Chitwani

From Here to There! (Virat Charchni)

Dear soul! The true purpose of the Divine Wisdom of Lord Prannath is to allow you to experience Nijanand or the

state of supreme eternal bliss. In it's true original nature, your soul is eternally blissful. What has happened is that the

souls have forgotten their true identity, eternal Home and their Lord Raj Shyamaji due to ignorance imposed by Maya,

the illusory power of Kshar Purusha Lord Adi Narayana.

Sincere study of the Divine Wisdom (Wani Manthan), living by its teachings (Reheni) and meditating upon the Divine

Sports of Paramdham (Chitwani) are the essential components of a true sundersath devotee's day-to-day life.

Chitwani is essentially a process in which a soul rises from this phenomenal world into eternity and in her Original

Abode.

The principle difference between Chitwani and meditation is that Chitwani is specifically focused on the Swaroop,

Leela and Dham described in the holy Kuljam Swaroop. Unlike meditation, in which an individual is left undecided

about the ultimate goal, Chitwani emphasizes remembrance and contemplation of the Kuljamic divine architect, divine

form, glory, beauty and blissful sports. Again, where individuals meditate with Omkar Jyoti Swaroop (Pranava), Gyan

Shakti Gayatri, Niranjana, Nirakaar, Sunyas, Anhad Naad (The Seven Swara-tunes) Seven Raagas, or Seven colors,

as their ultimate goal, their realization falls under the category of meditation. In brief, meditation enables an individual

to rise only up to the domain of Kshar Purusha (Kaalmaya), which in itself is the Dream of Akshar Brahmn.

First, let's understand the facts about the three worlds based on the scriptures, and as they are referenced in the Holy

Kuljam Swaroop and Bitak Saheb. The three Worlds are:

1. Kaalmaya,

2. Eternal Yogmaya, and

3. Paramdham

This impermanent physical world--Kaalmaya, the higher eternal world--Yogmaya, and the supreme eternal heaven--

Paramdham. This Supreme Heaven is the abode of the Supreme Brahmn, who is called Sachidananda in Hindu

Vedas, Allah in Koran, and Lord of Lords and King of Kings in Bible. This Paramdham is the soul's focus in Chitwani.

Kaalmaya (Kshar):

As we begin Chitwani, our soul first rises beyond the domain of this physical world, becomes free from the worldly

thoughts of addition (+) and subtraction (-) and worldly attachments. The soul rises above the thoughts of birth and

death, growth and decay.

Kaalmaya is the domain of the ‘Kshar Purusha,’ which is subject to four categories of Pralayas or dissolution. This

world is called Mrityu Loka, sandwiched between the seven Patal Loka below and the six lokas above.

Counting from the Mrityu Loka, the seven Patal Lokas are: Atal, Vital, Sutal, Talatal, Mahatal, Rasatal and Patal. Below

Patal Loka is the Kshir Sagar (Garbhodak Samudra) where Sheshshayi Narayana is present.

Again, counting upward from the Mrityu Loka, are these six lokas: Bhuvar, Swarag, Mahar, Jan, Tup and Sat Loka.

The Sat Loka (Vaikuntha) includes the abodes of the three god -heads Brahmaji, Vishnuji and Shankarji. The Swarga

Loka is the abode of Lord Indra, Varuna and the 330 million gods and goddesses. It dissolves along with all the lower

chitwani2 http://www.nijanand.org/new/chitwani2.htm

Page 3: Nijanand cosmology

Lokas during Neimittik Pralaya.

The Eight Cosmic Envelopes (earth, water, fire, gas, sky, mind, intellect and ego) surrounds these fourteen Lokas. In

order, each one surrounds the other (i.e., earth surrounded by water, water by fire and so on). In order, each one is

ten times larger than the one they surround (i.e., the envelop of water is ten times that of earth, fire ten times water,

and so on.) A Jiva do attain four Muktis (Saloka, Samipya, Saroop, and Sayuja) through Navdha Bhakti, however, can

not cross these eight envelopes.

