Santhosam Podcast: Guiding Light of Spiritual Wisdom

In the 22nd Velvi Discourse, Gurumahan Reveals How Collective Good Thoughts Can Help Protect the Earth from Disasters.

The changes in nature have created many difficult situations. Look at Sri Lanka today. It has suffered greatly, affecting hundreds of thousands of people. Those who sow the seeds of karma will reap its results. Long ago, Lanka suffered through fire. Today, it faces destruction through water. 

At the Earth's northern end lies the Arctic, and at its southern end lies Antarctica. As the Earth rotates, the water at the poles remains frozen as solid ice. Scientists now say that Antarctica is changing so rapidly that it may no longer remain the Antarctica we know. The southern ice is melting into water. As these changes continue, the balance between the polar regions is being disturbed. As sea levels rise, regions around the Pacific Ocean including parts of Australia, New Zealand, California, and Africa face increasing risk. The southern region once associated with the lost continent of Lemuria is also spoken of in this context. 

Even today, Dhanushkodi remains submerged beneath the sea, and researchers predict that parts of Kanyakumari could also be affected by changing environmental conditions.

Despite these natural forces, if people cultivate noble thoughts, those very thoughts can transform the world. Noble thought is the world. Thought is God. Thought is life.

Other living beings cannot reflect in this way. Human beings alone possess the ability to think and reason. Therefore, humanity carries the great responsibility of protecting not only itself but also every form of life on Earth.
That is why we conduct Velvi gatherings to awaken this responsibility and bring about a profound transformation.

I once wished to show you, through a visual presentation, the various situations expected around 2012. But due to unforeseen circumstances, it did not happen. Had you seen it, your hearts would have trembled.

Today, science points to the alarming direction in which the world is heading. NASA has made many significant discoveries, yet it continues to struggle with how humanity should respond to them.

Even so, we can bring about great change by transforming our thoughts. That is why we ask everyone to pray:

"May Mother Earth live long."

When a child goes astray, instead of scolding him, if you continue to bless him while focusing on the centre between the eyebrows, he will gradually change for the better. The Ajna Centre possesses such extraordinary power.

In the 22nd Velvi discourse, Gurumahan reveals the profound link between human thoughts, the heat they generate, and their impact on the Earth.

My beloved ones, many ask why the Earth is becoming hotter. Who is responsible for this warming? When you come and sit in this Velvi, I experience intense heat. Why? You leave behind your worries, suffering, and burdens here. Along with them, you also bring your karmas. Even your breath carries heat. Every day, each person releases about 432 kilocalories of heat into the environment. 

Where does all this heat go? It is drawn into the Earth and influences the fiery core at its center. As the Earth's core changes, its rotation also changes. Modern scientists have measured slight changes in the Earth's rotation by a few microseconds. If this trend continues, those changes could grow into seconds or even minutes. Scientists also say that about 30,000 years ago, climatic changes contributed to changes in the Earth's rotation and a shift in its poles. But these predictions can change. If humanity lives with righteousness and follows moral values, the Earth can be protected. Otherwise, we can destroy ourselves through the power of our own thoughts. That is why humanity must change. Human thinking must change. I travel among the people and tell them: "Realize the Atma Shakti within you. Become truly human. If you wish to become a Divine human, awaken to the spiritual power that already exists within you." I share this path of righteousness with everyone.

Gurumahan, in the 22nd Velvi Discourse, talks about Conscience, the True Self, and Your Divine Birthright.

