"The Establishment of Shri Sarveshwari Samooh Aimed at Bridging Society's Gap” - Pujyapada Aughad Gurupad Sambhav Ram Ji
It is a remarkable coincidence that our organization, Shri Sarveshwari Samooh, is celebrating its foundation day and Baba Kinaram Ji's Janm-shashti, both falling on the same day. Today, on September 21, day and night are of equal duration. This design of the divine - day and night, darkness and light, are equal for great souls. They treat everyone equally. However, if we do not follow the path they show us, we are left in darkness, and we fail to see the light, leading to various confusions.
In this creation, everything is a manifestation of the same divine, which is why they see no difference in it. Unfortunately, humans, trapped in various religions and beliefs, perform all sorts of reprehensible actions for their own gain and propagate harmful thoughts to others, leading them astray. The avatars of great beings, which we often refer to as Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh, are not avatars; they themselves permeate everything. It is said, "Sada Bhavani Dahine Sanmukhe Rahe Ganesh, Tinke Paga Vandan Karen Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh."
Maharaj Shri Baba Kinaram Ji's incarnation occurred during a time when the Mughals ruled this land for an extended period, creating an atmosphere of fear and tyranny in society. They protected many people from the atrocities of both these rulers and their own misled compatriots, inspiring even the rulers to change their ways. However, at that time, those who remained misguided continued to harm one another and commit acts of plunder. Maharaj Shri Kinaram Ji emphasized that in this materialistic body, the soul is paramount. But it's astonishing how we indulge in various harmful actions driven by our ego and ignorance. Today, we are getting further away from humanity, ensnared by the temptations of religious division.
Our actions today shape our future. By yielding to greed and attachment, if we harm or kill someone, we will have to suffer the consequences. We are bound in the cycle of time, destiny, and circumstances, and these great beings always say that the only way to attain liberation is by transcending all these bonds.
Previously, Aughad-Aghoreshwar lived away from the society and would come among the society in order to bring a change. Parampujya Aghoreshwar established Shri Sarveshwari Samooh because there was a significant gap in society. However, he also mentioned that he had incarnated in this body for the salvation of both you and ours, who had created our own hell among ourselves. There are very few individuals who, by adhering to his teachings, experience that heaven within themselves, in their homes, and everywhere they go. These are our own weaknesses, our intellect and wisdom remain veiled, and we are tormented. The Samooh is structured for the service of humanity.
Let us lead humanity from darkness towards light. My request to you is to perceive our nature within the nature of the Divine and strive to understand these aspects using your wisdom and intellect. This organization is for the entire nation and society. We must become powerful, not weak. We must have the ability to protect ourselves.

"Serving the Needy: The Divine Path to God" - Pujyapad Baba Aughad Gurupad Sambhav Ram Ji
Speaking on the Birth Anniversary celebration of Param Pujya Avdhoot Bhagwaan Ram, Pujyapad Baba Aughad Gurupad Sambhav Ram Ji delivered an insightful message. He emphasized the significance of following the illuminated path set forth by Gurudev, Aghoreshwar Mahaprabhu, for it is through this path that we can truly benefit. Aghoreshwar Mahaprabhu's profound wisdom, meticulously preserved in his literary works, serves as our guiding beacon in life's journey. As long as we depend on others, our capacity to create a meaningful impact remains limited. Self-neglect and a lack of self-leadership can lead us astray in the dazzling complexity of the modern era, diverting us from our genuine responsibilities.
In our society, many accumulate more possessions than they need, underscoring the importance of those who have the means to extend a helping hand to the underprivileged and needy. Aghoreshwar Mahaprabhu, through his teachings, emphasizes that such altruism is the path to God. Despite his own lack of needs, Aghoreshwar Mahaprabhu generously provided everything for both us and others.
Addressing some of the detrimental effects of democracy on society, Pujya Baba remarked, "Democracy is a noble concept, but it has unwittingly introduced certain ailments into our social fabric. Since its inception at the Gram Panchayat level, it has nurtured animosity and tainted the quality of our interpersonal interactions. In the past, mutual cooperation was the driving force behind our accomplishments."
Discussing the importance of nature, Pujya Baba highlighted the current trend of tree cutting in the name of development, resulting in ecological turmoil and the intensifying heat we experience today. Aghoreshwar Mahaprabhu's teachings encourage us to align our essence with the sublime essence of nature itself.
