Swami Vishwananda talks about the Atma and Paramatma

Swami Vishwananda  says: "Everybody can change.

This is the connection that the Atma has with Paramatma and this connection is not a connection of just now. Now we are limited to the body, we each have an individual body and each one thinks of themselves as separate. What is the Atma? It’s part of Paramatma and this Atma one day, whether it´s in this life or in a hundred lives, will go back to its Source where it comes from. There is no chance that it will never go back there, but it´s up to each one whether to quicken it or not. That´s the free will that God has given. You can quicken your way to the Divine and realise Him or you can just sit around and make it longer, which many people like to do. But everybody, in the end, will reach the Divine, because the essence of your Self is only Him.

Swami Vishwananda talks about the power of God's names

Swami Vishwananda says: "And, if you want peace of mind, let it run behind the name of God. You see, the name of God is a mystery; even to great saints the name of God is a mystery. Like it is said in the Gita: “Not even the greatest of saints can understand my name” so imagine the power that the name has. Why do we see saints emphasise meditating? What does one see in meditation? In meditation, when the mind is calm, you have a contact, personal contact with the Divine, not outside, but within you. And this inner contact is the most wonderful and the most powerful contact that you can ever have. Through many generations in life men have been searching, but yet, being born as humans, we are bound by rnanubandhana which is, in short, karma. We are bound by certain things that we have done, deeds that we have done in previous life that don´t let us be free. Of course, you can run many places, but if you don´t take the time to run within yourself, all the places that you run outside,they will be of no use. It is said, “If you take a bath in the Ganges, or other holy rivers, you get purified of one birth”. But, when you are bathed in the divine name, whatever name, whatever deity you feel close with – the name of Jesus, Muhammad, Rama, Krishna, Devi -, if you get bathed in that divine name, you are released from many births. Misery is removed just by chanting the divine name. Liberation is granted just by realising the connection that you have with the Divine within you. This is where Kriya comes from. "

Swami Vishwananda gave a satsang in Mauritius

At the question-answer session in  Sri Ranganath Temple in Rose-Hill Swami Vishwananda said: "People complains often to me about their problems. The good things that people do to you, you forget it very quickly and the bad things that people do to you you remember all your life.
Often one said to God: please give me this, give me that. Do you think God doesn't know what you need? If God gives us problems it is to make us think about it, it is to brings us forward. More you are closer to God more you have problems. Those who don't have problems they are immersed in the illusion, in Maya. At the end of the Mahabarata, Kunti asked Krishna: Please give me always problems so that I always remember you and call you.
God allays talk to us inside but we don't hear Him because we are too busy outside. That's why try to calm your mind.
When you do a Puja focus on what you are doing. Focus on your Divinity. If the mind wanders, bring your mind back to the divinity you are worshiping."

Swami Vishwananda talked upon the essence of the mind

During the darshan in Cudrefin, Switzerland, Swami Vishwananda said:" The essence of the mind are thoughts. The mind is always wandering. By nature and by habits it wanders. We can compare the mind with clay. With clay you can fashion whatever you want: a pot or the statue of a deity. With the mind it is the same you can focus on the image you want. But the mind is always moving, it is difficult to control. As it wanders you have to bring it back again and again. Keep on trying. When the mind is absorbed in the Divine, the mind start to take the quality, the form of the Divinity you are calling. The quality is infused in the mind. The person becomes calm and reflects the quality of the Divine. You have control over your thoughts and your body. To put yourself in silence: speak less and speak best. You will control your tongue by chanting the Divine names and by thinking what you will say before you speak. Be aware that the Divine is in you and that you are part of the Divinity. The Lord is present everywhere and within his creation.Remind yourself of your true nature: you are part of the Paramatma."

Swami Vishwananda speaks about Humility

Many people tell me “Swamiji, it’s very difficult; it’s very difficult to be humble.”  It’s true. Some people 

told me again today it’s difficult. Actually, all of you want to Realise God and to Realise God one also has to develop the qualities of the Divine.

So for Godnothing is difcult and everything is possible, but for the human mind, with human limitations, everything is impossible. If you transcend this mind and yourself, everything will be easy. It all depends on how you think of things. If you think it is difficult, it will become difcult. Like I have always said, God is the Creator, but part of this Creator is present inside of us. When we create the barrier and think that it’s difcult, when we become the creator of this big barrier, then it will become difcult. But when we say “Yes, I can transcend everything” we become positive towards ourselves. We develop the qualities and we make it happen. 

