Guru Bhakti is our best opportunity to experience divinity in this human life. In the Hindu tradition, Bhakti is associated with the deep love and devotion that one feels for God. The sixth and the present spiritual guru of the BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha, HH Mahant Swami Maharaj, reiterates his message to a whole new generation, backing each ideology with logic that is relevant and relatable. Many things in life are fleeting, but the values that the BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha teaches, are universal in application and, thus, remain with the individual through life’s journey. BAPS believes in developing individuals in every aspect of their lives: academics, career, personal skill sets and talents, cultural curiosity and affinity, volunteer service, and most importantly, spirituality. The Mission’s present spiritual guru, HH Mahant Swami Maharaj, is an enduring and merciful social worker; God-realized sadhu. He spells divinity by simply reforming society; He spiritually charges it with faith, virtue, and integrity. The emphasis of this issue is on the ‘Spirit’ and that the end of all knowledge is service – service of the poor and lowly, the sad and the afflicted ones. As you read through the wonders created by Him and the BAPS Mission, you’ll be surprised to witness the power that His teachings hold. His life and work speak for themselves.

The state of the art constantly makes you experiment. Read into the lives of those personalities who dared to experiment. Catch the exclusive interview with Gorky M, Supriya Karnick and Maanvi Gagroo, an artsy affair with Sharad Chandra Tripathi, Star of the Month Digangana Suryavanshi, Rising Star Mohena Kumari Singh and Musician of the Month Kadam Verma.

For most of us, our time on Earth is divided between getting an education, getting a job, getting married, having kids, making money, acquiring fame and power. As we work our way through life, few of us stop to ask the question – is this it? Is this the extent of the purpose of life? As Rev. Dada J. P. Vaswani celebrates his 99th Birthday on the 2nd of August, this issue is dedicated to his teachings and his message that is very simple - to love every living being on earth, be compassionate and never fail to practice forgiveness. Dada is regarded as one of the leading Spiritual luminaries of India and a practical philosopher whose grace has influenced thousands all over the world. A gifted writer and a brilliant orator, Dada, as he is lovingly called, has addressed distinguished audiences worldwide, communicating only as he can, the positive messages of love, faith, joy and peace. The deep holes of pain, guilt, rage and dissatisfaction move us away from the concept of peace and happiness. But this selfless saint reigns on a global stage as a spiritual teacher, humanitarian and commander and chief of peace and forgiveness through acts like the ‘Moment of Calm’. 

                                                     

Dada Vaswani continues to hold sway on the Indian social spectrum, often delivering not just inner peace to his legions of followers but also large-scale social service like the Mira Movement that pledges to educate and empower the girl child. Our cover story takes you behind the scenes of Dada’s life, chronicling the astronomical rise of Sadhu Vaswani and his successor, Dada Vaswani, and his spiritual path to enlightenment. It is an overwhelming feeling to enlighten the readers of India with this sense of enlightenment through  enlighten india. The much awaited day of Thursday , 29th June 2017 dawned with enthusiastic seekers eagerly awaiting the launch of the stamp and commemorative coins to celebrate Shrimad Rajchandraji's 150th Birth Anniversary. The esteemed launch was held in the august presence of Pujya Gurudevshri and the Honourable Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi near the Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad. The issue also encounters valuable inputs and activities of the influentials of the industry, Television and Bollywood alike, especially do not miss out on the exclusives with Shakti Arora and Adaa Khan who have fought all odds only to ascend higher in life. We have Rohit Purohit as Rising Star and Harshita Gaur as Star of the Month who are inverting all preset notions and setting new definitions. Explore the exciting writer's space with television's exemplary writer Nilanjana Purkayasstha as she discusses her passion and love for words.
