Every Experience in Life is a Matter of Perception

Image
  Photo Credit: Pinterest Every Experience in Life is a Matter of Perception Life unfolds not as it is, but as we perceive it. Every experience - joyful or painful, uplifting or challenging - is filtered through the lens of our perception. In Himalayan Samarpan Dhyanyog, this understanding is central to spiritual growth. Perception is not just a mental construct - it is the doorway through which reality is shaped and experienced. We often assume that what we see, feel, and interpret is the truth. But perception is coloured by our conditioning, past experiences, emotional states, and mental filters. Two people can go through the same situation and emerge with entirely different understandings. One may feel blessed, the other burdened. The difference lies not in the event, but in the perception. Swami Shivkrupanandji teaches that perception is the reflection of our inner state. When the mind is restless, even beauty feels chaotic. When the soul is awakened, even challenges feel...

Spirituality in the Technological Era

Image
  Photo Credit: Ashram.org Spirituality in the Technological Era We live in an age of unprecedented technological advancement. Information is instant, connectivity is global, and tools for productivity are abundant. Yet, amidst this digital abundance, many feel spiritually disconnected. The question arises: is technology aiding our inner journey, or hindering it? In the path of Himalayan Samarpan Dhyanyog, spirituality is not about rejecting the world - it is about transcending it. Technology, like any tool, is neutral. Its impact depends on how we use it. When used mindfully, it can support our spiritual growth. When used unconsciously, it can distract us from our inner essence. Meditation apps, guided audio tracks, online satsangs, and digital reminders can help establish a routine. They can introduce sadhaks (seekers) to the practice of silence and complete unconditional surrender. For beginners, these aids can be helpful stepping stones. But Swami Shivkrupanandji reminds ...

Being Centred in the Self 24x7

Image
  Photo Credit: Dada Bhagwan Being Centred in the Self 24x7 To be centred in the Self is to live from the soul - not from the surface. In the teachings of Himalayan Samarpan Dhyanyog, this centring is not a temporary state achieved during meditation alone - it is a way of being, a continuous alignment with the inner truth. Most people experience fleeting moments of peace during meditation, but once they return to daily life, the mind takes over. Thoughts, emotions, and external situations pull them away from their centre. The challenge is not just to touch the Self - but to remain anchored in it, 24x7. Swami Shivkrupanandji teaches that the Self is always present - silent, luminous, and untouched by the chaos of the world. It is not something we need to create; it is something we need to remember. And the key to this remembrance is samarpan - total unconditional surrender. In Samarpan Dhyanyog, we do not try to control the mind or force awareness. We simply sit in silence a...

The Goal of Life – Control, Power or Liberation?

Image
  Photo Credit: Instagram The Goal of Life – Control, Power or Liberation? From the moment we are born, we are conditioned to chase control and power. Control over our circumstances, relationships, careers, and even our emotions. Power over others, over outcomes, over the future. Society often measures success by how much influence we wield or how much we can command. But is this truly the goal of life? In the light of Himalayan Samarpan Dhyanyog, the answer is clear: the ultimate goal of life is not control or power - it is liberation. Liberation from the false self, from attachments, from the endless cycle of desires and fears. Liberation is not an escape from life - it is the flowering of true life. Swami Shivkrupanandji teaches that the more we try to control, the more we suffer. Control is rooted in fear - the fear of loss, of uncertainty, of impermanence. Power, too, is often a mask for insecurity. It seeks validation from the outside, and thus remains fragile. But libe...

Tackling Collective Karma vs Individual Karma

Image
  Photo Credit: Facebook Tackling Collective Karma vs Individual Karma Karma is often understood as a personal ledger—our actions, intentions, and consequences shaping our individual journey. But karma also operates on a collective level. There is a collective karmic memory shared between families, communities, nations, and even across humanity. However, irrespective of this, how we experience our life is still determined by us. In the path of Himalayan Samarpan Dhyanyog, understanding and addressing both individual and collective karma is essential for true spiritual evolution.  Individual karma is shaped by our choices, thoughts, and actions. It determines our emotional patterns, life circumstances, and spiritual readiness. Meditation, introspection, and surrender help us purify this karma. In Samarpan Dhyanyog, when we sit in silence and connect with the Gurutattva, we begin to dissolve the layers of personal karma that cloud our inner light.  But collective karma is...

Importance of Seva-Bhaav in Guru’s Work

Image
  Photo Credit: Vivekvani Importance of Seva-Bhaav in Guru’s Work In the spiritual path, few things are as transformative as seva-bhaav - the spirit of selfless service. In Himalayan Samarpan Dhyanyog , seva is not just an act; it is a sacred offering, a way to dissolve the ego and align with the Guru-element. When done with purity and complete, unconditional surrender, seva becomes a powerful tool for inner growth. Swami Shivkrupanandji teaches that the Guru’s work is not limited to teachings or discourses - it is a living vibration that uplifts humanity. To participate in this work is a privilege, not a duty. And the only qualification required is a sincere heart. Whether one is sweeping the floor, arranging chairs, distributing prasad, or simply welcoming others with love - every act of seva carries the potential to awaken the soul. Seva in Samarpan Dhyanyog is never transactional. It is not done for recognition, reward, or spiritual merit. It is done to dissolve the “I”— ...

How One’s Breathing Evolves in Meditation

Image
  Photo Credit: in.pinterest.com How One’s Breathing Evolves in Meditation Breath is the bridge between body and soul. It is subtle, constant, and deeply connected to our state of being. In Himalayan Samarpan Dhyanyog , breath is not manipulated - it is observed. And through this observation, a quiet transformation begins. The evolution of breath in meditation is not mechanical - it is mystical. In our daily life, breath is often shallow, rapid, and unconscious. It reflects our mental restlessness, emotional turbulence, and physical tension. But when we sit in meditation, something begins to shift. As Swami Shivkrupanandji teaches, we do not need to control the breath. We simply sit in unconditional surrender, allowing the Guru’s consciousness to work through us. And as the mind settles, the breath begins to change on its own. I have observed my pulse going down to 40 beats per minute (Garmin sports watch proof) and sometimes I have noticed my breathing has stopped completely f...
