THE BEGINNING OF OM MANDALI
I am writing this to illustratehow as a result of
the sorrow I experiencedin my early childhood; I
remainedfree from the company of friends and bad
habitsand thus was able to engagemy intellect in my
studiesaswell asin devotionto God. If a holy gathering
was ever held by a sageor saint,I would be there. I
alsousedto be at the top of theclassin school. I would
playchessif I felt like playing. I hadbecomevery adept
at this. As I wasquitecleverin my studies,I received
a doublepromotion twice or thrice and at the age of
T2,rreachedthe matriculationlevel (normallvreached
at 15 years).
Becauseof thesesanskars,when Baba returned
from calcuttaandstartedsatsangin a smallold building,
andmy grandmotheradvisedme that Dadaji gavevery
goodsatsangs andthoselisteninghad a vision of God,
I very happily went there along with her. When we
arrivedthere.I foundthat Babawould reada coupleof
versesof the Gita and then explain their significance
basedon knowledge. The chantingof 'Om' followed
this. As soonasthe chantof 'Om' would begin,many
motherswould go into trance. Somewould hold Baba's
hand and dance and others would shout, 'Friends,
Krishnahascome!' and so on. On seeinsall this I was
The beginning of Om Mandli 11
amazedat how it was possiblefor anyoneto recelvea
vision of Sri Krishnawithout an intensedevotion. This
news spreadthroughoutthe city and somepeople said
that Dadahad learntmagic fiom Calcutta. They would
say that on the strength of that magic, Dada sent
innocent simple mothersinto trance.
As I did not really understandwhat washappening,
I stoppedgoing for a few days. But the satsangbegan
to grow and after sometimeBaba moved it to his own
'JashodaNiwas'. It was therethat togetherwith

the knowledge, Baba began to explain about pure
lifestyle, pure food and drink and divine virtues. There
was somuch of powerandmagneticattractionin Baba's
voice that those who heard it would instantly put into
practicewhat he said. Actually those of the Sindhi
community had learnt from foreign lands many dirtl'
habits,suchaseatingimpurefood,consumingcigarettes
and alcohol etc. Therefore,seeingsuchtransformation
in these Samepeople, the onlookers were amazed.
Seeingall this,I too begantogo daily. All my relatives
also beganto go and therewas greattransformationin
their lives. I beganto experiencethe bliss of such a
pure cleanlife. Many in the city were influencedin a
very good way. My mother'ssister,my grandmother,
QueenMother, Brij shalta andtheir families alsobegan
to come. My uncle,Hasaramwas a very well known
figure in the city. His firm JT Chanraiwasvery famous
anddueto this too a very goodimpressionwas created.

on.
Seeingthis the anti-Orn Mandali party beganto
burn with jealousy. They beganto makeplans on how
to spoil the atmospherein Karachi and decidedto take
out a processionagainstOm Mandali. They rvantedto
make a well-known persontheir leader. For this, they
persuadedSadhuVaswani, a well-known holy person
all over Sindh,to come onto their side. He was a firm
devoteeof Krishna, a renunciateand yogi. He was
told many misleadingthings and persuadedto leadthe
procession. sadhu vaswani agreedon the condition
that the processionwas peacefulandnon-violent. That
there should be no uproar, throwing of stonesor any
violence. But when the processionapproachedOm
Nivas, the uproar and stonethrowing began. Because
ofthis, one or two guardsaswell asbrothersand sisters
standingat the gate were injured.
The police were alreadypresentbecauseof the
processionand thereforethey arrestedthe leadersas
well as some of the people in the procession.Sadhu
vaswani was also arrested.Although he was released
the following duy,the whole incident greatly hurt him.
He experienceda lot of sorrow and left siding r,viththe
anti-Om Mandali party. The public also began to
sympathisewith Om Mandali.
In this w€ly,their first plan failed. They thenbegan
to devisea secondplan. At that time, the provinceof

HOW BABA TAUGHT ME ENGINEERING
When we had stayedin Kota Housefor threeyears,
the Rajasthan Goverriment asked us to vacate the
building. In the year195B,we cameto PokhranHouse.
Although the old building was very small, therewas a
lot of land around. Babaand someof the sistersstayed
in the puccahouseand the rest of us brothersstayedin

THE IMAGE OF HUMILITY

The labourersand constructionworkers used to
addressme as Babuji (sir) and Baba also began to
addressme assuch. This embarrassed me. Sucha big

with so muchhumility! Whenevertherewas occasion
for servicesuch as filling sand or operating the road
roller,Babawould call'thechildrenr.vhohad arrivedin

