Yesterday I participated in the Siddha Yoga audio satsang for the second time. I appreciated having this second opportunity to take in and remember the many teachings that Baba Muktananda imparted in his extraordinary talk, and to go deeper into the related exercises given by the wonderful teacher of the satsang.

Both times I participated, I experienced having a direct encounter with the witnessing Self. Both experiences were powerful and life-changing in terms of how I understand myself and others.

Participating on my birthday in the audio satsang titled “Understand Your Own Self” felt like a precious gift from Baba.

As I listened to Baba’s voice in Hindi, I felt he was speaking directly to me, sitting beside me in my meditation room. His presence felt alive and powerful.

This satsang helped me understand more deeply my relationship with my own Self, and to recognize that same sacred presence in everything and everyone around me.

I feel immense gratitude to Baba for this blessing.

During meditation, I felt like I was kneeling at the bottom of the ocean. On the surface, there were my thoughts in the form of waves, powerboats, and jet skis.

I was in a space that was deep blue in color and vibrating with the mantra. When thoughts arose, they floated to the surface as if they were bubbles.

As time went by, there were fewer powerboats and jet skis, the waves became calmer, and my mind became more still.

As I couldn’t participate in the audio satsang at the meditation center, I looked for an opportunity to participate online at home. Finally, I registered for today.

I was worried that, because I have children at home, I might not be able to focus for the full three hours of the satsang. Then, just before the satsang began, my mother came and took the children to play outdoors, and I was able to participate peacefully.

During the satsang I loved hearing Baba’s teaching. When the time came for meditation, I started worrying again. How was I going to be able to go deep into meditation in the same way that I would in the center? Then, when meditation began, I found that my own room had become like an Ashram hall. It was so powerful that I could go very deep in meditation.

During the final chanting, there were tears of gratitude in my eyes. I felt so light in my heart. I understood that, since I had registered for the satsang, there was certainty from Baba that the satsang would be a great experience for me.

As soon I heard about the Audio Satsang in Celebration of Baba’s Muktananda’s Birthday, I was entranced with the idea of participating in it.

Now, having experienced the power of the satsang, I am feeling God’s presence with me as I go about my day. I am utterly grateful.

I am grateful for such a timely and important satsang in celebration of Baba Muktananda’s Birthday. It answered a pressing question I had about my sadhana.

At the beginning of meditation, I prayed to Baba to help me enter fully into the experience of the Self. I felt that Baba heard me, and in my meditation I saw him, a wand of peacock feathers in his hand, drawing me inward until I experienced the luminous Self. Then, in this light, Baba, Gurumayi, Bade Baba, and I all blended into one illuminating light, infusing me with the sweet fragrance of the Self.

Baba’s teachings were so clear and simple, yet so profound. I felt as though I was hearing about the Self for the first time! And the dharana was beautiful. I felt so much love. It was very healing.

I am excited to continue practicing what I learned in the audio satsang and to contemplate Baba’s teachings more deeply.

Participating in this audio satsang has reminded me of Baba’s great power, wisdom, and the love that drew me to him. I remember his natural joy and powerful gaze. I remember the power of his words, sustained by his love and intention that we come to understand and experience our connection to the Divine.

I am grateful for his example of strength throughout his sadhana. I am grateful for his constant reminder that the only thing that truly matters in this life is our inner connection to the Divine, which dwells within all of us.

I am grateful to Baba for dedicating so much of his life to being our guide and teacher, for the immense impact he has had on our lives, and for transforming mine.

I love this path. We celebrate a special birthday and are given a gift!

Baba’s loving guidance in this satsang is subtle and strong; his message is clear; and we are gifted with love and acceptance. My meditations, journaling, and self-reflection were so nourishing. I am filled with gratitude to Shri Guru.

Participating in the Siddha Yoga Audio Satsang and immersing myself in Baba’s teachings was a profound experience of universal brotherhood for me.

During the satsang, I experienced a deep, inward stillness. There arose a state next to sleep, yet filled with awareness, inner light, calmness, and silence beyond body and mind.

I experienced that Shri Guru is truly the grace-bestowing power of God and that the Guru Principle is all-pervasive and all-powerful. This reminded me of the blessed moment nearly forty-four years ago when I was introduced to the Siddha Yoga path, when the process of inner transformation quietly began through Baba’s teachings, the Siddha Yoga practices, remembrance, and grace.

As I listened to Baba Muktananda’s voice in the audio satsang, it felt as though I was sitting in a small group around him and he was sharing his teachings very personally with us.

I listen to Baba speak;

I do not know Hindi,

and yet there are resultant tears that flow—

nourishing this heart.

Not tears of sadness

nor even of joy.

These are the

tears of being held in a

Love supreme,

beyond all words.

The experience of participating in the Siddha Yoga Audio Satsang for Baba Muktananda’s Birthday was akin to the invaluable opportunity of spending time with Baba ji himself—having his darshan through his voice and words and receiving knowledge of the Truth directly from him.

I was awestruck by how Baba, with the precision of a skilled doctor, identified the subtlest obstacles in my sadhana and imparted teachings to address them in his inimitable way. This satsang was a learning experience of how to open myself to Shri Guru’s grace and how to receive practical guidance for implementing Shri Guru’s teachings in my daily life.

I participated in the audio satsang yesterday. I loved the extraordinary talk by Baba Muktananda and the process the teacher led us through to engage with the sublime teachings Baba imparted. During the meditation I felt drawn into a closer relationship with the Self, within and without.

In the satsang I learned a wonderful new tool to bring to my meditation practice and my daily life. I feel that using this tool will take my sadhana to a higher level.

There were so many grace-filled teachings in this satsang; I am already planning to participate in it again!

New York, United States

For me this audio satsang was very powerful. As I was actively participating in the satsang and eagerly absorbing the valuable teachings, I suddenly felt an energy building up within me. My body became very warm, and I felt as though this energy was cleansing something inside me.

In this satsang, I experienced a deeper awareness of my own nature and a deeper sense of connection with myself. I would like to deepen this connection with myself in order to experience greater stability and security in all situations in my life.
