If you view the Guru only through the physical form, you offer respect only to the body. But the Guru’s true purpose is far greater. Guru is the divine light who removes ego, awakens your true search, and guides you toward eternal truth. You often seek things that fade, but the Guru reveals what never perishes. That is why the Guru’s physical form is necessary only for a time. Beyond that, you must understand the deeper philosophy, divine purpose, and mission carried through that form. You must realize why that form appeared and what truth it came to awaken within you. These Velvis are conducted to help you understand this divine purpose. Many Velvis were created to protect humanity from natural disasters, while others were established for the upliftment of women. But today’s Velvi is unique, it is for wisdom seekers who are ready to consciously realize and live a divine life. Today, individuals struggle mentally, families face conflict, societies divide, nations remain restless, and the world suffers. Everywhere, humanity longs for one thing, peace. But what is the true path to peace? Gurumahan reveals that the answer lies within. Stand at the eyebrow center between your two eyes. More than a 1000 years of worship, even half a minute of true inner inquiry holds greater power. If you deeply examine the thoughts arising within you, you can gain the wisdom of a 1000 Gurus. This space of higher inquiry is the third eye, the eye of wisdom. Then you realize that peace has only one path, understanding. To understand the world, you must first understand yourself, because the world is not separate from you. To understand yourself, you must understand your body, mind, intellect. Yet beyond these three lies a deeper source, the hidden cause. The body is physical, the mind, intellect are subtle, but behind them all is the witness consciousness. Nothing happens without a cause. We often see only effects, while the cause remains hidden. That hidden cause is the reason for your birth. Yet many live only fulfilling worldly duties, raising families, and completing responsibilities without understanding why they were born. But your true duty does not end there. Your dharma is far greater. You are born not merely for worldly duties, but to uphold and protect dharma itself. If those meant to protect dharma walk away from it, who will preserve it? You speak of protecting Sathya Yuga, world welfare, and world peace, but have you first understood yourself and realized that you are Atma Swarupa? Have you understood that your true nature is Paranjothi, the Supreme Divine Light? Without this realization, people keep expecting others to understand them which creates disappointment, division, and disharmony. Because the mind sees differences, unity disappears. Where division exists, peace cannot remain. That is why the highest tapas is self-understanding. When you truly understand yourself, peace first awakens within. From that inner peace comes true tranquility, and that peace naturally radiates outward. You do not need to go anywhere to spread peace, your very presence becomes its source. Peace flows through your words, relationships, home, community, nation, and ultimately the world. Peace with the self becomes peace with others, and peace among individuals becomes peace for humanity. Thus, world peace begins with inner peace. Therefore, peace must not remain only an ideal spoken through words, it must become a living reality within. To attain it, you must go beyond the physical, mental, intellectual layers and journey inward toward the soul. When that inner peace is realized, it becomes Atma Shanti.

In the 17th Velvi Discourse, Gurumahan Reveals That When an Individual Protects Their Own Dharma, World Dharma Naturally Flourishes and Universal Peace Is Sustained.
The 17th Velvi is a profoundly significant one. The time has arrived to fully awaken and fulfill the divine purpose for which UPF was created, to plant the seed of world peace through the foundation of individual peace. That is why, in this 17th Velvi, when deep devotion, true understanding, unwavering faith, and MeiUnarvu unite as one, suffering and illness naturally fade away. Therefore, this devotion must live within us through heartfelt surrender, awareness, and unshakable faith. This devotion should not exist for just one moment or one day; it must remain within us always. In the same way, our breathing must rise beyond the ordinary. Every breath should carry faith. That is why it is said that even faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains. Whoever you place your trust and faith in, that very trust and faith will protect you. The trust and faith you have placed in the Guru have already become your shield. When you offered yourself in this morning’s Velvi, your sincere surrender became evident. When one looks beyond your outer form into your heart, faith is clearly present. Your faith in the Guru stands strong, yet your faith in yourself still trembles at times. That is why you must first believe in yourself. Do not allow anyone or anything to disturb your purpose. Fulfill the sacred duty for which you came into this world. You are an Atma Swarupa, the embodiment of the soul. Your dharma is to protect Sathya Yuga. Therefore, never distance yourself from this dharma, and never turn away from understanding your true self. Because when you step away from this path, you do not merely abandon your personal dharma, you also neglect the greater dharma you are meant to offer the world. When you fail in your dharma, the world itself begins to drift from its dharma. When the head of a family fails in dharma, the family loses its righteous path. When the leader of a society fails in dharma, society itself begins to fall. Likewise, when national leaders or religious leaders fail in their dharma, the people who follow them also lose their way. When those chosen to lead become corrupted, all order begins to collapse. That is why, for a nation to remain strong, its leader must remain righteous. For a nation to flourish, society must remain righteous. For society to stand firm, families must remain righteous. And for families to remain righteous, each individual must first stand rooted in righteousness.

