🔷 Introduction
Ashura, a significant day in the Islamic calendar, holds profound historical and spiritual importance. It is observed on the 10th day of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic lunar year. While many recognize this day as a time of mourning for the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (the grandson of Prophet Muhammad), Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj has unveiled a much deeper, spiritual interpretation of Ashura, rooted in the ancient scriptures and true knowledge of God.
This article explores the true meaning of Ashura, its historical background, and the revelations by Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj that change our understanding of this sacred day.
🔷 What is Ashura?
Ashura is derived from the Arabic word Asharah, meaning "ten." Hence, Ashura is the 10th day of Muharram. This day has been marked by various events in Islamic and even pre-Islamic history.
Muslims around the world commemorate this day differently:
-
Sunni Muslims often fast on this day as a tradition of the Prophet Muhammad, who reportedly fasted on Ashura to honor the deliverance of Prophet Moses and the Israelites from Pharaoh.
-
Shia Muslims observe it as a day of mourning for the brutal martyrdom of Imam Hussain at the Battle of Karbala in 680 AD.
But is this all there is to Ashura? According to Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj, there is a hidden divine message behind Ashura that reveals the truth about correct worship and salvation.
🔷 Historical Significance of Ashura
➤ The Martyrdom of Imam Hussain
The tragedy of Karbala is at the center of Ashura observance. Imam Hussain, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad, stood against the tyrannical rule of Yazid, who demanded allegiance from him. Hussain refused to support a corrupt regime, choosing righteousness over submission. He, along with his family and companions, was surrounded, denied water, and ultimately martyred in Karbala, Iraq.
This event symbolizes the ultimate stand for justice, faith, and sacrifice in the face of oppression. However, mere mourning does not lead to salvation. The message is deeper.
🔷 The Real Message Behind Ashura – By Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj
Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj explains that while the historical events are important, the real purpose of remembering Ashura should be self-awakening and understanding true worship. Here are some divine insights from his discourses:
1. True Devotion Is Missing
Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj says that people remember Imam Hussain’s sacrifice but fail to adopt the path of true worship that leads to salvation. The scriptures never asked us to mourn, beat ourselves, or shed blood. Instead, they asked us to follow Satbhakti (True Devotion) as given by a Complete Saint.
"We remember Karbala, but ignore the God whom Hussain worshipped."
2. Suffering Due to Incorrect Worship
Despite deep reverence for Ashura, why are Muslims, especially in Shia-majority countries, still facing sorrow, wars, and suffering?
Because, according to Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj, people are not doing the worship that God accepts. The method of worship must match the one described in the holy scriptures — otherwise, it is fruitless.
Holy Quran, Surah Al-Furqan 25:52-55, indicates that worship of anyone besides Allah is false. But Saint Rampal Ji points out that Allah Kabir, the Supreme God, is above the current understanding.
3. Imam Hussain's Martyrdom Was Not for Rituals
Many followers today mark Ashura with chest-beating, flagellation, or processions. But did Imam Hussain die for these practices? Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj clarifies:
-
Imam Hussain gave his life not for rituals, but to protect righteousness.
-
True respect for him would be to adopt the same path of truth and devotion that he upheld — not blind rituals.
4. The Real Allah is Kabir Sahib
Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj reveals from scriptures including the Quran, Bible, Vedas, and Guru Granth Sahib that the Supreme God (Allah/Supreme Being) is Kabir Sahib, who resides in the eternal place called Satlok.
Ashura becomes meaningful when we understand the true form of Allah and engage in true worship as guided by the Tatvdarshi (Enlightened) Saint.
5. The Way to End Sorrow
Ashura reminds us of sorrow and loss. But what if we could eliminate sorrow altogether?
Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj assures that through Naam Diksha (Initiation) from a true Saint and by chanting Satnaam and Saarnaam, one can be free from sorrow, diseases, and even the cycle of birth and death.
🔷 Scriptural Evidence Supporting Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj's Teachings
-
Quran Sharif, Surah Al-Shu’ara 26:192–197: Describes that Allah gives His message through a "Ruh Al-Amin" (the most honest soul) — the complete Saint.
-
Quran Sharif, Surah Al-Furqan 25:59: Mentions the Creator as the One who made the entire universe in 6 days and then sat on His Throne — this aligns with the description of God Kabir.
Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj confirms with scriptural proof that Allah Kabir came Himself to the Earth in Kashi (Varanasi) and gave the message of salvation.
🔷 How Should Ashura Be Observed According to True Knowledge?
Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj advises:
✅ Do not mourn physically. Understand the spiritual significance.
✅ Stop engaging in rituals that are not prescribed in holy scriptures.
✅ Take Naam Diksha (Initiation) from a Tatvdarshi Saint.
✅ Follow the path of truth, non-violence, and inner devotion.
✅ Respect Imam Hussain’s sacrifice by living a righteous life.
🔷 Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj – The Enlightener of This Age
In today’s dark era of spiritual confusion, Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj has emerged as the true messenger of God, guiding humanity toward salvation. He is the only Saint who provides scripture-based evidence about:
-
Who is Supreme God?
-
What is the correct way of worship?
-
How to achieve liberation (moksha)?
His mission is to unite humanity under the umbrella of true spiritual knowledge, breaking the chains of superstition, ritualism, and blind faith.
🔷 Conclusion
Ashura is not just a day of mourning; it is a wake-up call. Imam Hussain’s sacrifice was for truth and righteousness, not for rituals or pain. Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj teaches that we must go beyond rituals and adopt true devotion to attain God’s mercy and eternal peace.
Let us not only remember the past but act wisely for our future. By taking refuge in the Complete Saint, as described in holy scriptures, we can ensure our soul's salvation.
