No More Time Left! Act Now or Be Doomed!
Obstacles in Spiritual Path
Self-sufficiency, impertinence,,pride, luxury, name, fame, self-assertive nature, obstinacy, idea of superiority, sensual desires, evil company, laziness, over-eating, over-work too much mixing, too much talk, are some of the obstacles in the path of Yoga. Admit your faults freely. When you are free from all these evil traits, Samadhi or union will come by itself.
Start Your Spiritual Practice
Practise Yama and Niyama. Sit comfortably in Padma or Siddha Asan. Restrain the breath. Withdraw the senses. Control the thoughts. Concentrate. Meditate and attain Asamprajnata or Nirvikalpa Samadhi—union with the Supreme Self.
May you shine as a brilliant Yogi by the practise of Ashtanga Yoga! May you enjoy the bliss of the Eternal!!
Ananta sastram bahu veditavyam,
Swalpascha kalo baha vascha vighnah;
Yat sara bhutam tadupasitavyam,
Hanso yatha Ksheeramivambu misram .
Endless Number of Scriptures and Many Obstacles
The Shastras are endless; there is much to be known. Time is short, obstacles are many. That which is the essence should be grasped, just as the swan does in the case of milk mixed with water.
O Nectar’s sons! Wake up. Open your eyes. Grasp the essence of God now. Remember the pains of Samsar. Remember death. Remember the saints. Remember God. Sing His Name. Cultivate Bhakti. Develop the nine modes of devotion (Navavidha Bhakti). Serve Bhagavatas. Feel His indwelling presence everywhere. Have Darshan of Sri Krishna in this very birth, nay, in this very second. Become a glorious Bhagavata or a Jivan Mukta and radiate joy, bliss, peace all around and everywhere. Friends! Let me remind you once more, Forget not, even for a second, that Flute Player of Brindavan, thy constant Immortal Friend, thy joy, solace in life. Repeat always His Mantra OM Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya. May the blessings of Sri Krishna be upon you all ! ! !