In the 17th Velvi Discourse, Gurumahan Reveals the Responsibility of UPF Wisdom Teachers to First Transform Themselves, Guide Humanity Through True Spiritual Living, and Awaken the Hidden Rishi Consciousness Within Every Soul.
A person’s discipline shapes that person’s life; that is true spirituality. Spirituality does not mean abandoning family. It does not mean running away from society. It does not mean giving up one’s profession. It does not mean escaping from the experiences of the five senses. True spiritual life means realizing the truth that exists within oneself, loving all other living beings just as one loves oneself, and living a life that allows one to exist in harmony and joy with all beings.
That is why one must live a spiritual life. Spirituality is not merely speaking about it or listening to it. Spiritual experience is neither something spoken nor something heard; it is something to be lived and experienced. Therefore, even while living a family life, one should not run away from the pleasures and pains that arise within it. Whether joy or sorrow comes, one must accept both and lead an ideal household life. If we truly want to reform this world through the individual, the family, society, and the nation, then whom must we first reform? We must first reform ourselves.
That is why my beloved wisdom teachers, who guide people by teaching philosophy exactly as it is, must understand this truth and act upon it. The noble guardians who protect divinity must also understand this truth and live by it. Therefore, both wisdom teachers and trustees of UPF hold a great responsibility.
Today, where are you all seated? You are seated in an elevated position. Because of that, whatever people in lower positions do may remain unnoticed, but whatever is done here becomes visible. Such is true wisdom. Whatever pioneers think, whatever thoughts leaders express, those thoughts spread throughout the Universe and enter the minds of all who are capable of receiving and resonating with them.
That is why many people in humanity live only for the body. They live only for physical comfort. Others rise beyond that and live for the mind. Still others rise higher and live for intellectual fulfillment. But my beloved ones, you are yogis. You are wise beings. Your birth is a magnificent birth. Yours is a noble birth because you do not lack food to eat, clothes to wear, shelter to live in, or knowledge to gain. You already possess all these. Yet your fulfillment does not end with these outer forms of completeness. This fulfillment must transform into spiritual fulfillment. That is why you were not born merely for the pleasures of the five senses. You came here to attain the state of supreme bliss. Within you lies hidden the nature of the Rishis. A Divine treasure remains buried within you. The purpose of a Guru is to reveal that hidden truth, uncover that divine essence, and bring forth the greatness concealed within you.

In the 16th Velvi Discourse, Gurumahan Reveals the Purpose of Your Birth and the Divine Call to Awaken, Rise, and Protect the World!
Let’s understand the purpose and protect this world. The world should continue to exist for many more thousands of years. For that to happen, what are we doing today? If we want a better tomorrow, what should we do now? We must practice meditation with deep focus. Those who are meant for it will naturally be drawn to it, because your birth is special, Guru knows this.
Understand the purpose of your life. You have come to this Earth again and again across time, and the Guru is aware of this. With love, the Guru calls you: “My dear ones, come. Use this powerful Kundalini energy to protect the world. You have begun seeking this divine source for that purpose. If you have doubts, seek answers and clarity. You have always been connected with me, not just in this life, but in every life.”
Now I call upon all of you who share this connection. Let us come together and take responsibility to protect and preserve this world.

