Swastikshem Tapascharya in brief

Hari om,
On 30th Augst 2011 Param Poojya Bapu clarified the following points:

• Generally, most of the shraddhavans are not performing their upasanas in right earnest and hence, they fail to achieve the desired results of Gurukshetram mantra. The basic reason is Shraddhavans, inspite of their best efforts, are unable to avoid  wrong doings, be they in deed (kaayik), speech (waachik), or thought (maanasik).

• Hence, for the benefit and general well being of all His friends, Param Poojya Bapu will be performing severe penance (Ghor Tapascharya). The Tapasacharya will be of his Mata Chandika and will assume the following three forms:
  1. Upasana of Mata Chandika in the form of Brahmatripurasundari.
  2. Upasana of Bala Atibala Vidya and
  3. Savitri Upasana in line with Savitri Upanishada. 
  
  
  The Tapascharya will conclude with the establishment of  Sarvaanga Brahmastra and Sarvaanga Karunashraya at Shree Gurukshetram.
  
  • The duration of the Tapascharya will be from Ashwin Shuddha Pratipada i.e. 1st day of Navaratri (Ashubhanashini Navaratra), to Ramnavmi i.e. 9th day of Chaitra Navaratra (Shubhankara Navaratra), i.e.  . The Tapasacharya will continue 24x7 hours.
  
  
  • During this period, Param Poojya Bapu may or may not come to Shree Harigurugraam on Thursdays. Even if he comes on Thursdays, he may or may not deliver the discourse.
  
  
  • Param Poojya Bapu has specifically clarified that though he may or may not attend Thursdays at Shree Harigurugraam, he would be there in Gurukshetram atleast once in every day. He has said the He will also attend the functions like Shree Dhanalaxmi Shreeyantra Poojan, Aniruddha Pournima and the Adhiveshan thereafter, Atmabal Mahotsav etc. He will also be going on the tour of Jalgaon as also for His annual visit to Gangapur. 
  
  
  • During this period, the activities at Shree Harigurugraam will continue and there will be some other specific programs with the purpose of helping all the shraddhavans to become fearless and confident.
  
  
  • Once the Tapascharya gets over, the normal proceedings at Shree Harigurugraam will resume as per P.P. Bapu’s instructions.
  
  
  • During this period, Bapu expects from each Shraddhavan the following things:
    1. To chant Hanuman Chalisa at least once a day for the prosperity and general well being of the world. After chanting of Hanuman Chalisa every bhakta should say that this is an offering for the general well being of the world.
    2. Refrain from blaming oneself for one’s shortcomings or wrong doings, and continue with his Bhakti and Upasana with utmost zeal and sincerity.