What is your birthright? Is it not to attain the highest state? A poor person longs to gain great wealth. An ordinary worker aspires to reach a higher position. In the same way, there is a supreme wealth, a supreme treasure, a supreme position, and a supreme state that every human being must attain. That is your true Self, your inner state, the Divine state, the state of Truth, and the state of Reality. Is the state you are living in now the Truth? No. You are living in a state that is not the Truth. That is why, when your body is hurt, you say, "I am hurt." You say this because you identify yourself with the body. But are you really hurt? No. Your body is hurt. Your awareness recognizes the pain of the body, while you remain beyond it, witnessing the body's suffering.
That is why, whether you believe in God or not, people speak of the conscience. Think about it. In movies, the conscience speaks. Does it speak to you as well? It should. Who is this conscience? Is it someone else? No. It is your own true Self. Your conscience is not different from you.
What does your conscience tell you? It never encourages evil. It always guides you toward what is good. It asks, "Why are you acting this way? Why are you doing such unjust deeds?" But you push it away because it keeps leading you toward the right path. If every person simply follows their conscience, that is enough. One who does not obey the conscience must then obey society, the law, and God. That Divine power itself is the conscience, and you are that Divine power.
Once you realize this power within, everything changes. When you discover the spiritual power within yourself and understand your higher state, righteousness awakens within you. Divine awareness arises. That Divine awareness expresses itself as boundless love, supreme wisdom, immense power, infinite bliss, perfect beauty, and profound peace. One who reaches this state sees the same Divine power in everyone. Such a person sees all people as one. When you see everyone as one, no evil thoughts arise. You desire only that everyone should live and prosper. Therefore, become your own true power. This power does not come from outside. It is your birthright. It already exists within you.
You suffer only because you have forgotten this power. The moment you realize it, you remain joyful always. Joy is the natural state of life.
Does the Guru suffer? Does the Guru feel sorrow? Pleasure and pain belong only to the body, not to the Guru. The Guru sees you, but not through the eyes alone. The eyes are only instruments. The Guru sees through awareness. When you travel in a car and it gets a flat tire, people say, "Oh, you got a flat." Did you get a flat? No. The car got a flat. When the car stops, people say, "You have stopped." Have you stopped? No. The car has stopped. The driver still remains. In the same way, I remain beyond all these things, unmoving. The body runs, but I do not run. The hands move, but I do not move. The mind becomes tired, but I never become tired. If I were to stop, blood circulation would stop and breathing would cease. When you reach this wonderful state of the true "I," why should you worry? Why should you suffer? I remain in that state and experience constant bliss. I know my own power. Why do you forget yours? The duty of the great sages is to remove your forgetfulness and help you remember your true Self. These Velvi ceremonies are not performed for the Guru. They are performed to remind you of who you truly are. When the Guru conducts a Velvi, live with purity at least for those 21 days, with purity of body, clothing, food, mind, and life force. If you live this way for twenty-one days, you will naturally wish to remain in that state forever. When the Velvi ends, you may think you have to return to ordinary life. Yet, many times, it becomes difficult to come down from that elevated state. At times, I cannot even open my eyes. Even when my eyes are open, I am not there. The eyes may see you, but I do not see you. I remain established elsewhere. My dear ones, just as the great sages and enlightened beings of the past support the orderly movement of the Universe, you too are meant to live as enlightened beings in this very age. You are Divine.

In the 22nd Velvi Discourse, Gurumahan talks about Tamil's Cosmic Origin and the Path to Realizing the Self.

