M. Patel (1908 - 1988) Holistic Science is both holistic and scientific. The knowledge aspect of soul or self is Holistic and the relationship of the soul with the external is explained on scientific basis except that this science is 'Inner Science' and deals with human life from the gross to the subtlest levels. The knowledge of one's Real identity as Pure Soul and its role in the relative worldly happenings within the physical body, which includes mind, speech and body itself dispels the numerous wrong beliefs, doubts, puzzles and ignorance that are the causes of human's sufferings and stress.

In the present age of stress, struggle, strain and intolerance observed here and there, where the requisite harmony of mind, speech, and body for inner progress is disrupted and drained, this Holistic inner Science of Human Life & Living comes to us as a saviour, wherein we can live happily without renouncing anything or necessitating any kind of ritual. One will learn the techniques of solving day-to-day problems without involving, blaming, accusing, identifying any person or circumstances while performing one's activities dexterously. To fulfil the innermost benevolent wish of Dada Bhagwan, the Center will execute a plan to make the Holistic Science of inner living available to the interested and aspiring Knowledge Seekers, Researchers, Academicians, Thinkers and Social Reformers who can evaluate it in a proper perspective and make it widely available for the benefit of the people at large. The Centre will also endeavour to make available the knowledge of the Holistic inner Science of Human Life and Living to the common man through various socio-academic channels as well as outreach activities. Thus Holistic Science Research Center will stand as the light house to enable the people at large to happily and harmoniously navigate the Human Life and Living. What is Holistic Science? In this age of stress, struggle and strain where the requisite harmony of mind, speech and action for inner progress is disrupted and drained, the Holistic Science comes to us a saviour to attain our goal of happy holistic living without renouncing or rejecting anything or performing different rituals. While pursuing the holistic science whatever comes in the course of natural flow of life and circumstances around is accepted without involving, blaming, accusing or identifying any person or surroundings one comes across. Right understanding of principles and application of Holistic Science help us keep ourselves balanced and equipoise in all circumstances making the life a smooth sailing. This process goes on towards continuous improvement in quality of the human life of the seekers and also benefits all those coming in his contact and engage in relationship with him. One will learn the art of solving day-to-day problems while performing one's duties dexterously. Besides, one will attain a perceptible progress in the spiritual path he or she is pursuing. 4 Holistic Science of Life & Living Vol. 1 May 2014 Page #5 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Message from the Founder of Holistic Science Research Center Holistic Scientist HDH Shri Kanudodaji I am pleased that HSRC on its oth Anniversary is launching an e-Magazine titled...

Patel Page #7 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ A short introduction to Holistic Science Research Center Dr. P. C. Parikh* A spiritual research Center known as Vitrag Vignan Charitable Research Foundation (V.V.C.R.F) or Holistic Science Research Center is situated in an imposing temple-complex of Mahavideh Teerth Dham on the National Highway No.8 at Navagam-Kamrej Char Rasta near Surat. It was inaugurated (on April 27th, 2009) by Shri Kanudadaji-the fore-most absolute Scientist of Holistic Inner Science of the present age. The foundation has been established to fulfill Soul Incarnate Dada Bhagwan's noble dream of sharing and propagating the ever-lasting benefits of this spiritual science to the people at large and especially the Scientists and Thinkers who could use this knowledge for the ultimate welfare of mankind all over the world. It is therefore pertinent to note that this Center has been associated with several well-known educational and research institutes at the national and international level. The genesis of this institute is linked to an event that occurred about fifty five years back at Surat in South Gujarat. A simple looking middle-aged gentleman named as Ambalal Muljibhai Patel (1908-1988) quite naturally and suddenly experienced a dream vision of selfrealization on one hot summer evening in July, 1958 while he was sitting on a bench at the crowded platform of the Surat Railway Station. And the experience which lasted for about an hour that day revealed to him that His body was His world. Without His body there would be no world, no existence of happiness, no experience of favourable or unfavorable situations for him. His supreme enlightenment and experience of Infinite Blissful State made him realize fully separated soul as stable, blissful and Pure Real Self. Also got totally revealed in His Enlightened State was a Cosmic Power (Vyavasthit Shakti) that controlled world events operative through Mother Nature in a human life-span, based on the projections of actions of past lives. In essence, it is the inner