Beyond the Eight Envelopes, are the domains of Omkar Jyoti Swaroop (Pranava), Gyan Shakti Gayatri, Niranjana,

Nirakaar and Mah tatwa (Vyasti). During Prakrit Pralaya, all these domains seize to exist.

Beyond that is the domain of the seven Sunyas, seven Swara (tunes) Seven Raagas, and Seven colors. Above that is

the Unmuni Itchha Shakti, the four aspects (vyuha) of Maha Vishnu, and lord Maha Vishnu Adi Narayana himself. All

entities upto this point are surrounded by Maha Sunya, Moh Tatwa (samasti) or Maha Maya. It is called Kshar

Brahmand of Kshar Purusha, which is also subject to Final Dissolution. This is the domain of Apara Prakriti or

Kaalmaya.

Eternal Yogmaya

Beyond Kaalmaya is the bright and glorious eternal realm of Yogmaya of Akshar Brahmn. For easy understanding,

this realm can be divided in four aspects or padas:

Avyakrit Brahmn (Akshar's mind),

Sablik Brahmn (Akshar's Chitta),

Keval Brahmn (Akshar's Buddhi), and

Sat Swaroop Brahmn (Akshar's Ahankaar).

The domain of Avyakrit Brahmn begins with Prakriti Purusha (Rodhini Shakti, Upper Pranava Brahmn) and the origin

of Mool Gayatri (the source of the Five Vedas).

Above that is Kaal Niranjan swaroop and the principle origin of the seven Maha Sunyas, Seven Swara (tunes), Seven

Raagas, and Seven colors. (The seven Sunyas, Swaras, Raagas, and Rangas within the domain of Kshar Purusha

are mere reflections of these originals!). Above that is Mool Prakriti (Original Nature--the original architect) or the

Sumangla Shakti, who has a significant role in universal creation.

Above Avyakrit, in the realm of Sablik Brahmn, is present Chidanand Leheri who is the Origin of Maha Jiva Adi

Narayana consciousness. This is the domain of Panch Shiva (Naad Shiva, Brahmn Shiva, Sada Shiva, Para Shiva,

and Shiva). Once Mool Prakriti makes creation, Chidanand Leheri sends life (Maha Jiva Adi Narayana) to expand it.

Above Chidanand Leheri is the domain of Akhand Brij and Akhand Rass lila.

Above Sablik Brahmn is the realm of Keval Brahmn, where the Brahmn Srishti souls once played Maha Rass Lila

(Ghar thi teet, brahmand thi algo..).

Above Keval Brahmn is the realm of Sat Swaroop Brahmn. This is the abode of Akshar Brahmn's two archangels

Gabriel and Asrafeil.

The Supreme Abode Paramdham:

As the eternal Yogmayic domain ends, the Ultimate domain of eternal bliss begins. Prannathji calls this top-most

spiritual world as 'Paramdham.' Every particle of this Paramdham is the real embodiment of Truth, Consciousness,

and Bliss. Awakening in this Supreme Abode is the ultimate goal of the Souls practicing the Path of Nijanand

Sampradaya. It is the Heaven of Supreme Truth God as the Christians call it. It is Paramdham as the Hindu scriptures

call it. And, it is the Arsh-E-Azim, as the Muslims call it. In essence, the only difference is in language!

Key Facts about Paramdham:

chitwani2 http://www.nijanand.org/new/chitwani2.htm

3 of 13 12/28/2011 12:13 PM

Page 4: Nijanand cosmology

Like the Supreme Lord Himself, His Supreme Abode or Paramdham is also an embodiment of Truth,

Consciousness, and Bliss. It is Infinite (Anantha) and Unity (Advaita) in all respect.

The whole Paramdham represents only one fundamentally original and supreme element called Noor Tatwa.

(Note that our universe of Kaalmaya represents the 24 elements, including the five gross elements.)

This Noor Tatwa is the most complete and can only be expressed with our limited languages as eternal, divinely

comforting, soft, ever conscious, glorifying, and filled with pleasing light and all kinds of pleasant scents.

