Spend Your Time with an Enlightened Guru - Ep 2 | Swami Sivananda Saraswati

It is said that "You become like the people you spend the most time with. Choose wisely."
If this is the case, then the best choice you can make is to spend your time with an enlightened Guru who is free from all worries!
Of course, not all are fortunate enough to have the holy company of such a Guru. But at least we all can have the company of their books and videos containing their teachings.
Instead of wasting time on mundane activities and media entertainments, we can choose to study the life and teachings of great yogis and sages who attained freedom from all kinds of sufferings.
Their teachings will certainly help us in going beyond the illusions of this worldly existence.
Good news is that now we can access their teachings even on our mobile device for free! Thanks to our modern technology. In this way, one can even turn his/her mobile addiction into an opportunity to learn from enlightened Masters.
On the importance of holy company, great Guru Sri Adi Shankaracharya mentioned a verse in his Bhaja Govindam:
"Satsangatve nissangatvam
nissangatve nirmohatvam,
nirmohatve nischalatattvam
nischalatattve jivanmuktih."
Meaning: Through the company of the wise Sage, there arises non-attachment; from non-attachment comes freedom from delusion; where there is freedom from delusion, there is abidance in Self-knowledge, which leads to freedom while alive.
It is in this context that we have created this video series under the title, "Spend Your Time with an Enlightened Guru".
This is episode 2 of this video series and it contains teachings of enlightened master Swami Sivananda Saraswati. He explains about an easy method to concentrate on the Self. Hope you all will get benefited from this.
About Swami Sivananda:
Swami Sivananda Saraswati (1887 - 1963) was a great Yogi and enlightened Guru who lived in Rishikesh, India. He was the founder of Divine Life Society.

[@jimmason08]

I have been meditating for a couple years now. Just recently, I was able to enter a very different level of consciousness in which my awareness and perception was greatly expanded. So far, I've had the best luck of achieving this state after smoking a bowl, blindfolding myself and listening to edm/house/trance music in a half ass lotus position. I haven't come close to it sober. It is still hard to focus/hold my attention, but the music and pot do seem to have a significant effect. Just my 2 cents. I am still experimenting.

When I met Freddie mcCoy dit Ahmed Sofi, he told me Breathe always through your nose 👃, even when you talk and laugh. This system of breathing brings you in direct contact with GOD. Do Hatha Yoga and meditation, IN this way, naturaly you will find the inner silent and the space of Peace 🙏

[@MathiEesha]

'I' is the first thought which rises from the source, if you try to control or think about breathing or any other Yoga, it also becomes an I thought, because You or I or mind is trying to control the activities Don't do anything sit where ever you are, while you are relaxing ask the question I tried to do this and that but Who am I ? If you keep practicing this The Little YOU will go back to Source

[@YourHomieEarn]

i dont understand how you can go from posting Sri Ramana first, who literally mentions that chanting mantras is just mental activity, to now posting a video which speaks about chanting.. i'm so confused, is it just about releasing content now or what?

[@sjdnfjnj]

So are u saying chanting is bad or what?

[@YourHomieEarn]

@@sjdnfjnj no, i am not saying chanting is bad, but Sri Ramana said that one should find the source of the 1 who is chanting.. and that methods like the one described above are just mental activities. In order to know the true self one should find the source of the "i" (or in this case, the 1 chanting) only then will all thoughts stop and the self be realised.. methods like these are like a thief, dressing up like a cop and trying to catch himself

[@goumuk]

different paths, same destination. Underlying all paths is one single common factor - concentration. Without that none of the methods will work. One can choose whichever path that suits him/her.

[@SupremeYogi]

@Homie, this method is for those who experience difficulty in practicing Ramana Maharshi's Self-enquiry or tracing the source of thoughts. If you are capable of practicing Self-enquiry without much difficulties, then you need not practice any other methods. Ramana Maharshi himself said that other methods are meant for those who cannot take to the investigation of the Self.

[@suraj.k.2475]

For the proof for yours saying that saints belonging to Paramhamsa practice Hamsa dyana you can refer to the Kirtana of Sri Sadashiva Brahmendra, a noted Raja yogi of Nerur who states Sarvatra Sada.. Hamsadyanam Kartavyam Bhoo.. in the last lines of his Kirtana Sarvam Brahmamayam which compased during his last days.
