Hridayarpit – Sarvarpit Shibir 2025

---

With hearts ablaze in anticipation, Hridayarpits and Sarvarpits joyously received their Master for a sublime four-day getaway from March 13 to 16. Themed “Prem ke rang, Atmarasi ke sang”, it was a sacred convergence where grace streamed boundlessly, wisdom kindled inner awakenings, and love embraced every yearning soul.

Pujya Gurudevshri arrived in Agra with the Hridayarpit and Sarvarpit group members, stepping into a city where history breathes through its monuments, weaving tales of love, grandeur, and legacy. Agra stands as the proud custodian of one of the world’s greatest wonders, the Taj Mahal – an splendid emblem of love that transcends time. In this land of magnificence, seekers embarked on a deeper pilgrimage; not to merely admire monuments carved in stone, but to adorn the shrine of devotion within.

The lovers of the Divine, alongwith their beloved Master, attended ‘Mohabbat The Taj’ show at the Kalakriti Cultural and Convention Centre. This captivating theatrical production, a seamless fusion of dance, drama, and music, exquisitely brought to life the immortal love story of Emperor Shah Jahan and his wife Mumtaz Mahal, unfolding their tale with artistic brilliance.

The Taj Mahal, one of the new Seven Wonders of the World, stands as a magnificent testament to love and unparalleled craftsmanship. Pujya Gurudevshri and the group embarked on a guided exploration of this breathtaking marvel, also witnessing its ethereal beauty bathed in moonlight.

Hridayarpits and Sarvarpits also shared special moments with the Master at Fatehpur Sikri. At the Dargah of Hazrat Salim Chishti, the group dissolved in heartfelt bhakti, their hearts and voices resonating with devotion in the sacred space.

A deeply inspiring Udghosh on the art of sweetening relationships was bestowed by Pujya Gurudevshri. He guided them with the skills of celebrating life and living to the fullest. The celebrations by the devotees were infused with enthusiasm – spirited dances, heartfelt experiences shared by Hridayarpits Nirav-Namita Gosalia and Sarvarpit Shilpa Gandhi, and captivating skits; including one on Shri Atmarasi Banarasidasji’s transformative journey towards becoming the author of the profound spiritual text Shri Natak Samaysaar.

To pay homage to this timeless masterpiece, Pujya Gurudevshri visited Shri Natak Samaysaar Rachnasthal, where seekers beheld the original manuscript alongside its Farsi-Arabi-Pashto translation, written for Shri Atmarasi Banarasidasji’s friend Emperor Shah Jahan. A spirited session of bhakti followed, filling the air with devotion.

The Hridayarpit and Sarvarpit group members were further blessed to celebrate Holi in the divine presence of their Master. The morning began with an insightful session by Atmarpit Nemiji, unravelling the traits of a true seeker. The celebration commenced with an idol of Param Krupalu Dev being adorned with a turban and khes, followed by Pujya Gurudevshri’s pujan of His sacred charankamal. Representing all, Atmarpit Nemiji gently applied colour to the Master. Pujya Gurudevshri then stepped into the gathering, personally anointing each devotee with a tilak and colouring them in varied hues. Waves of joy rippled through the atmosphere as seekers danced in ecstasy, embraced by their Master’s love, drenched in divine shades, and immersed in the essence of true celebration.

Vrindavan, a land where devotion lives and breathes, and every corner resonates the eternal love of Lord Krishna and Radha, has been a sanctuary for devotees for millennia. Pujya Gurudevshri arrived at Vrindavan with Hridayarpits and Sarvarpits; the Master hand-holding them into a world steeped in devotion.

During His visit, Pujya Gurudevshri graced Prem Mandir, a magnificent landmark built in 2012. This architectural marvel, adorned with intricate carvings and life-sized depictions of Lord Krishna’s leelas, stands as a beacon of devotion, drawing countless seekers from across the world. The Master was lovingly offered a khes and a book at the temple.

The sacred journey continued with a serene boat ride on the Yamuna river, where, under the vast expanse of the Vrindavan sky, the Master and devotees chanted the holy name of the Lord. With each ripple in the holy waters, it felt as if the very soul of Vrindavan rejoiced, carrying their prayers forth in its timeless flow.

Mathura, the sacred land where Lord Krishna took birth, is revered as the heart of Braj. Pujya Gurudevshri and the group visited Shri Jambuswami Nirvan Sthal, where He was warmly welcomed by the temple trustees with a khes and mala. Ascending to the main mandir, Pujya Gurudevshri offered reverence at the lotus feet of Shri Ajitnath Bhagwan. In this spiritually-charged atmosphere, the group immersed themselves in soulful bhakti. As the yatra drew to a close, Pujya Gurudevshri addressed the seekers one final time, bestowing His blessings upon them – to journey beyond the external, discover the boundless inner realms, and find eternal refuge within.

Dearest Gurudev,

Through Agra’s wonders, Mathura’s light,
Vrindavan’s love so pure and bright.
In sacred lands, Your grace did flow,
A journey deep, where spirits glow.

Sings so Yamuna’s waves, and bhakti songs,
To You, dear Master, we belong.
In every step, in every view,
Our hearts are forever drenched in love for You.

Indebted to You forever,
Your Hridayarpits and Sarvarpits
