Amrit Sagar
A satsang discourse on the spiritual significance of a devotional bhajan and the nature of divine light.
"All the names I have given to you are beautiful, beautiful names. For example, Amṛt Sāgar."
"This bhajan is not only beautiful, but it is the whole cosmos, everything in one."
Swami Māheśvarānanda leads a gathering, reflecting on a recent trip to Vienna and the previous day's program led by a disciple named Amṛt Sāgar. He explains the profound meaning of her name—"Ocean of Nectar"—and the cosmic significance of a bhajan composed by his guru, Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandjī. He shares stories of his guru's compassion and the journey of the disciple Amṛtsāgar, while elucidating the bhajan's key words: prakāś (light), amṛt (nectar), and sāgar (ocean), describing them as metaphors for the soul, immortality, and divine consciousness that permeates the universe.
