God is ever looking after you

Jesus and His children

Sri Swami Vishwananda: In the Bible, Christ said: If the Lord is giving the birds
their food, is giving the ants their shelter, in His eyes don’t you need more?
God is ever looking after everybody.
You have just to trust that He is looking after you, to trust that He is with you
all the time.

Nice video: Interview with God

You can't live without breathing

Sri Swami Vishwananda: I will give you one simple way of calming the mind, which is
through the breath–the gift of life.
You can go on, you can live without food, you can live without drinking, but you can’t live without breathing.
That’s what Christ said: Give us our daily bread- the bread of life, which is the Pranashakti.

Christ was not only strict and severe

Sri Swami Vishwananda: Last week, no, actually, a few days ago I was in Israel.
I was there trying to feel how Christ felt.
Of course, you may read how the Church preaches about a Christ who is strict and severe, where you always have to be really like this and unhappy, but actually it was completely different.

More about Christ is written in this wonderful book Just Love

Listen to the beautfiul song Nada te turbe which we also sing very often in our Chapel.

Look at the life of Jesus

Sri Swami Vishwananda: Look at the life of Jesus; it is so beautiful.
He taught mankind how to transcend the ego into the Divine Self.
When you go deeper into the mystery of it, you will see that Krishna has taught the same.
He has shown it to mankind.
We also have to continuously remind ourselves that we are the children of God.
Whenever we have a problem we identify ourselves with the problem and say: "Oh, God has turned his back on us."
We don't realize that we have turned our back on ourselves.
If we look deeper within by turning our gaze inwardly, we would find the solution for every problem.
Everything that you want to know, it's just there.

Very touching song: Jesus remember me. 
This is a song that we also sing very often in our lovely Chapel.

Christ was Love and Joy

Sri Swami Vishwananda: Actually, Christ was Love, you know, and this form of Christ we
don’t picture in Christianity anymore.
When you look at an icon or look at a statue of Christ, you know, they look so miserable, but Christ was joy.
That’s how people follow His message of Love.
Once I asked Him whether He was dancing, also.
He said “Of course, I was dancing.”

More about Christ can be read in Sri Swami Vishwananda's book Just Love

Christ wants you to realise your true identity

To all the readers of this blog, i wish you a very happy Easter! May Christ resurrect inside of you! We are continuing now with our Easter celebration in the Chapel... Much Love to all of you!
Sri Swami Vishwananda: Christ said: Call upon me to become the sons of God and the daughters of God and to realise your true identity.
And when you have realised your true identity of being the child [of God], the Spirit will flow inside each part of your veins and each part of your arteries will radiate the Divine Light, this Cosmic Light.
You will see each atom as being the same light.

Listen to the very nice song Christ, Jesus Christ sung by some Devotees of Sri Swami Vishwananda

Have faith like a child

Sri Swami Vishwananda: As Christ said to His disciples: What I am doing, you all can do much more, you just have to believe it, and if you believe without doubt, it will happen.
You need faith like a child, because when you look at a child, a child doesn’t ask questions.
It’s true! You go to a child and you say, “Listen my dear, that boy is your brother”.
The child will not say “Yes, mother” or “No, mother” or “Why it is like that?”
No, he will just accept it, because the mother has said “Yes, this child is your brother”, because she knows it!
This confidence in the mother, you know, is there!
And that self-confidence you should have.

How the Divine Mother sees

Sri Swami Vishwananda about the Divine Mother and how She not only protects and helps us, but always watches over Her children. Like Mary did for Jesus or Yashoda for Krishnaji.

Sri Swami Vishwananda: For Yashoda to have Krishna, even if He was not born from Her, She had done a lot of penance, so that the Lord can incarnate inside of Her.

For sure that aspect (Sri Swami Vishwananda was previously talking about Mother Mary) of the Divine Mother also, in previous lives has done lots of penance, so that Christ Himself is born inside of Her.
It’s of no use if I will tell you that She was compassionate or loving, all this stuff, because She was, She is still, when all of you know about that.
But what else can I say?
Well, a lot I can say about Her.
I had the chance to see Her (smiling), several times actually.
So, really, if Mothers would be like Her, the world would change.
No, because She really sees everybody as Her child.
This is how the Universal Mothers see.
Human Mothers see only our possession, 'our child is ours', but the Mother feeling inside sees everybody as a child.
And that’s how the Universal Mother sees, you know?
She sees everybody as Her own.
So that’s why She cares for everybody.

