Help from the Rishis

Mr. Manish Gajjar, a Meditator on The Saptarishis Path, under the Guidance of Guruji Krishnananda shares the strength and healing he received while undergoing a surgical operation:

“I recently underwent an operation. Before getting into the operation theatre, I prayed to the Rishis to be with me and also prayed to Light to enter each and every cell of my body. My operation was successful and I did not feel the pain which the surgeon said I would experience. What’s more, my healing was surprisingly faster than I thought! ‪#‎Rishis‬ always help and Light always heals.”

This is an excerpt from the August 2014 issue of the monthly Newsletter – Doorways – from Manasa Foundation.

Why Should We Meditate?

A student on the Spiritual Path asked me, “Why should we meditate?” 

People take up Meditations for different reasons to begin with. They take up Meditations usually to find solutions to their various problems—health issues, financial difficulties, problems with relationships, to overcome stress, to find peace and so on. 

After they spend some time meditating, they realise that there is a greater purpose in taking up Spiritual Practice. They become aware of higher Truths, higher realities, and their problems either get resolved or they begin to look less important or trivial. 

As they spend more time in their Sadhana, their goal shifts from solving their problems to achieving higher Spiritual goals. 

Their goal keeps expanding, and ultimately, they set their goal on attaining freedom—to free themselves from all bondages and to become Light, and go back to their Source. 

Our Source is Light. Our Source is God. Our ultimate goal is to go back to Him and become Him. 

Until we reach the highest goal, Meditations help us live this life sensibly, peacefully and fully. 

Living this life in this moment properly is most important. If we live properly in the present, the future is taken care of automatically. 

So, we take up Meditations for many reasons in the beginning, and ultimately, to become Light. (Based on the teachings of Guruji Krishnananda)

LIGHT IN THE DETAILS OF LIFE – by Guruji Krishnananda

Light provides wisdom and courage. Light also awakens. When we awaken we have to reject all that is not right, all that is corrupt. We have to reject the dark. We have to reject the negative things, which means we have to act. Light helps. Remember, Light always helps. Light always works. But we too have to work.

We have to make great efforts. Only when we choose goodness and honesty in all details of life, we can say we are working for the Revolution by Light.

We as individuals have to change and transform. It is only then the Revolution begins. Revolution begins with the individuals. Then the systems, which are made of individuals will change.

Revolution by Light works at all levels, at the level of energy, at the Astral level and most importantly, at the individual level.

Retiring from the World

A student on the Spiritual Path asked me, “When should we retire from the world?”

This is a decision that can only be taken by the individual. I cannot tell you when you should retire.

But I can give you some general guidelines. 

What exactly do you mean by retirement? Is it giving up all your responsibilities, going to Himalayas and meditating in a cave?

In which case, you have to make arrangements for your responsibilities to be taken care of by someone else. We can’t just run away. We have to take permission from the people who are connected to us, who are dependent on us.

There must be a higher purpose in taking such retirement. Is it to take up intense Sadhana?

This world is our place of learning. This world is our University. And this world is a very beautiful world. We should not think of giving up this world and going away somewhere.

Where do we go from here? To which other world or area? God has gifted us this beautiful world.

We have come here to live in this world and not to retire or escape. This is very important. (Based on the teachings of Guruji Krishnananda)
