Q: Swamiji, we are little confused because too many people are attacking us in the name of facts and figures especially about your parivarajaka life. Did you really live nine years of parivarajaka?

A: Please understand I lived more than nine years of parivarajaka. First you need to understand all my definitions how I gave the clear definition of parivarajaka. First thing from the age of twelve, my spiritual master, teacher she started training me to go for parivarajaka, and pilgrimage, temples, yatras and everything. Sometime alone, sometime she will accompany, sometimes she will send me with some sadhus.

From the age of twelve till I came and settled in Bidadi 2003 I can say till the age of completion of 25 years or 26 years starting. When I completed 25th that is the time I started the ashram and 26 was starting. So from 12 to the 26th beginning I was spending my time in yatra, parivarajaka and everything.

Of course the time I spent in school and college if you deduct, all my other time can be considered as my parivarajaka. All the time I spent in all monasteries including Ramakrishna mutt, I always said during my parivarajaka I spent my time in Ramakrishna mutt and other monasteries. So please understand I always included my time I spent in Ramakrishna Mutt as a parivarajaka. Because I was practicing the spitirual sadhanas. And I was practicing many vows of parivarajaka by not keeping money, not keeping anything personal and living as simple life.

May be I stayed in some monasteries, studied spiritual practice and all that. Surely that also not so many years, so many years as people talk. Sometimes even when I stayed in different monasteries including Ramakrishna Mutt, I never used to stay continuously. Sometime I will go out on parivarajaka and come back and stay in different monasteries and different ashrams. This used to happen.

Now we are getting more and more, collecting more and more evidences then once maybe we will publish. In 1995 some people were saying that I was in Ramakrishna Mutt. End of 1995 people have seen me in Omkareshwar. We are getting the documents, evidences when I was in Omkareshwar at some point and different things….. Now we are collecting the evidences and we will present. So if you look surely I spent in my parivarajaka and tapas, and wandering and spiritual studies more than nine years. That’s all I can say. These all put together only I call it as parivarajaka. And I have clarified this earlier many times. Many times I said during my parivarajaka I stayed in Ramakrishna Mutt and other monasteries. And so please understand I spent more than nine years in parivarajaka.

And in Bharat you don’t go to schools and all so regularly. And schools are also not whole 365 days. In Bharat, every year, at least more than 150 days half of the year will be holidays. Some government holiday or religious festival some or some this summer vacation, or quarterly vacation, this way, that way. And even if there is regular school, I won’t be attending, I usually don’t attend school regularly. Then even during this polytechnic, every semester you will have holidays, I just go and spend.

She always used to send me on parivarajaka here and there temples and monasteries and all these places. I used to be with the sadhus and swamis all the time. And after that left spent some time in the Ramakrishna Mutt and then left and continued my parivarajaka till 2003 means 25th year completed. So if you see the whole thing 12 to 26th beginning and deduct my time in school days the days I spent in the school little time I spent in the polytechnic, everything else is parivarajaka only. So, I have said about this many time earlier. The problem is when I say all these things it is the truth. And these people try some way to create to they pick up few statements here there and try to make their meanings out of it. That’s all.

Q: Can enlightened masters also have karma or is it all because you have taken on the karmas of your devotees?

min

A: No, enlightened masters do not have any karma. All the karmas they take from devotees when they heal and all also, do not affect the enlightened masters. See when I heal so much of the negative karma gathers. Because he is healed so much of the positive karma comes, the good karma, because he is healed… that joy. And his karma is taken away that negativity. So this two does not affect me.

Whoever supports the master’s mission and feels connected for all of them good karma goes. Whoever has the vitarka for them good karma goes. Whoever talks negative, ill and try to abuse, defame, disrespect and for all of them this bad karma goes. I never enjoy good karma or bad karma. Whoever wants to enjoy good karma, they enjoy. Whoever wants to enjoy bad karma, they enjoy. That is why I always tell people even if you suspect somebody is enlightened don’t talk ill about them. Don’t talk ill about them. Unnecessarily why accumulate karma? I always tell people. So, I never curse people, they themselves accumulate whatever karma they want. I have lot of good karma, lot of bad karma both are there. Whoever wants whatever, they accumulate. They take it and they enjoy, it is their freedom. I only wish good for everybody. Let everybody be blissful that’s all.
