Introduction: The Holy Kuljam Swaroop
The Kuljam Swaroop Saheb and Bitak Saheb, the Holy Words of Lord Prannath, are regarded to be the two authentic holy books of the Faith that are infallible. Therefore, in matters of principles, these two holy books are regarded as the ultimate authority. No major literature was generated during the time of Nijanand Swami, the founder of this Faith. A variety of literature is available today on the various aspects of the Nijanand Sampradaya. Various prominent Comrade Sundersath of that time, such as Navrang Swami, wrote a good number of books to expand upon Prannathji’s Supreme Wisdom. They do offer a valuable explanation regarding the many topics discussed in the Holy Books; however, these expanded literature must always be tallied with the Original Divine Words of Kuljam Swaroop and Bitak Saheb to understand the true meanings. Kuljam Swaroop: The Fifth Veda The Kuljam Swaroop, the sacred book of the Faith, contains divine words directly emanating from the lips of Mahamati – the one having the spotless (Nish-kalanka) Wisdom, whom Supreme Lord Aksharateet bestowed all of His powers. It is not just a sacred book, it’s the object of worship for the Nijanandis in place of an idol or any godly image. Literally, “Kul” means total and complete, Jam means a depository, i.e., a complete source of divine wisdom and love. The word Swaroop attached to Kuljam is quite appropriate, because it explains Swaroop, the true divine form of Supreme Lord. With full respect, it is called ‘Shri Kuljam Swaroop Saheb.’ Its language is chiefly a commonly spoken Hindustani, which is in fact, a mixture of many contemporary Indian regional languages. Who compiled Kuljam Swaroop? How authentic is the present version of Kuljam Swaroop? Did anyone make any change in it? By Samvat 1748, the descent of the Holy Words was over. Three years later, in Samvat 1751, Sri Ji left his mortal coil. The first compilation of the Holy Kuljam Swaroop, in its original handwritten form in 18,758 verses (chaupai), wasdone by one devotee Sundersath called Keshavdas, in the period 1692-1694 AD. This was done in Sri Prannathji’s presence. All verses were recorded by the Sundersath souls, who used to stay with Prannathji, exactly in the same manner and language as they emanated from His lips. The compiler has not made any change nor any changes are permitted by anyone either in its material content or in its original verse style. All present versions are much the same. Yes, there were some attempts to change the style, the order of some chapters, and even the name of the Kuljam Swaroop! For example, some have even renamed it as ‘Tartam Sagar’ – a more convenient Hindu-styled name. These changes, however, never surfaced before as an important issue in the minds of ordinary Sundersath devotees. Specifically, these types of changes were not noticeable until the advent of Shri Nijanand Jagni Abhiyan Movement under the auspice of H. H. Jagni Ratan. Many of you even may not be knowing the fact that recently, approximately 200 unauthorized verses were also found incorporated intentionally in one of the published versions of the Holy Bitak Saheb. Historically, H. H. Jagni Ratan has served as a Jagni Watch Dog by taking all necessary steps from time to time to prevent such humanly contaminations. The root of the belief is the divinity of the words contained in these Books. Who is the author of Kuljam Swaroop? In true sense, the Kuljam Swaroop represents God’s own Words, not authored by any individual. As we discussed earlier, Kuljam Swaroop is the compilation of the divine words directly emanating from the lips of Mahamati. However, as we read the chapters, we find several names such as Mehraj, Indrawati, Mahamati, Chhatrasal, Lalita etc. at the end of some of these chapters. This leads an outsider to believe that Kuljam Swaroop is authored by more than one person. However, in reality, it is the same person speaking with different spiritual forces! Mehraj is the name of a person in who is the soul (Indrawati) of Paramdham. With all the powers of our Lord, the soul, and therefore Mehraj, earned the title of Mahamati. These three names are not physically separate. Also, Indrawati and Mahamati are not the same as Prannathji. To better understand this, let’s think of a conference call scenario. Think of three parties on a conference call – Indrawati or Mahamati, Prannathji (The Lord) and the Sundersath souls. In Kuljam Swaroop, mostly, Indrawati (or Mahamati) places the phone calls to our Lord Raj Ji; and then Sundersath souls are connected on the line. Who is Prannathji, in view of Bitak? All sundersaths regard Bitak as the foundation of their faith. In Bitak Saheb, the word ‘Sri Raj’ appears 324 times, the word ‘Hakk’ appears 165 times, the