Santhosam Podcast: Guiding Light of Spiritual Wisdom

Incarnation, or avadhaaram, refers to divine consciousness taking form in the earthly realm — “avam” meaning above and “dharam” meaning below. Why would a being from a higher plane descend into this world? One way to understand it is that such a descent helps uplift humanity. When we hold this view, we see that a greater potential expresses itself through noble individuals, guiding others toward a better path.
But this isn’t limited to a single person — every one of us carries a divine spark. Not only the Guru, each one of us is an incarnation. So trust yourself. Don’t place blind faith in anyone, not even Guru. Whatever Guru teaches, examine it with your own intellect. Accept only what aligns with your understanding. Even if the Guru's words are true because of intense penance or spiritual power, don’t believe it for that reason alone. If something doesn’t resonate with your reasoning, set it aside.
Have confidence in your own vicharam — your thoughtful inquiry. That inner clarity, confidence and faith will show you the way.

In our sacred land of India, the essence of Guru Dharma seems to have drifted away, even finding its way toward China, while fading from its birthplace. Yet, whenever adharma rises, the eternal truth remains: a force is born to restore dharma. Whether or not Kalki has appeared, I feel that I myself have taken birth from this very ground of penance to uphold dharma. My life is dedicated to this purpose, and this dedication is my vairagya.

During my underground penance, I encountered experiences beyond ordinary understanding. In today’s scientific age, people trust only what they can see or hear. But there exists another realm beyond the senses—without faith, it may sound like mere stories. I have reflected deeply on how to share these experiences with people so their lives may be uplifted. Only through penance, through enduring different conditions, and through deep contemplation can one reach the highest states of consciousness.

Moksha is liberation, the true heaven. It is freedom from the mind and from the pull of the senses. When we are no longer controlled by our senses, we discover inner bliss and liberation. Moksha is not something to be attained after death—it can be realized while living in this body, in this waking state. That is why I have come: to show the way to moksha here and now.
To reach this state, the mind must be pure. Purity of mind means never causing sorrow to others. This is the essence of love and compassion. Bondage and love are not the same. For example, if your child climbs a ladder to reach what they need, but we stop them halfway out of fear they might fall, that is bondage. Bondage clouds the intellect and weakens the childs's courage, bravery, and confidence. True duty must be done without expectation. Parents often educate their children hoping they will support them later in life, but this is expectation. In reality, each soul chooses its parents for a purpose, and it is our responsibility to nurture the child according to their innate talents and intellect. We must constantly examine whether our intentions toward our children are pure.

Every person enters this world with the gift of happiness within them. Yet, many lives are burdened with sorrow, and too often people leave this world without ever experiencing the joy they deserve. Hunger, inequality, and divisions of money, caste, religion, and race weigh heavily on humanity. To rise above these barriers, we must recognize the presence of one God—the divine energy that lives in each of us. When we see this truth, we understand that the harvest of one land should nourish all lands, and no nation should suffer while another thrives.
Conflicts, like Tamil Nadu’s struggle with Karnataka for water, remind us how easily we claim ownership over nature’s blessings. But the five elements—earth, water, fire, air, and sky—were given to all humanity to sustain life. Instead of drawing boundaries that cause pain, we must learn to use our wisdom to harmonize them. Even if rain fails, Tamil Nadu can still flourish if we honor and manage these elements with care.
Pollution and the depletion of the ozone layer warn us of the fragile state of our planet. Science offers solutions, but beyond science lies a deeper power: the invisible divine energy within each human being. When awakened, this energy can bring balance to the five elements, heal divisions, and restore harmony to both nature and human life.

Note : The year 1993 marked a critical period for the ozone layer, characterized by severe depletion. Through Montreal protocol, the hole in the ozone is on track to be completely recovered by 2040 across most of the world and will fully bounce back by 2045 over the Arctic and by 2066 over the Antarctic.

“Sarve Jano Sukhino Bhavantu” — may all beings live in happiness. This timeless invocation reflects the essence of India’s spiritual heritage. Across the ages, Maharishis, incarnations, prophets, siddhars, and saints have illuminated the path of truth, seeking not personal gain but the welfare of humanity. Their teachings were seeds of wisdom, sown to awaken the inner bliss that lies within every soul.
The sacred texts remind us that joy (Santhosham) is the natural culmination of spiritual realization, and they conclude with the eternal affirmation Om Tat Sat — all is Brahman, the ultimate reality. Adi Shankaracharya, through his profound vision, declared Jagath Nityai — the world is sustained by truth. For a century, he dedicated his body and mind to spreading Sanatana Dharma across the land, emerging from the divine light (Jothi) and returning to it once his mission was fulfilled.
Today, that same light shines as Paranjothi, guiding India once more toward becoming a blessed nation. From this land, the eternal truth must radiate outward, enabling humanity to realize peace, happiness, and contentment. Such realization forms the foundation for the vision of one world, one administration — a unified existence rooted in dharma and harmony. It is for this higher purpose that the great penance was undertaken.

