Kalyanmitra Kalling

---

After endearingly reaching out to devotees across the world through the Virtual Tour 2020, like a true friend wishing their spiritual welfare Pujya Gurudevshri reached out to the Mumbai based Arpit families. His all-encompassing care inundated them through interactions aptly named, ‘Kalyanmitra Kalling’.

Privileged to having monthly satsangs with Pujya Gurudevshri at the Mission’s Mumbai Spiritual Centre, it had been seven months since they had last met Him. Emotions of love, joy, ecstasy as well as the yearning emerged during these calls. His compassion, care and wisdom spiritually recharged them and nourished their devotion.

Three…Two…One… And the face of every youngster beamed with inexpressible joy on beholding Pujya Gurudevshri! Yuvarpit hearts thumped with excitement as they got on the best date of their life – a coffee date with their beloved Master.

From singing romantic songs to reciting tongue twisters the Master engaged the youth in an interesting game. Solemnizing their relationship with the Master, the Yuvarpit group offered a silver coin dated V.S. 1956, an engagement ring for Divine union and a master kit for the much-awaited Raj Gita – an exposition on Shri Atmasiddhi Shastra. Blessing the Yuvarpits with pure love Pujya Gurudevshri said “With a relationship based on knowledge and no love, you will not be able to walk one mile on the path of liberation with your Guru. But, with true love for the Guru you will travel hundreds of miles”

Based on the theme of the Sadguru coming into our lives like a cyclone thereby changing everything, the Master’s call with His Jivanarpits effortlessly bridged the distance between Dharampur and Mumbai.

Youngsters renewed their bond with Param Krupalu Dev and Pujya Gurudevshri through various games centred around the Raj Katha. In this context the Master said that Bhaktaratna Pujyashri Juthabhai attained great spiritual heights at such a young age as theirs, reminding them of their principal goal of inner growth. Some members sang for Him, while some danced; some hearts cried for Him while some smiled with Him. His guidance, “Alone you will not be able to solve your problems, but with Guru you will,” will remain etched in their hearts. The Jivanarpit group lovingly offered the Pujan material for the Raj Gita to Pujya Gurudevshri. The delightful call culminated with His beautiful virtual hug to all.

Locked in His divine love, Hridayarpit group members sent across a heart for their beloved Master along with a key; signifying that the key to each of their hearts would be with Him forever.

Through a lively interaction of making choices in reference with Pujya Gurudevshri and sharing reasons behind it, the Master strengthened their connection. He heartily appreciated various Hridayarpits for their selfless seva in the COVID-19 relief activities. Pujya Gurudevshri lovingly taught the Hridayarpits to live each day with positivity as He said “Param Krupalu Dev has showed us how to add silver edges around the clouds which float in our life.” The Hridayarpit group members offered a contribution of Rs1,42,000 representing the 142 immortal verses of Shri Atmasiddhi Shastra. The Master blessed masks for Hridayarpits and graced them with a message, “Develop depth of the heart and height of the head.”

Recreating the space as Mumbai, the Sarvarpits aptly addressed their call with their beloved Master as – ‘Mumbai ki Shaan, Sarvarpit ki Jaan – Bapaji’.

Sarvarpits across the multiple screens joyously danced and did arti. On behalf of all of them an orange khes with the sacred name ‘Raj’ was offered to the Master. Through a game based on places in Mumbai sanctified by Pujya Gurudevshri, the devotees shared their heartfelt experiences. Atmarpit Nemiji acknowledged the selfless service offered by Sarvarpits during the COVID-19 relief activities.The call ended beautifully with Pujya Gurudevshri signing the birth chart of Sarvarpits writing “Param Krupalu Dev Nu Sharan Sarthak Ho. Revolutionise your attitude towards the world, by total reorientation of your belief.”

Symbolising the fact that the shelter of Param Krupalu Dev and Pujya Gurudevshri has added a festive dimension to their lives, the Sharnarpits chose to celebrate various festivals over their call with the theme ‘Utsav Aaya’!

Sharnarpits offered a khes to Pujya Gurudevshri and the call began with the Master playing dandiya with Atmarpit Nemiji. Through an informal expression of feelings and emotions, Sharnarpits connected deeply with the Master. Pujya Gurudevshri advised them to understand themselves deeper and better. Sevaks offering seva during the pandemic were warmly felicitated on the call. Expounding on His idea of a true sevak, Pujya Gurudevshri said “As a sevak you should never want to be seen or shown, appreciated or acknowledged or not even want to be known.” Honouring 125 years of Shri Atmasiddhi Shastra, the Sharnarpits offered a red turban and khes for Param Krupalu Dev. They also freed 600 animals from going to slaughterhouses.

Melting numerous hearts in devotion and proving that absence makes the heart grow fonder, Pujya Gurudevshri instilled in each devotee the passion to work steadily for that one strong reason of Self Realisation.