word ‘Dhani’ appears 114 times. Among all these appearances, Prannathji is equated with Sri Rajji 226 times, Prannathji is equated with Hakk 22 times, Prannathji is equated with Dhani 28 times. Utilizing at least 12 concrete Bitak incidents, Sarkar Sri brings to light the fact that Prannathji is Aksharateet. Based on their interaction with Sri Prannathji, many people from diverse background realized Prannathji as nothing less than Aksharateet. Sarkar Sri directs our focus on those who came in direct contact with Sri Prannathji. He reminds us of Keshav Bhatt, Chintamani of Kabir Sect in Thattha, Jindadas mali, The sundersaths in Udaypur, Jahan Muhammad in Aurangabad, Bhikharidas in Ramnagar, Surat sing in Ramnagar, Surat Singh’s view to Dev Karan , Panna, Chhatrasaalji, Kaji Abdul Rasul, and Kalpi’s Mullah. After presenting these examples, Sarkar Sri asks these questions to all of us: Why then we declare Him as a Saint?34 How appropriate it is to degrade Prannathji, if we can not rightly sing His glory to the world? Who is Prannathji In view of Kuljam Swaroop? Realization of Sri Prannathji as Aksharateet Supreme Brahmn Himself is the first goal of the Holy Kuljam Swaroop. Unless we recognize Him, We can not realize our own true identity. Let’s examine these sixty (60) citations from all books of the holy Kuljam Swaroop, which Pujya Sarkar Sri brought to light in his recent book ‘Padho, socho aur samzoh.’ All these citations clearly declare Prannathji or Sri Ji as Aksharateet Supreme Brahmn. No where from Sri Raas to Kayamat Nama, Prannathji has been identified as a saint or a devotee of Sri Krishna. Please read pages 36-57. Kuljam Swaroop: The ‘Swayam-Sam-Veda It revealed to the Nish-kalanka Buddha, through the Archangel of Jagrit Buddha – Asrafeil. Its completeness can be experienced from the fact that it discloses the hidden secrets of many world scriptures. Kuljam Swaroop aims at three specific goals:- To reinstate the Brahm Srishti souls in Paramdham by reminding them of their Nijanand form;
- To make Ishwari Srishti souls aware of the blissful sports of Paramdham; and
- To awaken Jiva Srishti souls and offer eternal salvation in the cosmos of Yogmaya. It condemns the practice of spreading religions by attracting people through fear or miracles, or both.
RAAS
Shri Raas (913 verses, 1658AD, Jam., Port of Div, also called as Anjil or the new Bible): Sri Raas is the name of the first volume of the Holy Kuljam Swaroop. The book of Raas serves as a foundation stone for the soul’s spiritual journey. Every atom of that foundation stone emits unparallelled love for the Supreme Brahmn. God is love and love is God. This is the only message of Sri Raas. Raas exemplifies the intimacy of a soul (atman) and the Supreme Atman, Parmatma, through divine sports played in Nitya Brindavan. In Raas Lila, Consort Shyama, Brahm Srishti souls and the Supreme Lord played the role of Radha, Gopies and Krishna, respectively. Appropriately, the book of Raas begins with the explanation of the number one obstacle called maya, the illusive potency. It offers clear understanding regarding the nature of maya and shows a way to win over its rule to attain Nijanand. A soul can not step closer to her Lord without fully understanding the tools and techniques of this biggest enemy, which is also created through the Lord’s will.

Sindhi Wani (Sindhi, 600 verses, 1688 – 89 AD, Panna): In this book, the soul of Indrawati goes to the divine court of the Supreme Lord as a lawyer, and fights with Supreme Lord. It’s an example of true fight for the divine love.

The Song of Kuljam Swaroop
Whoever truly seeks the supreme eternal joy from the Holy Kuljam Swaroop, s/he develops the spiritual insight that enables one to rise to the supreme Abode (Param Dham) which is beyond Had (Kaalmaya) and Behad (Yogmaya).
Whoever thinks / ponders about the holy words of Kuljam Swaroop everyday, that soul attains spiritual awakening; and the great doors of the Param Dham are open for her.
Whoever worships the Holy Kuljam Swaroop (as the form of RajShyamaji) daily, the perfect love emerges in such a heart; and as a result, the awakened soul experiences the true form of RajShyamaji.
The Kuljam Swaroop is such a great treasure that whoever reads it, or inspires anyone to read it, experiences all her wishes fulfilled. In addition, such a soul enjoys the joy and bliss of all the four sports: Brij, Raas, Jagni, and Param Dham.
Kuljam Swaroop is such a miraculous medicine that, whoever daily reads its Parayana, remains constantly engaged with the Perfect Divine Couple Sri Raj Shyamaji, and finds herself playing on the seven Ghats of the Holy River Yamunaji.
In whoever’s heart the Kuljam Swaroop’s holy words constantly reverate, my hearty pranam goes to all such (purified) sundersath.
