<img align="right" border="0" height="220" hspace="8" src="http://www.almazhar.com/images/img_h_baqi_billah.jpg" width="182" />Khawaja
Baqi Billah was the originator and pioneer of the
Naqshbandia Order in the sub-continent. His name was
Razi-ud-Din Muhammad Baqi but he was commonly known as
Khwaja Baqi Billah His father Qazi Abdul Salam
Khilgi, Samarkandi Qureshi was a famous scholar and
saint of Kabul. KHAWAJA BAQI BILLAH was born at Kabul in
971A.H or 1563A.D. His lineage reaches Kh. Ubaid Ullah
Ahrar R.A. through his maternal grandfather. His
grandmother came of a Syed family. Hazrat Baqi Billah was admitted to the school of Khawaja Saad at five
to learn the Holy Quran. He learnt by heart when he was
eight years old. After getting elementary education, he
went to Maulana Sadiq Hilvahi R.A.., a famous scholar at
the age of 30. <br />
<br />
Saintliness was reflected from his face from his early
childhood. He liked solitude and simple life. He went to
Mavara-un-Nahr, which was considered as the centre of
Muslim saints at that time. There he met a large number
of Sufis and Saint from whom he gathered a lot of
spiritual knowledge. Firstly, he attended Khawaja Ubaid
R.A. a spiritual caliph of Maulana Lutf Ullah but he was
not satisfied. Then he stayed with Hazrat Sheikh
Samarkandi who prayed for him but even in his company he
did not get the requisite satisfaction. Thereafter, he
attended the company of Hazrat Ameer Abdullah Balkhi R.A.
from whom he got a little peace of mind. <br />
<br />
During the period of learning, he was going through a
book on Sufisim. Suddenly, he saw that the place was
illuminated with light. He saw that Khawaja Baha-ud-Din
Nashbandi R.A. was standing before him and showering
spiritual favour on him. <br />
<br />
After this incident, his heart was filled with the love
of Allah and the Holy Prophet Sallalaho Alyhe Wasalam.
He wandered from Central Asia to India He traveled to
Lahore and Multan on foot. Once, when he was offering
prayers in a mosque at Lahore, a terrible voice rose
from his heart. All the people in the mosque felt
terrified. Hazrat Khawaja left the mosque at once after
completing his prayers. One of his devotees narrated
that, once, when Hazrat Khawaja R.A. was leading
prayers, he was looking to Qibla as well as to the
people behind. After the prayers Hazrat Khawaja Sahib
R.A. advised his devotees not to divulge this secret to
anyone else. <br />
<br />
Hazrat Khawaja Baqi Billah was blessed with great
spiritual qualities because of his extra-ordinary love
for and obedience to the Holy Prophet Sallalaho Alyhe
Wasalam once related that a painful voice came out of
the holy heart of the Holy Prophet Sallalaho Alyhe
Wasalam while he was offering the prayers. He could see
before himself and behind himself at one and the same
time. <br />
<br />
Hazrat Khawaja Baqi Billah once travelled to
Mavara-ur-Nahr. On his way, he dreamt that Hazrat
Khawaja Amkangi R.A. was calling him and waiting for him
anxiously. So, he went to see him at his abode and
stayed there for three days. Khawaja Amkangi R.A.
blessed him with his Khilafat (spiritual caliphate) and
said: <br />
<br />
"Go to India because this Order (Naqshbandia Silsila)
will be established there by you" <br />
<br />
Hazrat Khawaja Baqi Billah humbly said to his
spiritual guide that he could not do that difficult
task, but Khawaja Amkangi R.A. insisted and ordered him
to get guidance from "Istikharah" (prayer for getting
judgment from Allah), Hazrat Khawaja performed "Istikhara".
In a dream he saw a parrot sitting on the branch of a
tree. He thought that if the parrot sat on his hand, he
would consider this journey as a lucky one. No sooner
did this thought flashed across his mind, than the
parrot flew towards him and perched on his hand. Hazrat
Baqi Billah put his saliva into its beak whereas
the parrot put sugar into his mouth.<br />
<br />
<br />
Next morning Hazrat Baqi Billah related the whole
dream to his guide, who said that he should act in the
light of the Istkhara. So, his guide ordered him to
leave for India at once. Under the instructions of his
guide, he travelled to India and stayed at Lahore for a
year. Here a lot of scholars and nobles of the city met
him and got spiritual blessings from him. Then he
proceeded to Delhi and stayed at Qilla Ferozabad. It was
a beautiful place situated on the band of River Jamna.
He set up his dwelling in a mosque over there. <b></b><br />
<br />
"Emperor Akbar's reign (1556-1605) was mostly marked
with denial and heresy. In the beginning. Akbar was a
Sunni Muslim but under the influence of his tutor Abtul
Latif he adopted very liberal views and became a liberal
thinker. During his reign he was surrounded by Hindu
nobles and scholars as well as by his Hindu wives who
had influenced his religious views to a great extent.
Faizi and Abw-al-Fazal, two of his couriers, had wormed
themselves into his confidence. They enjoyed his
patronage, and adroitly influenced and determined his
views. Unique in learning and scholarship, they were
selfish, and intent upon worldly gains. Asna-Ashrite (a
sect of Shite) in their religious views, they did not
like that the Sunni Ulama, by gaining the emperor's
confidence, should gain precedence over them.