The word "Tamil" is divided into five parts: *Ith + A + M + I + Zh*.
Tamil did not arise as an ordinary language. If Tamil is your mother tongue, know that your language originated from the very source of the Universe. Therefore, if you speak Tamil as your mother tongue and realize your true Self, you can realize yourself as the very power of the Universe. If you awaken to that boundless power within, is there anything in this world that you cannot accomplish? No. Certainly not.
But instead, by identifying yourself as the body, identifying yourself as the mind, and considering the knowledge gained through the five senses to be your true self, you cannot let go of attachment to the body. You cannot let go of attachment to the mind. You cannot transcend the three qualities of nature. When you transcend these three, you attain the wondrous Light. Tamil emerged from that Light. Therefore, Tamil declares that your true nature is Light. In the beginning, the entire Universe was within the Primordial Source. It remained completely absorbed in that Source. From that state of perfect absorption, the vast transformations of the Universe emerged. In this state, do not think that only you or only the Tamil people were born into this world. All races are one race. All people are manifestations of the Primordial Source of the Universe. Even before the first letter, "A" (Agaram), came into existence, the Primordial Divine already existed. Abiding in perfect stillness within Himself, the Primordial One awakened from within and manifested as Nature. That is why the Vedas distinguish the Divine, Nature, and Humanity. Humanity emerged from Nature, and every human being can once again unite with the Divine. Nature emerged from the Divine. Humanity emerged from Nature. Through the process of evolution, every human being can once again attain the Divine nature. Having realized the Divine nature within themselves, having awakened the Divine presence within, and having shared that Divine presence with everyone, the Tamil people became the pioneers of humanity. Take pride in belonging to the lineage that revealed this spiritual path to the world. First, believe that this extraordinary power exists within you. If you believe it exists, you will seek it. If you believe it does not exist, you will never search for it. Does it exist or not? It does.
It exists everywhere, in everything, and at all times.

In the 22nd Velvi discourse, Gurumahan speaks about the vital link between the Brahmaputra River, India's water security, and national unity.

"My beloved ones,
In this present time, water-related issues are becoming increasingly serious. Right now, we are only looking at disputes between two states, but a water crisis is going to confront the whole of India. Whenever a state builds a dam, conflicts arise between states. The Brahmaputra is a magnificent life-giving river, and much of India's water resources depend upon it. Yet even the Brahmaputra now faces a grave challenge. China is constructing a massive dam on the Brahmaputra. Will the water continue to flow into India? Water disputes between nations are waiting to unfold. My beloved Kambam Ramakrishnan has been explaining these issues in depth. You must prepare yourselves to address India's future challenges. If you ask whether this is truly a problem, I would say it is not. People have turned something that need not be a problem into one. He has presented a remarkable historical perspective on this issue, tracing it back to the nineteenth century. Water belongs to everyone. We often say that rivers should be nationalised. But according to the Constitution of India, the rivers are already under national authority. The Central Government has not exercised these constitutional provisions effectively. Decisions regarding whether dams should be built or not fall within the responsibility of the Central Government, not the individual state governments. If the Central Government examines this issue with fairness and rises above divisions such as Kerala, Tamil Nadu, the South, or the North, and instead thinks solely for the welfare of the people of India from a national perspective, this problem can certainly be resolved. Our political leaders undoubtedly possess tremendous capability. If, while in governance, they also attain true wisdom, the living knowledge of higher consciousness, they will solve these problems before they grow into greater crises. Today, countless people continue to suffer because of these unresolved issues. When these problems are resolved, not only will disputes among states come to an end, but India will also be prepared to face the greater national challenges that lie ahead. It is this India that is destined to bring about a profound transformation for the world. This is also a remarkable prediction of the Maya tradition. The Vedas declare: 'The world shall be guided by the noble path of Tamil.' This single statement is enough. The people who lived in the southern region of the lost continent of Lemuria possessed the capacity to guide the world. That is why I say:
'O Tamil, when you rise, the whole world shall rise with you.'

In the 22nd Velvi discourse, Gurumahan speaks about the inner Kamadhenu, the divine wish-fulfilling power present within every individual. He urges us to use this sacred power not merely to fulfill personal desires, but to hold the noble intention that the entire world may prosper, flourish, and live in harmony.