Listen here to a wonderful tamil composition by Oothukkadu Venkata Subbaier. "Sri Krishna- Thaye Yashoda by Yesudas"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeOyT3ufjRI
This song describes the mischief of young Lord Krishna, as the gopis describe to hHs mother Yashoda.
The young Krishna who is the Supreme Lord, is also the darling of the gopis and pet of the masses of brindhavan gokulam.
The vrajpuri, The gopis together say: Oh Mother Yashoda, listen to the antics of your Gopalakrishnan who created the Universe with his Maya (illusion).

Blessed are the poor in the Spirit...

Today Sri Swami Vishwananda gives answer to a question of a Devotee who wanted to know if we need to be ignorant to reach the Kingdom of God.


Sri Swami Vishwananda: Jai Gurudev!

I was asked a question, a few days ago actually. Somebody asked me “Swamiji, you always say, also Christ said it, ‘Blessed are the poor in the Spirit, for they shall inherit God’”.

The person said to me “Shall we be ignorant?”.

Well it’s not what I said.

You see: Blessed are the poor in the mind.

Christ actually didn’t mean that you have to be completely ignorant to realize God.

What He means is: One has to have knowledge about God, because if you are ignorant you will not know anything.

But very often [because of] knowledge arises pride and we get so much attached to our knowledge, that even the reality gets covered. And when you are in ignorance, of course it’s not good.


Actually, it’s good that both are in balance, but at the same time- if you want to realize God fully, you have to put aside both of them.

Knowledge is in the mind and if you want to understand the Divine with the mind it’s futile.

You will never be able to understand. We want to grasp something, which is impossible to grasp, which is not physical.

But our mind understands, even our heart understands only what is physical, what we can grab and handle.

An apparition of little Jesus and the joy of having a Mother

During Christmas time Sri Swami Vishwananda shared with his Devotees the experience of having an apparation of Little Jesus.
Sri Swami Vishwananda: Do you have any questions? You can ask. Just let us discuss something together.
Nobody has anything to discuss? Oh Triambhakeshwari, discuss something.
Discussion, eh? (Triambhakeshwari: No) Not a question.
Triambhakeshwari: Discussion is good. Actually I wanted to ask you, if you would
like to tell us something about Mother Mary, about Her life…
Sri Swami Vishwananda: I am not talking about Mother Mary. I am talking about a discussion. You have to discuss. (laughter) You lift your hand, discuss. (laughter) Go on. Tell us a little bit of Mother Mary.
Triambhakeshwari: Me?
Sri Swami Vishwananda: Yes. (laughter)
Triambhakeshwari: So I think She was compassionate, She was very pure. She loves
God very much. And I think She wanted to have a Divine Child.
Sri Swami Vishwananda: No, She didn’t want that. It just happened. (laughter)
(laughing)
Triambhakeshwari: Maybe on a higher level She wanted, She wished.
Sri Swami Vishwananda: No, She didn’t wish it also. (laughing) Pritala? [Swami
Vishwavijayananda] (Swami Vishwavijayananda: Oui?) Where are you? (smiling)
(laughter) Do you remember? I had an apparition of little Jesus. He was talking about His Mother. It was a few years back actually, when I saw baby Jesus. Well, not baby like in a cradle (smiling), child (laughing). And He was very enthusiastic to talk about Mother Mary. Actually He talked a lot about Her, but I can’t remember everything right now. Pritala has the writings, because as Jesus was talking, I was writing it also. There, He was expressing the joy of having a Mother. He was expressing how He created Her, so that She created Him.

Have you changed?

Sri Swami Vishwananda was asking us an important question during the Satsang on the 23rd December. The question if we have really changed since we came on the spiritual path.

