Shiv Yog teaches that you must never submit yourself to the circumstances. You must always make your utmost efforts through sadhna to overcome all difficulties, irrespective of their degree of seriousness because no problem can be bigger than the power of Shiva. His name is all curing and omnipotent. While not bowing before diseases, roadblocks, unhealthy relationships and working to improve them is the way out, there is one thing which you must surrender to without applying too much logic and that is the Guru. The impure mind might want to question the Guru, the total surrender that he seeks and the uncontaminated teachings that he urges us to follow but the Siddhas possess the boon of seeing the past, present and future. Whatever they say must be treated as the Gospel Truth. They are also indirect and we must try to infer the hidden message for us in every line they say. When in trouble, we find it alright to beat the drum for gaining sympathy, support and begging for help from others but we hesitate to connect with the Guru. All problems in life have their origin in impure intention, non-acceptance and lack of love. Baba ji’s teachings have the solution to the direst of problems. Just that “Ghungat ke Pat” have to be unraveled. This Ghungat is the impurity which we are holding onto and not releasing in sadhna out of ego. Just let them go. Just forgive. Be a liberated soul. Do not cling to the past grudges and sorrow. Live in the present. Feel the presence of Baba ji with you all the time. You are not helpless. Just call out His name with sincerity and he'll be there to your rescue.

New Year Message from Ashram
Namah shivay! To make
the year 2014 really new, as Shivyogis we must renounce the luggage of sorrow,
the burden of hurt and the baggage of revenge we are carrying against people
for something distressing they said, did or inflicted on us. The New Year will
become “new” in the truest sense only when there will be something new in it.
So, Baba ji says make a new start. Begin a fresh innings. Stop looking at what others are up to, whether
others are spiritual or not and whether they are following the sacred
teachings. Stop judging others on their utterances, good or bad habits, eating
practices, appearance, display of wealth, interests etc. A fresh start can only
be made when the past is really put behind. Let us in this New Year look
inwards. Let us as ShivYogis introspect on where we ourselves are going, where
we have erred, what improvements do we need in ourselves, how much time is to
be devoted to spiritual chores, what are the worldly goals (weight loss, weight
gain, good job, % of marks in academics, good spouse, bank balance etc) we want
to achieve and how much we have progressed in that direction through our
efforts. Let us make 2014 spiritually, materialistically, and health-wise rich
with meaning. A very happy, prosperous, healthy and divine new year. Blessings.
