Are We in the Present?

Image
  Photo Credit: Instagram Are We in the Present? Here is a strange question to start with: When was the last time you took a shower - and really just took a shower? Or felt the warmth of the sun on your skin on an ordinary afternoon? Most of us will struggle to remember. When the water flows over our shoulders, our mind is miles away, rehearsing an upcoming meeting, arguing with a colleague in our head, or reviewing yesterday's mistakes. When the sun touches our face, we are preoccupied with a mounting to-do list, our phone vibrating in our pocket. We were not there for the warmth. We were not there for the breath. We were not there for our own skin. We inhabit our bodies, yet we rarely inhabit the moment. The tragedy of modern existence is that we are physically in the present, but psychologically lost in transit. The mind behaves like a frantic pendulum, endlessly oscillating between the regrets, guilt, and conditioning of the past, and the anxieties, projections, and ambitions o...

Devotion (Bhakti) – A Dimension of Intelligence

Image
  Photo Credit: Facebook Devotion (Bhakti) – A Dimension of Intelligence In our modern pursuit of knowledge, intellect is often crowned as the ultimate human faculty. We analyse, dissect, categorise, and debate, believing that sharp analytical thought alone can unlock the mysteries of life. Yet, intellect has inherent boundaries; it can dissect a flower to count its petals, but it can never experience fragrance. It wants to conquer and decipher truth from a distance. Devotion, or Bhakti , operates from an entirely different, vastly superior dimension of intelligence: it does not seek to conquer truth - it embraces and experiences it. At its core, Bhakti Yoga means using the immense intensity of human emotion to transcend individual limitations. While our physical body and logical mind often struggle to sustain high states of intensity, human emotion can turn intense in a single moment. When that raw emotional energy is directed outward into worldly desires or resentments, it br...

The Satguru Is Always With You

Image
  Photo Credit: Facebook The Satguru Is Always With You We often wander through life carrying an unspoken, heavy loneliness, believing we must bear the weight of our ambitions, sorrows, and worldly struggles entirely on our own. Yet, on the path of Himalayan Samarpan Meditation under the divine guidance of self-realised Master Shree Shivkrupanand Swami (Swamiji), life reveals an extraordinary truth: we are never alone. The living Satguru does not dwell merely in physical proximity, books, or distant ashrams; he is an eternal, living presence woven into every breath of a surrendered disciple. When you sit each morning in Himalayan Samarpan Meditation, leaving aside the intellectual clutter of the mind, a subtle shift begins to unfold. Through the simple act of surrendering thoughts, worries, and ego, the dormant energy awakens, gently guiding the attention up to the Crown Chakra ( Sahasrara ). With sustained and regular practice, the boundaries of the isolated self, dissolve, an...

Why Wait Until Retirement – Transform Now!

Image
  Photo Credit: Facebook Why Wait Until Retirement – Transform Now! In today’s world, fulfilment is treated like a retirement benefit - a reward unlocked only after the final milestone is achieved. The societal formula insists on delay: first establish your career, accumulate enough wealth, fulfil every familial duty, and clear life’s endless balance sheet. Only when the hair has greyed and obligations have receded are you expected to sit quietly, close your eyes, and seek God or inner peace. Until then, life remains a mechanical series of tasks to get through. Days blur into a frantic cycle of waking, working, managing, and worrying. You convince yourself that peace lies just over the next hill: “Once this project ends, I’ll relax.” “Once the children settle, I’ll dedicate time to spirituality.” Yet the goalpost keeps moving. The moment one duty ends, three more emerge. Ambition expands, new obligations take root, and the finish line retreats into the horizon. If fulfilment...

Speak to Your Body

Image
  Photo Credit: Facebook Speak to Your Body There is a quiet, profound intelligence within the physical vessel you inhabit - an innate wisdom that waits patiently for us to acknowledge its presence. In the relentless rush of modern living, caught in the endless loop of mental chatter and external demands, most of us have severed the sacred dialogue between the self and the physical form. We treat the body as a mechanical vehicle to be driven, pushed, and occasionally repaired, completely forgetting that it is a living, breathing temple of consciousness. To heal and truly awaken, we must remind ourselves of the forgotten language of speaking with the body-mind. Every single cell within our physical system carries deep memories, unspoken emotions, and subtle impressions gathered over a lifetime. When stress, unprocessed grief, or tension arise, the cells absorb the shock. Long before an imbalance manifests as illness, the body whispers warnings through subtle shifts in energy, ti...

We are Utterly Alone in this world

Image
  Photo Credit: Pinterest We are Utterly Alone in this world At first glance, the thought of being utterly alone sounds bleak, almost unbearable to the human mind. From our earliest moments, existence is constructed around connection: the comfort of a mother’s embrace, the guidance of a father, the warmth of companionship, and the shared ties of family. We weave identities around these associations, convincing ourselves that these bonds define who we are. Yet beneath the noise of worldly attachments lies an immutable spiritual truth echoed through ancient wisdom: in this vast universe, the soul arrives alone, journeys alone, and departs alone. No relation truly belongs to us. What we perceive as permanent ties are merely temporary meetings at a cosmic transit station. Every relationship that blossoms or fractures in this lifetime is born of past karmic debts and credits. The soul does not stumble blindly into a family; it selects its parents and circumstances before birth with ...

Innocence and Carefree Laughter

Image
  Photo Credit: Facebook Innocence and Carefree Laughter We often carry life as if it were an exhausting negotiation. From our earliest school days into adulthood, society trains us to be guarded, calculative, and serious. We build heavy armours of pride, ambition, and identity, mistakenly believing that self-importance equals wisdom. Yet, beneath these rigid layers of mental conditioning lies our forgotten reality - the spontaneous joy and natural purity of a child. In Himalayan Samarpan Meditation, under the divine guidance of realised Master Shree Shivkrupanand Swamiji, we discover that spiritual evolution is not an accumulation of knowledge, but a profound process of unlearning. Swamiji teaches that the true inward journey does not demand severe austerity or mental wrestling. Instead, it asks for unconditional surrender ( samarpan ). When a seeker surrenders their doubts, intellect, past impressions, and the stubborn burden of the ego at the feet of the Guru, something mira...
