Full Moon Meditation in Collectivity

Full Moon Meditation in Collectivity

The full moon has always held a special place in spiritual traditions. Its radiant presence illuminates the night sky, symbolising completeness, clarity, and expansion. In Himalayan Samarpan Dhyanyog, the full moon is not merely a celestial event - it is a powerful opportunity to connect with cosmic energy in collectivity. When seekers gather to meditate under the full moon, they tap into a unique source of lunar energy that nourishes the soul and deepens awareness.

Swami Shivkrupanandji emphasises that meditation is magnified in collectivity. Just as a single lamp lights a room, but many lamps together create brilliance, collective meditation amplifies the subtle vibrations of silence. The full moon adds another dimension to this experience. Its energy is cooling, calming, and expansive. It harmonises the mind, balances emotions, and opens the heart to surrender.

Why is lunar energy so significant?

The moon governs subtle rhythms - our emotions, our inner tides, our subconscious patterns. On the full moon, these rhythms reach their peak. The mind becomes more sensitive, the heart more open, and the soul more receptive. When we meditate during this time, especially in collectivity, we align with this heightened energy. The chitta (subtle consciousness) becomes more easily purified, and the connection with the Guru-energies deepens.

In Samarpan Dhyanyog, meditation is not about effort - it is always about complete, unconditional surrender. During full moon collectivity, surrender becomes effortless. The lunar energy softens resistance, dissolves restlessness, and creates a natural flow toward silence. We place our chitta on the sahastrar, and the Guru’s energy begins to flow more abundantly. In this flow, the soul experiences expansion - like the moon itself, radiant and complete.

Collective meditation under the full moon also creates a powerful field of consciousness. Each meditator contributes to the collective energy, and each receives from it. This mutual exchange magnifies the experience for all. Even if one meditates alone but connects inwardly with the collective, the effect is profound. Swamiji often reminds us that the Gurutattva is universal - it transcends distance. Thus, full moon meditation becomes a global wave of surrender, flowing across continents and hearts.

The benefits of tapping lunar energy in meditation are both subtle and practical. The mind becomes clearer, emotions stabilise, and awareness sharpens. Seekers often feel more alive, more present, and more connected to the Self. The cooling energy of the moon balances the fiery tendencies of the mind, bringing harmony and peace. It is as if the soul bathes in nectar - Amrut Varsha - flowing from the cosmos.

Moreover, full moon meditation reminds us of completeness. Just as the moon shines in its fullness, we too are complete within. Meditation helps us realise that we are not fragments seeking wholeness - we are wholeness itself, temporarily covered by layers of ego and conditioning. The full moon becomes a mirror, reflecting our true nature.

So, when the full moon rises, let it be a reminder. A reminder to pause, to gather, to surrender. Sit in silence with fellow seekers, or connect inwardly with the collective. Place your chitta on the sahastrar, and let the Guru’s energy flow. Allow the lunar energy to purify, expand, and uplift. In that silence, we don’t just meditate - we merge with the cosmic rhythm.

Full moon meditation in collectivity is not just a practice - it is a celebration. A celebration of light, surrender, and unity. A celebration of the soul’s journey toward completeness. And in that celebration, we discover that the moon outside is but a reflection of the light within.

The Seven Bodies

Image
  The Seven Bodies Swamiji in his discourses has spoken about the awakening of the Kundalini and the seven bodies in brief in his discourses. Here we will try and examine what these bodies are. The first body is the Physical Body – this body is also known as the Sthul sharir – we are all aware of the physical body and most of us do not progress beyond this level in our spiritual journey. This develops in the first seven years after birth. The progress starts once a living Guru plants the seed of self-realisation within you. In the next seven years from ages 7 to 14 one develops the second subtle body which is the Etheric Body or the bhava sharir. Here, the emotional development and maturity takes place. Sexual maturity which is the most wanton of emotions is developed by the age of fourteen. Some people’s growth stops here and they cannot progress beyond this stage at all and get stuck with the physical and etheric bodies. After this is the Astral Body or the sukshma shari...

  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...

Judging Others

Image
  Photo Credit: Pinterest Judging Others Why do we judge people? Sometimes our opinion is formed even before having been introduced to a person. After spending several years on the spiritual path, we develop a sixth sense, we think we understand energy, and based on that we again judge people and slot them as ‘good’ or ‘bad.’ We do not have to stop judging people, we need to understand why and how we judge people. We can only judge that which is visible – like the behaviour of a person, because only the behaviour is available to form an opinion. We do not actually ‘know’ the person, we do not know the reason for his /her behaviour and despite that we go ahead and judge that person. It is alright to judge the act, but not the person. Sometimes it could so happen that a person is always smiling and laughing and being jovial, but deep down he/she may be sad and is just putting on a show to avoid passing on his wounds to everybody. Maybe he/she is smiling on the surface and cryin...
