Prashna: Madhuban, mini-Madhubans aur Mahamadhuban ka arth kya hai?
Uttar: Madhu mana mitha, sweet honey, ban mana vairagya. Jahan behad ki vairagya vriti hai or mithaas hai oos jagah ko Madhuban kahajata hai. Jahaan Madhusudan hota hai oosi jagaha ko Madhuban kahajata hai. Is paribhasha ke anusaar, jab tak Shiv pita Mt. Abu may Dada Lekhraj Brahma ke tan ke dwara mata kee bhoomika adaa kar rahey thay, tab tak Mt. Abu ka vah sthaan jahaan ShivBaba aur unkay bachhey rahtey thay, Madhuban kahlaataa tha. Kintu jabsey Brahma Baba nay 1969 may apnaa sharir chod diya hai tabsey vah keval naam maatra ko Madhuban hai. Jabsey 1976 may Shiv pita ke naye saakaar maanviya rath ki pratyakshataa hui hai, vah sthaan jahaan ShivBaba apney bachhon ke saath rahtey hain vah Madhuban kahlaata hai. Kintu, choonki BKs ki tulana may PBKs ka sangathan bahut chota hai isliye vay naye sthaan jahaan ShivBaba apney bachhon ke saath rahtey hain Mini Madhuban kahlaatey hain; jab BapDada bachhon ke sath Mount Abu ko Paramdham banayenge tab Mahamadhuban kaha jayega.
Prashna: Gita pathshala/Mini Madhuban kisey kaha jaata hai?
Uttar: Aisey kisi bhi sthaan/ghar ko Gitapathshala kaha ja sakta hai jahaan koi PBK yugal murliyon may dee gayi Shrimat ke anusaar gyaan maarg par chal rahey hain, mukhyataya yadi vay pavitrata ka paalan kar rahey hain, bhatti kar lee hai, doosron ko advance gyaan samjha saktey hain aur kam say kam Murli samajhney laayak thodi Hindi jaantey hon. Keval ek kamrey vaaley ghar may bhi gitapathshala kholi ja sakti hai.
Prashna: Kampil ko Shiv ke avataran ke liye Madhuban ke roop may kyon chuna gaya?
Uttar: Kampil ko 1976 say Madhuban ke roop may isliye chuna gaya hai kyonki 1969 ke baad Shiv ka naya rath usee sthaan ka nivaasi hai. 1969 say ShivBaba kay naye kaarya sthaan kay baarey may Sakar murliyon aur Avyakt vaniyon may pratyaksh aur apratyaksh ishaarey diye gaye hain. Kampil sthaan ka pauraanik mahatwa bhi hai. Yah maana jaata hai ki Pandavon ki patni Draupadi ka janma Paanchaal raajya ki rajdhani Kampil kay ek yagyakund say hua tha. Kampil may hee Pandavon nay lambey samay tak guptavaas kiya tha. Aur yah vahee sthaan hai jahaan Draupadi say unka vivaah hua tha. Sanyogvash, Mt. Abu ki tarah is chotey say gaon may doh praacheen Jain mandir (Digambar aur Shwetambar mandir) hain. Murli may bhi kahaa hai –
• "Jaise Farrukhabad waaley kahtey hain ham oos maalik ko Yaad kartey hain, parantu vaastav may vishwa ka wa srishti ka maalik toh Lakshmi-Narayan bantey hain. Niraakaar ShivBaba toh vishwa ka maalik bantey nahi." dt 14-1-73 / 12-1-78
• "Farrukhabad may sirf maalik ko maantey hain.....aise to nahi maalik say ham ko dukh mila hai. Yaad kartey hee hain unko sukh–shaanti kay liye." Mu 22-2-78
• "Itna oonch tay oonch Baap kaise chee-2 gaon may aatey hain. Bachhon ko bahut pyaar say samjhaatey hain." Mu 6-7-84
Prashna: Jahaan akeley PBKs anya aatmaon ko Ishwariya gyaan detey hain us sthaan ko kya kaha jaata hai?
