"Unflinching devotion to the Teacher is paramount in the life of a true seeker. To begin with, an external God can be the object of faith. But once the devotee grows to be a seeker, only a Wise Teacher can fulfil his quest.  It is then for the seeker to get purified and enlightened by the words of wisdom from his Guru.  Their bond and attunement put the Teacher on the pedestal of God.  Such an impeccable Guru-sishya bond alone bestows wisdom, strength and fulfillment to the seeker."

About our Ashram ...

prajnana dham img 1662 

An Abode of Learning and Experiential Wisdom

Poojya Swamiji explains it thus :

“This Ashram is actually a Brahmavidya abode. Right from the beginning I did not have any idea of establishing an institution. If I were having an idea, I would have proceeded in a different manner. To establish an institution means to think constantly about the institution and to recruit or allow people to come and join us with a view to do institutional work. That would have been a little different. It is based primarily on man power, not seeking.

Whoever has got the aptitude to work in an institution and take the institution’s ideals to the people by way of a suitable propaganda, I think it will be different. Whereas I only had one thought in my mind. In the same manner I happened to see my Gurudev and I liked him, I sought deeksha from him. After getting the deeksha for me deeksha and my Guru were everything. I did not think of anything else. It is that deeksha and the sādhana I did very fervently that you can say made me the way I was and I am.

What are Inner Resources

People generally think about external and material resources. They are given to developing and harnessing these alone. Nonetheless, excelling them all in great measure, reign the inner resources and the need for their development.

When adequate thought is given to this subject and necessary enlightenment is also gained, human life will become very auspicious and fulfilling.

All the sciences and technologies are mostly aimed at identifying and harnessing the external resources of nature as held by earth, water, air, light and other forms of energy. Parallel to this, the human personality preserves within itself enormous resources, which are the key to any human achievement.

'Inner Resources Development' is Swamiji's unique and systematic approach which guides modern day aspirants to identify, understand and harness this limitless inner potential and find joy and fulfillment in all spheres of human endeavor. CIRD-NA conducts programs to grow awareness in people about their own inner resources and the way to harness them for developing a poised, harmonious, and indomitable personality.

Interactional Saadhana
Though extremely rational and scientific, the discovery and development of Inner Resources do not involve any external laboratory. The mind and intelligence are the only constituents to get you where you want, in achieving what you aim at. The search makes you turn inward and look for your own inner depth and magnitude. Saadhana is the process of actualizing knowledge - transforming spiritual knowledge into a living source of strength, confidence, creativity and magnificence. 'Interactional Saadhana' is the saadhana that takes place when you are at your home, working in your office, or doing anything else. Every interaction is a unique opportunity for developing and refining your inner resources.