In the 16th Velvi discourse, Gurumahan explains the deeper essence of astrology, not merely as a tool for worldly predictions, but as a sacred science that reveals the destined moment when the soul reunites with its ultimate source Paranjothi.
Astrology works when you speak from the place of Divine Light (ஜோதி + இடம் = ஜோதிடம்). That is its true seat, the center of creation. Without selfishness, if you hold a horoscope in awareness at the eyebrow center and think of a person, you can clearly understand his zodiac position, stages, and the situations he will face. My dear astrologers, when you predict from the eyebrow center, your readings will not fail.
Astrology is not meant for finding jobs, partners, wealth, or worrying about tomorrow’s events. It exists to guide a person toward the Light, showing how and when one will enter that Divine state and become one with it. It is a precise system created to help you recognize and reach that inner Light, and its calculations do not fail.
Ancient Nadi astrology arose from this wisdom. From SukhaBrahmaRishi and many other sages, they calculated and recorded that at the very moment a life enters the mother’s womb, the positions of the sun, moon, planets, and stars determine the path of that life. From the time of Buddha, this knowledge was used to shape great disciples, even enlightened beings. This sacred science was born in Tamil Nadu, in Bharat. It is a cosmic art, a true science, and one among the 64 divine arts that are destined to rise again in this holy land.

In the 16th Velvi discourse, Gurumahan explains that through Kundalini initiation, MeiUnarvu (true awareness), one can learn to heal the body by consciously directing inner awareness and energy.
My dear ones, your responsibility is waiting, and it must begin within you. Start by being loving toward yourself. Before extending love to others, learn to offer it to your own self. Care for your body with kindness, and wherever you feel pain, do not react with anger instead, gently place your hand on that spot with awareness.
True healing is not merely about taking medicine; வைத்தியம்( வைத்து+ இயம்புவது) or treatment of disease with the following healing concept. Place to heal, object that enables healing and Aim. (இடம், பொருள், ஏவல்)
Focus on the Ajna, the point between the eyebrows - The Place, aim the object MeiUnarvu there. From that centered state, issue a calm inner command to the body. For example, ask the affected part to relax, to remain at ease, and not to disturb the natural flow within. When this command arises from Agnya-commanding center, through MeiUnarvu, the body responds, and relief follows.
This is a subtle method of healing. Many may think it is some kind of mantra or mystery, but it is simply the power of awareness and intention. However, begin only with yourself do not try to direct others first. If there is discomfort in your body, place your hand there, focus your MeiUnarvu at the eyebrow center, and let the awakened inner energy guide your command.
Words alone are not enough, awareness is essential. Just as a pen cannot write without ink, intention cannot work without true inner presence. That “ink” is your awareness (MeiUnarvu) itself. When you connect to that inner presence and give your command, it becomes effective. What you hold firmly in MeiUnarvu begins to take shape in reality.

