Guru Purnima is a day that reminds one that the purpose of life is to attain knowledge which dispels the darkness of ignorance. The word "guru" is a pious and holy word which means the source of knowledge. There is only one life force so there is only one guru. Deep within the centre of our being resides the guru.
God is in You/Me

It is easy to believe in God, and to believe in God is definitely better than not believing, however, that is only half way. It is something great when you come to know that:
Path of Love

Bhakti yoga is known as the path of love and devotion. It is the path of self-surrender and dedication of all one’s resources to attain the ultimate Reality. In this path, love becomes the Lord of life and motivates the whole being toward Divinity alone. The path of bhakti yoga is the path of love. This sounds so exciting to modern young people, that many want to follow this path, but only a few know what it really is. Many think that performing rituals and becoming fanatical makes one a follower of this path, and they also that that it is the easiest to follow.

Cultivating Sankalpa Shakti
12 February, 2022 @ 10:00 am
When you have developed a still posture and when you have done the breathing practices, you have made the first preparations for the technique of meditation. Next, you have to deal with your conscious mind. The moment you start meditating, the mind becomes very independent. The whole mind will come forward to fight with you. You also want to eventually come in touch with the unconscious. Psychologists have not yet found a way of taming the unconscious, of knowing its vast reservoir, of tapping the unconscious, the source of the infinite library within you.
Surrender

With palms together, I pray to Thee, Oh Lord, grant these kind blessings to me: To be with the sages, their darshan to enjoy, And to have a pure heart filled with love and joy.
Meditative Posture

The requirements for a good meditation posture are that it be still, steady, relaxed, and comfortable. If the body moves, sways, twitches, or aches, it will distract you from meditation. Some people have the misconception that to meditate, you must sit in a complicated, cross-legged position called the Lotus Pose. Fortunately, this is not accurate. There is only one important prerequisite for a good meditation posture – it must allow you to keep the head, neck, and trunk of the body aligned so that you can breathe freely and diaphragmatically.
Living In Love
13 November, 2021 @ 3:06 pm
I don't understand how you can live without loving people. If you cannot love one person, how can you love the whole universe? And if you cannot love the universe, then what is the use of talking about divinity? The important part of your behavior is how loving you are.
To the Mother

I sing my songs by myself. I find need for no one to sing them for me. My songs are filled with delights; they are never empty or vacant. They are hymns of the Mother Divine. She is the beloved Mother of all.
Examine your Fears

You should learn to examine your fears. Why are you committing the mistake of not examining your fears? Learn to examine your fears. Why think negatively all the time? Do you know what happens, what you are doing to yourself? Fear invites danger, remember this. Don’t put yourself in danger.
