Svaroopa Vidya Ashram’s Podcast

At the beach, I revel in watching the waves rolling onto the shore. Each has its own personality. One wave is taller but another is wider. One wave washes farther up the shore.  Yet they are all made of the same ocean water. They are all the same while they are all different. Like this, Shiva is being everything in the universe. Every individual and every single thing is different from the others, yet all are made of Shiva. Shiva is having a glorious time being…

What are you hanging on to?  Let me put it another way. Anything that you’re hanging on to, if God wants you to have it, you will still have it when you surrender to God. God wants the best for you... —  Gurudevi Nirmalananda

What do you do when there’s nothing left to seek? There’s nowhere to go, nothing to gain, for it is all already found within, oh, Shiva. Instead of looking for something to get, something to fill me, I am already full. So, I look for what I...  —  Gurudevi Nirmalananda

Your own Self is always manifest, always present, always accessible, always easy to find.  You just have to look in the right direction — inward.  But your mind is constructed to look the other way.  Your mind is a concentrated form of Consciousness with… —  Gurudevi Nirmalananda

To discover who you are is the purpose of meditation.  It is an inner exploration that takes you deeper and deeper within.  But at the end of your meditation, your peripheral vision is wider.  Your focus didn’t shut you down. It opened you up.  Your capacity for caring, compassion… —  Gurudevi Nirmalananda

I wanted something that my parents didn’t want. I wanted something that my school teachers never talked about. I wanted something that wasn’t described in church. Joseph Campbell rescued me from my self-doubt. In a series of television interviews titled “The Power of Myth”, he explained that everyone longs for something greater, but only a few... — Gurudevi Nirmalananda

Yoga teaches surrender. This is how you get enlightened. It is also how you fall in love. Surrender is how you experience God, whether looking outward or inward.  In English, surrender means you lost the battle. Yoga uses Sanskrit words that point to becoming free, giving something to the care of another or taking refuge. You go through stages in learning how to give over. Bottom line, it is surrender that yoga values — not to whom you are surrendering. Why? Because each time you surrender…

Your mind is so powerful. It creates whatever you choose. If you choose to repeat the litany of your pains, you can do this. If you choose to repeat the litany of your pleasures, you can do this. Yet, yoga recommends neither. You see, both of these litanies are still about… — Gurudevi Nirmalananda

By Gurudevi Nirmalananda 

We love the moon’s silvery-white light, a cooling light. Its soft glow illumines the darkness, soothing and calming your mind. Yet the moon is not the source of its light. It merely reflects the light of the sun. Similarly, the light of Consciousness shines through your mind. The source is within, your own Divine Essence. If your mind were clear and spacious, your mind’s light would be cool, soothing and comforting. However, if your mind is full of limiting notions, Consciousness first has to burn them away…

Now you can no longer think of God as something you earn with lifetimes of purity and striving for perfection.   You don’t earn God.  You are God. You’ve simply been looking in the wrong place. You’ve been looking at the ceremonies, at the rituals, at the mountains, the rising sun, the full moon. Yes, Yes! God is… —  Gurudevi Nirmalananda
