This blog of mine is dedicated to life and works of Dr. Aniruddha Joshi (M.D.) better known amongst common masses as Bapu.
Born in 1956, Dr. Aniruddha Joshi studied at Shirodkar Vidylalaya School in Parel, before following in his father’s footsteps, by opting for medicine. A brilliant student and gold medalist, he gained his MD, specializing in Rheumatology. A lecturer in Nair Hospital till 1985, he later started his private practice in Dadar and Parel, which he continued till 1998.
For the establishment of ‘Ramrajya’ by year 2025, Bapu instituted the Aniruddha Samarpan Pathak. Under this organization volunteers involve themselves in devotional services like including rehabilitation of leprosy patients, organization of blood donation camps, working for the blind, running de-addiction centers and cleanliness and hygiene awareness, etc. A welfare centre for earthquake victims opened in June 2001, in Kharoi village, Kutch, has a team of volunteers, including qualified medical professionals, administering treatment. As part of the rural development scheme, a few villages in Dhule, Maharashtra, have been adopted by the SSAUT (Shree Aniruddha Upasna Trust).

This Thursday (15th January 2009), Dr. Aniruddha Joshi (Bapu) was not present at the Discourse venue at Bandra. Following is the extract of some of the most important points that Bapu mentioned in His last Discourse done on 8th January 2009.
Bapu congratulated all the people present who had observed Vardhaman Vratadhiraj. Bapu said that He visited many homes where this fasting was practiced religiously and found that everyone was doing it with utmost seriousness and love for Lord from within.
Bapu also introduced one concept called One Page Diary. Trust has printed dairies with Bapu’s photo on the cover page with Lord Dattaguru in the background. In this we have to enlist the tasks that we have to complete everyday. Once that day gets over the same page has to be torn with the unfinished tasks being carried over to the next day’s activities to be done. Bapu said that with implementation of this technique, success would be guaranteed as time management would to realized by its implementers.
Through reference of shlok ‘Chandrama Manosojata’ He explained us how to shift the mind from general human state to one filled with love for Lord and solid belief on Him. It is only through Bhakti & Seva that this state can be achieved by anyone.
Bapu made everyone recite Aradhan Jyoti Chapter 11 from Mahasankatmochan Mahapapnivarak Divyaprakash Aradhana Book. This Pushpa is deiacted to Lord Hanumant. Bapu said that if anybody is troubling you in whatever way then by reciting this hymn you could get rid of the trouble your adversary is causing you.

Bapu wrote 12 full pages of the entire paper on how, when, why, with whom, for what, etc…. about World War 3. You will start wondering that how come this ‘man’ knows all this and is telling us so openly? But as described by Him Pratyaksha is one of those things, which is going to be savior of bhaktas during the period of Third World War the others being Ram Naam Book and course, training and implementation of principle and techniques taught at Aniruddha’s Academy Disaster Management

The Third World War by Dr. Aniruddha Joshi
WORLD WAR 3!!!
Bapu has written the editorial on this subject and has made us aware as to how this war is going to be fought, where is going to be fought, etc. Bapu Illustrated with help of evidence and study, all the paradigms of the theatre of this war.

