JUINAGAR

The foundation of Shri Shetra Gurukul Juinagar was laid on 29th April 1999. The installation was done by the hands of
P.P.Bapu and it was named Hemadpant Prachyavidya Prashala, Sadguru Nivas Gurukul. The celebrations for the
establishment of this construction were held over two days i.e. on the 29th and the 30th of April. Various pure and sacred
prayers were chanted as a part of the inauguration ceremonial.
In this Gurukul the five Gods are installed in the garbhagruha that is formed in the shape of a cow’s mouth. In the
middle section the idols beginning from the right are placed in the following order: Mahakali, Mahalaxmi and the
Mahasaraswati. These three idols are sculpted from the rocks of the Gandaki River. Every morning all the three idols are
decorated and worshipped before the opening of their garbhagruha. Placed in front of these three Goddesses and facing
them are two horns made out of a metal called Alhaad – Santosh that comprises of five elements. P.P Bapu’s Sadguru who
was also his great-grandfather Late Shri Vidya Makarand Gopinath Shastri Padhye worshiped all these articles – the horns,
the Hanuman idol in the child form, and the Saraswati idol incessantly. As all the three goddesses are represented in their
unmarried stage, they are considered the symbols of Dharma, Arth, and Kaam
Shri Mangarish
In the right hand side section of the three Goddesses is installed Shri Mangrish or also known as Shri Mangesh. In this
important position the Shri Shivlinga sculpted from the stones of Gandaki River is also placed. Every single morning these
idols are decorated, worshipped and only then the doors are opened to all for darshan. Shri Mangrish is considered the
emblem of Bhakti.
Shri Shantadurga
On the left hand side section of the same three Goddesses is present Shri Shantadurga. The specialty of this idol is that
She is holding two snakes in Her hands at the back while the two hands in the front are granting blessings. The original idol
is holding Shiva’s plait in one hand and in the other hand is Vishnu’s plait. These balance the mind and the intellect that is
why it is called “Maukadayani” (the one who grants opportunities). The Shalingram is placed near the feet of this statue,
which is known as the “Baan” (arrow). This sanctification and worship of these idols is done on this Baan.
On the right just outside the Shri Shantadurga section is a stone on which two urns are installed and this place is called the
“Mahayogpeethswarupadhayas”. One of these urns contains the soil from 30 pilgrimage locations across India and the
other one holds the water brought from the seven main holy rivers of India. Any disciple, who devotes oneself from the inner
consciousness and seeks shelter from these Goddesses, offers salutations to them and surrenders to them will immediately
receive the blessings of all these holy destinations, this is edict of the Sadguru.
The design and construction of the “Gomukh” where all these five Goddesses have been installed is on the lines of the holy
Amarnath Shrine.
Darshan Sthal (place)
Shri Vidyamakarand Gopinathshastri Padhye Study Section: P.P. Bapu has himself said that as soon as one sets a foot in
the Sadguru Nivas, one should first remember grandfather Padhye. Right at the entrance on the wall at the left one finds a
beautiful picture of P.P Padhye. This has been placed there for the devotees under the guidance of P.P. Bapu. The
devotees sit in this section for holy recitations and chanting of God’s name.
Panchpurushartha Devta
Dharma (a scrupulous way of life that aims at individual and social welfare) – Shri Mahasaraswati Artha (the pure and
ethical means to fulfill virtuous deeds)– Shri Mahalakshmi Kaam (the desire born in the mind) – Shri Mahakali Moksh
(Salvation) – Shri Shantadurga Bhakti (Serving God and surrendering to Him with intense love, devotion and commitment) –
Shri Mangesh
No ordinary being can install the idols of Mahalakshmi, Mahasaraswati, and Mahakali. The one who installs these has to be
a true Sadguru; Also, this kind of an occasion where the Panch Purushartha Gods are installed is a very rare one and is
held once in many many centuries. On one of the pillars in front of Shantadurga, Bapu has placed an urn that contains the
soil of 30 pilgrimage places of India and the holy water of seven rivers and also water from the Triveni Sangam of India.
Whoever thus comes here receives the blessings for the virtues of the last 100 years that is why this is called the
“Mahayogpeethswarupadhayas”.

Dharamachakra
“Yada Yada Hi Dharmasya Glanir Bhavati Bharata
Abhyutthanam Adharmasya Tadatmanam Sruamy Aham”
Dharamchakra in reality means the Sudarshan Chakra that is Maha Vishnu’s weapon. This Dharamchakra can be
established only by one who is a true warrior. Before this Parshuram and Shri Krishna had installed the Dharamchakra.
After them P.P Bapuji has been the first one to install this in the Kalyug. Bapuji has himself installed this Dharamchakra for
the destruction of Adharma and the restoration of true Dharma.
Before the installation of the Dharamchakra, Bapu had the same worshipped at the homes of 52 devotees. For three days at
each devotee’s residence the Dharamchakra was worshipped with the chanting of “Om Sai Shri Sai, Jai Jai Sai Ram”. This
Upasana in 52 houses culminated at Sai Nivas. Only after this pious ritual did Bapu have the Dharamchakra installed in Shri
Shetra Jui Nagar . This Dharamchakra is going to be vibrant and functional for the next 2500 years. This Dharamchakra has
been laid at the rear side of the Sadguru Nivas near the Dhuni (fireplace). There is an approximately 7 feet long pole there
and the same length is inside the ground too. This pole symbolizes Aniruddha’s finger, which holds the Dharamchakra.
