NO OTHER SACRED WRITINGS Part | Letters of Soamiji Maharaj Huzur Maharaj, Maharaj Saheb AND Babuji Maharaj TO SATSANGIS And other Notes and Writings Translated by S. D. MAHESHWARI, M. Sc. PERSONAL ASSISTANT TO BABUJI MAHARAJ . RADHASOAMI SATSANG, SOAMI BAGH, AGRA, INDIA \INTRODUCTORY NOTE This volume contains the letters of Soamiji Maharaj, Huzur Maharaj, Maharaj Saheb and Babuji Maharaj. In case of the Hindustani letters, English rendering has been given below the originals : likewise the English letters have been translated into Hindustani. No apology is needed for bringing out the scriptural literature of this type. As a matter of fact most of these letters have already appeared in print from time to time in different publications, but it was felt that a collation of all the sacred epistolary writings in a book form would be of greater benefit to Satsangis. Hence this book. But it appears proper to mention one incident in this connection. Since the departure of Babuji Maharaj, attempts are being made, though abortive so far, to prop up half-baked gurus. Some of these blind leaders have taken recourse to indecent methods, not excluding the vilification of the true Gurus and subversion of the pristine principles and tenets of this Faith. One of such misguided persons has gone to the length of asserting that Babuji Maharaj was not a Sant Sat Guru. In support of this assertion, he refers to a particular letter of Babuji Maharaj, wherein He is said to have used the subscription “Khaksar” (insignificant, like dust) for Himself. This prompted me to rummage the old writings and letters in my possession. | found a letter of Huzur Maharaj addressed to Babuji Maharaj, wherein Huzur Maharaj has used the subscription “Kam-tarin’’ (the lowliest) for Himself. This letter commences as under :— TeaTeaTaT F ATT Tes H Gare ase, AT arg rat ware sit aea ! Radhasoami ke Pyare, Shabd Ke Sanware, Aziz Mere, Babu Madhav Prasad Ji Saheb ! (Beloved of Radhasoami, Adorned with Shabd, My dear Babu Madhav Prasad ji Saheb ) It would be pertinent to mention here that Soamiji Maharaj, in His letters, often addressed Huzur Maharaj as :— aye F aR ates F Fae wes F dart ass AE afer TH ! “Sat Guru Ke Pyare, Saheb ke Dulare, Shabd ke Sanware, Aziz Mere, Salig Ram.” °(Beloved of the Satguru, Biessed of the Lord, Adorned with Shabd, My dear Salig Ram!) From the above, even a novice can see what position Babuji Maharaj occupied in the Satsang of Huzur Maharaj. In any case, there can be no more conclusive and indisputable proof of Babuji Maharaj’s high spiritual status and position. He was as much the recipient of Huzur Maharaj’s affection and favour as Huzur Maharaj was of Soamiji Maharaj. Good cometh out of evil. The vilification by the fazep nindak (slanderer) mentioned above has thus resulted in salvaging a very valuable letter. This reminds me of the line. aay fran wa aU, Het are Gs Kabir nindak mat maro. jeeyo adi jugadi Translation :—Kabir prays that nindak (slanderer) may not die at all. May he live for ages and ages. It appears fitting, therefore, that besides thanking my friends who have helped me in the preparation of this book, | should thank that nindak (slanderer) particularly. SOimatkerturere May 20, 1964.
