Where is Happiness Found
6 October, 2022 @ 3:20 pm
So where does happiness come from? Swami Rama says, "It is impossible to attain happiness in the external world, for happiness is only found deep in the innermost chamber of one's being. The Self is the center of happiness. Those who are realized are always filled with the happiness of the Self, and they alone find real peace in their hearts" (Perennial Psychology of the Bhagavad Gita, Pp. 219-220). Meditation is the path to find that center of happiness within.
Guru Purnima 2022
8 September, 2022 @ 12:52 pm
It is with great relief and observance that the sadhakas of Ahymsin group of Quatre Bornes, Mauritius celebrated Guru Purnima on 13 July 2022. On that auspicious day, we performed the Vedic Yajna and paid homage to our great master, Swami Rama, to Swami Veda Bharati and to all the spiritual masters of the lineage -- the Guru Parampara. Under the guidance of our spiritual teacher, our beloved Bahenji Sarojini, we did the Yajna which culminated in chanting Akhandamandalākāram-mantras and 108 Ganesha Gayatri chanting with fire offerings. While doing the fire offerings with “Svaha” we are reminded of the fact that “this is not mine – it is thine!” By this way of surrendering our entire ego and our individuality, thus purifying our buddhi (upper mind), we pave the way to know the true nature of our being. The guidance of the Gurus is easing the way to connect with our inner Guru. We are always indebted towards our Gurus and we bow in reverence to the Gurudevas -- Tasmay Shri Guruwe Namaha.

What is Death?

"Those who wait for death to release them from their circumstances are merely fantasizing about something that never occurs. They should instead devote their energies to accomplishing their task on this earth." - Swami Rama; in Perennial Psychology of the Bhagavad Gita, pg. 210.

Many of us eat on the run or simply eat what is convenient. Others try various diet plans with varying results only to go back to our old habits.
