Sound Bite: The Seated Pose

My Baba emphasized the importance of the seated pose. He wrote, “For meditation the most important thing is asana, that your spine be kept straight, upright.” Sit up. Glide your neck and head back so they’re in line with your spine. At the crown of your head, the top of your head, is a thousand-petaled lotus... — Gurudevi Nirmalananda

Sound Bite: Progress Toward Enlightenment

Parinama is the gradual transformation. It comes from the inside out, and from the outside in.  When you experience the rising of Consciousness within, you’re being transformed from the inside out.  And when you study, when you’re learning – in these discourses, in my teachings, in books, in yoga texts - you’re being transformed from the outside in.  Your progress toward enlightenment is…

Sound Bite: Change the World

While the universe responds to what you do, what you put out — when you put out what you’ve always put out, you’ll get the response you’ve always gotten.  When you do something different, it might take a little while, but what happens is you get a different response.  This means you can actually change the world...  —  Gurudevi Nirmalananda

Would you like your mind to be like a waveless ocean – calm, infinite, pure?

Probably right now your experience of your own beingness is not fluid, is not constant.  You have moments when you know who you are.  And you have moments when you’re lost in the differences – dotted lines. But you know the way inward. And if you don’t, I’ll remind you again to honor…

Teachings Article: A Divine Birth

Every birth is a Divine embodiment, a manifestation of the One Source. Each and every one of us is made of the Divine energy that becomes all. This means your birth was a Divine birth. Yet some babies grow up to share Divine Light with others. The world celebrates the birth of a few: Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed. But were they the only ones? Nope. Many saints are honored, with their life stories told in order to inspire and to bless others. Yoga specializes in saints. Not only do we honor…

Who am I? Why was I born? Who created me? And what am I supposed to do here? Why am I here? Your mind cannot answer these questions.

Maayaa is illusion. Moha is delusion. A magician doing card tricks is a master of illusion. To believe their illusions are real is delusion. Energy manifests as matter. This means matter isn’t really solid. You could call it an illusion. Some meditative traditions base their teachings on this principle.  Kashmiri Shaivism says the illusion is real. You are living in a movie set. But there is nowhere else to go. This is Shiva’s movie set. The storyline is compelling because…

Teachings Article: Giving Yourself Over

Yoga teaches surrender. This is how you get enlightened. It is also how you fall in love. Surrender is how you experience God, whether looking outward or inward.  In English, surrender means you lost the battle. Yoga uses Sanskrit words that point to becoming free, giving something to the care of another or taking refuge. You go through stages in learning how to give over. Bottom line, it is surrender that yoga values — not to whom you are surrendering. Why? Because each time you surrender…

Teachings Article: Shining with Divine Light

By Gurudevi Nirmalananda 

We love the moon’s silvery-white light, a cooling light. Its soft glow illumines the darkness, soothing and calming your mind. Yet the moon is not the source of its light. It merely reflects the light of the sun. Similarly, the light of Consciousness shines through your mind. The source is within, your own Divine Essence. If your mind were clear and spacious, your mind’s light would be cool, soothing and comforting. However, if your mind is full of limiting notions, Consciousness first has to burn them away…