Pakistan (Unfortunate Country for Universe)!!
Pakistan, this adopted son of china will be at the helm of the formulating the beginning of the third world war. This country universally is heavily connected with a lot of changes in the political world. There would be a great and a strong warrior in this country who will formulate and direct the third world war.
Attack on India
Currently a plan is being formulated to capture certain parts of northern India and govern these places in order to cut down India’s boundaries by 50%. And to achieve this goal, Bangladesh will be used in this case and right from Gujarat border to Punjab, Kashmir, Nepal, Bengal, Assam in the north to Vishakhapatnam, hence 2/3rd India will be forced to enter this war and then India will not be able to help America in any way, and it looks like plan will be very strongly formulated.
The need of the hour is that India and Russia should share a very close relationship and should be very closely united. Moreover both the countries should have a capable, firm and a strong political leadership.
War on American Land
The most important thing in a war is, the land on which it is fought, and with which country. Till Today America fought and made others fight amongst themselves, on someone else’s soil, leaving their own unscathed and untouched. They never allowed any war to splii and escalate on their land, but not anymore. Now in the coming world war, many battles will be fought on America’s land and this is going to be the most important aspect of world war 3. In a war, attack and protection are the two sides of the same coin.
Bangladesh
Bangladesh, which is situated in the heart of India, can stab India in the back.
Condeleeza Rice:
She is the first lady to become the foreign minister of USA. Today she is the topmost eminent and courageous political lady. She shall have a strong hold on all the situations arising in the future. Her name will be synonymous forever in the history of the third world war.
China
Area of China is 59 lacks, square miles. Population is 136 crores and it’s a communist country. This country wishes to expand its boundaries four times of its current size! However its map will change 4 times in the next 18 yrs. This country will be the most intelligent one, and play a vital role as that of “Chanakya” in this war.
6th June 2006 (6.6.6)
Will be the beginning of terrorism and attacks, (Just for your information): - This number can be called as the number, which kicks of a world war. When these three 6’s came together we had World War 1 and 2 and now it’s the third one coming up!!!
The gates of the third world war shall open on
6th June 2006
when Pakistan and Al-Qaeda, will heavily speed up terrorism.
Osama Bin Laden
USA should have taken precautionary steps at the very time when Osama, warned America in 1989. – The result of American ignorance culminated in what is recognized as 9/11 He is the first human being, to shatter the wits of a super power like America. The time of commencement of the 3rd world war solely depends on his health. His both the kidneys have failed and he is currently on dialysis. If his kidney transplant is successful, then the time of the 3rd World War shall be postponed but, if his health deteriorates, then the war is just at a one hand’s distance!!! America is out in all directions in the world to capture and/or kill him.
From this year 2006, to the next 12-14 years terrorism will be at its peak in the whole world, which will create horrifying situations. THE WORLD WAR WILL BE FOUGHT FOR AROUND 12-14 YEARS POST 2006.
Prince Charles & The British Royal Family.
This royal family is honored by the entire British people as well as by the whole of Europe, America and commonwealth countries. According to Abu Zaraqi, the murder of the persons holding the highest position in this royal family, will defame the power and strength of Britain. And even if this happens in the smallest proportion, then the whole of Europe will be at America’s side in no time, to fight the war.
“My blessings to this royal family and I pray at Lord Dattaguru’s feet, that this should not happen!” – P. P. Aniruddha Bapu. And if this horrible deed takes place, then this will spark a massive fire, which will spread in all directions, leading to unbelievable horrifying situations.
India
ONCE AGAIN WILL BE MAHA-BHARAT!!!
MY INDIA IS GREAT.
THE COMING WAR IS MAHABHARAT AND AT THE END OF THE WAR, THE NATION TO PACIFY AND CONSOLE THE WHOLE WORLD TOWARDS ULTIMATE PEACE AND HAPPINESS WILL BE MAHA-BHARAT!!
(MAHA MEANS GREAT, AS WELL AS - MINE!)
If the unity amongst the Hindus and Muslims residing in India prevails, then, the after effects of the World War 3 would be minimized.
In the past few years we did not have any one political party ruling the country. Sometimes it was BJP, and sometime Congress. In this situation, the ruling party cannot take decisions immediately, hence if same situation remains, during pre and post war, India will NOT be able to use its strengths effectively and this would be the greatest danger, India would face! So, the need of the hour is that the main ruling party should take precautionary steps, which would be beneficial to all Indians. This makes it imperative for we all India’s to taking part in elections and make it sure that no regional and communal politicians are elected.
“May whatever happen in the whole world, but there should not be any war against any religion in India, this is my ultimate and practical wish, and to achieve this goal, I have kept myself ready to work constructively with justice and truth to any extent.” - Bapu.
“I THINK THAT THE WORK OF REHABILLITATING AND LOOKING AFTER THE SURVIVORS OF THE ‘SAVED WORLD’, AFTER THE WORLD WAR, LIES WITH “INDIA” ALONE “” – Bapu.
The above 10 Points are just a glimpse of what Bapu has written. This whole new subject is best when read from the actual book.

