Monthly Sadhana
January ’22 Message and Sadhana
A Blessed New Year to All our friends and fellow seekers.
May our inspiration grow and expand each day through our devoted daily Sadhana and the study of the scriptures as delineated by our Gurus. May this lead us to open our hearts and minds and to fully expand our consciousness and embrace the entire Universe and All life.
May we be blessed to see and experience everyone as an expansion of our own little self into The essential Divine Self we truly are.
There is a saying that those who have a “mouse' heart”, a “rat’s mind ” and only limit themselves to “my child, my family, my possessions, my wealth, etc.”, those individuals only hurt and bring ruin onto themselves and all those they are attached to. Through their own ignorance and limitations they miss the very purpose that God and the Universe provided to them in this human birth the opportunity to attain to the Highest evolutionary ladder possible as humans beings, that’s towards attaining Self Realization, Nirvana, Enlightenment.
So starting Here and Now let us All Expand - Expand - Expand
Live a Divine, truly religious Life.
"When you are filled with despair and the whole world appears to hurl insults upon you, walk quietly into the shelter of dhyana. The solution will emerge instantly."
Swami Yogiraj Nanak

Guru Poornima Sadhana
Guru Purnima, the most auspicious day of the year, is celebrated this month on July 24th. It is a time when we connect with and celebrate the Guru, otherwise known as or Spiritual teacher. In honor of this Guru Purnima month, we share a special recording and practice as recited by our Beloved Gurudev Swami Yogiraj from a 2005 New Year Blessing, a transmission by Guruji, conducting a Nad Affirmation Meditation.
https://soundcloud.com/yogavani-mission/new-year-meditation-05
Please note that this program is in Hindi.
*Please note instructions below:
Swamiji’s responsive Chanting begins at 2 minutes, following His brief description suggesting everyone relax the body and mind.
The most important point He makes is to tune ones emotions and invoke from one’s consciousness the meaning of these led invocations. To bathe in the deep love and devotion which flows from this practice.
He concludes this at 13:30 minutes
Before Swamiji concludes, He reminds devotees to experience the transformation of the entire body and mind. To feel the permeating, resonating Shakti and the Light (Prakash) flowing from these chants. Further he points to All the pores in body and neurons in brain tingling with Shakti and Prakash.
Suggestion: Do this Daily, Memorize fully both, the Mantras and their Translations, as Swamiji leads in this Special recording.
Yes, we are very Blessed indeed!

PREVIOUS SADHANA PRACTICE
A simple practice for our overall well being and connection to the Divine.
This mantra given by our Guru, will help us navigate these challenging times and make a deep connection within.
“Om Sarvatmane Namaha”, a universal mantra
Swamiji Yogiraj Nanak introduced.
Translated from Sanskrit means:
“I honor, bow, to All the inhabitants of this Universe. We are All One.”
This includes humans and All the living beings inhabiting this Terra Firma.
By repeating this Mantra we connect with each other and the Universal Shakti or consciousness.
How to prepare to chant this mantra?
Step #1- Inhale and Exhale slowly and deeply, at least 10 times.
Deep breathing will help us calm down
Step #2 - Remain silent for few minutes and observe the effects of deep breathing.
Step# 3 - Repeat this mantra vocally, musically, slowly, deeply and rhythmically.
Feel the vibrations of the sound current, nada, and it’s affect on feelings, thoughts and inner soul connection, changing, purifying, and transforming.
“Om Sarvatmane Namaha”
(suggestion: 54 times with a pause after each 9 recitations).
Do not rush through it.
Step #4 Chant with love and devotion. Experience the deep meaning of this mantra, feel its vibrations resonating around your Aura body.
Note: Those who have a personal Guru mantra should begin this practice by silently repeating their individual mantra. Connecting through Mantra will help heal, give us solace and help spread peace and harmony far and wide, connecting us with “that Eternal Peace that Surpasseth all understanding.”
Om Shantih, Shantih, Shantih
