In Sydney during the past week we have had two atrocious outbreaks of criminal violence leading to deaths and injuries, leaving our city, country and all those who love Australia reeling. We think of ourselves as a land of peace. Random violent events can be very challenging to our sense of who we are as a nation. And it is not only happening here. This year Google tells me that there have been 49 mass shootings and over 5,000 people killed by gun violence in the USA in the first 3.5 months of 2024. Then there are the thousands of people being killed in Ukraine, Gaza and God only knows how man ..read more

When it comes to consciousness, it is Divinely intelligent and beyond our understanding. As a general rule, anything that happens which supports what we believe will be seen by us, and anything that doesn’t will waft away from us. Even our brain plays a role in this, sorting stimulus from our day into conscious and subconscious piles so we are not overwhelmed with the vastness of it all. This is then further added to in our clever modern era by news feeds that are set up based on algorithms of what we might be most interested in reading. The rest we never even see. Shiva and I often have a lau ..read more

Nivedanam means that we fully surrender ourselves to the Divine. This is an advanced state of consciousness, one that we can strive towards. Sometimes that dance is one step forward and two steps back, as the ego re-asserts itself. The core of this bhakti practice is to offer yourself and everything you are, have and be to the Divine. We don’t hold back. We don’t say: “well God you can have this and this and this but not this…” It’s easier said than done. So difficult can surrender be in practice that the best way to achieve it is to practice some of the other limbs of Bhakti yoga at the same ..read more

Sakhayam means considering the Divine to be our closest, most intimate friend. How could this be when the Divine is so vast and invisible to boot? Some can cultivate this state through the philosophy of Advaita, a philosophy which says we are no different from the Divine. Through Bhakti this concept is celebrated and enlivened. Usually Sakhayam will involve awareness of the Divine as a form that one can relate to. In Christianity this is Jesus. For others it is Krishna, or Durga and so on. This form might be on your altar as a deity but might also be by your bedside so you can say goodnight; o ..read more