Darshan of Swami Vishwananda in Bratislava

Swami Vishwananda said: " In the spiritual path of all religions, first they give you a rosary, a mala or a masbaha because the Divine name calms the mind.Through the Divine name you attain the Divine Grace. For realisation you need both: your own effort and the Divine Grace.

Swami Vishwananda spoke about the mind in Bratislava

 

Swami Vishwananda said:" The mind is a bundle of thoughts and memories. The work of the mind is to dwell upon an object. Every object has a form. You perceive the object with your sense and give a name and a form with your mind. What is the form of love? continue on:

Swami Vishwananda talked about the purpose of Life

Swami Vishwananda said in the darshan given in Split: "If you learn to control the mind, you will learn the purpose of Life. Why are we here? We pass most of our time thinking about what we will do outside, in the world and only very few time thinking about our life purpose. Jesus said in the Bible: "Look first for the Kingdom of God and every thing will be given to you."

Swami Vishwananda gave a Satsang in Switzerland

 

Swami Vishwananda said : "The book of Yogananda: The second coming of Christ talks about the return of Christ on a white horse, the Kalki avatar of the Hinduism is also riding on a white horse, the Koran says that the return of Mohamed will be on a flying white horse. All this shows the similarity of the holy scriptures. It is the same person. The Kalki avatar will bring peace and justice on earth. He will uplift the mankind. When will He come? When everybody awake the unconditional love inside his heart. There is no date for this coming. God is not bound by any time. He is the Lord of the time himself. The white horse symbolizes the purity together with a controlled mind. In the Bagavad Gita Krishna drives the chariot with five horses. These are the fives senses that we have to control. The Kalki Avatar rides upon the mind itself. Not only  the five senses are controlled but the mind itself is focused, self-pointed and governed by the Self. When the mind is controlled, the pure love will awake and the Lord will reveal Himself in the Heart of Mankind."

You can always think of God, cause everything is God

Sri Swami Vishwananda: You can always think of God.
If we love God that way, then we will be detached, also, from whatever is attaching us to this world.
We will be detached from whatever is stopping us from our advancement.
We want Self-Realisation, we want God-Realisation, yet we don’t want to let go of everything.
That doesn’t mean that you should renounce everything and become sannyas, no, but be in the world and know that everything comes from Him.
Everything is Him.
It’s only Him who gives and everything will go back to Him.

Listen to the beautiful song Perfect Love by Hillsong United. Nice lyrics and cool sound :-) Have a nice day all of you! God is always there for you...

In the relationship to God, you forget yourself completely

Kabir (Poet and Saint) & Krishnaji

Sri Swami Vishwananda: So you see, in the relationship to the Divine you forget about yourself completely.
You forget about your own Realisation, you forget about what will make you happy. Like it is said in the Bible: The greatest happiness is when you can give your life for your friend, isn’t it?
True relationship is when one can give oneself completely and when you are in Love you always forget about yourself.
Look, everybody has been in Love.
Do you think of yourself, when you are in love or do you think of the other person? So, the soul can always be in Love with the Divine, no?

How Radharani healed Krishna from His headache

Sri Swami Vishwananda: One day Krishna pretended to have a terrible headache and He was screaming “Ah, I have terrible pain.”
Everybody was shocked, you know, and said “Oh, my Lord, what can we do for you?”
All those who had said they would do anything, said “Lord, we will do anything for you; tell us.”
Even Narad Muni came, who sings always, “Narayan, Narayan” saying “I will do anything, my Lord, to cure your headache”.
Krishna looked at them all and said “OK, fine.
To cure my headache I need the dust off your feet; I need that you press my head with your feet.”
They all got shocked.
He, the Lord of Universe, is asking that His head be pressed by their feet.
None of them considered themselves worthy for that.
They were very scared, you know, that to press God’s head with their feet is
so disrespectful, first, and secondly, for sure they would go to hell for doing it.

Srimati Radharanis Lotus Feet

So everybody was a bit aghast.
Everybody was discussing, talking with each other how would they do that.
At that moment Radha came and she saw Krishna in such a state, you know.
So, she went to Krishna and said to Him “My Lord, tell me”, and Krishna said
the same thing that He had said to the Gopis.
Then, when she heard what she had to do, without thinking, without considering about
herself, she said “Yes.”
There was Krishna lying in pain.
She started pressing the head of Krishna with her foot and everybody was shocked. At that moment Krishna’s headache was gone.
Everybody was shocked, you know.
They came to Radha and were very angry with Radha and started cursing Radha, saying “Oh, you are so bad, you are mean.
How come you have put your feet on the head of our Lord?
Then for sure you will go to hell.”
Radharani said to them “Well, even the deepest hell will be a blessing for me, for it has cured my Lord’s pain.”