The date 21-12-2012 adds up to the number 11. That is why I regard 11 as a powerful number. If even 1%  of humanity gathers at 11:11 and sincerely thinks, “May the whole world prosper and live in well-being,” the world will certainly change for the better. Trust yourself, because the same cosmic power that exists throughout the Universe also exists within you. When you realize this truth and pray with complete faith in that inner power, you can attain what you seek. Do not ask only for your personal needs. Hold the noble thought that the entire world should prosper. When you cultivate noble thoughts, noble intentions, and righteous conduct, your aspirations can become reality.
The Ajna centre at the brow is like Kamadhenu, the celestial wish-fulfilling cow. Just as Kamadhenu grants whatever is asked of it, the life-force centered at Ajna has the power to fulfill sincere intentions. The awareness present there is not an ordinary sense perception but the higher awareness of life itself. You are not merely the physical body; you are the living force within it. When you concentrate on this life-force and make a clear resolve, you can bring your intentions into manifestation. When you transcend the Ajna centre and meditate at the Sahasrara, the crown centre, you unite with the radiant power of the Self. In that state, your thoughts gain immense creative power. Whatever you deeply impress upon the subconscious mind eventually takes form in life. Beyond ordinary thoughts, imagination, and dreams lies a profound power that creates, sustains, transforms, and heals.
Through Sahasrara meditation, realize the Self and access this divine creative force. The same power that created the body can also heal it. When you firmly establish a positive intention in that higher state of consciousness, it begins to manifest as reality. The sages of the past performed intense spiritual practices while holding the vision that the entire world should prosper and remain protected. This age is witnessing the fulfillment of many of those noble intentions.

In the 22nd Velvi Discourse, Gurumahan Talks About Mayan’s Prediction of the World Ending on 21-12-2012 and Explains How Collective Pure Thoughts Can Transform Destiny!

At present, the region that is now surrounded by the sea was once part of a vast continent called Lemuria. Even before the age of advanced civilizations, its people developed a remarkable civilization, established Sangams, and nurtured the Tamil language. That was the land where the Tamil people lived, the ancient people who are said to have existed before stone and soil came into being. From that land emerged Deva Sirpan Mayan. Long ages ago, through his extraordinary inner perception, he studied and calculated the cycles of nature and the Universe and developed a profound science. The word *Veda* means experiential knowledge, true knowledge, and unchanging knowledge. That unchanging knowledge took the form of the Pranava Veda. As a concise explanation of the Pranava Veda, Mayan also composed the remarkable text *Ainthiram*.
It was Mayan who presented Tamil to the world as an ancient and classical language. That same Mayan, whose ideas continue to influence the world today, studied the origin of the Universe, calculated the conditions of the planets, and reasoned that whatever appears must one day disappear. He also indicated a time for that disappearance. Today, Mayan’s calendar and his records are widely discussed among the nations of the world. Based on messages interpreted from his writings, several films such as *2012* and others were created. Many scientists began to investigate whether the events described in that calendar could actually occur in the world. Scientists who study the Sun, those who study the Moon, researchers of earthquakes, tsunamis, cyclones, newly discovered planets, and environmental conditions all came together and asked, “Could what he said be correct?”
Many of their studies appear to support those possibilities. The deadline he specified is not next year, it is this year. 21-12-12. When the three numbers are added together, they become nine. Does not nine always signify destruction? An ending? Therefore, all of you must hold elevated thoughts in your spiritual practice. The only transformation needed in this world is a transformation of thought. Thoughts are what created this world. In the beginning, that thought existed as nothingness. From that state of nothingness, thought arose within the Universe itself. That is why all religions say that God created the Universe through His own resolve or intention.
That source stirred through its own thought.
Vaishnavism explains this through the image of Lord Vishnu reclining upon the cosmic ocean. When He opens His eyes, creation begins.
When He closes them while resting on Anantha Sayanam, the entire Universe withdraws back into Him. The philosophy of the Universe itself is contained within Vaishnavism. All Vedas and religions speak of the same truth. The primordial reality that existed in stillness, being unto itself, generated a vibration through its own thought.
Mayan called that vibration *time*. In his cosmic grammar, the primordial substance became the substance of time. Time became form. Form became the sphere. That sphere expanded everywhere and appeared as the world and the Universe. This philosophy explains how the primordial source, hidden in darkness, moved through its own thought. That movement became the sound of Om. From that Omkara sound arose manifestation as light. Mayan also perceived and recorded, many long ages ago, that light emerged from light. The one who described the origin of the Universe also calculated and wrote about its end. If this prediction proves correct, then with 21-12-12 this Earth itself will cease to exist. Should we not change this? We must change even the destiny outlined by Mayan through our wisdom and pure thoughts. For although everything that appears will one day disappear, this is not the time for the Universe to come to an end. That is why countless rishis and siddhas participate in the Velvi. When all their guidance and counsel come together, they share one common purpose: this Universe must be protected. Who is there to protect it? We are here.
That is why the principle is: first become, then make others become.

