MOHANJI – The Path of His Heart

While Mohanji and I were strolling on Tower Bridge by the river Thames in London, he said the words that to this moment still echo in my ears. He said: “Jolita, our path of the heart is very simple and complex at the same time. We belong to people, we belong to the world. For as long as we follow this path, no storms and no hardships can change our direction. Just keep moving no matter what, the rest leave to Life to take care for you.”

There is not just one way to describe this persona that some people know as Mohan and some as Mohanji. To me he is an ordinary man doing an extraordinary work, handling two different worlds at the same time – the physical world and the spiritual world. He works for his living and sustains himself and his family so as not to depend on other people. He pays his own bills, travels for business when needed and in between does his spiritual and charitable work. All the events that he hosts are free of charge, with no entry fees and no obligation to pay. Any donations offered are used for charitable purposes.

We all come to Mother Earth carrying a certain message, a certain purpose and certain task that we choose to complete – some small, some big, but one way or the other they always get completed. Mohanji’s path is not just any path. It is the path of his heart – to serve humanity, to elevate others to the highest level of conscious living and being. This path opens one’s eyes to the simple truths of life that so many of us have forgotten or have considered too difficult to follow and live up to. He serves humanity not for himself, not for satisfying his ego or his personal needs, not for the sake of pleasing someone, but for the sake of following the path of his heart, for the sake of helping others. In other words, that is his life’s purpose.  He walks the talk. Things like taboo do not exist for him. He says: “There are no taboos in life unless you create them yourself. There are no bad or forbidden things in life unless you see them to be that way. There is no right or wrong path that you may choose to walk unless you give it a name.”

He has no need for others to call him Mohanji or Guruji or Swami or Saint or Master or any other name. Whatever one feels comfortable with, he welcomes it. He has no need for someone to bow to him or touch his feet or praise him, but if a person chooses to do so, he is open to receive any gesture that comes from the depths of their heart.

Mohanji and Jolita Kelias

I personally call him Mohanji. He is very dear to me. The work that he does, the message of Love and Peace that he spreads greatly resonates with me. I consider myself to be his family member and also a god-mother to his beautiful daughter Mila and a close member of the Bless The World family.

His short visit to London, United Kingdom on the 4 – 9^th November 2011 was one of the most beautiful moments for me personally, not to mention a huge number of people that came to see him, to hear him speaking and answering questions, to receive his blessing and just to be in his serene presence.

Mohanji, Rajesh and his son Vivek

Mohanji inspires love, affection and dedication. During his stay in London he was lovingly hosted by a family who have never met him before and had only heard of him through their friends. I personally wish to express my admiration and gratitude to Rajesh and Ranjana for their amazing trust, commitment, dedication and willingness to be on their feet at any time of the day and also for opening their home to me and many others that came to see Mohanji.

Recently, a book has been published entitled The Power of Purity. This book was compiled by Marina Wolny from Germany who had collected many of Mohanji’s writings, postings, thoughts and spontaneous answers given to people throughout the years and combined them into a book for others to read and share. Many people reading this book say that they have found the answers they have been searching for. This book can be found on main bookselling websites on the internet. The book has been named after the meditation that Mohanji has been conducting for the past few years. It has exactly the same name – The Power of Purity.

Personally speaking, the Power of Purity guided meditation has opened the doors to forgiveness, acceptance, tolerance, loving kindness, and love itself. It tenderly encourages and invites you to bless every person, every moment, every living thing, every material thing, every challenge that you have ever encountered in your life and be thankful for it. But most importantly it welcomes you to embrace and love yourself just as you are and it carries a huge potential in finding peace within yourself and the world around you.

Sastang in the Home

During his trip to the UK Mohanji visited Stratford Upon Avon, which is the birthplace of Shakespeare. He also visited many of the sights of London and some surrounding areas. He was able to feel the energy of these places and meet many people. During his stay, he slept very little, did his work with full concentration and dedication and conducted two sastangs, one in the home of the family he was staying with and one in Oxhey (near Watford) which was open to the public. He lovingly gave Shaktipat (transfer of divine energy) to everyone that came and asked for it and not a single time did the smile leave his tranquil face. I must say, he has a very good sense of humour and at times he pokes fun at you with a cheeky smile and word. For example despite having asked so many questions during his trip, I asked him another question during the public programme on Sunday, the 6^th Nov 2011 and then straight after his answer I started to ask a second question but before I spoke again he responded by saying: “Of course, Jolita cannot be without asking questions!” Of course, it made me laugh not to mention people around me, and yet I asked my question anyway which was lovingly answered.

Sastang in the Home

For me to be in his divine presence is not just any kind of honour but a pure blessing. He is not here just to talk. He is a living example of his own word. He is here to deliver experiences, because experiences according to Mohanji, are the true teachers and reminders one should have in one’s life. Experiences are capable of elevating a person to a higher awareness and level of being.

I asked some questions regarding the charitable work of the Ammucare foundation which was created in honour of his daughter who passed away at the age of four in the year 2000 after she was hit by a truck. This tragedy was the catalyst for the huge transformation that occurred in his life. He says: “I had to lose everything, the most precious thing in my life in order to regain my Self, in order to go deep within my Self and eventually become One with the higher consciousness. It has been a hefty journey, a heavy experience, a very painful one, and yet extremely rewarding.” Now he is able to look at this calamity from the point of gratitude and see the bigger picture. “My daughter Ammu was a very high soul, who came to Earth just for a very short period of time and yet did her work effortlessly and on time. I am beyond grateful.”

Ammucare foundation is all about supporting and helping the poor. It aims to provide others with the main necessities in life. A few times a year the Ammucare foundation organises blanket distribution in India, particularly in the cold Himalayan region. They also reach out to other countries as much as possible and aims to grow and expand. They do not limit themselves with just blanket distributions. The foundation also supports poor children with school textbooks, exercise books, pens, pencils, school uniform, food, and anything that is needed for children’s education. Mohanji says: “Give a man money and he will ask for more, but give a man food and he will say thanks to you. Our main aim is to give food whatever form that food comes in one’s life.”
