Benefits of Meditation
Meditation has the power to transform you physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Let me explain what I mean by health in these four areas. Physical health means digesting whatever you eat and having that food become part of your body. Mental health means digesting all the ideas and problems that you encounter and forming a…

The purpose of meditation itself is to bring the fourth state of turiya into our waking state and deep sleep state
The more we meditate, the more our awareness increases, and the closer we move to the consciousness of the fourth or turiya state. Turiya itself means fourth. You cannot give an exact name to this state. It is known by many other names: samadhi, enlightenment, atmagnana, brahmagnana, nirvana, satori, to name some of them. They…

What meditation can do and why meditation needs to be practiced ?
We experience two states of mind in our day-to-day life, one is with thoughts, the other is without thoughts. We know we have thoughts when we are awake. In deep sleep, do we have thoughts? No. So there are two states of mind: with thoughts and without thoughts.

After spending two-three years with you, why do people leave? How can they leave? Why don’t you keep them?
That is the greatness of a living master. He never hypnotizes you. He never brainwashes you. He gives you all the possibilities. You can leave even after ten years. The doors are open. An ordinary teacher will try to build things, teach things, create systems and setups from which you can’t leave. But with the…

How do I become your disciple?
Actually, if you are unclutched, you can get into my circle. Being unclutched directly connects you to me. A tremendous energy starts flowing through you. What do I mean by unclutched? Being relaxed without clinging on to any person or thought or thing.

Is the statement, ‘When the student is ready, master appears’ right?
Yes, the statement is right. When the student is ready, master appears. Sometimes, even when the student is not ready, out of compassion, master appears. He gives the possibility. Even people who are not ready can take the quantum jump. So I extend my hand for the possibility.

How does trust develop between a disciple and a master? Is the disciple justified in demanding some proof or does the master expect unconditional surrender?
First thing, neither can the disciple have unconditional surrender nor can he stop asking for proof. Disciple means he will be demanding solid proof from the master to prove he is authentic. Second thing, he will not have all the qualifications to be a real disciple. That is a disciple. He will not be a…

Does the master choose the disciple or does the disciple choose the master?
Does the master choose the disciple or does the disciple choose the master? First thing, it is actually the disciple who chooses the master. Because master never chooses. The master just showers. He is like the sacred river Ganga. He just flows. If you want, you will enter the river, immerse yourself, drink or play…

There is an interesting research done by the Institute of HeartMath, USA: In this experiment, the characteristics of light-photons were studied in a light scattering chamber. The graph looked like a typical plot representing random motion of the photons. Next, a DNA sample was placed in the scattering chamber. The graph now changed showing an interaction…

What is Darshan ? What does it have to do with Spirituality or Enlightenment or Master-Disciple relationship ?
The unconscious zone in the mind is like the software that can be cleansed by meditation. The hardware, the brain itself, will be tuned to hold this new software by the darshan or grace of the master. When you clean the conscious and unconscious with meditation and create a change in yourself, the hardware may…

When people ask me whether I am god, I tell them it depends on you!
This is an incident from the days of my spiritual journey. One morning, a master was talking to all of his disciples in the angle of feeling connected to the whole of the Himalayas. The master was loving and caring enough to allow me also into their morning session. He was asking the disciples one…
