How to connect with Ourselves?

English, Hindi, Satsangs & Discourses, Videos
by Admin

Wishes and desires are innate human traits and Pujya Swamiji says there is nothing wrong in desiring something which fills us with happiness. However, he warns that desires that are limitless make us caged and imprisoned by our wanting. This eventually leads to frustration, sadness, and loss of peace. In such a situation, desire that was supposed to fill us eats us from inside, making us hollow, and we end up being victims of our own desires. Pujya Swamiji rightly says that Happiness without expectations is the real happiness and happens...

If Covid-19 has taught us nothing else, it has shown us how little we really need to survive. With lockdowns and shortages and faltering economies, we've learned to live with so much less than we may have ever dreamed was possible…. There once lived a king who was such a powerful king of such a large region that he had to travel quite a bit. Travel in those days was not as easy as it is today, and because it was so slow and difficult, he was frequently gone for long...

“Desires that impel us to remain unsatisfied”, The Times of India

Articles, English
by Admin

This article was published in The Times of India, here. By Swami Chidanand Saraswati Many years ago, before the severe violence in Jammu & Kashmir, we travelled to Kashmir to spend a few days meditating on the Dal Lake. All the members of our group enjoyed themselves so much that we delayed our departure date and remained there for one month instead of a few days as was planned earlier. Each week we would postpone our departure from that heavenly, pristine, glorious environment. “Just one more week,” the devotees would cry, so...

Because, just as heavy baggage weighs us down and prevents us from being fully present in the pilgrimage experience, in the same way our expectations and desires weigh us down, preventing us from going inward....
