THE LAW OF KARMA: RUNANUBANDHA, PARENT/CHILD R'SHIP, MARRIAGE, ASTROLOGY As I grew up I started wondering about the purpose of life. Life brought with its myriad experiences, the inevitable experience of suffering too. Why do we suffer? Why are we born? Such questions plagued my mind for a long time. The sacred books and the wise men gave me a glimpse of the theory of karma and transmigration of

To understand raasleela, the dance of celebration, what is first necessary to know is that the whole of life is a meeting of contradictory forces, and that all its happiness comes from this union of the opposites. The very mystery and ecstasy of life lies hidden in this unio mystica. To begin with, it is good to understand the metaphysical meaning of the celebration that our universe is. And then

Everyone has an aura, but ordinarily your auras are nothing but shadows with no light in them -- just dark shadows around you. And those auras reflect your every mood. When you are angry, then your auras become as if blood-filled; they become filled with a red, angry expression. When you are sad, dim, down, then your auras are filled with dark threads, as if you are just near death -- everything

Three types of Space. One is the external space, in which all the five elements, four elements are there. Then there is the second type of space that is inner space, where thoughts come and emotions come. That’s inner space. When you close your eyes what do you? That is inner space. And then there is the third space. That is the space of energy where there is no thought, no emotion but you just

Knowledge of DEATH Nature has provided a tiny glimpse of death to you in your everyday life: your sleep. Death is akin to your sleep. When you’re awake you’re engaged in various activities, and the moment you hit the bed, what happens to you? Where do you go? However the day has been, pleasant or unpleasant, sleep provides you deep rest. Sleep just takes you in its arms and comforts you and makes

10 Ways to Raise your Consciousness 1.Forgive yourself and others: Life is too short to hold on to regrets, grudges, miscommunications, or disappointments. Free yourself by forgiving and letting go of any negative energy you’re holding on to about yourself or others. The process of forgiving yourself and others will result in your feeling light and free; it will raise your vibration. 2. Practice

MIND is INFINITE, BODY is FINITE n LIFE is a COMBINATION of finite and infinite. Q: Guruji, how to connect to the SOURCE ? Sri Sri: Don’t see the source as something far away and try to connect to the source. Just relax! Whenever you relax you are the Source. In the spiritual plane only relaxation, doing nothing connects you to the Source. Mind and body works on completely different laws. Body

Q: Dearest Guruji, can you please speak a little on KUNDALINI SHAKTI? Sri Sri: Kundalini simply means the energy in your body. Unless it is awakened there is no life. And in the very first kriya you do it is already awakened. It doesn’t have to be dramatic. There are three types of kundalini shaktis, one is sattvic. The most harmonious, gentle awakening of the kundalini shakti. And you don’t even

Can you please talk about subtle bodies and causal bodies? I’ve heard about them but I don’t know how or what they are. Sri Sri: Yes, physical body in the waking state.

SIGNIFICANCE/SACREDNESS OF EACH NUMBER .. Q: Can you elaborate on the number 7, like there are 7 days in a week, the 7 continents, the 7 chakras and so on. Sri Sri : Every number is associated with something sacred and has sacredness to it. That’s why when the Rudrabhishekam is done, all the numbers are said. Number 1 and 2 are very sacred. Number 3 is also sacred. Number 3 is associated with so

Q: Guruji, when we DIE the BODY and BREATH are left behind and our MIND, MEMORY, SOUL are still together with the impressions. Do the INTELLECT and EGO also still stay with us? Can we use our intellect to calm our mind then? Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: The impressions of the intellect and the cravings and aversions of the mind go with the subtle body. So when you die what happens is for sometime the

"Divine is serving you all the time!"-THE BEST GURU STORY EVER.....! MUST READ..! Quite a few years back in Bangalore Ashram, there was a devotee who was so proud of himself for being a big sevak for Guruji/Ashram. Accompanying Guruji on a trip, as usual, he was called to Guruji's room after satsang. Guruji was alone and, as usual, he started giving details about the satsang and journey. Guruji..

