The Mind is your Own Battlefield

I am responsible for what I say and not for your understanding of what I said. Many times conversations are taken out of context and one creates a perceived hurt in one’s mind when the other person says something which you understand in a totally wrong manner! It is best to ask for clarifications before jumping to wrong conclusions and thereby creating a mental illusion of hurt. Stay calm, stay peaceful, don’t overthink conversations and attribute meanings to it which exist only in your mind – the mind is a very funny thing! If you don’t control it, it will create havoc in your life. The mind is your own battlefield! The mind creates situations out of ordinary conversations into perceived hurt and insult. This results in mental agony. In life, you will face many such mental battles and how you tackle these battles will depend on the state of your mind. Your thoughts create the battlefield or the garden of peace. How you think and the company you keep determines your reactions to situations in life. If you are part of a positive collectivity then there are very good chances that your mind becomes a garden of peace. But, if your friends and companions hold a negative outlook on life, it is most likely you will be negative because herd mentality takes over. If you want to win the war – then all the battles have to be fought with a positive outlook on life. To get that positive outlook stay in positive collectivity which is available in all meditation centres. In such centres too, you will realise that you connect to only those people who vibrate in your frequency. Meditation is the key to overcome the mental battles and ultimately win the war!


Meditate, turn inwards and make your own battlefield (the mind) a haven of peace and harmony. Once your battlefield becomes a garden which gives the fragrance of peace, calm, joy and bliss you will have won the war. Come, let us meditate both alone and in collectivity (morning and evening, respectively) to attain a state of peace and calm – end result your battlefield is now your own garden of peace!!

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 experience

  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 just before our

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
