The wise ones have realised a fundamental truth many years ago– in reality what interest can you possibly have to want to dominate others when you are deeply immersed into a state of deep peace and at one with yourself? A human being, who has attained this state of deep harmony, feels no interest in dominating the others in no matter what way, because he/she knows that when we multiply the number of human beings who we dominate, we also multiply the problems that will appear inevitably through this action. Therefore renouncing the position of exercising the tyrannical force upon the others is beneficial to us. Beyond this, we show an attitude of beneficial force when we aim to transform ourselves or to attain an excellent control upon ourselves.

Love is one of the fundamental realities of God. By discovering love, we discover the existence of God. Love is Its essential "substance". The infinite energy of love comes from God and creates everything that is good, divine, harmonious, true, ecstatic. All the wonderful manifestations contain in themselves the mysterious and deeply unifying energy of love. When love is in all of us, then we are all in God. The ineffable energy of love is the endless and all-powerful source of harmonious life that manifests as happiness, joy, compassion, goodness and ecstasy. Everything that is good, beautiful and true exists through the mysterious energy of love. And nothing that is truly sublime can exist and maintain itself without the energy of love.

Unjustly underestimated or simply forgotten, kindness is and will always be the secret light of the soul which unites people through the agency of goodwill and guides them towards inner harmony and happiness.

When it is seen from the point of view of the occult law of resonance, kindness is revealed to us as being a state which shows subtle mysterious processes of resonance with the focus centres of the energy of good and harmony, that exists in the Macrocosm. Beyond all these, nowadays, kindness is seen as a weakness, especially by the materialistic, selfish, sceptical or malicious people. However, being most of the time kind is and will always be one of the most powerful and efficient modalities of interacting in a beneficial way between people. Even though kindness is part of the 7 years of upbringing and childhood education, and it is a basic necessity of our society and even of religious culture, most of us refer to kindness with indifference.

Paramahansa Yogananda - About Prayer

 “When you pray to God, do it from the bottom of your soul. Tell what you truly feel and not what you think He would like you to feel. Be completely sincere towards Him, because there is no way you can hide your inner feelings from Him. An intense prayer gives you a very strong mental force. Your thoughts will then be focused and centred upon Him. Without honesty, this won’t happen. If you don’t feel any state of devotion, pray to Him like this: “God, help me love You.”

He is for you exactly what you really need and He will do for you much more than you can ever imagine.

More than anything, search Him for Himself, for His love. Ask Him: “Father, reveal Yourself to me!” If you ask Him to come to you in such a sincere way, He will certainly be always there for you.

He had an amazing life. He was born in Germany, lived in Spain, studied in England; he was a researcher at the Cambridge University. From the suicide obsession, depression and anxiety he reached spiritual illumination. There came a time where he was deprived of social relationships, he became homeless and jobless. He was serene to give up everything. He lived for two years homeless, in the street. He would sleep at nights on the bench in the parks, he would spend his days in greatest bliss. People wanted to know how he has reached complete peace. This is how Eckhart Tolle became one of the most known spiritual teachers, carrying his message worldwide. He is a prophet of nowadays. His knowledge has the power of the truth, the power of now.

In India, Mahashivaratri, the spiritual night of Shiva, is traditionally consecrated to Paramashiva (the Supreme Shiva). Shiva's devotees unanimously consider it as being the most sacred night of the year.

The night of Mahashivaratri is the night before the day of the New Moon in February - March (according to the Indian astrological system – the lunar month, PHALGUNA). The yogis welcome this grandiose celebration as an exceptional spiritual opportunity. For this reason, they fast during the entire day and they stay awake for the entire night, meditating intensely using the MANTRAS of SHIVA (LAYA YOGA). The non initiates meditate simply by repeating Shiva's name continuously, with transfiguration, or by piously chanting songs of adoration to Shiva, or by adoring the famous symbol, the Shiva Lingam, aspiring with all their hearts towards PARAMASHIVA, THE HOLY FATHER.
