Meditate Regularly – Stay Aligned with

 Divinity in a Year of Turmoil

Every year brings its own challenges, but some years carry a heavier burden of turmoil. Man-made crises, conflicts, and natural disasters shake the foundations of human life, leaving many feeling anxious, fearful, and uncertain. In such times, the question arises: how can one remain steady, peaceful, and aligned with the higher truth? The answer, as Shivkrupanand Swamiji teaches, lies in meditation.

Meditation is not merely a practice; it is the lifeline that connects us to universal consciousness. When the external world is filled with chaos, meditation helps us retreat into the sanctuary within, where silence and divinity reside. By meditating regularly, we remain centred, balanced, and protected, no matter what storms rage outside.

Swamiji explains that meditation is the bridge between the individual self and the infinite. It dissolves the noise of the mind and allows the soul to align with the vibrations of universal consciousness. In this alignment, fear and anxiety lose their grip, and the seeker experiences peace and bliss. Meditation is not escape - it is empowerment. It equips us to live in the world without being shaken by its turmoil.

This year, as Swamiji has often reminded sadhaks, will be marked by disturbances - both man-made and natural. Such events are beyond our control, but how we respond to them is within our reach. Meditation under the guidance of a realised master provides the shield we need. The Satguru’s energy protects the seeker, purifies the consciousness, and strengthens the inner being.

In Himalayan Samarpan Meditation, the sadhak places the chitta on the sahastrar in complete surrender to the Guru-energies. This surrender is the key. Ego dissolves, the restless mind quiets, and the soul awakens. The Satguru’s vibrations flow into the sadhak, creating a protective field of energy. In this field, external turmoil cannot disturb the inner silence. The sadhak’s aura or energy field becomes strong and he remains aligned with divinity, steady and fearless.

Meditation in collectivity magnifies this protection. When sadhaks gather, the collective energy creates a powerful shield that uplifts everyone present. Ego, which thrives on separation, finds it harder to survive in this atmosphere of unity. At the same time, meditation in solitude is equally important. Alone, the sadhak deepens introversiveness, surrendering fully to the Satguru and resting in the Self. Both collective and solitary meditation are essential to stay aligned with divinity.

Swamiji emphasises that regularity is crucial. Meditation is not a practice to be done occasionally, but daily. Just as the body needs food every day, the soul needs meditation every day. Regular meditation builds resilience, strengthens the connection with universal consciousness, and ensures that the seeker remains centred even in the most difficult times.

Ultimately, meditation is the path to liberation. It is the way to rise above turmoil, not by escaping it, but by transcending it. When the sadhak is aligned with divinity, external events lose their power to disturb. Silence, bliss, and freedom become the natural state. In this state, the seeker lives in the world but is no longer bound by it.

Thus, in a year of turmoil, the greatest protection is meditation. By meditating regularly under the guidance of a realised master like Shivkrupanand Swamiji, seekers can stay aligned with divinity, centred in the Self, and connected with universal consciousness. External storms may come, but within, there will be only peace.
