Sadhana to transform the mind

Christ lived two thousand years ago. Why do we still remember this day? Not because Christ was the founder of Christianity. Christianity was established in Rome, not in Bethlehem or Jerusalem. The founder of the organized Christian system was St Peter. The teaching of Christ, of Jesus, before the establishment of Christianity was very simple. If we are to express Christ’s teaching in the language of today, we would say, “Live for others, to alleviate

Discovering the link between consciousness and spirit

Therefore, in all the traditions of the past, the thinking that evolved was to see, to experience the relationship of the mind with the world and the expression of the mind in the world, and to transform this expression, this quality of mind, to realize the swabhava, the inner nature, the consciousness. Once consciousness is identified as the nature of creation, then the link is discovered. The essence is discovered within consciousness, and that essence

How should we control children, and how can we bring them to the right path?

Before you do that, you have to control yourself, and bring yourself to the right path. You have to be an example for your children. It is only through example and practical experience that you can instruct your children to develop their potential and creative nature. Preaching without practicing is no good. Merely teaching a child all about morality, telling him not to do something while continuing to do it yourself, will not help him

Jyoti Yoga

Today is Deepavali or Diwali, known as the festival of lights.

On awareness

In the absence of awareness yoga does not fructify in life. You can practise hatha yoga for forty years and you can practise meditation for forty years, but that is not yoga. There is a beautiful statement by Swami Sivananda. Somebody asked him, “Can I go to the caves and practise my meditation in isolation, in silence?” Swami Sivananda said, “It is not necessary, because once you go to the cave, you will be spending

Head, heart and hands.

Swami Satyananda always said that a human being has the faculties of head, heart and hands which are used day in and day out. If we deal with the awakening of one faculty only, the growth is lopsided. There should be a good combination of practices which can fulfil the need of head, heart and hands in order to uplift a person. It is appropriate for us all to take a sankalpa. Sankalpa means a

Navaratri chants

Saundarya Lahari, the thirty-two names of Durga and all the other Navaratri chants and practices are designed to awaken the human psyche. Just as there is a mental level, an emotional level, a pranic level and a physical level, so there is a vibratory level to our life as well. This vibratory level is the most subtle of the bodies and the only thing it responds to is frequency. Mantras create such frequencies in the

Navaratri

Navaratri is one of the most ancient methods of recognizing the force, the shakti, the power and wisdom of God. There has been much speculation about who or what God is. However, while everyone claims to speak the truth, very few can claim to see the truth. We all have a body but also inherent in the body is the force or shakti. Where does the strength come from when you have to win a

How should sadhana be developed?

There are four categories for the development of sadhana: 1. Define your intention: Sadhana is the attainment of excellence and perfection in everything that is done. It begins with involvement in constant, continuous awareness and focus. In the absence of awareness and focus, sadhana is not sadhana; it is only a waste of time. There has to be awareness of the present mood and clarity of intention as to what is to be achieved. First

A guide to sadhana in daily life

How can spiritual awareness be cultivated? To cultivate spiritual awareness, one must move from tamas to sattwa. This is the definition of spiritual awareness, of spiritual realization. Identify not with the changing and craving nature of the mind but with the pure, luminous and peaceful nature of the mind. The journey from tamas to sattwa is the spiritual journey. This is the essence; this is the secret of spiritual life. The process which takes one