Dhunimata
The Dhunimata was established on 28th September 2000, which happened to be a Thursday. In this Dhuni the devotees
can offer oblations as per their desire. The Schedule for the Dhuni: Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday: 9.15 a.m. to 8.00 p.m.
Thursday: 9.15 a.m. to 6.00 p.m.
The Library
Within the Sadguru Nivas itself Bapu has started a library for his devotees and the use of this library is absolutely without
any payment. The library offers books for reading in five languages, which are Marathi, Hindi, English, Gujarati, and
Sanskrit. For the young readers Nandai has Herself set up the children’s section.
Vishwalochan Chakraraj
On the second floor Bapu has established the Vishwalochan Chakraraj and this is the fifteenth one in order. Vishwalochan
Chakra means the eye that sees the entire universe and this Vishwalochan Chakra is also performing its function of
observing the universe. When you sit in front of this Chakra and read any good or holy volume, then all the petty thoughts,
your fears etc are destroyed by the vibrations of this Chakra. This also aids and gives rise to pious thoughts that will help
you to progress. If students sit and read or study for a minimum of four minutes in front of this Chakra it will help
tremendously to improve their capacity of concentration and also helps to improve memory.
The most important thing is the number “1” in the middle section of the Vishwalochan Chakra which signifies the Mahapran
Hanumant. The pure vibrations of this are beneficial to all devotees who sit and read/study here.
To reach the Mahapran four ways, 4 links have been shown. But from those 33-43 numbered links is very important and
that is the Bhakti marg and it is very simple and easy. Such is the Vishwalochan Chakraraj.
Panchpurushartha Upasana
The Panchapurushartha Upasana, a unique and extremely systematic upasana, can eliminate vices and also overcome
impediments that arise in the ten sense faculties, in the mind as also in the seven chakras. The vibrations emitted in the
course of this upasana cleanse all of these seven chakras. A laminated photograph of Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Bapu, an
extremely essential part of the Upasana, assures that P.P. Bapu is present everywhere and at all times thus rendering our
mind stable. It is mandatory to receive the upasana either at Juinagar or at Pune before commencing it in our home. This
upasana is free of cost and may be taken up at will. It may also be performed at a place and time of the individual bhakta's
choice and convenience. However, it may also be noted that the upasana need not be restricted to a particular time each
day and may be performed as per one's routine or work schedule.
Shriyantra
The image of Shriyantra has been placed for the benefit and darshan of the devotees. This Yantra was initially worshipped
for 33 days in Juinagar.
Shriyantra signifies the primeval energy of this universe, the Shri Shakti. The next five generations of the person taking this
Shriyantra home will receive blessings and fruits of this action. We must recognize the importance and presence of this
Shriyantra and this has been gifted to us and will help us right till the end of life. Every year on Dhanteras day it is
worshipped and prayed. The presence of Nanda Mata in each’s devotees house is in certainty this Shriyantra.
Such is this Sadguru Nivas where everything is conducted according to Bapu’s wishes. But why did Bapu choose this
particular place? This has a very significant and ancient importance, which is as follows: 1. 350 years back Adhya
Shankaracharya had done the Upasana and meditation of the Dharma chakra on this land itself. 2. Along with that Lord
Parshuram had also resided on this land for some duration. 3. The most important is that Shri Mahalaxmi, Shri Mahakali,
Shri Mahasaraswati were residing here for some time and waiting for the Sadguru who would come and allow them to be
manifested. And that came to be true in the following manner:
When P.P.Bapu chose this location for the Sadguru Nivas, He also decided to have a Bhoomi Pujan ceremony to
commemorate the event and this was scheduled to be performed during the earlier part of the monsoon season. Some
labourers were asked to construct a Mandap one day prior to the ceremony. But due to incessant rain during the entire day
they were unable to do any work. Finally it was night and the labourers fell asleep. At the same time at about 1 a.m. at
midnight a person woke them up and said, “Why are you sleeping? Get on with your work”. When the workers aroused they
saw that there was nobody around there, but they got up and got on with their work.
When they first struck the ground to dig, immediately a strong shaft of light like the one that would be emitted by a 60/100
watt bulb was also seen and not only that, wherever the workers dug a similar beam of light would come into view.
It is important to note that this location was similar to a jungle at that time. The labourers worked for the entire night in this
Divine brightness that faded away on its own as the sum emerged at daybreak. Bapu later said that this energy has existed
there for a very long time in the form of light – Jyotiroop. Mahalaxmi, Mahasaraswati, Mahakali- their original form is the
Jyoti form itself.
The events celebrated by the sanstha at the Sadguru Nivas:
1. Lalitapanchami during Ashwin Navratri
2. Ashwatha Maruti worship during the month of Shravan
3. Vaibhav Lakshmi celebration during the month of Margshirsha