SeeingBaba so elderly, all the children would be
astounded.How can I describethe qualities of the
Fatherwho is completewith all qualities? OnceBaba
saidin the murli, 'You children must rememberShiv
Baba,the Ocean of Knowledge. You receive the
inheritancefrom Him. My (Brahma's) pockets are
empty. Brahma has surrenderedeverything to Shiv
Babaand so on.' When I sat for massagingBaba, I
saidwith a smile,'Baba,you cheatus childrena lot.'
Babasaidin surprise,'How do I cheatyou?' I laughed
and said, 'Baba you say that your pocketsare empty
andthat we don't receiveanythingfrom you. But we

BABABECAME KARMATEET
How can I describeeach characteristicof such
belovedBaba . . . ? I saw that day by day, Baba was
becomingdetachedfrorn physica.lthings. From t967
onward Baba's murlis were focussedon inculcating
divinevirtuesandon thepracticeof the bodiless,avyakt
stage.There would also be the practical experience
sometimesasif Babawasnot in the body. Eventhough
He would takea round of the yagya,listento the letters
receivedfrom the centres,dictatereplies,whilst doing
everything,He would remaindetached.We would also
reachthe soulworld aswe saw Baba'spracticeof that
stageandheardsuchmurlis. We movedaboutasif we

Once,whenBaba'camefor the night classand sat

whilst continuingto experiencethe stageof being
karmateet,suddenlythat greatday alsocamewhen Baba
practically attainedthe karmateetstageand suddenly
renouncedhis old body. It happenedso suddenlythat
we were all left wonder-struck. A few days before
this, Baba had said onceor twice in the murli that the
bestway to leavethe body was throughheartfailure.
The body is left in a secondwithout any sufferingof
karma. The soul having becomekarmateetdoesnot
haveany sufferingof k armaremainingand is therefore
able to leave the old body and fly away. The sense
organs,the heart,etc automaticallystop working. In
this way, without any sufferingofk arma,holdinglovely

Ali this happenedso suddenlythat we could not
believeour eyes. when the doctor cameand checked
thebody,he confirmedthatthe so'l wasno longerthere.
Then, Dadiji, who was filled with courage,beganto
phoneall the centresto tell them ofthe inevitabilityof

to Madhuban. Ar that time Didiji was in Allahabad.

THE REVELATION & FOOTSTEPS OF
BELOVED BABA
Eachone of Bapdada'sspiritualchildrenhas the
desireto revealBelovedBapdada.For only then will
the voice echoin the world 'O God, wonderfularethy
ways!" But this will be only whenwe childrenbecome
like a mirror - clean ahd clear, similar to the Father.
Only then can we give a vision of our Bapdadato the
world. Just as our Baba is called the Great Great
Grandfatherof the world, so we as His children are
also grandfathers. If we want to give a vision of the
Father through our thoughts, words and actions then
we too haveto put our stepsin eachfootstepof beloved
Baba and follow Him. Like Him, we haveto become
t h e e m b o d i m e n t o f k n o w l e d g e , p e a c e ,p o w e r ,
renunciation and tapasya and thereby become an
examplefor the many soulsthat areto come.So,let us
now seewhat werethe main aspectsof belovedBaba's
efforts - which we too have to follow and reach the
karmateetstagelike the Father.
THE FOOTSTEPS OF BRAHMA, THE FATHER
OF THE MANKIND
l. Firm Faith - You must haveexperiencedbeloved
Baba's firm faith from the very start. In the beginning
as soon as Shiv Baba showed the elevatedFather
Pitashri the vision of the destructionof this vicious
world; and He sawmany scenesof the new deity world
The revelation & .footstepso.f'belovecl
Baba 69
of heaven,Babahad the firm faith that now in the near
future,this vicious world was to facedestruction,and
the SupremeSoul was to establishthe new world of
heaventhroughHim. In the intoxicationof this faith,
Babaimmediatelyhandedover businessof millionsto
his partnerand in sheerdisinterestsenta telegramto
his family saying, 'Dada got God-realisationand the
partnergot temporaryroyalty of worldly wealth. Dada
(Alaph) receivedthe telegramand boardedthe train
leaving behind Him the false kingship and sat in the
original spiritualhome.' Having sudclenlyrenounced
all the luxuriesofthe world, Babareturnedto His home
city andbecameoccupiedin thetaskof awakeningmany
souls. He had suchfirm faith that He wasableto remain
unshakeablelike a rock in the faceof oppositionof the
entireSindhi community,throughalr the agitation.
Once the Collector invited Baba and said, .Tell
these mothers to gratify their husbands'sex-lust.'
Baba'sreplywasclear,'collector saheb,I simplyrelate
the knowledgeof the Gita to them. In it is written -
'Lust
is the greatestenemy' - to foilow this or not is
up to them. How canI forceanyoneto do this?' Seeing
belovedBabaremainso stablein His faith,we children
also got the courageto face all the agitation. In this
way many othertestscamebeforebelovedBaba. Many
newspapers levelledfalseallegationsagainstBaba. one
paperin particularwrote many falsethings" Babasent
them a letter saying,'I thank you very much that you

