Ram Navami Blessings: The Message of Bhagwan Rama’s Life

Articles, Blessings, English
by Admin

On Ram Navami we celebrate the divine time when Bhagwan Vishnu manifested on Earth in the form of Bhagwan Rama. The Ramayana gives us the message of Bhagwan Rama’s life and teachings. The word “Rama” literally means one who is divinely blissful and who gives joy to others, and one in whom the sages rejoice. As the founder of the nation, Mahatma Gandhiji, collapsed to his death after having been viciously shot, he had no words of vengeance or anger for his murderers. Rather, the only words which escaped his lips...

When Egos Clash

Articles, English
by Admin

This article was published on The Speaking Tree, here. A complaint I often hear is, “We always fight over little things. Everything is an argument.” This is a matter of ego. Somewhere along the way, both husband and wife have decided that they know best and that they will have it “my way.” This gets nobody anywhere. Our own ego thinks that we are always right, that everyone around us should do things the way we say. Couples often begin to quarrel over trivial issues, which then escalates into a full-blown...

How to Live Life Consciously at Golden Bridge in Santa Monica (Part 2)

English, Satsangs & Discourses, Videos
by Admin

Pujya Swamiji and Sadhviji discuss how to live life in a more conscious way. When we live consciously, we then live mindfully. In that mindful living, there is no fear. In this world of ours a lot of things are going on, but we should not forget that spirituality is not only here for practices such as meditation, it is also to provide us with inner peace and we all have it in us. That peace is so important because if we are in peace, then we will manifest peace...

How to Live Life Consciously at Golden Bridge in Santa Monica (Part 1)

English, Satsangs & Discourses, Videos
by Admin

Pujya Swamiji and Sadhviji advise us how to live in the truth of who we are. In Indian culture they say that the core of who you are is pure, perfect and divine. Yet most of us don’t live like, we suffer. This is due to the ignorance- that is due to forgetting who we are and our identification with the body. Pujya Swamiji also reminds us of how we as individuals, by the power of our thoughts and mantras, can make a difference in the world. Remember you spread...

Having More and Being More

English, Satsangs & Discourses, Videos
by Admin

Pujya Swamiji teaches us about how we can be more than the baggage we hold in our lives.

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...
