"Devotion is a means as well as its true end when it grows into a full treasure. When devotion becomes a treasure, you will need nothing more for inner fullness or affluence. As devotion grows, it will begin to free you of all desire, hatred and fear. It will relieve poverty, either by making you amply resourceful or by taking away from you the very feeling of poverty. Devotion also will remove your weakness, generating untold strength and confidence."

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.

Question: How do we practice self-restraint in say, not getting angry, not eating all the fatty items the mind relishes, not criticizing or blaming others? As I read in one of your articles, I literally ask the Self to help me to be in control as I see that I am unable to do it without the help from the Divine, because the temptations and bad habits are many.

Question: We all try to practice 'Interactive Saadhana'. However there are some interactions which result in tensions. This could be at place of work or with significant others. For example, if my boss wants certain things done in a particular way and I think that I am being taken advantage of and resist it, then it results in tension. It is not an enriching experience. How do we handle such situations. Of course I am expecting my boss to be reasonable, but I think he is not. The same situation could apply to significant others. How do we maintain our sense of balance here?