Uttar: Avivaahit PBKs mini-Madhubans nahi khol saktey hain. Avivaahit purush PBKs apney ghar par purush PBKs ka sangathan aayojit kar saktey hain yadi unkay parivar ko koi aaptti na ho. Isee prakaar, aisi avivaahit mahila PBKs/ aisi vivaahit mahila PBKs, jinkay pati gyaan may nahi hain, apney ghar par sirf mahila PBKs ka sangathan aayojit kar sakti hain, bashartey ki unkay parivar ko koi aapatti na ho. Kintu yadi aisey classes ko niyamit roop say aayojit kiya jana ho toh Baba say anumati ya raay lee jaaye toh achha hoga. Aisey classes ko Gitapathshala nahi kaha jata hai. Gitapathshala keval PBK yugalon ke ghar par hee kholi ja sakti hai. Yadi kuch purush PBKs milkar Shrimat anusaar ek sthaan par rahtey hain toh usay Pandav Bhavan kaha ja sakta hai, Gitapathshala nahi.

Question: What is Madhuban, mini-Madhubans and Mahamadhuban?
Ans: 'Madhu' means sweet, sweet honey. 'ban' means detachment. Wherever there are vibrations of detachment in unlimited sense, that place is called Madhuban. The place where Madhusudan lives is called Madhuban. By this definition, until Father Shiv was playing the role of a mother through the body of Dada Lekhraj Brahma at Mt. Abut, the place at Mt. Abu where ShivBaba and his children were living was called Madhuban. But it has been a Madhuban only for name sake ever since Brahma Baba left his body in 1969. Ever since the revelation of the new corporeal human Chariot of Father Shiv in 1976, the place where ShivBaba lives along with his children is called Madhuban. But since the gathering of PBKs is very small when compared to the BKs of Mount Abu, the new places where ShivBaba lives along with His children are called Mini Madhubans; When BapDada along with the children, will transform Mount Abu into the Supreme abode, at that time it will be called as Mahamadhuban .
Question: What is a Gita pathshala/Mini Madhuban?
Ans: Any place/household can be called a Gitapathshala where a PBK couple is following the path of knowledge as per the Shrimat given in the Murlis, mainly if they are following purity, have undergone the bhatti, can explain the Advanced Knowledge to others, know at least some Hindi to understand the Murlis, etc. Gita pathshala can be set-up even in a one room house.
Question: Why was Kampil chosen as Madhuban for Shiva to come down?
Ans: Kampil is chosen as Madhuban since 1976 because the new Chariot of Shiv after 1969 hails from that place. Direct and indirect hints have been given in various Sakar Murlis and Avyakt Vanis aboout the new place of actions of ShivBaba since 1969. The place Kampil also has a mythological significance. It is believed that Draupadi, the wife of Pandavas was born from a Yagyakund at Kampil, the capital of Panchaal state. It was at Kampil only that the Pandavas spent a long time in incognito form. And it is at this place that they got married to Draupadi. Coincidentally, like Mount Abu there are two ancient Jain temples (Digambar and Shwetambar) in this tiny village. It is even said in the Murli :
• "Just as people of Farrukhabad say we remember that Master, but in reality it is Lakshmi & Narayan who become the masters of the world. Incorporeal ShivBaba does not become the master of the world." dt 14-1-73 / 12-1-78
• "In Farrukhabad people have faith only in the Master.....It is not that we have received sorrows from the master. He is remembered only for prosperity and peace." Mu 22-2-78
• "Such a highest Father comes in such a dirty village. He explains the children very affectionately." Mu 6-7-84
Question: What is the name given to the place where single PBKs give Godly knowledge to other souls?
Ans: Yes, unmarried PBKs cannot set up a mini-Madhubans. Unmarried male PBKs can organize a get together/gathering (sangathan) of male PBKs at their place if their family has no objection. Similarly, unmarried female PBKs/ married female PBKs whose husband in not in Gyan can organize a get together/gathering of only female PBKs at their place of residence if their family has no objection. But it would be always good to seek Baba's permission/opinion if such classes are to be organized on a regular basis.
Such classes are not called Gitapathshalas. Gitapathshalas can be set up only in the houses of PBK couples. If some single male PBKs have joined together to live at a place in accordance with Shrimat, it can be called Pandav Bhavan but not Gita pathshala.
