The significance of  greeting “Jay Mata Ki-Jay Guruwar Ki” (heil to mother goddess, Heil to Master)

The culture of salutation in Indian subcontinent is running since ancient time. When there were no countries formed around the world, the villagers and dwellers in India used to say “Ram-Ram” in salutation to each other which exists as a tradition until today.  The salutation is the informer to sweet ties between the people and on the other hand, it is the first attempt in meetings between individuals and in starting the conversation. This is the introduction between the processes within the individuals; however, salutation is also the identification of tradition, values, culture and sacraments established among different communities since ancient time.

In contrast to other countries, the culture of salutation in Indian culture is rare and unique. This is not only the exhortation nor is it only the formality. In a real picture, this is human responsibility, this is human religion and this is the holy karma which is helpful in regeneration and awakening of human beings.

There is one sloka in Sanskrit:

''अभिवादनशीलस्य नित्यं वृद्धोपसेविन:।

चत्वारि तस्य वर्धन्ते आयुर्धर्मो यशो बलम्।।''

abhivaadanasheelasy nityan vrddhopasevin:.

chatvaari tasy vardhante aayurdharmo yasho balam..

Meaning

Those who has the nature of salutation, always serves those who are enlightened, awake, educated; the age, enlightenment, fame and strength, those four qualities of these people grows eternally.

This is the reason for touching the feet as a greeting to elderly people by young ones from the beginning in Indian families. In meetings with friends and with acquaintances, the use of holy words is in custom. This is also a matter of fact that with time different civilizations ruled in India which in turn introduced and amalgamated their tradition of salutation in Indian society which holds a firm position till this date. The Arabic greeting, “As-salamu alaykum” and “Hello-Hi” from English society are the best example of greetings from foreign society in Indian culture. The greetings from Arab civilization is limited to muslims only. However, the greeting from English culture was able to hold a position in global society through the imperialized globalized market. As a result, many Indian community accepting English as modernization use English greetings.

In consideration, English greeting is limited to words “hi and hello” only and they do have no significance at all. However, the greetings like Ram-Ram, Jay shree Krishna, Hari Om etc. reflects the divine culture of Indian subcontinent. These holy greetings renders the presence, significance and importance of great divine authority, the divine power from where the mankind is guided. These are the auspicious words which Indian civilization is using since ancient time instead of good morning, good night and hi hello. However, in the recent years, the ancient Indian greetings are replaced by hi-hello, good morning and good night, which in fact is harrowing.

In these odd circumstances, the greeting introduced by his holiness Shree Shaktiputra Ji Maharaj, the change maker of this era, has rejuvenated the glorious Indian tradition once again. It is immense joyous that the members of Bhagwati Manav kalyan Sangthan, a social, religious and spiritual organization formed by Shree Shaktiputra ji Maharaj and millions of disciples of him are using the greeting,”jay mata ki-jay guruwar ki” in society. It might be in phone call, social media or in personal meetings, this greeting is in use extensively.

Jay mata ki(heil to mother goddess) is the holy sentence which belongs to the origin of everything, Jagadamba. We undertake the name of her in greetings telling Maa (Mother). With this, we surrender everything onto her on the one hand and on the other, we denote the perpetual presence of her. By greeting Jay Guruwar Ki (Heil to Master), we establish fidelity to our Guru in our conscience and we imperialize the master form of knowledge into society.  

Therefore, to protect our culture and civilization, it is important to leave the greetings originated from meaningless word formation and have to make the perpetual nature of greeting through jay mata ki jay guruwar ki. The importance of parents is always the same to whichever extend of modernization we reach. Similarly, the holy mother, and holy Guru (Master) are the main coordinator and director of our soul; before, now, after and always. This is the eternal truth. By greeting Jay mata ki jay guruwar ki; we are not only glorifying our family, race, clan and society. In a real picture are glorifying, promoting and conserving the ancient Indian culture because of which Indian subcontinent was called Master of the world once.

For this, please greet Jay mata ki jay guruwar ki to anyone whom you meet in your everyday life through any means. As it is not only the formal word, standing as a greeting word, it is the proof of existence of our self. It is a matter of fame, not shame as it is the picture of our ancient Indian religious and spiritual tradition.

तिर्थ
जाने जोगीहरुले
मेरै पैतलामुनि बाटो खनाएछन
बाटोसंगै
बाटोमुनीको माटो
अनि
बाटोपारीको मूल पनि आफ्नै बनाए
र लिएर ग​ए
भिक्षा जसरी
मैले न पानी पाएँ
न गोरेटो

ऋण

घाम हराएको दिन
छाँया बेच्ने रातहरुसंग
जुनकिरी सापट लिएर
उज्यालो खोज्न हिँडेकाहरु
उतै हराए
रातको ऋण
हामी तिर्नु कसरी??

स्वाधिनता

छिमेकी
साँधमा उभिएर
सबै हेरिरहेको छ
एका-एक गरि
तिम्रा सबै पुर्ख्यौलीमाथि
आफ्नै नाम कोर्दै छ
तिमी
उठ्छौ कि ऊठ्दैनौ??

प्रेम

सन्जना
के तिमीलाई याद छ​?
हामीले
फुटपाथमा एकपल​
अपरिचित आँखाहरु जुधाएर
एक​-अर्काको
प्रेमिल कल्पना बनेको
सडकमा एक हुल मोटरहरुले उडाएको धुलोमा
हामी दुबै हरायौँ
र त्यसपछि
कहिल्यै भेटेनौ एक​-अर्कालाई
फगत​ सम्झनाका सारथीहरु
कल्पनाका पात्र न हौँ

घडी

उदाउने र
अस्ताउनेहरु
मुखामुख कहिल्यै भेटेनन
तर पनि पछ्याइरहन्छन एक अर्कालाई
मेरो भित्ते घडीका
सुईहरुले बोकेर घुमिरहन्छ
उनीहरुलाई
हर प्रहर​
त्यहि पनि
युगौँदेखि मेटाइरहेछन
एकले अर्काको नमेटिने पाइतलाहरु
खैर​
कहिल्यै बुझेनन​
उनीहरु हिड्ने आकास एउटै छ भनेर​