science and in today's parlance, it is known as Holistic Science (revealed as AKRAM VIGNAN by Dada Bhagwan) which provides answers to the seekers for their pressing problems of day-to-day living. *Hon. Director (Research & Development), HSRC, VVCRF, Former Director, B. J. Institute of Learning & Research, Ahmedabad 7 | Holistic Science of Life & Living Vol. 1 May 2014 Page #8 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Thereafter, from 1962 to 1988 Dada Bhagwan shared the benefits of knowledge with the people through his satsang and question-answer sessions. At present, this benefit is available to the aspirants through Shri Kanudadaji, the most experienced Holistic scientist and Dada's worthy successor. The Holistic Inner Science does not call for rituals and austerities for selfrealization. In this age of stresses and strains where the requisite harmony of mind, speech and body is disrupted, this science comes to us to help us experience the inner peace and happiness without performing different rituals or renouncing anything. Dada Bhagwan's Holistic approach and revelation has helped all of us today to live our lives satisfactorily, spiritually and successfully as it is based on a right understanding of a correct perspective of the inner Holistic Science pertaining to all the faculties of human life. Rightly understood, the basic aim is to help the seekers to live a wholesome life with balanced outlook, so that their inner understanding highly develops, leading to total and permanent inner happiness. This, in short, is the Holistic Inner Science that makes life bearable in modern adverse times. It will strive to establish a landmark in the field of advance scientific study and research in the Holistic science propounded by Soul Incarnate Late A. M. Patel popularly known as Shri Dada Bhagwan. The Center has undertaken various projects of preparing reference books and glossary of Vitrag Vignan, arranging seminars and lectures of eminent scholars, organizing short-term study programmes on different topics relating to Vitrag Vignan and publication of a bi-monthly, bi-lingual bulletin in English and Hindi under the inspiring direction of Param Pujya Shri Kanudadaji. The Center aims to make comprehensive study of all prevailing religious traditions and philosophies and derive common constructive factors for the benefit of human beings at large. It also aims to provide maximum facilities to the researchers for outstanding research in philosophy, religion and culture in general and Holistic science in particular. The Center also intends to publish books for research purposes. The Center is fully equipped with infrastructure for desktop and web publishing system. It has a rich digital library equipped with reference books on religion, philosophy, culture, Iconography, etc. Additionally, it has a multimedia library consisting of spiritual discourses of Shri Dada Bhagwan and Pragat Gnani Purush Shri Kanubhai K. Patel popularly known as Kanudadaji, divine poems of Kaviraj, etc. The Scholars of scientific research and interested individuals are most welcome to avail themselves of the facilities available here. 8 Holistic Science of Life & Living Vol. 1 May 2014 Page #9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Holistic Inner Science Dr. Shailesh Mehta Science - Outer science, material or physical science and Science of inner self or inner science. This being the era of science, our mind and intellect always try to understand the things in terms of science, tools and terminology of the science. From other perspective there would be science behind everything even if not known to us at present. On one hand there has been phenomenal progress in various disciplines like nano technology, information technology, genetics, stem cells, 'God particles' and so on. It has gifted us with lot of amenities, luxuries and comforts and it is certainly welcome. But if one looks inside, one may find that still there are plenty of clashes, stresses, inner unrest and one is in search of inner peace, happiness and harmony. Even in medical field, previously only physical health was considered but now it is being increasingly realized that it is total health in terms of 'mind, body, soul health 'which matters. Also instead of only intelligent quotient (I.Q.) now due significance is given to emotional quotient (E.Q.) and also spiritual quotient (S.Q.). Thus it is now moving towards holicism. It is here that one needs to know 'Vitarag vignan' or Holistic inner science of our own life and living. Science means 'vignan' or 'vishesh gnan' that is special, complete or exact knowledge. There are two main aspects of science: One is that of material science or outer science which is also termed as physical science. It is a science of the ever changing things or relative things and as the Vitarag sees, there is other aspect of the science which is 'Inner science', or 'science of Inner Self'. It is a science of one's own life and living including mind, body and speech along with surroundings. Whatever is the science being perceived outside is through five senses and tools based on five senses .But what about one which is illuminating these five senses and is there within us as the knower, perceiver or observer? What is one inside which is experiencing the things? So called modern science