1960 proved a landmark year in
Yogeshwarji's spiritual life. His years of penance bear fruit. His long and
arduous wait for the complete grace of the Divine Mother was fulfilled. He
was graced with an incredible divine state resulting in direct and incessant
communion with the supreme power. He was also blessed with unimaginable
supernatural powers. Another remarkable incident soon followed.
Yogeshwarji's two books, 'Anant
Soor' and '
Saral Gita'
were ready for publication. He could not decide on what name to use so he
sought shelter unto the Divine Mother. On one auspicious day, the divine
Mother adorn him with the name of 'YOGESHWAR'. Thereafter he became renowned
as Mahatma Shri Yogeshwarji. In 1960, a grand celebration marked the
publication of his first book. Ravishankar Mehta, then the editor of
Janmabhoomi was the chief guest of the function. Thereafter, the literary
world was continuously blessed by his creations in Gujarati, Hindi and
English.
Theosophical society,
Mussoorrie arranged Yogeshwarji's first spiritual discourse on Yoga and
thereafter, the trend of spiritual discourses continued. During 1963, in
recognition of Yogeshwarji's exemplary service to the masses, Gandhi Nivas
Society, Mussoorrie unanimously passed a resolution and offered him a
permanent residence in their premises. 1966 onwards, Yogeshwarji used to
stay there for 5 months every year and deliver his discourses. He used all
the funds received during his lectures for the welfare of poor students in
different schools to help them with their fees and other needs. Today
Saraswati Shishu Vidyamandir, Mussoorrie stay tall singing the glory of this
humanitarian soul. |

“I used to enjoy the
omnipotent and omniscient power of the Supreme in my meditative
state. Now, I also started to realize the same in my wakeful state.
Earlier I had to meditate or pray for the darshan or association of
Mother, but now it become natural. That realization of the Mother
Goddess continued thereafter without an interruption of a moment; even
while walking, talking or performing any kind of activity. Direct
conversation with the supreme consciousness become possible. The state
of imperceptibility become natural. The difference of meditation,
wakeful state and samadhi disappeared. The veils of past and present
disappeared.
I could contact any soul
in the entire universe without a delay of a moment merely by a
thought. It was now possible to have conversation with such souls.
When I found difficulties in understanding the profound mysteries of
the scriptures, they were unfolded before me with the grace of those
great composer of yesteryears.
