Santhosam Podcast: Guiding Light of Spiritual Wisdom

In the 25th velvi discourse during the fulfillment of the penance, Gurumahan speaks about his purpose after Self realization, give more clarity on fear and misconception about Kundalini Awakening, and what should a person do with the supreme Kundalini Shakthi!

There are many secrets known to the Siddha Purushas, sages and yogis. Come and sit within this pyramid, the Pranavalayam. The moment you sit here and enter deep silence, you can reach the Null Point. In that silence, everything exists.

Beyond the waking state, the dream state and the state of deep sleep, there exists a great power- a Supreme Power. Is that power present only within me? No. It exists within every one of us. It exists within everyone.

By Divine Grace, I came to realise and use that power. But if I have realised it, should it benefit only me? The whole world should benefit from it.

At the age of nineteen, my spiritual quest reached fulfilment. I attained the state I had been seeking. I experienced inner peace. I knew what had to be known, and I attained the supreme bliss that had to be attained.

At that point, I felt:

“I have attained what I came to attain. What further purpose does this physical body have for me?”

But then another thought arose within me:

“If all the sages attain supreme bliss, close their eyes and remain absorbed within themselves, who will remove the suffering and sorrow of millions of people?”

That one thought became a challenge. And from that moment, it became the purpose of my life.

Swami Vivekananda, whom I regard as my inner spiritual Guru, carried a great vision for humanity. And my Guru, Gnanavallal Paranjothi Mahan, who touched and enabled me to experience Jnana directly, gave this  mission:

“The day spirituality and politics unite, world peace will become possible.”

So the question arose: How can humanity be united? How can world peace become a reality?

One way was to take the wisdom of Kundalini  to the people. But thirty years ago, even speaking about Kundalini was difficult.

When I told people,

“There is a power called Kundalini within you,” they would ask: “Where is it, Guru?”

I would say:“It resides at the Mooladhara. When this power is awakened and rises to the crown, it can lead you towards Supreme Wisdom.”

Immediately, some would respond:

“If it is safely sitting in the Mooladhara, let it remain there! Why should we disturb it and bring it all the way up?”

Others had even greater fears:

“We have heard stories about Swami Vivekananda. They say that when his Kundalini reached the crown, his skull opened and he died. We don't want anything like that. We are happy as we are!”

That was the level of fear and misunderstanding surrounding Kundalini at the time.

I myself wondered how I could explain such a  subject to people in a way they could understand. It took years of effort. Through Yoga, the body first had to be prepared and transformed. Gradually, people had to be helped to understand:

“There is an extraordinary power within you. You must awaken to it and attain the higher state for which it exists.”

But then another misunderstanding appeared.

After receiving Kundalini initiation, some people would return within a month and say: “Guru, I haven't received anything.”

I would ask: “What exactly were you expecting to receive?”

They would reply:“That person used to ride a bicycle. After receiving initiation, he bought a motorcycle. But I am still riding my bicycle. I haven't even received a bike!”

Then I had to tell them: “My dear, do not use this immense spiritual power merely to obtain a bike or a car. What you have received is something infinite. Do not reduce it to trivial desires.”

Attain what you are truly meant to attain. When you move steadily towards the highest goal, whatever is genuinely necessary for your journey will come to you naturally. Do not stop with small desires and small achievements. Create a great aspiration within yourself.

And what should that aspiration be? To attain the Supreme State.

That is why, beside the Pranavalayam, we have a smaller Pyramid, where  I ask you also to sit in Tapas.

Yet, when I observe those performing Tapas, I still see desires within their prayers. How many sit there and ask for the highest state?

How many can say:“Guru, let me realise who I truly am. Let me attain the Supreme State. And once I have realised myself, let every action of my life be dedicated to the welfare of this world.”

That is the higher purpose of spiritual awakening.

The power within you is not merely for fulfilling small personal desires. Realise the Self, attain the highest state, and then allow that realization to become a force for the welfare of the world.

Gurumahan Speaks of Peace in Sri Lanka and Reveals the World’s Body, Mind & Soul: The Roles of China, America and India.

If we go beyond the outward state and turn inward, when we reach that Truth, we gain the power to know everything. Will Sri Lanka attain peace? I did not say this after merely thinking about it. In 2009, they asked me on 9/9, and they had asked me the same question on 9/8/2008. I said that within one year, on the same date and in the same month, peace would prevail in Sri Lanka. Did the circumstances for it unfold?

