Immortal Words of his holiness Srimad Jagadguru Swami Sudarshanacharyaji Maharaj
We must remember that the Supreme Being has given us this human body to perform karma (actions). The same karma, the analysis of which you have heard in the previous two discourses, is the karma that is done for the Supreme Being, for the welfare of others. All other actions are indeed actions, but they are personal actions, businesses. The world is busy doing business. Only a few perform real karma. So, if we are…

A theosophist Guru has such sacred powers that protect his disciples from all kinds of illnesses and ill effects. Any seeker who surrenders himself completely to his Guru, then his entire responsibility comprising his joys and sorrows, his illnesses and curses, is accepted by the Guru. He protects him in every manner. It is the Guru who takes care of all his mental, physical, and spiritual matters. Even if some ascetic or deity curses him,…
A disciple should maintain complete discipline and decorum in front of his Guru. He should not try to express his opinion or make comments on his Guru’s teachings. It is not advisable to even express his opinion on the Guru’s discourses by saying, “I personally believe that….” He should not try to give any advice or sermons to his Guru, telling him what to do and what not to do. This would be extremely discourteous….

Introduction by Dr. Gurjodhacharya Revered Gurudev Vaikunthvasi Sudarshanacharya Ji Maharaj The merciful and compassionate, the saviour of the fallen and sinful, Bhagwan, has incarnated in various forms in every era to instil spiritual awareness and vision in the Indian populace according to the divine commands. In the Sanatan Dharma, the tradition of avatars (incarnations of God) has been established to spread the eternal religion and divine knowledge among the wise. Lord Krishna, with his divine…
The Supreme Lord, who is beyond time and eternal, is reborn on Earth in various forms. The Vedic scriptures affirm that those who live for the welfare of others are truly blessed, and those who work for the benefit of others attain heaven. The efforts of such noble beings are akin to the work of saints. The revered lineage of our Guru, which began with Swami Sudarshanacharyaji Maharaj, has always been devoted to the upliftment…
Throughout the year, there are many holy days that we celebrate with fervor, but what is the use of celebration if we do not learn a lesson from each holy day? MahaShivratri is a day we celebrate once a year to specially pray and remember Lord Shiva. Generally, the celebration involves bathing Lord Shiva or the Shiv Ling with milk and water and, nowadays, drinking “Bhaang.” However, these celebrations are meaningless if we do not…
This is a wonderful story of Shabari, who, being so simple and naive, achieved unison with the Supreme Lord Narayana. There is no reason why we cannot become like Shabari once we fully understand this story and tread on the same paths as she did. In the Ramayana, there is an incident involving a woman named Shabari, who belonged to a very low caste of tribal people known as the “Bheels.” The Bheels were basically…
Before we speak of the importance of Satsang, Guruji explained the meaning of the word Satsang, which he derives as follows: Sachi Baaton Ka Sang The company of truthful words (or truthful conversation) – in other words, a compilation or gist of the true facts of this world as well as the spiritual world. According to our Guruji, He emphasizes Satsang as far more superior to Katha or even Keertan. Reading a Katha, or Holy…
On the occasion of the traditional sacred Shivratri festival (14.2.99) My dear ones, Lord Ashutosh, Lord Shiva, Lord Shankar have many names. Shankar continuously does good, hence he is Shankar. This form of Shiva, the eminent devotee Shiva, the repository of knowledge Shiva, has many forms. Among those forms, the name Shiva stands for welfare. Our welfare can be achieved by bathing that Lord Shiva. Some devotees might have doubts about what kind of ashram…
Dear Beloved Ones, On the auspicious birthday of the great saint Baba Nanak Dev Ji, I extend my heartfelt blessings to all the devotees. He is the saint of saints, the guru of gurus, who has conveyed the beneficial path to us in simple language by gathering the essence of the four Vedas, eighteen Puranas, six Shastras, twenty-seven Smritis, and scriptures, along with the power of self-devotion. This body is made of the five elements,…
Dear ones! The attributes of the Supreme Being and His names and actions are numerous. Here, some distinctions and biases have arisen in our minds. I am a devotee of Ram, I am a devotee of Krishna, I am a devotee of Shiva, I am a devotee of Devi. Such confusions have entered our minds. The saints have accepted the Supreme Being as one. Baba Nanak Sahib Ji faced the same doubt that we have….
Beloveds, As every month, today too there is a satsang (spiritual gathering) organized at your home. I have repeatedly mentioned that satsang means to embrace the truth, to embody meaningful words. Satsang is not about any kind of story or specific anecdotes. These other anecdotes are provided to embellish and adorn the true message. Otherwise, the truth is this: Ek bhakt Bhagwan, jihi prani ke naahin man,Jaise sukkar swan, Nanak maanhoon taahi tan One who…
DISCOURSE DELIVERED BY GURUJI ON 23 MARCH 1998 Dear devotees, Guru devotees, exclusive saints and scholars! Welcome to all of you for your arrival here in my satsanga. Yesterday in my discourse, I emphasized humanity. As you know, this human body cannot be obtained by yajanas or charities or by thousands of penances/yogas. It is just a body, blessed or granted by God. A human body is above all, as whenever God incarnates on the…
The Lord has created two worlds: one is the world of spirituality, and the other is the materialistic world. The world that is visible to the human eye, known and can be seen, is the materialistic world. The world that is in total contrast to this is known as the world of spirituality. Our activities in the materialistic world, like wealth, affluence, respect, and stature, are limited to where they are and can never be…
The consequence of service to mother, father, and Acharya or teacher is very significant and noteworthy. Service to these three bestows the fruit or consequence of going on pilgrimage or performing yagnas. One can never do anything in return for receiving the Grace of these three people; you are indebted to them all your life. The grace or blessings one receives from these three is known to be the actual nectar. Just as we go…
There is an account of how much time we spend taking the name of the lord in our lives. We may live 100 or 200 years, but the important fact remains how much time we devote to Him and how much time we spend taking the name of the lord. That is our true wealth. Eating, drinking, progeny, and everything else exist in all the 84 lakh forms of life too. The shastras say: Aahaara,…
Gurus are always inundated with questions from inquisitive and ignorant devotees. While many of these questions relate to life, one’s future, past lives, relationships between different Gods, and more, some devotees inquire about how to find a Guru and how to behave in the presence of a Guru. It is important to understand that God will facilitate the union of man and Guru, just as God facilitates the union of man and God. However, prior…
Om Namo Narayana! Discretion, or the power to decide, is another name for the essence of thought. The essence of the canons is also discretion. We are the sons of Parmatma. We have to unite with Parmatma. Whenever such knowledge awakens in us, it is said we have gained discretion. In fact, when such discretion covers our mind and intellect, it is not that physical matter disappears, but our attachment to the physical world dwindles….
Take shelter in the realm of God. It’s all blissful here. We take birth as different creatures in this world according to our deeds only. These deeds have been distributed into three different categories: Sacred deeds, Kingly deeds, and mean acts. These three types of instincts are related to the deeds mentioned above. This simply means that our death and birth depend on the traits of our body. Therefore, a devotee should not entangle himself…