The Unconditional Love of the Lord flows eternally... Jai Sri Krsna Once a few Yadavas felt a deep urge to see Krishna who was living at the other side of the river Yamuna. They prepared tasty and colorful sweets out of cow’s milk which Krishna loved. They packed everything and walked towards the river Yamuna to cross over to see Krishna. When they reached the bank of the river, their hearts sank

IMPORTANCE OF PADMA SADHANA Padma Sadhana is a sequence of yoga asanas specially designed by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar for the DSN (Divya Samaj Nirman) Course. Padma means lotus and Sadhana means effort. In the Agama tradition, it is said that the Devi (Goddess) sits on a 5 layered seat or asana. The base of this seat is a tortoise, which represents stability. The second layer is the snake, which

Question - How to drop Judging People?Osho - There is no need to stop or drop judging people; you have to understand why you judge and how you judge. You can judge only the behaviour because only the behaviour is available. You cannot judge the person because the person is hiding behind, the person is a mystery. You can judge the act but you cannot judge the being.And the act is irrelevant. It

What is Love? Osho : It depends. There are as many loves as there are people. Love is a hierarchy, from the lowest rung to the highest, from sex to superconsciousness. There are many many layers, many planes of love. It all depends on you. If you are existing on the lowest rung, you will have a totally different idea of love than the person who is existing on the highest rung. Adolf Hitler will

An old Zen story tells of a pilgrim who mounted his horse and crossed formidable mountains and swift rivers seeking a famous wise man in order to ask him how to find true enlightenment. After months of searching, the pilgrim located the teacher in a cave. The Master listened to the question and said nothing. The seeker waited. Finally, after hours of silence, the Master looked at the steed on

What you think of yourself plays a great role in what you actually become. Self-perception is created over time due to the environment and other people around you. As one grows, it is also shaped by the successes and the failures that one faces and the manner in which one treats them. The comments, positive and negative determine what you think of yourself as. If there is a plethora of genuine

Indian culture has always held the guru in high esteem. Having a master was not just considered a matter of pride, but it was mandatory to have a guru. Not having a master was looked down upon as being an orphan, being poor and a sign of misfortune. The word anatha in Sanskrit means one without a master. An acharya (teacher) gives shiksha, which means knowledge; Guru gives diksha, which means

The Guru principle is so vital in life. The first guru is Dakshinamurthy, the embodiment of infinity woven so skillfully in the finite that the finite and infinite co-exist. There is an element of the guru in every human being. That wisdom in each one has to be invoked and awakened.When this element is awakened, misery in life disappears.

There are five types of dreams.1. One is that which comes up in the form of cravings or your unfulfilled desires. They appear in dreams as fulfillment. Have you experienced this? Your latent desires always show up in your dreams.2. The second type of dream is stress release from the past. All you have experienced in life comes up as dreams.3. The third type of dream is an intuitive dream — where

Emotions play an important part in our daily lives. Fear is one such emotion that is pre-programmed into all animals and people as an instinctual response to potential danger.Whenever a boundary is broken, it creates some fear. The fear creates dislike. This dislike puts us back in the boundary. And to keep yourself in the boundary you put forth defenses. When you try to defend your position, it

1- MEDITATE UPON LOVE! Any problem in your life would simply disappearif only you would love more. Loving more is not about a clingy, needy orcontrolling love. Big Love is more about loving for the sake of loving. It's free.It's a "I don't need anything from you" loving. Remember who you areand who you came here to be ... and that's Love.2.Love that you are. To attract love, you must simply "be"

I chant the name of my beloved in every breath. The beloved is faultless - perfect. But being in love I have lost my reputation.When there is so much love, you take total responsibility for any misunderstanding. You may express dismay for a moment on the surface. But when you do not feel that in your heart, you arrive at a perfect understanding. You are in a state where all problems and

How to overcome FEAR..1. Sing, dance and celebrate. The very intention to celebrate will pull you away from anxiety to a more harmonious state.2. Think about what you can do for others rather than just about yourself. Energize yourself with some service activity.3. Combined practice of yoga, breathing and meditation.4.

