Krishna on Mastering Desires

Trying to suppress desire by force does not free you.

You may avoid the object, but the craving can still remain inside.

Krishna teaches in the Gita that desire loses its power only when the mind experiences something higher.

How to master desire
1. Observe it
Notice the mind before, during and after indulgence.
2. Use discernment
See clearly how short the pleasure lasts.
3. Replace, do not just resist
Choose higher inputs like breathwork, mantra, music, nature and silence.
4. Take small pauses
Even a few moments of inner stillness reduce dependence on outer pleasure.
5. Outgrow, do not suppress
Real freedom comes when inner peace becomes more attractive than craving.

Do not fight desire blindly. Understand it, refine it and rise above it.
Bhagavad Gita 2.59

Lahiri Mahasaya emphasised that spiritual transformation requires more than words or good intentions.

In the yogic understanding, our past actions leave deep impressions or Samskaras, within us.

Through Pranayama, we work at a deeper level to purify these impressions and gradually loosen the hold of past conditioning.

Real transformation comes through practice.

Lahiri Mahasaya spoke about how breath and mind are connected.

In yoga philosophy, breath (Prana) and mind (Chitta) are two sides of the same coin. When the mind is agitated, breathing is fast; when the mind calms down, breathing slows down.

Pranayama uses subtle, focused breathing and mental awareness along the spine to pull life energy back inside. Through steady practice, the body becomes deeply oxygenated and the nervous system completely relaxes. The physical breath slows down so much that it naturally pauses or becomes nearly imperceptible on its own—without any forced holding.

When I look through the mind, I see numberless people. When I look beyond the mind, I see the witness. Beyond the witness there is the infinite intensity of emptiness and silence.

🙏❤️ 40-DAY HANUMAN CHALISA SANKALP | SEPT 11 – OCT 20 ❤️🙏
An Invitation to Devotion & Inner
---

40-day Hanuman Chalisa Sankalp (vow), starting September 11 and ending October 20, 2026 — which falls on Dussehra, a Tuesday.

This period is described as the “most beautiful phase for Hanuman Ji’s blessings”. The journey begins on a New Moon (Amavasya) and concludes on Dussehra, the festival that celebrates Lord Rama’s victory over Ravana — symbolizing the triumph of good over evil.

The practice is called “Hanuman Chaliya” — a daily commitment to chanting the Hanuman Chalisa for 40 consecutive days.

---

🪔 WHY 40 DAYS?
In Hindu tradition, 40 days is considered a sacred duration for discipline, purification, and spiritual transformation. It’s believed that consistent daily prayer during this time helps devotees overcome difficulties, gain courage, and feel closer to Hanuman Ji’s protection and grace.

📿 HOW TO TAKE YOUR SANKALP ON SEPTEMBER 11

Prepare Yourself → Take a bath and sit in a clean, quiet place in front of a Hanuman Ji idol or image.
Take the Vow (Sankalp) → With folded hands, sincerely say:

“Hanuman Ji, I commit to reading your Chalisa once every day for 40 days. Please help me complete this sankalp. Give me strength to face my difficulties and keep me close to you.”

You can say this in any language you’re comfortable with. Language isn’t a barrier — Hanuman Ji understands even your silence and already knows what’s in your heart.

Daily Practice → After the sankalp, read the Hanuman Chalisa once daily until October 20, Dussehra.

After Chanting → If you feel like it, sit and talk to Hanuman Ji. Share everything that’s on your heart. Sometimes, just speaking to Him can make you feel lighter and more at peace.

---

🕉️ THE SPIRITUAL MEANING BEHIND IT
September 11 → New Moon = A time for new beginnings, letting go of negativity, and setting intentions.

October 20 → Dussehra (Tuesday) = A day dedicated to Hanuman Ji, who helped Lord Rama defeat Ravana. It symbolizes victory over fear, obstacles, and evil in your own life.

Jai Shri Ram! Jai Hanuman Ji! 🙏🐒

Krishnamurti on Solitude

“It is very important to go out alone, to sit under a tree—not with a book, not with a companion, but by yourself—and observe the falling of a leaf, hear the lapping of the water, the fishermen’s song, watch the flight of a bird, and of your own thoughts as they chase each other across the space of your mind. If you are able to be alone and watch these things, then you will discover extraordinary riches which no government can tax, no human agency can corrupt, and which can never be destroyed.”

[Introvert Problems @IntrovertProbss]

Introverts will spend hours alone and never feel lonely, then spend two hours around people and need the rest of the day to recover

[Swami Maharaji @SwamiMaharaji]

"I AM" itself is God. The seeking itself is God. In seeking you discover that you are neither body nor mind, but the love of the self in you for the self in all. The two are one. The consciousness in you and the consciousness in me, apparently two, really one, seek unity, and that is love.

It is the person you imagine yourself to be that suffers, not you.
Dissolve it in awareness. It is merely a bundle of memories and habits.