is also trying to understand and accommodate consciousness, awareness, experience and some such things. Also when one takes into account other branches of science pertaining to living beings like Biology, Physiology, Medicine, Psychology and many others apart from physics, quantum physics or only matter related ones, it may become more obvious that everything cannot be explained by only matter related theories or experiments. Einstein once said, "I now wish to know the observer, know the knower within me." *Honorary Faculty Member, Holistic Science Research Center, Surat, Eye Surgeon, Baroda 9 Holistic Science of Life & Living Vol. 1 May 2014 Page #10 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Science is one which can make humans happy in overall perspective from within and without and especially from within. Viatrags having realized the limitation of outer science for resolution of these inner issues go in search of the science of the inner self or vitarag vignan. Remaining focused on thorough research of own inner self, both relative and real, they are ultimately enlightened. When inner infinite knowledge light and infinite perception light of pure soul self is fully opened out, all the mysteries of self, non self, universe and universal regulation get resolved. All the puzzles get resolved. Not only they become blissful but also become instrumental in making others blissful too. According to absolute or enlightened ones (Vitarags), Soul is a science; absolute one and all other relative sciences exist due to Soul as a basic science. Today, use of material science appears to be little above normal. For example we are trying to reduce perspiration which is a natural phenomenon by Botox injections, which is as such a poison by itself. But Science is knowledge. Science in itself cannot be wrong .Its use has to be guided by holistic visions. Both outer or physical science and Vitarag vignan or Holistic inner science have to be complimentary or synergistic. In fact they are not separate but part of one continuous spectrum or a whole. Science of inner self (Inner science): Vitarag vignan Q. What is the Vitarag Vignan or the inner science all about? It is the science of one's own life and living. It is the science of T' with mind, speech, body along with one's surroundings animate & inanimate and its natural regulatory mechanisms. One's own human life is a unique, live experiment of the universe, where 'I am' is there as an experimenter and the experiment with mind, speech, body and surrounding circumstances is going on. In other words it is a science of conscious or Pure Soul Self in relation to matter. Also it is a science of ' relative Self' in relation to 'Real self, anatman in relation to atman, Prakruti and Purush, or the science of cause and effect. Scientists are curious to know about the existence or nature of Soul and its relation to matter and they are trying in various ways. Here the Gnani Purush gives clear details of Conscious or Pure Soul self in relation to matter with practical aspects of how best it can be useful in daily living. So it encompasses the entire spectrum from Vyavahar Vignan having various visions which are useful for happy, harmonious daily living to keval gnan that is the absolute pure knowledge. It is the science of relative but with center of Real or absolute. 10 | Holistic Science of Life & Living Vol. I May 2014 Page #11 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Benefits or value of 'Vitarag vignan' Q. What can one gain or what can one expect by knowing this science? To mention in brief: It enables one to have the puzzle free, positive, happy harmonious humane living from within. It enables one to experience inner freedom even in adverse circumstances or situations, which are rampant now a day. One may be able to realize the inner potentials and to make optimum use of it. It is said that one has the latent and potent abilities within oneself which are as good as what was manifested in Mahavir, Krishna, Dada Bhagwan, or Christ or any such great one. So what's the scientific way by which one can recognize inner potentials and make optimum use of it? Ultimately one can know the ultimate truth or the ultimate knowledge of life and attain the ultimate liberation. 'Vitarag Vignan' or 'Akram Vignan' -Holistic science of today In the present time it was perceived not only perceived but experienced and then revealed by Self realized Holistic Scientist Late A. M. Patel (Dada Bhagwan) who was enlightened in 1958. It is being furthered by present enlightened Gnani Purush Kanudadaji having self realization in 1963. But what is the science? It would be acceptable as science only when it can be replicated, experienced and observed by other people following the similar strategy or the similar fundamental principles. So this is very important that it is being perceived and experienced by hundreds of aspirants including scholars or learned ones. Most humbly I can proclaim as one of them and it can be experienced by all having open hearted, earnest inquisitiveness. That is how one can certainly say that it is a science because it is not working for only one or two, but it is for hundreds and it can work for hundreds or thousands. - Part 2 Body-Mind- Consciousness or Soul connection Q- How one can understand in brief body, mind, consciousness or soul connection? Holistic Scientists or enlightened ones clearly explain properties of pure conscious and body-mind complex or non live -live matter part. It would be dealt with in detail after words. Even modern scientists are trying to understand all these and there are various works. Let us look from anatomy, physiology and medicine perspective. 11 | Holistic Science of Life & Living Vol. I May 2014 Page #12 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Vitarags have described 3 types of body - gross body, electrical or vitality body and causal body. Modern science have tried to study first two of it, third being very subtle is out of reach of it.