In the 16th Velvi Discourse, Gurumahan Calls Out: Will You Stand as a Mere Witness, or Rise and Walk the Path of Dharma with the Guru?
Those who stood firmly with Gurumahan in the Velvi that safeguards the world came without regard for time or circumstance. Night after night, they circled the Velvi hut and protected it with devotion. In ancient times, Sage Vishwamitra performed this very Velvi for the peace of the world and the welfare of all beings. What he conducted outwardly was the external Velvi. Though Vishwamitra was a Brahma Gnani, he performed inner and outer Yajna. Through the inner Yajna, he realized Atma Gnana. Through the outer Yajna, he sustained sacred practices and purified the environment, removing all impurities. He knew that when this Velvi was completed, negative forces could not survive and all negativities would dissolve. Aware that unseen asuric tendencies might try to disrupt it, he sought the support of Rama from King Dasharatha, and with Rama and Lakshmana, he carried out the Yajna and protected the world. In every age, Rishis, Brahma Gnanis, and Atma Gnanis continue to fulfill their responsibilities. Their vision embraces the entire cosmos not a single community, nation, or even just this Earth. This Earth you see is like a tiny fig, my dear ones; when seen from the center of the Universe, it appears as small as an atom. How then do we protect it? Only by preserving its surroundings can it truly be safeguarded. From this sacred land, aligned with the cosmic center, the world has been protected. Therefore, those born in Bharat are truly blessed. From this land arose the great beings who uphold the Universe Alwars, Nayanmars, Siddha Purushas and their energies continue to exist even now. Whoever turns inward with deep devotion and remembrance can feel their subtle presence and receive their grace. Even in this Velvi, many Rishis have expressed diverse powers and guided numerous Siddha healers. Each has imparted what is needed, including sacred methods of wisdom. From Shukabrahmarishi to Kagabhujandar, to Vishwamitra and countless Siddha Purushas they do not come for one alone; they come for all. You belong to the lineage of these Rishis. That Divine seed already lives within you. You who are born in this land are the dharmic ones destined to protect the world. Guard your dharma. Fulfill your duty. Today, Gurumahan begins his mission. Whoever joins him will unite with him inwardly, and together we will protect the world. Who bears this responsibility? We do. I will protect it. Whether you choose to join or not, even a single individual can uphold this work. I stand performing this Velvi and safeguarding the world. Will you remain a spectator, or will you step forward and walk the path of dharma with the Guru? Tell me, my dear Rishis who among you will join in this dharmic path? This is not a battlefield that requires weapons. Yet it is a different kind of war. The only weapon needed here is love. No matter how much hardship arises, I will teach you the strength to accept it with maturity. I offer you the weapon of love. With it, you can move not only across this world but throughout the entire Universe. No one can stop you. No one has ever been able to stop this great Maharishi, this Gurumahan, this Supreme Light. You are marked with his seal as Rishis, can anyone stop you? Can anyone stop Shiva? Can anyone stop the devotees of Shiva? In the same way, none can stand in your way.

In the 16th Velvi discourse, Gurumahan reveals that love is the supreme weapon that transforms the wicked into the good, and elevates the good into the powerful.
Why were you and the Guru born? What is the secret behind your birth? My wondrous Rishis! We were not born for mere pleasure. We did not come into this world to indulge in the five senses. For such experiences, you have already passed through countless births, and in those lives you realized the Divine. Having attained that state, you made a sacred resolve: “O Supreme One, whenever you descend to the Earthly realm, we too shall come. We will serve you, uphold your purpose, and stand aligned with your dharma.”
In accordance with that vow, in every age, whenever humanity faces danger, to protect it, you take many forms and alongside those forms, you too are born again and again in human bodies. In this present birth, a yuga is drawing to a close. That is why, even now, we have manifested to safeguard this Earth and this Universe. For we are the very ones who created it would we then seek to destroy it? We are not born to destroy those who destroy.
In earlier ages, the purpose was to protect the good and eliminate the wicked. But in this age, the purpose has evolved to protect the good, transform the wicked into the good, and elevate the good into the powerful. Therefore, when our hearts refuse to label anyone as evil, their negativity cannot touch us, and they too will gradually turn away from harmful actions.
See the world with compassion. Look upon every human and every living being with kindness. With a loving vision, one conquers oneself. With that same loving vision, one conquers the world.
In this age, love is my weapon. With this weapon of love, with the force of compassion, we have taken form now to transform this world into one united whole.

