On this day of Raksha Bandhan, let us keep in mind the connections of love that make this entire world one family.
So many places are facing crisis situations. Floods, earthquakes, wildfires, war, to mention a few. On the spiritual path, it is essential to see oneness everywhere. When any part is suffering, the Whole cannot be at ease. This entire creation is one family. It is time to truly learn the principle of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam and start to grow this energy of unconditional love for all. On this day, we celebrate Raksha Bandhan, the divine connection between a brother and sister. The Rakhi is a symbol of love and protection worn on the wrist, a constant reminder to keep love for others as the priority of life, and transform any self-centeredness. To see the same self shining in all and work hard to uplift the world with one’s light and compassion. This Raksha Bandhan, as Shreeman Narayan and Devi Parvati helped each other in their most difficult times, let us remember to offer that same hope, help, and love to everyone. Not just today, but every day. Let us hold a moment of silence remembering all those affected by the floods in Nepal and many other places that are facing an hour of darkness. We dedicate our prayers to them today, asking Bhagavan to help the light to shine through this very tough time for them. May He help everyone to come through this with His strength and grace. Shubh Raksha Bandhan. Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu, Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi, Shri Gurubhyo Namah Hari Om.

When the soil under my feet gets turned over, give me Balarāma's strength. And when my own mind goes into eclipse, don't let me mistake a passing shadow for the end of your love.
The thread loosens, the soil gets broken open, the moon slips into shadow and the bond underneath all three of them doesn't move.
Shubha Rakshabandhan!!!

As long as one has a ‘rescue fantasy’, one’s experience of SatGuru and God will be very limited.
A being who can rescue you from misery. Who can protect you when you feel unsafe. Someone who will love when you can’t love yourself. God and Satguru is and constantly gives all these things and infinite more. But He will first teach one to become so strong to be one’s own savior. So loving to rescue oneself from misery. So humble to protect oneself from all harm. So confident to be one’s own best friend. Become so truly loving to yourself that you can correct your mistakes without harsh self-criticism or arrogant ego. Simply with wonder at Bhagavan’s immense love and SatGuru Grace . This is the experience of God in your heart. He will free you fully from inside. And hold onto that experience, the values, qualities, and traits that led you to experiencing His unshakeable peace in your heart. Don’t let go of the inner qualities to now start experiencing God externally. The One who is everywhere infinite in quantity, who is the soul of your soul, who is present with form, name, and personality of His own. That One will also reveal Himself externally fully. Don’t ever doubt that. But don’t let go of the inner experience to hunt for the external, that will not work. Without the inner loving qualities, Bhagavan cannot reveal Himself in any way.

When an atma leaves the world very suddenly, people say it was before its time, but what does that mean?
God helps everyone. He protects and takes care of everyone. No matter when the atma leaves this world, Bhagavan is there with everyone. Even if someone leaves suddenly, He will help them on their onward journey. He will help them to heal fully and realize His lotus feet in their heart. Everyone is loved and saved. Everyone can and will attain His feet. Each one moves at their speed which is known only to that atma and Paramatma. Bhagavan is the lord of unconditional love. In His heart, there is only love for all. His loving mercy and protection of every beloved atma is always present. Sometimes one can reach the ultimate goal in this life, sometimes it is waiting for one in a next life. Don’t judge anyone or worry about anything. Just do the best one can with love and kindness. And trust in Him. He knows how difficult things can get. He knows how hard the lessons are. He never leaves anyone alone. Others looking in may feel that one is not trying hard enough, but the atma knows and Bhagavan always knows. Always be filled with His love and know that He is the most merciful. There is no need to worry excessively. Trust in Him. Let the heart always be comforted in Him.

Learning to be okay with “I don’t know, but I’m happy to learn.”
How many people are alright with saying that? Accepting that one doesn’t know everything. Everyone is always learning, always growing. One doesn’t stop being a student. Because life itself is a school. It is beautiful to keep the mind open to all possibilities regardless of age or any other circumstances. Keep learning. Grow. Be curious. Develop critical thinking. Test your faith against difficult questions. Faith isn’t something to just close one’s eyes and accept foolishly. Faith is built on a solid foundation only when you yourself are sure that it can withstand the test of time, of difficult questions, of still loving and having meaningful discussions with those who don’t have the same thought or path as you. Even within one path, everyone is different. How can everyone be the same? It’s not possible. Each one is unique. The beauty is in accepting that. The exciting thing is to grow by learning from everyone. Love is fostered when you wish to grow with the world. You can see perfection in imperfection. You can see God where earlier you could not. It’s okay to not know everything. Life is to be lived. Loved. Enjoyed. Made extraordinary for all beings that you spend time with. This planet is so filled with life, it is actually so easy to love all the time. There are countless ways to grow your love. Make your mind curious and open. Allow it to soar to the heights of peace and joy. Let your mind become your best friend. Accept what you don’t know, but keep learning. Share your best self with the world, and allow God to take care of you in return.

