Diwali, the Festival of Light
Loving and divine souls,

Let the choicest blessings of God and the masters be upon all of you. I take this opportunity to pray for you, and I send my best wishes on the occasion of the Festival of Light (Deepavali or Diwali), which is celebrated on 31 October this year.

The triple qualities of nature are tamas (representing darkness or black), rajas (red or the light of confusion), and sattva (light with purity, clarity, coolness, and calmness).

Light dispels darkness and fear. Light ignites the energy and spirit of being active. We light a lamp in a temple or a candle in a church. The light of a lamp reminds me of the presence of God as divine illumination. Light is clarity in life, beauty in living, and perfection in our efforts.
In ritualistic practices when a lamp is lit, the following mantra is chanted:

bho dīpa devarupastvaṁ karmasākṣī hyavighnakṛt

yāvat karma samāptiṁ syāt tāvat tvaṁ susthiro bhava

“O light of the lamp, you are the presence of the Divine. You are the witness of my thoughts, words, and actions. As long as my offering and worship continue, please be still, steady, and stable.”

This simple prayer invokes the spirit of the positive energy and strength in our minds and the divinity in our lives.

Let us live in the light of knowledge. Let us work in the light of energy. Let us move in the light of love. Let us grow in the light of perfection. May the Divine Light guide us along our journey of life, and allow our lives to be free from imperfection, laziness, darkness, restlessness, and aggression. Let coolness, calmness, and beauty fill our thinking, speech, and activities.

I bow to all of you, and I pray to the Divine Mother to bless us with balance, love, and spiritual progress.

With Love,

Prajnanananda

Spiritual life is not a dream; it is a life of sincere and dynamic sadhana that requires continuous effort on the part of a seeker. This path is slippery and extremely difficult. Only with the company of the guru-preceptor and practice of his or her instructions can a seeker evolve.
~ Paramahamsa Prajnanananda

Excerpt from My Time With the Master by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda
“What is started by me has to be completed by him.” These words were used by the omniscient guru Paramahamsa Hariharananda regarding his young disciple, long before he made him a monk, years before he was designated as his chosen spiritual successor.

Many years ago a young spiritual aspirant known as Triloki Dash began an apprenticeship with Paramahamsa Hariharananda, the eminent Kriya Yoga master. These two exceptional beings gave their utmost to each other; ultimately, they would both guide others along the path of realization. This book is filled with Paramahamsa Prajnanananda’s private memories of his life under the guidance of his beloved Gurudev. He shares with us the world of his early youth and training. We glimpse his journey as a seeker. We hear the stories about his life-changing transformation. We enjoy a rare, candid view into the life of a disciple who achieved spiritual realization by obediently following his teacher’s footsteps, and who was able to reach his true potential.

The best way to master a skill is to learn from one who has already mastered it. Paramahamsa Prajnananandaji was the exceptional apprentice who became a master and his master’s successor.

The new expanded edition of this much-loved book offers stories and insights not previously included. It will motivate and inspire pilgrims on the spiritual path.

Shri Guruji’s visit to London ❤️

Chanting the name of God, with firm belief and faith, is one form of devotion. In Sanskrit, chanting is called Japa. Any mantra must be chanted in coordination with the breath.
Yogis say there is one mantra that is chanted by everyone, the mantra known as ajapa gayatri or ajapa japa. The breath is ajapa, the unchanted mantra. Just watching the breath is a form of chanting.
Chanting should be done with bhava, feeling the presence of God with single minded devotion. Chanting with a mala or rosary is good, but be vigilant and watch that the mind does not roam aimlessly.

What is the drama of humanlife all about?

Once you have accepted life as a drama, accept it. If the dream is realized as such, then the world is done with. God's creation is a drama for entertainment. In the drama of human life sometimes you experience pleasure and some times pain. Life is for progress and evolution and one should listen to the promptings of God with rapt attention in order not to get into problems.

What is the material cause of creation? What is all of creation made of and who created it ?
God has created everything from Himself. The Mundaka Upanishad gives the example of the spider. The spider makes a cobweb out of his own saliva and when it is finished, he lives in it. The saliva is the material cause; the spider is the creator of his own cobweb. This example helps us to understand that all of creation is energy. Since God made creation from His own self, then God is everywhere and the nearest place to find and to love God is within ourselves.

Foundation Day of Our
Homestead, Florida Ashram
Loving and divine souls,

Let the choicest blessings of God and the masters be upon all of you. I take this opportunity to pray for you, and I send my best wishes on the occasion of the foundation day for the ashram in Homestead, Florida.

This ashram was founded by our beloved Shri Gurudev in 1997. Shri Gurudev came to the West fifty years ago. On his twenty-third year in the West and twenty-second year in the US he opened this ashram.

It has functioned beautifully for twenty-seven years. This ashram has become the instrument for spreading the message of Kriya Yoga to North and South America. It has also bridged connectivity to Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and even to India.

We are practicing Kriya Yoga. Kriya Yoga in the present world is the path that teaches the essence of all religions in a very practical manner. We should practice Kriya in everyday life and bring more love and compassion to a world full of conflict, chaos, and confusion. We should cultivate love, kindness, compassion, and forgiveness in everyone around us.

We should visit the ashram and practice selfless seva as a transformative step to bring change to the world in a positive, practical, and spiritual manner.

I bow to all of you and to the entire creation. I pray for peace, progress, and prosperity all over the world.

With Love,

Prajnanananda
