Santhosam Podcast: Guiding Light of Spiritual Wisdom

Gurumahan, in the 8th Velvi, does not ask for wealth or sacrifice as Velvi tribute, but for offering the mind itself. When the mind is surrendered to Guru, it is purified, & within that purified chitta, God silently reveals Himself. In this 21st century, how should you be, how will you live? When you come to any yajna, you offer a tribute. In return, when you leave the yajna, those who perform...

Gurumahan, in the 8th Velvi (1998), highlights how Self-realization births spiritual Oneness as a lived experience not just as an idea. Deep compassion is born in your heart and the world becomes a mirror of your Self! Many ask, "Will the Guru no longer perform the Holy Penance (Velvi)?" Gurumahan gently says, 'My dear one, you have already realised the truth. But many people are ye...

Gurumahan, in 8th Velvi (1998), explains the nature of God and ways to become God's living instrument. If you ask whether you truly trust God, the honest answer is not completely! Those who have full faith in God have the strength to accept that whatever happens in this world is for the greater good. O Lord seated before me! You are the one creating Sathya Yuga! You hold unshakable faith in G...

Gurumahan in the 8th Velvi discourse, reminds us that hardship is not punishment, but carries a hidden grace to self awareness and inner purity. In each Velvi(Holy Penance), my purpose is to uplift and encourage all of you, to help you remove the unnecessary qualities within your heart and realize that you are pure and divine! God never created human beings as impure. Think about it!  Do we ever w...

In the 8th Velvi (1998), Gurumahan affirms that Holy Penance redeems even wrong-doers through unseen grace. Human beings possess the power and essence of the all-powerful Supreme ParaBrahmam. When they forget their true nature and stop seeing themselves as human, they begin to identify themselves with animal desires. At that moment, they develop selfish qualities and act only for their own pleasur...

In 1998, 8th Velvi, Gurumahan talks about how the Universal Shakthi responds to the cries of true disciple! My duty is to protect this world by restraining the destructive forces that enter it. Whoever cries out sincerely from the depths of their heart, saying, “O Lord, protect me,” will be answered, regardless of the form in which they call. Even if someone calls upon a dog as their God and prays...

Gurumahan, in the 8th Velvi, emphasizes that the dawn of Sathya Yuga in the 21st century is possible through self-transformation by shedding all unnecessary traits and constantly reminding oneself, “I am the Atma, filled with divine light.” This is the time when the words spoken long ago, “The whole world is one family; all people are our kin” shall be fulfilled in truth. These words arose from th...

Gurumahan, in 8th Velvi, says that there is powerful weapon, more powerful than the Nuclear weapon in this world, and Bharath is the only country which can give it to the world!  The “I”, which exists as invisible subtle energy, has assumed this gross physical body in order to fulfill certain responsibilities. That 'I', MeiPorul is the ultimate truth and it is realised as MeiUnarvu at th...

Gurumahan says that the 21st century can blossom as Sathya Yuga if people live by love, truth, justice, and integrity. This new world must be created through inner transformation, by realizing and living the truth that divinity is not separate from us but exists within us. He explains that the role of a Guru is to remind us of this forgotten truth by pointing us back to our own inner knowing. குரு...

In the Seventh Velvi discourse of 1997, Gurumahan reveals the deeper significance of the state of zero. When the mind is completely purified of all impressions and one abides in utter inner emptiness, the indwelling divine light, Paranjothi, spontaneously manifests and radiates from within. 1997 ஆம் ஆண்டில் நடைபெற்ற ஏழாவது வேள்வி உரையில், பூஜ்ஜிய நிலையின் அர்த்தத்தை குருமகான் விளக்குகிறார். நாம் ம...

In the 7th Velvi discourse (1997), Gurumahan explains that when one firmly abides in the Mei-Uarvu awakened through Kundalini initiation, it slowly matures into a Kalpa Vriksha—a wish-fulfilling tree that naturally bestows every grace and boon. 1997 ஆம் ஆண்டு நடைபெற்ற 7வது வேள்வி உரையில், குருமகான், குண்டலினி தீட்சையின் மூலம் பெறப்படும் மெய்யுணர்வை உறுதியாகப் பற்றிக் கொண்டிருந்தால், அது காலப்போக்க...

In this discourse from the 7th Velvi (1997), Gurumahan explains the deep significance of offering annadāna to yogis. இந்த உரை 1997 ஆம் ஆண்டு நடந்த 7வது வேள்வியில் குருமகான் கூறிய அன்னதானத்தின் ஆழமான அர்த்தத்தை விளக்குகிறது. Offering satvic food to a yogi is the greatest of all charities. Compared to feeding countless people, offering food to a virtuous person, a pure soul, a yogi, is the highest a...

