar Kriya (process). The Beej Sanskaar is the process, the process of correcting that seed itself. Where there is some fault in the seed itself, that seed has to be replaced. When that feeling is removed, the feeling to have something as an addiction any substance; the root point of that feeling has to be removed.
It’s like an operation. You know when an operation is conducted in an operation theatre. You see it straight away physically, then you remove it. That is the Beej Kriya which goes to the root cause and removes it. That's how a person becomes free. So when you see this, you will be able to experience it yourself.
Question #2
Dadashreeji: Namaste.
The role that has been given to women in household life is to take care of the home, to take care of the people of the home. Today’s woman is taking care of the home, doing outside work, the children and family. They are doing a lot and despite doing so much, it is becoming difficult to meet expectations. While working for everyone, somewhere the woman is losing herself. She can't do anything for herself. So how can she prioritize herself and how can she meet the expectations of the family?
Dadashreeji: See when you look at it as a woman. In the beginning also you said that you have been given the task of taking care of the home. Who is the one who has given you this job? Who told you that you have to take care of the home or is it because you thought of doing so that's why you are doing it or was it because you saw this happening in your mother or your relative’s house that's why you are doing it?But it has not been written anywhere that you should do this work? Society runs in the way which is convenient for it. So you should do what you think is right. Be it a man or a woman, whatever feels right to you, you must do it. You don't have to wait for anything for this. Start and move forward.
Now the second thing that you said that there is an expectation; how should we fulfill the expectations of your family members you live whom you live with. A simple answer to this is that you cannot fulfill anyone's expectations completely. You cannot give a complete solution to anyone. Expectations will only increase. The more you do, the more you will have to give, and it grows. It’s similar to when you pray to God where one wish is fulfilled then another wishsprings forth. If there is a second, there is a third wish. Similarly, the human mind is the same in your home. The more you give, the person in front of you will keep asking for more. There is no end to this. Be it 50 years old, 60 years old or 70 years old, your family members will keep asking for more from you. There is no full stop here. So what should you do here? You do what you can. As much as you can; give the best from your side, you do it or if it is your duty. Leave what you are not able to do. Don't sit with unnecessary tension. I could not do this could not do that. How long will you keep pulling on and flowing like this?
Somewhere you have to face the truth that this is all I am ableto do. I cannot do more than this. Draw a line there, that's all. And that is your duty. This is your duty, your responsibility. Look at it in this way and when you keep doing this, your way will automatically open up. What do you want to do with your life now? If you have any aspirations, an ambition that I have to do this and also have family duties, then talk to your family members. Keep open communication. Have a dialogue. Tell them I have to do this. So in every situation no matter how complex the situation, a solution emerges from it. There is always a solution. If your ambition is very strong or the inner voice which emanates from the heart if it is strong. It says you have to do this then you have to follow that voice. You have to go with that voice. This is the solution and it can be solved through communication. Can be resolved through dialogue. It can be solved by saying it properly. So you will follow the voice that comes from within. Things will automatically become the way you want them to be. Somewhere it may happen immediately. Somewhere it may take time. But you don't have to force yourself. Do not sit crying. From here you have to keep trying to move forward. This is the solution. From this you will be able to move forward. Okay? Thank you.

Episode #2 MaitriBodh series with Maitreya Dadashreeji on purpose of life, financial dealings & more
In MaitriBodh Series
Translation
#stagesoflife #renunciation
Sevak: Dadashreeji Pranaam. In the some religious systems, four ashrams (stages of life) have been mentioned. Brahmacharya Ashram, Grahastha Ashram, Vanaprastha and then SanyasAshram. According to the popular belief probably an intervalof twenty-five years has been given for each. So when we were associated with an ashram like yours with the MaitriBodh family. Comments used to come about us that it is not yet your age of moving towards this direction. Is it necessary, we should have our inclination towards spirituality or God only after coming to the age of moving into the Vanaprastha Ashram? Can we not do so earlier?
Dada: This is a very good question. If you see, everything starts with Brahmacharya. Or we can start from Sanyas Ashram. What is its purpose and what is the purpose of Vanaprastha Ashram or what is the purpose of GrahasthaAshram? Think about it. Where are you going to reach from Brahmacharya or Sanyas Ashram from Grahastha Ashram?Whom are you going to reach? To the Divine. To get close to the Divine from Vanaprastha Ashram. These four are the arrangements or the stages of life. It is only to experience the Divine that these arrangements have been made according to age. As you said, on the basis of 25-25 years per stage. So it was made so at that time when society was run by pundits, the people the representative who gave direction and were itsrepresentatives, so that society could be stable and run in this way.