[Swami Vishwananda @vishwananda]

The Guru does precisely how much is necessary for true positive change.
For example, if one is going to change one’s negative pattern with exactly ten points of pressure, the Guru applies exactly ten. Not nine, not eleven. He is only interested in bringing one to unconditional love as one has asked him to do. He will not do anything one has not asked. And he will not stop doing what one has asked. Until one changes one’s mind, until one’s decision changes. He will keep working the way one has asked him to do. He will always give his very best. The perfect servant leader. The perfect goldsmith, he knows how much a piece of gold needs to be cast as a beautiful bracelet. And how much another needs to be cast as necklace. It is what each one has asked him to do. One is always free to take back that request. If the change from negativity to infinite positivity is too difficult, one is always free to ask him to go slow or stop altogether. He is the perfect doctor. Like Guru Arjan Dev ji wrote, “Mera Baid Guru Govinda” - my doctor is Guru Govinda. He doesn’t do what will hurt one. But he won’t stop removing the poison that one has asked him to remove. However, if one refuses to take the medicine, he also will never force. His mercy and freedom knows no bounds. He takes the poison and the blame. But hands out only love and mercy. This is his eternal promise. The fortunate see his love and glimpse the Eternal One in his heart.

People keep questioning why they are receiving pain, why there is so much suffering in the world. Why doesn’t God, Guru take it away?
But do you know that the true fight is always inside? It feels like it is outside, people, situations, and so on. But it is always the One energy which is in movement everywhere. The Oneness that is manifest within and outside you. And the fight can never be fought, won, or lost on the outside. It is always inside. What did Bhagavan Sri Krishna show Arjun? That it is the inner state which has to be controlled to actually win the fight inside and outside. It is the atma itself that is fighting the lower parts of your psyche which are strangling it. The karmas one doesn’t pay any attention to, that one is happily creating mountains of, they are like thorny vines. They strangle the tiny plant which is the atma. They compete with it for food. They steal its nutrients. They look for ways that the gardener which is you, don’t look at the tiny plant of the atma. Because it is filled with so much joy, love, and devotion that you will never look at the weeds and thorny vines ever again. You will be in so much bliss with the atma which is revealing Bhagavan to you, that you will never want to look at anything else. When you try to walk with love on the spiritual path, you give strength to that tiny plant of love inside you. The atma is strengthened to fight against the vines that are trying to keep it silent, trying to subdue its presence using any means necessary. And with your small sparks of love and devotion, the atma fights off the vines strangling it, so that you can finally have peace and love. This is the true pain that everyone goes through. The outside is always only a mirror. It is never the true battlefield, no matter how much it may look like that. The fight within is the battlefield you must enter and win. And yet who is blamed for any pain? The Paramatma who is further locked up inside the atma. Like a seed in a fruit. He is blamed for one’s pain. He has been locked up and forgotten inside since the moment the atma was formed. But does anyone care about His pain? How much He longs to jump out from within and reveal His endless love to you? A love that has been strangled and suffocated, hidden away and forced to go through so much. Yet He only loves all the time, deep and enduring love that has faced so much violence from the other parts of one’s psyche. The atma causes the self pain when fighting the inner demons so that it can free itself and release the Paramatma locked up within. But is the atma to be silenced again because you can’t handle the pain of the medicine it is giving out? Does one want to continue living in misery, in shackles, in darkness and forgetfulness of everything that’s truly good and joyful? Because that’s the outcome of silencing your atma. Look at the mirror of the outside and use it to strengthen your love and devotion. Allow your atma to finally be free. Let the Antaryami come out and walk with you after all this time of being forgotten.

