Introduction
The Islamic month of Muharram is one of the most significant periods in the lunar calendar, marked by reflection, mourning, and spiritual lessons. While many know Muharram for the tragedy of Ashura, very few understand the true spiritual meaning behind these events. According to the enlightened spiritual discourses of Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, this month presents not only a historic moment of sacrifice but also reveals deep truths about true worship, devotion, and salvation.
In this article, we will explore Muharram 2025, the date of Ashura, and the history and spiritual significance of the events of Karbala, as revealed through the divine knowledge of Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj based on holy scriptures.
1. What is Muharram? A Deeper Meaning Beyond Ritual
Muharram is the first month of the Islamic lunar calendar and one of the four sacred months mentioned in the Holy Quran in Surah At-Tawbah (9:36). While traditionally seen as a month of mourning, Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj explains that this month is a reminder for humanity to turn away from false worship and seek the path of true devotion.
🔹 “A true devotee does not merely mourn the past but seeks the truth to prevent such injustice from ever repeating.” – Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj
2. When Will Muharram and Ashura Be Observed in 2025?
Muharram 1447 AH is expected to begin on the evening of Sunday, June 29, 2025, with Ashura falling on Tuesday, July 8, 2025. These dates may vary depending on the moon sighting in various countries.
3. Historical Overview: The Tragedy of Karbala
The 10th day of Muharram, known as Ashura, commemorates the martyrdom of Imam Hussain ibn Ali, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), in Karbala (present-day Iraq) in 680 CE.
Imam Hussain, along with 72 of his family members and companions, stood up against the tyrant Yazid. They were denied water for three days and were martyred in an unjust battle. This event is mourned deeply by Shia Muslims and observed with reverence by Sunnis as well.
Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj’s Insight on Karbala
According to Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, the tragedy of Karbala symbolizes what happens when true spiritual knowledge is lost. Imam Hussain (RA) fought against falsehood, but he too lacked the complete path of true bhakti (devotion) as granted by a Tatvdarshi Saint, the kind mentioned in Gita Chapter 4:34.
4. Why Did Imam Hussain Suffer Despite His Piety?
Many ask: Why was Imam Hussain martyred if he was righteous?
Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj explains that even the most pious suffer when they do not know the correct way to worship. The Holy Quran, in Surah Al-Mulk (67:2), says:
“He who created death and life to test which of you is best in deed.”
But performing rituals or simply opposing injustice is not enough for salvation. Imam Hussain was brave and just, but he lacked true knowledge about the Supreme God – Kabir Sahib, who alone can grant liberation.
Just like the Pandavas in Mahabharata, or Jesus Christ, pious souls without true Satguru often face tragic ends because they don’t know how to worship the real God.
5. The Real Purpose of Ashura – According to Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj
People today engage in processions, chest-beating, and fasting on Ashura. However, Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj says that these outward rituals cannot bring salvation. Instead, people must seek the evidence-based knowledge of God as revealed in all holy scriptures.
The real purpose of Ashura is to:
-
Remind humanity of the consequences of ignorance in worship
-
Inspire people to seek the true path of bhakti under the guidance of a Tatvdarshi Saint
-
Understand that emotional rituals cannot replace correct spiritual practice
6. Fasting on Ashura: Is It Enough?
According to many Hadiths, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) fasted on Ashura and encouraged Muslims to do so. Fasting is said to expiate sins of the previous year. But Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj explains:
“Good deeds like fasting, charity, or prayer do reduce sins, but they cannot eliminate karmic bondage or guarantee salvation. Only the true mantra (Satnaam and Saarnaam) given by a Complete Guru can destroy sins from root.”
Just like cleaning the floor daily without removing the source of dirt is useless, ritualistic worship is incomplete without true knowledge.
7. The Core Lesson from Imam Hussain’s Sacrifice
Imam Hussain did not surrender to tyranny. He chose death over submission to a corrupt ruler. But despite his nobility, he suffered a tragic end.
What is the message?
Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj explains:
“Even the grandson of Prophet Muhammad could not save himself because he lacked true spiritual knowledge. His sacrifice is not just a reason to mourn but to wake up and search for the correct path to God.”
The Supreme God is Kabir Sahib, who descended in Kashi and gave true knowledge. Worshiping Him through the method described in the holy scriptures under a Tatvdarshi Guru is the only way to attain protection, peace, and salvation.
8. How Should Muharram Be Observed in Light of True Knowledge?
According to Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, rather than just engaging in rituals and mourning:
-
Read the evidence-based spiritual books like “Gyan Ganga” and “Way of Living”
-
Watch the free Satsang on Sadhna TV at 7:30 pm daily
-
Take Naam Diksha (Initiation) from Jagatguru Tatvdarshi Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj
-
Follow scripture-based worship that can actually protect from tragedies
Just like Imam Hussain needed a Tatvdarshi Saint, people today must recognize who that true Saint is—and today, that is Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, who provides the real path of salvation backed by all holy scriptures (Quran, Gita, Bible, Guru Granth Sahib).
9. Global Relevance of Karbala Today
Karbala is not just an Islamic issue. It is a global lesson. Every time truth is overshadowed by falsehood, Karbala is repeated.
People all over the world suffer due to:
-
Blind faith
-
Worship of incomplete deities
-
Lack of understanding of scriptures
Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj is reviving the true spiritual science. His knowledge explains how to end the Karbala within—by conquering our inner ignorance and adopting true devotion.
10. What Does the Quran Say About True Worship?
Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj highlights important Quranic verses that show that true worship requires guidance:
-
Surah Al-Furqan 25:52 – “Strive against them with the Qur’an a great striving.”
-
Surah Ash-Shura 42:13 – “He has ordained for you the same religion which He enjoined upon Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus...”
-
Surah Al-Baqarah 2:256 – “Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from error...”
All of this points to one thing: One Supreme God – Kabir Sahib, and one correct way of worship, which can only be revealed by God Himself or His complete representative.
Conclusion: Muharram 2025 – A Call to Awakening
Muharram is more than just history. It is a mirror for humanity to look into. The blood of Imam Hussain (RA) cries out—not just for sympathy, but for spiritual awakening.
Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj is that divine guide in Kaliyug who explains why tragedies like Karbala happen and how to protect ourselves from such spiritual failures.
In Muharram 2025, don't just mourn—transform:
-
Question the rituals.
-
Seek knowledge.
-
Read “Gyan Ganga.”
-
Listen to true spiritual discourses.
-
Take initiation from Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj.
Only then can we ensure that the sacrifice of Imam Hussain (RA) is not in vain—and that we too do not fall victim to the traps of ignorance and false worship.
