A Gathering in Devotion and Discipline
The program begins with devotional singing followed by a disciplinary practice. A bhajan is sung, emphasizing concentration on the Guru's feet as the source of fortune. The cycle of birth and death is deleted only through meditation and repeating the divine name. Life passes from childhood play to the suffering of old age, underscoring the urgency of practice. A training exercise for the sense of taste involves receiving a nut but not eating it. One must always act according to the place and situation. A physical practice involves holding a position on the knees while warming the face with the hands.
"May my eyes be concentrated on the lotus feet of my Gurudev."
"Tera Janam Maran Mit Jai Re... It will be deleted. Janam means rebirth. Maraṇ means death."
