Master’s Messages
"My Great Satguru Sant Ajaib Singh Ji used to say that
one should consider oneself to be extremely fortunate,
if one gets the opportunity to participate in a program
of meditation, Satsang, and singing the greatness and
glory of the Beloved Satguru anywhere in the world. This
opportunity of being together for these few days, in His
Divine remembrance, is therefore not only very valuable,
but is also God Sent, and should be made full use of.
Let each one of us utilize every single bit of the time
available here to our own best advantage, forgetting the
world and worldliness. There is all and every hope that
seeing our urge and keenness, Satguru Ajaib will have
mercy upon us, come to our rescue and help us achieve
our objective of progressing in the inner Path. As a
brother in faith, my good wishes are there with each one
of you, dear ones, for any help, assistance and
guidance, which you may need in the matter of
meditation. I am your full time and humble sevadar with
no wage or esteem whatsoever."
Sadhu Ram
"All of you dear ones are welcome in this program from
the depths of my heart. I realize and appreciate the
efforts that you have made and the difficulties that you
have faced in reaching here, very far from your hearths
and homes.
This is the work of my Beloved Satguru, Sant Ajaib Singh
Ji Maharaj. I am nothing but a puppet in His Hands and
would just do what he bids me to do. As you know he was
the manifestation of Sat Purush and had assumed a human
body, which is invariably a place of suffering, only for
our sake. His Great and Gracious guru, Sant Kirpal Singh
Ji Maharaj, had told Him lovingly that there were many
people who could explain the theory beautifully in
flowery words, but having no inner ascent and
achievement to their credit, and not having realized God
nor even the self, they themselves were in darkness and
also led others into the ditch of ignorance. He had
therefore advised His Gurumukh Son, beloved Sant Ji, to
ensure that this sacred and inner Path of
God-Realization-namely, of meditation, sacrifice, and
surrender-should always remain open for those sincere
and seeking souls who are fed up with the world and
worldliness and want to be rid of them so they can meet
God.
My merciful Guru, Beloved Sant Ji, also told me
forcefully, despite my humble protest: "I have made you
do the Simran and Meditation like a brave warrior and
have made you My Own Self. Now it is your duty to
connect the souls who are dissatisfied with the world,
its affairs and attachments and who want to meet God
sincerely, by persuading them to extricate themselves
gradually from the ever rising sweep of passions and
possessions, me and mine, pride and prejudice, and name
and fame, and to meditate with the technique in which I
have made you perfect. This will enable them to progress
inwardly, and traveling up plane by plane, with their
own sustained efforts and with the unbounded grace of
the Guru, they will reach their eternal home in due
course of time."
"Dear ones, I know that most of you are keen and anxious
to meet me. May I tell you that I too have a strong and
surging desire to meet each one of you for two main
reasons: first, to be able to see the spectacle of my
Great Guru manifest inside each one of you in various
hues and colors, and second, to inquire about your
spiritual well being-about which beloved Sant Ji is
immensely worried, wishing it to improve sooner rather
than later- and to offer my humble assistance and help
to those who have any problem whatsoever on this
account. In this way our hearts, dry and dreary as they
have become, may be refreshed and re-greened with the
spiritual water of Satsang, and we may be inspired to
take to Simran and meditation with renewed zeal and
enthusiasm to register inner progress and development.
Esteemed brothers and sisters, this is the main purpose
for which I have traveled such a long distance and come
here. I am a poor man and to remain away from my work by
which I earn my living is not easy. But it is the grace
and kindness of Beloved Sant Ji, which has brought me
here amidst all of you, His spiritual children, for the
benefit and upliftment of your souls.
So, dear ones, don't hesitate, don't keep thinking. Come
with as open a heart as you can, and with as clean and
clear a mind as you can make it, and avail yourselves of
my sincere and selfless service and seva. I hope that
you understand why I am pressing you to come forward
with your problems and difficulties about meditation,
for if these are removed with my help and seva, then you
will be encouraged to devote more time towards Simran
and meditation; and the more time you will give, with no
hurdles and hardships in between, the more you will
progress, and the more will be the pleasure of my Guru.
After all, what is the highest thing we all wish for on
this Path? The happiness, acceptance and pleasure of
Sant Ji. And if we achieve that by doing the meditation,
correctly and constantly, then what further remains to
be done? Our purpose of life stands fulfilled.