havegivenussomuchpubliciqvfreeofcost thaton reading
thearticles,manypeoplehavestartedto cometo us.' That
newspaperneverpublishedanythingfalseaboutBaba
again. Suchwasour Babaw-hoturnedsomebody,sfault
into our advantage.
Baba's youngerbrother,who had otherwisea lot
of regard for Baba, once came u.rd b"gan to throw
verbalabuseat Baba. Babagavehim very sr,veet drishti
and continuedto smile. ultirnately, he fert ashamed
and knelt at Baba'sfeet. This is virhysometimesBaba
would jokingly say that rhe Brahmin (BrahmaBaba)
was going his way and was caught unawares. shiv
BabaenteredHim and He had to listento abuse.Baba
sawall the agitationas a gameand continuedto smile.

describethe renunciationof Baba,the embodimentof
Renunciation.In one go he renouncedsucha rich life
and surrenderedeverything to the mothers. I saw
practicallyhorv Baba constituteda committeeof five
unique mothers,the head of whom was Om Radhe
(JagadambaMa). All the movable ancl immovable
property was willed in their name. Baba's children
signedan agreementthat they would not haveany rights
over it. Then Baba,the embodimentof renunciateate
andwore whateverwe childrendid. So much so that if
the kurtawastorn,he insistedthat it shouldbe patched.
He used to say, "At this time we are renunciates,

when such an elderly father can make the effort to
becomenumberone,then you young childrencan go
evenfurther aheado1'me. It is Shiv Baba'sgracethat
this chariothasbeenchosen.Shiv Babais your Father,
Teacherand SatgurLl.' In those days, I also had the
responsibilityof photography.wheneverpartiescame
from the centres,the brothersand sistersaskedme to
takeaphotoof themrvithBaba. They would say.,.We
reallywant this." WhenI u,entto askBaba,he would
say,'Buddhu, whatpllrposer,villrny photoserve?I am
not a guru whosepicture you would hang up in your
home.' I said,'seeingyollr photo.theywill remember
Shiv Baba,the one presentin this charict. Theyreally

Baba,who alwaysput shiv Rabain front andhid himserf

partofbeing a child whilst walking in thehills. whenever
therewas anyphysicalserviceto be done,Babawould be
the first to pick up the necessarytools. Seeingsuchan
elderlyfatherdo all typesofphysical work, the brothers
andsisterswho catnewould bewonder-struckandwould
alsobecomeengagedin service. Whilst doing all this
activity,Babawould alsoremindus aboutShiv Baba. If
he gaveteaching,it would be with so much love that it
touchedourhearts. It wasnot only with us childrenthat
Babawould interactwith somuch love like the ocean of
Love, but He also gaveinstructionsto the construction
workerscallingthem 'child,child'. He would neverorder
them. He would evenconsultthem. Suchwasour imase
ofhumility, inage oflorre,Baba.
4. The Brahmaputra (River) of Knowledge - Even
though the Ocean of Knowledge is one Shiv Baba,
BrahmaBaba showedus practicallyhow to becomea
Brahmaputra(river) of knowledge. Whenever there
was a gatheringor conferenceof holy people and an
invitationwould come,Babawould beginto churnthe
knowledge. He would wake up at L or 2am and write
a speechfor the children. He used to say 'Children,
theseare the points to explain in this way. Ask these
questionsand explainthe pictr"rres
in this way.' Baba
would thenexplainthis in the classtoo. He would give
instructionsto irnmediatelypost out thoselettersand
murlis to the children. Babawould say.'The children

wrote a speechof 50 pages for the children. After
