Spiritual Guidance from the Great Master Hazur Baba Sawan Singh - Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast

"The goal is to catch and rise up on the Sound Current to our Eternal Home. The Saints have only one message to give and that they give in the manner that suits the times. Their message is: "Soul! Thou has forgotten thy Source. That Source is Sach Khand. The Sound Current within you is the way to it, and we guide you to That." (Hazur Baba Sawan Singh Ji)

Today, the wisdom of the Great Master Hazur Baba Sawan Singh covering several major subjects central to the spiritual journey of the soul back to God: prayer to, and faith in, the Supreme Being Radhaswami (The Lord of the Soul, also spelled Radhasoami); Each Soul is a Drop from the Ocean of God, a Soul-Drop from the Ocean of Love; A Discourse on the Spheres of Kal, the Demiurge, Ruler of the Lower Planes of Time, Samsara, Impermanence and Illusion, and the Means of Salvation, of the Liberation of the Soul Through the Word, also Known as the Logos, the Shabda, The Sound Current; Why Does Sant Mat Follow Vegetarian Ethics? The Fleshless Diet of Those Whose Goal is God-Consciousness, to... in Spirit... Rise above the Flesh, to Rise Above Body-Consciousness and Make Heavenly Ascents Upwards via the Third Eye Center; The Way of the Sound Current: Our Duty to Follow the Sound Current Back to Sach Khand During Meditation Practice (Surat Shabd Yoga); Hazur Baba Sawan Singh on Our Spiritual Mission During This Life to Find the Pearl of the Soul and the Soul's Natural Habitat: Sach Khand, the Sphere of the Soul, and Ascend Back to that Heavenly Spiritual Realm Again Through The Hymn of the Pearl, The Audible Life Stream, The Holy Stream of Sound, also called The Sound Current, the True Name or Naam of God. (राधास्वामी)

Other texts quoted during today's satsang podcast include: the Gnostic Parable known as the apocryphal Hymn of the Pearl, The Hymn of the Soul, embedded in The Acts of Saint Thomas in India, the 2023 edition of the Sant Mat Glossary, Rumi, Kirpal Singh, Baba Devi Sahab of Hathras and Moradabad, and a saying of Jesus from an unknown Coptic language gospel fragment discovered in Egypt: "Now therefore have faith in the love of My Father." (RadhaSwami)

A History of Vegetarianism and Veganism in the World Religions - Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast

 

A History of Vegetarianism and Veganism in the World Religions

A rarely discussed amazing history of vegetarianism and even veganism in the great world religions and philosophies:

Akhenaten the "Heretic" Egyptian Pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty, who ruled for 17 years;

Hebrew Bible, First Book of Moses: Genesis;

Yoga Shastra, a sutra or scripture of Jainism;

Bhagavad Gita of Krishna;

Srimad Bhagavatam;

The Laws of Manu, a kind of "Hindu Torah" or Book of Laws;

Pythagoras and the Pythagoreans;

Porphyry,  a 3rd century AD Neo-Platonist philosopher;

The Vegetarian Prayer of Thanksgiving in the Epilogue of Asclepius of the Corpus Hermeticum, and the same prayer again, as it also turns up in the Nag Hammadi Library of Egypt, the Gnostic Gospels;

Early Church “Heresy Hunters” that used to require meat-eating on Sundays as a way to discover who the veg Gnostics were in their midst;

Philo of Alexandria's description of veg meals at a Jewish Therapeutae monastic community in Alexandria perhaps related to the Essenes;

The Bahai Faith: Baha’u’llah, ‘Abdu’l-Baha, and Shoghi Effendi -- prophecies of a vegan future of humanity;

Vegetarianism in Islam: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), Rabia of Basra, Bawa Muhaiyaddeen and the Sufis;

John the Baptist, who ate locust bean (carob) flour, not locusts -- BEANS NOT BUGS;

and blessed are the textual variants: the Mystery of the Missing Veg Saying of Jesus found in Luke 21: 34 of the Evangelion Da-Mepharreshe --  the Old Syriac-Aramaic manuscript of the New Testament Gospels but is no longer present in Greek manuscripts.

Baba Somanath's Spiritual Commentary on the Mystic Sar Bachan Radhaswami Poetry of Swami Ji Maharaj - Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast

 

 

Baba Somanath's Spiritual Commentary on the Mystic Sar Bachan Radhaswami Poetry of Swami Ji Maharaj - Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast

"O Guru Sawan, work Your alchemy on

Your disciple Somanath.

Touching this iron with the philosopher’s stone,

transform it through and through into purest gold.