I therefore beg of you, my dear brethren-in-faith, to
get your problems in meditation solved and to focus
whole heartedly and single-mindedly on meditation. I am
always the cleaner of the shoes of the esteemed Sadh
Sangat and their full time server and servant, with no
wage or esteem whatsoever.
Sadhu Ram
"I would like to welcome all the dear ones who have come
here to attend the program, all the parents who have
brought their children, I am very pleased to see all of
you and once again I welcome you. You know that all of
you have come here for the special purpose of doing
meditation. You have left your homes and businesses over
there, and you have come here for doing meditation. So
while you are here you should do as much meditation as
possible and remain in the discipline. Because you know
that even though we have come here our mind has not left
us. Our mind is within us, and it is its duty to check
all the souls and to prevent them from doing the
meditation. So he will try his level best to keep us
away from the meditation. We should be strong and we
should always remember the purpose for which we have
come here. You know that usually I advise the dear ones
that while we have come here for a short period, you
should concentrate more on meditation and Simran.
There are many beautiful cities and many bigger cities
in your country and you can go for sightseeing and
things like that in your country also. So while you are
here you should not waste any time for going sightseeing
or for shopping, or for doing the worldly things. While
you are here you should concentrate on the meditation,
the Bhajan and Simran, as much as possible, so that you
may benefit from this trip. We have done a lot of
shopping in our life, and we have done so many
businesses in our life. Now we should do the business
for which we have come here and that is the merchandise
of Naam, the work of earning the fruit of Naam. We
should from the depth of our heart have the yearning to
collect the wealth of Naam as much as possible, and for
that we should concentrate more on doing the meditation.
So I hope that all the dear ones will listen to my
request, and you will put in more time in your
meditation, and will not waste any time in the useless
things."
Satguru Ajaib Singh Ji Maharaj
Part 2
(SRJ-On India Retreats) (Jan. 6, 2007)
On attending Meditation Programs in India conducted
under the Grace and Guidance of Sant Sadhu Ram Ji
On the order of the Master, these few instructions
regarding attending the India Meditation programs are
presented to the respected Sadh Sangat. He requests that
we all read carefully and accept before signing up and
attending the programs.
1. Those who are prepared to come to the programs in
India exclusively for meditation, Darshan, and Satsang,
after preparing at home by doing at least four hours
daily meditation, are welcome to attend the programs.
One who comes for the program must stay at the program
place the entire time and not go out for any reason at
all. If anyone feels they must also go out for shopping,
touring, the need to bring home gifts for loved ones or
items for one’s business, and/or any other worldly
matters, then it means that person has not yet
understood the rare value and supreme importance of this
very holy and precious opportunity. For those who have
not yet made their mind understand the correct way to
attend the program and who may not yet accept and trust
the instructions of the Master regarding the Programs,
that is: Staying at the hall for the entire time, doing
maximum meditation and Simran, not going out of the
place for any reason whatever, remaining in seclusion
and not socializing with others; it means they are not
yet ready to come and take advantage of the outpouring
of Grace being offered, nor to gain the rich benefits of
attending a meditation retreat under the Guidance of a
Living Master. In such a case, those dear ones do not
need to attend the programs and instead may remain at
their homes and continue to prepare themselves by doing
more and more meditation there. We can do the worldly
things like shopping and family things at our homes. Why
do we need to spend so much time and money to come to
India and take up a valuable place in the group if we
are not committed to take the full advantage of this
precious opportunity?
2. When we come to the program we are advised to
strictly avoid and give up socializing and interactions
with others and to remain alone, that is, to maintain a
feeling of seclusion. Westerners are advised not to
interact or mingle with the Indian dear ones and
sevadars, nor exchange addresses and phone numbers with
others. If we are ready to come to the program and
accept this discipline, to remain in seclusion and keep
our heart and mind drenched in the remembrance of the
Lord and Simran of the Guru for these few short days,
then we are welcome to attend the program. Kirpal
Maharaj Ji used to say that seclusion is half of
meditation. Sant Ji has said that those who spend their
time in seclusion, continually remembering the Lord,
have spent that time with the Master.
