On February 17, thousands
of devotees and new seekers
after truth returned to the
open grounds of the Patia
Big Bazaar for satsang.
Maharaj Ji explained how
saints come to help us find
our way back to God. De-
scribing the story of creation,
the spiritual Master related
how God created all the uni-
verses and sent out parts of
God, souls, to inhabit the different regions. This human
birth was given to us as an opportunity to work our way
back to God, and this is the sole purpose of our lives, he
said. At the time of initiation, our third eye is opened
by the Master Power; we are taught the technique of
meditation and are connected with the light and sound
of God. The treasures of divinity are made accessible to
us and with daily practice we can take quick steps on
our journey back to God.
Maharaj Ji released three books translated in the local
language of Oriya, and later granted initiation to a large
number of new seekers. e
Sant Rajinder Singh Ji
Maharaj and Mata Rita
Ji traveled to Bhu-
baneshwar, the capital city
of Orissa, India for programs
on February 16 and 17.
Located approximately 1,050
miles southeast of Delhi,
Bhubaneshwar is the largest
city in the state and is often
referred to as the “Temple
City of India.”
A musical performance announced their arrival to the
pandal in Patia Big Bazaar. Mata Rita Ji sang a hymn
from the scriptures; the theme of the hymn as well as
Sant Rajinder Singh Ji’s satsang was the plight of the
soul when separated from the Lord. Just as a fish out
of water yearns to be back in life-giving waters, so
too does our soul, which has been separated from its
Source for eons, yearn to return to the Lord.
This dark night of the soul only comes to end when the
grace of God shines upon the soul, extinguishing the
pain of separation and uplifting the soul so that it may
travel back to its Source.