A political change had to take place in Sri Lanka. The election held on the 8th had to happen peacefully. On the very next day, the 9th, a major political change took place in Sri Lanka.

Therefore, may there be good relations with Maithripala Sirisena. Through your positive thoughts, harmony and good relations between Sri Lanka and India will certainly develop. By accepting the Prime Minister’s invitation, he will create a good relationship. If this political change had not taken place, Sri Lanka, which had once been destroyed by fire, would have faced destruction by water in the days to come. Gurumahan does not wish for its destruction. A transformation is needed.

Even those who appear powerful or negative are essentially good. Their minds have changed because of circumstances. Therefore, Gurumahan has chosen love as the weapon to transform the powerful into the good. With this weapon of love, we can unite the entire world. Through love, we can guide world leaders towards the path of righteousness and create a world filled with peace and joy.

For this very purpose, we are going to launch the Universal Peace Mission (UPM), a global movement for peace. Through this movement, we seek to bring together former presidents and Prime Ministers from across the world. Today, only certain countries have a significant place in the United Nations. The entire world is not equally represented. In fact, the decisions taken by a particular five countries often determine the decisions of the United Nations. This must change. We must bring together all the continents South America, North America, Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia and others, and create leadership representing each continent. By bringing these continents together, we can create a global forum for all nations.

In India, we call it Parliament. But if you look at the meaning of the word, “paar” means the world. We must create a true global Parliament, a forum that can unite the entire world and pave the way for a world government.

Can this really happen? We do not need to travel everywhere and tell people about it. Today, we can sit in one place and transmit a programme to people across the world, while people in different parts of the world watch it at the same time. If something is possible through modern science, why should it not be possible through spiritual science? People once asked, “Will the Euro come? How did it come about?” When we travelled abroad, we had to convert Indian currency into US dollars. When we returned, we had to convert it back into Indian currency. The value of the US dollar was higher, while the value of the Indian currency was lower. Why should this inequality exist? Economically, the currency of one country was valued much higher than that of another. This had to change. We then thought: Why should the European countries not come together and create a common currency, the Euro? We believed that the Euro should grow stronger than the US dollar and that the dominance of the US dollar in the global economy should decline. Did it happen? It happened. Similarly, look at BRICS. Countries are now coming together and creating a new economic framework. We had envisioned the coming together of countries such as America, India and China. Today, these countries are engaging and working together.
What happens when these three countries come together? They can bring about a transformation in the world itself. These three countries represent Body, Mind and Soul. China has a vast population, enormous capabilities and tremendous potential for action. America stands at the forefront of science and economics. India represents spirituality.

Therefore, when these three, Body, Mind and Soul come together, they can transform the world.

For this, I do not have to personally meet every world leader. I have an antenna here. From this very place, whoever I hold in my thoughts can receive these waves of positive intention in their minds. Is it possible? Yes, it is certainly possible. That is the power of tapas.

Is this power exclusive to Gurumahan? No. I have understood it and I am putting it into practice. You can do it too. You can certainly do it.

If you practise Samyama with the intention of buying a house, that can happen. If you practise Samyama with the intention of attaining a particular position, that too can happen. Whatever you contemplate upon through Samyama, you become. That is all.

In the 25th Velvi, Gurumahan Asks Scientists: “You Study the Atom, But Have You Studied Your Self?”

This is a cycle, and I will remain until another cycle is completed. The dharmic way of life that is emerging now will remain for 5,000 years. That is why the One Divine is the foundation spoken of by all religions. Shaivism says there is one all-powerful God. Vaishnavism says the same. Shaktism, Kaumaram and all other traditions acknowledge one Divine, even though they give it different names and portray it in different forms. Islam speaks of one all-powerful God. Christianity speaks of one all-powerful God.

All the sages who have appeared until now have pointed towards the same One. That One has expanded into everything.

Therefore, let us create a world based on the principle of One God, moving beyond divisions created by worshipping different forms. If there is One God, who are we? We have all come from that One Divine. If the primordial substance of the Universe is One, then we have emerged from that One source, and that same source exists within us.

