A Devotional Offering: Guru Vandana and Bhajans

From: 21 Feb 2023
A devotional offering of Guru Vandana and bhajans is presented.
Bows are offered to Satguru Dev and all present. A guitarist from Ajmer presents Guru Vandana. A request for time is made. A Mīrā bhajan is sung. The bhajan describes Mīrā’s absorption in divine love. She drinks the poison given by Rāṇā as nectar. She merges into the ocean of saints’ company. She sings Hari’s glories in every lane. This is Rāga Sāraṅga, a daytime rāga. An original composition is offered. The composition declares the world, body, and illusion false. The Sadguru gives the message of truth. The teaching points beyond words to the soundless “Om So’ham.” Refuge in the Mother grants liberation from birth and death. The immortal mantra’s secret is revealed. The offering concludes with chants of reverence to deities and gurus.
“Aisī lāgī lagan, Mīrā ho gayī magan. Rāṇā ne viṣa diyā, mano amṛta piyā.”
“Jhūṭī māyā, jhūṭī kāyā, jhūṭā yeh sansār hai. Morā sadguru diyo sandeśa.”

Searching for the Guru

The body is a divine vehicle for the soul's journey. A disciple suffered severe brain damage and paralysis from an accident. Years later, a second accident caused further injury, with doctors offering a dire prognosis. A spiritual teacher was urgently summoned to the hospital's intensive care unit, where access is typically restricted. The teacher arrived, and the disciple, while in a coma, perceived a profound light entering his being during the teacher's blessing. This experience is held as a testament to the miraculous potential of yoga and complete devotion. The physical form is a wondrous coach pulled by the ten senses, with the intellect as the reins and the soul as the king within. This intricate body, a divine miracle no scientist can replicate, operates with profound intelligence, like the heart's ceaseless labor. True yoga involves exploring this inner universe through practice, expanding consciousness, and surrendering to grace. One must discover and share their unique talents; otherwise, these gifts are lost. The highest practice is satsang and offering a heart full of devotion.
"By the blessing of Gurudeva, He is the Supreme; everything He can do. But there should be complete confidence, devotion, and surrender."
"This body—some aspects we understand, and some we do not. No scientist can do that; it is a God-made world, and that is God's work. It is a miracle."
Help for Nepal

Compassion and selfless service are the supreme spiritual practice. A devastating calamity has struck Nepal, causing immense suffering. The global community, especially India, has provided immediate relief through funds, personnel, and rescue operations. True spirituality manifests as active compassion, seeing all beings as one family. Service to others cleanses the heart and brings profound inner peace, connecting the individual soul to the Supreme. The physical practice of yoga is valuable, but its essence is the union of body, mind, and spirit, symbolized by the sacred sound Om. This universal science of harmonization transcends all religious boundaries.

A yoga teacher must embody the discipline they teach, beginning with diet. Modern food is manipulated and unhealthy, causing illness. Dairy products like milk are contaminated with chemicals; minimize their use. Cheese is tamasic and unhealthy, though paneer is better. Commercial bread contains harmful additives like chicken feather and human hair powder. This artificial food attacks our glandular systems and weakens immunity. We are slaves to taste, a mighty sense. Control it, eat less, and practice more to draw nourishment from prāṇa. Discipline is not easy, as even teachers struggle, but practical application transforms health. One disciple lost 35 kilos and reversed chronic diseases by strict dietary control. Practice yoga daily, sleep early, and wake early. Health and longevity come from consistent practice and dietary restraint. Begin discipline now.
"Tons of theory is nothing without a grain of practice."
"Yoga begins with discipline. So when should we develop discipline? Aṭṭa means now."