Gurumahan describes the practice of calming the mind through breath awareness and becoming receptive to cosmic energy.

As the breath becomes slower, the waves of the mind also become calm. Where there is no breath, there is no mind. The Thirumandiram teaches this truth: where the mind exists, breath exists; where the mind is absent, breath is absent.
One way to steady and quiet the mind is through mantra chanting. However, when the mind becomes pure and stable, there is no need to chant mantras or control the breath. The key practice is to observe the natural breath. Without forcing inhalation or exhalation, we simply watch the breath as it flows on its own.
As we continue this observation, the breath gradually becomes subtle and turns inward. The movement of the breath reflects the movement of life itself. When the breath reaches a state of stillness, awareness moves closer to the life-force. By steadily observing the breath, the mind approaches a breathless state, where the mind and life-force unite.
When the mind goes beyond the senses and enters a state beyond thought, the brain opens to receive cosmic energy. This is why the experience is called the opening of the inner eye or the crown eye. At that moment, cosmic energy flows inward and spreads throughout the body, filling it with extraordinary power.

In the 21st Velvi Discourse, Gurumahan Calls for a Green Western Ghats to Revive the Earth.

When we prayed for the Earth to cool, it indeed cooled. This southwest region has received excellent rainfall, the kind that has not been seen for nearly half a century. The trees growing on the southwest mountains are the reason for this rainfall. More than the trees in the plains, the trees on the mountains attract clouds and bring rain.

Thenkailayam is known as Meru Mountain; it is the Southern Meru. The Himalayas serve as the central nerve system of the world, but the Western Ghats are more ancient than the Himalayas. Therefore, if the Western Ghats remain healthy and prosperous, the benefits will be immense. The Western Ghats run through Kongu Nadu. If Kongu Nadu rises, we can uplift the whole Earth. By creating greenery throughout the Western Ghats, we can bring abundant rainfall.

This region contains many important water reservoirs. Aliyar lies on one side, Thirumoorthi on another, Amaravathi nearby, and Sholayar further beyond. Many dams are located in these areas. If these reservoirs are to remain full, we need rainfall. If we want rainfall, we must grow trees in the mountains.

We have presented this afforestation project to senior government authorities, and they have assured us that they will examine the possibilities and take the necessary steps. Shall we plant trees in the mountains, or shall we uproot them? Which is easier? Planting trees is easy; removing them is difficult. Therefore, let us create a strong movement for afforestation in the mountains. Let Tamil Nadu prosper; through Tamil Nadu, let South India prosper; through South India, let India prosper; and through India, let the whole world prosper. Let us all unite in this Velvi and engage in noble social service guided by divine awareness.

In the 21st Velvi discourse, Gurumahan speaks about the power of the Atma and explains that any noble intention can manifest through Atma Shakthi.

We can achieve great things through the power of the soul. He cites Mahatma Gandhi, who united a fragmented India through his spiritual strength and brought about profound change. When people hold a clear and noble intention, transformation becomes possible. Major changes will take place in the world after 2012. Referring to scientific observations, the increasing methane emissions in the Arctic region are weakening ice formations and accelerating their melting. As more ice melts and flows into the oceans, sea levels rise, posing a threat to many coastal cities and nations. Scientists across the world have warned about these risks and concludes with a yogic principle: true wisdom lies in preventing a problem before it arises.