Accordingly, they persuaded the ignorant king to
introduce Din-i-Ilahi, (Divine monotheism) in the year
1581 A.D, investing him with the rank of a prophet, and
Abu-al-Fazl becoming the vice-regent in this respect.
Before his evil influence, Akbar held the Ulama in deep
respect. As is well known, Jahangir was born in response
to Sheikh Salim Chistee's prayer in whom Akbar had
profound faith. He also went on foot from Agra to Ajmer
for thanks-giving at Khwaja Muinuddin Chistee's Dargah
and to reiterate his faith in him. But after the
introduction of Din-i-Ilahi, he tried to deform Islam.
Like the Hindus, he marked his forehead with the Qashqa
(to mark forehead), worshipped the sun, and married
daughters of the Hindu Rajas and kept dogs and pigs as
pets. Instigated by Abu Al-Fazl, he asked the Ulama to
subscribe to Din-i-Ilahi, and on their refusal, they
were expelled from the court. All the same, there were
some self-seeking Ulama who embraced Din-i-Ilahi and
issued Fatawas (decrees) in support of Akbar's
anti-Islamic activities. They accepted him as the
supreme head of religion and grand arbiter in spiritual
and religious controversies." <br />
<br />
Hazrat Khwaja Baqi Billah strengthened the
Naqshbandia Order in India. His contacts with the
nobility of the Mughal Empire proved useful for the
reformation of the Muslims of India. He took bold steps
and played a heroic role to stop the prevailing heresy
known as Din-i-Ilahi. His writings and counsels
encouraged the people to combat this very innovation.
The nobility also favoured him and he used their power
for the betterment of the Muslims. He stressed on Sharia
during the whole of his life and influenced the people
by virtue of his piety and his strict adherence to the
Sunnah. He preferred Sharia to Tariqah (Sufism) and
reformed the Sufis and Ulama of that time. Khwaja
Muhammad Kishmi, a disciple of Hazrat Mujaddid Alif Sani,
writes about the achievements of Hazrat Baqi Billah as under: <br />
<br />
“Probably his greatest achievement is that in two or
three years, he firmly established the Naqshbandi Order
in India, whereas others of the same Order lagged behind
and worked for many years". <br />
<br />
<b>A tribute higher than, the following one paid by
Hazrat Mujaddid Ali Sani R.A. to Hazrat Baqi Billah cannot be paid to any one else:<br />
</b><br />
"I am convinced that such training as I received from
him has hardly been given by anyone else after the Holy
Prophet Salallaho Alyhe Wasalam. I did not enjoy the
Prophet's company but I thank Allah, I was not denied
the honour of Khwaja Baqi Billah's R.A. Company." <br />
<br />
In fact, extra-ordinarily firm faith in the supremacy of
God Almighty and strict adherence to Sunnah had elevated
Hazrat Baqi Billah to such heights of spiritual
excellence as could not be attained by any other saint
of the Naqashbandi Order. He is indisputably, reckoned
to be the greatest herald and torch-bearer of the Order,
which he practised. He is incomparable and a class apart
in his own line <br />
<br />
All words, deeds and actions of Hazrat Baqi Billah which were in the wake of the Holy Prophet Sallalho
Alyhe Wasalam, worked miracles quite spontaneously. Many
of his miracles, reflecting his immense love for his
fellow beings and exhibiting his sympathy with other
creatures of Allah Almighty adorn the pages of books,
which have been written on him. Since it is difficult to
mention all his miracles in this short article, only a
few of them have been related as under: <br />
<br />
One, late at night, a few guests of Hazrat Baqi Billah came to see him. Since no foodstuff was available
at home, he asked the baker, who held Hazrat Baqi Billah in great esteem and reverence, to serve the guests
as directed. After having served the guests, the baker
appeared before Hazrat Baqi Billah and demanded his
remuneration. Hazrat Sahib asked the baker how much he
was to pay for the dinner. On his own part, he tried to
pay the price of the dinner but the baker declined to
accept the remuneration in terms of money. The baker
requested Hazrat Baqi Billah to make him just like
him. Out of great love, which Hazrat Baqi Billah cherished for his fellow beings. <br />
<br />
Hazrat Baqi Billah took the baker into his (Hujra)
room, embraced him, and transformed him into his own
facimile When Hazrat Baqi Billah and the baker came
out of the room, both of them resembled each other so
closely that it was difficult for the people to
distinguish between the two. The only difference between
them was that whereas the actual Baqi Billah performed his duties, as usual, in a normal way, the
transformed Baqi Billah lay lost in trance. Being unable
to bear the stress of the great spiritual blessing
showered upon him, the baker expired after three days.