Sant Ji used to advise the family, relatives,
associates, or Satsangii group members of a dear one
coming to the programs, that we should have mercy for
that dear one and allow them to attend the retreat with
giving their whole heart and attention to the Master for
these few short days, and not ask them to bring things
back home from India for us, nor ask them to remember
us, nor phone us, nor to ask the Master about our
worldly cares and problems. The dear ones attending the
programs should be given our utmost respect during their
precious time with the Master, and we should not burden
their hearts with anything else than having His darshan
and Simran for these few short days. Sant Ji used to say
that this is the best contribution or gift we can give
to those who are attending the programs.
If any dear one does not yet feel that they can attend
the program in this manner then they do not have to come
to the Program. We can remain at our homes and do the
socializing and interacting with others there.
3. If any dear one wants to attend the program leaving
behind the world and its affairs, their fantasies,
involvements and attachments with the world for these
few program days then you are welcome to attend. We
should not come to India and constantly reestablish our
contact with others outside by making phone calls to
home, checking emails, contacting our associates back
home etc. If we come to the program and then spend time
going back and forth between the remembrance of the Lord
and the love and bondage of world, then what can we hope
to gain from attending the meditation retreat in such a
manner. We are to give our entire heart and attention to
the Master for these few days so that He can purify and
uplift our mind and soul, and dye us in the color of
Naam. If we are not yet ready to break away from all
these attachments and bindings, even for these few days
of the program, then why do we need to come to the
program, we can instead remain at our homes and fulfill
our involvements with family and friends over there.
4. Whatever instructions Master wants to convey to the
group who comes for the program will be done either
personally by Him, or through the authorized program
organizers. If you are prepared to accept and abide by
these instructions then you are welcome to attend the
program. If anyone however prefers to do what one’s own
mind tells him or her to do, or that which some other
dear ones may tell us, then it means we have not yet
properly prepared ourselves to attend the program and
get the advantage. In that case, we do not need to
attend the program but instead, we may stay at our homes
and do more meditation and preparation before coming to
the program.
5. If any dear one comes to the program and then
violates the instructions of the Master for attending
the retreats, e.g. goes out for shopping or for any
other reason whatever, socializes with the other sangat,
establishes contacts with home through calls and emails,
etc. disturbs the other dear ones who came for
meditation and seclusion, or wastes their time and the
precious opportunity, then that dear one may not be
allowed to attend the India programs in the future.
Every dear one should realize that whatever we are doing
at the program has an effect upon the other dear ones
and it is our duty to use this precious time to our own
advantage as well as insure we do not disturb others who
are doing the same.
Everyone should keep the rooms clean, orderly and quiet
so that those who may be resting or meditating may not
feel upset due to excessive noise, disturbance, and
activity.
6. Before coming to any program we should spend a lot of
time preparing by doing more meditation and Simran, and
by planning the trip carefully. We should bring along
everything we will need for our care and comfort, such
as medicines, proper clothing for the season, sweaters
or warm clothes, shawls and shoes, bhajan books etc. We
should sign up with the organizers early and not leave
the arrangements of tickets, passports and visas until
the last minute. We should send our names for sign up at
least two months before the program and complete all our
arrangements at least one month before the start of the
program, including informing the organizers of our
flight details. By doing this we are doing our part to
help the sevadars in India insure that everything is
properly arranged to receive such a large group of
foreigners to their country. If we are too busy with our
other things of life and have no time to give first
preference to this most important work, then it means we
are not yet ready to attend the program. In that case,
one should first work hard to make the mind understand
the extremely high value of this precious opportunity.
Once we have understood and are prepared to devote the
time and attention required to take maximum advantage,
and prepare everything well in advance, then we can send
our names to the organizers for a place in the program
and we will be welcome to attend.
7. If we need anything during the program that we have
forgotten such as medicine or a blanket, or some small
items because our luggage was lost, then we can inform
the sevadars and they will go out and bring that thing
for you. No one should go out for these things
themselves. We should request from the sevadars only
that thing which we have forgotten or which we really
need during the program, and not give them long lists of
things to take back to our homes.
