Why do True Gurus remain hidden?

The world is not ready Yogananda said if all the power was given to a novice his body would burn up instantly. Even if a fraction of the power is given it would be misused. We are all emotional illogical greedy creatures! Thus only a fraction of the power is given only to those who …

Very few can give a direct perception of God This applies to blogs also. Websites. In order to have a direct perception – spiritual awakening an awakened …

Amazing !

I was watching a video on the what’s app college group. Someone had placed a video in which the “guru” told everyone to smile because they are alive. Being alive is the most precious thing! In contrast Jesus saw everyone as “dead”. He said let the “dead bury the dead” Yogananda explained it as being …

Real yoga basics

The real basics can only be learnt from a yogi.  What is written in texts and scriptures does not cover any of the basic experiences  They jumped a little hastily to super conscience experiences.  These experiences are so artfully written that ANYONE can claim they have it, or misguide themselves into believing they have it …

Biography

Most biographies are very poorly written.  Why ? Because the people who write it are clueless about the inner hardship and turmoils of the subject  I recently read the biography of yogi Harnath by Makrand Dave.  His book could not focus on the life of Harnath but was more focused on him, his own views …