<br />
<br />
Another miracle, showing Hazrat Baqi Billah's love for
any sympathy with other creatures of God, deserves
special mention. It is said that one night Hazrat Baqi
Billah after having offered his Tahajad prayers,
stepped towards his bed to take some rest. To his great
surprise, he saw a cat couching in his bed. Blessed and
gifted as Hazrat Baqi Billah was with a kind and
benign heart, he did not disturb the cat. He quietly sat
down on the floor and passed the rest of the night in
the chilly winter, whereas the cat enjoyed a sound sleep
till morning. <br />
<br />
According to Hazrat Khwaja Baqi Billah Tovakkal
(trust in Allah) does not mean that a person should not
earn his living and become idle. This would be an act of
disobedience to Allah. A person should do some work to
earn his living, and should have a strong faith that
only Allah is the Sustainer. Work is just like a source,
mediation or an intersessor. There is a great moral
lesson for our modern youths to learn from the
philosophy and preaching of this great saint. In fact,
according to all Nashbandi Sufis and saints, escape from
the struggle of life is a cowardly and a selfish act.
According to Hazrat Khwaja Baqi Billah R.A a hermit
lives in a world of dreams, whereas to the adventurous
and the brave, this world offers a splendid scope to
struggle for existence. <br />
<br />
<b>Sardar Ali Ahmed Khan, has remarked as under: </b>
<br />
<br />
"Judged by results, the greatest event of the life of
Hazrat Baqi Billah. was the enrolment of Hazrat
Mujaddid Alif Sani as his disciple in 1599."

<img align="left" height="250" hspace="8" src="http://www.almazhar.com/images/h_s_h_baqibillah.jpg" width="130" />Hazrat Khwaja Baqi Billah R.A went his way to eternity
on 25 Jamadi-ul-Sani 1012 A.H. or 1603 A.D. His grave is
situated in Delhi near the Qadam Sharif (foot-prints) of
the Holy Prophet Sallalho Alyhe Wasalam at a platform.
No dorne was constructed over his grave according to his
will. There is no tree to cast a shadow on the grave. In
spite of this, the visitors do not feel the effect of
heat when they stand barefooted beside the grave</div>

<div style="color: purple;">
<b>Khawaja Baqi Billah was the originator and pioneer of the Naqshbandia
Order in the sub-continent. His name was Razi-ud-Din Muhammad Baqi but
he was commonly known as Khwaja Baqi Billah His father Qazi Abdul Salam
Khilgi, Samarkandi Qureshi was a famous scholar and saint of Kabul.
KHAWAJA BAQI BILLAH was born at Kabul in 971A.H or 1563A.D. His lineage
reaches Kh. Ubaid Ullah Ahrar through his maternal grandfather. His
grandmother came of a Syed family. Hazrat Baqi Billah was admitted to
the school of Khawaja Saad at five to learn the Quran. He learnt by
heart when he was eight years old. After getting elementary education,
he went to Maulana Sadiq Hilvahi, a famous scholar at the age of 30.</b>
</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>Saintliness was reflected from his face from his early childhood. He
liked solitude and simple life. He went to Mavara-un-Nahr, which was
considered as the centre of Muslim saints at that time. There he met a
large number of Sufis and Saint from whom he gathered a lot of spiritual
knowledge. Firstly, he attended Khawaja Ubaid a spiritual caliph of
Maulana Lutf Ullah but he was not satisfied. Then he stayed with Hazrat
Sheikh Samarkandi who prayed for him but even in his company he did not
get the requisite satisfaction. Thereafter, he attended the company of
Hazrat Ameer Abdullah Balkhi from whom he got a little peace of mind.</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>During the period of learning, he was going through a book on
Sufisim. Suddenly, he saw that the place was illuminated with light. He
saw that Khawaja Baha-ud-Din Nashbandi was standing before him and
showering spiritual favour on him.</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>After this incident, his heart was filled with the love of Allah and
Muhammad. He wandered from Central Asia to India He traveled to Lahore
and Multan on foot. Once, when he was offering prayers in a mosque at
Lahore, a terrible voice rose from his heart. All the people in the
mosque felt terrified. Hazrat Khawaja left the mosque at once after
completing his prayers. One of his devotees narrated that, once, when
Hazrat Khawaja was leading prayers, he was looking to Qibla as well as
to the people behind. After the prayers Hazrat Khawaja Sahib advised his
devotees not to divulge this secret to anyone else.</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>Hazrat Khawaja Baqi Billah was blessed with great spiritual qualities
because of his extra-ordinary love for and obedience to Muhammad once
related that a painful voice came out of the heart of Muhammad while he
was offering the prayers. He could see before himself and behind himself
at one and the same time.</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>Hazrat Khawaja Baqi Billah once travelled to Mavara-ur-Nahr. On his
way, he dreamt that Hazrat Khawaja Amkangi was calling him and waiting
for him anxiously. So, he went to see him at his abode and stayed there
for three days. Khawaja Amkangi blessed him with his Khilafat (spiritual
caliphate) and said:</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>"Go to India because this Order (Naqshbandia Silsila) will be established there by you"</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>Hazrat Khawaja Baqi Billah humbly said to his spiritual guide that he
could not do that difficult task, but Khawaja Amkangi insisted and
ordered him to get guidance from "Istikharah" (prayer for getting
judgment from Allah), Hazrat Khawaja performed "Istikhara". In a dream
he saw a parrot sitting on the branch of a tree. He thought that if the
parrot sat on his hand, he would consider this journey as a lucky one.
