Dadi Gulzar's Ascension, A Letter from Sister Mohini
13 March 2021
DADI GULZAR’S ASCENSION
Dear Sisters and Brothers:
On this auspicious day of Shivratri, the day we honor our most beloved Shiv Baba, our dearest Dadi Gulzar ascended to her avyakt stage and is presently in her angelic form with Bapdada in the subtle region. She has transcended space and time and her day of becoming avyakt will be synonymous with Shivratri, rather than on a specific date. Dadi Gulzar is the Shakti who merged with Shiva on Shivratri.
Dadi Gulzar surrendered her body, heart, and soul completely to Bapdada. Her noble purpose was for the children to have loving avyakt meetings with Bapdada. What was most important to her was for each child to feel close to Baba and it didn’t matter if her body was in one position for long hours, over several days, she was ever-ready and available to Baba.
The deep and heartfelt gratitude in our hearts echoes with profound love across the seven seas. Dadi Gulzar’s face leaves an indelible imprint on our souls — Bapdada’s drishti through her eyes; Bapdada’s avyakt Murlis through her mouth; Bapdada’s closeness through her smile; and Bapdada’s presence through her silence. Dadi Gulzar came from silence and has returned to silence.
We will spend the next 13 days honoring the life of this extraordinary soul as we spend time in silent reflection on the beauty of her purity and the magnificence of her master almighty authority role.
The cremation of her body will be on Saturday, March 13 at 10:00 am (IST) which is Friday night 11:30 pm (EST). Her body will be taken up the mountain to Pandav Bhawan and Gyan Sarovar tomorrow, Friday 12, after which it will rest in the Conference Hall at Shantivan until the final rites on Saturday.
Bhog can only be offered after the final rites. We should offer Bhog for Dadi Gulzar on Sunday, March 14.
You are invited to participate with Avyakti Parivar in the following programs:
1. Akand Bhatti (ongoing bhatti), starting from Amritvela 3:30 am to 8:30 pm (Thursday 11, Friday 12, Saturday 13 of March)
2. Bhog will be offered by Didi Mohini every evening, starting Saturday, March 13 and will continue for 13 days in honor of Dadi Gulzar’s ascension.
In Baba’s loving remembrance
BK Mohini
