 . . . THE DIGNITY OF GYANSATRA
Shastri Bhaktivedantdasji Swami

The place where all ill effects of five senses are nullified, such a place is called a Naimisharanya. Where the noble souls, great people and pious saints reside, here even if a simple person enters, he would also attain divine peace and start worshiping the supreme power, the Lord. If we sit in company of H.H Shree Jogi Swami, then our heart leaves this material world and enters the heavenly abode of supreme Lord. So, where this divine company is acquired, such a place is given the name Naimisharanya.

Lord Shreeji Maharaj while explaining the meaning of Gyan Yagna in Vachanamrut says, 'In this world those who are a part of God, they along with me exercise complete control over their senses. And those who are not my part are having no control but in fact the senses exercise their controls on such beings.' So if we do not surrender to the five senses then we should be happy that we are a proud part of the Lord himself. And should experience the eternal pleasure by directing all our senses towards spiritual activities and performing the divine work i.e. the Gyan Yagna. All scriptures propagate this unique principle that prosperity can never be achieved without sacrifice. Therefore the same order that all Satsangi should perform Gyan Yagna - a knowledge based sacrifice. And in doing so, when in yourself you will be able to identify the presence of Lord then that will be the yielded result of the sacrifice.
H. H. Shastriji Maharaj has initiated many roads for the well being and in good favor of entire humanity. In that the Gyan Satra and Brahm Satra observed during the pious month of Shravana have celestial magnificence of its own. The eternal, divine, pious bliss of Lord is flown and his showered in the company of many pious saints. This all is obtained by the deserving and devoted Haribhaktas present there. There is this interesting story at the beginning of Shrimad Bhagavat. Thousands of monks, saints once gathered at the Naimisharanya and got this divine thought of starting the Gyan Satra a place where their will be observed regular, spiritual as well as ceremonial sacrifices. The divine characters will be portrayed and their will be a down pour of heavenly discourses. The idea was welcomed by one and all. Naimisharanya started its work. And this divine work continue for one thousand year.
The place where all ill effects of five senses are nullified, such a place is called a Naimisharanya. Where the noble souls, great people and pious saints reside, here even if a simple person enters, he would also attain divine peace and start worshiping the supreme power, the Lord. If we sit in company of H.H Shree Jogi Swami, then our heart leaves this material world and enters the heavenly abode of supreme Lord. So, where this divine company is acquired, such a place is given the name Naimisharanya.
In these Brahm Satras and Gyan Satras as started by H. H. Shastriji Maharaj, such arrangements are done that the human soul acquires the celestial feeling and the presence of almighty Lord. Those who regularly achieve the benefit of attending these Satras, never get distracted from the divine path. They always experience novel, celestial forms of God. Understanding of Satsang, majesty of spirituality, determination of a worshiper and worship of God. Keeps on increasing here.
In Gyan Satras, the glory of God, and discourses portrayed the divine characters and inspirational incidences are showered. Devotional songs and festivals are celebrated in full boom. The Glory full Darshana of noble souls feels our heart with a sense of gratitude. The majestic, glorifying atmosphere full of devotion directs our soul on spiritual part.
Shreeji Maharaj in Vachanamrut says, 'Such festival and gatherings when recalled while breathing your last then such soul definitely reaches its final destination. So all devotees should attend the Gyan Satras and grab the opportunity to make their life religious, knowledgeable and full of spirituality only then they become eligible to achieve the blessings of Shreeji Maharaj and kind saints.
