🕊️ Monday Reflection | Ahimsa

“The first step in the regeneration and divinisation of man is Ahimsa.” — Swami Sivananda

Every act of non-violence begins in the mind. When our thoughts become pure, our words become gentle, and our actions naturally express compassion.

The practice of Ahimsa is not limited to avoiding harm, it is a conscious way of living that nurtures peace within ourselves and in the world around us. As we begin this new week, let us strive to cultivate kindness, patience, and understanding in every interaction.

🕉️ Health is Wealth. Peace of Mind is Happiness. Yoga Shows the Way.

🪔 Happy Guru Purnima 🪔

“Gurur Brahma, Gurur Vishnu, Gurur Devo Maheshwarah;
Guruh Sakshat Parabrahma, Tasmai Shri Gurave Namah.”

The Guru is the Creator, the Preserver, and the Transformer. The Guru is the embodiment of the Supreme Reality. To that revered Guru, I offer my humble salutations.
On this auspicious day, we offer our heartfelt pranams to Swami Sivananda and Swami Vishnudevananda, whose teachings continue to inspire and guide seekers across the world.
May we always remain sincere students, practising with humility, discipline, devotion, and gratitude.
Om Namo Bhagavate Sivanandaya 🙏
Om Namo Bhagavate Vishnudevanandaya 🙏
Wishing everyone a blessed and joyous Guru Purnima.

Sit in Padmasana in your meditation room or area.
Close your eyes.
Meditate on the effulgence in the sun, or the splendour in the moon or the glory in the stars.

🧘‍♂️ Why Meditate?

We spend much of our lives searching outward for answers, while the deepest truths lie within.

Meditation is the practice of observing the mind, turning inward, and discovering the quiet wisdom that is always present beneath the noise of daily life.

“The meaning of life is found by diving deep, deep within.”

📖 Inspired by Meditation and Mantras by Swami Vishnudevananda.