All that exists in His highest domain of Paramdham is Brahmn and Brahmn alone.

Whatever actions are performed, the means and material of those actions, and the Doer Himself are all

Brahmn.

True oneness (non-duality or Advaita), exists only in Paramdham, no where else.

Like the Lord, His Paramdham is also Whole, which emerges from Whole.

The blissful sports of the Lord are referred to as Swa-Lila-Advaita, which means that the same Lord performs

all sports simply by His assuming the forms of Shyamaji and Souls. Explaining Swa-Lila-Advaita, the Lord says:

Aur toh koi hai nahin, bina eak hakk jaat |

Jaat mahen hakk vahedat, hakk hadi giroh kehlaat ||

(Kuljam Swaroop, Si: 23)

Everything described separately in worldly terms regarding Paramdham is, in fact, one integral part of the Supreme

Lord.

Paramdham is ever dynamic. It is the most complete and the most fulfilling. When we say that nothing can be

added or removed, it is to show the eternal nature of the Paramdham. It's ever-dynamic nature can be

experienced by learning more about the divine sports explained the Holy Kuljam Swaroop. It is so self-sufficient

that everything constantly modifies to accommodate the sports inspired by the Supreme Lord! The sense of

lacking is unknown in this Land of Bliss.

No carpenter has carved, no painter has painted --the walls, the gates and windows of the temples of the

Paramdham. It's all divinely charged or chetan with the noor tatwa.

In a deeper sense, the Lord’s Lotus Feet are the Brahmn Srishti Soul’s Paramdham. Conversely, Brahmn

Srishti Souls’s heart is the Dham of our Lord Shri Raj Shyamaji.

Dear soul! No world scripture has ever described the divine beauty of such a Supreme Heaven. But, through Shri

Prannathji’s Grace, you are about to begin your spiritual journey to Paramdham.

Paramdham: Brief Overview

These worldly words are insufficient to describe the divinity and the beauty of the Supreme Heaven. However, through

our Lord's Divine Grace, we have been able to realize it. To awaken our soul, He has made this impossible decent.

He described some of the beauty of our Supreme Abode so we can recall our originality. Through these verses, the

Lord describes the 25 Divine Places, or paksha, of Paramdham.

Dham talaav kunj ban johein, manek naheren ban ki sohei |

Paschim chogan badovan kahiye, yon pukhraj jamunaji lahiye ||

Athon sagar aatha jimeekei, eah pachis paksha hai dham dhani kei |

(Kuljam Swaroop:

In other words, the 25 pakshas are:

The central Palace called Rang Mohol1 is in the center. The Hauj Kosar Lake2, Kunj and Nikunj Gardens3,

Manek Mohol4, and Canals for the Forests5 (Ban) are situated south of the Rang Mohol.

chitwani2 http://www.nijanand.org/new/chitwani2.htm

4 of 13 12/28/2011 12:13 PM

Page 5: Nijanand cosmology

The Western Plain called Paschim Chogan, 6 Noor Garden (Noor Baug), Flower Garden (Ful Baug), Grains

and Vegetable Gardens (Anna Ban), and Lawns to sit (Dub Dulicha) are all in the west of the Rang Mohol.

North of the Rang Mohol is the Red Platform (Lal Chabutara), Khadokali, the Forest of Palm (Taad Ban),

Madhu Ban, and Maha Ban.

The trees of the Greater Forest7 (Bado Ban) are encircling Paramdham.

North of Rang Mohol is a very tall Pukhraj Mountain8, and Hauj Koshar Lake to the south.

The River Yamuna9 (Jamuna) originates from the Pukhraj Mountain. It flows Eastward, then makes a

90-degree turn, flows from between the seven gardens (forming seven Ghats), and makes another 90-degree

turn to reach the Hauj Koshar Lake.

Surrounding all these Places are the Eight Oceans, 10-17 and the 8 Great Lands18-25 between each one of

them.

The Rang Mohol:

Rang Mohol, the central palace with nine floors and the tenth balcony is in

the center of Paramdham. The plinth of the Rang Mohol is one story high.

