Heart-based meditation nurtures the qualities of tenderness, softness, and love. Even reading or speaking these three gentle words melts our hearts. When love shines supreme in the meditative heart, whatever it touches is alchemized.

By remaining inwardly meditative and outwardly focused on our daily work and activities, our inner loving state transforms the very nature of what we do. Meditation is the key!

How to handle thoughts that arise during meditation?

The best practice is to treat thoughts like clouds passing through the sky. Do not entertain them, nor try to forcefully remove them. Simply let them pass, and if necessary, gently remind yourself that you are meditating.

Shri Ram Chandra of Fatehgarh (1873–1931), affectionately known as Lalaji, was a revered saint and spiritual teacher. Trained in Sufism and Raja Yoga, he revolutionized spirituality by modernizing ancient yogic practices. His most significant contribution was reviving the lost art of Transmission (Pranahuti), a method for transforming human consciousness.

Lalaji’s influence extended across philosophy, psychology, and natural sciences, though his full impact is yet to be recognized. He established the Sahaj Marg Raja Yoga tradition, mentoring his successor, Shri Ram Chandra of Shahjahanpur (Babuji), who further refined his teachings into the Heartfulness Way, making spirituality accessible to all.

This year we are celebrating the 152nd birth anniversary of Pujya Lalaji Maharaj as Adi Shakti Mahotsav. Let us all ourselves in the teachings and he left for us, embracing the path of inner transformation and spiritual evolution.

🌟 "Our passion should be: whatever is there is Thine!" – Ram Chandra (Lalaji)

When we release our ego and surrender completely, every action aligns naturally with the Divine will. 💫 This state of pure harmony is the ultimate gift, bestowed by grace and cultivated through inner dedication.

🙏 Let’s strive to let go of our own significance and embrace the flow of divinity within. True freedom lies in this surrender, where every moment becomes sacred and aligned with what we are meant to do.

✨Lets reflect on: What steps am I taking to surrender to the Divine and live with purpose?💭

✨ Reflect: What steps can I take today to release anger and find harmony within?
