It’s imperative that you are happy. If you’re not happy, you will do really anything to get happy again. Now people have their go-to’s. Some people, when they are not happy, they go to…

You hear this description, “beyond the beyond,” in our Shavasana Course, a series of guided meditative experiences while lying in Shavasana. I coined this phrase to describe a specific level of meditative experience. If I translate my phrase “beyond the beyond” into Sanskrit, it would be turiyati...

…but when you use the mantra it propels you deeper, and in that deeper dimensionality you discover multiple dimensions to your own being. One of the deepest of them is a profound, black space that is vast, and seems to be empty, but it’s not empty. It’s full of..

Your body and your mind are very important. Without them, you can’t be here. But they are not WHO you are. You are Consciousness. You are Shiva, primordial Beingness, being you. There is only One Divine Reality, though called by many names. In yoga, we call the One by the name Shiva, meaning that...

My Baba did not live a balanced lifestyle. He was an extremist. This was one of the reasons I was drawn to him – he gave me a way to live out my wildest dreams. I got to travel the world. I got to live in an exotic far-off land. I wore sarees and chanted in Sanskrit. I ate things I had never hear...

There are levels… of enlightenment. And you can get stuck partway. Bliss is one of the traps. If bliss were the goal, Odysseus would have stayed on the island, eating lotuses. If bliss were the goal, you could spend your life using intoxicants, even food and sex, to attain constant bliss. The poi...

But that was only half of what the yogis in the forest said. Becoming free from suffering is good. So if you’re not suffering, then how do you feel? “I’m fine.” “Yeah, fine, good.” “Everything is fine.” Neutral. Not good, not bad. Not suffering. This is good, by comparison. But, the yoga texts pr...

I have lived in Ashrams for 52 of my 79 years. Why have I chosen this lifestyle? Because it supports me; it is the wind under my wings. I fly higher and higher because I live, breathe, eat and sleep in the Divine energy that collects in an Ashram. It is a sacred site. I could feel it the first st...

So, you can have an hour of great love and bliss. Is that enough for you? Some of you only meditation 10 or 20 minutes, that’s enough? And then, you go back to ‘normal’? The answer is in the next line…

In the West, when people think of someone with spiritual power, they think of Jesus. Or they hearken back to Moses, Mohammed. In the East, they turn to Buddha, Rama or Krishna. These great beings had great spiritual power. For example, Buddha’s teachings predate Jesus. Both are still quite popula...

Mantra has been called the sound body of God. It is God, in the form of sound. So before this world existed, and Shiva decided to manifest the world out of his own, within his own being, made of his own substance, he began to vibrate. And that vibration at the subtlest level is perceived as soun...

...when you dive deeper inside, and you discover the source of that bliss, which is your own Self, then that light of your Self emerges as supreme love. In other words, you find the bliss and then when you have the bliss on the inside, and you open and look outside, then you experience that as lo...

Yoga’s sages agree with the many religions and traditions that heaven does exist. And hell. My Baba named several ethereal realms: Pitruloka — the world of ancestors, Swargaloka —heaven, and Siddhaloka —where great beings remain. From there, they respond when we call on them, even appearing in yo...

You don’t even notice that you’re telegraphing what’s going on inside to everyone around you. But what about when what’s going on inside is wonderful? What about when you’re full of peace, or joy? You’re feeling open-hearted, loving, kind, generous, helpful. You don’t have to say anything. It sho...
