Sound Bite: To Get Enlightened

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 03:00:00 -0400

To get enlightened you have to cooperate with the process. So you may have to revamp your diet. And your mental diet. What thoughts do you feed yourself? And you may have to work on how you show up in relationships. Meditating in solitude won’t make you a master of relationships. A yoga master is a master of the world, as well as a master of... — Gurudevi Nirmalananda

Sound Bite: Divine Happiness

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 03:00:00 -0400

In the Upanishads there is a question, “What do human beings want?” The answer is that we want happiness. Everything we do, we do for the sake of happiness. We seek that happiness through our work, through our friends and family, through art and science, through food, drink and entertainment. For happiness we perform all the... — Gurudevi Nirmalananda

Sound Bite: Yogic Bliss

Tue, 26 May 2026 03:00:00 -0400

There are two ways to be experiencing yogic bliss: from the outside — looking inward, or from the inside — looking outward. When you do some spinal release poses, or Ujjayi Pranayama, mantra, chanting, any of the practices we do, when you’ve gotten lost in the world again outside yourself, you do these practices and now, you’re looking inward. Any of these practices settle you inward. And the deeper you go, the more bliss you experience. And then deeper, beyond your senses, beyond your mind, beyond your idea of who you are. All the way in, to your own Self. Oh, Shiva. — Gurudevi Nirmalananda

Sound Bite: Who You Really Are

Tue, 19 May 2026 03:00:00 -0400

One of the glorious things I love about Baba’s gift to us is when I see it blossoming in you. Of course it’s Shaktipat that makes it happen. That’s Baba’s gift. But you are the one who’s blossoming, and I get to watch as you become more you. As you find who you really are, you bring your light and your Essence into your life and into the world. You glow in the dark, and you can feel it. — Gurudevi Nirmalananda

Teachings Article: Metamorphosis

Mon, 18 May 2026 03:05:00 -0400

Spirituality changes your body as well as your mind and heart. The changes blossom forth as your spiritual essence fills you from the inside. This is not merely a mood change. Your body changes. A body that runs on anxiety is different than a body running on bliss. Your nervous system and hormones operate differently when you stand down from red alert. Research has proven that, when you are happy, your digestion and elimination work better. What do you suppose happens when you’re in bliss? Your lungs and heart, your immune system and even the composition of your blood are changed. Your biological age markers …

Teachings Article: Mystical Upgrade

Mon, 18 May 2026 03:00:00 -0400

When I met my Baba, I hadn’t been following the rules. As a teen in the 60’s, I took rebellion seriously. Fortunately, tantra is for everyone. Even if your lifestyle isn’t yogic and your karma is messy, the Satguru will give you Shaktipat initiation. External perfection is not a prerequisite because tantrics recognize imperfection as another form of the Divine. Besides, once you’ve been awakened to your own Divine Essence, you want to live your life in attunement. Lifestyle changes…

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 03:00:00 -0400

You need a body to be here in this world. This means your body is important. Your body’s condition affects your experience of life. You know this from having the flu. Not able to do anything, you can’t even think. It works the other way around. Your body experiences your thoughts as real events. You can think yourself into a panic. You can think yourself into exhaustion. Does this mean you can think yourself into bliss? And that you can heal your body by thinking different thoughts…

Your life lessons are presented over, and over, and over again until you get it. Once you learn the lesson you don’t need to repeat it. You can move on, which I call “Outgrowing Your Past.” Even if the same or similar events recur, you see them differently. Thus, you react differently.

Sound Bite: Peaceful Mind

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 03:00:00 -0400

Your mind is made of cosmic Consciousness but mixed with your individual prana. Which means your mind accesses only a limited part of Consciousness, only as much as your prana allows. And that means when you’re low on prana, your mind is dying on the vine. So, your mind brings up all the threatening things that could happen, or have happened, giving you thoughts that match... — Gurudevi Nirmalananda

It is your soul, purusha, that reincarnates from one lifetime to the next.

Something wonderful happens when you simply sit. No phone, no music, nothing to read, to say or to do. Gradually settling into easy motionlessness, your body becomes still. Then your mind becomes still… Next, most people fall asleep or drift in a dreamy sleep-like state. But on the way inward, you can take the other fork in the road. Instead of settling into unconsciousness, you can delve into the bliss of Consciousness within. This is yoga’s promise, that when your…

Teachings Article: Illusion & Delusion

Wed, 15 Oct 2025 08:39:42 -0400

Maayaa is illusion. Moha is delusion. A magician doing card tricks is a master of illusion. To believe their illusions are real is delusion. Energy manifests as matter. This means matter isn’t really solid. You could call it an illusion. Some meditative traditions base their teachings on this principle. Kashmiri Shaivism says the illusion is real. You are living in a movie set. But there is nowhere else to go. This is Shiva’s movie set. The storyline is compelling because…

Eventually, your most valued pleasures become stale. And you realize that you want something the world cannot offer. Your focus turns to spiritual development. This is called sannyasa.