What you are looking for in life is comfort. Why do you need money? Because you wantcomfort. Any need in any direction boils down to one word - comfort.There are many levels of comfort. One is physical - if you are sitting on the grass you think, ‘oh, it would have been better if there was a cushion’’. Then there’s mental comfort - this is even more essential. If you have a comfortable home but

You cannot understand the sayings of Jesus if you are not alive with prana, with the life force. The knowledge will all be just a concept in the head. Only the heart can feel that heart Jesus and love are synonymous! If you say love, you need not say Jesus. If you say Jesus, that means love. Jesus said once, ‘‘If you call God in my name, if you ask God in my name, whatever you ask, shall be given

Certain questions indicate the maturity of our mind. Do you know what those questions are?They are: What is life? What is the purpose of my life? Why am I here? What do I want? If these questions arise in your mind, it is a sign of the mind or intellect getting matured. Otherwise the mind is just in routine doing the same thing again and again, not even introspecting looking into the source of

A river needs two bunks to flow. The difference between flood and a flowing river is water flows regulated in a direction in a river. During floods the water is muddled and has no direction. Similarly, the energy in our life needs some direction to flow. If you don’t give direction, it is all confusion. Today most of the people are in confusion because there is no direction in life.

Bad Antogast, Germany, May 14 (Thursday): The satsang tonight was simply incredible. Possibly one of the rarest of satsangs. It started when Guruji asked: How are you all?Ok, now we are going to have a silent conversation. You have a question, and I will not say a word. You silently ask, and I will silently answer.When the satsang group (representing the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Africa)

We lead life through three states of consciousness — waking, dreaming and sleeping. In the waking state of consciousness, we experience the world through the five senses, be it sight, smell, touch, hearing or taste. We seek elevation and joy from these senses.For instance, we only want to look at something that is a source of joy, not at something likely to sadden us. If any one of the senses is

Actions happen through consciousness.It is because of consciousness that you talk, walk, sit, cry and laugh. Consciousness expresses the three shaktis — Gyan Shakti, Ichcha Shakti and Kriya Shakti. Knowledge, action and desire. If there is co-ordination among these three, then life is very smooth. If not, then life is in doldrums.If you desire something and it is not correlated with knowledge

Adi Shankara, after he spoke a lot about dispassion, detachment, and renuciation, found that people should not stop appreciating beauty. So he sang a hundred verses on beauty. He foresaw that if he just talked about renunciation, people could become sadists. They start liking and encouraging the sadness. So he immediately sang on beauty. Beauty has three levels: indication, expression and

You have always thought of God as a father, up in the heavens somewhere. But can you see God as a child? When you see God as a father, you will want to demand and take from Him. But when you see God as a child, you have no demands.God is the very core of your existence. You are pregnant with God. You have to take care of your pregnancy and deliver this Child into the world.

Sadhana, seva and satsang - these are so essential on the path to liberation. What should our approach be towards these three? Guruji gave a very beautiful answer to this that till date shapes my attitude towards these three. He simply said - Seva samaj ke liye, Sadhana khud ke liye aur Satsang Ishwar ke liye. Do seva for society, sadhana for the self and satsang for the Divine. Such a

O Buddha, the gold vein of thy sermon of mercy ran through gloom-gorged, rocky hearts, and illumined their darkness.Thou loftiest soarer of renunciation's skies, beneath thy God-lifted eyes, the kingdom of sense-comfort, the rivers of gross greed, the vast and lust-scorched deserts of desire, the tall trees of temporal ambition, the cactus plants of prickly world-worries—all melt into invisible

Once it happened:Buddha entered a village. A man asked him as he was entering the village, "Does God exist?" He said, "No, absolutely no."In the afternoon another man came and he asked, "Does God exist?" And he said, "Yes, absolutely yes."In the evening a third man came and he asked, "Does God exist?"

