The Search for Eternal Truth
6 March, 2016 @ 12:45 am
"Who am I?" Have you ever asked yourself that question? I started asking myself this question since Kindergarten. "Why is my name Amy? Why can't I be called Coco, Candy or Round, or Square? Why can't I see myself? Why can I see everyone else but only able to see my reflection in the mirror? What would I do after I die? Where should I go?” These are the questions I ask myself in those sleepless nights of my childhood, as I gaze into the darkness.
Love
6 March, 2016 @ 12:42 am
Love is radiance, love is the perfume of your self-knowledge, love is the essence of your existence. Love is a state of consciousness. Love only GIVES, demands nothing. Love is flooding LIGHT into darkness. Love is overflowing joy. Love is born when you have glimpsed who you are. And then there is nothing left than to share your existance with others. Love is when you realise you are not anything else but Existence itself. If there is true love in you, you feel organic unity with all existence. Love is the manifestation of blessing.
Coming Home
6 March, 2016 @ 12:40 am
As my taxi neared Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama, known as SRSG, the spiritual center that my meditation teacher, Swami Veda Bharati, built, I felt increasingly apprehensive. I was involved with this place from before it was built. I was at one of the initial planning meetings. Over the years, I’ve spent many months here engaged in spiritual practice. This was the first time I’d visited SRSG since Swami Veda left his body last July. “How will it be without him there? Will I feel terrible?” These thoughts troubled me as we drove the last short distance before entering the gates of SRSG.
Dr. Mohan Swami´s Address to the Sangha
6 March, 2016 @ 12:36 am
Good evening. Thank you very much for the introduction. I’m quite averse to this kind of situation where I’m pushed to the front, and asked to make speeches – especially after somebody makes a lengthy introduction like this. Thank you anyway.

The Yoga of the Netra Tantra, 20th – 27th October 2016
31 December, 2015 @ 5:46 am
The Netra Tantra is one of the authoritative scriptures of non-dualist Kashmir Shaivism (dated not later than 700 AD) with important sections on Yoga. It is the only Tantra on the third Eye of Shiva, and it is also called Mrityujit or Mrityunjaya, “the Overcomer of Death”, relating to the form of Shiva revealed in it and to his mantra. The commentary by Ksemaraja (early 11th century) is an important help in understanding this profound text and its practice.
Finding a True Teacher
6 December, 2015 @ 12:53 am
One of my University professors used a lot of words I didn’t understand in his lectures, and I constantly had to look them up. I imagined he used those words to show off, and I didn’t like having to go to the dictionary so much. Because of this, I thought he was a bad teacher. But, looking back, I believe I was mistaken in my assessment of him. His job as a professor was to get me to learn, and he did. I learned a lot of words I didn’t previously know; words I still know and use. And he motivated me to use the dictionary.
Teacher Training Retreat, 13th – 26th March 2016
13 November, 2015 @ 4:30 pm
"We teach out of compassion. We teach because the world suffers and our teaching will reduce that suffering. We teach because we have received that compassion and want to share it with others who suffer. The cause of suffering, in the Yoga-sutras, is ignorance. Our teaching reduces the level of that ignorance. The student arrives because s/he is seeking help - our desire to teach arises directly out of our compassion for the student.”
Life Experience and Bliss
6 November, 2015 @ 1:17 am
Every one’s life is extra-ordinary and unique for what we cross as experiences reveal themselves after only some introspection and understanding of the meaning of life itself. It takes time, sometimes a lifespan, to accept what had brought us into such a life so rough, so difficult, so heavy and unable to comprehend why this had happened to us, till the day when suddenly, all becomes clear, logical, rich and we become able to laugh at ourselves about the Divine plan and His project about our growing up. Whatever struggle is a necessity, whatever pain is our release towards liberation. Usually, one experience after another one brings some clarity.