Sri Swami Vishwananda:

Christmas is back- have we changed? Every year we celebrate Christmas, we celebrate the nativity of the One, the Savior, who had been born to help humanity, the great Master, who had come to give an example to humanity. But let's ask ourselves: Have we changed? What has changed in our lives? One person will say “Yes I changed my life. I have become spiritual.” You know the word very much in the world outside. It’s good, but to be spiritual is not just a title. It’s not just a sticker that we put on ourselves “We are spiritual” or we show outside that we are very spiritual. But what has this done to you? To be spiritual?
What have you changed? Every year at this time, everybody tries to do good, no?
When Christmas is approaching, everybody wants to be good, preparing for the birth of Christ. But Christ is born every day in the heart of men. We have to see that. And we have to change ourselves. We should not expect others to change us, but we have to change ourselves. That’s what I always say: Self-discipline.

Why do we come together?

On the evening of the 23rd December 2009 Sri Swami Vishwananda decided spontaneously to give a Satsang and invited all his disciples to the temple. There he spoke the following words about why we actually come together, what the meaning of a Satsang is and why it can help us on our spiritual path.


Sri Swami Vishwananda: Jai Gurudev! (audience: Jai Gurudev!)
It was just a quick decision of doing a Satsang, because today I didn’t spend
much time with the people here. So you didn’t see me much. That gives a chance to be all together.
That’s what the word Satsang means, no?: “To come together”. But to come
together for what? Very often people come together to gossip, no? This is the
favorite topic of people. Whenever there is something to gossip, they like to be together. But the people, who are on the spiritual path like to be together also to praise God, no?
So like that there are different ways where people try to come together to be heard, to discuss, to share and that what makes us strong, that’s what makes one strong in oneself- the coming together. Of course one can practice one’s spiritual path alone, which is also strong. But when you come together, the energy is completely different. It’s like everybody has one goal and everybody is vibrating the same frequency. It’s much stronger.
So, that’s what the word Satsang means. To come together, to unite with one energy, one goal, where everybody is up to. We are not coming together to see how beautiful this one is dressed, we are not coming together to look how beautiful is my voice or how beautiful is somebody else’s voice. We are not coming together to make ourselves interesting. But we come together, so that we can build up our foundation in ourselves, we can build up our strength towards God-realization or Self-realization. But it’s sad to see that nowadays when people come together; it’s mostly to talk about other people, to gossip about what the other person has been doing. (smiling) But what the person has done is not your business; it’s the person’s business. (smiling) Mind your own business; but that’s what
people don’t do nowadays. They don’t look at themselves, but they do look at others, forgetting what Christ has said: “The fault that you see in other people, the judgment you put on to others, is your own judgment towards yourself”.

If you want to change, change now

Words spoken by Sri Swami Vishwananda during the Christmas- Satsang on the 25th December 2008.


Sri Swami Vishwananda: What do you understand by Christmas?

Someone: Love.
Someone: Sharing.
Someone: Learn to open the heart.


Sri Swami Vishwananda: No, don’t learn! Open it! (audience laughing)

You see, this is a thing in spirituality, that spiritual people always think “I will learn to open the heart, I will learn to do this, I will learn to be positive, I will stop smoking, I want to stop smoking, I want to stop this, I want to stop that.”

It’s not about wanting, it’s about doing. If one will always say “I will open my heart", they can wait for years and years to open the heart (audience laughing). Every year for Christmas they will say “I want to change” or when the New Year comes they will say “This year, I will change”.
How many among you have done that?
Someone: Lot’s of them.

Sri Swami Vishwananda: (Laughing) It’s not about “I will change”, but now I’m changing.

It’s all about this year I will change. I don’t know when- The year is full, 365 day, 12 months. You don’t know when you will change, but now you can change. So, this is how we have to understand it, you know? If you want to change, change now. If you want to stop smoking, stop it now. If you want to stop eating meat, stop it now.

Here you can listen to another very sweet Song with the Title "Mary did you know"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfpK6cNPF7Y

We also sang this song with Dharmananda on our Christmas Concert on Tuesday in a different style but with the same inspiring text. Hopefully we will sing this song dedicated to our Beloved Lord Jesus more often and also tonight during the Darshan? :-)
"Mary, did you know that your baby boy would one day walk one water?"
We don't know is She knew, but we know it know and thus can worship our great Lord. Have a a wonderful second Christmas day and enjoy this special time of the year!

Don’t say you will gradually stop. It doesn’t happen.

