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 spiritual lineage
The spiritual lineage connects devotees to an ancient source of grace. A disciple met the master as a baby and received lifelong blessings, countering predictions of a short life and lack of education or wealth. The lineage extends back seven generations through the family. The source of the teachings is the immortal master Alakpuriji, who dwells in the Himalayas. Such perfected beings exist in subtle, causal bodies beyond the material world, serving as protectors. They can be perceived by pure hearts, as seen in lights over glaciers. The path requires sacrifice of attachment to enter the divine kingdom, as demonstrated by Yudhiṣṭhira's loyalty. The goal is liberation through this spotless, indescribable grace.
"Tell me when you’re ready to leave this earth to come, I’ll call you."
"Enter the kingdom of the Lord through the gate of sacrifice."

Shiv-Abisheka
A Śiva Pūjā is performed through invocation, abhiṣeka, and homa. The ritual begins with sacred mantras and offerings to Lord Śiva. Water, sandalwood, and sacred ash are offered with reverence. The five nectars and various substances like rice, betel leaf, and flowers are presented. A fire ceremony is conducted, where offerings are made with the utterance of svāhā. This act symbolizes the sacrifice of negativity and ego into the purifying flames. The recitation of the thousand names of Śiva follows, a profound meditation for this age. The ritual concludes with a peace prayer, affirming the eternal, complete nature of the divine.
"Whatever negativity, ego, jealousy, or hatred is with us, we are sacrificing."
"Pūrṇamadaḥ, Pūrṇamidaṁ, Pūrṇāt Pūrṇamudacyate."
