Santhosam Podcast: Guiding Light of Spiritual Wisdom

Great sages have emerged from India, and while many things may change, the essence of the rishis remains with us. Numerous nations honor our Sanatana Dharma, which embodies eternal values that are steadfast and cannot be erased. This ancient wisdom teaches us the importance of truthfulness, a principle that remains relevant even today. Regardless of the ages that pass, Dharma remains constant. It is our duty to uphold and live by these values. There is a distinction between dhaanam and dharmam; dhaanam often seeks something in return, while dharmam is about the pure joy of giving without expectation. By living a Dharmic life, we surrender the outcomes of our actions—both good and bad—to the divine. We are souls beyond the labels of saintly or sinful actions, having transcended the cycle of birth and death.

When we pray for others, our own needs are naturally fulfilled. Those who have faith will not be deceived, and those with self-confidence will not seek help from others. Pray for peace in India and around the globe; it shall elevate your spirit. Believe in your essence as Atma. Approach your actions with the understanding that Atma resides within you. Trust thyself.

The God we were introduced to in our youth, whether through form or mantra, should be contemplated as divine vibration at our eyebrow center. By focusing on this divine resonance and meditating on the divine light, we can unite with it. We must regard God with profound love and devotion, ultimately embodying divine qualities. As we contemplate the Universe, our hearts expand infinitely. Our minds should be expansive, not narrow. Rise in intellect and spread in love. As we bless the universe, we receive blessings in return. By blessing the world, we are, in essence, blessing ourselves. We are interconnected with the world. Our thoughts shape reality. To achieve global peace, let us continuously extend our blessings to the world.

India is on the verge of becoming a self-sufficient nation and a shining example for others around the globe. An environment conducive to this transformation is being cultivated. Our esteemed Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi, has laid the groundwork for the preservation and elevation of Indian culture and traditions. As Indians, we are fortunate to have such a leader, driven by our collective desire to safeguard our nation.
In today's fast-paced world, where many struggle to find time for family, we are now focusing on national development. Self-discipline enhances our confidence, and true change must originate from within. Personal growth begins with self-reflection. The philosophy of India teaches us that the vast universe operates within each of us. The same supreme energy that governs the sun, moon, planets, and earth resides within us. This realization is profound. Undoubtedly, India will serve as a model for other nations in terms of social progress. The concept of the Atma was revealed to the world by India's great sages and saints. As descendants of these remarkable figures, we possess the same potential. Let us embrace this truth and amplify our capabilities.

At the planet's core, volcanic activity is triggered by fiery changes, while the expansion of land results in earthquakes. The five fundamental elements—air, fire, water, land, and space—are experiencing significant transformations. With rapid scientific advancements, humanity has launched considerable amounts of dust into space. While this dust offers some protection against harmful UV rays, it simultaneously blocks essential sunlight necessary for the growth and immunity of living organisms. This disruption contributes to an increase in diseases, and even the efficacy of medicines is altered due to environmental shifts. Medications lose their effectiveness, their shelf life diminishes, and they can become more harmful than beneficial. Consequently, there is a surge in both physical and mental health issues. It is crucial that we take action now to protect nature and reverse the tide of these ailments.

Let all unwanted past records be buried deep and removed from the mind. Unnecessary records often arise in the mind, and those memories of the past, all those painful memories, bring back the same pain again. At that moment, the mind experiences pain and sorrow. In thoughts about the future, based on what has happened, there is worry about how things might unfold, imagining things that haven’t happened yet as if they will.

Gurumahan blesses us that the records inscribed in the mind, let them all be erased. Let all the thoughts in the mind be wiped away. May the mind attain clarity. May the mind become one with the divine and let it be fully engraved in the divine.

The natural world around us is composed of matter and energy. While we observe numerous physical objects in our environment, the fundamental essence of all matter remains constant and is not visible to the naked eye. Each form of matter is linked to a specific energy, often referred to as Shakthi, which manifests outwardly. The energy contained within matter can be perceived externally. 

For instance, a lamp or diya produces light, showcasing itself as light energy. This energy can change forms and carry out various functions. However, when there are discrepancies in these transformations, it can lead to unforeseen disasters in nature. 

