Final reminder for AMC 1 & 2

Dear self,

Survival is a basic instinct of every living being. It is a natural gift given to every living being along with intelligence necessary to survive. With this we have also inherited the faculty of growing continuously.

In every life threatening condition it is with these qualities we keep ourselves alive OR in favorable situations we grow ourselves to the next level of our existence. This is happening not as our conscious decision but as a natural
reflex of our body, mind and senses.

When a threat is sensed even a smallest animal knows that it has hide into a safer place. And if there is no possibility for flight then with all its strength it will fight the situation until he wins or loses its life. Both this happens before his conscious mind is even aware of his actions. Both ways he is flowing with the life. This is a complete non-doing as there is no conscious effort involved.

Same is the case with nature's growing. How to use a favorable situation to get food or other needs are not taught in school to any animal or plant. They just by their own instincts know where and how to find or hunt for food, water, sunlight etc. Again this happens with an inbuilt quality of growing and keeping the self alive.

Non-doing is an intrinsic quality of nature.

Then why is it that human beings who have more intelligence and also are gifted with a WILL to use that intelligence to his benefit, spend all their lives only for surviving? Don't we have enough natural instincts for surviving and growing? Why do we take so much effort in every aspect of our living? Why our intellect is not able to see that I am capable to survive and grow no matter how horrible the external environment is?

Why are we so scared to live? Is our will only for controlling others? Or it is for becoming more and more helpless survivor?

On one side we the powerful human beings take pride in conquering nature. We want to control weather, water, sun, earth everything that we can lay our hands on. But  feel  totally helpless when it comes to our own survival issues. We feel stressed in just feeding our self or a family of 2 or 3. We cannot carry the burden of our own life!

These questions will remain unanswered until we look for the answers outside. These are some questions we need to answer in our own true silence.

The will is given to us for directing our intelligence for protecting others who are not as well equipped to live as I am. Our will is given to us so that instead of just protecting our biological children we can expand our love & care to protect and nurture many more - all? This is the way we expand our parenting role from our homes to the whole world. This is true "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam". This truly is "YOG" - union of Jeevatman to Paramatman !

And this too is built in within us. This too is non-doing, effortless, natural !

When we are connected with our natural self in deeper silence it is very apparent to us how truly powerful we are. Only then our struggle for survival will end and we will start living as a child of nature just like any other small or big animal, a hugs tree or a vulnerable creeper lives, grows, gives and enjoys every moment as the last moment of life. In nature "how long" has no significance.

GOD is not an entity but it is an awareness of having been taken care of, confidence of being able to take care of others, feeling of complete trust that this is my world where I have all the time to do what I really care for.

In natural silence GOD right within us and everywhere around. With GOD within us we are beyond survival. Then we are willfully walking towards the complete freedom from survival where we can live joyfully. Peace is no more a dream or wish but it becomes our own experiential reality – our TRUTH!

You are welcome to join us for journey in to silence in the “Advance Meditation Course (AMC) I & II”.

AMC-II starts on Thursday November 12th at 7 pm & AMC-I starts on November 13th at 7 pm.

Details are in attached sheets.

We are not born with Stress so why live with it?

Dear friends,

 

Each one of us is born with a full potential to lead a happy and joyful life. We look forward through each moment in expressing our joy of having born on this planet and experience our unlimited universal existence. The only purpose for our birth and life is to experience freedom, learn to grow and merge into our universality.

 

But as we grow we start forgetting why we were born and start seeing our selves through eyes of others. Others who have forgotten their true nature too. We start feeling smaller and restricted in our lives. Life starts looking a burden and we start  carrying it as a heavy load on our shoulder. Our own natural weight starts becoming heavy on us and we start experiencing stress in life.

 

Stress is nothing but the effort we experience in accomplishing every action in our day to day life. It is a gap in our own perception about how we wish to live and how we see ourselves living. It is a distance between our vision and our existence.

Stress can create a havoc in our lives. And any amount of medication and therapy cannot bring back our true joyful state.

 

Today the western medical science has accepted that the only way to manage stress is the ancient Vedic technology of holistic self management through yoga and meditation. Only silence and meditation can bring us in tune with our true nature. And who else can teach you meditation better than the Siddha Samadhi Yoga trainers? For last 30 years through 700 center spread all over the world we the SSY teachers are helping people to manage their lives through our basic and advance programs.

 

Friends, we are not born with stress so why live with it?

 

Join us for the free seminar on Total Stress Management (TSM) scheduled this week end and learn how easy it is to get rid of your stress.

Practical Karma-Yoga training

“Only in quiet waters things mirror themselves undistorted. Only in a quiet mind is adequate perception of the world.” -Hans Margolius.

Having studied about the Atman (soul) , we may often wonder that why is it that our mind is unable to capture the essence of the universe even after we are verbally exposed to it ?

The answer to this is in the above quotation. The mind is just not quiet enough. How to achieve a quiet mind? The prescribed path for this is that of Karma Yoga. Following a life style and attitude as prescribed by Karma Yoga results in “quietening of the mind "to an extent such that the essence of the universe can be reflected flawlessly and thus internalized accurately.

Till as such time, the reflection and hence the understanding is flawed.

To be a Karma-Yogi you need not do anything or you need not change what you do. But you need to do everything differently. A person operating from state of Samadhi (non-doing)is a living Karma-Yogi.Because he does things in the world not to get anything, not even happiness but to express their joy in sharing. It is the only way to live life healthily & joyfully.

Siddha Samadhi Yoga is the only scientifically and systematically developed
program which trains you in practicing Karma-Yoga in your daily life.

Welcome message

Dear self,

Jai Gurudev

Congratulations to you. This year Siddha Samadhi Yoga (SSY) completes 5 years of it's presence in Southern California (SOCAL).

Under the banner of Rishi Samskruti Vidya Kendra (RSVK) USA we started our activities in June 2004 with 1st class in Irvine. On August 18th 2005, Ms. Beth Krom (Mayor of Irvine) formally inaugurated the SSY-SOCAL center in divine presence of Poojya Guruji Rishi Prabhakarji & Yoga Master Shri Bupendra Soneji.

Today we are very happy to inform you that with the blessings of Poojya Guruji and support and encouragement of our other SSY teachers in US, Canada, Japan, Dubai, Brazil, UK and India, we have registered the Life Yessence Academy (LiYA) USA as a non-profit organization in the US.

LiYA® USA is a voluntary organization working for awakening human potential through meditation and consciousness training. The main purpose of LiYA® USA is to spread the profound knowledge of joyous living in USA in a systematic and scientific way.

Life Yessence Academy - LiYA® was established by Poojya Guruji Rishi Prabhakar to expand SSY globally. Today SSY programs in all countries other than India are conducted under this banner. And with creation of LiYA® USA we too will conduct all the wonderful SSY programs and projects in the US under this banner.

Our new, young and energetic team is very thankful to Poojya Guruji, our parent teachers, our sadhak (meditator) friends and all the SSY sevaks (volunteers) for the love and trust given us. We will always count on all of your love and support in future.

We promise that we will continue to dedicate ourselves to your service as before.

Sincerely
