Senior Sanyasi Atmarpit Nemiji’s Birthday Celebrations
On 11th April, during a profound pravachan in Mumbai on Patrank-509 of Shrimad Rajchandra Vachanamrutji, Pujya Gurudevshri had beautifully expounded a spiritual truth that even the enlightened ones are not exempt from physical hardships arising due to the fruition of past karmas. Yet, amidst bodily suffering, they remain unwaveringly established in their pure witnessing consciousness. Little did devotees realise then that
within days Pujya Gurudevshri Himself would exemplify these very words!
Despite enduring intense back pain, Pujya Gurudevshri continued to shower grace upon seekers through paravartanas from 14 to 16 April at the Dharampur Ashram. However, as the pain intensified causing numbness in His right leg, doctors advised rest.
Subsequent medical investigations, including an MRI, diagnosed an acute slip disc with nerve root compression. Doctors prescribed bed rest for three weeks, owing to which the shibir on Natak Samaysaar and the Africa Dharmayatra had to be postponed.
Even during bed rest, His compassion did not rest and the Master thoughtfully designed spiritually elevating programmes for seekers visiting the Ashram. Since Pujya Gurudevshri was unable to deliver pravachans personally, devotees were instead blessed with uplifting video satsangs, meditation sessions, and bhakti programmes. While following the doctors’ advice, the Master graced devotees with His presence for the Varshitap parna, Senior Sanyasi Atmarpit Nemiji and Adarniya Rekhamaa’s birthday celebrations, Mother’s Day celebrations and even blessed aspirants with Sadguru Udghosh.
Over the following weeks, despite medication, therapy, and rest, recovery remained slow. Persistent pain, especially during nights, continued and surgery may be considered if improvement does not occur.
Yet, throughout this phase, devotees have drawn immense inspiration from witnessing Pujya Gurudevshri’s equipoise – His effortless abidance in the joyous self, untouched by bodily discomfort. Devotees and well-wishers the world over continue to pray earnestly for His swift and total recovery.
