Good Company

It is important in our quest for Ram Rajya to find 'Satsang'. This is what TD means when he talks about 'Prayag' also known as Sangam or Triveni (the confluence of the three mighty rivers). This place is akin to the body of Saints (satsang) also like a place full of good deeds. TD says that in any country or any place that body of goodness can be found. Only, one must have total faith in one's religion.

It is said in the Ramayan, that a dip in the rivers of Prayag (Allahabad, India) will give you instant Moksha, while still having this human body! Even though I have read the Ramayan several times this is very revealing to me and I am confounded . Can you believe how simple life really is? Do the right things, keep and find good company and have faith. You must not be amazed by the power of good company . The great sages Valmiki, Narad and Aghast have narrated their life stories. According to them, all the creatures in this universe including us humans , who have attained any fame prosperity, knowledge, any goodness, is because of 'Satsang'. In this world , as well as in the Vedas their is no other means of achieving these glories. Is that not profound stuff?
Thanks to my father, our family made that journey to Prayag. We took a boat to that point where the river Ganga and Yamuna flow and merge on the top while the river Saraswati merges with them underneath. Surprisingly the waters are not deep here and we got off the boat and could stand easily and take a dip.
Binoo Satsang bibek na Hoee
Ram kripa binu sulabh na soee
One does not get humble, wise, noble, if one does not have Satsang in ones life. The only thing is that, without the grace of Ram, these things don't happen!!! Jai Ho!