Going beyond the astral and causal realms,

I have become absorbed in Your holy lotus feet."

-- Hymn (Bhajan) of Baba Somanath

Hazur Baba Sawan Singhji was very pleased with Somanathji's seva and behavior and initiated him into the path of Surat Shabd Yoga in January 1928. He stayed at Beas for three and a half years, practicing Surat Shabd Yoga and achieved his cherished goal. In 1932, He sought the gracious permission of his Satguru to return to Mumbai. Sawan Singhji blessed him and commanded him to propagate the principles of Sant Mat in South India, where it was almost unknown.

When Hazur Sawan Singh instructed Baba Somanath to leave the Dera and return to South India to propagate the teaching of Sant Mat, He said: "Somanath, the body in which your soul dwells is highly suitable for spreading the teaching of Sant Mat in South India for you have both the understanding of the ways of the people of the South and with the Grace of the Masters have perfected the meditation after passing through every lower stage of the journey. Go and commence the work of Satsang."

Christopher McMahon: "I would like to mention here that it is entirely possible that there have been souls of the highest spiritual order in the Sant Mat tradition living in South India in the past, but they were simply not well-known and could even have come from a different lineage." (The Life of Baba Somanath Ji, Sant and Sage of South India)

"During the time of Swami Ji, the British were in control of the outer life of the Indian subcontinent. They avoided religious persecution and kept communal tensions at bay, and so the Sant Mat teachings could be presented in an open way, unlike in earlier times when Saints often cloaked their teachings in an esoteric language for the sake of avoiding confrontation with religious zealots of all persuasions. It is said,'Those who see God face to face shall all tell the same thing.' The differences come in only because of the means of approach in each case, the language of the time employed, the mode of expression then prevailing, and the intellectual level of the age. Again, these differences are not in essentials but only in non-essential details." (Kirpal Singh)

"O Protector of the lowly ones, most merciful Lord,

Self-Existent, Bestower of Light,

Somanath has contemplated upon Your lotus feet.

Unceasingly, he will sing Your praises.

You free all the jivas [captive souls] from the desires and

afflictions of this world."

-- Hymn (Bhajan) of Baba Somanath

Prioritizing Daily Spiritual Practice

 

Prioritizing Daily Spiritual Practice 

"Saints have adopted three methods to get our salvation, that is — Satsang, seva, and Bhajan Simran. So, we have to listen to Satsang lovingly every day. And make it a habit of listening to Satsang every day. And second is to do seva. Wherever we are, where there is a gathering of satsangis or there is any Satsang program, we should do physical work there. We should help by doing that physical work. But we should do so lovingly. And we should be particular that we do not carry any ill feelings about any fellow sevadar, or have any envy, or have any anger towards any other sevadar or any other person. We should do it lovingly and we should do it when we are doing our Simran. Or we should do it when we sing some bhajan of the Masters. But make sure that we do not have that ill feeling while doing that seva. If we do so lovingly, then seva is as good as Bhajan Simran. It is like a cash transaction. When we do seva, immediately, the burden of karmas gets redeemed — provided we do it lovingly and provided we do not have any ill feelings or we do not engage in slandering about others, or getting some envy or anger towards others.

"So, these are the three methods. One is to listen to Satsang every day. Second is, whenever possible, to do seva lovingly. And third is to do Bhajan Simran again every day. These three, if we do, then we get the pleasure of the Master and His hand of Grace comes upon our head and He showers His Grace and helps us, not only in our duties as householders, but also on our spiritual path. So, these are three things that we have to remember always. One is Satsang to be heard every day; second is seva to do whenever possible lovingly; and third, is to do Bhajan Simran every day." (excerpted from the satsang discourse, Till We Overcome Those Attachments And Entanglements Outside, The Soul Will Never Be Able To Withdraw And Go Inside, August 15th, 2022, by Baba Ram Singh)

There is Divine Light and Sound Within You, Within Everyone - Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast

 

There is Divine Light and Sound Within You, Within Everyone - Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast

The great Masters teach that the Sound of God is within everyone -- this Holy Stream of Sound is within every living thing. This is why those given to exploring Inner Space through a contemplative meditation practice, be they from the East or the West, have discovered this Reality playing within themselves.