Autonomic part comprises of Sympathetic and parasympathetic. They connect and control all parts of body. Various stimuli from mind affect body through this nervous system. If someone insults you there would be effect. You are angry and whole body gets affected. There is a fake snake but mind perceives it as real in dark and you have perspiration, fear and so on. Today, stress and psychosomatic diseases are very common and cause of all of it lies at level of mind may be in form of beliefs, life style, competition comparison and so on. Stress and various types of mind conditions do affect body through effect on various endocrine glands and hormones. In nut shell all inner happenings, thoughts, positive or negative attitudes and effects have connections all throughout body- mind-conscious level. Subtle body has been studied like ECG, EEG, EMG for electrical body, aura body, chakras and nadis by aura photography and effects of anger, meditation etc on aura.

There are further studies in the field of metaphysical sciences. To mention few : * Our thoughts can affect physical matter and thus physical outcome.- Bill Tiller in Arizona and Marilyn Schlitz (California) * Thoughts count they create real effects-Bill Tiller * Intention experiment - a Box was charged by meditators with intention to raise ph of pure water by 1 unit and then decrease by 1 unit. It was taken 1500 miles away and it could raise or decrease phas intended. * Effect of different thoughts was noted by change in crystal patterns of water /ice by a Japanese scientist. * Berkley Rubik- Ph.D. - temple univ. philadelphia- there is definite interaction between consciousness and matter. * Prof. Frederick Travis - Centre for Brain, Consciousness and cognition in Fairfield, Iowa- whole brain of an enlightened person works as one ,in a totally synchronized totally coherent way. All these simply suggest one thing. Our inner happenings are of paramount importance and it is where Holistic Inner science has beneficial and transformational effects through correct understandings which would be dealt with in subsequent write ups. 15 Holistic Science of Life & Living Vol. 1 May 2014 Page #16 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ THE SEARCH FOR UNIVERSAL TRUTH IN SCIENCE AND VEDANT* I am very grateful to be given this opportunity to visit this beautiful Center, an abode of peace and spirituality and to be able to participate in this celebration. When I was invited to come here, I was somewhat hesitant. I have little acquaintance with religion and spirituality. I was born as a son of a professor of Physics (Incidentally, my father taught at the MTB Science College here for more than 30 years). I was educated and trained as a scientist and by profession; I have been a scientist all my life. I have also been convinced for many years that science and religion are not contradictory. Our society stands on the twin great pillars of religion and science. They run parallel to each other. They ask and search for answers to the same deep, fundamental philosophical questions. Their paths, their methodology and their technologies may differ, indeed they do differ widely. But the goals are the same mountain peaks. Often the results of their quest are amazingly similar. Dr. S. R. Pandya Let me elaborate on this, "Kena Upanishad" is one of our major Upanishads. Many of you may be familiar with it. In the very first mantra the Rushi asks four very fundamental questions. Each question begins with the word "Kena" or "by whom". Hence the name of this Upanishads. The first mantra runs like this: keneSitaM patati preSitaM manaH kena prANaH prathamaH prati yuktaH / keneSitAM vAcAmimAM vadanti cakSu zrotraM ka devo yunakti / / *Speech given on Inaugural Function of HSRC on 27 April 2009 **Renowned Theoretical Nuclear Physicist, Honorary Professor & Former Director, Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad 380009 16 | Holistic Science of Life & Living Vol. I May 2014 Page #17 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Of course many learned pandits have commented on this mantra and its interpretation. But I, as one familiar with the quest of modern science wish to offer you my own interpretation. The first question concerns the working and perhaps the very purpose of the mind or to stretch a little, of consciousness. This certainly is the frontier area of research for scientists today. It involves physicists, biologists, psychologists and even mathematicians and information science. The wording of the question is some three thousand years old and appropriate to that age. But I hope my interpretation is more appropriate to our