So the thinking is also correct and according to age and according to work. It is not like that you have gone to the jungle now so you will attain the Divine now. But how many people have attained the Divine while living in the house?You people get a little confused because of this. Vanaprasthaashram doesn’t mean that God will be found only if you go to the forest. Who has put this idea in your mind? So, is there is no Divine in the Grahastha? Yes, He is there as well. Worship is done in the Grahastha (householder's) ashram as well. All the sanskāras that are there, they start from childhood. So when you are doing worship while living in the Grahastha Ashram, you are definitely reaching the Divine. So what about that? So, you do the same worship even now. Living with any Guruji, joining an Ashram, following any sect, you attain the Divine. You don't do anything different. This system of society is different. This is the system. It is not directly related to God in the way that people are telling you. God is always with you all the time right from childhood. And today is the time for everyone to experience God at every moment at this very moment. So, many children take sanyaas(renunciation). In 25 years, in 20 years, in 14 years, in 15 years, children are leading their whole life in the same way after taking sanyaas. We will be connected to God only. So anything can happen to anyone.
Whatever is happening to you is happening by the will of God. That's why you are doing what you are doing because of that desire. Whatever he is doing, is doing so because of his own free will. Only when they feel that they have to bring about that change. Bringing an improvement is to make a good person, so where will he go? To God. Through one or the other medium but, you have to reach there. That is the direction. That is the truth. So we have to understand that this social system is different and God's system is different. Understand this. It's okay isn't it? It's as simple as that. This is math. If mathematics is understood a little clearly, then life becomes easier. Good? Anyone?
Question #2 #financialchallenges #spiritualityandfinances
Sevak: My question is, there is lack of money with someone. There is lack of money in someone’s life or there is bitterness in the relationship. Or whoever it is, it is supposed to be that he would have a long life but with lack of money. He lives in that feeling that there is no money, there is no money. Don't have money. The question is, how should he relate to or behave towards money? How should he think about money in his daily life? He always keeps thinking about the lack. I don't have money. Don't have money. He keeps on thinking of lacking in everything. So how should his relationship which is about money or that related with money be?
Dadashreeji responds: See the situations manifest according to your attitude. If there is a lack in your feelings, then there will be a lack in circumstances as well. So what does lack of emotion mean? That means that inside of me I am thinking that I have no money. So you have already said in the beginning of your speech within yourself that there is lack of money. So, now there is this thinking that there is a lack. Now there are many millionaires, there are very rich people in the country. When we talk to a millionaire, he also says that he has no money. He also says, there is no money while talking but when I meet the villagers, they say “yes it is fine, we are doing well. They say that we are making a living. We are happy. Everything is fine”. Now tell me where is the lack? In thinking. There is a lack in the thinking. No matter how rich you become, you will say that I do not have money, no money. Don't have money. So it will keep on. There are 200 crores in the account, 300 crores, still you are poor inside. Don't have money. There is no money. There is no money. Why are you making yourself mentally poor? You are saying this to yourself. So whatever you think will continue to happen to you. Then the money will come and go. If Lakshmi Maa Lakshmi is happy with you and comes to you with money and you say that I do not have money. She will say okay, then I will go. Isn't it?
When you say “I have money” then the sound reaches Maa Lakshmi. Arrey paise hai, means we are inviting the money, we are inviting it. There is money, there is money, there is money, then Lakshmi also comes saying “If you have money then take more money”. No money no no no money then no no no no no it goes away. Isn’t it? You are rich as well as poor because of your own feelings. Just give up that thought. Today you have to think that I have as much money as I want, I have money. You have to live life with this thought. Injustice is not done to anyone. Why do you face problems? If you see someone else, he has it. I don't have. Everything ends right there. It’s over right here isn’t it? They also have millions and millions of people above you. If you keep looking at everyone, you will keep crying for the rest of your life. Isn't it? You have to see how many people there are below you who really do not have money and where does your money go? For comfort. For luxury. Does poor mean such people who own four vehicles? They have 4 vehicles, own a big bungalow. A proper nice house. They have a servant, a driver, but he is poor. Really I have met people like this. Dada I don't have money. Then what is all this? This truth has to be faced. You also get the feeling that there is money. Lakshmi is there. Money means Lakshmi.