That is why I tell you: believe in yourself. Who are you? You are an aspect of that primordial source.
You have been given names such as Shiva, Vishnu, Vinayaka, Ambika and Saraswati. Who are you? You are an expression of the Divine. But you do not trust the Divine within you. Instead, you identify yourself with your body, your mind, your possessions and even your knowledge, the truths you discover through your five senses and through science. But you are none of these. There is something that is the foundation of all these. That is who you are. That is Shiva. That is Vishnu. That is Ambika. That is Kumara. That is Vinayaka.
Know the Self within you. I have not come to show you God. I have come to show you the Self within you. You are none other than that. You are the Divinity that has come from the Divine.

At times, you live with animal nature. At other times, you conduct yourself with human nature. O human being, beyond both of these, there is also Divine nature within you. You are Divinity.

Thousands of years ago, when there was hardly any civilisation in the world, Bharat turned inward and explored this truth. Modern Western science investigates what can be seen, heard, smelled, spoken and touched. All of this is called science. But there is a source behind all this science.

Scientists have studied the outer layers of the atom. Our ancestors went beyond the atom, penetrated deeper into it and discovered the truth within. Therefore, O researchers of the atom, understand the Self that exists within the atom. You are present in every atom. Yet you investigate the atom without ever investigating yourself.
If you discover the Self within the atom, you will discover that bliss and peace already exist within you. This is the wisdom that Bharat has revealed to the world from ancient times, the true knowledge of knowing Reality as it truly is, and understanding the Divine principle by turning within. Swami Vivekananda envisioned that, through spiritual strength, Bharat would lead the world in the 21st century.

Can it happen?

Certainly, it can.

21 Days in the Cosmic Womb and Gurumahan’s Resolve to Transform Humanity!

I received wisdom through Tattuva Thava Gnani Gnanavallal Paranjothi Mahan. From the moment I was touched by Him, I experienced everything within myself. I transcended the physical body, subtle body and intellectual body, transcended even the Light, and experienced the Supreme Sound that shines as Paranjothi. That is the Omkara Nada. Beyond Omkara stands the primordial Adi.

By becoming one with that primordial state, I experienced everything within myself. That primordial source, that great point, has now expanded into everything. What was once One is no longer merely one; it has become everything. It exists in every atom and every living being.

Realising this oneness gave me the vision that all life must be united. Humanity, which has become divided, must be brought together and a harmonious world governance must be created.

This 25th Velvi has brought about a tremendous transformation. In the previous 24 years of Velvi, my body weight did not decrease even when I entered the Velvi and came out of it. This time, I had the thought that I should reduce my weight. In 21 days, I reduced it from 80 kilograms by about half a kilogram each day and emerged at 70 kilograms.

When I entered the Velvi, I entered the womb of the Universe. During the previous Velvis, I would drink milk in the morning and evening at the request of devotees. But in this Velvi, I consumed nothing. Water and the air of the Universe sustained me for 21 days.

After three days, my stomach asked for something to eat. I told it, “Be patient. I am in a state of resolve. I want to experience the power of the universe. Be patient for another week.”

The nutrients we need come from the Earth. The Earth receives its energy from the Sun. The Sun receives its energy from the galaxies, and the galaxies receive their energy from the centre of the Universe.

I am an aspect of this Universe. Whatever you need, I will receive the necessary energy for you from the central power of the Universe. So be patient.

After another week, the hunger arose again. I told it, “Wait another week.” I remained in that state of resolve.

We receive solid and liquid nourishment through the mouth and breathe air through the nose. But there is also a way to draw in the universal energy. Just as we received the mother’s energy through the umbilical cord while we were in the womb, we can draw the immense power of the Universe through the opening at the crown.

When we receive energy through this opening, that energy enters the body and reaches the brain centre.

At times, even I wondered whether I should eat something or drink something. But I reminded myself that I was within the womb of the Universe. I had complete faith that the Universe would provide every energy necessary for me. That faith was my resolve.

A mother fasts and prays for her children when they are unwell. She goes to many temples and offers her prayers for them. In the same way, we must develop a deep resolve for all the beings of this world.

We must transform the 21st century. If I do not transform it, who will? That is why I took this resolve.

For 21 days, I sustained myself on universal energy and a small amount of water. I drank one glass at around 6:30 in the morning and another at around 1:30 in the afternoon, because the body needs water for blood circulation.

This shows that with determination, we can accomplish anything.

