Pursuit of Enlightenment - Finding a Guru

As I closed my eyes, I found myself standing once again on the mountain, with clouds swirling before me and a range of snow-covered peaks stretching out in the distance. Suddenly, a vision of Swami Premanand Ji Maharaj appeared in my mind. I took a deep breath and felt as though my search for a Guru had finally come to an end.

In my previous articles on meditation, I had mentioned a saint dressed in yellow whom I would often see during my meditation sessions. Overwhelmed with emotion, tears streamed down my cheeks, and a profound sense of peace washed over my soul. It felt as though I had discovered God's guiding hand resting upon my head.

Pujya Shri Hit Premanand Govind Sharan Maharaj, a revered Rasik Saint hailing from Vrindavan!

Pujya Maharaj Ji embodies the profound essence of "Sahchari Bhav" or "Sakhi Bhav," as initiated by Anant Shri Vibhushit, Vanshi Avtar, Paratpar Prem Swaroop - Shri Hit Harivansh Mahaprabhu.

In an era where genuine spiritual guidance is scarce, Pujya Maharaj Ji stands out as a beacon of wisdom. Through relentless efforts, he simplifies intricate spiritual concepts, making them accessible to all. He not only lays a strong foundation for aspirants but also graciously imparts the most confidential and supremely sacred teachings of 'Vrindavan Nivrit Nikunj Upasana' and 'Nitya Vihar Ras,' teachings initially shared by Prem Swaroop, Vanshi Avtar Shri Hit Harivansh Mahaprabhu.

Pujya Shri Maharaj Ji's teachings encourage complete surrender to PriyaPriyatam, fostering the attainment of Eternal Bliss (???????) or the state of Prem (?????). He emphasizes that this unconditional surrender is paramount, surpassing even the most rigorous spiritual practices (?????). Often, despite intense sadhana, one may struggle to overcome bodily consciousness (??? ???) and False Ego (??????), both hindrances in achieving pure love for PriyaPriyatam.

Then suddenly, a large image of Lord Rama appeared, followed by a virat roop of Lord Krishna, with my guru's image appearing at the feet of the lords. I tried hard to glimpse God's face, but I was unable to see anything except the giant feet of the lords, surrounded by clouds and mountains. This sight brought a big smile to my face.

Once again, I noticed a yellow sparkle emanating from my body in the form of energy, and I felt my soul travelling deeper into my thoughts, like a round ball being drawn into a black hole, where I could see nothing.

My breaths grew deeper, and suddenly, my eyes opened automatically.