Along with this, the Master has said that in some
special cases, if any dear one finds it really necessary
to be present at the shops when an item is being brought
for them, then they can go along with one or two Indian
sevadars on the last day of the stay, after the program,
and obtain that item, and then return back promptly to
the program place. No one should go out on their own,
they must be accompanied by Indian sevadars, and must
not think of this as a shopping spree, but as a short
trip to obtain a necessary item.
8. Sant Ji used to say that if we come to a meditation
program after gaining some receptivity, if we make our
mind understand the supreme importance of these precious
moments spent in the company of a Saint, then these days
can change our life and can become the most remarkable
days of our life. He said that it is very important for
the dear ones to attend the program after working very
hard at their home and gaining some receptivity.
Sant Ji also said that if we give up the darshan of the
Master for any other thing, we lose a lot. Only the
Mahatma who does meditation realizes how much we lose
because only He has gone within and seen how high, how
important, and holy is the darshan of the Master. Kirpal
Maharaj Ji used to say that if we can spend even a few
moments in the company of a Perfect Saint, we get more
benefit than from doing 100 years of meditation at our
homes. He said, “what more concession can you dear ones
wish for than this.”
Sant Ji also says that if we go out for shopping or for
doing any other worldly things during this Holy Program,
we may lose the entire benefit of the time we have spent
in the company of a Saint.
Finally, let us all bow down millions of times at the
holy lotus Feet of Satguru Ajaib, and thank Him many
millions of times for the Priceless opportunity He is
affording us. Let us each one, with a sincere heart and
burning desire to meet Him within, press on with our
Simran and meditations and do the proper and respectful
preparation and attendance at these Meditation Programs,
so that we may honor and please our beloved Satguru.

New Delhi Meditation Retreat:
Foreigners Information & Behavior
RESPECTFUL BEHAVIOUR
We are guests in a foreign country and are expected to
maintain the utmost of decorum, respectful behavior,
discipline and courtesy towards others during the entire
visit. Within our own compound and dorms we are expected
to be considerate, polite and loving towards every other
guest at the program and to consider what effect our
behavior and actions may have on the other visitors to
India; as most if not all have come on this holy
pilgrimage after waiting, saving and yearning for a long
time. We should not do anything that may distract or
disturb others from taking the maximum advantage of
their precious time with the Master.
MAINTAINING A ‘QUIETING’ ATMOSPHERE:
Coming to the physical presence of the Master is a rare
boon of unimaginable importance in the life of a
disciple. Whereas we have been granted this valuable
time away from our usual obligations, let us take full
advantage of the conducive Ashram-like atmosphere and
the Master’s Holy Presence by keeping talk with other
dear ones to a minimum in our rooms, during meals and
after Darshans. Calming our own speech and behavior not
only helps our meditation, but also insures that we do
not inadvertently disturb the Simran of others.
PARSHAD:
All the Dear Sangat are strongly urged to bring along
whatever foodstuffs they would like to ask Master to
bless as parshad, for bringing back home and for their
own use. Please bring it along with you rather than
going out shopping to buy it yourself or asking dear
ones in India to go out and buy it for you. Parshad is
Grace from the Master and we should accept it in
whatever form it is offered to us at the program.
Bringing some items from home allows us to take back the
extra that so many dear ones cherish.
Masters say that if we need to increase the quantity of
parshad so as to have enough for everyone at the Satsang
or family, then we can add some extra items like nuts,
candies or cereals and that will also become parshad for
the dear ones waiting at home who have the yearning for
parshad from India Programs.
TRAVELLING IN INDIA WITH THE MASTER
It is a very special grace to travel in India with the
Master. If you are in a group that also goes on an extra
trip somewhere in India for Satsang, please show the
foremost of courtesy and modesty during the travel.
Every moment of the trip should be full of Simran,
respectful composure, and disciplined behavior. We are
asked to avoid crowding around the Master at airports,
train or bus stations etc. and not to make shows of
affection and devotion while in public. It is the duty
of everyone traveling with Him to allow Him to pass
through the public places unnoticed and comfortably.
GIFTS AND SOCIALIZING
Master has strongly advised that foreigners are not to
interact nor socialize with the Indian Sangat. Please
also do not bring, offer or exchange any gifts with
them, nor ask for each other’s phone and address.
