"It is You"

The One who has attained the enlightenment spiritually behaves basically in three ways first lives as a yogi remaining as a viewer (Sackchibhao)secondly preaches and loves as a saint and thirdly serves as a disciple.

A common human does all karmas either they are relating to spiritual practices or materials practices and keeps a motive for being in comfort, peace and happy living life.

While in course of spiritual practice he/she does Tirth (a Holy Pilgrimage), Puja, Rituals and other f

Be calm under all circumstances. Cultivate this virtue again and again through constant and
strenuous endeavour. Serenity is like a rock. Waves of irritation may dash on it, but cannot effect it.
Meditate on the ever tranquil Atman within, which is unchanging. You will attain calmness.
The Divine Light will descend on a calm mind only. An aspirant with a calm mind only can enter
into deep meditation and Nirvikalpa Samadhi.
Be sincere at heart. Care not for the perishable things. Care for the ever-la

Concentration is the only way to get rid of the worldly miseries and tribulations. Your only
duty is to practise concentration. You have taken this body to practise concentration and through
concentration to realise the Self.
When you read a book you must read it with concentration. There is no use of skipping over
the pages in a hurried manner. Read one page in the Gita. Close the book. Concentrate on what you
have read. Find out parallel lines in Mahabharata, Upanishads and Bhagavata. Compare and

Meditation is the Grand Trunk Road to attain Godhead. Without that no spiritual progress is
possible: Therefore, meditate. It will take you to the realm of Bhava Samadhi and make you drink
the honey of Prema and Nectar of Immortality.
Therefore, withdraw your mind from sensual objects. Fix it at the lotus feet of the Lord.
Merge in the Atman within. Practise silent meditation. Swim freely in the ocean of Atmic Bliss.
Float in the Divine joy. Tap the source. March directly towards the fountain-head o

Do not give a loose rein to the mind. Curb it ruthlessly. Annihilate it. You will soon cognise
the Truth and attain the final emancipation. All pains, sorrows and delusions will terminate.
Renounce all your sorrows, fears and anxieties, and walk in the path laid down by the
scriptures. Abandon the impure Vasanas, cultivate the pure Vasanas and practise regular meditation
on the pure, All-pervading Atman.
Meditate on the Lord who is an embodiment of Light, Peace, Bliss and Knowledge. Do not
waste the

Purify your heart and meditate. Dive deep into the innermost recess of the heart. You will
find the Atmic pearl. If you search in deep water only, you will find the pearl. If you keep only to the
shore, you will find broken shells only.
O friend! Wake up. Sleep no more. Meditate. It is Brahmamuhurta now! Open the gate of
the temple of the Lord in your heart with the key of love. Hear the music of the soul. Sing the song of
Prem your Beloved. Play the melody of the infinite. Melt your mind in His con

Discipline the mind and the senses. Cultivate noble virtues. Develop the four means. Hear
the Srutis. Reflect and meditate on Atman. This will result in Self-realisation.
Have no blind faith. Reason out carefully and then accept anything. Annihilate lust, anger
and greed. Share what you have—mental, physical and moral—with others. Take delight in serving
others. All your egoism and arrogance will disappear.
In the lamp of the heart put the oil of Vairagya. Insert the wick of devotion. Now kindle the

Do not grumble of bad environments. Create your own mental world and environments.
Build up your character properly. Establish virtuous healthy habits.
Understand the glow, splendour and power of the Self which is at the back of your mind,
thoughts, will and memory. Keep your body strong and healthy by regular exercise. Become a
spiritual hero.
Shut out the doors of the senses. Still the thoughts, emotions and feelings. Sit motionless
and calm in the early morning hours. Have a receptive attitude. Go

The practice of selfless service destroys sins and impurities and causes purity of
Antahkarana. Knowledge of Self dawns in a pure mind. Knowledge of Self is the only direct means
to freedom. Cooking is not possible without fire, so is emancipation without knowledge of the Self.
Knowledge certainly destroys ignorance as light destroys thickest darkness.
Be absorbed in your work. Give your full heart, mind and soul. Do not care for the results.
Do not think of success or failure. Do not think of the p

Within you is the hidden God. Within you is the immortal soul. Within you is the
inexhaustible spiritual treasure. Within you is the ocean of bliss.
Look within for the happiness which you have sought in vain in perishable sensual objects.
Rest peacefully in your own Atman.
Surrender everything unto Him. Place your ego at His feet and be at ease. He will take
complete charge of you. He will do everything for you. Practise. Feel. Assert. Enjoy the Supreme.
From "Light, Power and Wisdom" by Swami Sivan

Remove the veil of ignorance which is hiding your real Svarupa. Destroy egoism, the sense
of duality, sense of separateness. Your real nature is Satchidananda. You are identical with
Brahman. Never, never forget this.
Always protect yourself from evil influences. Do not allow the spiritual Samskaras to be
obliterated. It is difficult to regain what is lost in spirituality. Exercise Vichara, Viveka, always.
Utilise your will to resist evil influences.
Develop your will-power by driving desires, by Tit

God is your heart. He is in you and you are in Him. Search Him inside your heart. If you do
not find Him there, you will not find Him anywhere else.
This search after God is a question of supply and demand. If you really want God, if there is
a demand for God, then the supply will come at once.
Give up clinging to illusory life. Be fearless. Take refuge in Vairagya. All fears will die
away. Cling to the lotus feet of the Lord. Cling to the invisible, unseen Brahman. May the Almighty
Lord guide you in

The best medicine or panacea for all diseases and for keeping good health is Kirtan, Japa
and regular meditation. The Divine waves electrify, rejuvenate, vivify, energise the cells, tissues,
nerves, etc.
Another cheap but potent drug is to keep oneself always joyful and cheerful. Study Gita
daily one or two chapters with meaning. Keep yourself fully occupied, which is a remedy to keep
off thoughts of worldliness.

Work unselfishly with a disinterested spirit. Scrutinise your motives. Your motive should
be absolutely pure. Never care for fruits. But do not become a victim of sloth or inertia. Pour forth
all your energies in the service of humanity, country, etc. Plunge yourself into selfless service.
The manual work will become automatic, mechanical or instinctive. You will have two
minds. A portion of the mind will be in meditation and Japa. Repeat the name of the Lord while at
work also. Ashtavadhanis do eig

slumber of ignorance. Do not mix with undesirable persons. Take recourse to Sattvic company.

“The Complete Puja of Almighty

God ”

We know the importance of knowledge power in our daily life whether it is about divine spiritual or gross material and without power of knowledge nothing can be done successfully. In divine spiritual functions and attaining the power of knowledge from it one must keep very attentive while offering Puja to The Shivalinga because most of the people forget to offer their puja to Maa Devi Shakti who is also in the form of Bedi (Yoni/Nature/) therein whole Image of

Keep a balanced mind always. Be cheerful and happy. Drive the feelings of depression and
gloom at once by enquiry, singing Divine songs, prayers, chanting of Om, Pranayama, a brisk walk
in the open air and thinking of the opposite quality viz., the feeling of joy. You will be happy.
Apply yourself diligently to Yoga. Employ your skill and promptness. Kill the thoughts and
desires. Do not become a fatalist. Stand like a lion. Exert. Aspire. You will attain independence.
