Message of the Master

A Tribute...

We all are loving children of our beloved Gurudev. We all have many direct and indirect experiences of Gurudev's love and divine care. We always feel well protected under his divine guidance. We all have seen Gurudev in different stages and how he showers his love, compassion and wisdom on each one of us unconditionally.

The greatest tribute we can offer him is proof of having absorbed and understood his teachings, and the sincere effort to emulate his worthy example. We are fortunate to have his guidance, his strength and his blessings on the path to spirituality. No words can describe the tremendous spiritual growth his presence and teaching have bestowed on us.

Let us recollect some of Baba's words and pay our tributes to the great master who was and will continue to be the guiding light of our lives.

Message of Master is reflected in every issue of Sthita Prajna. The January 2012 issue speaks on yogic evolution.

Sthita Prajna - January 2012 | Volume 13, Issue 1

YOGIC THEORY OF EVOLUTION - HEREDITY

If you only read the words of Bhagavad Gita, you will not learn the true meaning of the spiritual texts, which describe soul cultivation. When you sit by the side of the Guru and read the Gita, learning its true meaning and meditation, you will attain God realization.

In the 13th chapter of the Gita human beings are described as twofold: consisting of a body kshetra and the soul, kshetrajna, the conductor of the body. The physical body consists of twenty four gross elements which include all the body functions such as sight, taste, touch, smell and so forth. Ultimately these twenty four elements keep people in delusion, illusion and error.

Since the soul is the conductor of the body and its twenty four elements, the soul creates the delusion, illusion and error. When a mother gives a child many dolls and toys, the child becomes engrossed in playing and completely forgets about the mother. Similarly human beings who remain in extroverted state completely forget their mother nature, the soul.

Realizing the presence of this forgotten soul is your birth right. Though all beings are born of sexual pleasure receiving DNA from both the parents; this DNA cannot function if the soul does not activate the life force in it. Every human being is a living soul and the soul nature is your true destiny. Your true heredity is the soul created by the grace of God, not by parents.

TREK FOR A CAUSE

27th June - 6th July | 2010

Paramahamsa Prajnanananda has recently commented "When I see these children and how much they are achieving in their lives, it gives me so much joy. I do not think I have ever seen a group of so many children living together and being so happy and joyful. An act of charity on our part gives them an opportunity that they would not otherwise have. Human civilisation will survive better when its under-privileged children are properly taken care of and helped to grow up successfully as the future of humankind."

The school ultimately needs to accommodate 480 children and substantial investment is still required to complete construction of the school buildings and infrastructure. The purpose of the Balashram trek is to raise funds for this construction work; however previous treks have also proved to be a wonderful experience for all those that have taken part.

For more information about the 2009 Hariharananda Balashram trek the organizers have created a website at www.balashramtrek.org which gives some information about previous treks and information on the upcoming trek. Please note that the funds will go via Kriya Yoga UK to Prajnana Mission in India for Hariharananda Balashram.
