Samvat 1841 appeared with an extraordinary significance.
Devils on one hand were insulting religious rituals,
saints were bravely facing them on other. Moon with full
shining in the month of Asho was staring at a small
village named Bhadara. The wicked hearts were
instinctively afraid of any unknown spirit. Krishna's
Rasa-lila was being contemplating by sages. Today's
Sharad Purnima traced remarkable moment in the world
history by giving birth to an uncommon personality.
Since his very infant age he was esteemed with
reverence.
Named as Mulji, he habituated to play with divinity. To
sing transcendental glory of God was his natural crying.
His father known as Bholanath and mother as Sakarba felt
their very beings as beatific and sublimed to have such
scion. None can restrain from his impact if once comes
in touch with him. People with a glance at his divine
fun, exceedingly be bewildered about his glorious and
competent allure. Not only human being but Indra (The
king of heaven) Brahma (The creator God) and such others
demigods were too included in his seers. They often
stiffened to have his spiritual vision. We know very
well that it is arduous for us to talk or to take
appointment to meet Prime Minister, actors and dancers.
Then you can infer stiffness felt in divine vision.
After he got initiation from lord Swaminarayan once it
so happened. He was an executive president of Junagadh
Temple. In early morning Bhagvandas, a saint came to
Junagadh from ''Maliya'' a village. As he swiftly
entered the dormitory of saints, swamiji engrossed in
the meditation of Shrihari magnetized his inclination.
Bhagvandas swami courteously prostrated to swami and got
his seat nearby him. After a few hours swami opened his
eyes when he had received sufficient bliss by meditation
and asked Bhagvandas swami with sweetheart the purpose
of arrival in that unexpected time.
Little hesitated Bhagvandasji appealed however in
interrupted yet in moderate speech to swami , Oh!swami
No article causes me to come here. Always I feel myself
happy since when I have sheltered to Lord Swaminarayan,
yet certain urge led me here forcefully. Even having
asserted still, he rendered speechless, so swamiji
enjoined to tell problem whatever might be. Eventually
he intermittently expressed the situation. "Last night
Brahma came to me " after having repose he continued
"and urged with unassuming phonation". Further on he
added to get permission from you since he wants to see
you, said swami. When I advised him to go straight to
you he described his inability in doing so. I am sorry!
Swamiji ! told Brahma for this and entreated me to
provide it. On his behalf I am politely pleading you
"Please you should content his eye-eager". For so long
swamiji absorbed in contemplation just as he was
referring to Supreme God on this case. Swami then asked
Bhagavandas where he is. Indicating with his finger he
mentioned the place outside the temple where he was
awaiting. Melt hearted Swami kindly consented to let him
to come to him. Swamiji himself came out and graced
Brahma with his simple but sublime vision. As soon as
Brahma saw swami, he experienced abnormal and ineffable
gladness. He began to pray swami with unpretentious
terms as a poet describes the King. That every moment of
his life, He felt, is succeeded at that time. Shower
your grace and mercy upon us O! Swami! Said Brahma and
disappeared soon. After his departure swami rebuked
Bhagvan das with scolding voice not to let such impious
people visit me thenceforth. Such a pity soul doesn't
deserve to meet us. Again you should not bring such man
to me. Because the people, like Brahma, Indra and so on
are indecent and irreverent ascertained Swami. Secret of
this incident is very tangled and intractable.
Gunatitanand swami reluctantly agreed to give darshan to
the Brahma because of the appeal of Bhagavandas.
Supposing Brahma himself had been urged swami directly,
swami would have been prohibited him.
Such great personality he was!! Mere his name was so
meaningful that it has a boundless significance
epistemologically. Guna means the three types of product
of nature namely 1 Satva 2 Rajas 3 Tamas. The term Atit
signifies the aloofness from that early-mentioned
earthly virtues of Maya.The rest means the bliss. Thus
these three terms merged together constitute the meaning
of word Gunatitanand. At a conclusion simply a person
who feels joy to be beyond these three qualities of Maya
is called Gunatitanand.
In Dabhan during the great sacrificial charity he was
initiated by lord and given with this unique name of
Gunatitanand swami. After words he was also appointed at
the president ship of Junagadh temple where he spent
about forty years and extremely propagated satsang in
that region. In the samvat 1923 swamiji desired to leave
this mundane world, in Gondal. And there he left his
corporeal body. Before this however swamiji intended to
his body for divine abode. Shriji Maharaj ordained to
distribute spirituality in society. Of course by the
grace of god he was bestowed with age of many years when
his age was really finished. His work is very very
remarkable in the spreading of satsang.