In front of the main entrance on its first floor, is a wide-open stair with 80

steps and 20 landings. The main entrance is two-story high and it has a

mirror-designed two-leaf door.

Inside, on the first floor, is the cooking and eating area, and Mool Milava--the Meeting Place for the souls and

the Lord. This is the place from where the souls are experiencing the present worldly drama.

The mirror-walls of the second floor enable Rajji and the souls to play hide-and-seek games.

The third floor has a large viewing gallery (Zarokha) and a varandah (Padsaal). The Lord, His Consort Shyama

Ji, and the Souls come here in the morning. From here, the Lord offers His Love of Sight to all the Creatures

and Akshar Brahmn. The souls prepare the Perfect Divine Couple with all kinds of beautiful ornaments and

jewelry. The Lord takes breakfast and lunch at this place, and enjoys the dance of His favorite Soul.

The Fourth floor provides the space for the evening dance programs.

The fifth floor is mainly the sleeping floor. The Lord’s sleeping area is called Rang Parwali (Red) Mandir.

The sixth floor is the waiting area for the planes and helicopters called Sukhpaal.

The seventh and the eighth floors occupy the two-way and the four-way swings respectively.

The ninth floor is the viewing floor from where one can enjoy the beauty of the entire Paramdham.

The tenth balcony has excellent gardens, fountains, and sitting areas with flags on their domes.

Based on this treasure, a seeking soul is directed to meditate upon it every moment.

The Divine Oceans (Sagar) of Paramdham:

The entire Paramdham is non-dual - unity - made from one supremely divine element 'Noor.' The Eight Oceans of

Paramdham represent the eight organs of Sri Rajji, and therefore, they are all inter-linked. Out of these eight oceans,

Ocean #s 1,4,6 and 8 (Noor, Dadhi, Madhu and Meher) reflect the beauty and the glory of Rajji. Ocean #s 2,3,5 and 7

(Neer, Khir, Dhrut and Rus) reflect the beauty and glory of Shyamaji.

Page 6: Nijanand cosmology

Seven of the Oceans merge into Meher Sagar. For this reason, it is also called Servarus Sagar. It offers the taste of

all the seven oceans. Meher Sagar offers the supreme power, brilliance and glory of the Noor Sagar, and the blissful

calmness and beauty of the Neer Sagar. Meher Sagar brings the glittering oneness of the Khir Sagar and the infinite

peace and coolness of the Dadhi Sagar. Meher Sagar brings limitless Love (Ishak) and affection of Dhrut Sagar, the

confidence of Divine Knowledge (Elam) of the Madhu Sagar, and the unique taste of Divine relationship (nisbat) of the

Rus Sagar. In this way, Meher Sagar brings the divine qualities of all of the oceans. It symbolizes the complete

Paramdham. Meher Sagar is Sri Rajji's Purna Swaroop.

Step-By-Step Chitwani

Getting Ready:

Find a quiet place and time, preferably early morning before sunrise or at bedtime.

Ensure that the area or room for Chitwani is as clean and pious as possible.

Light incense (agarbatti) or a lamp, which contributes to create a suitable devotional environment.

Setup two mats (ashana), one for yourself and another for your True Master (Satguru) in front of each other.

Choose a suitable posture in which you can feel relaxed. However, it is essential that you maintain your spinal

cord in natural straight position as you practice Chitwani.

Begin Chitwani:

Keep your eyes closed and invite your Satguru spiritually near you. Feel your Satguru’s constant presence

around you. He is here to guide you on your spiritual journey.

Begin reciting Tartam as many times as you want to build concentration and harmony in your thoughts.

Now feel that your Satguru is leading your soul in the higher realms.

I experience myself rising above. Now, he is introducing to me the domain of the ‘Kshar Purusha.’ Here I see

the Swarg Loka, the abode of Lord Indra. Above that is the Vaiknkutha, the abode of the three godheads –

Brahma, vishnu and Mahesh.

I crossed the eight envelopes of earth, water, gas, fire, sky, mind, intellect and ego beyond the fourteen Lokas.

