Thousands attend Jai Gurudev’s Bhandara-Satsang-Mela. Wednesday, Mathura: Thousands attended the last day of the program at the Jai Gurudev temple on the highway between Vrindavan and Mathura. The crowd was reminded to attend the next program, during Holi. Jagran reports that controversy surrounding the appointment of the next acharya, after Baba Jai Gurudev left his body, caused fewer people to attend the program last year, however, this year, the crowds are back as Pankaj Maharaj has won people’s hearts. Baba Pankaj Maharaj reminded devotees that Gurus appear to help people cross the bhavsagar (sea of turbulent emotions that prevent people from being able to focus on the supreme). Babaji said temptation is always around the corner, and that giving in to temptation is the reason that the immortal soul enters the realm of the mortal. Babaji said that, entrapment in the bhavsagar and falling to temptation prevents people from using the opportunity of a human life to cut connections to the mortal world.
