Gurudeva's Statement -- Attack on America
Dr. and Mrs. Bhagawandas P. Lathi came to Kauai Aadheenam today to visit Gurudeva and see the editorial offices of Hinduism Today. They came with their two grandsons, Rajesh and Arjun, while their son and daughter-in-law went on a tour of the island.
They are lifetime subscribers and avid supporters of Hinduism Today. During his visit with the editorial team Dr. Lathi expressed his concerns about what he referred to as the "misinformation and misconceptions" that are being propagated around the world by different "gurus" and he is happy that Hinduism Today is there to provide a truthful picture of things as they really are.

Gurudeva gave a wonderful talk in the temple today. He delivered a special message to all his devotees around the world.
Gurudeva focused on the following Sutra 190:
=========
Good Food For Good Health
Siva's devotees know that a good diet is the best medicine. They drink two liters of water daily, minimize fried foods and avoid junk foods, white rice, white flour, processed sugar and degraded oils. Aum Namah Sivaya.
=========
In the case of the above sutra, Gurudeva emphasized that the worldwide rise of diabetes and numerous other ills have been directly linked to processed food intake, and for the spiritual progress, physical health is a pre-requisite, so attention to a wholesome diet is simply the intelligent thing to do and it begins by eliminating the "poison" foods."
Rajesh Lathi is about 4 years old and his little brother Arjun is 2 years old. As always, little children love to be with Gurudeva.
Gurudeva talked to Dr. and Mrs. Lathi about the problem of child beating and expressed his concerns that the two little boys be raised without corporal punishment, with love and kindness.

Title: Necessity of Daily Meditation
Category: Meditation and Yoga
Duration: 1 min., 44 seconds
Date Given: July 15, 2001
Acharya Palaniswami: This question comes from Vatsala Devi, who also lives in Johor Bahru, Malaysia.
Vanakkam Gurudeva! My name is Vatsala and I am from Malaysia. Gurudeva, I just want to find out something from you about meditation. For meditation, do we have to do it every day or every week? Previously I was meditating once a week.Some of my friends said, "No. You have to do it every day." So now, I need some advise from you, Gurudeva, about meditation because I stopped doing it all together because of some family problems and I really do want to go deeply into the spiritual life. I hope to get a reply from Gurudeva. Thank you. Vatsala. Aum Namah Sivaya.
Gurudeva : Meditation is very necessary. It is a perfectly quiet time to yourself. Give yourself a time of the day, everyday same time, for your meditation.
There are many techniques that are outlined in the Master Course of 'Dancing, Living, and Merging with Siva' that you can use to solve family problems, within yourself. Detach yourself from them during your meditation and life in the home will improve.
In meditation, you are controlling your mind. In daily life, you either control your mind or if somebody upsets you, they are controlling your mind. You, as a pure soul, want to always be in charge, be the controller of the external mind. Daily meditation at the same time each day will lead to the accomplishment of this.

Innersearch postponed
Due to the horrific tragedies of September 11th, Himalayan Academy has indefinitely postponed the Canadian Innersearch scheduled to leave next July. Please be assured, we will re-schedule the Innersearch, but only when the present insecurity around the world settles down. Until then, if you are planning to go on a future Innersearch program with Gurudeva, continue to set aside a little income each month in a special fund. |
