Spiritual Practices Are A Must For All


There arises a question – are spiritual practices for all or only those who are inclined to spirituality?

The answer is: Spiritual Practices are for all, at the levels at which they can easily practise. Only spiritual practice help to protect ourselves from the fast paced life we live today and all its negative effects.

In today’s world there is tremendous competition and stress. Cut throat practices help most to survive and remain on top. These crippling practices shatter the body and mind. In the rat race of today’s world, those who win are losers and losers are already losers. Life revolves around possession, prestige, post, power, greed and glamour.  Caught in this vicious circle, there is no respite for man.  

Every person needs to evolve and grow. And this is possible only by spiritual practices. The spark of Divinity that is within us – our Consciousness – demands that we evolve and we grow. This is possible only when we are protected from negativity around us. Negative energies & forces around us negate and neutralize the creative energies within us which foster growth.

When we practise mantra japa, reading of sacred books – poothi parayana, regular visiting of temples, recitation of slokas, meditation, the higher chakras in our system are activated. Devotion purifies our emotions and mind and guides our thinking. When we submit ourselves to the will of God in love and gratitude our devotion increases and we are protected from the negativities and vagaries of life.  As our practices increase, and devotion blossoms & becomes pure, the third eye develops. Intuition and ability to see and understand the will of God and the grand plan of creation come by itself. Fear, anger, jealousy and other negativities within us fall off. We feel the invisible hand of God protecting us at all times.

The spiritual practices of the Siddha Mantra Japa – Sita Ram and other mantras and Meditation, and service to Guru are the easiest way to living a meaningful life. Our progress in material life and spiritual life goes on smoothly. We see the blessings of God and the hand of Guru protecting us at all times.
