Diwali Blessings from Pujya Swamiji

In celebration of this joyous Diwali occasion, one can see beautifully lit oil lamps and candles glowing in the darkness of night throughout India and wherever Indians have settled in the world.

Gaunts House Retreat – Building Your Relationship with the Divine and Yourself

Pujya Swamiji gives a special satsang in the UK as part of a summer countryside retreat. He discusses so beautifully how we can build our relationship with the Divine. So many people wherever he goes are looking for peace and happiness; even people who seem to have everything - money and power - want more and are still not happy. The mind, due to external desires, creates so much expectation within us, so we continuously look to keep filling the holes within us, yet we continue to feel empty. Pujya...

Centering our Mind on the Divine

Pujya Swamiji begins by sharing that which is priority for us is where the mind goes. He shares that most of the time we want from God, we don’t usually want only God.