Christ is continously born inside of you

Here is another excerpt from Sri Swami Vishwananda's Christmas speech on 25th December 2008

Sri Swami Vishwananda:

So…For me, with the years you understand the deeper meaning of Christmas, you know? It’s not just a festival that you go to Churches just to… they all like to go to the Churches for midnight mass or I have been to Bhajans singing. It’s not about that, you know? It’s true that Christ has been born probably some 2000 years plus. It’s about celebrating. Because He brought something new to the world, which is forgiveness, Love. Many Avatars have come.

They all have brought Love, but the Love was not really forgiving. Many Saints have come, prophets have come, but the Love was just “Yes, I love you”, but there was always a condition to the Love. And also if you did something wrong to them, you would get back what is wrong. But what He brought is this forgiveness.

That’s why in the prayer they keep reminding of the forgiveness of forgiving what you have done wrong, forgiveness of yourself actually.

You yourself forgive. It’s not about God forgiving you, but you yourself forgive yourself. And focus on the Love that you carry inside of you.

And Christ is born- Yes.

It’s nice outside to celebrate Him, but He is born inside each one of us.

And this rebirth is not only because of Christmas time.

He is born continuously in each cell of your body.

By the way we also sang the song on tuesday together with Dharmananda, after the concert with Anubhab.
It was a nice mixture between Christan Christmas songs and Indian Music and we really enjoyed to be part of this spontanous music experiment.
Afterwards some of the Residents and guests performed also a Cover version of the famous world hit "We are the world" by Michael Jackson and various other artists like Bruce Springesteen or Tina Turner.
Merry Christmas and lot's of Love to everyone!

How Sri Swami Vishwananda celebrated Christmas

Last year when we celebrated Christmas, Sri Swami Vishwananda gave a Satsang on December 25th. He talked about his childhood, colorful Christmas trees and the different ways of celebrating the fesitval of the Lord.

Sri Swami Vishwananda:
You see, when I grew up, celebrating Christmas was different from what you celebrate here.
I grew up in a Hindu family and always they would say that the Christians go to the Church for Midnight mass.

So this was Christmas. For me Christmas was different- firstly of course because it was this festival that everybody… You see what is nice on an island is that everybody celebrates everything. (laughter)

And everybody celebrates it differently. So, here it is always cold. You are always freezing. (laughter) Christmas has to have snow, but gracious God has not make it snow.(laughter)
I like it very much. (Audience laughing) So on the island it’s very warm. It’s even too warm.

And very often on Christmas, like I told, you all the Christian, not all of them, some of them go to churches, some of them are fully drunk (Audience laughing), but me, when I was small it was always because of the gifts.(Laughing) We will have the Christmas tree, we will have the same Christmas tree like you see here, very colourful, not like the german ones, where there is only gold and which are very dull.(Audience laughing)

Sorry,(Laughing) (Audience laughing), but it’s true I asked them to make a Christmas tree outside. When I look at the Christmas tree, it makes me more sad. (Audience laughing) And now look. How was the Christmas tree before? Boring, no?
You see- when I grew up, celebrating Christmas was different from what you celebrate here. I grew up in a Hindu family and always they will say that the Christian go to Church for Midnight mass.

Someone: Yes

Sri Swami Vishwananda: without light.

Someone: I was not here last year.

Sri Swami Vishwananda: Nein, nein, nein. Nicht last year, this year.(Someone laughing)With just yellow, whatever, gold colour. (Audience laughing)(SV laughing)Not nice, eh? (Laughing) So,it was always colourful. Christmas for us, on an island is very colourful, where everybody comes together, you know. Also the Non- Christian and everywhere it’s very busy, whether you go to the villagers or town it’s always busy and always things happening. Everybody is preparing for Christmas, because this time with Christmas and New Year is Holiday time. So everybody gets busy. This is how I grew up. Then later on, when I started on the spiritual path, which was when I was fourteen years old, no fifteen actually, it changed. On Christmas day we would sing Bhajans, we would pray on Christmas Eve till midnight and after that we would do the same as we did this morning, we will do abishekam and so on.
So this is how it is. That’s why I don’t like snow. (Laughing) (Audience laughing)

Do you really want to reach the kingdom of God?