Bapu’s 13 Points Plan
Social work, charitable activities, nature and resources’ conservation, interfaith thinking and scientific attitude blend seamlessly in this unique programme formulated and launched by Dr. Aniruddha Joshi. The programme introduced by Bapu on 3rd October 2002 is implemented through the medium of various organizations lke Aniruddha Academy of Disaster Management, Aniruddha Upasna Trust, Dilasa Medical Foundation, Aniruddha’s House of Friends, etc. This programme is totally oriented towards making society strong at the grass roots and building India into a strong and global superpower ‘Samartha Bharat’ by the year 2025, the year when Bapu envisages establishment of Ram Rajya globally.
Charkha Yojana:
Yarn spun by volunteers is made into cloth to be distributed among needy students and their families for free. The distribution is done in the tribal areas of Thane district. One of the largest Medical Camps’ in the world is held every year at Kolhapur where the school uniforms, woven from the yarn generated from this programmme is distributed among the school going kids of laborers and farmers for free.
Gograss Yojana: (Fodder Plan)
Grass grown by volunteers in their own houses and in the jurisdiction of their upasna centre is collected and sent to famine-stricken, flood-stricken, etc areas as fodder for cattle. The animals relish the green fresh fodder and yield more milk, which in turn helps the poor farmers. Aniruddha Upasna Trust also runs many Relief Camps for cattle in the famine or drought hit areas.
Raddi Yojana:
Old paper collected from people is converted into paper bags to be used instead of non-biodegradable plastics. Paper pulp is used to make articles like notebooks, textbooks, etc for distribution to needy students as incentive to go to school.
Old is Gold Yojana:
Old utensils, clothing, books, toys etc, are collected for distribution to needy students. During the annual Medical Camp held at Kolhapur these items are distributed for free among the families of laborers and farmers for free.
Warmth of Love Yojana:
Torn cloth is used to make quilts for the poor. This helps them to survive the harsh winter. Major distribution of these items under this programme is done during Kolhapur Medical Camp. All the female homemakers who are associated with activities of the Trust are always the leading force on this programme.
Vidya Prakash Yojana: (Godhadi Yojana)
This specific programme illuminates the utmost thought and love that Bapu has for everyone. Considering that the children in the rural areas do not get to enjoy the privilege of uninterrupted supply of electricity candles and matchboxes are donated to for poor students for their use, which enables them to study even without electricity. If one deeply thinks over this programme he would come to know as to how immensely important and thought provoking this programme is and would be contributing towards building the a strong foundation of the nation, our Samarth Bharat.
Cleanliness Yojana:
Volunteers of Aniruddha Upasna Trust undertake cleaning up of public schools, hospitals and places of worship. The volunteer forget their professional and social status and take part in this seva just because Bapu has designed this programme.
Ahilya Sangh Yojana:
It is a group working towards women empowerment. But here word empowerment is not just restricted to financial terms but touches every walk of life of women. Women are groomed, trained and empowered physically, mentally, familially but also behaviorally. It encompasses various activities like Bal-Vidya training (Ancient Indian Martial Arts Training), Atma-Bal Course (Personality Development Course), Tree Plantation and Tree care programmes, etc.
Grantharaj Shreemad Purushartha
To free society of unnecessary rituals and blind faith, a new Religious Text Book -confluence of Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism and Buddhism is written and published by Bapu. So far 3 editions of the same have been written and published by Bapu viz., 1) Satya-Smruti 2) Prem-Prawas 3) Anand-Sadhana and 2 more editions are yet to be launched. This series gives us complete guidance on trivial issues like our diet to even critical issues like how not just to live but lead life, how to face and solves the problems faced in it, etc. In the truest sense this is the real Grantharaj (King of Books) of the world.
Information Bank:
Every Thursday, before his discourse, Bapu imparts scientific information and update devotees on new scientific discoveries.
Bhartiya Bhasha Sangram:
To inculcate a sense of brotherhood among Indians, volunteers learn at least one language other than their mother tongue. A facility to house this activity is being created. Around 1200 volunteers are already studying different Indian languages, apart from their mother tongue, which, in time to come, will become the harbinger of national integration in its truest sense. Moreover Bapu Himself has taught many non-Marathi speaking people Marathi.
The Institute of Studies of Five Continents:
An institute aimed at the study of five continents, on the lines of the Institute of Regional Studies is being formed. The progress and politics of the five continents, scientific, educational and cultural progress and regression, all will be a part of the study. This institute will produce social scientists in order to bring the disparate communities of the world together. Taking into consideration the already ignited Third World War this institute assumes huge importance.

The another project undertaken under by AADM is Vermiculture in which the bio-degradable waste is composted with help of earthworms to be converted into an organic manure which is 300% more nutritive and chemically safe for nature and moreover produced at almost zero-cost. AADM has succeeded in producing more than 4 tones of manure annually from urban waste alone. In a city like Mumbai which produces more than 7000 tones of waste everyday and which is running out of space of dumping grounds, this is the ideal solution.