age. The second question concerns an equally deep problem. It is about the origin and functioning of life itself. This is also a problem of great interest to modern science, as you all know. The third question is about the speech. I interpret the word "speech" as basically communication not only between humans but also between all forms of life. How do we communicate is the subject of the science of linguistics which again attracts many computer scientists, biologists and psychologist. Communication between men and machines is a frontier area of research. Finally the last question talks about eyes and ears. This again I interpret as a mode of acquiring information or cognition. How do we know? We want knowledge of the external world and how it impacts our senses and through our senses our brain and mind. The development of quantum theory in the last century has brought to the fore the question of the relationship between the observed system and the observer. I do not go into any details here. I only wish to emphasize the point that scientists (natural philosophers) and religious philosophers follow similar paths of inquiry. The answer to these questions occupies the rest of the "Kena Upanishad". Basically, if I understand correctly, it says that behind all these objects and processes, there is a single universal element to understand which Rushis and Scientists struggle alike and knowing, which releases one from all bonds. The element is almost incomprehensible and to describe it one has to use lots of "not this", "not that" etc. I find the answer given in the "Nirvan Ashtakam" most beautiful. ahaM nirvikalpaH nirAkArarUpaH vibhULapya sarvatra srvendriyaannaam| sadA me samatvaM na muktirna bandhaH cidAnandarUpaH zivo'haM zivo'haM / / 17 | Holistic Science of Life & Living Vol. 1 May 2014 Page #18 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Whatever this "element" is, it is the only one. It has no form or shape or taste or smell. It is inaccessible to our normal senses. It is universal everywhere. There is no place or time where it is not. I will again try to draw a parallel with modern science and the conclusion it has reached. During the last four centuries, science has studied the structure of matter and of the radiant energy down to the deepest level possible. It has arrived at a truly amazing conclusion. All the matter we see and experience in our universe in its billions of different forms, is made up of only a few different kinds of atoms, about a hundred different kinds of atoms. You, I and the most distant stars and galaxies are all made of the same few atoms. Is this not an echo of - that thou art? In the last century, scientists have gone even deeper into the atomic structure. I will spare you the details. We find that the ultimate constituents, the building blocks of the universe are only a few elementary particles, called quarks and leptons. There is nothing else in the universe. Helping these particles to interact with each other and make more complex forms of matter are just four different types of forces. Radiant energy is only an expression: of one of these forces- the electromagnetic fields. The implications of this wonderful basic unity underlying all things in nature are equally breathtaking. I believe that once we realize this all-pervading element of unity in nature and accept it fully, this provides the foundation for all morality and ethics in our society. This is what supports and integrates man and nature. The basic percepts of truth and non-violence follow from this unity. If everyone is part of me and I am a part of every one, how can there be violence amongst us? How can I lie or cheat anyone, when I realize that I am cheating myself only? This is truly the essence of "Dharma". Science is today a powerful force in our society. We see its influence everywhere, what has made science so powerful? Let me tell you that the strength and progress of science is largely due to the fact that scientific methodology is based on the principles of truth and nonviolence. Scientists do not go to war because they have different views or beliefs. One can find many instances in history where scientific disputes are settled by arguments, calculations or experiments done independently by third parties and results accepted amicably. In scientific papers one present's truth and only truth. Any fraud is quickly discovered and eliminated ruthlessly. Here indeed is a lesson our society can learn from science. 18 Holistic Science of Life & Living Vol. I May 2014 Page #19 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ When scientists examine the properties of these fundamental building blocks of nature, a truly amazing and incompressible face of reality is revealed. Of course, these elementary particles have no substantial form or shape, but also they are nothing like anything that we can express in everyday language. There are no words in our language to describe what they are, because our language can only describe what we see and experience in everyday life. If you ask, "Where is this electron?" an experiment can locate it as here or there. But when you are not looking at it, it can be anywhere. In fact quantum theory tells us that it is everywhere in the universe, all at the same time! Does it remind you of fahafu hat? In the quantum world a cat can be dead and alive at the same time, if no one is looking! I cannot go into more details here. I only want to say that basic entities constituents of the universe are not only inaccessible to our senses but also indescribable in our language. I have only tried to draw some parallels between discoveries of science and revelations of our ancient Rushis. It would not be true to say that they have reached identical conclusions. But I find the similarity in some fundamental concepts very interesting and worth exploring.