During the Satsang in Lugnorre (Switzerland) on the 29th September 2009, Sri Swami Vishwananda was talking among other things about the Golden Age. A bit earlier in this Blog we already posted a Blog concerning the Golden Age or Kingdom of God, as a question arose from a participant of the Satsang, when the Golden Age will come. Mahahavtar Kriya Babaji also refers to the Golden Age in the book "Unity with the Divine" (http://www.kriyaompress.com/)
Read here what Sri Swami Vishwananda is saying about the attaining of the Golden Age:

Sri Swami Vishwananda:
Lift your hand, how many really want to attain this Golden Age? Sincerely, eh? If you want sincerely, you have to lift very high, yeah? (laughter)(Some people are lifting their hands) Wow. (laughter) That’s very good. (laughter) I am very impressed, actually.
Now to attain this Golden Age- How many among you are ready to give everything that you have? Everything, I mean everything, everything? Lift your hand, even higher than before. Yes everything. Sincerely. Even your life. (Devotee: Me) (Swami laughing) (laughter) (Devotee: It’s true, it’s true) I like this wish (laughing) (Devotee: Yeah, it’s true, it’s true. It’s true.) Hand up very high. Okay (laughter) That’s lovely. That’s sincerity. I love that.
But you see how it is: We hang so much on our fear. We we move from one fear to the other, constantly and thinking this is the reality.
We are afraid of losing. We are afraid of losing the husband, we are afraid of losing the wife, we are afraid of almost everything, you know? We are afraid of diseases, we are afraid of unemployment, we are afraid of financial, we are afraid of death, at the end we are still afraid of life and that’s the funny thing about. You are afraid of death, you are afraid of life and yet you know there is something greater, which is the Golden Age or the kingdom of God or self-realization or God-realization to be attained.

Listen here to a wonderful Jesus-Song by the Australian Band "Hillsong United". One of their most famous (and in my opinion one of the mostbeautiful songs- actually each song is amazing, lyrics and melody, atmosphere) This song is called "None but Jesus" and is about Our Bolved King Jesus, who crucified Himself for us, His children and who is always next to us, especially in the "dark hours" of our life. :-)

Israel Trip part 3 / Life is a pilgrimage

Today we provide you the third excerpt of Sri Swami Vishwananda's speech about his pilgrimage to Israel:

Sri Swami Vishwananda:
I remember in one of the churches we visited in Nazareth, there something was made with pieces of stones. I can’t remember the name of it, but it was very beautiful: Christ as the shepherd. On His shoulder there was a sheep. For sure you have seen the picture of the good shepherd? Which was very beautiful about that particular, let’s call it icon, was that He was not pictured as what we see in a long robe, but He was like with a short, well not really a short, but a piece of cloth wrapped and He was showing the strength. Then I was talking with the guide and the guide was explaining about it. I asked him “Do you know which representative is this image of Christ?” Of course he would say it’s the good shepherd. And actually the original picture of it was from Apollo, which was changed afterwards into Christ, but it doesn’t matter. It shows us that He lived normal, He lived with the people. He was laughing also, not always moody, not always thinking of the cross. (laughter) He had His mission and His mission is to spread universal love and to make people realize the kingdom of God. He always said “The kingdom of God is near”. But near where? Near there? (Pointing upwards) No, near here (Pointing to the heart).
If you shut the mind and be in your heart through love, you will see the kingdom of God inside of you.
And that’s what all these places remind oneself of: The love that God is giving constantly to human, but we have to know how to receive it. If you receive it with an open heart, it will grow always, but if you receive it with an open mind, it will have it’s limitation. So remind yourself constantly of opening that heart and finding the deity inside of you. We are all pilgrims. This life on earth is a pilgrimage; a pilgrimage which will end when you have found the Lord, when you have realized Him. And He has made it so easy and clear. It’s not far away, it’s just near. So: Shut the mind, put it off and open the tap of love inside your heart. Open it, let it flow and you will see how near the Divine is to you. I guess during this trip many have experienced great joy. Of course it awoke certain things, but it was lovely. Everything is good.

