It is better to be Mr. Late than late Mr.

In India on the roadside you find traffic warnings. “It is better to be late than never.” “It is better to be Mr. Late than Late Mr.” “Start early, drive slowly and reach safely.” All these are meant to alert the driver but they have beautiful spiritual meaning.
1. Better late than never. Don’t think it is too late to begin spiritual life. Wherever you are there you begin but make a beginning. When you come home late don’t think it is too late I will not meditate. However late it is better to meditate than not meditate. Even if you miss one day, it’s gone.
2. Start early. Begin spiritual disciplines early. When one does that life becomes easier and more enjoyable. Drive slowly. Begin early and proceed slowly but steadily and you are sure to reach the goal. When a plant is small you can bend it in any way you want. When it grows older it will be difficult to bend. Before it is burnt you can change the shape of a pot but once burnt it becomes hard. Start early and reach the goal safely.

The Guru-disciple relationship

The Guru-disciple relationship is a very critical one.

We live in a modern society and we have a tendency to believe that we know everything. If you know everything, then there is no need of going to a Guru.

If you come to learn something, then be humble and have a positive attitude in order to learn many beneficial things that may have escaped you.

Do not be overly critical. What you perceive depends on your frame of mind. Always be in a receptive mood.

The Immortal Yogi, Paramahamsa Hariharananda. Part 1 - Introduction to Kriya Yoga From time immemorial India has given birth to spiritual dynamos who have taught that in each human being the power of God resides. This rich spiritual herita...

Knowledge is pure. Where there is knowledge, there is purity. Where there is absence of knowledge, there is impurity. The soul is sat-chit-anand ( existence, knowledge and bliss). That which is conscious has knowledge. All material objects are said to be devoid of knowledge. The soul is beautiful, not the material world. The beauty outside is the beauty of the soul because it is conscious and understands what beauty is. Out of ignorance we ignore the soul and are attached to the body and the world. We neglect knowledge and we live in ignorance; in a world of likes and dislikes.
So pray with love, “O Divine mother, withdraw your play of illusion. Reveal your real nature.” Practice tapas and svadhyaya. Love and pray to the divine. Realization is at hand.

From the mother center

STARS AND PLANETS

Just as the outer universe has stars and planets that are believed to influence human life, the inner universe also has the entire zodiac along the human spine. By meditating and energizing the spine, the adverse effects of the stars and planets are neutralized. People go to astrologers to know their future through astrological calculation. Yet, it is our inner stars and planets, the subtle zodiac present inside the spine that can be instrumental in radiating cosmic light, and thus benefiting our life’s endeavor.

Paramahamsa Prajnanananda

This is the time to love God. Therefore, should I be weak and let a little fatigue become an obstacle in the presence of love? No, I will sit down and meditate"

~Paramahamsa Prajnananandaji

leave egotistical thoughts behind with gratitude and service for God

Bhakti - the simple translation of the word is love. Love is a word that is vaguely used and also often misused. Love can be of different types–the love between mother and her child, the love between the husband and wife, our love towards God, our love for nature and so on. In Sanskrit we have different words for love expressed at different levels, for example, krati, priti and bhakti. Bhakti is a word related to love for God or the Holy Scriptures. Bhakti comes from the root word bhaj. Bhaj means to serve. Devotion is always associated with service. Without service love does not come. In olden days the student and the teacher lived together and the student served the teacher. By serving, ego diminishes and humility and love develops. You grow spiritually.

Love gives and forgives and selfishness only gets and forgets.

~Paramahamsa Prajnananandaji

"The fire of knowledge, the fire of meditation, the fire of prayer, and the fire of good company enable us to be at the feet of the Divine. These fires burn all karma."

-- Paramahamsa Prajnanananda
The Law of Karma

"Ears cannot hear without the soul, eyes cannot see, the nose cannot smell, talk cannot come; the whole body cannot function without the soul. The soul is the unity in all activities. The soul is the unity in all living beings."
