Swami Maheshwarananda
In New York , Yoga and World
Peace Conference, Vishwaguruj
Swami Madhavananda
defined the relation between
space and consciousness, and
said that "yoga harmonizes,
balances and unites the human body,
mind, and consciousness ."
According to Vishwaguruji, the
primary aim of the conference was to
awaken awareness in the individual
and in society as a whole, to the
significance and importance of world
peace.
During his two months world tour
( Feb- March) spreading the message of Yoga and World Peace, in Atlanta
USA, Swami Madhavananda said, "God
is formless, nirakar, like the blue sky.
When God appears in a form, we are
able to touch and speak with Him. In
the higher world of Brahman, there
are no divisions.
On the spiritual lineage, he said,
"The consciousness of the yogi can
travel around the endless Universe.
Nada Rupa Parabrahma - the form of
missing the Supreme is sound. Our
spiritual lineage started during Satya
Yuga when Sri Alakhpuriji was living in
the Himalayas.
On "meditation," Vishwaguruji said, "Energy flows from the cosmos.
The swastika sign is a symbol for the
Sun. Life will never die. According to
Yoga, spirituality means purity, a way
to the soul which is covered by the five
bodies. Mind is like a reflection and you
cannot control the mind. Yoga
exercises release tension."
On the purification
of the body Swamiji
said, "Habit is the
'second nature' of
man. In some cases,
we have enough
time to find a shop
and buy alcohol, but
we are not able to
find time for good
things. Pranayama
techniques help to
purify toxins from
our body and mind;
and they are
scientific techniques
to regenerate our
energies as well.
Yoga and World Peace Conference at the UN Headquarters, New York.
How to practise meditation ? He
explained, "meditation is the way to
activate the hidden powers in humans
that are dormant. There are certain
postures developed by the ancient
rishis. When we are meditating, we are
coming closer to ourselves."
In the US at Alexandria, Swamiji
explained precisely the importance of
Karma and Koshas, purification of the
body and the attributes of the Guru. He
said, "The soul goes through difficult
situations in the astral world. Whatever
you do, you have to face the karma.
The result sometimes comes
immediately; sometimes it takes more
time. There are two doors: one to
Heaven, the other to Hell. Whatever
mistakes we make, we still have time to
make a correction. Purify the five
bodies. We should have healthy food."

and mind; and they are scientific

as well."
About the attributes of the Guru,
he explained, "Shiva is the first creator
- He who has manifested Himself.
When you have to talk, mentally pray
to the masters. The place of the Guru
is the heart; vocal cords are the place
of Sarasvati. If you follow that, your
speech will be successful, because you
are becoming the instrument of the
supreme."
At Vedic Temple, Georgia, US he
said "This place is like the centre of the
Universe. We need Vedic culture for
the knowledge of how to be a human.
According to the Upanishads, the first
guru/God is the mother. The yogi is
able to utilize amrit, the nectar which
is coming from Bindu Chakra.
He also emphasized Yoga practice
that gives good health. Speaking on
this subject, he said, "what is in the
universe is in our body. God gave
everything to his children. Sarasvati is
the goddess of wisdom. Without the
five elements, we cannot survive. God
cares for our life. God is Nirakar. The
rotation of our Chakras is exactly like
the rotation of the Sun. Yoga practice
is a medicine. Are you aware of your
body? We should return to organic
food. We are constantly swallowing
our problems. You are your own
doctor. Now 87 per cent of people
have no knowledge of cooking.
Cooking is a science."
Yoga is the science of body, mind
and soul. Everything is the creation of
one Creator. There is beautiful
resonance in the whole Universe, from
which the fire element, the light came.
The seed of the Divine is present in
every being. If we would like to achieve
our aim, we must be aware.
In Vancouver, Canada, in his speech
he told the conference not to eat animals. He said, "It is very rare for the
soul to obtain a human body. We are
destroying our planet; for our own
comfort, we harm other creatures.
Humans should not kill anyone and
should not eat anyone. Ahimsa - non
violence - is for the humans. Love and
feed animals, do not eat them.
On Holi festival at Atlanta, US, while
addressing Satsang, Vishwaguru ji
explained the significance of the Holi
festival by telling the story of King
Hiranyakashyap, who declared himself
as God and finally was killed by
Narsingh Avatar. Time to time,
God incarnates on the earth to protect
the devotees !
