|| HARI
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
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
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 “Mahayogpeethswarupa dhayas”. One of these urns contains the soil from 30 pilgrimage locations across
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

Dharamachakra
“Yada Yada Hi Dharmasya Glanir Bhavati Bharata
Abhyutthanam Adharmasya Tadatmanam Sruamy Aham”
"यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य, ग्लानिर्भवती भारत
अभ्युत्थानम् अधर्मस्य तदात्मानम् सृजाम्यहम्"
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.