In the 16th Velvi discourse, Gurumahan reveals how the sacred vibrations of the Rishis in Thirumurthi Hills awaken the Atma, bring clarity to the intellect, strengthen the body, and guide seekers toward liberation under the Guru’s grace.
While we are still alive, we make use of and protect the homes of those noble people who dedicated their lives to their community, society, and nation. Each time we visit such places, we begin to feel their elevated state of being, and the subtle vibrations of where they lived naturally draw us in. In the same way, we should not look at Thirumoorthi Hills as something ordinary. We should not think it is just a place where water flows, where we can bathe in a waterfall, or where Panchalingas are simply present. This is a sacred land that reveals a profound spiritual truth.
What does Panchalinga mean? The Supreme Divine energy, which exists as a subtle force within the waterfall, has manifested itself as the five elements. These five elemental energies take form as the Linga, representing the subtle, formless reality. These are expressed as the five Lingas—Prithvi (earth), Appu (water), Theyu (fire), Vayu (air), and Akasha (space). In this very place, within this waterfall, the Panchalinga that embodies the five elements has been established.
The Siddha Purushas, great Maharishis, and enlightened beings who lived here, even after leaving their physical bodies and merging with the supreme light, continue to remain present. Whoever comes to this land, whoever approaches this hill and performs penance with focus on them, begins to experience their subtle presence within. That energy rises through the crown center and reveals the true nature of the Atma. As it reaches the eyebrow center, it brings clarity to the intellect. When it flows down through the body via the five elements, the body itself begins to experience the strength they attained. That is why this hill is extraordinary. From this hill, powerful spiritual waves will once again arise to protect the world. This world is meant to become one united realm of harmony. All people across the world belong to one human family. The force that governs the entire Universe is one, and everything that has emerged from it is also one. We too are part of that oneness. What was once experienced as the individual “I” has now expanded into the collective “we.” So, it is no longer just “I”; it has become “we.” The Guru carries the responsibility of protecting this collective “we.” In fulfilling that responsibility, who will safeguard the world from destruction? Who can perceive such destruction? It is not something easily known, yet once it is realized, one cannot remain passive. To protect not only humanity but the Earth itself from such destruction, this Velvi was performed.
My dear ones, the unseen forces and the five elements themselves supported this act. They have now granted the time to conclude this message. Therefore, my dear Rishis, you share a deep connection with this land. That is why only those destined to come here are able to come. Only those who truly belong to the Guru can reach Him. Those who have no connection or bond with me cannot come to see me. I am not present only in this birth; I remain with you in every birth. In every lifetime, I come along with you, and my duty is to guide you to the shore of liberation. I do not strive to reach the shore for myself; my purpose is to lead you there. This is the responsibility I fulfill as a Guru.

In the 16th Velvi discourse, Gurumahan asks are we not Rishis, seekers of true wisdom, who through awakened Kundalini and the opening of the inner third eye can realize and experience the hidden divine energies of the Thirumoorthi Hills?
Who is a Rishi? One who values wisdom (Gnana) is a Rishi, and one who seeks to attain wisdom is a Rishi. Just look at yourselves. On this Sunday, you all had many tasks and could have gone to many places. Yet, leaving everything aside, even when there was heavy rain, you chose to be here.
From within, I also wondered, “When the unseen forces are asked to bless people, they offer such wonderful blessings in the form of rain. As if responding to my request, asking whether you would show some compassion to allow Gurumahan to come out, there has been a brief pause in the heavy downpour. Perhaps there will be another pause for Guru to return within, who knows?"
It is not that there is no good person; rather, we are all good people. And so, we have protected the Earth. From this very period, we have taken steps to safeguard the Earth. Do you realize that you have protected it? Certainly you have. Just as you have come here like Rishis to perform these Velvis, you have conducted these three-day Penance.
What is the purpose of a Rishi? It is to realize the truth of knowing thy Self, to understand the philosophy of the world, and to grasp the Divine truth within nature. It is to awaken and experience the Kundalini energy within, and to feel the state that grants supreme bliss. In such a state, we have all gathered here together, seated in a truly wonderful and sacred atmosphere.
Today is truly a good day for the world, a day of awakening. The states that existed in the previous fifteen velvis have now transformed, and in this sixteenth velvi, an extraordinary atmosphere has emerged. What is the reason? This Thirumoorththi hill itself is a wondrous one. It is not an ordinary hill. To the ordinary eye, it may appear as just a stone. But when a devotee looks at a simple stone, he sees it as God. For the one who sees it as Divine, it reveals the very form and presence of God. In the same way, this hill is not ordinary. If we see it merely as a hill made of rocks, soil, and vegetation, then it remains ordinary. But when one goes beyond that and prays, “O hill, reveal your wonder to me. Show me the hidden powers within you. I cannot see you with these physical eyes. My Guru has given me the third eye (wisdom eye). Through that wisdom, come within me and make me realize,” whoever descends to this hill, focuses on it, holds it within their thoughts, and meditates upon it—within that contemplation, an inner awareness arises. In that awareness, a Divine light appears. And in the radiance of that light, each person can experience the extraordinary energies present within this hill.
