Notes 31 May

 Namachivayam Sunday Chivasangh – May 31, 2026


The Sunday Chivasangh was conducted in a serene and spiritually uplifting atmosphere amidst the beauty of nature, accompanied by the soothing sounds of birds. The session began with meditation by the Abhyasis, and the arrival of the Divine Master further deepened the tranquility and spiritual vibrations of the gathering.


Masterji centered his discourse on the nature of peace and disturbance. He posed a profound question: *Does peacefulness depend upon external circumstances, or does disturbance arise from one's own mental conception and reaction?* He explained that peace is not determined by the environment, objects, or the behavior of others. Rather, it depends on how the mind interprets and responds to situations. According to him, disturbances originate within when we allow external events to enter and influence the mind.


To illustrate this truth, Masterji referred to situations such as criticism or harsh words from a spouse, colleague, or superior. He emphasized that the real disturbance is self-created. Instead of saying, “I am being disturbed,” one should recognize, “I am disturbing myself.” External events merely provide the occasion; the disturbance arises from our own mental reaction.


He further explained this concept through the example of a snake. Although a snake may be potentially dangerous, it causes no disturbance until the mind reacts with fear, anxiety, or negative thoughts. Thus, the source of agitation lies not in the object itself, but in the interpretation and response of the mind.


Masterji also highlighted that both positive and negative tendencies exist within every individual. When one observes a situation without mental involvement or emotional reaction, one remains undisturbed. The eyes may perceive an object, but if the mind does not become attached to it, inner peace is preserved. He stated that a person established in complete positivity cannot be disturbed by external events, whereas negativity inevitably leads to agitation and suffering.


A central teaching of the session was the realization that one is neither the body nor the mind. Such understanding brings inner freedom, detachment, and lasting peace. Masterji stressed the importance of cultivating this wisdom and attitude in daily life, encouraging seekers not to react impulsively to circumstances.


Drawing inspiration from nature, he advised everyone to remain calm, silent, and unaffected by external disturbances. Like a true *Mouni*—one established in inner silence—one should cultivate equanimity, serenity, and unwavering peace. These qualities are beautifully embodied by Lord Shiva, revered as *Chandra Mouni*, the silent and tranquil Lord whose presence symbolizes perfect inner stillness.


The discourse concluded with the reminder that true peace is not found by changing the world around us, but by transforming our own mental responses. When the mind remains detached, silent, and positive, one naturally abides in the state of peace that is one's true nature.

Notes 12 Oct

 Namachivayam Sunday Satsang - Oct.12, 2025 The Sunday Satsang, held in the serene surroundings of Mouna Mantappa, began with devotional chanting and silence, setting a deeply spiritual tone. With the arrival of Masterji, the atmosphere became even more elevated. His discourse centered around the essence of *Adhyatmika* (spiritual living), emphasizing that spirituality is about experiencing the inner spirit and not merely adopting external practices. Masterji highlighted the importance of **faith and trust** among spiritual seekers. He explained that while the human mind carries **Nakarathmic (negative) vibes** like attachment and expectations, the **Spirit** itself is free from these qualities. **Positivity**, he said, is not something to be acquired but is the **absence of negativity**. When all negativity fades, what remains is a state of pure positivity, described as **“nothingness.”** On the subject of **love**, Masterji distinguished between **human love**, which is selective...

Notes 27 Apr

 Sunday Chivasangh - 27th Apr, 2025  Gurubhyo Nama ha  The satsang commenced with the devotional chants amidst the chirping of the birds and a bright sunny Sunday morning, at the Mouna Mantapa.  The Abhyasis were surprised to see the Master when the Panchakshari was about to commence. Masterji suggested chanting of Panchakshari alternatively by creating two groups of Abhyasis present. It was something innovative and appealing.  Masterji says, we have been born again to undergo sufferings and to fulfill our unfulfilled desires. He says one should be prepared to endure sufferings. Saints have the highest condition of endurance. He says negativity gets destroyed by sufferings and endurance. Masterji says we have to get transformed when we have attained the human body and born again to realise the Self. We need to enquire ourselves " Naanu Athman Aguvudhu Hege". He says in Spirituality, discipline is of prime importance. When one becomes "Chivam" he/she gets freedom...

Notes 15 feb

 Namachivayam Sunday Satsang (Feb 15, 2026)** The Sunday Satsang began with deep meditation at the Mouna Mantappa, and the physical presence of the revered Master after a brief absence intensified the atmosphere of peace and devotion. Masterji centered his discourse on Mukthi (liberation), emphasizing that it can be attained only through Adhyatmikathe (spiritual practice) and complete non-attachment. Attachment, he explained, arises from the mind and is the root cause of suffering. When the mind is silenced through sincere practice, purity emerges, leading to Anandha (bliss). Ultimately, when the mind becomes entirely free from even the slightest trace of attachment, one attains Nirvana. He stressed dissolving the sense of “Naanu” (I) and “Nanadhu” (Mine). By cultivating the attitude of “Idham Na Mama” (this is not mine), a seeker gradually transcends possessiveness and ego, realizing “Yavudhu Nanadhalla” (nothing is mine). True spiritual progress requires inner strength to remain ...
