Akhand Jyoti
‘Akhand Jyoti magazine has incarnated as a Messenger of New Era’ - Param Poojya Gurudev
Apno se apni baat – Hamara santoshprad bhoot aur aashajanak bhavishya (Akhand Jyoti (Hindi) magazine, December 1968, pg - 61)
Akhand Jyoti is the consciousness of Mahakal (The Time Spirit) strung on words. That is why its touch alleviates the pangs of the soul; its caress brings smile on a dispirited face. Wherever Amrit Kalash (the pot of nectar) of these words spills, new sprouts of spiritual consciousness start growing; wherever the knowledge-lamps of these words are lighted, be it the path, the courtyard or the mind, the darkness of doubt and ignorance vanishes.
The study and contemplation of the articles published in this magazine imprint lasting righteous impressions on the mind. The lines of these articles have different impacts in different contexts. For example, when it is read by an individual, it serves as a guide in solving day-to-day problems that otherwise appear complex to resolve. At the crossroads, one finds the right path to achieve the goal of life.
Discussion on such articles among the family members helps in creating an atmosphere of love, harmony and respect. The children get the nourishment of positive thoughts. The youth get inspiration and new hope to achieve their goals. The parents receive an appropriate guidance for fulfilling their duties towards family and society. Apart from this, Akhand Jyoti also uplifts and refines the inner psyche. Keeping these virtues of this magazine in mind, its founder Param Poojya Gurudev printed on front cover of the very first issue of this magazine:
Sandesh nahin mein swarglok ka lai, is dharti ko hi swarg banane aayi.
Meaning: ‘I (Akhand Jyoti) have not descended from heaven; I have come to make this very earth a heaven’.