This Sant Mat Satsang Podcast is a spiritual gathering, a satsang without walls, dedicated to exploring this ancient school of spirituality, the Path of the Masters, Mystics, Gnostics, and Saints, today focused upon the spiritual practices of inner seeing and hearing, finding the inner Light and Sound of God present within the soul. The form of meditation making it possible to access the mystic Light and Sound is freely taught and communicated via the guidance of a competent Living One, a Living Master who is fluent in the spiritual experience of not only transcendental seeing and hearing, but also of traversing Inner Space, the Kingdom of the Heavens within, the inner regions, heavens, realms of consciousness beyond the physical-material confines that hold captive the attention of most people. The Sufi mystic and philosopher Ibn Arabi once wrote in his Bezels of Wisdom: "He [the Supreme Being] brought the Cosmos into being as constituting an Unseen Realm and a Sensory Realm, so that we might perceive the Inner though our Unseen [facility] and the Outer through our sensory aspect." We are children of both worlds. We human beings are a Tree of Life with roots in the earth and branches rising into a Mystic Sky! "The planes of heaven are about us everywhere. One has only to know this simple truth consciously, and then we will be free." (George Arnsby Jones, disciple of Kirpal Singh)

"We are seekers after Truth and for that purpose we have joined various religions, which are our schools of thought. Truth is not the exclusive right of any particular creed, or place, or age. It is man's [humanity's] birthright. Just as everyone has the right to breathe the air, and absorb the rays of the sun, we are all privileged to draw from the Unseen Source of Life, Strength, and Wisdom, which is within each of us. That Infinite Supply cannot be exhausted. Anyone belonging to any religion can delve it out from within with the help of somebody who is competent -- call him by any name you like. Take all that you can. Not only will it suffice for you, but through it you will become instrumental in helping your fellows. Your smile will inspire another to smile. Your strength will impel another to be strong. A noble soul always draws forth the noble quality in others." (Kirpal Singh)

As with the Gnostic Universe, the cosmos and multiverse of the Surat Shabd Yoga Tradition of Inner Light and Sound Meditation has the lowest or outermost plane being the realm of matter and dark matter, followed by progressively more subtle and luminous astral and akashic or causal regions, also a Universal Mind or Demiurgical (pronounced "Demi-urge-ah-KAL") plane. Above these lower and middle regions of mind and matter are levels of pure spirit, eternal, above time and space, and these are considered to be the True Home or Paradise of the soul, where we prodigal souls came from before the beginning and, full-circle, where we will return to again, as we awaken from the soul-slumber of the ages. "We have come from the Light and will return there again." (Gospel of Thomas and Mandaean Ginza Rabba paraphrase) As Kabir once said, "For millions of years you have slept. This morning, will you not wake?"

Today, readings from the mystic divine love poetry of Bhai Nand Lal Ji, disciple of Guru Gobind Singh, The Acts of John (New Testament apocryphal writing), the Sikh scriptures (Adi Granth, Gurbani), Naam Or Word authored by Kirpal Singh, Baba Ram Singh from a January, 2023 collection of satsang discourses on Naam: Sant Mat Meditation of the Inner Light and the Sound Current, the Sufi poets Rumi and Shah Niaz, Ajahn Sumedho on "The Sound of Silence" (from the Buddhist world), also from Anmol Vachan, a rare book of Q and A by Sant Garib Das of the Radhasoami Faith (another spiritual successor of Swamiji Maharaj), Shiv Brat Lal's Radhaswami spiritual classic Light on Ananda Yoga, Kirpal Singh's Spiritual Elixir, and... the mystic poetry of Edmond Bordeaux Szekely.

Seven Steps to Heaven, The Way of the Mystics, Following a Living Spiritual Path - Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast

 

Seven Steps to Heaven, The Way of the Mystics, Following a Living Spiritual Path - Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast

"Blessed are the souls who in today's materialistic world have an inclination towards spirituality." (Swami SantSevi Ji Maharaj)

Today, A Spiritual Talk (Satsang Discourse) by Swami SantSevi Ji Maharaj at Maharshi Mehi Ashram, Kuppaghat, Bhagalpur, Bihar, India

The Seven Stages of Ascension to Heaven According to Swami SantSevi Ji and a Living Spiritual Path Called Sant Mat

1. Praise or Bhakti (singing praises: banis, bhajans, kirtans, odes, psalms, hymns);

2. Prayer (Communion With God -- Conversations With God);

3. Manas Jap (Simran, "Praying Without Ceasing", Mentally Repeating/Chanting the Name or Names of God -- Mantra -- the First Stage of Meditation);

4. Manas Dhyana (Visualizing the Form of the Master* -- the Second Stage of Meditation);

5. Dristi Sadhana (Seeing Inner Light at the Third Eye Center -- the Third Stage of Meditation);

(Soamiji Maharaj)

Initiation Into the Mysteries is Done by a Living Master (Sant Satguru) - Light and Sound on The Path

 

Initiation Into the Mysteries is Done by a Living Master (Sant Satguru)

From a book I'm currently working on having published, the Anmol Vachan of Sant Garib Das:

Question 6: Swamiji, why doesn't the Satguru initiate new souls after he leaves his physical body?