But what should we accomplish? Is it to gain wealth? Is it to gain fame? Is it to establish many ashrams? No.

The great teachers and sages who came before me carried the noble intention of bringing humanity together and creating peace in the world. But they were unable to make it happen.

Through Gurumahaan, who has emerged from the womb of the Universe, it can certainly become possible.

Can Love Transform Even Extremism?Gurumahan’s Powerful Message

The duty of the Guru is to uplift you. He has come to uplift the world, and he never wishes to see this world destroyed. When you press a ball under water, it rises back up. When you press against another person’s hand, they naturally push back. In the same way, when we hurt, distress or cause pain to any living being, that being will eventually cause pain to another.

Look at the terrorism we see today. Beyond the retaliation, we must ask what causes a person to become a terrorist. When we examine the circumstances, we often find a sense of deprivation. The person was not treated as a human being and was not met with humanity. What does such a person ultimately seek? Love.

Where love diminishes, dharma diminishes. Where love exists, dharma flourishes. When we perform our duties from a state of love, from within, from the state of the Divine, everything can transform for the better.

O beloved people of the world, forgiveness and letting go are the highest expressions of greatness.

O minds consumed by extremism, realise yourselves. When you do not know your own true nature, the mind becomes filled with resentment over the wrongs committed by others. The same mind that seeks what it desires also seeks hatred. A mind free from likes and dislikes attains balance. O mind filled with extremism, become peaceful.

Do not consider yourself superior simply because you have never committed a wrong. True greatness lies in living with magnanimity. When we refuse to see even those who cause harm as inherently harmful, their actions will no longer harm us, and they too can move away from those destructive actions.

Therefore, let us meditate even for those who are caught in extremism. Let us meditate for the good, and for the powerful. Let us make the good powerful, and the powerful good. When goodness and strength come together, balance arises.

The world will attain balance. Creating that balance is the purpose of this 25th Velvi.

At the completion of this Velvi, we can experience a great transformation. Transformation in Bharat becomes transformation in the world. Transformation in Bharat begins with transformation in Tamil Nadu, and transformation in Tamil Nadu begins with transformation within you.

When each one of you transforms, Tamil Nadu transforms. When Tamil Nadu transforms, Bharat transforms. When Bharat transforms, the entire world transforms. This transformation will become a positive force for the progress of the world.

Bharat is blessed with abundant rivers and natural resources. It receives immense rainfall. If we harness the excess rainwater and create effective river-water pathways, Bharat can provide food for the entire world. The agriculture of this land has the potential to sustain life across the world.

Therefore, Bharat, awaken! When Bharat awakens, the whole world will awaken.

Tamil Nadu has the power to awaken Bharat. Tamil Nadu, awaken! Tamil, awaken! Tamil people, awaken through the spirit of Tamil. Tamil is not merely a language; Tamil is a feeling. It is a Divine consciousness. Those who awaken to this Divine consciousness can transform the entire world.

My complete blessings to everyone who is undertaking tapas with Gurumahan in this 25th Velvi. By Divine Grace, may you receive good physical health, mental peace, clarity of intellect and material abundance during this period of tapas.

May everyone belonging to my beloved Paranjothi family receive material fulfilment. May you live long with both Divine Grace and material abundance. May you live long, may you live long.

Gurumahan affirms, beyond the ego, you are Divine.

You are with God, having transcended everything.  You are God. Realising that you are Divine is the ultimate education. The highest purpose of education is to help you become your true Self. O Soul, O Divine Light, you are now established in your true nature. Here, there is no ego. There is nothing you need to desire and nothing you need to attain, because you are already resting in the peace you have attained.

It is from this peace that the entire Universe emerged. From the thought that arose in this silence, from the first assertion of “I,” came memory, sound, light, the five elements and all living beings.

You came from the Supreme Life. You came from Paranjothi. You came from the Divine, and you are Divine.

Just as a small portion taken from a laddu is still sweet because it carries the nature of the whole, and just as a drop taken from the ocean contains its saltiness, you are an aspect of this Universe. You are Divine. The essence of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva exists within you. The power to create, preserve and dissolve exists within you.

I realised my own power. This Velvi is meant to awaken you to your own power. Realise yourself through this Velvi and protect and uplift the world.