Humanity should rise and live in peace, contentment, and joy. People should understand one another, with patience and forbearance as the foundation of life. Universal Peace Foundation (UPF) walks this sacred path, working for the welfare of all, uniting souls each year in the sacred Margazhi month, where meditation deepens and inner light awakens.
Within the pyramid, the Guru radiates wisdom.  The disciples are encouraged to follow purity of body and mind, uphold vow of brahmacharya for 21 days, to realise the stillness where truth resides.
Just as a family prays together to heal a child’s illness, so too can humanity join in collective meditation— focusing on the third eye and crown, sending forth prayers of compassion and hope.
With pure intention, these prayers rise to the Universal Power, manifesting healing, dissolving disasters, and restoring balance to the world.

Human beings deserve a good life. With the noble aim of attaining inner peace, Dharma, and contentment, many Maharishis and prophets of Bharath devoted themselves to penance, dedicating their lives to the welfare of humanity. People often say we are living in Kali Yuga—a time marked by sorrow and little joy. In this age, those who toil physically do not receive fair wages, those with intellect are denied opportunities suited to their skills, and politicians who genuinely wish to serve humanity are kept from positions of influence.
In every sphere, whether it is physical labor, intellectual pursuit, wisdom, or financial effort, the returns are inadequate. That is why people pray for the end of Kali Yuga and the dawn of a better age. In devotion, they cry to God, asking when their sorrows will end. They wonder: what must be done for Kali to pass and Satya Yuga to be born? Will someone come to bring this transformation?
I ask myself—why can’t I take up this responsibility? Why can’t I dedicate myself to removing people’s sorrows and living for humanity? Through sacrifice, many can find peace. By penance, good souls will calm their minds, discover divinity in the world, and live with hope. Those who work hard physically should believe they will one day receive fair wages. Those with intellect should trust they will find rightful opportunities and peace.

Today, however, hunger, conflict, and greed dominate. True wisdom lies in using intellect to discern right from wrong and acting accordingly. When wisdom and politics unite, peace flourishes. In ancient times, kings were guided by selfless Raja Gurus, and prosperity followed—rains blessed the land, and people thrived. Now, only farmers await rain, but unless the earth is cooled and nourished, harvests fail and hunger persists. Spiritual truth cannot reach a hungry person; first, hunger must be removed.
Despite abundance, poverty and begging remain visible. If India’s wisdom and politics were to unite again, harnessing the nation’s harvest, hunger across the world could be eradicated. In the past, this union made the land heavenly; it must happen again for peace to return. Even one pure-hearted person can invoke rain, but today we lack the purity to pray wholeheartedly for world peace.
Traditionally, worship was of two kinds: Paramartha Pooja—temple worship for the welfare of the world, and Atmartha Pooja—home worship for personal needs. Temples were never meant for selfish prayers. Penance done only for personal gain has little value. Transforming selfish desires into selfless prayers for world peace not only uplifts humanity but also brings inner peace to the individual.

Every action has a consequence, yet the Bhagavad Gita teaches us to perform our duty without attachment to results. True duty is carried out with a clear intellect, free from expectation, and such action naturally yields fruits. Penance, when done selflessly, purifies the minds of people and plants noble thoughts in their hearts. Our ancestors showed us how to live in harmony and happiness, and India was once revered as a Jnana Bhoomi—a land of wisdom—where people lived in bliss, their bodies merely aging but their spirit vibrant.
The sages in Gurukulams taught the principles of body, world, and God, guiding humans to live as divine beings. When goodness prevailed, the world itself was auspicious. But as the number of virtuous people declined, corrupt rulers arose, and suffering followed. Wisdom means discarding harmful traits, nurturing good ones, and attaining clarity through reflection (vicharam). This wisdom manifests as divine vibrations felt at the Ajna Chakra and deeper centers.
Sanatana Dharma teaches that the macrocosm exists within the microcosm—the same universal power operates within the human body. To realize this truth (Tat Tvam Asi) is to know that one’s essence is the Atma, beyond body, mind, and intellect. The Gayatri mantra affirms that the Atma transcends the three worlds, and those who realize it speak words of truth that become the Vedas. India was once home to many such realized souls—Maharishis and Mahaans.

To awaken people to the value of meditation (Velvi), I willingly bear this pain. In these times, even if God himself were to appear, we would still demand proof of his presence. That is the nature of this age. While sages sit in quiet corners immersed in meditation, world leaders ought to seek their wisdom and spread awareness of the dangers looming over humanity. All around us, countless people suffer without food, clothing, or shelter—how can they ever find peace in such conditions? This is why penance is essential in Kali Yuga. Why should we not also take it up? Everyone must reflect in this way, for this penance exists to guide us through these troubled times.
