In this discourse, Gurudevi describes the inner knowing “I am” or “aham” in Sanskrit. “I am” is a complete sentence. It is the knowing of your own perfection.

Wednesday Mar 03, 2021
Wednesday Mar 03, 2021

Guudevi says that yoga gives you the ability to perceive your own inner vastness and bliss. God is in the bliss feeling. God is not found in a statue. Your experience of Self is a feeling.

Teachings Article - Love is An Answer
Tuesday Dec 29, 2020
Tuesday Dec 29, 2020
Gurudevi tells us, “As glorious as love can be, it’s never enough. It’s not a substitute for your own Self.” At its root, the feeling of emptiness comes from feeling separate from God. Yoga is a science of spiritual development that takes you inward, reconnecting you to your inherent Divinity. But how do you get there by yourself? You need help from an enlightened being. Only one who knows the One Reality can give you the inner experience of your own Self. That experience truly is an inner homecoming.

Monday Dec 28, 2020
Gurudevi explains the difference between connection and Beingness. It is your own Self that you seek, the inner sense of wholeness and oneness that is the knowing of your own Self. But the root of the human dilemma is that this knowing is hidden from you. Instead of looking outward for connection, you must look inward to find your Self. You are the One Reality. You are Shiva. Through meditation and Shaktipat, the One Reality being you is now revealed to you as you.

Teachings Article - Enlightenment & Devotion

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.

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.
