Prayers To Gurudev
The Divine Mother is the first form of God, and the Guru is that divine consciousness.
Every day is Mother's Day. The Upaniṣad states: "Mātṛ Devo Bhava"—God is the mother first. See God as a merciful mother, not as a punisher. People die by their own karma, not by God's hand. Feel close to God. Do not cause pain to any mother, human or animal. Surrender all responsibility to the divine. Realization of the Gurudev is self-realization; it is not an object to be given. The disciple's consciousness must transform to see the Guru as the divine. The Guru is not the body but the Ātmā—the pure, universal consciousness within all. This consciousness is like the sky: omnipresent, pure, and indescribable. Meditate on this truth to awaken. Duality is an illusion; there is only oneness. Serve this divine consciousness without condition.
"God does not kill anyone. People die through their own karma."
"The Guru is Ātmā, not this body, not this mind, not this intellect."

Gurudev is residingin our hearts
The necessity of a living guru and spiritual family is paramount for crossing the ocean of worldly existence. A solitary traveler on the path will inevitably stumble on obstacles like jealousy, pride, and ego. The guidance of a self-realized master provides the essential light. When one joins a spiritual family, differences and minor confusions may arise, but the united sangha, guided by the guru, moves forward together. Different yogic paths are like rivers merging into the same ocean. Complete surrender to the guru reduces the karmic effects one must face, though challenges will still return. The guru's divine flame resides within each disciple; our sadhana is the fuel that keeps it burning. Faith creates a protective sphere. The guru, like a father, foresees and mitigates difficulties before they fully manifest. He resides in every heart; invoking him within solves problems. Use your discrimination but have unwavering trust. The bond with one's Sadguru is eternal and unbreakable. Stick together as one family; unity provides strength and stability that the winds of adversity cannot overcome.
"Without a Guru, it is impossible to cross that ocean."
"Once a guru, forever a guru."

Blessed moments with Holy Guruji
The guru's presence is a transformative teaching beyond words.
I met Gurujī but did not know Hindi, creating a perceived barrier. Yet, his storytelling was a profound lesson; he fully embodied each character, making them instantly known. That moment taught me the power of non-verbal communication—how body, voice, and movement express inner states and can change our inner world. Every action was a teaching; singing a bhajan, he transformed the atmosphere with immense energy. Being with him was full of that strong energy and love; language was unnecessary. Great souls possess tremendous humor and love that transforms. To be near such energy requires strong nerves and preparation through sādhanā, or one may fall asleep from the intensity. Though Gurujī is no longer physically here, he is present in every satsaṅg and bhajan. Through the bhajans, which are rare and preserved from the paramparā, the guru is with us. We owe the opportunity to know this lineage and these bhajans to Viśva Gurujī.
"Gurujī became every actor, every person in that story."
"Language was never a problem; there was no need to talk."

A Welcome Address on Peace and Yoga
Peace is humanity's deepest longing, achieved through inner transformation. Outer circumstances reflect our inner state; greed, jealousy, and hate destroy peace. We must be the change we wish to see, serving as examples. True peace harmonizes us physically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually. Yoga provides a practical path, developing inner peace through spiritual techniques. This inner peace then reflects outward into our families and the world through our words and actions. The teachings and lineage of our spiritual masters guide this work of selfless service and universal unity, inspiring efforts for global harmony.
"Be the change you want to see."
"One and all, and all in one."