Protect yourself through self worship. Protect your family through family worship. Protect your community through community worship. Protect your village through village worship. Protect your nation through national worship. O Divine One, protect the entire world through universal worship.

This is the Universal Welfare Maha Tapa Velvi.
Let us all come together and participate in this Velvi. With the Guru within, let 1008 Tapayogis practise their tapas from time to time. Those who contribute through physical effort or financial support, and those who offer even one meal to the people who come here, to the seekers and to those engaged in spiritual tapas, receive great merit.

Contribute through material service, excel in administration through knowledge, and serve through wisdom.

The four varnas were originally understood through the nature of one’s service: one who serves through physical work is a Shudra; one who serves through material resources is a Vaishya; one who creates and manages through knowledge is a Kshatriya; and one who uses higher spiritual wisdom for the welfare of the world is a Brahmana.

Therefore, rise to the state of spiritual wisdom, live in love, uphold dharma, and receive the blessings for a life filled with bliss and peace.

In the 25th Velvi Discourse, Gurumahan’s 2014 Vision Comes True: December 21 Becomes World Meditation Day in 2024!

December 21 falls between Dakshinayana and Uttarayana and is the day with the longest night. This period, known as Makarayanam, is a time when darkness increases. A seed planted during this period can bring about a profound transformation.

June 21, on the other hand, is the day when daylight begins to increase and the day is at its longest. Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi chose this significant day to establish the International Day of Yoga, a day dedicated to the well-being, longevity and harmonious living of humanity.

Today is the day of the Sun. Before the nights began to grow longer, our ancestors revered this day as Surya Dinam. Therefore, the early morning, when the Sun rises, is especially significant. Whatever we do and whatever thought we hold at this time can transform into action.

That is why June 21, when daylight increases, was chosen as the International Day of Yoga. It is a wonderful day that celebrates the birth of Yoga for the well-being of humanity.

May Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi live long. May Bharat prosper and live long. My heartfelt blessings to the international community and the United Nations for recognising June 21 as the International Day of Yoga.

In the 25th Velvi Discourse, Gurumahan talks about the purpose of our birth and Bharat’s return to its inner light.

The purpose of your birth is to attain the state beyond birth. The purpose of going to school is to complete your education. Likewise, the purpose of this human life and this human body is to attain liberation. So believe that this is your final birth.

Tell yourself, “I will not be born again. I will attain the state beyond birth and death. I will attain the immortal state, the great life beyond death.”

I am Light. I emerged from the Supreme Light, and when I leave this physical body, I will merge with that Supreme Light. I came from Paranjothi, and as the Atma Jyothi within this limited existence, I will transcend these boundaries and unite with the infinite Paranjothi.

Having realised who I am, I will fulfil my duty of Dharma in this world. I will perform my duties through my body, through my mind, through my intellect, and through higher wisdom by sharing divine knowledge and awakening that awareness in others.

O Divine Being, you came to this world of karma to fulfil your duty. But you forgot your purpose, and so you are born again and again. You enter through the womb, a small doorway, but that very doorway is the doorway to the Divine. Walk towards that Divine doorway.

That is why, during the sacred Margazhi season, the Swarga Vaasal is opened. The doorway to the Divine is waiting for you. The purpose of the Guru’s incarnation is to lead you towards that divine state. I have taken many incarnations, and now I have come with the duty of awakening humanity to its true nature as a higher, divine and enlightened race.

To fulfil this duty, these 24 Velvis were necessary. The 25th Velvi is to reveal me completely, to reveal the truth of “Who am I?” and, through that truth, to reveal Dharma to the world.

The 25th Velvi is meant to bring transformation to you and your future generations, a transformation in character, mind and body, so that you may fulfil that higher Dharma. Bharat exists for this very purpose. The world that was once united became divided by oceans and boundaries. It will once again move towards a united world and a higher global order. Beyond economic differences between nations, there will be a vision of one world and one currency. This is the higher message that will emerge through the Guru’s word.

Look at yourself. You have looked at your body in the mirror. You have looked at your hair, your eyes, your ears, your nose and your face. But you have not truly looked at yourself.

To see yourself, enter the inner pathway, the subtle channel between the eyes. The outer mirror shows you your external world and the appearance of your physical body. But the inner pathway between the eyes turns you inward and reveals who you truly are. Because you forgot this, you have struggled through the ups and downs of life, caught between pleasure and pain. Go beyond these dualities and attain equanimity.

