Title: Sadhana to Uplift

August 31st, everyone. The month of August has been a wonderful month, as you know. You have been following what we have been doing. What we are doing is not what we want to do, we just do the next thing. We have to do it. Therefore, we want to do it. We do what we do, in love. Same with you. Go to your place of work, in love with your work and with everyone there. Don't make differences. Don't like one person more than another, because that causes division. Also it is not professional. A lot of people in the work place have their favorite people and the favorite people together, have their enemies. Often the boss is the enemy.

We must love everyone. Love comes from the higher chakras. Contention, division, gossip, back-biting are the lower chakras. You saw the big chakra man on the pervious issue of Hinduism Today? Look at it carefully and you can lift yourself from the lower to the higher, if you happen to find yourself in the lower. You have the will to do that and only you can do that. The grace of God within you can help you do this.

We are looking forward to our moon calendar phase of five days, very eventful. The day-after-tomorrow, the famous world traveler Swami Pragyanand is coming to Kauai Aadheenam for three days, celebrating his birthday with us. He has a large Ashram in New Delhi, building a multi-million dollar school and center in his home-town, not too many miles away. He is a very important person and we are very happy to have Him with us.

Of course, visitors have been coming and going, wonderful devotees on pilgrimage coming in the right spirit and when that happens, that uplifts all of us. We really are uplifted by the pilgrims.

Just a word of advise, in summary, to you. Treat everyone equal in your family. Treat everyone equal in your work place. Don't have likes and don't have dislikes. This means, if you don't like somebody, you love everybody. Liking is kind of tolerating their existence, loving is accepting them into your heart. Everyone is your teacher. Some teach you what to do and others have the greater lesson, they teach you what not to do by their example. But still, love them anyway and thank them for who they are. Accept everyone for the wonderful being on the spiritual path of evolution towards the Self, which the Vedas speak so eloquently about.

Aum Namasivaya.

Manish and Nita Gupta recently married and are on their honeymoon/pilgrimage from Florida.

The beautiful Narmada Lingam that is installed on the path of the Saiva Saints gives pilgrims the opportunity to worship in a very personal and direct way, just as is done at thousands of small Siva Lingams one finds all throughout India.

Worship of the formless mark of the transcendent absolute from when issues the power that manifests and permeates all of existence. Siva Yogaswami told us, "The medicine you need is at hand: Siva Dhyanam and Siva Thondu. Meditation on Siva and Service To Siva." The path of the Saiva Saints is a beautiful place of seclusion for pilgrims where you can go and leave the mundane world behind.
