“To the Hindu the ground is sacred. The rivers are sacred. The sky is sacred. The sun is sacred. His wife is a Goddess. Her husband is a God. Their children are devas. Their home is a shrine.” – Gurudeva
“We should be uplifting to our fellow man, not critical or injurious. We should be loving and kind, not hateful or mean.” – Gurudeva
“The true Self is only realized when you gain a subconscious control over your mind by ceasing to react to your experiences so that you can concentrate your mind fully, experience first meditation and contemplation, then samadhi, or Self Realization.” -Gurudeva
“The stronger you are in your nature, the more you can bring through your real nature; the more you can enjoy the bliss of your true being. It is well worth working for. It is well worth craving for.” – Gurudeva
Today marks the end of our current lunar phase. The next two days will be retreat days for the monks. it also marks the end of our Sadhu Paksha observances. Several days from now we will enter our new season, the Moksha Ritau.
“It is the interplay between our experience and how we respond to it that makes karma devastating or helpfully invigorating.” – Gurudeva
