Divine Lila, Gods Play
Evening Satsang from Wellington,
New Zealand. Lila is a way of
describing all reality, including
the cosmos as the outcome of
creative play by the divine. Lila
also refers more simply to the
activities of God and his devotees.
Sri Krishna was a master of
Lilas, the divine games. His
childhood shows a refreshing
and powerful picture and
joyous experience of God.
A spirituality of joy and true
desire, love and beauty.
Swamiji translates one of the
Gujarati bhajans - Guruji na
naam ni ho mala chhe dokma -
Means, the name of Gurudev
I am wearing on my neck. It is
the blessed mala I am wearing
and that is my protection.

Be careful with the self-made Gurus
Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. In this Kali Yuga it is very important to find a real Guru. The sign of a real Guru bhakti is simplicity. The story of Surdas who was follower of Lord Krishna and a cat. Panch Amrit contains cow products. Cow urine is a good medicine in India, Swami Avatarpuriji tells the process when one is initiating as a Swami. If something is not clear, better to ask than follow blindly. Another story of a king's secretary who became a self-made master.
What is God?
Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Atlanta, Georgia, USA. God is formless, nirakar, like the blue sky. When God appears in a form, we are able to touch and speak with Him. In the higher world of Brahman there are no divisions.
Outer Situation Reflects The Inner Situation
Satsang with Swamiji from Wellington, NZ.
With the cleanness of our house
we can see our inner condition.
How we are keeping the ashram
or the house in order, with this
we can see our love and devotion.
We can see if everything is in
beauty. It is our inner beauty, the
inner pureness, our inner clarity
which is reflecting there. Doubts,
desires and hidden wishes we did
not clean up are spoiling our mind.
If we are neglecting our sadhana,
our duties, then tamas guna, the
laziness takes over. It will grow
more and more and we will find
every self excuse for our mental
pollution. Self enquiry meditation,
which is taught in the Yoga in Daily
life Yoga classes will help to clear
up the question - not who am I but
how am I. We have to search within,
how is our inner world and how is
our inner condition. Translation
of the bhajan: Jag musafir dekh vo.
