Paramguru Shrimat Karunāsāgar Mahārāj is known by several identities. He is known as a ‘Kaival Vettā’ (meaning: He knows everything about Kaival Kartā). He is the Param Vishesh Ansha of Kaival Kartā (meaning: the most divine part of Kartā). Kartā sent Paramguru into the universe to give everyone the true and pure GNYĀN (knowledge) about Kaival Kartā and our universe. He teaches us that Kaival Kartā is THE one and only universal GOD. Paramguru traveled through various loks (worlds, galaxies, and planets) and the 6 dvips before he came to the 7th dvip (Jambu Dvip), which is our world with this knowledge. After leaving Jambu Dvip he went straight to Kaival Dhām back to Kartā.
As Kartā was giving Paramguru the directive to come into the universe to spread Kartā’s knowledge, Kartā said, “Kuver!” ‘Ku’ means why and ‘Ver’ means wait. “Why wait, go now!” Without a second’s thought, Paramguru left the unparalleled and indescribable bliss of Kartā’s abode to fulfill this directive.
Paramguru embodied a physical form that would transcend all time and space boundaries AND would make Him visible to other physical beings, like humans. This form is known as ‘Divya Deh’ (divine form) and was made especially and only for Paramguru. This ‘Divya Deh’ has 18 ‘chinho’ (special markings) that symbolize 18 pious characteris. No other entity has or could ever have such a form. Furthermore, Kartā blessed Paramguru with all 16 vibhuti (powers), 9 nidhi (intellectual wealth), 8 siddhi (special abilities), and all other true and pure qualities and characteristics.
Paramguru’s ‘Divya Deh’ along with His powers and abilities allowed Him to move from lok to lok and from dvip to dvip with the simple act of appearance. He never had to take birth through a mother’s womb, He was always ‘pragat’. Paramguru illuminated every lok and dvip with His knowledge and divine actions as He helped countless devotees, saints, and humans. He has the unique ability to help anyone at any time in any place. Paramguru has composed 15 granths (religious scriptures) and has blessed His two main ‘shishya’ (students) to compose 3 granths as well. In the Aghādh Bodh Granth, Paramguru says, “Whoever reads all my granths, will have no question or doubts remaining in their minds or hearts.”
