Having More and Being More

Pujya Swamiji teaches us about how we can be more than the baggage we hold in our lives. He says that people might buy material goods aiming to have more to fill the emptiness in their lives, but that never works. Having more isn't necessarily bad, but he encourages us to enjoy life. He encourages us to please God by realizing that it’s not you, but others who should be served. He also encourages us not to fall victim to desires that we lose peace and happiness. The truth of...

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. He shares when we want only God then God is there. It’s our desires, our expectations, our ego etc that become priority and occupy our mind. He says that wanting from God is not wrong or bad but wanting anything else but God is futile and transient in nature. He encourages us to introspect every night and explore...

Sleep and Samadhi

Pujya Swamiji shares so beautifully that which we do, we see, we have, we experience, etc is not who you are. He shares even in sleep when we wake up there is a something that tells us that was a great sleep or that was a disrupted sleep, He encourages us to inquire who that person is who experiences the sleep. He explains to merge and identify with that knowing, that witness is samadhi. He explains then what keeps us from being in samadhi if that light is in all of...

True Meaning of Liberation and Freedom

Pujya Swamiji shares, "Liberation does not come in another life but can happen now. What are we truly seeking to be free from? It cannot be that somehow we are stuck here in this physical birth and now have to be free from it. These artificial borders and boundaries amongst us and God that we have created are made by us, not by God. God has given the veto power to all of us. So what gets stuck? The senses get stuck because of mind. The mind also gets stuck...

Meditation: Multivitamin For Spiritual Health

This article was published in The Speaking Tree, here. In order to maintain inner peace, calm and stability regardless of external circumstances, we need a daily multivitamin of meditation, no reaction and introspection. Meditation is the best medication for all agitations. People have so many troubles today, mainly related to the stress in their lives. To address this anxiety, sleeplessness and discontent, people take pills and fill their lives with excessive, material “pleasures”. For example, when people feel stressed they frequently attempt to forget about it by going to the movies,...

Make God your Centre

Pujya Swamiji reminds us that the true path to happiness is to make God the centre of our life. We might run in circles to look for happiness through movies, holidays or alcohol, but the only way to achieve pure happiness is through God. He also reminds us to keep God in the centre of our lives and not to forget about Him after going to the temple. We are the key to our own happiness and it is our decision what the priority is from our life....
