Svaroopa Vidya Ashram’s Podcast

While you may wish for bliss in every meditation, it’s actually the busy meditations that are moving you toward enlightenment faster.  Just like a car speeding along the highway passes more scenery, when you’re really zipping along...   —  Gurudevi Nirmalananda

So, at the end of your meditation, when you leap up and you get moving, physically or maybe it’s just your mind, you’re blocking your ability to see the Divine in the mundane. You’ve gone back to measuring, analyzing, counting...  — Gurudevi Nirmalananda

You have a right to bliss.  The bliss of Consciousness, for it is what you are made of.  If you aren’t experiencing the bliss of Consciousness, you don’t know who you really are.  Fortunately, on this path, the bliss comes early.  But it’s not unconscious bliss...  —  Gurudevi Nirmalananda

You know, the teachings are not enough. They must be enlivened by Grace.  You can read the teachings. We read them in translation from the ancient texts, and you can read them for decades and never have a real experience.  You certainly will get understandings, aha moments, intellectual breakthroughs, but without any real depth.  The experience of your own Self is a feeling, not a thought.  It is a deep quality of beingness, not a…. —  Gurudevi Nirmalananda

I wanted instant enlightenment.  I didn’t get it.  I wanted the express elevator to the penthouse. I had to climb the stairs. At least I knew where I was headed for I’d had amazing experiences after receiving Shaktipat from my Guru.  This inner awakening showed me that there was more to me than I dreamed possible.  I’d had a peek at Consciousness.  It was a promise of my future. It made me willing to do the climb. Like stairs with landings, at each new level I grew into expanded…

Yoga explains that there is something worth finding, but it is located inside.  Yoga gives you a peek at it - a glimpse of your own Self.  And tools to attune yourself to your own Self - ways to progressively surrender into who you already are.  And yoga gives you proof.  Proof that there is a…

The feeling I had after my first yoga class was the beginning of how I always feel now. The peace, the awe, the inner vastness, the lightness of being, the ease and openness —­ I was experiencing Self.  My first yoga teacher didn’t give me words for it.  I could only call it “that yoga feeling.”  It made me want.... —  Gurudevi Nirmalananda

If you’re going through pain now, simply name it.  You are the one who is naming it. You’re not your pain. You’re the one who’s naming it.  Yes, you have to deal with it.  But you’re not your pain. You are more, so much more.  The best way to discover that you are more than your pain is… —  Gurudevi Nirmalananda

Born into bondage, your life’s task is to fly free. You begin the process like a caged bird who keeps flexing its wings, wanting to fly.  Your cage door is opened by one who is already free. This is the Shaktipat Guru’s task, to set you free by opening up the inner arising of Consciousness.   Thus you discover the truth that has been hidden for so long, that your essence is Divine.  The not-knowing of your own Self is what causes all your pain. It is the result of…

We are in a tantric tradition.  Tantra goes about it completely differently.  Tantra says, “Let’s just shred anava mala.”  Through Shaktipat, I will open you up from the inside out.  Shred anava mala so you have experiences of your own Self.  You know who you are.  Go ahead…  —  Gurudevi Nirmalananda
