It is a magnificent and wonderful organisation which is unique in the present day world and leaves its special imprint on minds of human beings.

Amongst this grand galaxy of great souls of this Sect is one wondrous man whom Delhities and entire Saintly brotherhood knows by the name of SWAMI JAI PARKASH. Revered Swami leads an illustrious and hard working life. Swami Ji was born at Gari Yasin in Shikarpur (SIND) during Vikrmi Samvat 1957 Ashvin Shukal Troydashi, 30th June 1901. The name of Poojya Swamiji’s father was Shri Bahvari Ram and name of his mother was Smt. Adni Bai. Since his expired during childhood of Swami Ji, as such he could get education only upto Primary level. Swamiji got an appointment as Inspector in the Municipality.

ENLIGHTNMENT CALL – MEETING WITH SATGURU SWAMI TEOONRAMJI MAHARAJ

Ever since his childhood Swami Jai Prakash ji was devoted and dedicated to Bhakti of God. With passage of time however his belief in God reached its zenith. Swamiji was once listening to Satsand being conducted by Satguru Maharaj, and at that time, Guru Maharaj called Swamiji nearby and enquired, will you devote your life in service to the God? Listening it, Swamiji said that I shall consider myself extremely lucky in carrying out your directives. Swamiji was thereafter, engaged as "Sewadar". By continuously engaging himself in servive and also because of some miraculous and unforgetable events, his devotion towards Satguru Maharaj became more and more intense and after some time he left the Government job and devoted himself to the Lotus Feet of Satguru Maharaj.

     They say Thirst is enough to lead one to Sea. Swami Teoonram Ji appeared before Swami Jai Parkash in his dreams/sleeplessness. On account of it Swami Jai Parkash felt overjoyed and his devotion intensified further manifold. Pursuant to it he cbegan to devote himself intensely into glittering image of the Guru. His household name was Shri Motu Ram. Satguru Swami Teoonram Ji rechristened him as Swami Jai Parkash after adopting him as his disciple. While he was asleep Guru Ji appeared before him in his dream and exhorted him to leave Sindh. Following the dictate of Guru, he did so.

     After leaving Sindh, Jai Parkash Ji reached Ahmedabad, City of Gujarat. There he organised a Mela (Fair) commemorating Swami Teoonram Ji. Subsequently, he reached Haridwar on the occasion of Inauguration of Prem Prakash Asharm in the year 1948.

     On that occasion Bhai Jetha Nand Ji had arrived from Delhi. On the orders of Revered Satguru Swami Sarvanand Ji (2nd Mandleshwar) , Swami Jai Parkash Ji reached Delhi with Bhai Jetha Nand Ji in accordance with the will and wishes of Guru Maharaj. In the beginning Swami ji stayed at the residence of Bhai Jethanand. It was here that he first organised Prem Prakash Satsang Mandali. With time, the number of devotees grew so much slo, that space constraints began to be felt. There was no wide and broad place adjacent to this place for accommodating large gathering and as such, Swamiji reached Shakti Nagar in quest of a relatively more spacious venue for Bhakti. He perched a Bamboo at the site to commemorate the place for Bhakti. Next morning, much to his surprise he found that Bamboo etc had disappeared from the spot. Immediately thereupon, he imagined that Guru Maharaj Ji’s wishes perhaps had not found favour with the chosen place of Bhakti/Devotion. However, he did not loose heart as those who have firm faith in God leave everything to God. In such cases, God himself acts on their behalf as averred by Lord Krishna in Geeta ‘YOGKHESHMA VAHAMAYAM"

     In his continued search of place of devotion, Swami Ji reached ‘Malka Ganj’

ESTABLISHMENT OF PREM PRAKASH DHAM AT MALKAGANJ

     History of Prem Prakash Dham established in Malka Ganj area of Subzi Mandi is 50 years old. Swami Jai Parkash Ji made Prem Parkash Temple in the form of humble Jhuggi/Dwelling site. But God willed otherwise, since the place where temple was made belonged to a school, hence the place had to be abandoned. Then again he built a new temple, a little away from that place and started Bhajan Kirtan there. It is said that there are many detraction in Missionary work, but devoted souls bear all these obstacles as the Will of God and continue to follow the path of Bhakti relentlessly to ultimately attain success. Later, the second site was realised to be that of a Gurudwara.

     As such Swamiji abandoned this site as well. He resolutely pursued the dictate of Satguru that he has to establish a site into a temple where people could quench their thirst of Satsang. As such ultimately he ended up at the place where the present day Building of Newly Constructed Magnificent Asharam stands with pride. To start with he built two Pakka rooms here. The Delhi Government did not approve of this site and served Notices for its demolition. Govt officials tried to Bulldoze these rooms with the help of a Tractor. Now the opportunity had arrived, when worldly obstacles in the erection of Ashram were ebbing out .

     The time had come, when sacrifice of great sages was ready to materialise into the worldly sense. Those who had seen this action of Govt on the sight, tell that time and again when that tractor was brought round to raze those rooms to ground, the nozzle of that tractor used to stick into the water pipe and the entire demolition operation used to come to a stick into the water pipe and the entire demolition operation used to come to a halt. Entire populace of adjoining areas was also opposed to this uncooperative attitude of administration which led the Administration to succumb to the pressures of according approval to the Temple construction. Upon this welcome decision of Government, well wishers gathered at the site and rended the air with Jai Jai Kaar of Satguru Maharaj Ji.

     Ever since Death Anniversary and Birth Celebration of Satguru Swami Teoonram Ji Maharaj are organised every year in Prem Prakash Dham with great fervour devotion. Besides this, Janamashtmi, Annual Function is also celebrated and CHOUTH of Shri Guru Maharaj is organised on Monthly basis. On Saturdays and on the occasion of CHOUTH pure PRASAD OF DHODHA CHATNI is distributed amongst Devotees/visitors.

DISSEMINATION OF UNIVERSAL TRUTH

     After some time Swamiji thought that Satguru Swami Teeoonramji Maharaj has created a lot of Holy Verses and that has been consolidated into Prem Parkash Granth. In spite of this, Satuguru Maharaj used to quote many pious things from the VERSES written by other Great Saints, as such he resolved to write some VERSES averred by other great Saints besides the astonishing feets shown by Satguru Maharaj in Delhi. Ultimmately during the year 1963-64 Swamiji wrote GYAN SAGAR PART-I & II and dedicated these books to Lotus Feet of Satguru Maharaj. Still, he was not at rest.

     In the year 1965, he wrote GYAN SAGAR PART-III. In this book Swamiji has enumerated the ways and techniques to create peace in one’s mind for the sake of human beings. He also wrote SHALOKAS of SAKI averred by Saguru Maharaj. Over and above Swamiji wrote very nice stories to educate the people so that by following those
ideals, people could transform their lives into ideal ones.

CONFLUENCE WITH ALMIGHTY

     Poojya Swami Ji left his wordly body on 1st Dec 1975 at the holy feet of Acharya Satguru Maharaj and that too at Jaipur, Guru Asthan. We humbly bow before the feet of our beloved Swami Jai Parkash ji Maharaj.
