Brahmaswarup Yogiji Maharaj

Brahmaswarup Yogiji Maharaj traveled with Pujya Krishnacharandas Swami’s mandal. Wherever this mandal went, Yogiji Maharaj’s spirit of sevā, bhakti, and pure love spread like a fragrant breeze.

Once, the mandal arrived in Kukāvāv village. Wherever Swamishri (Yogiji Maharaj) went, he would eagerly seek out opportunities to do sevā. During that time, brass utensils were commonly used. One of Yogiji Maharaj’s favorite sevā was polishing brass vessels to enhance their shine and prevent rust.

Bhagwānbhāi, a devotee, would bring the necessary materials, and Yogiji Maharaj would polish the utensils while singing bhajans. After finishing, he would show the utensil to Bhagwānbhāi and ask: “How does it look? Will Swami be pleased?”

Deep within Yogiji Maharaj’s heart was a constant desire to please his Guru. Krishnacharandas Swami would take the polished vessel, turn it in all directions, inspect it carefully, and then proudly show it to all the other swamis in the mandal. Praising Yogiji Maharaj, he would say: “Gnānji is truly remarkable! He has mastered every skill. He excels in everything he does. He knows how to please Bhagwān and the Sant!”

This simple phrase “Will Swami be pleased?” carries within it the essence of all spiritual endeavors. All spiritual endeavors find fulfillment only through the Guru’s rājipo. Rājipo is our true wealth. Through the Guru’s rājipo, one experiences divine fulfillment and purpose in life. “Will Mahant Swami Maharaj be pleased?” - This question should guide every action of our lives. Ensuring that each deed aligns with this thought is, in itself, our highest spiritual endeavor.
