"Our Key to Akshardham"

 

Tapa  


The uniqueness of a God-communion Sadhu is that he teaches by his life, by his little daily acts, by his most casual words and sometimes, even by his silence.

One evening before retiring to bed, a group of youths had gathered in Swamishri's room for darshan. One of the youths was playing around with his key-ring.

"Look", said Swamishri to a teenager named Chandu, "This boy is so young yet he has so many keys."

"Have you got any keys?" somebody from the crowd asked Chandu.

Before Chandu could answer, Swamishri said, "Of course he has, and that is why he is sitting here."

Then fixing his eyes on Chandu, Swamishri said, "The key that you have got is the key to Akshardham. Make sure you never lose it."

Then explaining further, Swamishri continued, "If you happen to lose your house key, you can still get in by breaking the lock or by any other means. But you will never gain entry if you lose possession of the key to Akshardham. Do you know what is the key to Akshardham?"

Giving the answer himself, Swamishri said, "The contact of Yogiji Maharaj is the key to Akshardham."

"But I haven't seen Yogiji Maharaj," Chandu expressed his misfortune.

"You are seeing him before you," said Swamishri.

We have heard Swamishri on many occasions that we are fortunate enough to have the contact of Yogiji Maharaj. Though Yogiji Maharaj is no longer physically present, yet from Swamishri's revelation we find that Yogiji Maharaj and Pramukh Swami Maharaj are one.

Indeed, we are fortunate because in Pramukh Swami Maharaj we have the key to Akshardham.
