Mystic's Musings

Chris reads "Mystic's Musings" and shares his thoughts and experiences:
"Well, well, I have finally completed Mystic’s Musings. And may I say that this book was worth all the time it took to read, because it blew my mind…literally broke my mind. This book documented a series of conversations between “seekers” and Sadhguru, and he covered issues of life, death, rebirth, suffering, karma, and the journey of the Self. Candid, audacious, and unpretentious, Sadhguru slices conventional definitions of morality, religion, and spirituality, and pushes the reader into uncomfortable, yet ultimately comfortable spaces. This book literally felt like a huge step in my spiritual adventure, and I have finished the book with a new perspective and a fresh sense of joy about things."

Vinay gets plugged-in

Vinay attends Inner-Engineering program:
"....but it was quite an experience. During the initiation, I was shivering and shaking all over. Probably, it must have been due to the energies of so many people around. But, after the initiation to this day whenever I practice the Shambhavi Mahamudra I am shivering all over though not with the same intensity as on the day of initiation. Dunno whats it all about.
But now I happen to be doing both vipassana and isha yoga practices. No idea where all this is heading to........ "

Savita Flying high after BSP!

Savita shares her experience about Bhava Spandana Program:
BSP Experience:

I don’t know how to start. Basically I am a very talkative girl. I had so many doubts before going to BSP – how can I stay for 4 days away from family. But after BSP, I wanted to stay in the ashram for some more days. I did not even think about my family for these 4 days. Before BSP, I felt there is something I am missing in life. I am not satisfied. I used to think about it many times but no answer. But BSP answered all my questions. All gaps are filled. I am fully satisfied with my life now.

I feel like a new born child. All past history is erased out of my mind. When I see the leaf, mountain or my relatives, I feel I am seeing them for the first time with lots of love and affection. My entire house is filled with peace and love.

I am walking – no, I should say I am flying. My body is very light. Absolutely no thoughts. I don’t want to talk to anybody. I just want to be myself. These 4 days have changed my life altogether.

In one meditation, I reached my highest energy level almost 3 times. Tears rushed from my eyes not withstanding the energy flow. I wanted to be in that state for ever. Another time, I witnessed my own death, I realized my body is not me. My whole body froze. I don’t know where my hands are. It is true that BSP is once in a lifetime experience.

So far I have not seen Sadhguru in person. When I see him in video itself, I will start crying. Last day of BSP, I saw hundreds of Sadhguru in front of me. All the people around me were Sadhguru. Just imagine my feelings. I could not withstand the powerful energies around me. I almost dissolved.

After BSP – for 10 days, I was in a dream land. I am doing things – but it is not me. I am walking – but I could not feel my legs. Sadhguru’s words in website had the true meaning of my state of mind. – ‘LIVING LIFE UNTOUCHED’.

Now I realize, all these days we have been running around things which are useless. Without knowing the purpose of life, we have wasted all these days. But, better late than never, - now I know the purpose of my life. This feeling is simply great.

Just to preserve this state of mind, I am doing meditation and kriyas everyday.

Some wonders after BSP – when I think of somebody, immediately they call me. I was surprised. So many strangers come to me and talk voluntarily with so much happiness. In a temple, I was just looking at an old person. He came near me and told me – ‘I see you are very happy. You are spreading happiness to this whole place. The purpose of life is to make others happy. I am very happy to meet you.’

I just started crying holding his hands.

How can 4 days make such a huge difference in anybody’s life? I really want to explore more. I have decided to attend HATA yoga and SAMYAMA this year. I want everybody to experience BSP. I have decided to send my whole family one by one.

Rams completes his Silence Program

Rams recounts his experience of his first Samyama program:
"Man, for the dosage he gives, the pain encountered during the preparations was nothing but a mean trifle. I don't have words to put my state as language is handicapped when it comes to experience."
