Three Small Buckets with Lids and Handles

In Haidakhan we used these to get fresh drinking water from the Ram Dhara, near the Dhuni, and then carried this water up to the room where we stayed.
They seal well (nothing spills when the lid is on) and are easy to keep clean.
I believe a bucket is called a 'Kamandal' and these are very useful items.

$8 each or $21 for the set of 3, plus Shipping....

Temple Dishes:
This is the set we have used to serve meals to the murtis in our temple.
A different food is placed in each of the small bowls. Then a lid is put over it to keep them all in place and another lid seals the top.

The meal is carried to the Temple for a blessing, then brought back to the kitchen where the blessed food is mixed into the regular food, thereby blessing all the food for the noon-time meal.

Price for this set: $54

TAKEN....
ONS! Cement Decoration from Shri Babaji's Room in Haidakhan

On one of my many trips to India, there were repairs going on in the area of the outside of Babaji's rooms, on the balcony. These are parts that were taken off the outside wall and were being thrown away.
We kept them in the Temple. The vibration is really nice.
They would be a nice addition to your home temple.

Peacock Feathers Bundle---
Used for Jharra Healing

Jharra is a healing technique in which the practitioner uses Mantra while the peacock feathers are swept over a person's body, thereby sweeping out dis-harmony and allowing the natural harmony to preside. With each sweep, the mantra is repeated.

In Haidakhan, Swamiji was the 'official' Jharra Master, and Babaji told everyone to go to Swamiji and learn Jharra so they could heal others. A certain mantra is given, then must be 'charged up' by repeating it a certain number of times before starting the healing sessions on people, then there is the responsibility of maintaining the energy by a certain number of repeats of the mantra daily.

Jharra Healing Sessions are available by making an appointment.

For those who wish to learn Jharra, I am offering the Training and Instructions.
If you are interested, please contact me:

Fund-Raising Item:
TEMPLE LIBERTY BELL
Special Rendition Created for the Bicentennial (1976)

by the Verdin Bell Co.
Bell itself weighs 108 lbs!

It's called a '5-mile bell' as it is constructed in such a way that it can be heard for 5 miles when rung!!!

Picture at right shows the bell installed at Universal Peace Temple. The other

2 photos are in my living room here in Sedona.

This is not just a 'collector's item.' It is also blessed by years of Arati and Puja in the Temple. Only a certain number of these "LIBERTY BELLS" were created for the Baker's Super Markets throughout the country so that one bell could be in each store and rung during the Bicentennial Celebrations every day during 1976.

There is also a full packet of materials I am in process of receiving from the Verdin Bell Company, giving many more details about this bell. We acquired this bell for the Center in 1990 from a man who had it in a bell tower in his yard. He was a former manager of a Baker's Store and had purchased the bell to put in his yard. When he visited the Center and saw how we rang all the many bells at each of the Arati Services, he allowed us to purchase it from him.

It may be possible to ship this via truck.

Price: $5,400

NEW INFORMATION ABOUT THIS BOOK:
I have just received the translation (to English) of Chapter Nine of this book.

I'll let you know when the official printing is available.

Shrisadashiv Charitamrit by Shri Vishnu Dutt Shastri

this is Shastriji's book written about Babaji's many incarnations...and it was brought down from the Divine (see story below).

Not yet completely translated to English, officially, this is the original Hindi/Sanskrit published book, which is held sacred in each of the Babaji Temples throughout the world.
It has graced the Temple Altar for many years and this

book was blessed personally by Shri Vishnu Dutt Shastri.

Asking Price: $1008 or best offer

You can get the newer printing of this book in the Ashram Office in Chilianaula for 100 Rs.
This particular copy is fund-raising for the spreading of Shri Babaji's Teachings.

This tells the story of how the book was written:
From "I Am Harmony" by Radhe Shyam:

Vishnu Dutt Mishra and Giridhari Lal Mishra were two brothersfrom the present Indian state of Rajasthan. Their father and father's fathers before them were the raj gurus (gurus of the kings) of theAlwar state, and Vishnu Dutt has also held this title.

Vishnu Dutt is a "shastri"-a scholar with an "acharya" degree in Sanskrit from Benares University (the equivalent of a Ph.D.)-who taught Hindi and Sanskrit in the secondary school at Rajgarh, District Alwar,in Rajasthan.

His younger brother, Giridhari Lal, was a highly respected judge in the Rajasthan Judicial Service. In l951 or l952 when Vishnu Dutt was about 43 and Giridhari Las was about 37 years old, and when Giridhari Lal was performing hisduties and living in Bandikui (not far from Rajgarh), Mahendra Babavisited Bandikui.

Giridhari Las met Mahendra Baba during that visit. On the same day, Vishnu Dutt felt called to go to Bandikui and he also met Mahendra Baba, through Giridhari Lal, at the railroad station,as Mahendra Baba was leaving Bandikui. As the train was about to move, Mahendra Baba told Vishnu Dutt that when the two brothers lived in the same town, he would come to them. After about one mont h, Giridhari Las was transferred from Bandikui to Rajgarh, and MahendraBaba started visiting them frequently.

