Santhosam Podcast: Guiding Light of Spiritual Wisdom

In the 25th Velvi Discourse, Gurumahan talks about the purpose of our birth and Bharat’s return to its inner light. The purpose of your birth is to attain the state beyond birth.

Tell yourself, “I will not be b...

Gurumahan Leads Us Into Deep Meditation, Revealing Atma as Our True State! The Self Is Within You To realise the Self is to discover where it is.

For this one minute, turn within and enter the state of the Self. Wh...

However, I noticed something. Until the Velvi ends, everyone remains disciplined and spi...

In the 25th Velvi Discourse, Gurumahan Reveals How Divine Intuition Chose Every Velvi Site.

In the 25th Velvi discourse, Gurumahan shares timeless wisdom on the fine line between awareness and fanaticism.  Every person should develop self-awareness, along with a sense of responsibility toward family, society, community, religion, language, and the nation.

No. Did elder sister teach it? No. Then...
