Always remembering Devi

Fine art in frugality: we should act in this world with thrift, not wasting its resources.

Vira Chandra

The great gurus reclaim us, no matter how very rotten or useless we may have become. They put through hard treatment and provide protection in the process

Vira Chandra

The practice and effort must be kept up so long as the sense of knower and knowledge persists - initial exalted states generally fade away.

Vira Chandra

Beautiful visions and sounds during the meditation - they are all mental conceptions. They come, and they would pass away. Be only the witness.

Vira Chandra

Obstacles are the greatest Guru: wherever you are stuck you learn. You learn by lesson

Vira Chandra

As an individual advances on the spiritual path he or she simply cannot commit sins such as theft or adultery

Vira Chandra

Firstly, we have to show our love and respect to people around us, and particularly, the members of the family - otherwise will never rise in spiritual light