Now I am passing by the Gyan Shakti Gayatri, the domain of the Niranjana, Nirakaar and Moh tatwa.

Furthur, I entered the domain of the seven Sunyas and seven Swara (tunes). My soul listens to these soothing

sounds.

However, since my destination is Paramdham, I continued further and crossed Kaalmaya, the domain of Lord

Adi Narayana.

Now, my Satguru is taking me to a bright and glorious eternal realm of Yogmaya.

As I enter the realm of Avyakrit Brahmn, first I see the original Gayatri the source of the Fiva Vedas. Above that

is Kaal Niranjana, and Mool Prakriti or the Sumangla Shakti, who has a significant role in universal creation.

As I rise higher in the realm of Sablik Brahmn, I see Akhand Brij and Akhand Rass lila in which once my soul

played as milkmaid, and in which my Lord played as Sri Krishna.

However, since I know that my Lord is not in these Lilas, my Satguru guided me to the realm of Keval Brahmn,

where once I played Rass Lila with my Lord.

However, since my destination is Paramdham, I continued further, crossed the realm of Sat Swaroop Brahmn

and found myself on the border of Paramdham.

The Supreme glory of Paramdham appears to be filling my heart with extreme joy. Being anxious to meet my

Lord, quickly I began entering my True Home.

Here, I see the great Ocean of Sri Rajji’s amazing Grace (Meher Sagar), the Gate of Paramdham. Here I feel

all divinely blissful tastes. Aur sagar jo meher ka, so shobha ati leit | Laheren aavey meher sagar, khubi sukh

samet || It is shining with it’s full glory in the East of my Lord’s Divine Palace, the Rang Mohol. Its divinely

charged waves unceasingly bring about the infinite treasure of eternal joy and happiness to me.

His grace is going to enable me to enjoy the happiness of the 25 Pakshas of Paramdham. These are the

twenty-five Divine Places of Paramdham.

Dham talaav kunj ban johein, manek naheren ban ki sohei |

Paschim chogan badovan kahiye, yon pukhraj jamunaji lahiye ||

Athon sagar aatha jimeekei, eah pachis paksha hai dham dhani kei |

(Kuljam Swaroop)

Passing through the forests, canals and gardens, I approached the Kel Pool on the River Jamuna. After

crossing the Jamanaji, I turn left towards Paat Ghat.

The bright and clean water of Jamanaji, Invited me to take bath. As I came out of the water, here I see the noori

garlands and ornaments waiting to get me ready to meet Sri Rajji.

As soon as I wore the noori singar, I started walking towards the Rang Mohol through Amrut Van (Mango

Forest).

Look! Amrut Van ends here. Now, I see the divine brilliance of the Chadani Chalk, glorified by the green tree on

my right, the red tree on my left and the beautiful Rang Mohol.

I see this central palace with nine floors and the tenth roof with it’s one story high plinth. I began climbing a

wide-open front stairs with 80 steps and 20 landings. Now, I stood in front of the gorgeous mirror-designed

two-story main entrance.

And the noori door welcomed me inside a wide-open, two-story high porch (Chawk of artistically carved 28

pillers) of the Rang Mohol.

Then I proceeded to the first square Haveli, which is the cooking and eating area. Ahead of me is the three

stepped raised square platform (Chabutara).

Being eager for Sri Rajji’s Darshan, I quickly passed through four such Havelis.

As I came out of the forth Haveli, in front of me, I saw a round Haveli and entered it. My eyes are now staring

happily at the most attracting Mool Milava--the Meeting Place for the souls and the Lord on the round platform

(Chabutara).

On the top of the Mool Milawa is shining a Noori canopy. The 64 noori pillars are shining all around the circular

Mool Milawa. Our Lord Sri Raj Shyama Ji—the Perfect Divine Couple--is seated on the Noori throne. I see all

souls positioned very close--hands-in-hands--in the lotus feet of Sri Rajji.