Answer: A Satguru who has left his physical body doesn't initiate new souls beyond the mortal world. His ship doesn't sail over the ocean of worldly existence anymore, as he has already crossed it. The threads of the initiated souls are with him beyond the ocean. When the time comes, he pulls those souls to him, like a kite.

Question: Swamiji, Guru Govind Singh advised to consider the scripture as the Guru. What is the significance of this in the Guru Granth Sahib, and what teachings are present in it?

Answer: When Guru Gobind Singh advised considering the scripture as the Guru, he meant that the Guru Granth Sahib holds the wisdom and teachings of the Gurus and saints. In the Guru Granth Sahib, there is guidance to seek direct realization and guidance from the living Guru rather than being confused by written teachings alone. The Guru Granth Sahib emphasizes the importance of devotion, selfless service, humility, and realization of the Divine. It teaches that the true Guru is the one who guides the seeker towards transcending the ocean of existence and attaining liberation.

The Living Master With A Godward Focus - Light and Sound on The Path (Sant Mat, Radhasoami)

 

 

The Living Master With A Godward Focus - Light and Sound on The Path (Sant Mat, Radhasoami)

Question: Dear Babaji, the Satsang, Darshan, and Prashad of the Masters reduce the burden of the karmas of the initiates of the living Master. So, how about the disciples of the Masters Who are no longer in the physical body?

Babaji (Baba Ram Singh): For those whose Master has left the body, they can sit with devotion and attend to Satsang and do their Bhajan Simran with the same dedication and love and affection for their Master and they will get the same effect — like any other initiate who is getting it from a living Master. So, when anyone goes to take Darshan of a Master, of a Saint, whether he has been initiated by that Saint or initiated by some other Saint Who is no longer in the body, the Saint gives the blessings to everyone equally. So, everyone benefits from the Satsang and Darshan and the Prashad given by a Master, irrespective of whether he is an initiate of that Master or he is an initiate of any other Master...

Guru guru mein bedh hai,

Guru guru mein bhaav,

Guru guru mein bedh hai,

Guru guru mein bhaav

Soyee guru nith bandiye,

Jo sabhadh bathave daav.

Kabir Sahib says, “There is a lot of difference between one guru and the other guru. So, you should search for a guru — a true Master — Who has the knowledge of the Shabd. And then, you follow His Teachings and go within.”

Even Somanath Baba Ji did pranayamas for fifteen years. And he had a lot of mystical powers as a result of his practice. But, there was no peace. And he looked for a true Master after that and he went about the Himalayas for nearly five to six years. And, eventually, he came to Beas where he met Sawan Singh Ji Maharaj and he got initiated by Him.

Where we have true devotion for God Almighty and we really aspire to meet Him, then God Almighty Himself creates the Path for such disciples to go and meet the true Masters.

Wherever they are people with such past impressions, God Almighty definitely creates a path for such people to meet a living Master. And Whoever are the living Masters during that time, They bring such disciples under Their fold.

So, this Path has been created by God Almighty and He sees such people with past impressions and He sends the Masters to fetch such people.

Kanfookha guru hadh ka,

Behadh ka guru aur,

Kanfookha guru hadh ka,

Behadh ka guru aur

Behad ka guru jab milai,

Tab lahai tikaana taur.

Kabir Sahib says, “There are so-called ‘gurus’. And these people just blow wind in the ear. And by blowing that wind, they say that you have got your salvation.” And that is it. That is their practice. They just do that and then they may give some mantra for repetition. But this is what these people think about salvation and getting free from this world. It is only people who have past impressions. It is only such people who go to a true Master. And there, they understand the Teachings of the true Master and then they follow the Path of that Master.

All the other disciplines — all the other gurus — are all within the realm of Kal. And all of those paths will only keep you within this realm of Kal. It is only the true Masters Who talk about going beyond the compound of Kal.

Then there are others who follow the gunas — that is, Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh — and they give the mantras or the teachings of these deities. And then, they say, “If you do their practice, then you will either go to heaven, or you will go to Vaikuntha, or Kailash where these deities are supposed to be.

So, it is only with God's Mercy and Grace that a person with past impressions is drawn to a true Master. And then he understands the Teachings of the true Master and he follows the Path.

-- Excerpted from two Satsang Discourses of Baba Ram Singh
