With the grace of Pujya Niruma, I attained Self-Realization a few years ago. She gave me the knowledge of the Self, “I am a Pure Soul. And I am totally separate from this body.”

She made me understand, “After death , your body gets cremated and your name too becomes a history. But you remain. So who are you?” This question baffled me, “Oh! I do not know my own Self.” She left me with this question saying, “You come on such and such day; you will get the answer.”

But with every passing day, I deeply wondered how was I living life all along, without knowing my own Self. And if this body and name are going to be with me just for a few years more, why am I running around and working so very hard to procure the best comforts and best place for them? What about me? I have never thought of that at all...

With all kind of puzzles overwhelming my mind, I was only becoming more and more curious to know the answer to the most fundamental question at this moment in life i.e. ‘who am I?’

I reached to Pujya Niruma on the day she had called me, and I saw that there were many more people assembled there. On asking them, I came to know that they too were here to know the same answer. Pujya Niruma then entered in the hall and for almost two and a half hours, she conducted the Self-Realization ceremony. It was the first and so far the best spiritual experience I have had!
After that, I went back home. But I hardly slept that night. The words, “I am a Pure Soul”, given by Pujya Niruma kept ringing in my ears and it invoked a lot of happiness and serenity in my being.

This amazing experience inspired me to know some more about Pujya Niruma. I visited the website https://www.dadabhagwan.org/ where I learnt that she has received Self-Realization from Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan in 1968.

Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, I read, was a Gnani Purush! Gnani Purush is the One who has fully realized the Self (Pure Soul) and is able to impart the Knowledge of the Self to others as well. After Self-Realization, Param Pujya Dadashri destroyed all his mistakes that existed within in the form of anger, pride, greed, and deceit. He says in every living being there is a Pure Soul (Atma). And anyone who destroys all his mistakes is God (Parmatma).

His words became the foundation for a direct and step-less path to Self-Realization, called Akram Vignan. While ‘Kram’ means an orderly, step-by-step progress on the spiritual path, ‘Akram’ is like you reach your destination directly through flight, bypassing all the stations on the path. Akram is therefore very handy in today’s age as we get to experience the bliss of the Self (Pure Soul) directly, with the grace of the Living Gnani. It in particularly suited my temperament for we don’t have to renounce the world nor do we need to leave food or family ; Gnani directly changes our vision from, “I am so and so (reader may insert his name here)” to “I am a Pure Soul.” It’s all about breaking the wrong belief, which Gnani does for us.

I used to get lot of motivation and inspiration from Pujya Niruma, a Self-Realized woman, a doctor by profession, and a devoted disciple of Param Pujya Dadashri. During Pujya Dadashri’s final days, in the fall of 1987, he gave his blessings to Dr. Niruben Amin and bestowed his special siddhis upon her, to continue his work. “You will have to become a mother to this whole world, Niruben” He told her as he blessed her. There was no doubt in Dadashri’s mind that Niruben was destined to be just that. She had served him with utmost devotion day and night for over twenty years. Dadashri in turn had moulded her and prepared her to take on this monumental task. She became the Embodiment of pure and unconditional love. However, Pujya Niruma passed away in Samadhi in 2006.

After Pujya Niruma, Pujya Deepakbhai has continued Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s mission of world salvation. Pujya Deepakbhai Desai is born on May 9 1953 in Morbi, Gujarat, India. One day his elder brother told him about Gnani Purush Ambalal Muljibhai Patel (lovingly known as Param Pujya 'Dadashri' or Param Pujya 'Dada Bhagwan'), whose knowledge of Akram Vignan would help him in his studies, for at that time, Pujya Deepakbhai was studying engineering at VJTI College in Bombay.

This soft-spoken, humble and introverted young man had found the worldly life utterly meaningless and cumbersome right from his childhood. Little did he know that meeting this Gnani would be a major turning point in his life that would transform his life beyond imagination! On March 6 1971, Pujya Deepakbhai attained Self Realization from Param Pujya Dadashri. He was seventeen years old at the time! This spiritual experience of Self Realization ignited within him a thirst for an in-depth learning and understanding of the phenomenal knowledge of Akram Vignan.

And today, thousands of people from all walks of life, and from all over the world, attain Self-Realization through him and get established in the awareness of the pure Soul, while carrying out their worldly duties and obligations. They experience great freedom inside even while fulfilling all their responsibilities outside!It has been 15 years now, that I have attained Self- Realization. I have learnt a lot and continue to learn from these three Spiritual Masters. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan and Pujya Niruma are not physically present right now, but their subtle energies keep motivating me towards ultimate liberation (Moksha).

And I am very fortunate to have Pujya Deepakbhai in person, whom I can go to directly and seek his valuable guidance on how to destroy my mistakes of anger, pride, deceit, greed, ego, intellect and progress on the path of ultimate liberation, Moksha. His Satsangs have deeply influenced me in understanding my own identity as a Pure Soul. Even though I am living in worldly life (Sansar), body may have problems, but with His guidance, I can resolve the problems with equanimity. I as a ‘Pure Soul,’ enjoy the permanent peace ! Self-Realization is the biggest spiritual experience I have had in my life.

Author's Bio: 

Ambalal M. Patel was a civil contractor by profession. In June 1958, spontaneous Self-Realization occurred within Ambalal M. Patel. From this point on, Ambalal became a Gnani Purush, and the Lord that manifest within him became known as Dada Bhagwan. A Gnani Purush is One who has realized the Self and is able help others do the same. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan used to go from town to town and country-to-country to give satsang (spiritual discourse) and impart the knowledge of the Self, as well as knowledge of harmonious worldly interactions to everyone who came to meet him. This spiritual science, known as Akram Vignan, is the step-less path to Self-realization.