[Swami Vishwananda @vishwananda]

Often people wonder, “if one was already with God at the beginning, then what is the need for creation, for coming here, or for going on the spiritual journey, just to go back to Him one day?”
This question only comes to those who have still not understood life. How extraordinary is this gift given by Bhagavan. That one is eternally with Him yet has the experience of separation, just to see how truly glorious He is. That Great Being which the atma loves with all its heart. In a simple way; when one identifies so much with the body, can you have gratitude for its divine origin? How perfect is its every organ, bone, and vein. How strong yet delicate it is. How the five elements come together so perfectly, that science has not been able to understand even the smallest atom of it. In the same way, to truly know Bhagavan, how sweet, how loving, all-pervading, omnipotent and omniscient He is - one takes on this illusion of separation for a short while. This is life. The atma willingly takes on this veil of forgetfulness so that in remembering again, it is struck with greater wonder how amazing Paramatma is. How amazing its relationship with Paramatma is. The atma is never separated from Bhagavan, but it consciously humbles itself into a forgetful little being, so that it can gaze up in wonder towards its Beloved. The one who it serves with love constantly. Even a small moment of this realization is so blissful that the atma is willing to go through anything just to know its dearest Bhagavan’s infinite prem. To be a servant of that Great Being, the atma is forever ready. The flow of creation from and towards Bhagavan is prem and bhakti themselves. Don’t look down upon this gift of life that one has been given. No matter how difficult things may seem in the moment, they are nothing in the face of Unconditional Love’s eternity. Enjoy thoroughly, love fully, and share your gratitude for God’s presence with all. Then all of life’s misery will flow away as one takes a dip in the innermost Sangam of prem, bhakti, and sharanagati.

[Swami Vishwananda @vishwananda]

The instinct to know more about everything is a fundamentally human characteristic.
For thousands of years, humans have been exploring everything. From the ocean, to space, to the development of trees, to other human minds and their behaviors. Curiosity about the self and the environment around the self is the growth of consciousness from simply existing with basic instincts of food, shelter, safety, care, and reproduction - to higher levels of consciousness like logical reasoning, delayed gratification, costly altruism, all the way to self, life, and God-realization. This inner fire to grow in joy, to learn and be inspired, to question and humbly realize should be kept alive within you. It is the way the atma interacts with the world. It is the way one keeps expanding the consciousness. Anyone who tells you to stop questioning within your heart and not follow that deep and true intuition within you is a deluded person. Become curious about the intuition, the inner voice of the self. Where is its origin point? Does it feel like the guidance from love and wisdom? Or does it lead to fear and ego? With this repeated questioning of the self, one can polish the intuition. Allowing it to submerge into the will of the atma. Allowing one to let go of the egoistic illusion and emerge steadily into the eternal reality of Bhagavan. With the SatGuru, in the Sanatan Dharma, one is not taught blind faith. One is taught to use every resource to its highest potential with love. One is taught to respect and care for all beings like they are each a part of one’s own heart. One is taught that nothing is greater or lesser than the other. Not even other paths are judged as inferior. One is encouraged to understand one’s own deep inner intuition and follow it towards Bhagavan. And to bring that inner vision, that unrealized dream into concrete actions and intentions. Through working on the self, one helps the world. And through loving everyone, one helps oneself. Love is a beautiful upward spiral of existence.

[Swami Vishwananda @vishwananda]

With the SatGuru, one learns from within the heart that God is just as much here in the imperfect world as He is in the perfection of everything, Vaikuntha.
Often people distance God by thinking, saying, and behaving as though He is only in some perfect place and here in the imperfect world, He is less available or not really available at all. But this thinking is not true at the highest level. God is everywhere and in everything. In His fullness. Always. This world seems imperfect because one is looking through an imperfect lens of the mind. But the enlightened saints never thought that this world is not good. They could see the absolute perfection of the world. Even what others judged and hated, the saints loved and worshiped. Because they could only see Bhagavan. In the imperfection as well as in perfection. And truly He is. Not because He ever becomes imperfect, but rather He wears the cloaks of imperfections so that love can truly become unconditional. This world is God enjoying God’s love. It is always Him experiencing an aspect of His own self in everyone. He sees His own love wearing infinite cloaks of perfection and imperfection. And because He is always growing, that love through the play of imperfect and perfect, becomes purer and more beautiful through every moment. Never look down on this world. It is filled with extraordinary love, as a perfect stage where the jeevatmas can submerge fully in their egoistic role or be fully aware of their true identity as a tiny spark of Bhagavan. Submerged in one’s ego or submerged in God’s endless love and joy. You choose. And you do choose, in every moment. When you become aware of that choice, then your experience of perfection can grow.