Yet they are all made of the same ocean water. They are all the same while they are all different. Like this, Shiva is being everything in the universe. Every individual and every single thing is different from the others, yet all are made of Shiva. Shiva is having a glorious time being…

Teachings Article: Giving Yourself Over

Tue, 12 Aug 2025 03:00:00 -0400

Yoga teaches surrender. This is how you get enlightened. It is also how you fall in love. Surrender is how you experience God, whether looking outward or inward. In English, surrender means you lost the battle. Yoga uses Sanskrit words that point to becoming free, giving something to the care of another or taking refuge. You go through stages in learning how to give over. Bottom line, it is surrender that yoga values — not to whom you are surrendering. Why? Because each time you surrender…

Wed, 06 Aug 2025 03:00:00 -0400

By Gurudevi Nirmalananda

We love the moon’s silvery-white light, a cooling light. Its soft glow illumines the darkness, soothing and calming your mind. Yet the moon is not the source of its light. It merely reflects the light of the sun. Similarly, the light of Consciousness shines through your mind. The source is within, your own Divine Essence. If your mind were clear and spacious, your mind’s light would be cool, soothing and comforting. However, if your mind is full of limiting notions, Consciousness first has to burn them away…

While you may wish for bliss in every meditation, it’s actually the busy meditations that are moving you toward enlightenment faster. Just like a car speeding along the highway passes more scenery, when you’re really zipping along... — Gurudevi Nirmalananda

So, at the end of your meditation, when you leap up and you get moving, physically or maybe it’s just your mind, you’re blocking your ability to see the Divine in the mundane. You’ve gone back to measuring, analyzing, counting... — Gurudevi Nirmalananda

Sound Bite: The Bliss of Consciousness

Tue, 18 Mar 2025 03:00:00 -0400

You have a right to bliss. The bliss of Consciousness, for it is what you are made of. If you aren’t experiencing the bliss of Consciousness, you don’t know who you really are. Fortunately, on this path, the bliss comes early. But it’s not unconscious bliss... — Gurudevi Nirmalananda

Sound Bite: Enlivened by Grace

Tue, 11 Mar 2025 03:00:00 -0400

You know, the teachings are not enough. They must be enlivened by Grace. You can read the teachings. We read them in translation from the ancient texts, and you can read them for decades and never have a real experience. You certainly will get understandings, aha moments, intellectual breakthroughs, but without any real depth. The experience of your own Self is a feeling, not a thought. It is a deep quality of beingness, not a…. — Gurudevi Nirmalananda

Teachings Article: Enlightenment Is a Process

Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:24:42 -0500

I wanted instant enlightenment. I didn’t get it. I wanted the express elevator to the penthouse. I had to climb the stairs. At least I knew where I was headed for I’d had amazing experiences after receiving Shaktipat from my Guru. This inner awakening showed me that there was more to me than I dreamed possible. I’d had a peek at Consciousness. It was a promise of my future. It made me willing to do the climb. Like stairs with landings, at each new level I grew into expanded…

Sound Bite: Something Worth Finding

Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:35:32 -0500

Yoga explains that there is something worth finding, but it is located inside. Yoga gives you a peek at it - a glimpse of your own Self. And tools to attune yourself to your own Self - ways to progressively surrender into who you already are. And yoga gives you proof. Proof that there is a…

Tue, 25 Feb 2025 03:00:00 -0500

The feeling I had after my first yoga class was the beginning of how I always feel now. The peace, the awe, the inner vastness, the lightness of being, the ease and openness — I was experiencing Self. My first yoga teacher didn’t give me words for it. I could only call it “that yoga feeling.” It made me want.... — Gurudevi Nirmalananda

Teachings Article: Getting Set Free

Fri, 14 Feb 2025 03:00:00 -0500

Born into bondage, your life’s task is to fly free. You begin the process like a caged bird who keeps flexing its wings, wanting to fly. Your cage door is opened by one who is already free. This is the Shaktipat Guru’s task, to set you free by opening up the inner arising of Consciousness. Thus you discover the truth that has been hidden for so long, that your essence is Divine. The not-knowing of your own Self is what causes all your pain. It is the result of…

Sound Bite: Tantric Tradition

Tue, 11 Feb 2025 03:00:00 -0500

We are in a tantric tradition. Tantra goes about it completely differently. Tantra says, “Let’s just shred anava mala.” Through Shaktipat, I will open you up from the inside out. Shred anava mala so you have experiences of your own Self. You know who you are. Go ahead… — Gurudevi Nirmalananda

Your own Self is Consciousness-Itself.

Chaitanyam atma. — Shiva Sutras 1.1

This is the first sutra, in the first chapter of the first text of Kashmiri Shaivism, our yogic tradition. The first sutra is the most important one. — Gurudevi Nirmalananda

Sound Bite: The Guru's Job

Tue, 14 Jan 2025 03:00:00 -0500

It was Baba that gave me God. That’s the Guru’s job – to give you access to what is already there inside. But you haven’t been able to find it. It can be hard to understand God and Guru. They are One, while being different. I’ll compare it to the front door of your house. It’s part of your house. You wouldn’t want that wall to be solid. You wouldn’t want your house to be without an entry portal. The Guru is the door by which you enter into... — Gurudevi Nirmalananda

When you experience love, you feel fulfilled. This is an important part of life, the experience of loving. Your loving of someone does touch the other person, yes.

Mon, 16 Dec 2024 03:00:00 -0500

Gratitude and devotion are not the same thing. Gratitude is always for something, it’s transactional. You get x, so you feel grateful for it. You say, “Thank you.” You even know how to say thank you whether you’re grateful or not. But hopefully you get to enjoy being grateful. Still, it’s a transaction. Devotion is unfounded, even unbounded. When you experience devotion, it’s... — Gurudevi Nirmalananda

In the fourth century BCE, Alexander the Great arrived in Phrygia, a kingdom in what is now Turkey. There, outside the castle, an oxcart was parked tied to a post with a complex knot called the Gordion knot. An oracle had declared that any man who could unravel the knot was destined to become the ruler of all of Asia. Alexander the Great took a look at that.
