From the time of Pujya Dadashri’s mortal departure on
January 2 1988 to her own mortal departure on March 19 th
2006, Pujya Niruma as she lovingly came to be called by thou-
sands remained true to her promise to Dadashri to carry on his
mission of the world’s salvation. She became Dadashri’s repre-
sentative of Akram Vignan and became instrumental in spreading
the knowledge of Akram Vignan throughout the world. She also
became an exemplary of pure and unconditional love. Thou-
sands of people from all walks of life and from all over the world
have attained Self-realization through her and are established in
the experience of the pure Soul, while carrying out their worldly
duties and obligations. They experience freedom here and now,
while living their daily life.
The link of Akram Gnanis now continues with the current
spiritual master Pujya Deepakbhai Desai whom Pujya Dadashri
had also graced with special siddhis to continue to teach the
world about Atma Gnan and Akram Vignan. He was further
molded and trained by Pujya Niruma who blessed him to con-
duct Gnan Vidhi in 2003. Dadashri had said that Deepakbhai
will become the decorum that will add splendor to the Lord’s
reign. Pujya Deepakbhai, in keeping with Dada’s and Niruma’s
tradition travels extensively within India and abroad, giving
satsangs and imparting the knowledge of the Self to all who
come seeking.
Powerful words in scriptures help the seeker in increasing
his desire for liberation. The knowledge of the Self is the final
goal of all one’s seeking. Without the knowledge of the Self
there is no liberation. This knowledge of the Self (Atma Gnan)
does not exist in books. It exists in the heart of a Gnani. Hence,
the knowledge of the Self can only be acquired by meeting a
Gnani. Through the scientific approach of Akram Vignan, even
today one can attain Atma Gnan, but it can only occur by meeting
a living Atma Gnani and receiving the Atma Gnan. Only a lit
candle can light another candle.
