WHO IS MOHANJI?
To describe Mohanji is like explaining the feeling of
a mother’s warm hug or the joy of sunshine on your
face. If Mother Saraswathi herself cannot describe
the supreme soul, no words can tell you who
Mohanji is. He is beyond the definitions of words,
Mohanji is an experience. An experience that shows
In his eyes you will find the universe, In
his eyes you will find yourself
you the truth of yourself.
Mohanji is a reflection of who you are. He shows
you your deepest darkest emotions and gives you the
tools to release them from your system. Mohanji is
My aim is not to bind or blind people, but
to liberate all those who are ready and
receptive. I am glad if my existence
helped a few people to get liberated. I am
just doing my duty. Not conforming to
any image is my way of staying liberated.
All that matters is what you can do in the
present. No image matters.
- Mohanji
what you make of Him. In his words He is fluid. If
you think He is good, then He is good. If you think
He is bad, then He is bad. He is a formless, nonentity with no birth or death. This might seem a bit
unreal to some, but the more you operate in His
consciousness, the more it will be true.
In the absolute physical level, He is a Guru who’s
only purpose is to give us the chance to break free

from the illusion of duality and merge with the
divine consciousness. He follows the path of Shiva,
the pathless path, beyond all man-made boundaries.

Merudanda Temple Activity: Diwali and Navarathri
Merudanda is a small temple dedicated to our beloved Master Mohanji, and as such His GuruTatwa is the presiding deity
at the temple. The temple was opened in September 2013 and is still under a process of transformation. Even at this early
stage, many people have had amazing experiences at the temple: A lady who has had pain in her legs for an entire year,
walked out of Merudanda after a meditation and Shaktipat with no pain at all; another lady who was hospitalised with high
blood pressure was discharged from hospital the very same day of receiving Shaktipat and a prayer was said for her at
Merudanda; a man in a catatonic comma woke up one hour after Shaktipat was given. So many lives have changed, and all
this because of the grace and love of MohanJi. Our beloved MohanJi has indicated that Merudanda is now a
‘Shaktistanam’, a seat of energy. It is a place where He will always be in a tangible form, an all those that come for
meditation feel Him walking around. He has promised that Merudanda will be a place of great healing and benefit to all
that come there.
Merudanda has had many activities since its opening, but in this article we will like to quickly report on two: Navarathri
and Diwali. Navarathri was an intense period at Merudanda. There were very powerful cleansings that happened to
everyone that came to offer prayers at the temple. Almost everyone felt their inner space clear up and even had detox
symptoms. The Narvarathi pujas culminated with the offering of Shree Lalita Sahasranam and a Shree Chandi Devi Puja.
The Shree Chandi puja was three hours long, but everyone was so engrossed in the prayer, that they did not even know
how time passed. During the Sahasranam puja, rice was offered with each mantra to a Shree yantra, chandan to Mother
Lakshmi and hurdee to a Shree Bagalamuki yantra. Everyone was on such a high. At first a warm peaceful energy engulfed
Merudanda, and as the mantras were recited the energy became more and more powerful. Eventually a thick blanket of hot
energy covered everyone, and all you could see was a sea of smiles. After the hurdee was offered to the Shree Bagalamuki
yantra, we noticed that the hurdee that was stick to the yantra took the form of Lord Ganesha’s head and Lord Hanuman.
One needed to look at the yantra with subtle eyes to see them, but everyone did see the deities manifest. This sent everyone
into raptures and bliss overflowed!

Guru’s grace is natural. Once you are following the tradition of non-violence of thought, word and action,
once your whole life is selfless, once you have firm faith, grace is a byproduct. - Mohanji

Diwali was also such an auspicious time at Merudanda. Merudanda’s first Diwali!! Japa and hawan was done at the
temple. All devotees sat and offered japa of Shree MohanJi’s gayatri mantra and Shree Mahamritunjaya mantra. There
after a special hawan of Shree Lalita Trisathi was done. This was an amazing experience. Again the energy was so high
at Merudanda, that you felt as if you are in a swimming pool of divine nectar. During the hawan, we were directed
telepathically by our beloved Mohanji to take out pictures of the flame. We were amazed at the pictures. To see
different deities manifest in the flames is so humbling and is such a wonderful blessing.
Look carefully at the flame. Do you see the head of a horse, Shree Haygreeva Deva. The offering of ghee with the
spoon is going directly into his mouth. Shree Haygreeva Dev is an avatar of Lord Vishnu, and is the one who gave the
Shree Lalita Trisati to Sage Agastrya. This photo was taken during the first offerings to Shree Haygreeva.

Patience and perseverance are very important. And Patience and perseverance will happen automatically,
when surrender is complete. Surrender gives you strength - Mohanji

In the end an offering was made to Lord Shiva and his family and he appears in the flame!! Can you see Lord
Shiva sitting on Nandi? You can actually see the Nandi (the cow), his face on the extreme left of the flame. Can
you see his horns and legs. Feel the energy of Mahadeva!!
Even Shridi Baba made his presence known
You should go to any Guru with an attitude of surrender, full of gratitude and
with an empty cup so that Guru can fill something into it - Mohanji
