Rules of Worship to Be Followed Lifelong After Initiation
To walk the true spiritual path and attain salvation, one must adhere to specific rules of worship with utmost discipline and sincerity. These rules are based on the injunctions of holy scriptures and the guidance of a Tatvdarshi Saint. Violation of these rules may result in the loss of naam (mantra power), hindering one's progress on the path to liberation.
1. Complete Prohibition of Intoxicants and Non-Vegetarian Food
-
Strictly Avoid:
- Tobacco in all forms – cigarettes, hukkah, beedi, snuff, sulfa, etc.
- Alcohol – wine, beer, whiskey, or any fermented substance.
- Other intoxicants – opium, cannabis (bhang, ganja), charas, etc.
- Non-vegetarian food – meat, fish, eggs, etc.
-
Note: You must not even assist others in consuming or obtaining these items (e.g., buying, preparing, serving). Assisting in sin is equal to committing sin.
2. Discontinuation of Non-Scriptural Rituals and Fasts
- Fasting of any kind is prohibited.
- Pilgrimages (yatra), including visiting rivers (e.g., Ganga, Yamuna) for holy dips, are forbidden.
- Worshipping at temples or shrines believing that God resides there is prohibited.
- Visiting holy places out of devotion for any deity other than the Supreme God is not allowed.
⚰️ 3. Rituals Related to Death Are Prohibited
- Avoid all death-related rituals such as:
- Collecting ashes (asthi-visarjan)
- Pind-daan, terahvin, chhaHmahi, barsi rituals
- Ancestor worship (pitar-pujan)
- Tomb or grave worship
- Shraadh offerings and feasts
Why? These rituals are against scriptural commandments. The soul departs immediately after death based on karmic account. These practices serve no real spiritual purpose.
4. Worship of Other Deities Forbidden
- Worship of any other deities (including Brahma, Vishnu, Shiv, Durga, Ganesh, etc.) is not permitted.
- The only true worship is that of the Supreme God (Kabir Saheb) as per the mantras received from the Tatvdarshi Saint.
5. Avoid Consuming Food consumed/tasted by others
- Do not eat food consumed/tasted by a person who consumes meat or intoxicants.
6. Gambling, Betting, and Playing Cards Prohibited
- All forms of gambling, including card games, betting, or similar activities are sinful and strictly forbidden.
7. Avoid Vulgar Entertainment
- Refrain from:
- Dancing to or singing obscene songs.
- Participating in events promoting vulgarity or moral decline.
8. Rituals and Yagyas Without Guru's Permission Prohibited
- Performing any religious rituals (like havan, yagya, puja) at home without Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj’s permission is forbidden.
- Only those spiritual acts approved by the Guruji should be followed.
♂️ 9. Untouchability and Caste-Based Discrimination Prohibited
- All humans are children of one God.
- Discrimination based on caste, creed, gender, or religion is unholy and must be abandoned.
10. Giving or Taking Dowry Prohibited
- Dowry practices are social evils and strictly against the rules of worship.
11. Vastu Shastra and Astrology Forbidden
- Belief in and reliance on vastu, horoscopes, astrology, or gemstones for changing destiny is false and against the principles of true worship.
- One’s destiny changes only through true devotion and naam.
⚠️ Violation Warning
❗ Important: If any of these rules are violated, the power of the naam (initiation mantra) ceases, and spiritual benefits are lost. The worship becomes ineffective until sincere repentance and correction of the mistake.