No sooner did this thought flashed across his mind, than the parrot flew
towards him and perched on his hand. Hazrat Baqi Billah put his saliva
into its beak whereas the parrot put sugar into his mouth.</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b><br />
Next morning Hazrat Baqi Billah related the whole dream to his guide,
who said that he should act in the light of the Istkhara. So, his guide
ordered him to leave for India at once. Under the instructions of his
guide, he travelled to India and stayed at Lahore for a year. Here a lot
of scholars and nobles of the city met him and got spiritual blessings
from him. Then he proceeded to Delhi and stayed at Qilla Ferozabad. It
was a beautiful place situated on the band of River Jamna. He set up his
dwelling in a mosque over there.</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>Sardar Ali Ahmed Khan has highlighted the politico-religious trends
of India at the time of Hazrat Khawaja Baqi Billah at page 92 of his
book. "The Naqshbandis" as under:</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>"Emperor Akbar's reign (1556-1605) was mostly marked with denial and
heresy. In the beginning. Akbar was a Sunni Muslim but under the
influence of his tutor Abtul Latif he adopted very liberal views and
became a liberal thinker. During his reign he was surrounded by Hindu
nobles and scholars as well as by his Hindu wives who had influenced his
religious views to a great extent. Faizi and Abw-al-Fazal, two of his
couriers, had wormed themselves into his confidence. They enjoyed his
patronage, and adroitly influenced and determined his views. Unique in
learning and scholarship, they were selfish, and intent upon worldly
gains. Asna-Ashrite (a sect of Shite) in their religious views, they did
not like that the Sunni Ulama, by gaining the emperor's confidence,
should gain precedence over them. Accordingly, they persuaded the
ignorant king to introduce Din-i-Ilahi, (Divine monotheism) in the year
1581 A.D, investing him with the rank of a prophet, and Abu-al-Fazl
becoming the vice-regent in this respect. Before his evil influence,
Akbar held the Ulama in deep respect. As is well known, Jahangir was
born in response to Sheikh Salim Chistee's prayer in whom Akbar had
profound faith. He also went on foot from Agra to Ajmer for
thanks-giving at Khwaja Muinuddin Chistee's Dargah and to reiterate his
faith in him. But after the introduction of Din-i-Ilahi, he tried to
deform Islam. Like the Hindus, he marked his forehead with the Qashqa
(to mark forehead), worshipped the sun, and married daughters of the
Hindu Rajas and kept dogs and pigs as pets. Instigated by Abu Al-Fazl,
he asked the Ulama to subscribe to Din-i-Ilahi, and on their refusal,
they were expelled from the court. All the same, there were some
self-seeking Ulama who embraced Din-i-Ilahi and issued Fatawas (decrees)
in support of Akbar's anti-Islamic activities. They accepted him as the
supreme head of religion and grand arbiter in spiritual and religious
controversies."</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>Hazrat Khwaja Baqi Billah strengthened the Naqshbandia Order in
India. His contacts with the nobility of the Mughal Empire proved useful
for the reformation of the Muslims of India. He took bold steps and
played a heroic role to stop the prevailing heresy known as Din-i-Ilahi.
His writings and counsels encouraged the people to combat this very
innovation. The nobility also favoured him and he used their power for
the betterment of the Muslims. He stressed on Sharia during the whole of
his life and influenced the people by virtue of his piety and his
strict adherence to the Sunnah. He preferred Sharia to Tariqah (Sufism)
and reformed the Sufis and Ulama of that time. Khwaja Muhammad Kishmi, a
disciple of Hazrat Mujaddid Alif Sani, writes about the achievements of
Hazrat Baqi Billah as under:</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>“Probably his greatest achievement is that in two or three years, he
firmly established the Naqshbandi Order in India, whereas others of the
same Order lagged behind and worked for many years".</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>A tribute higher than, the following one paid by Hazrat Mujaddid Ali Sani to Hazrat Baqi Billah cannot be paid to any one else:</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>"I am convinced that such training as I received from him has hardly
been given by anyone else after the Holy Prophet Salallaho Alyhe
Wasalam. I did not enjoy the Prophet's company but I thank Allah, I was
not denied the honour of Khwaja Baqi Billah's R.A. Company."</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>In fact, extra-ordinarily firm faith in the supremacy of God Almighty
and strict adherence to Sunnah had elevated Hazrat Baqi Billah to such
heights of spiritual excellence as could not be attained by any other
