Lord Krishna is all that begins with OM, he is Omnipresent, Omniscient, and Omnipotent.

OM - The Supreme Combination of Letters Emanating from the Flute of Sri Krsna! 

O son of Kunti, I am the taste of water, the light of the sun and the moon, the syllable OM in the Vedic mantras; I am the sound in ether and ability in man. (Bhagavad Gita 7.8)

I am the father of this universe, the mother, the support and the grandsire. I am the object of knowledge, the purifier and the syllable OM. I am also the Rg, the Sama and the Yajur Vedas. (Bhagavad Gita 9.17)

Of the great sages I am Bhrgu; of vibrations I am the transcendental OM. Of sacrifices I am the chanting of the holy names [japa], and of immovable things I am the Himalayas. (Bhavavad Gita 10.25)

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare

Aaj Mere Piya Ghar Aavenge [Song]

What is the way to get to Ishwara Prapti? First, we need to understand is it necessary to attain God? Why do we need to attain God? Sri Krishna says to Arjuna that sometimes people get so tied up with the comforts of life that they become lazy. This kind of comfort puts them into sleep. They don’t realize what is truth,lie, right or wrong. They become lazy. What is the definition of laziness? The emotion that stops you from doing what you want to do is laziness. These comforts also make them careless. What is carelessness? When you keep doing things without realizing its purpose is carelessness. This kind of sukh (pleasure) is tamasi in nature. All the sukhas that we get from outside are tamasi in nature. These tamasi sukhas that people acquire from outside make them indifferent towards their purpose of life. 

Arjuna surrenders to Sri Krishna completely by saying that I am ignorant therefore I don’t know what is right or wrong for me. I will do what you think is right for me. But a normal person does not have that conviction.

Ishwara Prapti - [Hindi] - 1

The first and foremost thing you need to change is the perspective, a viewpoint, and a standpoint. If you are holding on to just one viewpoint, you will not be able to get the real truth. There comes a time a when you are tired and then you realize the truth. Buddha said that there are two mistakes a person can make, either they don’t tread a path or start on the path and leave it in the middle. When you tread a path with determination, you will get to the destination. You will know the purpose of your existence.

Tapasyā - [Hindi] - 1

How would you live if there were no restrictions in your life? Many people spend most of their life contemplating what they would be able to do once certain things are achieved in their life.  All these other things such as marriage, kids, buying a new house, etc. take priority over what they want to do.  Half of their life is gone in waiting for the right time to come and the other half is spent dreaming about it. Everything else takes precedence. What if you could pursue something that you always wanted to do and there is no restriction in your life? Usually, it is a person, a circumstance, or another priority that restricts you from pursuing it. 

Everybody has a story of life and that story is written by him or her only. People start living in that story thinking that this is how they are and will be. They set their own benchmarks as to where they stand. They feel that they cannot learn a new art or cannot play a musical instrument or cannot sing because they don’t have a good voice. They have created these labels for themselves.

Dhyana Yoga - Path to Happiness - [Hindi]

Om Swami's discourse on meditation at hindi meditation camp at the ashram. 

A person feels bored in life because they feel they have no purpose. There is energy in the mind but they don’t know where to put that energy. One of the most common questions asked by many is what their objective is in life or how to find the purpose of life.  People can follow a certain purpose on other’s opinions but that purpose will not sustain for long unless it comes from your own heart.  You alone have to discover what you need to do in your life. Till the time you can’t find the purpose on your own you can try to learn something new. It could be learning music, dancing or playing a sport. You have to find something that will make you happy and you feel content in doing it.

Whatever purpose you give yourself, you will not get the best out of it in the beginning. Initially, you will feel hurdles, distractions and find problems in it. It is only when you start to delve deeper, your purpose in life will start becoming clearer.

Listen to this discourse by Om Swami on finding a purpose in your life.

Dhyana Yoga - Purpose of Life - [Hindi]

The question is, “Is it better to chant mantras loudly or internally?” It is always better to chant mantra internally.  If you are eulogizing bhagwan out of your devotional sentiments then you can chant loudly. For example, sahasranamas, stutis are generally done loudly. However, if you are chanting a mantra it is best to do it internally.  Internally, you can do it loudly though. There is a big difference. When you are doing chanting for long periods, you will have to divide the mantras into different parts to maintain the concentration. In order maintain the sharpness, clarity and lucidity when you are chanting for a long period of time, sometimes you need to slow it down or go faster or murmur or chant loud to maintain the concentration.  So, you can chant loudly but inside. 

The following question is,” For purascharana, is it necessary for the sadhak to take the mantra from an enlightened guru or can the sadhak take mantra from his choice of other sources like books etc.?”

Listen to this insightful discourse by Om Swami on mantra science.

Mississuaga Temple Discourse - 31st March

Mississuaga Discourse - 30th Mar

Today, I bring to you the most important video. This is not just any video. It is not a discourse. This is my living experience, the one I breathe and live every moment of my life.

Every single word uttered in the video is pure truth; truth as I saw, as I experienced and as I felt. This video contains my first-hand account of what all happened when I got my first comprehensive, living and&nbsp;unambiguous&nbsp;vision of the Divine Mother. The narrative is in Hindi. Some day in the future, we may just put subtitles; I stand unsure about that.

Many a times people ask me if I have seen the Divine Mother and if so, what is She like! Each time I vivified my experience, I found it hard to do anything worldly for many days after that. So, I promised many that one day I would record it so all those who want to know, can see it.

If you can grip the subtle messaging in the video and can inculcate it in your own life, you will never feel the need to hear another discourse, read another post, or embrace any other teaching. Rest, you watch it and see how you feel.

I recommend that you watch it when you have uninterrupted thirty minutes to spare. Sit in solitude, put your head phones on, turn off your mobile, remove all distractions and watch this video. I think you will get something out of it, especially if you believe in the notion of God.

Peace.
Swami

Vision of the Goddess [Hindi]

This kirtan was sung by Om Swami at the ashram on April 30th. It was a beautiful experience. All the villagers joined in.

Hare Krishna by Om Swami

Om Swami is a Himalayan monk, adept in meditation. At the peak of his meditative practice, he was meditating for 22 hours a day. He has spent 15,000+ hours meditating & has experienced our sublime consciousness in ways that defy any scientific understanding.

Researchers from IIT in India have studied the remarkable effects of his intense practice and published the results in a 2019 research paper https://bit.ly/3axrzdv 

After coming back from Himalayas, Swami wanted to help sincere seekers in search of enlightenment. Gradually he realized that people wanted his help for various ‘how to’ in life (joy, relationship, anger, work, self-discipline, stress, etc). Through his talks, seminars, books, and videos – his purpose remains the same – to help people. 

Whether you are practicing meditation, mindfulness, or simply looking for help with self-discipline – this channel can help. Think of it as a series of self-help videos and don’t forget to