This is the very teaching that Vasishta gave Rama in the Yoga Vasishta. It is the same teaching given through the Krishna Avatar and the same teaching that Lord Krishna gave Arjuna. Krishna said to Arjuna, “This Yoga has been passed down from time immemorial. It was lost along the way, and today I am giving it to you again.” This Yoga will continue to be revived and passed on again and again.

From the first century to the 17th century, Bharat was a powerful and flourishing civilisation, excelling in every field and sharing love, wisdom, strength, joy, beauty and peace with the world.
Bharat was a land of inner light. Through various invasions during the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, it lost much of its education, arts and culture. Now Bharat is destined to regain that inner light and shine once again.

Gurumahan Leads Us Into Deep Meditation, Revealing Atma as Our True State!

The Self Is Within You
To realise the Self is to discover where it is. The Self is present in everything, and it is present within you. When you believe that it exists within you, you can begin to experience its presence. Otherwise, you will never seek it.
For this one minute, turn within and enter the state of the Self.

What True Spirituality Is
Speaking about spirituality is not spirituality. Reading about it is not spirituality. Repeating what you have read is not spirituality. True spirituality is experiencing what exists, exactly as it is.
Take a deep, long breath. Keep your eyes half closed, with your gaze gently lowered.

Returning to the State of Simply Being
When you were in your mother’s womb, you were without breath and without speech. You were without activity. You were simply being, in a state where just being was bliss.
Entering that blissful state of simply being is the purpose of this one minute.

The Breath: Your Connection to Life
The breath is the connection between you and the world. It is the connection between your body and the outer world. This breath is the movement of life. Go beyond the physical body and turn within. Beyond the physical body is life. Within that life is light. Within that light is awareness.

The Journey Within
My beloved divine beings, the purpose is to discover yourselves and enter the state of the Self, the state of inner peace. This inner state, this state of the Self, is what a Guru’s duty is to lead you towards. It is your responsibility to attain that state. We are engaged in that very purpose now.

O Mind, Your Goal Is Within
O mind, the goal you seek is within. You have experienced pleasure and pain through what you see, hear, smell, taste and touch. Go beyond these experiences and discover the inner bliss, the bliss beyond worldly pleasures, the supreme peace beyond external peace.

Follow the Breath, Discover the Divine
Prana enters through the nostrils and emerges as Apana. Observe the breath as it moves inward and outward for a few moments. The breath is the thread. When you observe the thread, you can reach the Supreme. When you follow the Vasi, you can attain Shiva. Shiva is within you. You are that Shiva. Shakti is within you. You are that Shakti.
Come within. Come within, O mind.

Five Seconds Into Stillness
Inhale for five seconds. Hold the breath for five seconds. Exhale for five seconds. Then remain breathless for five seconds in a state without mind and without thoughts. Let the mind rest in the lotus of your heart. Peace. Peace. Deep peace.

Beyond Body, Mind and Intellect
Go beyond the body, beyond the mind and beyond the intellect. Enter the state of the Self.
Enter the fourth state of consciousness, beyond the physical body, beyond the subtle body and beyond the intellectual body. Enter that deep inner state of peace. This is your natural state.
There, the mind is no longer merely the mind. The intellect is no longer merely the intellect. The body is no longer merely the body.
Everything is the Self. There is no movement there. There is no flow of the mind. There is no flow of thoughts.

You Are That
You are not the body. You are not the mind. You are not the intellect. You are That.
You are the Self. You are the illumined Self.
Feel yourself.
“I am the illumined Self.”
Feel that awareness. Feel the awareness of the Self. Feel that Self-awareness at the centre between your eyebrows.
That “I”, the Self, is pure awareness. That is Brahmic consciousness. That awareness itself is Brahman.

Think, Remain, Merge
With that awareness, think in that awareness. Remain established in that awareness. Merge into that awareness. Think. Remain. Merge.
You become one with the Divine state. You become one with the inner Divine. You become one with your natural Self.

Where Only Truth Exists
There is nothing else there. There is nothing there except Truth. There is nothing there except Reality. There is nothing other than God.
That state of God is everything. It exists everywhere, at all times and in every state.
It is from that transcendent inner state that creation happens. It is That which protects, and it is That which transforms everything.

