Svaroopa Vidya Ashram’s Podcast

You long to know your own Self as Consciousness, and to live in the bliss-filled beingness that is your Essence.  Yet, you already know at a deep inner level.  You already are free. You see, you won’t long for something unless…

Even if you lived free — no prison bars, no ankle bracelet, you can be imprisoned by your mind.  My Baba described it this way, “His own outlook is the thing that shrinks him day by day.  As he meditates on and ponders his own limitations, he becomes completely bound.” You do meditate on your limitations.  You obsess on… — Gurudevi Nirmalananda

Where are your complaints?  They’re in your mind, usually in the forefront of your mind.  Repeating over and over, your mind loops around on them. So you look in the space where your complaints usually are, right here, in the forefront of your mind… —  Gurudevi Nirmalananda

Knowing about your own Self is not the same as experiencing your own Self.  I can talk about your Divine Essence all day, and you may love the theory.  But even a moment of experiential knowing stops you, settles you, fills you from the inside out.  —  Gurudevi Nirmalananda

Your attachments define you.  They limit you. They take hold of you, defining who you are and what you can do. Thus, yoga’s goal is freedom.  Freedom from limitation.  Freedom from compulsion.  Freedom from being driven.  You gain yogic freedom by an internal redefinition of…

While the Guru is one who dispenses God’s Grace, don’t confuse the Guru with a particular personality or physical form. Yes, I loved spending time with my Guru.  I love his photos, to see these images of his physical form.  Yet, I know it’s the Divine Reality in him that made him lovable…

Of course, you can have a breakthrough on a vision quest in nature, or in a dream.  Maybe not a piece of chocolate.  But anything, potentially anything can stop your mind and let your inherent Divinity peek through.  How great it is.  Or rather, how great it was...  —  Gurudevi Nirmalananda

You know, in the beginning most people use mantra to calm themselves when they’re upset.  How great that it works for you.  You can calm yourself.  You can get centered again when you’ve been thrown off center.  Yes, use mantra for this.  But consider, what if you did mantra when you didn’t “need” it?  If it will give you your Self when…

Growing up, I was confused. My schoolteachers, at church and my own family said and did self-contradictory things. It took me decades to figure out that the problem wasn’t me. I needed better teachers. Searching far and wide, I found that only yoga gave me teachings I could trust and a teacher I could rely on. Better yet, I was given genuine upliftment as well as practical ways to better myself. Yoga’s teachings and practices come from…