Israel Trip part 2 / Christ only taught us LOVE

Read here the second excerpts of Sri Swami Vishwananda's speech concerning his trip to Israel:

Sri Swami Vishwananda:

Sometimes we have to look outside to make us realize what is inside. And that’s how we human are functioning. Very often we forget about it what we hold inside of ourselves, until we are reminded of it. That’s why in the world there are so many pilgrimage places. But the pilgrimage place is not about the place itself, it’s about reminding yourself. The reminder that Christ has talked about, whatever He has taught about and He didn’t teach about any dogmas. All that He taught about was about love. And that’s the simplest thing that we forget about. We hang on- we have not to do this, we have not to do that, we have not to do this and that- so many. That we forget about what we have to do.
I remember once, when I was studying theology I said to the bishop: „All that you have taught was about dogmas, but there was not one single time when you have talked about the love of Christ, not a single time you have talked about how He really did live. We read about the Bible, we read that He was with His disciples and all this stuff, but He was also a very alive person.

Israel Trip part 1 / Remind yourself of what you have inside

Here is an excerpt of Sri Swami Vishwananda's Darshan in the City Hall Springen, after he returend from his pilgrimage to Israel:

Sri Swami Vishwananda: Jai Gurudev! Actually, what I will talk about is my trip to Israel, from where I just returned yesterday and which was very beautiful. We were how many people? 28 or 29? Probably 29- it depends on how you count it. You see: when we talk about Israel, everybody has a different view of it. Unless you experience it, it’s completely different from what you read about.
Let’s say you read the Bible, but when you are there, it’s completely different. It was a trip, where we experienced a lot of things that we have been reading about and know. You have heard about it since childhood for sure, but to be there is amazing. It’s the same when you read the life of Krishna and then, when you are in Brindavan, it’s completely different. You have do adapt yourself. It’s the same with Jerusalem, Bethlehem and around the lake of Galilee. These places were very special places- special because once Christ walked these places and they have been kept alive through the faith of people; special, because there is a connection that one feels, which is completely different from other places.
Of course how I experience it and how others experience is different and the funny thing is that during the trip I didn’t talk about how I felt. I let everybody talk and it was very beautiful to see how each person feels and how each person’s point of view is.
We are all talking about the same Christ, but everybody looks at in a different angle. Some will see in the right angle, some will see in the left angle, but it’s beautiful to see that experience. But the most amazing is if you can feel with your heart. It’s not what you see in the outside, but what you can see with the eyes of the heart. When you look at it with the eyes of the heart, you will realize that all these places are here. They are all present inside of you. You go to pilgrimage places to remind you of what you have inside.

Have Faith and don't doubt the power that you have inside

Sri Swami Vishwananda about the light and healing power within one Self:

Sri Swami Vishwananda: Whenever you read in any Holy books like the Bible and also the Bhagavad Gita, it is said that Lord Krishna or Lord Jesus went far away in a desert corner or on a high mountain to sit down and talk with God. However, each one of us can also go deep inside of ourselves and raise the vibration in our self, reach to the higher level, and open to the consciousness of God. Let the light flow through you; become the Self and realize it; and know that you are the Self, and that the Self is acting for you. And when the Self is acting for you, for sure everything will be perfect. There is no doubt of this with the power of trust you have in the mind.

Swami Vishwaparthananda (Jyotir) says: "Whenever a sick person comes to Swami Vishwananda for healing, he always tells them that he will pray for them. When a spontaneous healing occurs, he always points out that it is God's work. I have never heard him say that he healed anyone. According to Swami, there is no one who can call himself/herself a healer. I have heard him say of healers that they are only tools in the hands of the Divine." From around the world, Devotees of Sri Swami Vishwananda give testimony that numerous and varied healings have taken place in His presence.


Sri Swami Vishwananda continues:
When you have this power of trust, this willpower, then you can create in the mind what you really want! Imagine it. Make it a thought, and project this thought on whatever you want, and say by the power of word, “I want that!” See what happens! See what Jesus did when some people came and said, “This person is ill. Can you please heal him?” What did he answer? He didn’t say much. He just said, “Be healed!” The person did heal because in his consciousness, Jesus was always with the Divine, always with the Father. He didn’t have any doubt in his own word; he didn’t doubt himself. He didn’t say, “OK, let me heal.” With strong conviction, he said, “Be healed!” But it’s also true that the person has to have faith in Jesus.