PARK
There is a lovely park in front of the Satsang hall. It
is OK to walk around a few times for fresh air and
exercise, and then go back inside, but no one should sit
in the park nor pick any of the flowers or plants. If we
want to sit around outdoors, please go on the rooftop of
our building.
SHOPPING & ERRANDS
We are expected to understand, appreciate, and remember
that we have traveled this very long distance for
earning the priceless wealth of Naam, and all of our
time and energy is to be used wisely in this most
precious purpose, and for no other. Shopping and
wandering around is to be done at our homes before or
after coming to the program in India and not in any way
at the program. Maharaj Kirpal Singh Ji used to say that
if we could remain in the remembrance of God for three
days continuously, then He would definitely remove our
veil and gives us His Darshan. This is the purpose for
which this Holy program is being held.
Everyone attending the program is expected and trusted
to bring everything along that you will need for the
program stay and not to plan on buying the things once
in India. Please take special care to pack the
cosmetics, supplements, toiletries and incidentals you
require rather than request their purchase during the
program. We can however request a really crucial item
like medicine or in the case luggage is lost, and
nothing else. Please do not ask for large quantities of
items to take back home. This is not considered
respectful and also can overwhelm the sevadars who have
to keep going out repeatedly for so many items. Please
ask for what you really need at the program and nothing
more. We should not burden others and ourselves with
shopping for unnecessary bundles of goods to take home.
Just the things that will allow you to feel good and
healthy during the program
DRESS CODE
Dress during the programs in India should be respectful
and modest, as fits the cultural and spiritual
traditions of India and our hosts. Clothes should be
loose fitting for comfort during meditation, and also
should cover the body properly. Revealing clothes, low
necklines, shorts, sleeveless tops, swimwear or bathing
suits etc. are not appropriate.
Ladies are requested to have head coverings, scarf or
shawl in the presence of Master during Satsangs.
SATSANG HALL
Please do not leave anything in the Satsang Hall. Take
all your belongings with you to your room after the
evening program. The organizers have humbly instructed
that we not leave our things to save a place for the
entire program but allow everyone an opportunity to sit
in front. Taking our things out of the hall in the
evening also facilitates cleaning of the hall.
Please maintain silence and Simran in the Satsang Hall
at all times and especially right after the Master
departs from Satsangs and Meditations.
Please allow everyone an opportunity to sing bhajans
during the bhajan sessions, and let others, even those
who are more reserved, have the happiness of starting a
bhajan. When Master is leaving the hall after Satsang,
there should be silence only, no bhajan singing.
Ladies are to sit on one side and gents on the other
side of the Satsang Hall. Young children who need to may
sit with their parents. Please observe the dividing
line.
Tall dear ones or those who must sit on chairs and
cushions should locate themselves in a way that they may
not block the view of others, sitting without cushions,
behind them. Out of courtesy, kindly sit to the sides or
toward the back. Those with cameras and video equipment
should set it up at place where it does not block the
view of sangat.
INFORMATION
LANGAR
Master has instructed all the sevadars to attend the
programs of meditation and Satsang, and not to miss out
to do seva. A seva schedule was made to allow this to
happen. It means the langar will be served approximately
½ hour after meditation or Satsang programs. Please come
to the meal on time once the bell is rung, and finish
eating promptly so clean up can be facilitated.
SPECIAL DIET
If you are one allergic to dairy or wheat, please inform
us in advance and every effort will be made to provide
you something suitable for your diet. Please do not
hesitate to inform the organizers of your special needs
so that you feel comfortable and well during the
retreat. It is the full responsibility of each person to
check the food carefully and insure that it meets the
safety requirements of your special diet. The sevadars
will always try their best to meet the special needs,
but each person must take responsibility to check
carefully for their own situation.
SEVA
Westerners can assist with seva during the program,
mainly in the langar. Jobs include:
…Serving
…Dishwashing & Cleanup
…Special Diet Needs
…Room and bathroom cleaning
Please sign up on the seva lists if you wish to
participate.
INTERVIEWS & DARSHANS
Depending on the size of the group, interviews or group
darshans will be arranged and announced. Please attend
only one interview or darshan. No one should ask worldly
questions. Only brief questions about meditation or
Simran should be asked.
ROOMS
Cleanliness of rooms is very important to our
maintaining good health during the program. Please keep
your rooms clean and tidy. You may get together with
others in your room and designate someone to be
responsible to sweep up floors and clean bathrooms.
