What is Gnan-vidhi?
Gnan-vidhi is a scientific process to attain Self-Realization. It came through the Gnani Purush Param Pujya Dadashri (Shri Ambalal M. Patel., also fondly known as “Dada Bhagwan”). During Gyan-vidhi, the belief that “I am this body-mind complex” is destroyed at subtlest level of the ego & the right belief that ‘I am Pure Soul’ and an internal awareness of who you truly are is established within you by the grace of the Gnani. Gnan-vidhi is not a physical or metaphysical experience.
Although Pujya Dadashri left his mortal body, one can still achieve Self-realization, during Gnan-vidhi ceremony in just 2 hours through the current link of Gnani., Pujya Shri Deepakbhai Desai.
Gnan-vidhi ceremony is two-part process. During first part, the seekers loudly repeat the sentences which separates the Self (Pure Soul) and the non-Self (ego/intellect) for 48 minutes. The second part immediately follows, and is explanation of the Five Agnas, or five spiritual principles supporting the Science of Separation.
After Gnan-vidhi, the first stage of liberation, which is freedom from all worldly sufferings is attained. The identification with the body-mind-ego complex is destroyed. Ignorance is dispelled and true knowledge of the Self is attained. The final stage of liberation is attained by those who receive this Gnan-vidhi and follow the five spiritual principles whereby one is ultimately freed from the infinite cycles of birth and death.
After taking Gnan Vidhi from Pujya Deepakbhai -
A conviction is established that “I am Pure Soul” and its awareness gets initiated.
Worries decrease because there is a right understanding of who is the real doer.
One will see his own faults instead of seeing the faults of others. This results in inner peace and harmony in life.
One will feel moved to ask for forgiveness for one’s own mistakes.
Your inner weaknesses of anger, greed, pride and deceit gradually decrease and your experience of bliss of the Self increases.
Even after taking Gnan-vidhi, it is important to attend the satsang sessions of Pujya Deepakbhai whenever and wherever possible. Also, continuous exposure to Pujya Dadashri’s books, DVDs etc. and attending local satsang in your area will deepen your spiritual awareness and experience.
