A Devotional Offering: Guru Vandana and Bhajans
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.”

The ways of Purification
The mantra provides refuge and purification. Recite it mentally in daily life to invoke divine presence and protection. All five elements purify. Earth absorbs impurity, water blesses, air carries life, fire transforms, and space contains all. These elements cleanse body, mind, and atmosphere. Use pure food, breath, and thought for health. Sattvic diet and pranayama remove inner impurities. Joyful practices like song and dance also elevate the spirit. Purification through elements and discipline leads the soul upward.

Discover peace and happiness within you
Vishwaguru Maheshwarananda Public Lecture, Kosice, Slovak Republic. Vishwaguruji reveals the secrets of our birth. We come from the beautiful Universe with peace and happiness within. This kind of realization is awakened by practicing meditation.
Nature of our Atma
The essence of vṛtti and ātmā is the path to oneness.
A good vṛtti is seen as discipline and humility in one's life, observed by others. Vṛtti manifests in two ways: through external discipline from parents and teachers, and through one's inherent nature. It refers to one's actions and habits, such as seeking food beyond what is provided at home. The story of a man at a dinner, whose poor manners spoiled another's meal, illustrates an unconscious vṛtti. The ultimate aim is chitta vṛtti nirodha, the cessation of mental modifications. We are all one, like individual drops from a vast ocean. This drop, the jīva or soul, when it merges back into the ocean, becomes Shiva, the divine. The divine essence is within everyone, pure and indestructible. It is the ever-awakened truth, unaffected by the body or the elements. This inner ātmā is our true, limitless form. The path is through constant meditation and the soham mantra, realizing "He am I," to achieve this silent oneness.
"Stone by stone. And day by day, I will build it, my temple."
"Where are you searching for me? I am within."