The Secret of Transformation
O Yogi, the secret of transforming yourself lies there. Whatever you aspire to become, that inner state has the power to transform you into it.
The power to transform you is within you. The power to elevate you to a higher state is within you.

Beyond Man and Woman
Woman, you are not merely a woman. The Divine Shakti is within you. Man, you are not merely a man. The Divine Shakti is within you as well.
It is the body that creates the distinction between man and woman. Beyond the body, all of you are the Divine Shakti.
You are That. You are That.
Believe in yourself. “I am That.”
Therefore, “I shall become That.”

From Attachment to the Self
At present, you are attached to the body, the mind, material possessions and life itself. Go beyond all these attachments. Develop an inner attachment to the Divine, to God, to the Self.
Merge into That and become That.

Transformation Begins Within
Then transformation takes place in the body. Diseases in the body begin to change. Illness gives way to health. Whatever state you visualise for yourself, whatever state you see yourself becoming, you move towards becoming that.
There is transformation in the mind and peace within the mind. When you go further within, there is transformation in life itself.

From Human to Divine Human
You have evolved from a living being into a human being endowed with the sixth sense.
Within you lies the possibility of further transformation, of becoming a great human being, a divine human being endowed with the seventh sense. You can live with that divine nature. You are divine beings. All of you are divine. Recognise the Divinity in All. Recognise the divinity within you. Recognise that every living being is divine. Then you will live with love towards all beings, with humanity, spiritual love and divine love.

In the 25th Velvi Discourse, Gurumahan Reveals Why Widowed Women Were Chosen to Lead the Velvi and What It Truly Says About Dharma.

At the end of every Velvi, beginning with the very first Velvi, whom did we first give the opportunity to carry the kumbham and light the lamps? Women. And who were these women? Widows.

Why? What has society done to these women? In some monasteries, they were told, “Mother, please sit a little away.” But what do we do in our own homes? When a mother loses her husband due to circumstances, we push her aside. How can we build a family without the mother who brought us into this world? Yet we fail to give her the importance she deserves. But in every wedding, whom do we place in the forefront? The mother.

You carried the child in your womb for ten months. You gave your blood as milk, nourished the child, cared for the child and raised the child. When we fell ill, what would the father do? He might say, “Here is some money. Take the child to the hospital and come back.” He may not even come along. But the mother would always be there. She would never leave her child in the hands of a servant. She would care for the child herself.

So, whoever performs their duties with sincerity, there is no difference before God. Aren’t we all souls? If so, when did the husband come into a woman’s life? He came in between. He came later.

Women were told that they should not question their husbands. Why were they told that they must protect their husbands at all costs? Why were they told that they should not wear a bindi or flowers after their husband’s death? They were made to believe that once the husband was gone, everything was gone. That is why the saying arose, “Even if he is like a stone, he is still your husband; even if he is like a blade of grass, he is still your husband.”

There are certain responsibilities for men and certain responsibilities for women. It does not mean that everything a man does should be followed by a woman. A man may smoke or drink, but a woman carries the responsibility of nurturing the next generation. That is why the mother’s womb must be pure. The mother’s mind must also be pure and divine while nurturing the child in her womb. Even if the father is of any nature, if the mother is good, she has the power to nurture and shape society.

That is why certain principles and disciplines were prescribed for women. It was never meant to consider women inferior. The Vedas never degraded women. But over time, these teachings were changed and misunderstood. Those who propagated them interpreted them wrongly.

Look at the family of Shiva. We have all seen pictures of the Shiva family in our homes. Shiva, Parvati, Murugan and Vinayaka are together. Where is Parvati seated? On Shiva’s left side. That is why the left side is associated with Parvati. The two sons stand beside them.

Now look at our grandfather and grandmother at home. Have you noticed? Grandfather sits while grandmother stands beside him. But look at the Shiva we worship every day. He has Parvati seated beside him, and they are portrayed together. Yet what have we done in our own homes? We have made the grandmother stand while the grandfather sits. Who showed us this? We created this ourselves. We should recognize that as our mistake. Dharma is dharma. Today, hardly anyone explains the true meaning of dharma to us.

We are merely following rituals and traditions. Sanatana Dharma does not end with rituals and customs. The coming age is going to move towards true spirituality. Religion has boundaries, but spirituality has no boundaries. Through religion, what should we ultimately seek? We should seek spirituality.
