Jay Swaminarayan,

Maharaj and Swami are the all-doers. As Gopalanand Swami has said, “Not even a single leaf can be moved without the wish of Maharaj.” There’s a prasang about Muktanand Swami and Brahmanand Swami. According to Maharaj’s agna, they went to villages and talked about Shriji Maharaj. Back in the day, many people were against this and would harm the paramhansas. Once, Muktanand Swami and Brahmanand Swami were tied to a tree by a jealous bawa. The bawa was planning on cutting their ears and noses off. Brahmanand Swami said, “What if people think we did something wrong?” Muktanand Swami replied, “Whatever happens is due to Maharaj’s wish.” With this in mind, both paramhansas awaited their fate. Raghav Jat was passing by and he was confused about the worried looks on Muktanand Swami and Brahmanand Swami. He asked the bawa and the bawa told Raghav about his evil plan. Since Raghav Jat was a powerful person he commanded that the paramhansas be freed immediately. The bawa did as he was told. This shows that if we remember that Maharaj is sarva-karta-harta, meaning the ‘all doer’ we can find the strength to face any hurdles that come our way. Now, let’s time travel and learn about a prasang of Mahant Swami Maharaj. He was in Morbi mandir and everyone was worried since a huge cyclone was going to hit Gujarat. During sabha, Mahant Swami Maharaj relieved everyone by saying that the cyclone would merge with the sea rather then hit Gujarat. The next day Jamnagar Mandir’s Kitchen Sant asked, “How many food packets should be made?” Mahant Swami replied, “The cyclone won’t occur so don’t make a lot of food packets. The unused ones can be handy in the future.” This shows that Mahant Swami Maharaj is in communion with Maharaj, the all-doer. We have this power with us all the time. They will always do the best for us so why worry about anything?

Until next time!