Vishnu Dutt (Known as "Shastriji") had a remarkable memory for the scriptures, in both Sanskrit and Hindi and could recite long passagesfrom memory. Mahendra Maharaj used to ask Shastriji to recite various scriptures to him. One day, in l954, Mahendra Baba remarked,"You recite so well; why can't you write some literature?"

The next day, Mahendra Baba had Giridhari Lal take him to a placeoutside of Rajgarh for his bath. When Shastriji, at home, took his bath, as he poured the first pitcher of water, an original sloka (a religious verse of praise) came into his mind, and he spoke it as he bathed. He wrote it dow n and when Mahendra Baba was delighted and saidthat a gift of 10,000 rupees could not make him so happy.

He toldShastriji the sloka-and the ability to compose it-was the blessing of the Divine Mother and that he now had Her full blessings. The next day, when Shastriji went to school, in a free period he started writing slokas-and they flowed easily, almost automatically. When he showed them to Mahendra Maharaj that evening, Mahendra Maharaj was so excited that he literally jumped for joy, and then put is hand on Shastriji's head in blessing.

Ever since this time, Shastriji has been able to compose easily whatever he wishes. He had never written anything for publication before, nor had any thought of doing so. The following day, Mahendra Maharaj left for Vrindaban. As he was sitting on the bus, he blessed Shastriji again and assured him that he could write whatever he wanted.

This started Shastriji on hisfirst book, "Sadguru Stuti Kusmanjali," a book of prayers to and verses about Shri Babaji. The whole book was written in seven or eight days. It was written in Sanskrit verse and translated into Hindi, also in verseform. When it was completed, Giridhari Lal read it and became veryexcited, asking how such an excellent book could be written in such a short time.

He insisted that he and Shastriji take the manuscript toMahendra Maharaj, so they went to Vrindaban the next day.They found Mahendra Maharaj sitting by a small pond, in meditation.They sat down before him and after two or three minutes he openned his eyes. Immediately, he asked what they had brought, and Shastriji handed the manuscript to Mahandra Baba.

Mahendra Baba had Shastriji read the book to him as they sat there. Shastriji read until about 3 p.m., when Mahendra Baba interrupted and apologized for not having given them tea, even yet, but this day was closing day for shops in this part of Vrindaban and what could he do?

"Well" he said,"you go on reciting and we'll see about food later." Shastriji continued to read. About twenty minutes later, a young girl, carrying a tray of sweets and tea, came up and put the tray before them and went away. After he heard the whole book read to him, Mahendra Maharaj commented that Shastriji wrote excellent Sanskrit verse, but that his Hindi verse should equal that of Tulsidas, Kabir, and other great poets.

That time will come, he said; but, until then, you should write only inSanskrit. About six weeks after this, Mahendra Baba sent word to Shastriji that he should take leave from his teaching duties and come to Vrindaban immediately. Shastriji found Mahendra Baba in a small room at Shyamji's house, above a sweet shop. Mahendra Baba was sitting in front of a photograph of 'Old Haidakhan Baba.'

Shastriji made a pranan to the photograph and told Mahendra Baba that he had never seen a photograph of Haidakhan Baba but that he had seen that form in his dream. In l940, in the temple of Laxman in his home in Rajgarh,Shri Lasmanji had given Shastriji a vision, or dream, of Babaji in the same form as he now saw in the photograph, and told Shastriji that "He (Babaji) can give you everything."

Mahendra Maharaj then told Shastriji that the time had come when hecould write such beautiful compositions that they would excel those of Tulsidas, Kabir, and everyone. Shastriji made a pranam to Mahendra Baba and asked him how to proceed with the writing.

Mahendra Baba protested, "How can I give these blessings?" He removed the jasmine garland that was hung on Babaji's photograph. He gave the garland to Shastriji, saying, "Your daughter is an incarnation of Saraswati (theGoddess of Knowledge and artistic inspiration). You give this mala to her and she will give you the outline of what has to be written."

(At that time, Shastriji's daughter was four years old.) When Shastriji returned home from Vrindaban, the whole family came to greet him and to inquire what Mahendra Maharaj had wanted. Thefour-year-old daughter came, too, so Shastriji took the garland and put it on her, as directed by Mahendra Maharaj. The girl took the pen from Shastriji's pocket, found a piece of paper and started scribbling on the paper.

Each day, the little girl scribbled on a number of pages, and each day, Shastriji wrote exactly the same number of pages of poetry slokas.

Occasionally, she would return for a second session of scribbling and Shastriji wrote more pages of poetry.

The book Shastriji was beginning to write was "Shrisadashiv Charitamrit," the book which chronicles the "Babaji leela" from discussions among the gods, through His manifestations in the eras of Lord Ram and Lord Krishna, and on up through that of 'Old HaidakhanBaba' (and now-as of December l983-the latest manifestation of Shri Babaji).

While Shastriji was writing this book, Mahendra Maharaj used to come to Shastriji's home every week or ten days to check on the progress of the writing.

(continued on page 67 in "I Am Harmony...")
