Chandraswami was a very well known taantrik, and once it had so happened that all over India, Lord Ganesh was drinking milk, and a dharma guru used to be known for his ability to cough up Shivalings. What king of tantra (technique) was that? In the villages there are individuals who by their mere speech can cause someone’s house to burn to ashes, or a catastrophe to happen. What kind of tantra is that?

Negative opinions such as anger, worry and regret arise spontaneously, whereas we have to make a conscious effort to awaken positive emotions, and sometimes in that effort, negative emotions begin to arise. Why does this happen – please show us the way?
Look, these negative emotions come and go, when you are very tired, have low Prana or are sad and depressed. However, only positive emotions arise when pPrana levels are high and you are happy. So, negative emotions reflect a deficiency of Prana. ... -

What is the mystery behind karma?
: As you sow, so you reap. Isn’t it? There is a couplet(shlok) that defines Raajasic intellect as that which discriminates among individuals, whereas Saatvik intellect treats everyone alike seeing the same divinity in all. So during meditation, when the sa ... -
Take refuge in me, then I will rid you of all sins.
Sharing: Guruji, I want to share an experience in front of everybody. I apparently had this health problem called systemic lupus erythematosus. It is a weird autoimmune disorder for which the doctors said that for the rest of my life I will have to be on ... -
