Santhosam Podcast: Guiding Light of Spiritual Wisdom

A human being is one who possesses four kinds of dimensions: the first dimension is the physical state, the second is the mental state, the third is the intellectual state, and the fourth is the spiritual state. When a human being becomes aware of these four dimensions, he opens the path to complete inner evolution and realization. Upanishads say that Know that one, by knowing which, all is known....

If we want to reach a noble and elevated state in life, we need a Guru (spiritual teacher or guide). When we travel from one place to another, we see signboards guiding us. Only if we trust those signboards can we reach our destination. In the same way, we place our trust and faith in the Guru.  Why do we believe in a Guru? Everything we need is given to us by the universal energy. To attain that...

Sthoola Guru – Physical Guru Sookshuma Guru – Subtle Guru Kaarana Guru – Causal Guru — the ultimate cause or source behind the creation of this universe. From the sacred will of the Guru known as the Supreme Atom (parabrahmam), this entire universe came into being and expanded. It is from the divine thought of that Guru that all of creation has unfolded and evolved.  From the Guru — who is none ot...

If a man has a good partner, he will have a joyful life throughout his lifetime. Likewise, if a man does good deeds, he will gain prosperity and motivation throughout his life. That’s why the wise always said one should join and associate with the righteous. You take on the nature of the one you associate with.  For example, a money plant grows according to the environment in which it is planted....

What is life? Life means to live. Is it the body that lives, or the soul that lives? It is the soul that shines as everything. Therefore, it is the soul that truly lives. Hence, this life is a life of the soul, not a life of the body. The soul chooses the body it needs and lives its life through it, using the body as a tool.   A life based only on the body becomes a worldly life. A life of the sou...

Everyone has five senses — sense of touch, taste, smell, hearing and sight. All living beings that possess the five types of perception have these five senses.  In the *Thirumandiram*, Thirumoolar speaks about perception that goes beyond the physical senses. The knowledge gained through the five physical senses—touch, taste, sound, smell, and sight—is called sensory knowledge. But there is a perce...

If we look at all the things that exist in this world, there is nothing other than atoms. There is only one fundamental Supreme atom — the ‘Param anu’—which expresses itself as all other atoms. That one alone manifests as everything. Like a single drop drawn from the ocean, all things have emerged from that vast, supreme atom. All substances in this world are made up of combinations of atoms. Even...

Whether we like it or not, all the experiences we go through via our senses get imprinted in the back of our minds. When we see a fire or witness a road accident, it gets registered in our subconscious. For example, whichever direction we turn a camera to take a photo, it captures everything in that direction. Whether we like it or not, it takes pictures and records whatever is in the direction it...

Education is the expression of the Supreme Light (Paranjodhi) within you. Education is the expression of the truth (மெய்மை) within you. Therefore, realizing that truth is what education truly is. Such is the essence of yoga education — a journey through which one awakens to the truth and reality that reside within him. In the sacred tradition of Gurukula education, the Guru begins by offering the...

Offer your service in such a way that you become worthy of receiving your Guru's blessings and grace. By serving other living beings, one can receive a Guru&a...

It is a state where the mind and body are united or i...

One must go deep within the true atom, pass through it, and realize the essence that lies within. That essence is what manifests as everything in the universe as Guru. That Guru is  the Originating primordial supreme power, that Guru is the awareness,  that Guru is the divine vibration and that Guru is the divine light. That Guru pervades the sky and the vast heavens as the essence of the cosmos....

You are all people who received the Kundalini Initiation from UPF. You are still holding onto sorrow, pain, and worries. You still haven’t trusted that supreme power within you. You are still relying on external rituals for faith. The one who believes in external worship reaches a 20 percent higher state. The one who believes in the worship of light attains a 60 percent higher state. The one who h...