Ean vidh saathji jagiye,

bataaye deun re jivan |

Shyam shyamaji sathji,

taley bhom baithe hai jahin ||

Eah mool milava apna,

najar dijey eat |

Palak na pichhey feriye,

jyon ishak anga upjat ||

This Darshan reaffirmed my faith about the Mool Milawa from where I am experiencing this present worldly

drama. I started praying: Let me not move my spiritual sight from Mool milawa’ even for a flicker of an eye! Let

me merge into my par-atam (oversoul); so I can begin to enjoy the blissful sports with my Lord. Standing in the

lotus feet of Sri Rajji, I made a humble request (Aarji) to Sri Rajji: “O my Lord! My Saheb! Whatever you wanted

to do with me has already happened. Whatever is in your mind, that’s what is happening to me. In the future,

only what you want will happen. Never separate me from your lotus feet.

Dear soul! You have just finished one sample of Chitwani. As you practice more, it will become a natural process, and

chitwani2 http://www.nijanand.org/new/chitwani2.htm

you will find the experience, which will be evolutionary in nature.

Lotus Feet : Chitwani

(Charan kamal: Sagar: Ch 6)

Dear Souls! Shyamaji represents the bliss part of Aksharateet Sri Rajji. We, the souls, are the expression of Sri

Shyamaji’s bliss. When the souls descended in this material world, Shyamaji descended as True Master or Sat Guru

to bring all of us back to our eternal home, Param Dham. Therefore, in this world, seeking refuge in the lotus feet of

Shyamaji is an absolute necessity. There is no other way. A soul can reach Rajji, and hence Param Dham, only

through Shyamaji. Nijanand shall come surely through Shyamaji. Therefore, let’s seek refuge in Shyamaji’s lotus feet.

Pranamji.

Keep Me in Your Lotus Feet, Oh My true Master! Your Lotus Feet are My Life--my Life of Life

these lotus feet.

Oh Shyamaji! Your lotus feet are my beauty. They are my ornaments, and my happiness. They make me special in

this world. Therefore, they are life of my life.13

Chit kheinch liya ean charnon, mhen sab vidh kari dhan dhan |

Eah sifat karun kyon ean juban, mere jiv ke eahi jivan ||15

These lotus feet have overwhelmed my heart with joy. They have enriched all aspects of my life. How can I praise

their glory with my tongue? Truly, they are life of my life.

Oh Rajji! Do as you wish. I realize that no one but the soul of Param Dham qualifies for these lotus feet. 16

Karat charan puri meher, tin sarup aavat puran |

Pyar pura taaye aavat, mere jiv ke eahi jivan || 18

Whoever receives the grace of these lotus feet, realizes the Swaroop of the Perfect Divine Couple Aksharateet Sri Raj

Shyamaji. The heart of such an individual fills with nothing else but Ishak or love.

These lotus feet are the biggest gift that our Rajji has brought for us from our eternal abode Param Dham. How can I

afford losing something gifted by Sri Rajji? 19

Now, Sri Rajji has enlightened me from all sides. I enjoy being in Shyamaji’s lotus feet all day and all night, round the

clock. They are my life essence. 20

Mahamat chahey ean charan ko, kar mansa vacha karman |

Aaye baithey mere sab angon, mere jiv ke eahi jivan ||21

Finally, like Mahamati, let me seek these lotus feet with all my mind, speech and actions. Let them occupy all my

organs—every atom of my being.

Oh Lord! How can I afford being away from these lotus feet?

Kuljam Swaroop: Singar Ch: 8

Dear sundersathji! Let's realize our eternal relationship with Rajji. Let's surrender completely to His divine grace and

experience the blissful sports and the glory of the Paramdham. For this, we must soften our hearts with His love. Now

is the time to seek our Lord's glorious Lotus Feet. How can His souls remain separate from them --even for a

moment? Before beginning to read, just take a brief tour of the 25 Pakshas of the Paramdham first with the help of the

Translation

Indrawati speaks to Sri Rajji:

O my Lord, Sri Raj Shyamaji! I am your soul.

Let my life pass in the meditation of your brilliantly red lotus feet.

First, let me recall the last moments before our separation.