In the silence of the Guru, questions disappear. Do you know the story of Dakshina Murthi?Many sages did a lot of meditation. They had a lot of questions and they came to Dakshina Murthi. The Guru was young,

Bad Antogast, (Germany), April 30 (Thursday): “Life needs to be a perfect balance between sound and silence, between dynamic activity and stillness, between being funny and jovial, and then being serious. If one aspect is missing, life is incomplete. If you are only serious, and not funny, then it’s not complete. If you are only funny, you become superficial. You are not deep.Silence is our

Master is a doorway. And the doorway needs to be more charming than the world so that you will come to the doorway. Someone is in the street and there is rain, thunder, hot sun; they need shelter. They look around, they find a doorway. They come to the doorway. The doorway is more inviting, more charming, more celebrative, more joyful than anything else in the world.Nothing could give that much

We have heard of this beautiful word - sankalpa. It has been used and misused many a time. In this sutra (a succint, crisp exposition on some subject) guruji talks about the mechanics of how sankalpa works and how we can make it stronger. This was in a talk given at Aurangabad to the delegates of NIPM - National Institute of Personnel Management - on March 3rd, 2009. Sankalpa mein shakti hai.

There are five types of seva.The first type of seva is when you do not even know that you are doing seva. You do not recognize it as seva because it is your very nature - you cannot but do it!The second type of seva is what you do because it is needed in that situation.You do the third type of seva because it gives you joy.The fourth type is done out of your desire for merit - you do seva

Today many are anxious about how to deal with their anxiety!Here are some of the ways you can manage your anxiety:1. Sing, dance and celebrate. The very intention to celebrate will pull you away from anxiety to a more harmonious state.2. Think about what you can do for others rather than just about yourself. Energize yourself with some service activity.3. Combined practice of yoga, breathing and

Worst Act of Reason is War.Every war has a reason, and the reason justifies the war. Those who engage in war, reason it out. But reason is limited. As reason changes, justification falls apart.All the reasons for every war appear to be justifiable to some limited minds and for limited time. Hence, war becomes inevitable on this planet.War is limited to human beings. No other species in creation

Why are people hungry for power?People are hungry for power because they want attention and recognition.Power is a means, just like money. Passion is for an end. People who do not see power or money as a means, but see it as an end in itself, they do not live, they simply exist.If you do not realize that you are THE power -- that is to say that you are enlightened, then you crave for power.You

Guru is nothing but wisdom and love.Guru is that principle which is wisdom and love, and that is awakened in each one who has stepped onto the path. You also call that person a Guru in whom there is no gap between life and wisdom and love.Often one recognizes wisdom but sees a gap between wisdom and one's own life. The purpose of becoming a disciple is to bridge that gap. Being with the Guru

"Satyam Param Dhimahi --Truth and the Divinity of the transcendental I uphold in my awareness."It is the intellect that divides the world, and the same intellect can bring it together by soaking itself in Divinity.

One who has given everything has also given freedom: Honor the freedom first and make good use of all things given to you.Your sankalpas (intentions) and desires separate you from God.Offer all the desires and your sankalpas to the Divine... then you are divine... you are God... you are free... lacking nothing.Effort is the key in the relative,Effortlessness is the key to the Absolute.Your mind

If you think nobody loves you, know for sure that you are loved. The earth loves you; that’s why it is holding you upright. The love of the earth is its gravitational force. The air loves you; that’s why it moves through your lungs even when you are sleeping. The Divine loves you very dearly, deeply. Once you realize this, you will never feel lonely.Someone's company cannot fill your loneliness.
