Guru Poornima and Nada Yoga Course

For thousands of years Vyas Purnima or Guru Purnima has been celebrated as a day of worship of Guru. On this sacred full moon of July we can receive the grace and blessing of all Gurus who have ever lived, who are alive today, and those who are yet to be born.

During his stay at Rikhiapeeth Swami Satyananda did not ever conduct the guru puja here, as although millions all over the world saw him as their guru, he himself said, "I am foremost and will always remain a disciple not a Guru, it is discipleship that is important not Gurudom."

This year in 2010, after the Mahasamadhi, for the first time Rikhiapeeth will commemorate Guru Purnima and conduct the guru puja in honour of the disciple of disciples, Swami Satyananda who lived and breathed only for his guru, Swami Sivananda Saraswati. This year Rikhiapeeth, the tapobhumi of Paramahansa Satyananda will come alive with prayers and worship of Sadguru Swami Sivananda, Swami Satyananda as well as all Gurus of the universe who inspire our lives

Devotees who wish to offer their love and devotion to Guru and invoke the grace and blessings of Guru Shakti into their lives may register by phone and letter at the earliest.

The Guru Purnima celebration will commence on 23rd - 24th July and culminate with the actual Guru Puja from 7-11 am on the 25th of July.

In preparation for the sacred guru puja, a Nada Yoga Course (English) will be conducted at Rikhiapeeth from 15th - 20th July 2010. This advanced course gives participants from all around the world the unique opportunity to experience the ancient tantric technique of penetrating the deeper layers of the mind utilizing sound as a medium. These ancient techniques have been revealed by Swami Satyananda and are particularly powerful when practiced in the spiritually charged atmosphere of Rikhiapeeth. Sincere participants are welcome to apply for this unique course that offers advanced practical and theoretical classes along with ashram life experience.

For information and registration please contact as soon as possible as places are limited: Tel: 06432-290870/ 09304-488889/ 09304-799449.

GOD(Guardian of Divinity) is so great that we are able to read the satsangs of Pujyagurudevji whereever we are .My sincere and heartfelt thanks on this wonderful blog.
I am sure as Swamiji has said we are in an era wherein the realisation will dawn on one and all sooner or later when we see the real lies (maya)of the universe and understand the real that lies in us.

Namo Narayan Swamiji

I don't know how to meditate.But i use the time of my mantra sadhana and japa as my meditation.sometimes i pray for realiseation or illumination.But majority of the time i feel why should i ask for anything or pray for anything either for myself or for others.As we know that God is all knowing and just and acts accordingly what is the need for us to remind him of his duties and who are we to do so.I am not sure whther it is right to ask this question but cannot hide my inquistion which is born out of ignorance.All the scriptures tell us clearly that brahman alone is real and all else is maya and even my self has felt so during certain times.
Please pardon me if it is not right.

Namo Narayana! Param Pujya Swamiji
Namo Narayana! Swami Satsangiji

Please accept my heartfelt thanks and gratitude for this blog . It shall be sometime when this new form of connection will truly sink in :-)

I used to get tears in my eyes while reciting Saundarya Lahiri in Ashram . On the day of Diwali when I was watching Guru Poornima DVD , I heard Guruji mentioning that through the Aradhana of Devi , we all can alleviate suffering from our lives .

Since then , I was wondering where would I get a recording of Saundarya Lahiri so that I too can take control of my life's sufferings.

Then I found it here . I guess Guru does indeed take care of the disciples even when they are far away .

I eagerly wait to be at your feet during Sat Chandi MahaYagna.



A small question : I could not find the Kanya Bhoj and other videos which I had seen the last time around (17th Oct). Could you please guide me ?

Namaonarayan
We are very pride to experience the Satsang discourse of Paramhansa Swami Satyanand Saraswati which is demand of this century. People would be benefited by attending satsang and further be able to balance their physical,mental and emotional balance thereof. Satsang vigorates the mental faculty of the person which in due course set right all other faculties of the human being. Swamiji humbly showed the capability of the persons to achieve and deliver during the life time - Yogendramurthi