saint of the Naqashbandi Order. He is indisputably, reckoned to be the
greatest herald and torch-bearer of the Order, which he practised. He is
incomparable and a class apart in his own line</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>All words, deeds and actions of Hazrat Baqi Billah which were in the
wake of Muhammad, worked miracles quite spontaneously. Many of his
miracles, reflecting his immense love for his fellow beings and
exhibiting his sympathy with other creatures of Allah Almighty adorn the
pages of books, which have been written on him. Since it is difficult
to mention all his miracles in this short article, only a few of them
have been related as under:</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>One, late at night, a few guests of Hazrat Baqi Billah came to see
him. Since no foodstuff was available at home, he asked the baker, who
held Hazrat Baqi Billah in great esteem and reverence, to serve the
guests as directed. After having served the guests, the baker appeared
before Hazrat Baqi Billah and demanded his remuneration. Hazrat Sahib
asked the baker how much he was to pay for the dinner. On his own part,
he tried to pay the price of the dinner but the baker declined to accept
the remuneration in terms of money. The baker requested Hazrat Baqi
Billah to make him just like him. Out of great love, which Hazrat Baqi
Billah cherished for his fellow beings.</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>Hazrat Baqi Billah took the baker into his (Hujra) room, embraced
him, and transformed him into his own facsimile. When Hazrat Baqi Billah
and the baker came out of the room, both of them resembled each other
so closely that it was difficult for the people to distinguish between
the two. The only difference between them was that whereas the actual
Baqi Billah performed his duties, as usual, in a normal way, the
transformed Baqi Billah lay lost in trance. Being unable to bear the
stress of the great spiritual blessing showered upon him, the baker
expired after three days.</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>Another miracle, showing Hazrat Baqi Billah's love for any sympathy
with other creatures of God, deserves special mention. It is said that
one night Hazrat Baqi Billah after having offered his Tahajad prayers,
stepped towards his bed to take some rest. To his great surprise, he saw
a cat couching in his bed. Blessed and gifted as Hazrat Baqi Billah was
with a kind and benign heart, he did not disturb the cat. He quietly
sat down on the floor and passed the rest of the night in the chilly
winter, whereas the cat enjoyed a sound sleep till morning.</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>According to Hazrat Khwaja Baqi Billah Tovakkal (trust in Allah) does
not mean that a person should not earn his living and become idle. This
would be an act of disobedience to Allah. A person should do some work
to earn his living, and should have a strong faith that only Allah is
the Sustainer. Work is just like a source, mediation or an intersessor.
There is a great moral lesson for our modern youths to learn from the
philosophy and preaching of this great saint. In fact, according to all
Nashbandi Sufis and saints, escape from the struggle of life is a
cowardly and a selfish act. According to Hazrat Khwaja Baqi Billah R.A a
hermit lives in a world of dreams, whereas to the adventurous and the
brave, this world offers a splendid scope to struggle for existence.</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>Sardar Ali Ahmed Khan, has remarked as under:</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>"Judged by results, the greatest event of the life of Hazrat Baqi
Billah. was the enrolment of Hazrat Mujaddid Alif Sani as his disciple
in 1599."</b></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>Hazrat Khwaja Baqi Billah R.A went his way to eternity on 25
Jamadi-ul-Sani 1012 A.H. or 1603 A.D. His grave is situated in Delhi
near the Qadam Sharif (foot-prints) of Muhammad at a platform. No dorne
was constructed over his grave according to his will. There is no tree
to cast a shadow on the grave. In spite of this, the visitors do not
feel the effect of heat when they stand barefooted beside the grave.</b></div>

<div>
दीर्घ समयांतराल के पश्चात् कभी कभी एक ऐसा दिव्य व्यक्तित्व हमा<wbr></wbr>रे
बीच में अवतरित होता है जो कि निर्विवाद रूप से किसी दूसरे दिव्य लोक
से आया हुआ एक विलक्षण व्यक्तित्व का स्वामी होता है जो कि उस अति
दूरवर्ती लोक की दीप्ति,महिमा और शक्ति का कुछ अंश इस भौतिक संसार में
लाता है.वह सम्पूर्ण भौतिकवादी मनुष्यों की भांति इस भौतिक संसार में
विचरता है लेकिन वह इस नश्वर भूमि का नहीं है. वह है एक अजनबी, एक
यायावर, सूक्ष्म सत्ता का प्रतिनिधि , जो मात्र एक रात्रि के लिए ही
ठहरता है.</div>
<div>
वह अपने आप को यहाँ के मनुष्यों के साथ में सम्बध्द करता है, उनके
हर्ष विषाद का साथी बनता है. उनके सुख में सुखी और दुःख में दुखी होता है.