[Swami Vishwananda @vishwananda]

Not everything has to be manifest on the outside to be real.
Sometimes love can remain and grow within the heart without being spoken. But it can be felt. It can be experienced by the one you give that love to. They will feel your love for them within their own heart. This is the nature of the atma. It knows love. Sometimes the greatest love cannot be expressed in words. Like Radha and Krishna. When they would meet, they didn’t talk about how much they loved each other. They often made the play of fighting with each other. Playing pranks on each other. Even ignoring each other and hiding. But their love was known fully to each other. Sometimes silence is greater than outward expression. There are times when one should let the love explode within and yet let the outside go on as it has to. Leaving the outside fully in Bhagavan’s hands. No matter how your life looks externally, within your heart you can be with God fully. But this type of love which is a part of how God Himself loves everyone, you have to dedicate yourself to it completely. Then He will give you constant companionship with Him. You will know and feel His loving presence in a very real and grounded way. Often the SatGuru keeps the outside and inside in tension with each other. What is felt within isn’t seen on the outside. What is experienced outside doesn’t feel the same as the inside. But this is the churning of the mind. Where love is purified. Where one learns to be fully grounded despite any storm. Don’t let the churning make you doubt or lose your way. He is always with you.

[Swami Vishwananda @vishwananda]

People like to go into fantasies because real life can get so difficult to live.
But with the SatGuru, real life becomes better than the wildest dream and greatest fantasy. With Him, one lifetime can reveal the ultimate path for the atma which is hidden behind nearly countless veils. Twenty years can show you that you never knew how life worked at all but that it is more beautiful than you ever imagined. Ten years can show you how extraordinary the strength He has placed inside you really is. One year can show you that your dreams can come true so quickly. One month can feel like eras have passed because the One you prayed for has arrived in front of your eyes. One week can show you how every day has such beautiful facets of Bhagavan and His worship. One day is enough to change the course of your life forever. One hour in His company can remove every sorrow from your mind. One minute can transform into a thousand because He has given you Darshan. And one single moment of blinking the eyes and a fraction of focus on His lotus feet being lost, feels like one was separated from the Antaryami for a millennium. Time changes completely with the SatGuru. Long years pass by so fast. Few moments stretch into eternity. That which people only hear about but do not believe. The prophesies of the scriptures. The greatness and closeness of Bhagavan. The sweetness and infinity of His love. All becomes manifest in a bhakta’s life through just trusting and loving the SatGuru. Waiting for His divine right time rather than impatience because of one’s own timeline. All is received in a moment and also a lifetime is not enough to spend in the divine relationship of love. When your waking moments become better than your most desired dreams, when they stay like that all the time. When you give thanks in every moment because He has made life so good, so filled with Bhagavan. When you don’t know how to stop serving because you see how much He has always served you. Then you will know. Then you will walk with love no matter how hard the path may look right now. Because you know, not just believe, but you know that all is the very best with Him. And you never have to worry because He is with you and loves you infinitely.

[Swami Vishwananda @vishwananda]

Without constant meditation on Bhagavan’s lotus feet, one can never hope to know what is His will, the will of the atma in entering this life.
To have any hope of making this life successful, where the atma does not repent but instead leaps with joy when death comes, one has to work very hard. Focused and constant work on the self to submit one’s ego and selfish will to the will of the atma which is aligned with the greater Will of Bhagavan. Every atma plays a small part in His eternal play of love. But whether one wants to play a good role or a foolish one. Whether one wants to act unconsciously or consciously. Whether one wants to hear Him when He speaks and follow word for word with love and dedication, or one wishes to put one’s own interpretation to what He says. These are some of the choices that make up one’s life. These are the eternal choices that your atma carries with itself. The choices made in one life are not forgotten nor do they become immaterial on the other side. They always matter. They stay forever. Just like Sri Ram showed so beautifully the eternal nature of a single word spoken years ago when He wasn’t even born. Every choice the jeevatma makes, stays with the atma. The atma bears it either as a burden or as a blessing. Depending upon whether one’s selfish will was held onto or it was repeatedly surrendered to Bhagavan. Only by knowing Bhagavan’s will for the atma, one’s life can become successful here. Meditate on His feet and keep working to transform the self. Don’t stop this work. Let it become your joy and freedom. Through your work, it will become the greatest path.

