Shri Ranjitsinh Chudasama
Shri Ranjitsinh Chudasama was
born on 28th December 1940 at Vadhel village of Ahmedabad District in
Gujarat in the 124th Lord Krishna generation of the Chandravanshi
Yadukul which is at the core of the Sanatan dharm beliefs concerning the
creation and history of the human race. His father Shri Vijaysinh
Chudasama had already determined to give this third son a solid
education and, lacking a school in the village, sent him to receive his
education at the Taluka boarding school. Shri Chudasama formed a
habit from the outset to excel in his studies and having achieved first
class first from the beginning, never settled for anything less for the
rest of his academic career. He graduated in Civil Engineering in 1964
and thereafter took up service with private firms in Mumbai and Vadodara
for a couple of years. He established his own construction company in
1966 and engaged himself in industrial and civil works for the next
forty years. Keeping up with the changing times, his construction works
also included a couple of industrial units specializing in computer
hardware.
In 1974 his life took a turn which was to launch him on an entirely new
journey. On an April day that month, he had his first darshan of Param
Pujya Swami Rajarshi Muniji. That same evening, he heard Muniji’s
discourse and made a firm mental resolve to accept him as his Guru.
The prescribed formal initiation followed in 1975 when he received
Mantra Diksha from PP Muniji at Kripalu Ashram in Malav. Six years
later, he started remaining in more regular contact with Muniji in order
to render such service as may be needed. The service hours increased
from 1983, followed in 1986 by a more regular fixed program of service
at either Malav or Kayavarohan every Monday.
That same year (1986), at his own residence, by PP Munij’s grace he had
experience of pran sfuran and mysterious darshan. The next day, the
process of khechari mudra manifested spontaneously and continued for
the next three years.
In 1993 Dadaji gave darshan to PP Muniji and commanded that he undertake
a campaign for the worldwide propagation of sanatan dharm. This created
the circumstance for Shri Chudasama to find himself in the forefront of
the activities that followed for the pursuit of this campaign and
in the institutional arrangements that were later put in place in that
connection. In course of time, the Rajrajeshwardham complex also began
to take shape and the responsibility for executing the construction of
the Divyayatan also fell on Shri Chudasama. Pujya Dadaji may well
have inspired him to take up civil engineering as his hosen career to
prepare him for this role that awaited him in a yet distant future.
Alongside with this, he also had ample opportunity to associate with
Muniji in his own activities in connection with the pursuit of the
campaign, accompanying Muniji in all his travels in that connection and
thus having opportunity to hear about 3500 hours of Muniji’s discourses
delivered in States across the country and in Nepal. This was the period
between 1996 and 2003 when Muniji undertook extensive tours and
established 1600 Life Mission Culture Centres in several Indian States
and across the border in Nepal.
In 2006 Shri Chudasama adopted the vanprasthi’s life and took up
residence at Rajrajeshwardham, Jakhan. Muniji too resumed his secluded
sadhana. But the work of the campaign continued and Muniji gave Shri
Chudasama the responsibility of supervising the activities of the
Pravritti paksh particularly with regard to the prabodhan abhiyan.
There are multiple layers of aspects that constitute the Indian sanatan
culture. They encompass routine daily activities, lifelong spiritual
living, social and economic order, statecraft, time, space, etc. It has
the capacity to show man the way to ideal life and living and epitomises
the principle of the oneness of man (Vasudhaiva kutumbakam). The
task of preserving and propagating this Sanatan culture is difficult but
God prosecutes it through his Saints ands Sages and that is how it goes
on. By Pujya Dadaji’s wish, this work is bound to gain momentum
throughout the world. Shri Chudasama considers himself blessed to
be associated with this sacred work through the medium of his Gurudev
Swami Rajarshi Muniji. He heads Life Mission as its Vice
President Cultural Relations and in that capacity also shoulders the
responsibility for supervising the newly created cadres of Sevadharmi
disciples who constitute the main instrument for the further pursuit of
the Abhiyan. He has already travelled through many countries and
States of India in its service as directed by PP Muniji, including USA,
UK, Nepal, Mauritius and Thailand. He has resolved to dedicate his
entire remaining life to this noble task and seeks the goodwill of all
in the successful pursuit of this noble aim.