Please do not leave food or drink in your rooms. Kitchen
areas for preparing your own snack or tea are to be kept
clean and tidy at all times.
There are lockers wherein you may lock up your
valuables. Several people sharing a room can also share
a locker and designate one person to keep the key.
SECURITY
Only the westerners staying at the program hall and few
authorized sevadars from India are allowed in the dorm
areas. If you see anyone else or any suspicious activity
please report to the organizers immediately.
BATHROOMS
Please note that there are complete and spacious
bathrooms on the roof. If you sleep in the large central
dorm space, please use the roof bathrooms whenever
possible, rather than passing through the smaller
sleeping rooms where dear ones may be resting.
WATER
Safe drinking water is provided in the langar and Dorm
kitchens. Please use it for drinking and brushing teeth.
Tap water is neither safe to drink nor advised for
brushing teeth.
WATER TAPS
Running water in Delhi sometimes stops flowing. If you
go to a shower or sink and no water comes out, please be
sure to close that tap, so that when the city water
flows again it will not come gushing out of that tap and
flood the room.
MOSQUITO
In the April, May, and June Programs, mosquito netting
and repellent may be useful. We are staying in an area
of low risk for malaria, however in these months, some
malaria prevention is advised as a precaution.
Homeopathic is known to be effective and is mild and
gentle with no known side effects. Other preventions are
also effective but can be harsh and have strong side
effects. Please consult your health care practitioner.

1. Do Constant Simran: Simran is the best remedy for all
ills of the body and mind.
2. Follow the Schedule and get enough rest.

How to Sign Up & Register
Sant Sadhu Ram Ji
New Delhi India Retreat Programs
Most Esteemed and Beloved Sadh Sangat of the Great
Masters
Under the Divine Will and Order of Our Beloved Satguru
Sant Ajaib Singh Ji Maharaj, Sant Sadhu Ram Ji has
agreed to hold Meditation and Satsang Retreats in New
Delhi India for the benefit of the Sangat in 2007.
The retreats are held in the divine remembrance of Sant
Ji and accommodations have been made to welcome groups
from countries all around the world.
The Master has asked that all participants please notice
and abide by the following guidelines:
…………Sant Sadhu Ram Ji has asked all the dear ones
wishing to participate in the retreats in India, to
devote at least 4 hours per day (at their home) in
meditation before coming to the programs, and from then
onwards, which will provide a great boost in gaining
receptivity, as was the lifelong wish of Sant Ji. He
said that this is a very good time and opportunity for
us to be able to receive the benefit and grace which the
Masters wish to give us.
………..The program is being held for Meditation, Darshan
and Satsang. Those who attend the retreats must agree to
come exclusively for the meditation program, follow the
schedule, and not plan any other activity, visits,
travels, shopping, sight-seeing or other affairs during
this Holy trip; and that all participants will remain at
the program place for the entire time and follow the
schedule of Satsang, Darshan and Meditation.
……….Everyone should travel to and from India in groups
with others from their area as far as possible, and
according to the exact prescribed travel dates. Travel
to India for the retreats should be on one’s own
earnings.
……… Regional Coordinators for groups, and individuals
should provide the names and flights details to Daryl
Rubin no later than 3 weeks prior to departure, so that
adequate arrangements can be made to receive and
accommodate all guests. Please check carefully that the
flight details you send are completely accurate so you
will be met properly at the airport.
………..Please bring with you everything you will need
during the program as there will be no chance to go out
for shopping. Each traveler should try to bring only one
piece of luggage and one carry on as room space is
limited. Blankets, sheets, pillows and meditation
cushions need not be brought along as these will be
provided
HOW TO SIGN UP FOR A PROGRAM
Everyone who wishes to attend a program is required to
first sign up for one of the authorized groups, and
obtain permission before planning to come to India for
the Retreat Programs. Please complete your ticket
purchase and visa no later than 3 weeks before departure
of the group, and provide all flight details to the
coordinator for your area or to Daryl Rubin. Due to
space limitations, only those dear ones who have
received a confirmed place in the group will be allowed
to attend the program. To obtain permission, please
contact the trip coordinator for your country.