परन्तु इन सबके बीच उसको हमेशा स्मरण रहता है कि वह कौन है, कहाँ से आया है
और उसके इस मर्त्य भूमि पर आने का क्या उद्देश्य है? वह कभी अपने दिव्यत्व
को नहीं भूलता. वह हमेशा स्मरण रखता है कि वह तेजस्वी, महान, एवं दिव्य
आत्मा है.वह जानता है कि वह उस परम दिव्य सूक्ष्म क्षेत्र से आया है जहाँ
किसी भौतिक माध्यम की आवश्यकता नहीं हैं क्योंकि वह क्षेत्र स्वतः दिव्य
आलोक से आलोकित है.</div>
<div>
ऐसी ही एक दिव्य दुर्लभ पवित्रात्मा का नाम है पूज्य पाद श्री गुरुदेव
राणा जी साहब, जो कि सभी तुलना से परे हैं क्योंकि वह समस्त साधारण माप
दण्डों और आदर्शों के परे हैं.अन्यान्य लोग ते<wbr></wbr>जस्वी हो सकते हैं
लेकिन पूज्य साहब जी का व्यक्तित्व प्रकाशमय है.साधारण मनुष्यों की भाँति
पूज्यवर ज्ञान के तथाकथित मंथन तक सीमित नहीं है,जो कि पूज्य साहब के जीवन
दर्शन का अवलोकन करने से स्पष्ट द्रष्टिगोचर होता है. अन्य लोग शायद महान
भी हो सकते हैं लेकिन यह तुलनात्मक व्याख्या उनके अपने वर्ग के दूसरे लोगों
की तुलना में ही संभव है. परन्तु ये सब तुलनाएं तार्किक बातें हैं जो आज
के समय में एक बहुत प्रचलित प्रक्रिया का एक हिस्सा है.कोई भी एक संत,
साधारण या आम जनता से से अधिक पुण्यात्मा,पवित्र और निश्छल हो सकता है.</div>
<div>
परन्तु इस सन्दर्भ में अगर हम प्रतिपल स्मरणीय पूज्य गुरुदेव साहब जी
को देखें तो पायेंगे कि उनके सम्बन्ध में कोई तुलना नहीं हो सकती है. पूज्य
गुरुदेव स्वयं अपने एक विशिष्ट वर्ग के हैं. वे उस दिव्य स्तर के हैं जो
हमारी मन बुध्धि और तर्कों से परे है, न कि इस भौतिक सांसारिक स्तर के माप
दण्डों के अनुसार. वह उस सूक्ष्म सत्ता के प्रतिनिधि हैं जो कि एक पूर्व
निर्धारित उद्देश्यों को परिपूर्ण करने के लिए उस सूक्ष्म लोक से इस
नश्वर संसार में अवतरित हुए हैं. कदाचित हममें से कोई शायद ही जान पाया हो
अब वे हमारे मध्य दीर्घकाल तक नहीं रुकेंगे....</div>
<div>
पूज्य गुरुदेव के सानिध्य में मुझे भी अनवरत ४-५ वर्षों तक
रहने का सुअवसर प्राप्त हुआ,और वे घड़ियाँ कब गुजर गयी पता ही नहीं
चला,बस आज एक ही बोध होता है कि मिथकों के अनुसार पारस अपने संपर्क में आने
पर लोहे को सोना बना देता है किन्तु हमारे पूज्य गुरुदेव तो
वो पारस मणि हैं जिनके संपर्क मात्र से ही सभी प्रकार से कल्याण हो जाता है
और उसके लिए लोहा होने की कोई अनिवार्यता भी नहीं है.हमारे सत्संग के
प्रत्येक सत्संगी के ढृढ़ विश्वास की तरह, मेरा भी यह अटूट विश्वास है कि
श्री गुरुदेव की मुझ पर असीम अनुकम्पा रही है और उन्होंने इस अकिंचन के
बड़े से बड़े अपराधों पर पर्दा डाल कर सिर्फ और सिर्फ अपनी अहेतुकी कृपा
और वरदहस्त बनाये रखा है और पूज्य श्री इस असीम अनुकम्पा से आज भी हम
सबका कल्याण कर रहे हैं.</div>
<div>
धन्य है वह धरा जिसने ऐसी परम विभूति को जन्म दिया,धन्य हैं वे लोग जो
पूज्य श्री से लाभान्वित हुए और धन्य हैं वे कुछ लोग जिन्हें उनके पाद
पद्मों में बैठने का सौभाग्य मिला था.ऐसी दिव्य विभूति के आगमन पर प्रकृति
स्वयं आनंद और उल्लास प्रकट करती है और उनके महाप्रयाण पर रूदन और क्रंदन
कर विलाप करती हैं.</div>

Not much is known of his childhood, but Bayazid spent most of his time in isolation in his house and the mosque. Although he remained in isolation, he did not isolate himself from the company of Sufis. He welcomed people into his house to discuss Sufism. Bayazid also led a life of mysticism and asceticism and renounced all worldly pleasures in order to be one with God. Ultimately, this led Bayazid to a state of "self anhiliation", which, according to Sufism, is the only state a person could be in order to be closest with God. Bayazid became known as the first "intoxicated" Sufi because of the openness of his expressions he felt towards God (shatahat). Bayazid is regarded as being one of the most influential mystics of his period.<br /><br />Bayazid Bastami emphasized the importance of ecstasy, referred to in his words as drunkenness (sukr or wajd), a means of self-annihilation in the Divine Presence. Before him, Sufism was mainly based on piety and obedience and he played a major role in placing the concept of divine love at the core of Sufism.<br /><br /> Bastami was one of the first to speak of "annihilation of the self in God" (fana fi 'Allah') and "subsistence through God" (baqa' bi 'Allah). The "annihilation of the self" (fana fi 'Allah') refers to disregarding everything in this world because of one's love towards God. When a person enters the state of fana it is believed that one is closest to God. His paradoxical sayings gained a wide circulation and soon exerted a captivating influence over the minds of students who aspired to understand the meaning of the wahdat al-wujud, Unity of Being.<br />When Bayazid died he was over seventy years old. Before he died, someone asked him his age. He said: "I am four years old. For seventy years I was veiled. I got rid of my veils only four years ago.”<br /><br />One day, a heavenly voice reverberated through the sky to real lover of God, Bayazid Bustami. He heard the ethereal voice saying this, “What you desire, you ask for it, your wish will be fulfilled.” Bayazid was genuine lover of God and did not desire anything except the divine vision of God. He said with humility after bowing his head,”Whatever God wants to give me as per His desire is acceptable to me and I will be indebted to Him for His favour.”