Deep in my heart, for a long time, I have wanted to touch and hug my Gurudev. He is everything for me. Yesterday, I my wish was fulfilled. I spent a lot of time with Gurudev, hugging him, giving him a kiss and bowing repeatedly at his feet. I told Gurudev, my spritual progress was good. …

Mohangiriji Maharaja
“I came out of Samadhi for you” Those were the words ringing in my ears when I woke up from Savikalpa Samadhi. I was bowing down before Kashinathdada and Gurudevs Samadhi with thoughts of dismay that the great souls like Mohangiriji Maharaja have their personal success but dont even turn back to help others. With …

More clarifications
These clarifications are from Yogananda Maharaj and some from personal experience. There are three worlds. Gross physical world, the subtle world and the causal or karana world. The three forces, a sort of autonomic intelligence, hidden from the human eye are Virata, Hiranyagarbha and Ishwara respectively. To give an eg. the function of Virata is …

Meditation
Today’s meditation was exceptionally good. After all it was Christmas ! Yogananda maharaja has described that the halfway meditation is when one is at agnachakra the streams of prana are seen rolling back from the body going back to Agnatha chakra This is what I experienced. The color if the streams of Prana or light …

Fishbowl
After 2 days of struggle, I was finally able to go back to my true consciousness. When certain karmas are about to come into play, or if one does something that is not appropriate, the first thing that happens is the consciousness gets clouded and one is no longer able to go that deep. Yes, …

Vice and Virtue
Virtue is a problem to liberation just as much vice is. One must rise above both. There is a story in the Bible about Abraham who was given instructions by God to take his son to the top of Mount Sinai and sacrifice his son. Just before he was about to sacrifice his son, God …

Paramhansa Yogananda has a series of lectures and pamphletes which are available to all who take the SRF fellowship and newsletter. In the lessons, he talks about energizing exercises and also insits that all disciples practice it for 30 min to an hour a day. I could not understand the reason and thought it was …

Faith
Today, I had a discussion with Aanal about Faith. Faith in my opinion and also according to the scriptures and very succinctly written by Sri Aurobindo is something that is within and which is part of the soul. This is an inner conviction. Unfortunately, this faith is very poorly understood. What most people have is …

Pearls
I was asked, do you go to Church. My answer was no, the Church comes to me. The real church is where there is love for God. What is purity or a pure person? A person who only has love and desires only for God, is pure. Everyone else is impure. Love demands nothing in …

A beacon!
Every human being is a beacon! They are constantly emiting and transmiting vibes which attracts the universal vibrations which translate into karam. This has been said by Patanjali, Mirdad and all great souls. Every thought we have becomes a nidus which attracts similar universal vibrations. One should constantly, no matter what and no matter what …

Nada
A common misconception is the hearing of Nada. The truest of true nada occurs when the prana actually ascends in the sushumna. These nadas have the following characteristics 1) Extremely soft, no longer heard by the physical body 2) Extremely pleasing and one truly just wants to hear it again and again 3) On hearing …

Law of Miracles – a borrowed title from Paramhansa Yogananda
Ever since the mental aspect of the subconscious has cleared, the shakti is now working on the vital physical of the subconscient. Unless you are very familiar with the terminology of Sri Aurobindo, it will sound like mumbo jumbo. What is becoming clear is the law or control over Prana. How it can be achieved. …