The noble thought waves that arise from the universe possess immense power and speed. Each one of you stands as a living radar, attuned to these subtle thought waves. When you receive them and transmit them from within, their influence spreads according to the purity and speed of your thought, flowing outward to your family, your street, your village, your district, and your nation, ever expanding...

This is Gurumahan's discourse during the 21 days,  7th year holy penance for Universal Wellbeing from Dec 1997 - January 1998!  In India, southern part of the country, in some remote corner,  at Thirumoorthi Hills—known as Thenkailayam, where ascetics and sages once lived and performed penance, if one were to sit in a  pyramid and perform holy penance, can the world attain peace? Yes, It is d...

Even if a person is guilty in their own eyes or in the eyes of others, no one can ever be guilty before a Guru. A Guru never sees faults; his only duty is to remove the suffering of those who seek him. A disciple approaches a Guru to acquire faultless qualities. A mirror helps us correct our outward appearance, but who reveals our inner flaws? That is the role of a Guru. At times, the Guru may app...

If the 21st century is to transform as Sathya Yuga, a single word is enough. When Kannagi, the chaste woman, spoke one word, Madurai was consumed by fire. Likewise, if mahan, saints and sages were to utter a powerful call, the world itself could be destroyed and rebuilt. But they do not wish for destroy and rebuild. Their role is to initiate inner awakening. Yet when people refuse to awaken, they...

If I say, “From within the ocean I look at the ocean,” how would that be? Being God, yet searching for God. Who are you? You are indeed God. But we have forgotten those qualities. Then, if we are God, what should we do? Should we ask for boons? Those who realize the Divine within—how can they be? They can simply be That Divine. When we think of God, what do we imagine? Performing miracles. If mira...

The primordial divine power we seek already exists within us. When this inner energy—the all-powerful Supreme Light—is consciously awakened and worshipped daily at the eyebrow center, our sincere intentions begin to manifest naturally and within a short time. At the space between the eyebrows, every question finds its answer, because the Divine itself is both the question and the response. To trul...

We are born not to receive, but to give. Already, all has been given. We have asked, and it has been granted. What more remains to ask? Disciples approach the Guru: “Who am I? What wealth do I possess? Give me my share.”   But what wealth is there to divide? The Guru has already revealed the treasure at the root. It is like a cheque—a blank cheque. What will you do with it? Doubt arises: “Is this...

Today we can speak through the telephone, can’t we? As soon as these radio waves were discovered by Scientist Marconi, his father would always say, “The Supreme Father who dwells in the supreme realm.” Marconi teased his father "The Supreme One is in that higher realm, while you are here below, if you speak here, will that sound reach Him there?” But when Marconi realized through science that...

To achieve a high goal or fulfill an important duty, one must transcend hunger, thirst, and bodily discomfort. When the mind is fixed on the task, food and sleep lose their grip. For those whose work itself becomes their vision, the body’s demands fade away. Consider building a new house: from laying the foundation until the day of housewarming, do we wander elsewhere or indulge in leisure? No, we...

Where do we come from? We say we come from above. Truly, all beings originate from the higher realms. When asked, “Where has grandfather gone?” we instinctively point upwards. But in reality, the journey is from below to upwards — this ascent is called ūrththuvam (spiritual rising). Thus, when elders pass away, it is said they go north — to Kāśi. What is Kāśi? It is the northern abode, the place w...

The Supreme energy, Adi Paraśakti, was worshipped by the Siddhars as "Vālai". What happens when one worships Vālai? How is she? She is the one who created countless crores of worlds, including the 14 planes of existence, and all divine forms entirely by herself. She resides like oil within a sesame seed—subtle, hidden, yet pervading. By worshipping Her, one gains longevity. From ailments...

The teachings of the Siddhars say that in ancient times, people measured time differently. Today we count seconds, minutes, and hours, but back then they used nodi (moments), vinadi (seconds), naazhigai (units of time), and naal (days). * 60 nodis made one vinadi. * 60 vinadis made one naazhigai. * 60 naazhigais made one full day. Thus, a day was calculated as 21,600 units. The Siddhars linked thi...

How much can I really tell you of the divine experience I had? I can say it was profoundly good, beyond words, but one has to truly experience it to assimilate what I say. Even watching a simple film, one wonders at the artistry, the way they act and feels excitement. The person feels compelled to see that film again, driven by joy. “Come, you too must watch,” he says. In the same way, yogic power...