<br /><br />That heavenly voice said,” I am very happy with you and grant you both the worlds. We grant you both material and eternal world everything between them. Bayazid was interested in gifts but the Giver of gifts, said,”My God, the giver of everything, knows the desire of my heart.” That heavenly voice echoed,”Bayazid, you ask us from us. If we ask you from you, then ?”<br /><br /> Bayazid understood that this is the voice of his beloved. He cried with ecstasy, “O my beloved, I speak truth with my heart that if you ask me to jump in hell on the judgement day, I will willingly do so. My cold sigh for you will dampen the fire of hell, because I know that fire of hell is just like fire of extinguished coal in front of fire of your love.”<br /><br />Bayazid could not finish his speech and the heavenly voice said, “Bayazid, we promise that you will really witness us when you search for us.”<br /><br />Bayazid memorable quotations:<br /><br />I never saw any lamp shining more brilliantly than the lamp of silence.<br /><br />I went to a wilderness, love had rained and had covered earth, as feet penetrate snow, I found my feet covered with love.<br /><br /> I stood with the pious and I didn’t find any progress with them. I stood with the warriors in the cause and I didn’t find a single step of progress with them. Then I said, ‘O Allah, what is the way to You?’ and Allah said, ‘Leave yourself and come.’</span></h6>Ramashramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09487885305179624069noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1481856959486107452.post-45907188701219140122011-09-01T02:52:00.000-07:002011-09-01T02:55:04.525-07:00सूफ़ी मत का महान केन्द्र : श्री रामाश्रम श्यामनगर<div align="justify">कानपुर- फ़र्रुखाबाद रोड पर काली नदी के सुरम्य पूर्वी तट पर बसा रामाश्रम सूफ़ी संत मत का एक प्रमुखः केन्द्र है। आज विश्व विख्यात रामाश्रम श्यामनगर की स्थापना महान सूफ़ी संत श्री राम सिंहः राणा जी साहब ने की थी। मूलतः रामाश्रम सूफ़ी मत की नक़्शबन्दिआ परम्परा पर आधारित है। रामाश्रम सतसंग का मूल सिद्धान्त आस्था और संस्कृतियों का मिलन है , जो कि उस निराकार परमात्मा की प्राप्ति के लिये दुनिआ को त्यागने या एकान्त प्राप्ति के लिये पहाड या वन मे जाने की आवश्यकता नही है।वरन रामाश्रम सत्संग ग्रहस्थ जीवन का पालन करते हुए समर्थ् सदगुरु की मदद से ईश्वर् प्राप्ति का मार्ग बताता है। इस सिद्धान्त को आगे करते हुए श्री राणाजी साहब् ने रामाश्रम श्यामनगर को अपनी कर्म स्थली के रूप मे चुना और जीवन पर्यन्त मानव मात्र की सेवा मे लगे रहे। पूज्य राणा जी साहब् ने परमार्थ् के प्रति अपनी सोच को अत्यधिक प्रभावशाली तरीके से व्यक्त किया जिसने आपको एक महान सूफ़ी संत के रूप मे गौरवान्वित किया।पूज्य राणाजी साहब् जी ने २० जून २०१० को १०२ वर्ष की आयु मे महा समाधि ले ली। राणा जी साहब् का समाधि मन्दिर श्री रामाश्रम मे बना हुआ है जो कि आज समस्त भारत वर्ष एवं विदेशों मे उनके अनुयायियों के बीच गहन श्रद्धा का केन्द्र है।राणा जी साहब् का समाधि मन्दिर एक बडे प्रागन के मध्य मे स्थित है।जहां आने वाले हर श्रद्धालु को एक अनिर्वचनीय आनन्द एवं शान्ति की प्राप्ति होती है।समाधि के साथ् मे लगा हुआ भवन् बना हुआ है, जो कि जीवन पर्यन्त श्री राणा जी का निवास् स्थान रहा है और श्रद्धालु साधकों के मध्य श्री राणा जी निवास् के नाम से लोकप्रिय है।श्री राणा जी निवास् मे साधकों के आवास, भोजन एवं अन्य आवश्यक सुविधायें उपलब्ध रहती हैं और देश विदेश के श्रद्धालु एवं साधक इस दिव्य स्थान पर आकर दिव्य आनन्द एवं गुरु कृपा से लाभान्वित होते हैं।</div>Ramashramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09487885305179624069noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1481856959486107452.post-28557311965944915762011-05-31T23:23:00.000-07:002011-05-31T23:34:58.749-07:00प्रथम निर्वाण दिवसपूज्य गुरुदेव का प्रथम निर्वाणदिवस ९,१०,११ जून २०११ को श्री रामाश्रम में आयोजित किया जा रहा है.श्री रामाश्रम की पुण्य भूमि पूज्य गुरुदेव की साधना स्थली और कर्म भूमि रही है जहाँ पर रह कर पूज्य गुरुदेव से अनगिनत लोग लाभान्वित हुए। और हर किसी को मिला पूज्य श्री का स्नेहिल और वात्सल्यमय प्यार.....एक अनिर्वचनीय एवं अवर्णनीय व्यक्तित्व जो कि हम सब के दिलो दिमाग में रच बस गया है।<br />यह हमारा अहो भाग्य होगा कि हम सब इस अवसर पर पूज्य गुरुदेव की दया कृपा से फैज्याब हों.उनके दर पर हम हाजिरी दे सकें.सम्मिलित हो सकें उस अमृत वर्षा में जो हब सबके लिए कल्याण कारी है.Ramashramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09487885305179624069noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1481856959486107452.post-59656697069041235542010-09-01T22:49:00.000-07:002010-09-01T22:52:09.311-07:00पूज्य गुरुदेव के लिए प्रार्थना एवं दुआ<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghzLIv5dLSrQq7STdInnLU9YhNwzAqp_RW7JJHndo3zg66iIVwrClwXADx3mFqUR1hqHLbwA-thZ0ixTWcnktzpmhw0NhiTYbfA1hxCvt9TN-euk6i-5AzKbRp9J94NX8g-eIcb_N3PfSQ/s1600/Prayer+01.jpg"><img style="display: block;

