The Spiritual Significance of 'Sermon on the Mount' mong the teachings of Jesus Christ, the Sermon on the Mount has been one of the most widely quoted elements of the Canonical Gospels.

Commentaries on this collection of teachings which appear in the Gospel of Matthew are galore. |

Go now, NOW!” So, I rush down and as I’m going past the accommodation office, a man is coming out with my ticket and passport in his hand. And he’d found it. He tried to return it but because I wasn’t registered, they didn’t know who to give it to. |

Bewitched by His Love ( Part 3) Growing up with Swami, the one thing that I felt is that the best way you can serve Him is to follow His teachings. And His teachings are many. And now, all of us cannot follow all of them. So I chose to pick a couple of teachings and live them fully. Swami did tell us that you should always have a big heart. I feel you have to open your heart to people. So, the lessons that I’ve learned, is to try to help others as much as I can and not hurt. |

Bewitched by His Love ( Part 2) Whatever it was that Swami asked us to do, we quite implicitly obeyed Him; we didn’t question. Like the first time we came to Puttaparthi and He asked us to stay, we just stayed. It happened on another occasion too. |

Study Circle 6 (Part 1 & 2) Here I’m reminded of what Bhagawan says: “I separated Myself from Myself to love Myself.” Love is the cosmic glue that manifests during this great act of separation which ensures the ultimate union.

Study Circle - 05, Part 02 Now, let us move to the second sub-theme which is about quality and quantity. Many times in life, we get so obsessed with numbers and think 'I have to achieve so many things' - 'I have to achieve this goal', 'I have to achieve these numbers', 'I have to produce so many items' and so on. And in that process, we just forsake quality. So how do we really strike this balance? Amey, what do you think of this? More >> |

Why We Are What We Are
“God you think, God you are; dust you think, dust you are” said Lord Jesus. The entire Universe according to Bhagawan Baba is reaction, reflection and resound. Swami gives us the example of the little boy who told his mother that there was someone hiding in the hills, who scolded him everyday. |

California Bal Vikas Children Ask Questions During the interaction session, the children asked many questions like “Why is there violence in the world today?”, “How to see the Atma in all?”, “How to feel Swami's Presence in the current times?” and so on.

And so there they are, all seated in the examination hall and waiting. The bell rings and the question papers are handed out. The students stare at the questions, but their revered teacher is not there to help them with the answers. More >> |
