Bhajan evening in Jadan Ashram
The light that upholds the universe is the Guru, the cause of crossing life's ocean. You are that light, upholding divine honor. Meeting the Lord is the greatest honor, sanctifying life through endless cycles. The Guru bestows the jewel of the Supreme Sovereign. Practice Japa and remain absorbed in meditation on the Self to attain Nirvāṇa. Applying yourself to meditation destroys the sorrows of birth. All desired tasks are accomplished, and life becomes successful. For a moment's Darśana, one studies for hundreds of births; the Guru strengthens faith, and the devotee swiftly crosses the ocean of existence.
"If you practice Japa, remain absorbed in meditation on the Self, you will attain the state of Nirvāṇa."
"For the sake of a moment's Darśana, one studies scriptures and sūtras for hundreds of births."

Bhajan singing from Jadan Ashram
The yogi's sleep is a state of yogic consciousness where wakefulness is known within sleep, and day is known within night. It is a sleep without support, upon a white stone slab. In that sleep, one knows the day within the night. It is a sleep of knowledge, leading to the state of Nirvana. Through this practice, one meets the Supreme Person. The true form is revealed when one meets that Person. The guru's assembly reveals the true knowledge. The body is without a country; the divine person is wondrous. One who worships in this way is absorbed in the guru.
"Us nindrāme jagratā jāne, punirātri me divasu jñānī hai."
"Deha binā deśikānī hai, Deva Puruṣa dabhuta havāliyā."

The Path of Oṃ, Yoga, and Inner Purification
The path of yoga and the sound of Oṃ leads to liberation. Learning Oṃ is easy, but many do not fully intone it. Understanding yoga begins with Aum. Chanting Oṃ from the navel to the crown chakra makes meditation peaceful. Prāṇāyāma serves physical health and yogic consciousness. Modern practice often focuses only on postures, but yoga has no competition; challenge arises from ego. True practice is for all, not only ascetics. Laziness is not yoga. The body contains 72,000 nāḍīs, with Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā being primary. These channels influence health and mind. The Viśuddhi Cakra purifies poison, like anger, which harms the body. Unresolved anger causes suffering in relationships and health. Small grievances create major pain; clear them immediately. Inner purification through the chakras cleanses negativity. Practice requires discipline, not using meditation as an escape. The face reveals one's inner state; nothing can be hidden. Various yogas lead to supreme consciousness. Meditation means focusing only on the mantra to find inner peace.
"According to yogic sādhanā, if we can understand what yoga is, then the first path is definitely Aum."
"In yoga, there is no competition and no challenge. We do not give the challenge. If you want to give the challenge, then it means you have lost, because now you are the ego."

Satsang from London
Śiva is universal consciousness, liberation, truth, and beauty, the self-manifested source of all. Yoga, the Vedas, and all wisdom originate from Śiva, who can destroy negativity with the third eye. The Śiva liṅga represents the endless universe, which is space. Within that space is consciousness. The energy that unites space and consciousness is Śakti, the primal power behind all perception and action. Śakti is not gender but the divine energy balancing creation. Two forces exist: the divine spiritual energy and the destructive demonic energy. Śiva oversees creation and dissolution, intervening only when necessary. True devotion is the heart's surrender, leading to liberation.
"Śiva means mokṣa. Śiva means liberation. Śiva means the consciousness."
"Without that Śakti, our body cannot exist."