[Swami Vishwananda @vishwananda]

Learning about the SatGuru’s path should make one more open-minded.
However, most often when one starts learning, one starts to put boxes and labels on things to store thoughts in the mind. One tries to do the same with the SatGuru all the time. Because it is very difficult for the mind to accept uncertainty or not knowing. However, a truly loving heart is always accompanied by a truly open mind. They cannot exist separate from each other. They help each other to become stronger and purer. So if one wants to walk on the path of spirituality, clean the mind and open it to infinite divine possibilities manifesting in each moment. Then both love and wisdom can arise. Because they always come in a pair. Bhagavan Sri Krishna did not tell Arjun to love Him and remain ignorant. He told Arjun that to be able to love Him fully, Arjun must first fully purify his mind. This is how it is explained in our Tadatmya Vedanta as well. The process with which one slowly moves to the anubhav or experience of oneness with Paramatma. Without this inner work, without completely purifying one’s mind, one can never surrender the mind fully. After complete purification, then the choice or willingness to surrender can actually arise. Before that, one is still working, trying to walk on the spiritual path. So even if the SatGuru showed one that His swaroop, roop, tattva, divinity, everything is the same as the Supreme Lord. That unlike for others, there is no difference in quantity or quality, for Him and the Supreme Lord. Would one be able to understand or accept? No. Because the mind has not become capable to receive such an enormous understanding or experience, the darshan of God is still far away. That is why it is not enough to read once and stop after the first wave of understanding. Read what the SatGuru has given so many times that it becomes one with your mind. Listen to His words so often that only His truth moves through your thoughts. Spend every hour of your life diving into the vast ocean that the SatGuru has opened for all. That is Love and Wisdom. Diving continuously in the ocean and collecting the pearls hidden within; Naam Smaran, Bhajan, Shravan, Paaraayan (devoted reading of divine words), and so many countless ways that the SatGuru has given to grow close to Him. Time always feels very short for a devoted bhakta. Because there are infinite ways to grow in His love, yet a finite number of breaths in this life.

[Swami Vishwananda @vishwananda]

The day an extraordinary promise was made.
On the first Ashadhi Ekadashi celebrated in the world, Bhagavan Sri Hari made a promise that would change everything for all ages to come. So many divine events happen on this day; Bhagavan going into Yog Nidra in Vaikuntha for 4 months (Chaturmaas) to show the world the beauty of Dhyaan and Bhakti. He also spends these 4 months in Patal Lok to be close to Raja Bali. The 4 months of His outward absence are also to glorify all the other Deities - Lord Shiva, Ganesha, Divine Mother, Kuber, the divine serpents and Nagraj on Nag Panchami, and all others. Yet Shreemad Narayana’s one promise is still the greatest of all. The very first form He takes, the very first celebration of Him in chaturmaas after Ashadhi Ekadashi, is of the SatGuru. Guru Purnima. The one form that is His fully, which manifests all His mysteries, the One who resides in Vaikuntha, Patal Lok, Bhu Lok, and everywhere else at once is the SatGuru. On Ashadhi Ekadashi, the Supreme Lord of the Universe made the promise for His eternity and future incarnation as the SatGuru. The incarnation who would walk the earth and give all the ultimate destination of all lifetimes, paths, traditions, wisdom and religions. Whose every message, effort, and ultimate divinity would be directed only towards Unconditional Divine Love. To manifest in everyone’s heart and life the knowing that love is the ultimate reality. That God is Love. All who would come before Him would lay the path for Him. Because He wouldn’t give the world hundreds of messages, multiple commands, or dozens of rules. His one message, one command, one rule would only be of Unconditional Love. But to concentrate everything into the highest divine energy of Love, is not an easy or quick path. It is the longest pilgrimage. The hardest journey. The most unknown path. Yet His promise to come as that Avatar, the Master, the Lord of Lords to give that ultimate and continuous experience of God to all, has withstood the test of time and proven itself true. Starting from Ashadhi Ekadashi to the days leading up to Guru Purnima, make every effort to realize what the SatGuru is giving. Shubhecha, the very best of wishes from my heart, to all on the lovely day of Ashadhi Devshayani Ekadashi.
