Discover the Seeker in You

The journey of life is not merely about existing but about discovering the profound truth of who we are. Beneath the layers of our roles, identities, and desires lies a seeker — a divine essence yearning to connect with its source. The seeker within us is not content with the transient pleasures of the material world; it aspires for something eternal, something beyond the grasp of the mind and senses. Discovering this seeker is the first step toward true fulfilment and self-realisation, and Shivkrupanand Swamiji's Himalayan Samarpan Meditation offers the perfect pathway to awaken this inner calling.

In the teachings of Shivkrupanand Swamiji, the concept of the seeker is central to the spiritual journey. A seeker is not defined by external achievements or labels but by an inner longing for truth and unity. This longing arises naturally when the soul begins to recognise the limitations of worldly pursuits and seeks to connect with the eternal consciousness. It is a state of complete unconditional surrender and humility, where one acknowledges the need for guidance and wisdom to navigate the spiritual path.

Himalayan Samarpan Meditation, as introduced by Swamiji, is a practice designed to awaken the seeker within. It is a simple yet profound meditation technique that enables individuals to connect with the universal consciousness. Through regular practice, one learns to quiet the restless mind, detach from external distractions, and listen to the inner voice of the soul. This process of inward reflection is where the seeker begins to emerge.

The seeker’s journey is not about accumulating knowledge but about unlearning the conditioning that clouds our perception. It involves peeling away the layers of ego, fear, and attachment to reveal the pure, untainted essence of our being. Himalayan Samarpan Meditation facilitates this unlearning by encouraging us to let go of preconceived notions and surrender to the divine flow of life. In this state of surrender, the seeker experiences clarity, peace, and a profound connection with the universe.

One of the unique aspects of this meditation practice is its emphasis on the Guru-disciple relationship. Shivkrupanand Swamiji, as a realised Guru, embodies the essence of universal love and wisdom. He serves as a mirror, reflecting the divine potential within each seeker. His guidance is not about creating dependence but about empowering individuals to recognise their own divine nature. In his presence, seekers feel inspired to embark on their inner journey with courage and determination.

The path of a seeker is not devoid of challenges. Doubts, distractions, and worldly temptations often test the resolve of those on the spiritual path. However, these challenges are not obstacles but stepping stones for growth. Himalayan Samarpan Meditation equips the seeker with the tools to face these tests with resilience. By anchoring the mind in meditation and aligning the actions with higher principles, the seeker gradually transforms and strengthens their spiritual foundation.

As the seeker evolves, they begin to see the world through a different lens. Life becomes less about achieving and more about being. Relationships are no longer based on expectations but on unconditional love and understanding. The seeker realises that the external world is a reflection of their inner state, and by cultivating peace within, they contribute to harmony around them.

Discovering the seeker in oneself is not an end but the beginning of a lifelong journey toward self-realisation. Himalayan Samarpan Meditation serves as a guiding light on this journey, helping seekers connect with their higher self and the universal consciousness. Shivkrupanand Swamiji’s teachings remind us that the seeker’s path is not about renouncing the world but about embracing it with a deeper awareness and purpose.

In discovering the seeker within, we unlock the door to infinite possibilities. We realise that the ultimate truth we seek is not outside but within us, waiting to be uncovered. The seeker’s journey is one of transformation, awakening, and liberation — a journey that leads us to our true home in the eternal consciousness.

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!

The office informed Dr Manoj Sharma and Mr. Sundeep Sharma about our visit ju...

Talking to your Body Mind

Image
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...
