Gurudev Uvacha

For a beginner in the spiritual path, a Guru is necessary. To light a candle, you need a burning candle. Even so, an illumined soul alone can enlighten another soul. Some do meditation for some years independently. Later on, they actually feel the necessity of a Guru, They come across some obstacles in the way. They are unable to know how to obviate these impediments or stumbling blocks. Then they begin to search for a Master.

======================================================================= ======================================================================== Tuesday, December 21, 2021. 6:00. AM. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MIND : ======================================================================= ===================================================================== 1.The prime characteristic of the mind is externalization.

====================================================================== ====================================================================== Sunday, May 22, 2022. 20:30. An Introduction to Sadhana : (Spoken during the Sadhana Week held at Sivanandanagar in the year 1965.) ====================================================================== The Sadhana Saptaha or the Sadhana-week is a period in which we are supposed to recall to our mind the principles for which we live on earth and the way in which we have to conduct ourselves in life.

============================================================================ ========================================================================== Sunday,December 19, 2021. 6;00. AM. #ON 'PEACE' : A SUMMARY ===================================================================== Many are working today for the promotion of world peace without having peace in themselves. Their loud propaganda, big talk and lectures cause more confusion, conflict and discord.

A glorious new era of peace, amity, love and prosperity can be ushered in, only if the youth of the day is educated in the methods of self-culture. Educate the moral conscience of the public.