Let me refresh our conversation in the Mool Milawa.

I very well remember the moments when all of us asked for this worldly drama.

We wanted to prove the superiority of our love.

Now that I am awake, I can’t stay away from your divine lotus feet.

In sleep, dream or waking, my heart is in your lotus feet.

Guaranteed, we will return to our bliss-form through your grace.

The curtain of ignorance will disappear.

All Souls will meet you face-to-face.

All Souls shall enjoy the blissful sports of the Paramdham.

O Lord! Let your soft and pure hearted soul circumambulate the entire Paramdham.

Let me do so while being with your divine lotus feet.

Oh Lord! How can I afford being away from these lotus feet?

These lotus feet enable my soul to experience the infinite happiness.

Now, I experience the divine beauty of the Chandni Chawk in front of the Rang Mohol.

My heart is filled with joy from innovative dancing and gymnastic talents of the noori birds and the animals.

Having found this joy, the insane souls want to sacrifice everything of worldly nature for these gracious lotus feet.

Having totally surrendered this way, Sri Rajji showered His grace upon all of us.

He has purified and awakened us.

Indrawati speaks to other comrade Souls:

O my comrade soul! Do you recall the joy of monsoon in the gardens and palaces of the Paramdham?

Do you recall the joy of monsoon in the company of Sri Raj Shyamaji in the forests of Paramdham? 10

How about those days of monsoon, during which the showers fell according to the wish of the souls?

Do you recall the time in the gardens when the sky was filled with clouds and the blissful sound of the thunderbolts?

Do you recall the lightening of Noor during this time when we used to be with Raj Shyamaji in the forests?

See, how the entire Paramdham is filled with the Noori light!

How can my soul quit the company of these lotus feet?

Look, how lovingly Rajji is playing with the birds and the animals?

The peacocks are entertaining Sri Rajji with their artistic dance!

Even the souls are sharing their love by playing with these birds and animals.

How can our souls remain glued to this dream-like non-existent world? 16

O the players on the grounds of the seven Gahats of the river Yamunaji!

Look, how Sri Rajji is allowing you to drink the Wine of Ishak (love) through the Bottle of His heart!

And, all the Souls have become unconscious by over-drinking the Wine of Ishak!

How can these Souls quit these gracious lotus feet which are their Nisbat? 19

Just recall the time of enjoyment in the opposing swings of the palaces of the two bridges on the bank of the river

Yamunaji.

Enjoy the beautiful reflection of these bridges in the clear water of Yamunaji.

Recall the sports of bathing and swimming on the bank of Yamunaji in the company of Sri Raj Shyamaji.

Recall all of us wearing the self-fulfilling ornaments and garlands on the Paat Ghaat of Yamunaji.

See, how beautiful the gathering of the Souls looks in the gardens of Paramdham?

How sweetly filled is the environment of the forests with the sounds and calls of the birds and the animals!

Lets play with Rajji and Shyamaji in the Kunj Ban, let's play on the swings in the Choki of Bat Pippal.

How can our souls afford quitting this joy?

The beauty of the lake Hauj Koshar and the surrounding forest in the South of Rang Mohol,

The beauty of the Tapu Mohol (Island Palaces) in the center of the Hauj Koshar,

The beauty of the four Ghats of Hauj Koshar where Yamunaji meets the Lake,

The beauty of the artistic Mehrab (arch)?

On these four Ghats (quay) of Hauj Koshar?

What a joyful time for souls when they swing and jump from branch-to-branch in the gardens of Hauj Koshar! 30

The souls find comfort by playing in the palaces of the island and then relaxing in the porches (Zarokas). Recall the

time we used to enjoy the coolness on the terrace (chandni) of this Island palace.32

If the souls recall the whirling flow of water through the covered canals of jewels, how can they quit these enabling

lotus feet?

