A temple for humanity
The Swarved Mahāmandir is a super-structure which sings the glories of the one Supreme Being (Paramātmā) Who has been celebrated across all cultures and disciplines of the world since time immemorial.
सत्य असत्य से अलग है, सो पर सत्य स्वरूप।
Satya Asatya Se Alag Hai, So Par Satya Svarūp |
अकथ अलौकिक तत्त्व है, अज अनादि वर रूप।।
Akath Alaukik Tattva Hai, Aj Anādi Var Rūp ||
The Supreme Being (Parabrahma) is the regulator of all Creation (Jaganiyantā). Pervading Prakriti (the physical zone), Ātmā (the Soul), Kāla (Time) and all eternal entities, He is effulgent with the pure form of Sacchidānand which exists in the Tīn Pād (three of the four Pād, in which there is only pure, everlasting bliss). He cannot be described with any form of speech (Vānī), or any of the faculties of action and perception (the Indriyās). That inexpressible Supreme Being (Parabrahma) is distinct from all inert forms of Prakriti (the physical zone), and is effulgent with His pure, conscious form. There is no entity similar or dissimilar to Him which can be compared with Him. He is all-pervading: He is devoid of all movement (Svagat-Bhed-Shoonya), beyond all forms of Time (Trikālāvādhya), and devoid of the three properties of the physical zone (Gunātīt). He is the Master of all. He is the Creator and foundational basis of all names and forms (Sarvanām).
The words of a Yogī serve as definitive proof to the world. A Yogīdoes not speak based on any perception, imagination or ideation. One is only hailed as a Yogī if they experience all inert and conscious entities after ardent meditative practice. The ultimate state of Yog - of meditative practice - is that of Samādhi, wherein an individual practitioner attains complete freedom from the physical zone and its happenings, and unifies with the Supreme Being as an iron does in fire.
This journey is facilitated by a Sadguru, and such are the beginnings of Swarved and Swarved Mahāmandir - grounded in the journey, energy and peerless brilliance of His Holiness, Sadguru Sadafal Deo Ji Maharaj, an all-realized practitioner and Master of Brahma Vidyā, and the Founding Father of Vihangam Yog Sansthān.
Swarved is Sadguru Deo's gift to all spiritual seekers of the world. Swarved Mahāmandir is a physical manifestation of this: Of His indiscriminate, replete, all-encompassing love for one and all, irrespective of their race, gender, caste, creed, or any social denomination. Indeed, the Swarved Mahāmandir embodies the spirit of Sadguru Deo's mission - to serve and celebrate humanity's consistent and timeless relationship with the journey of Self and Beyond - to the Supreme Being.
Within the walls of the Swarved Mahāmandir are inscribed all of the 3137 verses of the Swarved as composed by Sadguru Sadafal Deo Ji Maharaj. Within Swarved, Sadguru Deo has distilled all of the first-hand experiences He had on His journey from a seeker of spirituality, to an all-accomplished Master and Sadguru. It is the encyclopaedia of spirituality detailing the complete journey of a Soul.
निज अनुभव वरणन करूँ, दिया ज्ञान प्रभु सोय।
Nij Anubhav Varnan Karūn, Diyā Gyān Prabhu Soy |
तेरा है तुझमें रहे, करत समर्पण सोय।।
Terā Hai Tujhamei Rahe, Karat Samarpan Soy ||
I am describing herewith the experiential knowledge which I have attained within Vihangam Yog Samādhi (the highest state of Yog attainable through the practice of Vihangam Yog). This knowledge has been bestowed upon me by You (the Supreme Being), and will be safeguarded by You only. Hence, I surrender this knowledge unto You.
Upon the walls of the Swarved Mahamandir are also inscribed the verses and symbolisms from other key spiritual texts which have carried the same, timeless message of Brahma Vidyā - including the Upanishads,Vedās, Purānas, Bhāgavad Gītā, and other seminal spiritual texts and writings of the Sants.
It is a must for all seekers of spirituality to seek the wisdom of the Ancients, and to journey within. As Sadguru Deo describes, the path to inner peace is not found outside - it is found within. One must seek the Master of Spirituality to facilitate this reversal from outside to inside, from physical to spiritual, from the world to the zone of beyond, from inert to conscious; from oneself to the Supreme Self.
