PREFACE

This website is based upon the ancient Indian Philosophy of Vedanta, in which the word, God, has a widely different interpretation than that commonly used. In this philosophy God is defined as an Infinite, Invisible all-pervading Spirit that exists everywhere in the Universe, and who especially exists as Love and Peace within the hearts of men. And it is in that sense that God is defined here.

It is a philosophy which basically states that God is present in each and every person in the world. However it is only where His qualities of Love and Peace manifest themselves that the person is described as a godly person or God Incarnate. Others then begin to experience God in him.
A man has two attributes within himself -- the first are purely worldly, of selfishness and pride, and all the ills that go with them.The second attribute is that of Love and Peace, a feeling that goes beyond his individual self and encompasses the whole of mankind and concern for all.

In some the worldly instints are paramount but in others the godly qualities manifest themselves. Such people with godly attributes do not live for their own sake, they live for the sake of others, they are possessed with a feeling of universal love which goes out towards all of creation. These persons have surrendered their own will before the will of God, and therefore they have no will of their own and are guided solely by the Divine Will.God acts through them to spread goodness and righteousness in the world. Such persons are truly qualified to be defined as God Incarnate-- human beings in which the power of God acts and the Will of God manifests itself. They are like the drops of water that have fallen into the ocean and who have become the ocean.

The philosophy describes a feeling of oneness of man with God where the individual self of man has merged itself into the Universal Self of God. The ancient Sufi philosophy in India said much the same thing. The philosophy is meant to make people aspire towards Love and Peace so that they can be truly said to be united together in God.

HH Shri Bhola Nathji was a personality whose entire life was given over to the service of mankind, who had a love for all the people in the world, who considered everyone's sorrows as his own. He attributed all miracles in his life to the Grace of God and the prayers of mankind. Though he was described by many as God Incarnate, he was much too humble to relegate any importance to himself and always called himself a servant of mankind. He had accepted all the faiths of the world as his own. His message was simple-- that prayers, righteous living and Love and Peace were means to reach God. He saw God in every person upon earth and said that all of mankind should unite itself in a fellowship of Love and Peace. It was with that purpose that that he had founded the World Prayer Day for Peace upon earth.

The appeal of the World Prayer Day was simple: "Pray for peace upon earth, wherever you are in whatever way you like." It cut through boundaries of race, religion or nationality and sought to unite people together in a fellowship of Love and Peace.

H.H. Shri Bhola Nathji, also known as Shri Nathji, and his Harvard educated son, Priya Nath Mehta, are widely known and respected by many in India.

Shri Nathji GodIncarnate

The author of this website is Priya Nath Mehta, who is a former scholar and nuclear physicist from Harvard University. He is the son of H.H. Shri Bhola Nathji Bhagwan about whom this dissertation has been written.

The twentieth century saw the advent of a Great Being who was the Cosmic or Universal Soul or the Incarnation of God upon earth, - a Being of Light Divine,carrying with Him the Eternal Message of Love for humanity. He came upon the earth as an answer to the need of the times.

He was born upon this planet on the 23rd of June 1902 and lived upon the earth for ninety years, showering His Divine Grace and Blessings upon humanity and alleviating the ills and sorrows of mankind, and ultimately saving the world from the most terrible destruction in history from a nuclear holocaust.

People of all faiths, intellectuals, scientists, philosophers, the common folk everywhere, and even atheists, were drawn towards him. Men, women and children flocked to him in multitudes. People experienced an overwhelming force of Love in his presence, and were taken to a plane of indescribable Bliss and Peace where space and time did not exist. He had the power to grant God-Realisation to people in an instant, and to convert atheists to believers in a single glance. In his personality people experienced God .

His name was Bhola Nath, or His Holiness Shri Bhola Nathji Bhagwan. . He was lovingly called Shri Nathji, by all. He was the most beautiful person upon earth with a beauty that was not of this world but was Divine in origin, with a radiance so strong that it bathed his face in a Light Divine. All who looked upon his face knew
at once that they were looking upon the Face of God upon earth.
His portraits speak for themselves. See the albums of his portraits at:

He did not establish any cult or sect or separate faith, nor did he initiate followers , but would often say:

" I have a relationship with all. To include only a few is to exclude the rest of the world."

"I see in every religion my own religion and my religion in every religion. Water is that which quenches your thirst, call it by any name that you like. All the rivers flow down to the same ocean. All have one Father and all are His children. In this thought alone all religious differences can cease to exist."

Miracles followed him wherever he went. The incurably sick were cured, people were raised from the dead, hopeless failures succeeded, barren parents conceived, peace was returned to the inconsolable. People had visions of him even when he was thousands of miles away. The forces of Nature were held in abeyance, rivers in spate were halted. Wars were averted. The events of the external world appeared as chess pieces before him.

However he attached no importance to these events and said:

"Speak not to me of miracles,
For I have left miracles behind."
" The greatest miracle for me is the light of faith which I kindle in your hearts,
and which not even the greatest storms of the world can blow out. "

He was the humblest Being in existence and called himself in all humility: Ghulam Rue Zameen, which is Persian for : the Servant of the Earth.

He used to say :
" I am a very old companion of yours,
I was your companion even before the Universe came into existence."

" I have not come to ask anything of you,
I have come to give you of myself ."

" I am not that light which rests only upon your heads,
I am that light which rests upon your feet as well."

" I am eternally free, but I shall remain in bondage till the last person on earth is free."

His arms went out to embrace humanity and his voice carried the nectar of life. To listen to his words was to be transported to another plane where only peace and bliss remained. It was not the voice of an ordinary orator. It was the Voice of God.

"This is not my voice, It is the Voice of God.
I can go on speaking till eternity."

He described his mission in life with the words:

"I have no mission except Love in this world.
My mission is Love and my work is Love."

The advent of H.H. Shri Bhola Nathji upon this planet earth showed that the Eternal, Invisible God, who already resides everywhere and in every person can also assume a special human form of His own choosing in which His Divine Beauty and Divine Qualities are made manifest. His life and teachings left behind an invaluable legacy for mankind which shall continue to guide the people of the world for ages to come. He wrote widely in various languages- Hindi, Urdu, Persian and English. These writings are divine revelations .

H.H. Shri Bhola Nathji came down upon the planet earth to save mankind from itself in a century where the weapons of mass destruction had become so lethal and so large in numbers that they could have destroyed the whole world. It was a time when God could have allowed the world to perish, but he did not do so. Instead he showered his mercy and Grace upon his erring children and forgave them. The advent of H.H. Shri Bhola Nathji showed that the real face of God was that of forgiveness, love and peace . H.H. Shri Bhola Nathji is remembered for his World Prayer Crusade for Peace at a time when a nuclear holocaust was imminent.

In the pages that are to follow it is hoped that the readers can find the essence of that which they are seeking and come face to face with H.H. Shri Bhola Nathji in the innermost recesses of their hearts.

If He could grant recognition of himself to certain selected souls when he was in his bodily frame, He can grant this recognition to genuine seekers after truth even now. May he fill the hearts of all with love, happiness and peace.
