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.

In Himalayan Samarpan Dhyanyog, we are taught to offer our thoughts, desires, and worries at the feet of ...

  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.