Patel* HH HH Tay PYA.... Thou shall always keep in mind that money power may lead to havocs." Aadi Shankaracharya If one looks to the fundamental Principles of Economics right from Adam Smith, a reference is rarely made to the Human values or religion in Economics theories. Let us look to the evolution of Human civilization in three critical phases. The Agriculture wave, prevailed for thousands of years with the civilization centered around nature, slow pace of life, manual production by masses, village based society, joint family system etc., where the life as well as the economy was driven by social values and spiritual values. The industrialization wave beginning with 17th century brought with it the era of mass production, profit maximization, marketing with the simultaneous evolution of modern economics forming a foundation for the industrial society characterized by mechanization, urbanization, nuclear families, speedy life etc. As the renowned futurist Alvin Toffler has remarked, the industrialization wave has brought with it a concept of looking to human being merely as a clog in a wheel of the industry and has done everything to treat the humans as one of the factors of production. i.e. Land, Labour and Capital. The man is being treated as subservient to machines. The life and economy is guided by material values and individual gain justified quoting the Darwinian biological theory of survival of the fittest. While the industrial era has enriched the mankind in various material aspects the results are quite contradictory from the viewpoint of holistic welfare of the human civilization, to name a few: * Mass Production v/s Rising Unemployment * Large volume of Capital formation v/s Rising Poverty and Degrading Environment Profit Maximization v/s Increasing incidences of Manipulations in Corporate Governance. *AGM (Training) at State Bank of India Learning Centre, Ahmedabad 24 Holistic Science of Life & Living Vol. I May 2014 Page #25 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ The Knowledge Wave: With ushering of the third wave i.e. knowledge wave backed by Information and Communication Technology and Electronics, since last 30 years with an accelerating speed and coverage since 1990s, a paradigm shift is hovering around and various fundamentals of industrial civilization are being questioned. A quest for revisiting those fundamentals is becoming more intense and widespread with a revolutionary forum of internet and social media available almost free of cost to masses. Religion /Human values in Economics: With the development of the knowledge wave, the new generation in particular is challenging the role of human being in economy merely as a Production factor and searching for a role which is more fulfilling, satisfying and meaningful. The quest for revisiting the values of industrial civilization is likely to become further intense with the deep-rooted and recurrent Recession not responding well to the measures backed by the theories of modern economics. The Questions being raised: Why the Ethical values (aimed at overall long term welfare of society as a whole) described in all the Religions have found no place in the foundation of Economics Theories. There might be serious defects/bugs in the software of economy! Why the human being should accept to be treated merely as a factor of production with no regards for his personality development to lead a fulfilling life enriched with a sense of satisfaction. Why the human life be founded on the Darwinian Theory of "Survival of the Fittest" with indifferent and callous attitude towards poor and illiterate masses founding the Bottom of the Economic Pyramid. Whether the efforts of diagnosing and treating with a specialized economics and monetary approach instead of a multi-disciplinary holistic approach will lead to an effective long term solution to the Recession in the economy and rising Depression? across the society. 25 | Holistic Science of Life & Living Vol. I May 2014 Page #26 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ The Probable Answer: The problem is highly complex and therefore the answer lies in collective and holistic thinking. There is a dire need for the Economists, Sociologists, Scientists, Religions Leaders, Thinkers, Politicians and Management Gurus coming together and explore various alternatives to tackle the situation of receding concerns for ethical values, humane approach, environmental hazards, the recession and stagflation and save the human civilization from the vagaries of the pure economic approach which is likely to even justify destruction through war and implied colonization of weaker countries, through politico-economic considerations. 08 SUIT References: 'Third Wave', 'War and Anti War', 'Revolutionary Wealth" by Alvin Toffler.

