Remembering Holy Guruji's Mahasamadhi
Every breath is a priceless diamond; do not squander it.
Time is very precious; time is money. Satsang is priceless, received without cost, but one is not worthy to enter it. The bliss of Brahman does not come again and again, so liberation is not possible. The cow serves alive and even after death; the human body is useless after death. Human beings have forgotten how to value time. Humanness is far away. One forgets the Giver, squandering on actions. The heart is stained with sin. One lies, gossips, sings impure songs, defaming the mind. The tongue is not worthy of singing the Lord’s songs. Not serving mother and father makes one unworthy of coming into this world. At every turn, let compassion, modesty, and a smile remain. One must attain life’s secret, renounce restlessness, control mind and senses, know oneself, and remain blissful. The mother of dharma is compassion; the father is contentment. One who serves parents is a true child. One who knows oneself is a human being.
“Every breath is a priceless diamond, it is not worthy of being squandered.”
“In life, one must attain the secret of life; one must renounce restlessness and unrighteousness.”

The Sacred Ritual of Abhiṣeka and the Path of Yoga
The sacred ritual of Abhiṣeka and the path of Yoga.
The ritual begins with invocations to Gaṇapati, various deities, and blessings for long life and removal of obstacles. A saṅkalpa is declared for performing Rudra Abhiṣeka with water offerings for all devotees. The ceremony involves worship of Sphaṭika Maheśvara and the Śiva Parivāra. A series of ritual baths are offered, including water, milk, curd, honey, sugar, and pañcāmṛta. Further offerings include sandalwood paste, sacred ash, flowers, and incense. The ritual continues with Vedic chants, hymns to Śiva, and the Gāyatrī mantra. An āratī ceremony is performed with offerings of light. The worship concludes with a puṣpāñjali and declarations of victory to various deities. The entire performance is a liturgical act of devotion, not a lecture. The stated topic of Yoga is not expounded upon; the content remains a continuous ritual sequence.
"Puṇyaṁ puṇyāhaṁ dīrgham āyur astu nirvighnam astu."

On Shiva Purana Katha
Life presents two paths: one of the world and one to God. The worldly path, introduced by family and society, leads to suffering. The spiritual path, called Parmārth or Satsaṅg, leads to true bliss and God. Only the Sadguru introduces one to the world's creator, a truth we often overlook. We acknowledge a maker for human artifacts like cloth, yet seldom consider the divine creator behind mountains, rivers, and stars. Meeting such a Guru requires the accumulated merit of many lifetimes. This connection ultimately guides one to God, the source of bliss, away from the world's sorrow.
"The only one who brings us to God is the Sadguru Dev."
"The world is a form of sorrow. God is a form of true bliss."

Christmas with Swamiji in Vienna
We celebrate the arrival of Jesus, a festival of peace, love, and unity. The world needs light, both physical and the divine light of wisdom within every being. Since organized religion began, division has followed, unlike the universal, indivisible consciousness of Sanātana Dharma. Human greed creates ownership and mental pollution, which is more dangerous than physical waste. Before a bomb destroys others, it destroys itself; similarly, negative thoughts first harm the one who holds them. We are called not to judge, but to forgive and to hate the sin, not the sinner. Modern celebrations have become materialistic and polluting, especially with single-use plastics, which now seem immortal. The true gift is non-material, offered openly without harmful packaging. Our spiritual duty is selfless service, to pass on immortal wisdom. A true disciple, like Jesus, endures suffering without abandoning principle to deliver a divine message. We must write and share immortal wisdom through devotion and trust.
"Forgive them; they do not know what they are doing."
"We hate the sin, but not the sinner."

Healing of humanity
Healing arises from sound, respect, and living naturally. Mental illness creates imbalance in all aspects of life. Mass media reaches many, but true influence requires positive thinking and respect, not ego. Self-respect is social education reflected in clean appearance and considerate behavior to honor others; this is not ego. True healing returns to natural origins through mantra, yajña, and the resonance of sound described in the Vedas. Harmonious sound, or nāda, connects all hearts and heals nature, animals, and humans. Discordant modern noise causes suffering and disharmony. Sustainability requires ancient, natural systems. Positive thinking and truth dispel inner darkness. Each person must awaken their human qualities through good society and education. Begin each day affirming your humanity and the wish for all to be happy.
"Self-respect is that social education. You give others good behavior so that you are respecting."
"Nāda is that resonance... when it is a resonance which is uniting, connecting heart to heart... that sound is called Brahman."
