Spiritual withdrawal from the world
"Swami ji's Three Years, 108
days - Meditation in a Cave". Swami ji
had a strong wish to perform a spiritual devotion (tapasya).
An underground cave was built at Swami ji's
Ashram in Vrindavan. Swami ji entered the
cave on 10th of September 1997 and came out
of the holy cave on 24th December 2000.
In the cave the great Lord Shri Hanuman ji
Maharaj was installed. There was no entrance to
the cave and the only way to get in would have been by
breaking the wall. In this context Swami ji
said: "For three years neither I should see anyone nor
should anyone else be able to see me, only I and my Lord
should be there exclusively". Also earlier His Holiness
had several times remained silent (Moun)
for three to six months. However as he pointed out
"while maintaining silence only the sense of speech was
controlled - the remaining senses such as sight and
hearing were not controlled, and continued to distract.
In the cave however, all three senses would be kept
under control and all wishes and habits would be
integrated into the meditation on the Lord".
For three years there was no communication whatsoever,
either verbal or written. It was also impossible to send
any messages inside. Throughout this whole period His
Holiness only took fruit and milk. Attendees delivered
food through a window slit in the cave at a scheduled
time. However it was impossible to either look into or
out of the cave through this window. The cave was
equipped with a toilet and bathroom facilities. As per
schedule, six hours were spent for sleeping, eating and
morning rituals and the remaining eighteen hours were
available for spiritual devotion.
When Swami ji came out of the cave on
24.12.2000 thousands of people had gathered at his
Ashram to be blessed by seeing him (darshan).
He had now evolved spiritually even further and he
started his work of healing. Today he is a spiritual
healer and an expert in the field of Yoga and
Meditation. For this he travels all around the world,
gives discourses, Yoga workshops and healing sessions.
As Swami ji has devotees all over the
world he travels extensively throughout Germany,
Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, France, Greece,
Spain, England, Scotland, Ireland, The Caribbean, Fiji
Islands, New Zealand and Australia.
