Spiritual and Material Love

Image
Photo Credit: Pinterest Spiritual and Material Love Love is the most powerful force in existence, yet it manifests in two distinct forms - material and spiritual. Material love is often based on conditions, expectations, and attachments. It seeks fulfilment through relationships, achievements, and possessions. While it can bring joy, it is also vulnerable to change, loss, and disappointment. Spiritual love, on the other hand, is unconditional, expansive, and rooted in the soul’s connection to the divine. In Himalayan Samarpan Dhyanyog, taught by Satguru Shivkrupanand Swamiji, seekers are gently guided from the realm of material love toward the depth of spiritual love. This transition is not about rejecting worldly relationships, but about transforming the way we relate to them. Material love says, “I love you because you make me happy.” Spiritual love says, “I love you because I recognise Paramatma in you.” Material love often binds us. We cling to people, outcomes, and emotions, feari...

Inner Journey and Total Silence Within

  Photo Credit: Hidden Mantra Inner Journey and Total Silence Within In the rush of our daily life, when traffic, deadlines, and endless notifications keep knocking at the door of our attention, the soul sits patiently for that pause which never seems to come. When it does, this pause is not merely a break from routine; it is a doorway to the inner journey, the sacred pilgrimage towards total silence within. Many sadhaks have found this path lit by the grace of Himalayan Samarpan Dhyanyog, guided by the loving presence of Shree Shivkrupanand Swamiji, who keeps reminding us that true peace is not elsewhere - it is already sitting in our own heart, waiting to be noticed. When we sit for dhyan with a simple intention to unconditionally surrender, something subtle begins to shift. The restless monkey mind hopping from branch to branch, starts tasting the sweetness of stillness. In Himalayan Samarpan Dhyanyog, we are taught to offer our thoughts, desires, and worries at the feet of ...

Self-Retreat for Discovering the Self

Image
  Photo Credit: LonerWolf Self-Retreat for Discovering the Self Our daily life is filled with noise – both in the mind and in the material world, in the midst of both the internal and external noise the soul often whispers but is rarely heard. We chase goals, fulfill duties, and navigate relationships, yet something within remains untouched, unseen. The Himalayan Samarpan Dhyanyog tradition gently reminds us that to truly discover the self, one must retreat through meditation - not to escape the world, but to return to the essence within. A self-retreat is not about isolation; it is about immersion. It is a conscious pause, a sacred space where the seeker turns inward. In Samarpan Dhyanyog, this retreat is not defined by location but by intention. Whether in the Himalayas or in a quiet corner of one’s home, the retreat begins when the mind chooses silence and the heart chooses total, unconditional surrender towards the Master. Shivkrupanand Swami, the guiding light of Samarpa...

When you are Ready, the Guru Finds you

  Photo Credit: Hidden Mantra When you are Ready, the Guru Finds you In the vast silence of the Himalayas, where the winds carry whispers of ancient truths, a timeless principle echoes: when the disciple is ready, the Guru finds them. This is not a poetic metaphor - it is a living reality in the path of Himalayan Samarpan Dhyanyog. Taught by Shivkrupanand Swami, this path reveals that spiritual connection is not forced or fabricated; it blossoms naturally when the soul is ripe. I was not looking for a Guru and then a friend asked me to accompany him for a spiritual event, and I just went as company – but when the discourse started, I felt I knew the Guru from the past! Samarpan Dhyanyog is not about seeking outwardly - it is about preparing inwardly. The Guru does not arrive through effort or search; the Guru appears when the inner soil is fertile. Just as a seed waits for the right season to sprout, the soul waits for the right vibration to awaken. That readiness is not measur...

The Smallest Step Can Open the Deepest Doors

  Photo Credit: Pinterest The Smallest Step Can Open the Deepest Doors In the intriguing journey of spiritual awakening invariably we turn to God when our life faces huge problems, and then from there the journey inwards starts looking for signs, or life-altering revelations. Yet, the truth whispered by the Himalayan Samarpan Dhyanyog tradition is simple and profound: the smallest step can open the deepest doors. This path, taught by Shivkrupanand Swami, invites seekers to begin not with perfection, but with presence. Samarpan Dhyanyog does not demand elaborate rituals or intellectual mastery. It asks only for one small step - a moment of sitting in silence, a breath taken with awareness, a willingness to unconditionally surrender to the Master. That single act, seemingly insignificant, becomes the key to unlocking inner realms that have remained closed for lifetimes. The power of this path lies in its simplicity. When a seeker sits in meditation, even for a few minutes, aligning w...

Navratri – A Festival of Inner Glory through Samarpan

Image
  Navratri – A Festival of Inner Glory through Samarpan Navratri, in the light of Himalayan Samarpan Meditation and the teachings of Shree Shivkrupanand Swamiji, becomes not just a cultural celebration but a profound spiritual opportunity. It is a time when the soul is invited to turn inward, to connect with the universal consciousness through surrender, silence, and awareness. Each of the nine nights is a step toward dissolving the ego and awakening the divine energy —Shakti — that resides within every seeker. Swamiji teaches that true spirituality begins when we stop searching outside and begin to experience the soul within. Navratri is a sacred reminder of this inner journey. The nine forms of Goddess Durga are not external deities to be worshipped with ritual alone — they are symbolic of the nine qualities we must awaken within ourselves: purity, courage, wisdom, compassion, discipline, devotion, detachment, surrender, and transcendence. Through meditation, especially Himal...

When the Wave of Consciousness Comes

  Photo Credit: LinkedIn When the Wave of Consciousness Comes In our daily lives, we often feel like tiny boats adrift on the vast ocean of existence, tossed by the waves of thoughts, emotions, and external circumstances. We identify so strongly with our individual selves – our names, our roles, our histories – that we forget the immense, tranquil ocean of consciousness that underlies everything. The spiritual journey, as beautifully illuminated by Himalayan Samarpan Dhyanyog, is about awakening to this deeper reality, about realising that we are not just the small wave, but the entire ocean. And there comes a moment, often subtle, sometimes profound, when the ‘wave of consciousness’ truly comes, changing our perception forever. This ‘wave’ isn't a physical phenomenon; it's an internal shift, a profound realisation that transcends intellectual understanding. For many practitioners on the path of Samarpan Dhyanyog, this awakening might begin with a feeling of deep peace duri...
