विरक्त सन्त : स्वामी रामसुखदास जी

3 जुलाई/पुण्य-तिथि विरक्त सन्त    : स्वामी रामसुखदास जी धर्मप्राण भारत में एक से बढ़कर एक विरक्त सन्त एवं महात्माओं ने जन्म लिया है। ऐसे ही सन्तों में शिरोमणि थे परम वीतरागी स्वामी रामसुखदेव जी महाराज। स्वामी जी के जन्म आदि की ठीक तिथि एवं स्थान का प्रायः पता नहीं लगता; क्योंकि इस बारे में उन्होंने पूछने पर भी कभी चर्चा नहीं की। फिर भी जिला बीकानेर (राजस्थान) के किसी गाँव में उनका जन्म 1902 ई. में हुआ था, ऐसा कहा जाता है। उनका बचपन का नाम क्या था, यह भी लोगों को नहीं पता; पर इतना सत्य है कि बाल्यवस्था से ही साधु सन्तों के साथ बैठने में उन्हें बहुत सुख मिलता था। जिस अवस्था में अन्य बच्चे खेलकूद और खाने-पीने में लगे रहते थे, उस समय वे एकान्त में बैठकर साधना करना पसन्द करते थे। बीकानेर में ही उनका सम्पर्क श्री गम्भीरचन्द दुजारी से हुआ। दुजारी जी भाई हनुमानप्रसाद पोद्दार एवं सेठ जयदयाल गोयन्दका के आध्यात्मिक विचारों से बहुत प्रभावित थे। इस प्रकार रामसुखदास जी भी इन महानुभावों के सम्पर्क में आ गये। जब इन महानुभावों ने गोरखपुर में ‘गीता प्रेस’ की स्थापना की, तो रा...

Ganesha, Water Pollution and Misplaced Priority.

This is a guest post by my friend  SimhaNet What a misplaced priority: The daughter of an English Professor eloped to get married without parental consent and left a note on the table "I am runing away with some guy". Both mother and father were upset, but for different reasons. The mother was naturally upset and crying that her daughter ran away with an unknown guy and was certainly worried about her while the professor father was upset and feeling shameful that an English Professor's daughter doesn't know the spelling of the word "running" Similarly, While beef industry is the one the most polluting and leaving footprints of Green House Gases we are worried about Ganesh murties. Global Warming: As per the National Academy of sciences Agriculture accounts for 29% of the total Antrhopogenic (pollution originating from human activity) Green House Gas (GHG) emissions. And 86% of this GHG is coming during the production of the food. And...