Their father, Chaudhary Harbaksh Rai was from Bhogaon i.e. a small town in Dist. Mainpuri (U.P.). Their forefathers established the town and the family had recieved the title 'Chaudhary' from the Emperor Akbar. Chaudhary Harbaksh Rai was Suprintendent in the <st1:place st="on"><st1:placetype st="on">Municipality</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename st="on">Farukhabad</st1:placename></st1:place>. His living was luxurious in the company of Nawabs and had no restrictions on non-vegetarian foods. But the wife of Chaudhary Sahib was a pious lady. she cooked her food separately and in one way was living seperately too. She used to sing Ramayana couplets daily. Attending Satsang, giving alms, charity and donations were the part and parcel of her life. The beggars never returned empty handed from her house. However the saddest thing in her life was that she had no issues and thus used to be worried most of the time. Once a Faquir (Muslim saint) came to her door and proclaimed a slogan of "Allah-ho-Akbar". The maidservant came out hearing the slogan and enquired with him that what he wanted. The faquir said that he wanted to eat fish. There was no fish in her house as she was a strict vegetarian. So she said to the faquir that there was no fish. The faquir again asked for fish. On hearing this, the house lady (wife of Chaudhary Harbaksh Rai) went to the kitchen of Chaudhary Sahib and enquired from the cook whether he had cooked fish. Fortunately fish had been cooked for some important guests so she took the cooked fish, came back and gave the same to the faquir. After eating the fish, the faquir asked the maid to enquire from the house lady what was her desire ? The maid conveyed that to the house lady. The faquir was told that she had only one problem that she had no progeny. The faquir lifted his stick, dashed it twice against the ground counting one and two and then told the maid servant "go and tell your house lady that she will have two issues" and with these words the faquir left.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; text-align: justify; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;"><span style=";font-family:";font-size:10;color:black;" >Ten months later Mahatma Ramchandraji was born and after two years of that Mahatma Raghubar Dayalji took birth. These events were well celebrated in the house by offering alms and feasts to faquirs. The house bloomed with happiness. The mother started inculcating the teachings of Ramayana to her sons. But it was not acceptable to God and when Mahatma Ramchandra Ji was only nine years old and his younger brother Raghubar Dayalji of seven years, their mother left to heavenly abode. Responsibility of their education came on the shoulders of Chaudhary Harbaksh Rai, who arranged best possible teachers for them. However, it was not acceptable to God once again and when Mahatma Ramchandra ji was in class 9, Chaudhary Sahib also expired, Both the brothers were bereaved of father and mother. The relatives took away their entire property cunningly telling that Chaudhary Sahib owed much debt to them. Both the brothers became helpless. Mahatma Ramchandra ji passed class 10 and attained the age of sixteen years. The district collector who knew his father well gave him a job of nakalnavees (clerk) in the collectorate at a monthly salary of Rs 10/-- only. Somehow Ramchandra ji managed his household and also looked after his brother Raghubar Dayalji. They took a room on rent paying half a rupee per month which was very close to the residence where Maulana Fazal Ahemed Khan Sahib lived. Mahatma Ramchandraji Maharaj used to pay great respect to Maulana Fazal Ahmed Khan Sahib and got his blessings in return. Gradually, he came closer to Maulana Sahib and not only was blessed with the spiritual wealth of Maulana Sahib but was authorised by him to carry out his mission to the world. The permission was granted to him in the very first year of their acquaintance. However, in the presence of his Grurdeo, Lala ji Maharaj refrained from organising Satsang and maintained high order of regards for him. Ramchandraji was in the company of Maulana Sahib for 16 years. Maulana Sahib brought him to light through a disciple who in his Sadhana developed inclination towards women. On the advice of Maulana Sahib, Ramchandra Maharaj after devoting several sittings brought the person back on proper path of God remembrance and motivated him towards the main goal of self realization. With this incidence, Ram Chandra ji Maharaj came in limelight. There are many instances of his life that proved him to be a great saint of the time.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> Ramashramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09487885305179624069noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1481856959486107452.post-75681790347545567612009-04-13T05:28:00.000-07:002009-04-15T08:59:34.335-07:00This page is dedicated to Shri Ranaji Saheb!!Dear All,<br />Welcome to the blog of our satsang.