Dr. Aniruddha Joshi inaugurated Shree Kshetra Gurukshetram on 3rd September 2007. The portrait of Lord Shree Dattaguru which Bapu has been worshipping since He was of 8 years has been enlarged and put in one of the chambers for darshan. In the same chamber Bapu has established Dharmasthan where Bapu sits everyday after offering prayer to Lord Dattaguru.
Bapu has established ‘Shreemad-Purushartha Purshottam Yantra’ in the other chamber which is the place where Panch-Guru viz., Lord Dattaguru, Goddess Gayatri Mata, Lord Rama, Lord Hanumant and Lord Sai Baba stay. In the main hall of Gurukshetram a huge portrait of Goddess Anusaya Mata has also been put up. Bapu has also kept Udi, which is distributed for free to any and all bhaktas visiting the place. Everyday Aarti is performed twice a day.
The Purshottam Yantra is the only one of its kind in this entire universe. A single visiting this temple is equivalent to visiting 108 general temples. The same importance of the temple would be preserved till the occurrence of the Great Deluge, which would ultimately destroy the existing life on the earth and give rebirth to the entire Mother Earth and the mankind.

Shree Kshetra Govidyapeetham, Kothimbe - Karjat
Under the invaluable guidance of Dr. Aniruddha Joshi, Aniruddha Upasana Trust has launched the Shree Govidyapeetham Project. A 16-acre area in the vicinity of Karjat has been designated for the purpose. This unique project intends to make use of sophisticated equipment like the laboratory, the chiller room, etc. only as and when the need may arise. All activity will otherwise be conducted in natural surroundings.
The two essential aspects of the Govindyapeetham project are:
1) Gopalavidya 2) Shree Govindavidya or in other words, " Facets of the life of Lord Shree Krishna"
1) Gopalavidya 2) Shree Govindavidya or in other words, " Facets of the life of Lord Shree Krishna"
1) Gopalavidya : The Indian culture worships cow believing her to be divine and a source of life and energy. Modern science too emphasizes the importance of and values the cow, her milk, her excretory products, viz. The Gomutra and the Gomaya. Balram is known to have reared and groomed the ‘Gir’ breed of milch cows. The Gopalavidya too aims at grooming and nurturing the cow and conducting research in the field. The project will also focus on a comprehensive study of our culture that associates sanctity with the cow and believes her to be a source of vital energy. It is also an accepted fact that the cow with all its goodness has a general virtuous effect on our lives and can thus lead to the welfare of the entire humanity.
2) Govindavidya: Govinda is Lord Shree Krishna. His persona, His life, His powers, His role, His ideology and His value system put together compose the Govindavidya. To study the Govindavidya. And arouse thereby ‘love’; love for Shree Krishna and to become aware of and feel His love for us is indeed the primary goal of this project. Govidyapeetham is the foundation on which ‘bhakti’; 'dharma' and valor will flourish.
Prominent features of the Govidyapeetham.
-
A magnificent temple of Lord Shree Krishna bearing the Govardhan mountain on His little finger,built on the 16 acre land. -
The study and research of Gopalavidya and Govinavidya -
Striving towards a solution to the problems that life is faced with today, falling back on the Bhagwat Geeta (told to Arjun to indicate to him, his duty, his dharma) and the Uddhav Geeta or the Bhagwat (told to Uddhav to till and prepare the terrain of his mind) as frames of reference, will be an important endeavor of the Govidyapeetham. -
The actual rearing and grooming with help of modern equipment, of the Gir breed of milch cows will be undertaken for the purpose of an in-depth and a comprehensive study of the various aspects of the Gopalavidya of Lord Shree Krishna. To drive home to the masses and to reiterate the importance of the milk, the curds, the butter, the buttermilk and the ghee, all made from the milk of the cow is one of the principle tasks of the Govidyapeetham. -
The revival and restoration of ancient Indian wealth, unfortunately lost in the tide of time, viz., ancient vidyas like the Govidya, the Gomatividya, the Gayatrividya alongwith some effective mantras like the Gosukta, the Gomatimantra, the Surabhimantra and the Gayatrimantra is an important objective of the project. -
Physical training and exercise along with the training in the ancient martial arts are part of the curriculum and will be conducted in the midst of nature.
Lodging boarding facilities are also made available to devotees who wish to spend their time in the vicinity of nature chanting Lord’s name.
