“Shiva, Oh Boy, Don’t Kid Me”

Listen to this video; it is not just a normal video. What you are doing, by listening to it, is giving yourself the opportunity for transformation. Words are just the surface, your longing for the highest in you, is what will transform your awareness.

Make the time, make the time, make the time. Make understanding yourself, the biggest goal in your life. Become like an Olympian, have one singular goal, in this case the goal to understand who you truly are; an Olympian in bringing to the fore, that you are the ecstasy of the universe, that you are Shiva, that you are what it is you are looking for. Listen to this video; it is not just a normal video. What you are doing, by listening to it, is giving yourself the opportunity for transformation. Words are just the surface, your longing for the highest in you, is what will transform your awareness.

You took birth, you came through millions of souls, you found a womb; now don’t waste it. It takes only 10 minutes this morning, then the next, then the next, then the next….and slowly you would have built a full practice over the years, that will give you the greatest bliss inside. It is worth every bit of the joy and fun, even while living with all your earthly duties. Do it. I am only speaking now after almost twenty seven years of spontaneous practice and not to boast, but to inspire, that it is possible at anytime, create the inner environment.

Experiencing the Divine Play of Life

Swami Muktananda, was an elevated Siddha master (an ascetic who has achieved enlightenment), whose dynamic teachings I was exposed to when I was just 22 years old.

Swami Muktananda, was an elevated Siddha master (an ascetic who has achieved enlightenment), whose dynamic teachings I was exposed to when I was just 22 years old. At an ordinary bookshop in Mumbai I found his classic autobiography “The Play of Consciousness”. The result of just reading his words was such, that an incredible spiritual opening began in my being, the impact of which unfolds till this day.

In this video Swami Mukatananda extolls that “You divide your life into the waking and dream state, but it is all one state. It is ever new, neither true nor false. What was real yesterday, is unreal today, and what is real now will be unreal tomorrow.”. He goes on to say “When a wise being understands the way of the world, the sport and the play of destiny and the continuity of the waking and dream states and the light of the knowledge of Bhairava (the one who destroys fear), he becomes filled with the extraordinary mystery of the formless, and feels lighthearted with this simple awareness. Then he naturally takes delight in the game.”

Make this video a meditation. Take a good comfortable posture, put a good headphone on and then just hear the words, the sounds. No need to try and intellectually understand it, but just listen, to the play of sun and shadows. 

How to Break Your Negative Thinking

As a young man reading Tony Robbins, gave me an intellectual architecture, within which to set up my process of self discovery, experiment with different exercises and process some of the more esoteric happenings inside my being.

I read Tony Robbins for the first time in my college years. His book “Awaken The Giant Within”, gave me great insight into how to use my physiology and my emotions, to get the results that I was seeking on a personal and professional level. As a young man, it gave me an intellectual architecture, within which to set up my process of self discovery, experiment with different exercises and process some of the more esoteric happenings inside my being.

In this short 8 minute video Tony works with 4 women live on national TV, to move them to the kind of personal results they seek, even while they are surrounded by certain personal issues. The video is titled “How to Break Your Negative Thinking”. His basic premise is, if we want new results or outcomes, we need to create new actions; and our actions are often related to our emotional state. And this is where the use of physiology comes into play, to change certain negative emotional states. I love the framework and I hope you enjoy it to. Have a great Sunday.

How to Create a Beautiful Life

Bentinho’s words comes from a deep space, and one that has always vibrated deep down inside for me. In this video he speaks about how to create the life that you want. He articulates that everyone can contribute to the global transformation that is going on.

Bentinho Massaro is a young, dynamic and a very different teacher, from our traditional concepts of what a teacher should be. Currently we often find him smoking a cigar, while explaining some esoteric but practical teaching. But don’t get fooled by his external demeanour. His words come from a deep space, and one that has always vibrated deep down inside for me. Several years ago (I think maybe 8 or 10 years ago) as he was an upcoming teacher, I had made a small modest donation to his work, across the world (I think USD 25 or 50), since I thought his teachings should spread. Not many knew him yet, but he sent a personal message to thank, although he had no clue who I was. I am happy to see him take his teachings forward over the years.

In this video Bentinho speaks about how to create the life that you want. He articulates that everyone can contribute to the global transformation that is going on (the talk is in 2017). If you want to create a fantastic life and achieve your goals faster he says, you have to be creating and creative, ‘Don’t just say ‘Oh, something is missing from the world, I’ll just watch television, complain about it, and go back to eating pizza.’ Do something about it!’. According to him, if one stops creating and becomes passive, one drifts into the collective unconscious, which has a low frequency / vibration. He advises us to prioritise the things that truly inspire us and then go for them, no matter what other people say.