For example, it is said that if there is money then there is also Maa Lakshmi. If Maa Lakshmi is there, then her place also gets created. Grace will automatically shower down. See how do you help yourself just with the power of thought. When will you become rich? When will you become rich and when will you think of this? When will you become rich? Now. Because your wealth is not based on money externally. You and I have just become rich. Become rich by thinking. Money will come and go, what difference does it make? There will be no dearth of anything in life. These are the games of the mind, which goes on. Today we have everything. Just think what don't you have? Everything is there.
If the whole world is our family, then we have everything. Not having it is just a game of your mind. Stop playing that game. Isn't it? And look at the truth. Congratulations. Happy? There is so much happiness on your faces now that you are rich. Will make phone calls now. How much money is needed? How must? Will distribute to people. We will give loan now. Hey, you have only ₹ 100 in your account. No no, I will give you thousand rupees. Really try this experiment. You have this power in your mind. You have a hundred rupees, and you tell someone that “I will give you a thousand”. A thousand rupees will reach you and you will give it.
People don't see this, don't understand. When you will understand this, then the whole secret of the world, the hidden secret will be revealed to you completely. Then you will understand how to live. I have never cried about money in my life. I am happy the way I am and I want all of you to understand this. Whatever has to reach me; reaches me. When it reaches, it is enough for me. You have to keep this thought.
There was a time when I was working as a doctor long ago. Then at that time my friend who was going to get married came to meet me one day before the wedding. He suddenly came to meet me one day before his marriage and told me that “I am getting married tomorrow and I have no money”. So I said “what is to be done”? Then he said, “can you help me”? I said “ok I have so much money”. He said “please give it to me and whenever I get a chance, I will return the money to you”. Then I took my friend to the ATM machine to withdraw. That's why I don't know how the ATM functions, it's all online. Took him to the ATM and in front of him I withdrew money with the help of my card. I withdrew all the money from the account and told him “look this is my account slip. It has zero balance and I gave you as much as I had.” After that I never called him and didn't ask for the money to be returned. Because he needed it and I didn't cry that “I don't have it”. I have a family. Everyone has to be handled. You know I live with family. I am not a monk. I live with my family. I can teach you how to live in the family life because I have my own family. So when I experience the spiritual truth while living with the family, only then will I be able to tell you. If I was a monk how could I tell you how you can experience the spiritual state while living in the world while living with people.
My Guru ji has taught me, “that while living in the world, being a worldly person, you will convey this truth to the people”. When I helped that person, helped my friend, we didn’t meet for five, six, seven years. There came a moment when I did not have a vehicle to come to the ashram. There was no vehicle to come from where I live. I did not have a vehicle to come to the ashram. We used to come by bus. Then we used to come in a Tum Tum (autorickshaw). Then later everyone thought that we should buy a small car. So that was the first car.
So this was the first and many of you have seen the car. When I took the car for the first time and the travel agent through whom we were taking the car told our friend that he was taking a car for Dadashreeji. The friend said that I owe Dadashreeji a favour as He had helped me. “I would pay for the processing costs of this vehicle myself”. He was asked “when did he help you”? He replied “when I got married, Dada had given me money and after that Dada did not ask for the money. And today I have got a chance to help Him, so I will pay for the processing cost myself”.
It happened automatically. I didn't expect this. So when you give something to someone, do something; leave it. If your intention is pure then it will reach back to you. The problem is that you need a shortcut. I have given the money; I want the return in 3 days. This is where you get stuck. No one is ready to invest time. You will learn that by investing time you will see things growing properly. Everyone is in a hurry here. Don't know where to go. But everyone is running, running, running. I don't know where and what I will get, but I have to get something. Something has to be achieved. But you ask, whatever is going on around you more money is needed and more money is needed. Why do you need more money? There is no money and he keeps on crying. And even after getting the money, they keep on crying. We don't want to cry. So today we are who we are. If you live with this attitude, you will be happy and blissful forever so be happy enjoy life.

Healing has been an integral part of #holistic health. It has been defined in scientific literature as "the process of bringing together aspects of one's self, body-mind-spirit, at deeper levels of inner knowing, leading toward integration and balance, with each aspect having equal importance and value." There are several modalities of healing for one's physical and mental well-being. One such unique powerful modality devised by Maitrey Dadashreeji is Maitri Light, which is a combination of heartfelt prayer and powerful healing energy affectionately called a "Prayling" process.
