Always remembering Devi

The jnani’s mind is known only to the jnani. And even feeing peace in a jnani's presence depends on your maturity

Vira Chandra

Essence of Japa: it can lead you to the same goal as the 'Who am I?' enquiry. Japa means clinging to one single thought to the exclusion of all other thoughts.

Vira Chandra

Vira Chandra

Vira Chandra

Grace takes us to the Guru. Grace shows us the way home by guiding us in the right direction, but we still have to do the work ourselves.

Vira Chandra

Why is there so much suffering in the world and so few attain the vision of God and are liberated?
