Importance of Indian Sub-continent
- On Kartik Sud 1st to 11th (Prabodhini Ekadasi) in Bhaktibaug,
Gadhada, Bhagwan Shree Swaminarayan asked Shukanand Muni to write
a letter to His Devotees (Hari-bhakts) about how scarce it
is to be born in India.Reference: "Harileela Mrut" granth,
6th Kalash, 11-12 Vishraam. "Harileela Mrut" granth was
written by Acharya Shree Viharilalji Maharaj
It has been written in many holy books (Granths) including Shreemat Bhagvat that it is very scarce to born as a
human-being in India. It takes about 100 Janams' punya (amount of good work collected in 100 lives of human-beings)
to born as a human-being in India. Even Indra and other Devtaa wish that they get to take a birth in India and get a Moksha.
It has been said, "Moksha can only be achieved by taking
a birth in India as a human-being and then pray Bhagwan with Dharma, Gnan, Vairagya and Bhakti."
Here is a summary of what is written is
"Harileela Mrut" holybook. The following is an overview
of the Universe (Brahmand)
- There are 14 Loks in this Universe, in which Mrutyulok is the best one.
- In Mrutyulok, there are 7 Seas (Samudra/Dhveep),
in which Jambu-dhveep (Jambu-Samudra) is the best one.
- In Jambu-dhveep, there are 9 Khands (Continents). In which Indian
sub-continent (Bharat-Khund) is the BEST. The reason is because
there are so many types Bhautik Sukhs (happiness) on those
8 Khands but there is no place to achieve Adhayatmik Moksha. There is only one place in the whole Universe to achieve Adhayatmik
Moksha and that is Bharat-Khund. That's why nothing in 14 Loks can even come close to Bharat-Khund.
- In Bharat-Khund, there are 25.5 Desh (divisions or countries)
which are considered under Indian sub-continent.
- However, only 12.5 out of 25 Desh (divisions) are the best in
Indian sub-continent because in these 12.5 divisions a person
would find a true Sadguru. The 12.5 divisions are listed
as following:
1. Purva (East), 2. Vraj, 3. Malav, 4. Maru, 5. Punjab, 6. Gujarat,
7. Dakshin (South), 8. Malbar, 9. Tilung (Tamil), 10. Dravid,
11. Barmalar, 12. Sorath (in Gujarat), 12.5 1/2 Kachha (in Gujarat).
In only these 12.5 Desh, one can always find a true and Pavitra Sadhus (Swamis/Saints). A person who is born in one of these 12.5
Desh will most likely understand the concept of Dharm, Gnan,
Vairagya, Bhakti and find a way to achieve Adhayatmik Moksha because there are many Avtars that Bhagwan took in these
12.5 Desh and so these Desh are considered to be the best. A person
in India who tries to achieve Adhayatmik Moksha and has
a true Sadguru (saint) will get the Adhayatmik Moksha.
Anyone who does not try will not get the Moksha and he/she
will go back in the cycle of 84 Lakhs (8.4 Million) of Janam-Marans
(birth-death) in different species (lives) throughout the world
. If a person had not committed sin yet he/she was not a true
devotee (meaning not having dharma, gnan, vairagya and bhakti)
of God will get to stay in heaven until he/she runs out of his/her
good karma. After that, he/she will return upon earth and go through
the cycle of 8.4 million different lives.
- Thus, if you get a birth in India and in one of the above 12.5
desh and do not pray to God then your birth (janam) in India is
a big loss to you.
