The advent of Saint Tara Chand Ji Maharaj happened between the two devastating
events of First and Second World War amidst the engulfing clutches of poverty
and hunger in 1924. The pangs of gloom and grief hovering over the entire world
during Second World War exerted deep and never ending impression on the heart of
younger boy Tara Chand roaming in the streets of a small village Dinod in
Bhiwani District in Haryana (India). Moving bare-footed on the burning sand of
arid desert fields, a saint in budded form was aspiring for the redemption and
emancipation of humanity embedded in the terrific seas of sorrow and horror. The
grotesques of humanity dwelling within the heart of human, the generation of one
Father, was arresting the freedom of man. Amid such propensity of salvation for
the self and humanity, there happened a sacred union between the young spirit of
Tara Chand Ji Maharaj and his spiritual preceptor Saint Ram Singh Armaan which
changed his fortune and scripted the story of spiritual perfection amidst the
gallows of grief and sorrow.
Saint Tara Chand Ji maharaj did appear not merely in the dynamism of
evolutionary human form but the representative and incarnation of supreme Word;
the creator of all the physical, vital, mental, psychic and spiritual worlds of
consciousness; besides tangible in its materialism, an invisible and
imperceptible consciousness of the cosmic and transcendental existence. He was
the divine teacher, Satguru; a resilient spirit impregnated in the eternal
imprudent oceans of abysmal depth of the inconscient and subconscient world
which is controlled and circulated by the chronological nescience and
deliriousness of the three modes of nature imperious; darkness grasping but
still groping concealed Will in the field of chance compels the subconscient
world of ordinary stumbling consciousness of the present day humanity. He is
also the splendor and ecstasy of the summits of sublime highs: an amethyst
covered with dusty twilight of matter realized by the initial opening of the
inner being amidst the purified erstwhile battlefield of passions, desires,
feelings of lust and vibration of greediness, anger, instrumentalised poignancy
of mental ego with the emanating righteousness and truth of the psychic
descended for the accomplishment of the evolutionary process. An emerald with
the green sheen life colour of vague obscurity intermingled with the outer faint
reflectance of grey and violet light of matter encircling at the outskirts of
subtle substantial existence; the original source of the physical universe. A
diamond of reddish luster regaling and revealing the inner consciousness of
Truth: the existence of subtle intermediary power, immutable, imperishable
adoring with the deceptive illusion of Maya - the Yogic shakti, the power of
Braham (Supreme) beyond the perception of higher mental or spiritualized yogic
consciousness of the secluded ascetics. A golden yellowish chrysolite; the
culminating refulgence of the outer reddish eldorado and the innermost beauty of
inexplicable nebulous in stainless whitish splendor. All the richness of
universe and possibilities of innumerable diversity of disintegrated
individuality of the physical world, remain embraced in His vast unity and
Beauty of enraptured bliss of love.
He is the serpentine encoiling of the Kundalini Force, the mother Force; the
creative power of the cosmos which initiates opening its plumage in the form of
expansion of small specks in the form of dull light brooding between the eye
brows during meditation process. Its awakening is just like the removal of the
coverings of fainting dust from the golden pearl; Mridyoliptam Sudhantam as
stated in the aphorism of Shvetashvatara upnishad which explains that such an
embodied man who sees the light of truth of the Atman, the soul, which is like a
gold or supramental flush of light in rosy attire, recovered from its earthly
appearance, attains the goal of redemption and becomes sorrowless. But in
Radhasoami phylosophy, this opening of the psychic being is just a step towards
realization which proceeds with the purification, sacrifice of works and self
surrender of lower vital and mental nature that helps in the opening of third
eye, divya chaksu of Budha; it is the consciousness and dwelling place for the
containment of gods of vital power of subtle worlds. This is the opening of Ajna
chakra, the sixth plexus and originator of nervous life-providing stream of the
existence. The seeker of the consciousness of this Chakra but below Sahasarara,
the thousand petalled lotus, realizes an unceasing, may be intermittent
initially, spiral movement of light like Sudarshan Chakra of Vishnu; an epithet
for the power of subsistence of universe who holds a sharp, teethed revolving
poignant wheel in his finger of one hand to slay the demons. This vast sphere
holds the egg of glimpse of the manifestation of all the worlds overhead with
the reflective light of their existence, consciousness and bliss: but still a
shadowy reflection; yet a bright pouring of light for the outer world
consciousness of the overhead planes of the universal consciousness and beyond
the cosmic reality which exists in the formless beatitude of unification of
transcendence, the purest supramental regions of Satya Khand; the true and
purest spheres of Divine will.
