What is your nature? C. The day should begin remembering and reliving this; like the sun rising. When you have risen from sleep, the sun has come up. The sleepy sun has gone to rest, and the sun in you has come up. You walk in the morning, floating like a cloud, remembering your origin; your true nature. You don't walk, you simply float. There is no end to the little disturbances, a little irritation over this or that. A cockroach can irritate you one mosquito can go on irritating you the whole night. And if you happen to be in...

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in Satsang at 6/10/ 2014 at Yagnashala, Bangalore Ashram Q. What do you think about non-vegetarism? Sri Sri: Well, when you see the nature, our immediate ancestors: monkeys, they are vegetarians. Our human system is made for vegetarian food. On google you will get many articles and scientific reasons for being vegetarian. Little bit about Vedic Wisdom group and Sri Sri Yoga TTP Group, and then we will come to other questions. Let's talk about Yoga first. You know the definition for asana is stable and comfortable. Sthiram sukham asanam. When you do a posture, you should let go the effort for it then you experience infinity abiding it. Each asana is to be done keeping in mind not the correctness of the posture, but to experience infinity. Definition of comfort means not feeling the body. When you sit uncomfortably, you feel those parts of the body which are uncomfortable. When you sit comfortably, you feel expansion and infinity in those parts of the...

Question - Gurudev, life has become so fast paced, I find it so difficult to stay centered. Please help. Gurudev Sri Sri - It is good, if life is fast, you can't hold on to anything. It doesn't leave you anytime to sit and brood over the past. Before you start brooding over something, something else has already come to attend to. Just go with the flow.

🌹PATANJALI YOGA SUTRAS🌹                          🌀CHAPTER - 9🌀 ~ Eliminating The Cause Of Pain ~                 🌀DAY - 70🌀 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷 If you just look into all the pleasures or joy that you get in life, you will note that they all come with a tax and this tax is sorrow. In the next sutra, Patanjali says, " परिणामतापसंस्कार दुःखैगुॅणवृत्तिविरोधाश्च दुःखमेव सवॅ विवेकिनः "  " Parinaama taapa sanskaara dukhaihi guna vrittivirodhaascha dukhameva sarvam vivekinah " Every event causes some pain. An event could be very pleasant or joyful. But, it comes with a little pinch, a pain. That pain is that, however joyful an event is, it will end. And the ending of an event, however pleasurable and joyful, comes with a little pinch. The greater the joy it has given, the greater will be the pain when it ends. Parinaama dukha - This is called parinaama, the effect o...

🌹PATANJALI YOGA SUTRAS🌹                          🌀CHAPTER - 8🌀         ~ The Veils Of Misery ~                 🌀DAY - 69🌀 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷 " ते हलदपरितापफलाः पुण्यापुण्यहेतुत्वात् "  " Te haldapartitaapa phalaah punya apunya hetutwaat " When these impressions are good, they bring you much joy and happiness. However, if they not good, they bring suffering. It depends on your merit and demerit. If you have done good to people, then that good karma accumulates and brings you joy. If somebody is happy, it is because he has done something good in the past. If somebody is miserable, he has done something bad in the past. So, here Patanjali connects every happiness and misery to some action of the past - all that is in your karma tank. And, meditation is the way we wash out the misery. You become so light, hollow and empty. You sing and dance...
