*“Ashram”*
This experience of mine goes back *20 years, to when I was **sixteen years old.*
That was when *my Guru, my Divine Master,* entered my life.
This experience connected to my life is vast—if I begin to write about it, I could perhaps fill *many books.*
But Ashram is that one experience which connects *me to all of you, binds **you and me together, and also connects us to **my life’s mission.*
It was the beginning of my first step on the *spiritual path — 10th February 2005.*
Since that day, I have never looked back,
because I understood then that *life means to keep moving forward.*
The wheel of life keeps turning — you can neither stop it nor change it.
If there is anything you can change, it is *your own self.*
The worldly view is that others should change for your sake —
every flaw, every fault seems to exist only in others.
But the *spiritual view* always turns inward,
focusing only on *one’s own mistakes* and *one’s own steps.*
My *Gurudev* gave me the *path of meditation.*
He said — Sit, and think: how is this life moving, and why?
Experience both the good and the bad,
and then discern — what should you hold on to?
What should you become — good or bad?
If you recall the moments of your life,
perhaps the good ones will be many and the bad ones few —
yet we tend to hold on only to the bad ones!
For *six years, I experienced both **supernatural states in meditation*
and the *ups and downs of life.*
These are all the *tests* that a Guru gives to his disciples —
for nothing precious is attained without trial.
When the time of testing arrives,
you are actually *closest to God,*
because in those moments, you remember Him the most.
Over the years, God made me study and understand many things,
which I now share with my own disciples whenever needed.
You will soon read my book that recounts my *journey of meditation and inner experiences* —
I am currently writing it.
But among all those experiences,
there is one *beautiful experience and journey* connected with the word *“Ashram.”*
I wish to share it with you now,
because the *construction of the ashram* is presently underway.
Each *brick and stone* is a form of *faith and devotion.*
Think about it — every brick is being forged in fire
to come together and form two walls.
The *sand from rivers* is arriving to help complete this divine task.
Your support is pouring in —
faith is uniting with *nature* to fulfill this sacred work.
This is not just an *ashram*,
but a *pathway to experience the divine within yourself.*
It is the place *personally chosen by Lord Hanuman himself,*
chosen by the *Master* himself.
It took *twenty years* to reach this stage,
and I will tell you this story in detail.
To be connected with the work of this Ashram
is not merely an act of service —
it is an *opportunity to rise above the illusions of the world.*
But the question remains — how?
Come, let me take you toward the *truth hidden behind this divine resolve…*
