Pujya Niruma (Dr. Niruben Amin)
Written by Dada Bhagwan
Dr. Niruben Amin, lovingly addressed as 'Niruma', was a prominent disciple of the Gnani Purush Ambalal Patel also known as Param Pujya 'Dada Bhagwan' or 'Dadashri'. Under His guidance, she too became an accomplished spiritual master who carried on His work of introducing people to the phenomenal science of Akram Vignan. Through selfless service, she has been instrumental in liberating thousands of people worldwide by gracing them with satsangs and Self-realization.
Pre-Gnan - Life before meeting Param Pujya Dadashri
Dr. Niruben Amin, lovingly referred to as 'Pujya Niruma', was born on December 2, 1944, in Aurangabad, India to a wealthy family. Showered with love and attention, Pujya Niruma was the youngest sibling to five elder brothers. From a very young age, Pujya Niruma knew she wanted to be a doctor serving mankind. She acquired her basic schooling in Mumbai and graduated with a medical degree from Aurangabad Medical College.
Whilst in her final year at college, her brother told her about Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, who could give Self-realization, and told her that this knowledge was so powerful that no worldly troubles or worries would touch her. This process would take just two hours through a unique science of the Soul (Atma; the Self) called Akram Vignan. This was the first time Pujya Niruma ever heard the word 'Atma' (Soul).
On June 29, 1968, Pujya Niruma met Param Pujya Dadashri for the first time in Vadodara. Instantly upon seeing him, she felt as if she had known him for many past lives and was now being reunited with him. At that time, a strong desire arose within her, 'How wonderful would it be if I could serve Param Pujya Dadashri until my final breath!' At this first meeting, in her heart, she completely surrendered herself to the Gnani.

About the Author
Ambalal M. Patel was a civil contractor by profession. In June 1958, spontaneous Self-Realization occurred withi
Ambalal M. Patel. From this point on, Ambalal became a Gnani Purush, and the Lord that manifested within him became known as Dada Bhagwan. A Gnani Purush is One who has realized the Self and is able to help others do the same. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan used to go from town to town and country-to-country to give satsang (spiritual discourse) and impart the knowledge of the Self, as well as knowledge of harmonious worldly interactions to everyone who came to meet him. This spiritual science, known as Akram Vignan, is the step-less path to Self-realization.

How common is self-love, what happens without it, and how does it relate to self-esteem?
Self-love is very essential in boosting our self-esteem.

He never feels satisfied even after receiving love from people. His hunger for love never ceases, and hence he demands more and more attention from others. As a result, his relationships are ruined and he always lives in misery.rn rnSo,

Who is a True Guru? How to choose a Spiritual Guru?
Grave danger in uprooting a Guru Do not accept a known guru as guru, and if you do, then do not turn your back on him. Use a pot if you do not like him. The pot will not have any problems. Worship it because your buddhi (intellect) will not be active there and your work will get done. Now who would be so careful that he would not allow his intellect to interfere? How can one understand all this? Questioner: At the time we make someone our guru, he appears to be very good, he

How can I balance material responsibilities with spiritual goals?
The spiritual science of Akram Vignan helps us find the balance between taking care of our material responsibilities and pursuing our spiritual goals, very easily, as this spiritual science works alongside our material obligations. In Akram Vignan, the fundamental change starts internally when the ignorance of the Self is completely removed through the grace of the Enlightened Being (Gnani Purush).

What is the importance of Living Guru?
Questioner: If we surrender to the great souls that lived thousands of years ago, can that be considered surrender? Can we make any progress through such surrender or do we need to surrender to a living great man? Dadashri: You can progress even through Paroksha (indirectly- one not currently living). However if you find such a living (Pratyaksh) person, then your liberation will be instant. The indirect approach will give you the benefit of progress but there is no liberatio
