I used to cry a lot!
When I was 12 years old I started daily prayers. I had my yagnopavit done at age of 8. Now when you get yagnopavit you are told to do 3 Gayatri mala a day ( 108 x 3). Initially I did it but then fell off. But in 8 grade I started doing it again. …

Words of Babaji
The Kriya Yoga which I am giving to the world through you in this nineteenth century,” Babaji told Lahiri Mahasaya, “is a revival of the same science which Krishna gave, millenniums ago, to Arjuna, and which was later known to Patanjali, and to Christ, St. John, St. Paul, and other disciples.” . . . “Give …

How words betray you!
Here is an incorrect understanding. His words betrayed his level of experience Your inner peace or happiness depends exclusively on how you train your brain with your mind. Brain is an organ, mind is consciousness. With daily meditation and practice of mindfulness, japa and worship, the energy centres (chakras) slowly balance and align with higher …

The converse is true
Your true personality begins to develop when you are able, by deep intuition, to feel that you are not this solid body but are the divine eternal current of Life and Consciousness within the body. Paramahansa Yogananda “Man’s Eternal Quest” So this is a sign of progress. A true first step. Until then we are …

Negativity versus Positive attitude :Difficult but very successful
The greatest thing you can do to cultivate true wisdom is to practice the consciousness of the world as a dream. If failure comes, say: “It is a dream.” Then shut off the thought of failure from your mind. In the midst of negative conditions, practice “opposition” by thinking and acting in a positive, constructive …

How to quiet the mind?
A very common problem. Universal. We can focus the mind with ease on tasks related to worldly activity. But tell the mind to stop thinking, start to see the divine, love God, etc and it a Herculean task Maha yoga vigyan and paramhansa Yogananda talk about it very clearly My blogs have said it clearly. …

Information versus experience
The reason that God remains unknown to millions who worship Him in temples and churches, and in holy cities and places of pilgrimage, is that the physical instruments of knowledge can apprehend only the products of the Creator; Divinity Itself is perceived by the supramental faculty of intuition, the soul’s God-given power of knowing truth. …

Perfect Guru disciple relation
In the spiritually receptive, loyalty to the guru rises spontaneously when the disciple’s heart is bathed in the aura of the guru’s unconditional love. The soul knows that it has found at last a true friend, counselor, and guide. The disciple strives therefore to reciprocate the guru’s unconditional love, especially when tested, even as the …

Miscellaneous thoughts
In order to stay in meditation for longer durations, one has to learn the technique of turning the heart off. Somewhere, I have described this technique in previous blogs as Yogananda Maharaja explained it to me about 4 years ago. It takes a long time to reach that stage. However, right before this stage is …

Guidelines for Yoga / Rules of Yoga
I changed the name from rules to guidelines. The reason for calling it rules, is because in my opinion, doing yoga is like going into battle where one is constantly battling ones sanskaras. In other words, in order to win this battle, certain rules must be followed. If one reads any scriptures regarding Yoga and …

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, …

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

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. …

Name of God and other miscellaneous experiences
Today, we were reciting Sunderkanda. Now, in the version of Sunderkanda as recited by Ashwin Pathak, in some of the shlokas he follows it by Shree Rama Sharnam mama. However, he speaks Ramaa instead of the traditional Rama without an aa at the end of m. The normal and real pronounciation is M with an …

Gurudev
I have always been very curious of what and how Gurudev helped Mataji at the time of her demise. A book was written by Dahyabhai Patel when Mataji passed away. Gurudev was disgusted with the book and he threw the book away. The reason for his disgust was because the book had absolutely no information …

More ideas on meditation
There is a state in meditation when the sounds you hear disappear ! People generally think meditation is concentration or focusing your mind on something. This is one method of yoga but it is a slow process. The mind cannot reach the divine. The soul, which is a ray of the divine can. The soul …
