Sri Kaleshwar Jayanti – A Day of Deep Gratitude

On this sacred Jayanti of Sri Kaleshwar, our hearts bow in gratitude. How profoundly blessed we all have been to receive his grace, his teachings, and his unwavering compassion.

Through his life and presence, Swami reminded us that the Divine is living, personal, and reachable, here and now. He showed us that love is not a concept, but a power; that service is not obligation, but joy; and that the highest wisdom flowers through humility, courage, and devotion.

Today we honor not only his birth, but the living stream of blessings that continues to guide, protect, and awaken us.

May we walk forward carrying his light in our actions, his truth in our words, and his love in our hearts.

With folded hands and full hearts, thank you, Swami, for everything.

May your blessings continue to uplift all beings. 🙏✨

A Vedic Teaching on Awakening of the Self

In the Vedic vision, awakening is not becoming something new—it is remembering who you already are.

The sages teach that within every being shines Ātman, the eternal Self—pure awareness, untouched by fear, desire, or time. Suffering arises not because this Self is absent, but because it is veiled by ignorance (avidyā). Awakening (bodha) is the lifting of that veil.

“You are not the body, not the mind, not the roles you play. You are the witness of them all.”

The Path of Awakening

Śravaṇa — Listening
Awakening begins by hearing truth: sacred teachings, wisdom from realized beings, and reminders that you are more than your conditioned identity.

Manana — Reflection
The mind gently inquires: Who am I beneath my thoughts? What remains when everything changes?This questioning loosens the grip of illusion.

Nididhyāsana — Direct Experience
Through meditation, silence, mantra, and self-observation, awareness turns inward. The seeker and the sought dissolve into stillness.

The Inner Shift

When awakening dawns, even briefly: you stop chasing fulfillment outside, compassion arises naturally, life is met with steadiness rather than reaction and devotion becomes effortless, not forced

The Vedas remind us: liberation is not elsewhere or later. It is available now, in the pause between breaths, in the silent witness behind every experience.

“Awaken not by striving to become divine, but by resting as the divine presence already within you.”

The New Year is not a turning of time, but a turning of attention. Energy flows where awareness rests.

Release what is complete without judgment. Invite what is true with clarity and trust.

Stand gently in this moment
aligned with your breath,
anchored in your heart,
open to the unseen grace already moving through you.

Begin not by effort,
but by presence.

May 2026 bring you joy, peace, love, radiant health, abundance, and God’s grace. 🙏✨💕

“If a man utters my name with love, I shall fulfill all his wishes and increase his devotion. If he sings earnestly, I shall give him endless joy. It is my special characteristic to free my devotees from difficulties.”

“When people pray together with one heart, the energy multiplies. Group prayer can change destiny.”
~ Sri Kaleshwar

Group prayer works because aligned hearts amplify energy.
When people pray together, intention becomes stronger, fear dissolves, and transformation becomes possible.

Unity opens doors that effort alone cannot.

May Love lead all seasons and we wish you peace and love always ~ Felton Baba Temple

Simple Teaching on Being Love 💕

When Jesus Christ walked the Earth, he did not ask people to prove love with grand gestures. He asked them to be love, quietly, consistently, and courageously.

The great masters across time taught the same truth: love is not something we give after conditions are met; love is who we are before anything happens.

During this season when we gather with our loved ones, love is not found in doing more it is found in being fully here. A gentle glance. A patient pause. A forgiving breath. These small moments carry the same power as the greatest teachings.

Love does not ask to be right.
Love does not rush.
Love recognizes itself in everyone it meets.

When we simply rest in love, we become the teaching.
And without saying a word, hearts remember.

May this holiday be less about effort… and more about essence. Less about roles… and more about real connection. May we remember that love was never meant to be earned only embodied.

Baba did not come to start a religion. He came to awaken the heart.

He honored all paths—Hindu, Muslim, Christian, or none—
and taught that love and faith matter more than labels.

To Baba, prayer was sincerity,
not language or ritual.

He reminded us:
When the heart is pure, every place becomes a temple.
When love is real, every name reaches God.

Baba belongs to all,
because love belongs to all.
