Body, Mind and Breath of the Ahymsin-self
13 January, 2018 @ 10:45 pm
Very good. I love that question. The body of an organization or a family or a nation is its structure; the mind is the degree of awareness of its mission; and the breath is the life you put into it. Then you can elaborate on that theme. The structure is the body. The awareness of its mission is the mind – and the mind of a thumb is not different from the mind of a nose in your body. A thumb doesn’t say, “Hey, I have a mind of my own. I’m not going to help you.” In the organization, in the family, that [unity of vision and purpose] happens. [There is] that mind – and then [there is] what you do with it out of compassion. The word “love” ceases, stops. If there is only one, who will love whom?

Yoga which unites everybody in silence and meditation now unites the people of China and people of India. Walking on the footsteps of all those great immortals to whom I have paid homage, I come to you to revive in you that tradition of discovering the inner serene silence through yoga. Yoga is not a system of physical movement. It is a system of silence and stillness from which the movement expresses itself. It is this yoga to which I invite you to enter within yourself.

Blessings for You from Swami Veda Bharati, Guru Purnima 2003

Please accept this small gift of the picture of a sculpture on the occasion of celebrating the Full Moon of the Guru for the current year. This particular sculpture of the 11th century is from the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. I have recently seen two other versions in the Musee Guimet in Paris. However, many spiritually live ones adorn places of honour in the temples of India.
Skill in Action

There is excessive ungentleness in the world, and display of pride and arrogance. We speak looking down upon the ‘lesser ones’, sometimes gently, but that also patronizingly.
Silent Prayer of the Heart
2 November, 2017 @ 3:49 pm
How can I write down words of prayer and teach? That is not prayer. Prayer is something you either have in you or you don't have in you. Who taught the first man to pray? In which school of literature did the writers of the psalms of David learn to compose poetry? Who critiqued their poems? Who edited them and said they were ready to publish? Who taught them? They had less of the world literature to draw upon historically at that time. Yet what came out of their hearts and their mouths became immortal literature because there was prayer in them. Indeed, prayers that have flowed out of them have been read by others to follow a model.

On Leaving the Body
16 June, 2017 @ 4:39 pm
Inspired by Bhishma, a practising yogi can come to terms with the mystery of death with a peaceful mind. We may also receive inspiration from other great ones, well known or less known, the manner of whose death can guide us.
What Is a Guru
5 June, 2017 @ 12:23 am
The word Guru is used in many, many different contexts in India. Nowadays anybody who teaches you anything is a Guruji. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, which as you know is the most important text of the yoga philosophy, which is the bible of the yogis, says that God is the Guru of even the most ancient ones, of the earliest one.
Meditation for Others’ Sake

I want to bring you back, away from what the urban industrial civilisation and its corporate structures and workplace requirements have done to your psychology and your reactions.
