ABOUT BHAKTI MARGA

ABOUT PARAMAHAMSA SRI SWAMI VISHWANANDA

Paramahamsa Sri Swami Vishwananda is a fully realised spiritual Master, whose international mission, is known as 'Bhakti Marga', the path of devotion. He travels the world to encourage all people to recognise the universal Love that lies within each human being, and to awaken their innate ability to express that Love in their daily lives.

Effortlessly connecting principles of eastern spirituality with elements of western spiritual tradition, Paramahamsa Vishwananda reveals the underlying oneness of the Divine and inspires a unique experience of spirituality, regardless of culture, religion, gender or age.

The simple yet transformational spiritual practices he teaches are designed to help each individual move toward more peaceful and inspired life experiences. Accessing the wisdom of the heart, these practices help change the way you relate to yourself, others and the world around you.

Giving Darshans and Satsangs tirelessly as he travels throughout the year, Paramahamsa Vishwananda introduces simple but profound concepts in a very personal way, answering questions about love, life, death, healing, and faith.

Most recently, his commentaries on supplementary Vedic texts and on the Shreemad Bhagavad Gita, one of the most popular sacred Hindu scriptures in the world, help a worldwide audience gain a deeper understanding of the universal messages they contain, and make ancient wisdom accessible and applicable to contemporary life.

PREFACE

Many of us understand that we live in auspicious times. There is a shift of consciousness taking place and the world is undergoing a massive global awakening.

As romantic as that sounds, this is not an easy road to travel, and those who are caught in this rising wave may find it challenging and somewhat difficult to manage. All around us, seemingly stable careers are vanishing, long-time relationships are dissolving, health conditions are changing, and even the Earth seems to be changing Her patterns.

On the other hand, the Higher Divine Consciousness, or the Supersoul commonly called God or the Divine, is not only co-creating all these circumstances together with each soul, but is guiding each person, individually, back to their original Divine nature. Providing extra assistance, the Divine also sends help in the form of Masters who descend on Earth to support mankind in this potentially uncomfortable, but absolutely evolutionary, process.

No matter how far someone has already gone on their spiritual journey, the ultimate goal – Higher Consciousness, God Consciousness – can only be reached with the help of a living God-realised Master like Paramahamsa Sri Swami Vishwananda. The hidden power of a look, a gesture or a spoken word of a God-realised Master can never be underestimated, as it holds the key which unlocks the secret of the ultimate goal of existence.

That is why we have conceived this collection called Guruvakya Meditations. In this case, the term ‘Guruvakya’ refers to an insight spoken or written by Paramahamsa Sri Swami Vishwananda, and each book of this collection contains 108 sacred Guruvakyas that revolve around a particular theme.

These insights hold pure transcendental wisdom and, in order to dive deeply into each one and unlock its gifts, we recommend taking a few minutes to do the Guruvakya Meditation with it.

Our Guruvakya Meditation uses and redirects the power of the mind to develop and strengthen one’s inner connection with the Divine. In this way the human limited mind is easily transcended and one naturally rises into Divine Consciousness. With just a five-minute daily practice, this 3-step meditation can release the gift of each Guruvakya and open the heart to a new understanding.

This book in your hands, Giridhari: The Uplifter of Hearts, is the first book of this collection. It helps you discover who Giridhari is and how to engage in a loving relationship with Him towards the fulfilment of your life purpose. In fact, the whole series is about deepening your inner relationship with the Divine Source, whether known as Krishna, Christ, God, Divine Mother, the Guru or a spiritual Master.

NOTE FROM THE EDITORS

The way we use and highlight some words in this book may be a bit unfamiliar to you, so we thought we’d take a moment to explain them.

HUMAN LOVE VS. DIVINE LOVE

There is what we know as love, and then there is Divine Love. Divine Love is a reality that is far beyond what humans think of as love. Human love is based on emotions, bound by conditions, coloured by individual and collective beliefs, filled with expectations, and characterised by dramatic ups and downs. Despite its temporary nature, its limitations, and the lack of fulfilment that comes from such love, it seems that an important part of the human condition is a constant search for more of it. However, it’s not this love we are actually craving. We want more, deeper, and stronger experiences of love because we are actually striving for endless Love – a love that has no limits or conditions at all.

Divine Love is our own true nature, the ultimate goal of life, and the true essence which permeates and connects everything animate and inanimate. As Paramahamsa Vishwananda says, ‘Divine Love is eternal, ever-growing and there is nothing higher than this pure Love.’ For this reason, in this book you will see Love with a capital ‘L’ when Paramahamsa Vishwananda refers to Divine Love.

THE DIVINE NAME

In a similar way, we highlight the Name of God. The holy scriptures say that there is no difference between God and His Name and that the Name of God is even more powerful than His form. So, whenever we refer to the Name, since we are also referring to the idea and form of God Himself, we honour that by capitalising ‘Name’ too.
