Bhajans on the Satsang
A devotee expresses a profound longing for spiritual liberation and the Guru's grace. The plea is to become the dust at the Guru's feet, seeking awakening through a sacred mantra. The request is for all karmic bonds to be severed. The heart yearns for the Guru's holy company, a longing so deep it brings tears. The devotion culminates in repeated, fervent invocations and praises to the divine Guru and the lineage.
"O Gurudev, please let me be the dust of your feet."
"Please remove all the chains of my karmas."

Bhajan singing on the Satsang
The human opportunity is singular; the mind must repeat the divine name. Surrender to the true Guru at whose feet all pilgrimages reside; he destroys doubts and bad qualities and grants liberation from worldly existence. Through his grace, one receives his vision and realizes the true Self. The Guru, established in the absolute, is the universe's protector and his glory is beyond description.
"Give your body and mind to Sāddhā Gurudeva, and he will destroy all your doubts and all your bad qualities."
"Through Guru Kṛpā, through the mercy of Gurū Deva, we receive his darśan. And at his holy lotus feet, we recognize the Ātmā."

The Guru will never die
The many forms of yoga are a beautiful garden of diverse flowers, all leading to the same truth. All teachers and techniques are valuable parts of one whole, like different children of the same parents. Harmony among all paths is essential; we must unite in Satya Yoga. The Guru's blessings are eternal, transcending the physical body. Criticizing other paths reveals a burning heart and causes inner harm. Modern medicine and ancient wisdom both have their place in preserving life. The soul is attached to the body but seeks release. Specific practices like Brahmari pranayama use sound to heal and awaken the system through careful, gradual practice.
"All yoga teachers, yoga practitioners, their schools, and their ashrams should be in harmony together."
"One in all and all in one."

The principle of non-violence
A recent global illness was a lesson for humanity alone. This disease did not affect birds, insects, or animals. Humans slaughter creatures, destroy forests, and pollute waters. Many were asked if pure vegetarian practitioners were affected; they were not. The pandemic forced families to reunite and understand each other. Ancient texts speak of great cyclical transformations. The essence of Sanātana Dharma is respect for all nature and living in harmony. True progress requires a single spiritual guide within a lineage, avoiding division.
"Humans come very close, slaughtering the animals."
"In that Sanātana Dharma, their discipline or their way of living, and so they are family—husband and wife and children, mother, father and children, neighbors."

The Weight of Life and the Resolve of a Student
The Weight of Life and the Resolve of a Student
Bhāra means weight. All weight on our shoulders—negativity, happiness, sadness—we give to Gurudev. Life’s troubles and joys, we place in Gurudev’s hands. We remember God and Gurudev when troubles come. Dhṛḍha Niścaya means determination. The five qualities of a student include the determination of a crow. A crow wanted water from a pot with a narrow opening. It collected pebbles and dropped them in until the water rose. The subconscious mind can make anything reality. We are not worthy, but within, everything is possible. Live in the world like a lotus in muddy water. Offer all bad qualities at Gurudev’s lotus feet. Act without expectation. In the last moment, let that be in Gurudev’s hands. The world is in Gurudev’s hands. Our actions and mālās are in our hands. The lotus has a protective layer; mud falls off. Responsibilities are like mud. Two wolves live in the mind—one of bad qualities, one of goodness. Thoughts are food; whichever wolf we feed awakens. Sarasvatī holds a vīṇā. Strings too tight break; too loose make no sound. Life is balance. Too much work is stress; too little is boredom. Too much talking creates confusion; too little creates distance. Sarasvatī teaches harmony, balance, unity, clarity, awareness. Words have power. One person believing in us changes life. Gurudev thinks of us before we think of ourselves. Speak with awareness, listen with patience. Arguments start without awareness and patience. Mālā teaches awareness and patience. Everything originates from somewhere. All forms of the Goddess originate from Bhagavatī Parāmbhā.
"Jo jag me rahū̃, to aise rahū̃, jo jal me kamal kā phūl rahe."
"Jaba jaba saṁsāra kā kārya banū, niṣkāma bhāva se karma karū."
