Teachings Article - Enlightenment & Devotion
Wednesday Jul 01, 2020
Wednesday Jul 01, 2020
Gurudevi asks, “How can intellect (enlightenment) and heart (devotion) possibly go together?” This article explains why both are necessary for the full experience of the highest. In a Shaktipat tradition the first step is to have the experience you seek. Yet once you’ve been awakened, practice and study are not enough. Devotion is also an important part of the process. The tantric pathway to the goal involves both your head and heart. The highest level a human can attain is recognizing their own Divine Essence and expressing it in loving service to the world.

Teachings Article - Equanimity & Enlightenment
Monday Jun 01, 2020
Monday Jun 01, 2020
Gurudevi explains that the yogic sense of equanimity is about more than even-mindedness. Equanimity is one of the qualities of being established in the Self. This inward deepening into Self frees you from emotional reactivity. Describing her own experience, Gurudevi says, “Yoga gave me a superpower: the ability to choose how I wanted to feel. I was freed from the ups and downs.” Yet equanimity is not the goal. It is a sign that you are deepening within as you progress toward enlightenment.

5/17/2020 Bliss is Not Boring
Sunday May 17, 2020
Sunday May 17, 2020
Gurudevi takes us on a deep dive into understanding why bliss is never boring. Since you are made of Consciousness and bliss, when your mind stops, bliss arises within. Getting your mind out of the way is the purpose of most yogic and meditative systems. But Gurudevi cautions that you cannot use your mind to master Consciousness. Ultimately, your mind must melt back into the Consciousness of which it is made. Svaroopa® Vidya specializes in the melting. This is because of the initiation called Shaktipat, which awakens the power of upliftment within. Then you live in bliss, whether your eyes are closed or open.

It is the shadows and constrictions in your mind and heart that give you pain. Ego gives you a sense of self that is dependent on your environment. But when you have a healthy ego, you recognize that these identities are what you do, not who you are. Gurudevi Nirmalananda explains the various dimensions of your Self and how you can dissolve the limitations so your inner essence can shine through.

Friday Nov 01, 2019
Friday Nov 01, 2019
Gurudevi reminds us that we all need expansive, inner experiences but look for things on the outside to prompt them. Yogis look inside. “Contemplate the sky as contained within or dissolved inside your head to experience the inner infinity and to feel the entire universe being bathed in Divine Light.” Vijnana Bhairava, Sutra 85. This is a particular type of contemplation known as a bhavana, meaning you feel your way into the experience. It gives you an experience of embodied Consciousness, filling your heart and spreading through your body. Every time you use this quick fix, it gives you a taste of freedom.

Gurudevi describes this month’s quick fix as an easy way to become your Self again. She explains that life has a two-fold purpose: to have experiences and to become enlightened. You progress toward enlightenment when you focus on the one (you) who is having the experience. She offers another way to focus on the experiencer, given by her Guru, Baba Muktananda. He asked, “Who were you when you were a child?” You are still the same you that you were when you were a child. Focus on the one who is having the experience. This expansive way to live allows you to stay grounded in your Self, no matter what you experience.

Patanjali offers this practice: “When your mind is distracted or disturbed, meditate on whatever you like.” Yoga Sutras 1.39 Gurudevi explains that Patanjali means to meditate on something that uplifts you and quiets your mind. Yoga recommends that you actively intervene in your mind’s tendency to wander. When you stop chasing things in the world, you experience who you already are. Steer your mind toward something that brings it to stillness, and you will experience your inherent nature is bliss and Consciousness. Even a little bit of meditation works. Just do it!

Thursday Aug 01, 2019
When you’re not experiencing your Divine Essence, it’s because your mind is distracted. Patanjali offers this practice: “When your mind is distracted or disturbed, contemplate your experience of dreaming or dreamless sleep.” Yoga Sutras 1.36. Gurudevi explains that this is not psychology. You contemplate the experience of dreaming and of deep sleep, rather than analyzing it. In the yogic system, contemplation is a way of getting beyond your mind to a deeper inner knowing. The purpose is to find the One who is experiencing, who is the One who is always aware.

A Great Being is one who has attained the heights of spiritual development. A Great Being is one who knows their own Self and whose life inspires you to look deeper within. Patanjali offers this practice: “When your mind is distracted from Consciousness, fix your mind on a Great Being, one who is free from desire.” Yoga Sutras 1.37. Whatever your mind ponders it becomes. When you think of a great being, your mind becomes peaceful and expansive. This practice lays an inner foundation for your own discovery of the spiritual greatness within.

What is a serene and luminous experience? It’s a transcendent moment, beyond time and space, full of peace and bliss. Gurudevi cautions not to become dependent on external circumstances to find such an experience. Instead, look inside. In remembering a serene and luminous experience, you reinstate it. These experiences are memorable because they trigger an inner shift. They deepen you into Consciousness, the Consciousness that you already are.

Gurudevi asks those at satsang, “Why have you come here today?” The answer is, “To find happiness.” Anything that triggers happiness triggers a spiritual experience because happiness is your inherent nature. All the practices of yoga, especially mantra and meditation, are designed to open the doorway inside. When you’re able to settle inside you’ll experience the source of happiness. Then you’ll know who you really are.

Interiorization is a perfect description of what yoga offers and what Patanjali lays out in the 8 Limbs of The Yoga Sutras. Through the process of interiorization and by repeating mantra, you become established, more and more in Samadhi, the inner absorption into the ocean of consciousness that is your own Self.

Being grounded and uplifted at the same time is an unusual combination that is different than what exercise gives you. Gurudevi gives a modern-day description of what the sages of India promised to every yogi: the experience of both form and the formless. Being grounded in yourself while being uplifted in your own Divinity is a hallmark of the Svaroopa® sciences.