The vision of sacred feet of Satguru, the divine teacher, starts with the
intuitive discernment of the reality through the opening of the universal
consciousness of the divine Word Power with the unlocking of the sphere of
grandeur luminosity called Saharasara, the thousand petalled lotus. Here lies
the starting point of the consciousness of Satguru in Radhasoami Yoga, but it is
a consummating accomplishment for all of the restive religious philosophies of
the world.
Satguru Tara Chand Ji Maharaj was the incarnation of outpouring of sacrifice
which the Lord of Works offers to the creative propensity for fulfilling the
divine Will relied in covering appearance of ignorance and non-cognizable
material existence; through the automatic mechanical working of universal
Evolutionary Energy breathing in each atom of the visible and subtle physical
countless scatterings of cosmic boundless pervading consciousness. His birth was
the advent of the Lord of Knowledge: the spirit of Brahamand; the cosmic Self -
all satisfying Self permeating wisdom and the pedestal foundation for the
universal thought and knowledge which provides the crutches to the lame, eyes to
the blind and life to the lifeless creatures. That can be viewed by overting the
cryptic penetralia of the immutable and intangible simmering Omniscient
cognition which besets the adorer with the lucid experience of the presence of
one indivisible. This revelation is the expression of cosmic Power dwelling in
the heart of all beings, Vasudevam Sarvam; the highest secret of knowledge in
Gita, that is the feeling of one Supernal power every where in the existence;
the true meaning of knowledge.
His birth was scintillating appearance of the Lord of Devotion and Love: the
governing spirit residing in the core of the heart of every existence either
individual or universal. An alchemist force which remains concealed: not within
the visible ranges of individual or universal vision; but exerts a consistent
pressure from the innermost tabernacle on the nature of inner worlds of
spiritual existence and other consciousness of the subconscient world for its
matter-of-fact evolution and promising transformation of the lower nature into
divine nature. Attraction, intimacy, fluidity, mutual cooperation and blissful
interaction are the essence of its presence, which discourages all the
differentiating endeavors of the lower rungs of universal ladder of
consciousness. Unity and Bliss are its principles where all the offerings of
cosmic works or Karmas and unlimited boundaries of universal cognizance get
dissolved into the principle Will.
The advent of Satguru Tara Chand Ji Maharaj was a blow to the sovereignty of
universal vital forces which shape a play for their prior establishment
resulting into a catastrophe engulfing the whole world and leaving a long
residual impact. The mythological evidences available in the religious
scriptures display the necessity of battle between the forces of goodness and
diabolical interests for establishing the government of virtue and justice in
the world. For the advancement of spiritual evolution requires a thorough
churning and topsy-turvy of the subconscient consciousness; without which the
pursuit of flowering of cosmic works (Karmas) could not find its passage of
dissolution. Each step of turning and churning gives a way for the appraisal of
mental consciousness and pertinent lessons for the dynamics of future life,
which serves as a vestibule for the entrance of new higher consciousness.
Without terrible explosions on the surface of Sun, it could never have opened
the vistas of energy necessary for the evolution of earth life. This was the
reason, according of Hindu mythology, churning of sea (subconscious power),
Samunder Manthan, was felt indispensable by the gods of goodness and evil for
the extraction of ambrosia, the Amrit, necessary for promoting the process of
life energies on the earth.