In our personal lives, when our expectations diverge from reality, we often feel discontent, as our minds struggle to reconcile the two. This principle also holds true for natural disasters; when there is a disruption in energy transformation, calamities can occur.

Good Thoughts, Good Outcomes
நல்ல எண்ணம், நல்ல விளைவிற்கு வித்தாகும் 

Everything that has occurred is for a greater good. There is no harm devoid of goodness, nor is there goodness without its share of harm. This world is woven with both. Hence, if we embrace the goodness in what has happened, the future will surely unfold with goodness as well. Find the merit in what has happened. 

Reflect on the circumstances that existed for yourself, your family and your business/ work in the past year. Consider what were the negative and positive aspects in it. Eliminate the negatives and focus on the positives. Because life is shaped by both these factors. 

Gurumahan encourages us to maintain a positive mindset during our journey, for example. It’s natural to have contradicting thoughts in the mind. When going on a journey, it’s normal to wonder if the vehicle is working well and if we will reach our destination safely. By letting go of that thought, you must trust that this journey will be a smooth and pleasant one.

As you travel, you will do so with safety and security, on the path and in the vehicle, in every direction—forward, backward, sideways, and all around. You and your fellow travellers, along with the driver and conductor, will happily reach your destination safely and on time. 

Good thoughts lead to good actions. Because what you think inside eventually manifests as actions outside. Gurumahan blesses us that by thinking good, speaking good, and doing good, only good things will manifest. Let all else fade away. From this day forward, may only goodness prevail.

In Vaishnavism, “Divine Vision” (Iraiyin Dharisanam) refers to the spiritual experience of perceiving the divine presence. This is particularly significant on a special day known as Vaikunta Ekadashi. Ekadashi falls on the 11th day of a 21-day worship period, and on this day, we focus on the 11th Dhvaaram (gate) called Turiyam (crown chakra) during meditation. By staying in Turiyam, one reaches the state of Turiyadheenam (above the top of the head) and attains the state of Supreme Reality (paramporul) or the universal consciousness that exists beyond this physical world. 

In Shaivism, during the 10-day worship period, if one experiences the dharshan (glimpse) of Shiva that manifested on the Thiruvadhirai star, they can receive His blessings and benefits. Same way, in Vaishnavism, Vishnu manifested on the Thiruvonam star. 

Guru Mahan delivers this satsang on the day of Thiruvadhirai. He explains how Thiruvadhirai is celebrated in Shaiva temples in a grand manner. 

This festival is celebrated, especially in Thiruvarur (Aaroor) and Chidambaram (Chitrambalam). Thiruvarur represents the Earth element (mann thathuvam) in the five-element philosophy (pancha bootha thathuvam). Everyone born here is considered divine and noble. Same way Chidambaram represents the Air element (aagaya thathuvam). Just living here can lead to liberation. The temples here are built based on the philosophies of both the earth and the sky.

The purpose is to observe a fast for nine days leading up to today(Aarudhra), with the ultimate aim of fully attaining the divine state. This refers to the divine resolve — the determination to attain divine wisdom. If the resolve is pure, undoubtedly, what is sought will be achieved many times over, in a much better form. This worship is done for all 10 days. 

Similarly, on Vaikunta Ekadashi, by closing the 10 gates (dhvaaram) and focusing on the 11th gate that is the crown chakra, one has to meditate on the divine presence of the Lord residing there. On this day, the methods to attain the state of Brahmam through the 11th gate were followed, leading to the realization of the divine.

Gurumahan blesses that You will attain whatever you wish for. Everything that has occurred so far remains in your experience. Since you consider everything that has happened as good, everything that happens to you from now on will be good as well. 

You are not an ordinary person. You have forgotten the power within you. You thought you were just the body. Seeing the changes in the body, you became concerned, thinking that you too are changing. You considered yourself as merely mental power, as intellectual strength. Yet, are you not the supreme power, the very source of creation itself? Trust in yourself.

All change happens through you. Personal transformation is crucial because through your change, the entire world transforms. You and the world are not separate; you are the world. Realise that You are the soul, and within you, that soul manifests as love, wisdom, power, bliss, beauty, peace, and truth, in its divine essence. You will realize that you are the soul endowed with these divine qualities.
