Enjoying Sadhu Paksha

Aum Sivaya,

Today our monks end their lunar phase and enter into two days of retreat. They are currently in the middle of observing two weeks of Sadhu Paksha. This is our time between seasonal changes when our monks switch up their morning sadhana routine. Many of them walk the ground and meditate among the natural beauty into our sacred natural spaces which this slideshow depicts. Aum Namah Sivaya.

\"You cannot improve others or the world. Improve yourself.\" - Yogaswami

\"\"Be content within your own measure. If you over-reach yourself, you will have to suffer. You can hear the voice of God in everything and everyone.\"

\"The whole universe is peaceful and silent. There is peace and silence in the midst of noise\"

\"God speaks through flowers as well as through the tongues of men.\"

\"There is nothing wanting in us. Our only defect is the want of the realization of this truth.\"

\"Nothing is ever destroyed.\"

\"Holiness begins with the realization that you are the atma.\"

\"The world is by nature illusive. Yet God is incessantly and indefatigably at work all the time.\"

\"Live unshaken in the realization that \

all that I see is myself.\'\"'

\"It is. All activity and all sustenance is contained by It. The wind keeps blowing; leaves move and then cease to move as though tired out. Maya continues to be active. Truth, however, remains undiminished\"

\"Running water will run faster if you remove an obstruction here and there. You need not do much more.\"

\"There is order in the universe. The thief and the trouble-maker are part of this order.\"

\"What is in my heart is the same as what is in yours. That is what is everywhere\"

\"In you I see myself in another form.\" - Yogaswami
