The best darshan everybody enjoys is of Swami Bapa at his morning puja.
Not a single day passes without Bapa performing puja.
Swami Bapa’s day begins with puja.
After taking his morning bath, puja is the first thing that Bapa does.
He does not eat or drink before his daily puja.
That is what we are all supposed to do.
The darshan of Swami Bapa’s puja is very soothing and peaceful.
The sadhus sing bhajans while Swamishri performs puja.
And the devotees look at Bapa with love and glory.
During his entire puja Bapa is absorbed in looking at Thakorji!
While everyone’s mind is on Bapa, Swami Bapa’s mind is on Thakorji!
Swami Bapa’s focus is Thakorji.
If the lights are not proper, Bapa tells someone to adjust them.
So that he can have a better darshan of Thakorji.
For Bapa, Thakorji is not just an idol of metal or printed paper, but God Himself.
Once someone brought a nice big colorful garland for Bapa’s puja.
He gave it to Bapa to offer to Thakorji.
Bapa felt that the roses were moist.
So Bapa held the garland gently in his gaataryu (upper cloth).
So that the cloth would absorb the water.
After a little while he offered it to Thakorji.
We too shouldn’t offer wet flowers to Thakorji.
Swami Bapa’s devotion to God is perfect! He doesn’t forget even the smallest detail.
Persident Jomo Kenyatta of Kenya once asked Bapa (poining to Harikrishna Maharaj).
“What is this image?”
Swami Bapa said, “It is not an image. It is God Himself.”