It's boggling of what truly we are It's through day to day meddling. Ramteerth S. Patel (USA) we can'nt see what purely we are. It's astonishing, we have yet to understand how deeply we are; As we'd rather be caught up in what not surely we are. Lord, dwell in me, Thine humble yet glorious shrine. Grace me to forever chant Thy name, for all script and sci in front of thee is benign. what marvel Thy true strength and beauty, dwell within me, so that I may golden radiantly yet silver soothingly shine. Grace me oh Divine, drive Your majestic chariot within me to live forever. Make me as you so connive yet chival, to carry on every determined endeavour. Make me as you so lovely, to love You and all, the same whatsoever.

Thou dwelled as well in every being as in me. Thine is the same 'self' as mine. And mine is the Pure Self. O Pure Self! In the spirit of Oneness with Thee, I most devoutly bow unto Thee. I confess before Thee all the misdeeds*. I have committed out of gross ignorance. I sincerely repent and beg in all humility pardon for them. O God, do please pardon me and empower me with such a strength within as would henceforth prevent me from falling into the same errors and mistakes again. O Pure Self! Let such be Thy Grace Benign That we no more remain distinct from Thee. May we attain One-ness with Thee! May we be merged in Thee, totally and truly! *The person praying should mention the misdeeds committed by him/her. *This Prayer maybe done unto the name of his/her Revered God. 0 46 | Holistic Science of Life & Living Vol. I May 2014 Page #47 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ kavirAja ye vizva meM sukha aura zAMti ho gIta, saMgIta evaM kaNThaH kavirAja navanIta saMghavI ye vizva meM sukha aura zAMti ho aisI karuNA kara denA; dila bhItara ke saba timira haro, taraNa-tAraNa paramAtmA / jJAnAMjana he pragaTa puruSa, siddhezvara zilpI sanmukhaH saba jIva ko Atama-prApti yo, eka svabhAva hai prakAza kA, nirAvaraNI vyaktAtmA / ye vizva meM... cAhe kisI bhI dIpa meM ho| pazcama pUraba sUraja ho, niHsaMzaya OM mahezvarA, niSpakSI hai kiraNAtmA ye vizva meM.... - sumadhura bhAva bhayabhaMjaka mUla zaraNa, praphullita svAnanda udayakarA; zuddha aMtaH stala kI jagamaga jyota, kevala jJAna meM sthira karanA / ye vizva meM.. / jaba Ayu aMtima A jAe, Apase kaTate janama-maraNa; ye vizva meM... tvaM su-caraNoM meM le lenaa| ye vizva meM.... - * vANI meM isa gIta ko zravaNa karane hetu liMka para klika kareM. www.holisticsceience.org 47 | Holistic Science of Life & Living Vol. 1 May 2014 Page #48 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Founder Gyani Purush Shri K.K.
