Meditation with mantra

Purifying the inner instrument begins with mantra and mālā. Sit comfortably and concentrate on the body to feel divine blessing, removing all disturbances and negative energies. This practice cleanses each blood cell and the entire antaḥkaraṇa.

Today is the Mahāsakrānti, an auspicious day when the sun turns north. It also marks sannyāsa dīkṣā for many. Following the rules of sannyāsa leads to Mahāsamādhi, becoming one with Brahman. The rules are not hard; cutting the śikhā signifies freedom from all bonds. Do not lose the guru's command, fall to pride, or change the path. Humility brings higher development. Love every entity as yourself. We are from the lineage of Kapila Bhagavān and Śiva-svarūpa Alakhpurījī.

"Mahāprabhujī said in his golden preachings that you should love each and every entity, if not more, then at least that much as you love thyself."

"Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa said, 'In the Siddhas, I am the Kapil Muni Siddha.'"

Take your mālā in your hands. Hold your mantra and mālā, close your eyes, and sit very comfortably in a good posture. Make yourself comfortable. Through this mantra which we will chant, it is a purification. It is a purification of the antaḥkaraṇa, each and every blood cell, and it removes all kinds of negative energies, all the vikṣipas, the disturbances. Concentrate on your whole body and feel the divine blessing, the showering divine blessing. Oṁ Śrī Devī Svarmā Devī Vāya Namaḥ. (108 times Oṁ) On the occasion of the Mahāsakrānti, and also it’s a very holy day. Sūrya Nārāyaṇa, the sun, is now turning towards the north for our continents. Also, today is a very special day, a very auspicious day, because ten days ago, many of our sannyāsīs received sannyāsa dīkṣā, especially our Māṭājī from Khattu, our Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Svāmī Vivek Purī, Ānandī Purī, and also Nirañjan Purī, and many, many others. On this occasion, I pray to Mahāprabhujī, our Alakhpurījī Siddha Pīṭha, to bless them all who became the sannyāsīs under the shelter of Alakhpurījī, Siddha Pīṭha Paramparā. That they be blessed with bhakti, śakti, vairāgya, tyāga, jñāna, and spiritual development, so that they could fulfill their sannyāsa life. When we faithfully follow the rules and regulations of sannyāsa, then at the end of that life, it is blessed and given a ceremony, and that ceremony is called the Mahāsamādhi, and it is called the Brahmalīna. Brahmalīna means one became one with Brahman. It seems that the rules and regulations which Gurudev gives during the giving of sannyāsa dīkṣā, and during life, seem hard, but they are not. On the day when Gurudev gives the sannyāsa dīkṣā, he cuts the śikhā, the hair. This means to be free from all abundance, all different kinds of bandhas. But if you don’t follow the rules and regulations, if you lose the vakti guru-vakti, then, of course, it’s the opposite. So I pray to all the sannyāsīs, and not only from our paramparā, but all sannyāsīs around the world. I pray for them, to Swayamvushiva, Alakhpurījī, to bless them for their ātmā jñāna. Wish you all the best, and go ahead on your path. Don’t change the path. Don’t fall into the temptations. Do not come to pride and ego. As far as you become humble, that higher development will be. From our mouth, from our voice, from our actions, nothing should happen negatively toward anyone. Mahāprabhujī said in his golden preachings that you should love each and every entity, if not more, then at least that much as you love thyself. Sarve bhavantu sukhinaḥ, sarve santu nirāmayāḥ, sarve bhadrāṇi paśyantu, mā kaścid duḥkhabhāg bhavet. (Bhagavad Gītā) This day, we adore our Akhāṛās, Bhagavān Kapilbhūni Jī. Bhagavāna Nāśī Akhāṛā Kapil Muni Jīho, Great Kapila, Siddha. Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa said, "In the Siddhas, I am the Kapil Muni Siddha." Nāma Kapilo, name comes first, the Siddhas, Kapil Bhagavān. So we are from this Gaḍī Paramparā of Kapila Bhagavān and Śiva-svarūpa Alakhpurījī. We are blessed when we came and we found the path. I pray for you, for your enlightenment. Oṁ Śānti, Śānti, Śānti. Alakhpurījī Siddha Paramparā Kī Jai, Sanātana Dharma Kī Jai. Adio.
