An Introduction

TEJGURU SIRSHREE TEJPARKHIJI

Sirshree's spiritual quest began as a child. Immersed in his spiritual quest, he practiced many meditations. His quest lead him to various schools of thought and teachings.

His thirst to spend more and more time in the search for truth lead him to relinquish his college teaching job. He undertook a long period of contemplation on the mystery of life till his quest ended on enlightenment. He came to the understanding that the missing link in all paths that lead to truth is 'Understanding' itself.

Sirshree says, "All paths that lead to truth begin differently - but end in the same way - with understanding. Understanding is the whole thing. And, this understanding is complete in itself. Listening to this understanding is enough."

SELF ENQUIRY

Investigate Yourself

"Become a detective. There is the detective who follows all the crooks in the world; he investigates them. But a seeker is a detective who investigates himself; who follows his own mind. The one who finds out as to wherefrom the mind (thought) arises. One has to find that place, the bright place (Tejasthan) within himself. Become a detective. Investigate yourself. This is my good wish for you."

PRAISE FOR THE BOOK

"Understanding is the missing link in Self Inquiry. Instead of just knowing about God, the unique technique of experiencing God devised by Sirshree is described with utmost simplicity in this book."

- Suresh Mathur, Director, Sumeet Mixers, Mumbai.

Many have spoken and written 'about' the truth. Rarely has anyone spoken and written 'The Truth'. This is possible only by someone who has realized 'The Truth' and is firmly stabilized therein. This book is Sirshree's love which takes us There so easily and surely. All I can say is that this is 'Grace'.

Since the time of the Sapta Rishis India has been a blessed land. A land of ancient Rishis in search of the ultimate Truth. While Patanjali, Buddha, Mahavira, Shankara, Nanak… may be known to the world there are many more. Some are well known – but every village and town has a story to tell. The list of Rishis, Siddhars, Nayanars, Alwars, Avadhootas, Holy Men & Women who attained enlightenment following their chosen paths is long. While starting the blog I thought this was an easy 1 day job. Down the line I realised the job is colossal and I may not have done justice. But this is a start, I have been searching for consolidated information like this and none exists. I thus seek inputs and feedback to keep expanding the BLOG.

The scope of this BLOG is to document the great enlightened souls of India in the recent past, specifically after 1850. 

Why 1850?  The last 150 years seemed like the recent past. Also the period from 1850 – 1950 was momentous in the history of mankind. This was the era of the Industrial revolution when many great discoveries & inventions happened. 2 world wars were fought, Spanish Flu and Bengal Famine massacred millions. This was also the time of the brutal dominance of the white man – either as traders/invaders or because of slavery. As the world was going through unprecedented upheavals this era witnessed the evolution of some of the greatest beings of the country who merged with Divinity and brought peace and solace to the tired masses.

In shortlisting the great souls who have merged with the divine Brahman I have followed the directive of Swami Vivekananda. “Of one hundred persons who take up the spiritual life, eighty turn out to be charlatans, fifteen insane, and only five, maybe, get a glimpse of the real truth. Therefore beware.”

The truly enlightened being is not a brand marketeer or a magician. He/she is not a person who b
