Meditation & Sustained Sense of Joy & Peace

In the profound silence of meditation, one discovers a timeless reservoir of joy and peace that transcends the transient highs and lows of daily life. Meditation acts as a portal to an inner sanctuary, where the turbulence of the external world dissipates, and a fountain of serene joy springs forth.

As the mind settles into stillness, the seeker experiences a harmonious union with the cosmic rhythms. This union is not contingent on external circumstances; it is an intrinsic state of being, a wellspring of joy and peace that emanates from within.

Through regular meditation, guided by a spiritual mentor like His Holiness Shivkrupanand Swamiji, this sense of joy becomes a constant companion. It is not a fleeting emotion tied to specific events but a perennial undercurrent that infuses every moment with profound tranquillity.

Meditation becomes a transformative journey, a pilgrimage to the heart of inner joy and peace. The practitioner learns to detach from the transient fluctuations of the mind and external world, anchoring themselves in the unshakable serenity that meditation unveils.

This sustained joy is not dependent on acquiring possessions, achieving goals, or external validations. It is an authentic expression of the soul's inherent bliss, untouched by the ephemeral nature of material pursuits.

Furthermore, the peace cultivated through meditation is not a passive absence of conflict but an active, resilient state that remains undisturbed amidst the chaos of life. The practitioner becomes a beacon of peace, radiating calmness and stability to the world.

In the presence of a realised spiritual guide, meditation takes on a profound dimension. The aspirant not only imbibes the techniques but also absorbs the elevated state of consciousness of the mentor. The guidance of a spiritual luminary like Swamiji becomes a compass, directing the seeker towards a sustained state of inner joy and peace.

As one delves deeper into the practice, the boundaries between meditation and daily life blur. The meditative state becomes a way of life, an unwavering source of joy and peace that accompanies the individual through every challenge and triumph.

Ultimately, meditation is a journey back to the source of joy and peace within. It is a conscious choice to disentangle from the external tumult and anchor oneself in the eternal serenity of the soul. Through this transformative practice, individuals not only experience fleeting moments of happiness but embody a sustained state of joy and peace, radiating its transformative influence to the world.

Mahashivratri - Har Har Mahadev!

  Mahashivratri - Har Har Mahadev! Tomorrow is Mahashivratri – the day Lord Shiva was united with Shakti. It is held on the 14 th night of the new moon in the month of Phalgun (onset of summer) as per the Hindu Calendar. In honour and as a mark of respect and devotion, Hindus fast for the full day and night of Mahashivratri. This is considered to be the darkest night of the year and it celebrates the grace of Lord Shiva who is said to be the Adi Guru or the first Guru from whom the tradition of Yoga originates. Mahashivratri is celebrated throughout the country in various Ashrams by all self-realised Saints in the presence of their devotees – either in the physical form or remotely – this year due to Corona pandemic, this festival will be mainly celebrated online. We, the Samarpan Family too will be celebrating this online through the live webcast on the GuruTattva YouTube channel. All the devotees wait eagerly for this day as the energy is literally palpable and, in my experi...

  GSD view from afar Heaven in the Heat - Rajasthan Samarpan Ashram   Visit to Rajasthan Samarpan Ashram   Our visit to Rajasthan Samarpan Ashram had been in the offing for quite a long time. I had called Umeshji sometime in the middle of April and asked whether we could give Aradka a visit. He said he would be free after the 26 th and so we planned accordingly. Umesh Paiji and I had decided to give a surprise inspection visit to the Rajasthan Samarpan Ashram as per the guidance given by His Holiness Swamiji in May 2023 during his discourse at Mahudi. Accordingly, we had booked flight tickets, airport to Ajmer hotel transfers – both to and fro. Our visit was from April 28 and return was scheduled for May 1 – both Gujarat and Maharashtra Day! On the 28 th we requested Swamiji’s office to inform the Rajasthan trustee and the Administrator of our impending visit and the purpose of the same. The office informed Dr Manoj Sharma and Mr. Sundeep Sharma about our visit ju...

Talking to your Body Mind

Photo Credit: Pinterest Talking to your Body Mind In the labyrinth of our existence, there exists an unspoken dialogue—a conversation between our body, mind, and spirit. This discourse, often overlooked amidst the cacophony of daily life, holds the key to unlocking our innermost truths and nurturing holistic well-being. To embark on this journey of self-discovery, we must first quiet the noise of the external world and turn our gaze inward. As we delve deeper into the recesses of our being, we encounter the subtle whispers of our body and mind, each conveying its unique wisdom and insight. Our body, a temple of sacred intelligence, communicates its needs and desires through sensations, feelings, and emotions. It speaks the language of sensations—aches, pains, and discomforts—as messengers urging us to pay attention and listen with compassion. Simultaneously, our mind, the orchestrator of our thoughts and perceptions, weaves a tapestry of stories and narratives that shape our reality. I...