The countless palaces in the Mountain of Ruby (Manek), varieties of ponds, canals, swings and the waterfalls forming

a thin sheet-like appearance. Look at how the souls used to play around the canals of the forests, which originate from

the oceans and again merge into them.36

Very tall fort-like buildings appear on the beaches of these oceans, Island palaces also shine in these oceans. How

can the souls quit the lotus feet that lead to such a magnificent divine land? 37

Glance in the west, an open land, there is no forest on this side. Look the beauty of the Dub Dulicha! Let's enjoy the

rides on varieties of animals in this western ground.

Come closer to the Rang Mohol,

Do you smell all imaginable varieties of fragrances from the Flower Garden and the Noor Garden below?

Enjoy these color-filled gardens.

Sweet and slow breeze of fragrance of these flowers are filling the whole Paramdham.41

The branches of the forests have formed an umbrella, which looks as if a decorative lustrous ceiling has been affixed.

Peacocks, Chakor, songbirds, and the Kukoos release a variety of loving sounds in the air of the forests.

How can the souls, who play and bathe near the splashing fountains afford to quit these lotus feet? 45

The sports of the souls on the Red Chabutara (raised platform) on the north side of the Rang Mohol, the dance and

gymnastic of the elephants of different colors, sounds and dance of lions, leopards, and tigers look most exciting from

this Red Platform.47

Here, the monkeys play music of all kinds.

See the birds diving and flying artistically and strategically.

The joy of Madhuban is all-satisfying.

The sports in the palaces of Pukhraj,

The four pillars like four trees of Pukhraj Mountain merge at the top.

The souls enjoy the moonlight time on the terrace of the Pukraj Palaces.

Four giant gates are visible in four directions on the terrace of the Pukhraj Mohol.

Hundreds of groups of elephants come here along with other countless birds and animals for the Darshan of Sri

Rajji.57

Tall Havelis (mansions) add to the beauty of this terrace of Pukhraj Mohol, where birds and animals assemble.

Each mansion has four gates and a raised platform with the top covered in front of each gate.

The fun and joy on the sky-touching palaces and their top domes are undescribable.61

Come to the base of Pukhraj-the Pukhraj pond from where emerge Yamunaji.

Recall our sports on this pond.

Look at the palaces of jewels, on the bank of the Pukhraj Pond.

Look on both sides of these palaces,

Five tall trees of the Big Forest.

The half-covered water reservoir (Adhbich kund) from where falls water in 16 thin sheet-like forms.

On both sides of this reservoir, are two domes (guraj)

On both sides of these 16 water falls are special palaces with big open floor spaces (dehlan, padsaal) 66

The bungalows and the forest add to the beauty underneath the pond.

The flow of the water forms a whirling pattern here.

All around the bungalows, the beautiful statues of animals are seen spraying water in different pattern from their

mouths.

These sprays of water appear forming colorful arches.

Sometimes, they form chain-like appearances in the air.

Look, the water of the fountains crosses the reservoirs and falls on the other end.

We used to play with Rajji and Shyamaji underneath these fountains.

And, the water passes from above them.72

Underneath the Pukhraji pond, gardens are formed in the shade of the forest, where the souls play joyfully.

Few canals come out from the covered platform in a whirling pattern and merge into Yamunaji.75

The branches of the forest lean on the covered platform and the Original reservoir (Mool Kund) of Yamunaji.

Halfway, the flow of Yamunaji is covered from the Original reservoir.

What a beautiful seating arrangement!

Walk further in the east and see open Yamunaji with covered banks.

From here and up to the Kel Pool (Banana Bridge), on both sides of the River, see the pattern of one palace and one

raised platform.79

See how Yamunaji makes a 90-degree turn in south and passes from the front of Rang Mohol.

Look! How beautiful it looks!

The seven quays (ghat) beautify the area between the two bridges-the Kel Pool (Banana) and the Bat Pool (Banian

Bridges).81

Now, look how Rang Mohol and Akshardham are positioned on the exactly opposite ends of the Yamuna.82

The glory of both Akshardham and Paramdham fills the sky with the Noori light.

How fortunate are the residents of the Noori Paramdham!

The souls are the blissful part of Sri Rajji.

Realizing all this, how can these souls even forget the lotus feet of Sri Raj Shyamaji? 84
