We are in Rishikesh for Meditation and satsang with living Rishi Gurumaa. When you are near Rishi you can realize what is the purpose of life? When Saint says Mukti is the purpose of life then we cannot understand Mukti and makes some jokes on mukti. when a Sanskrit student want to get married ,her fiance says after marriage do not says that I want to mukti from the marriage- bandan then although all of us in M.A but we cannot explain the real meaning of Mukti but we can think what is mukti which Rishi explained many times. We can read too much books about it but in vain and we never think that for this we should meet a Rishi because many people say that in this New Age no-one is Rishi. So we always read books and try to busy in our work. If you want to realize Mukti then there is need of practice with living Guru then living in city you can prepare for Moksha.
Moksha became the destination of our life because we have seen the living Master Gurumaa .Now in Rishikesh Shivir we have tried to understand the steps of Moksha. Although Gurumaa explaining many times these steps but always forget that these steps are compulsory for us and need of continue daily practice but when we return home we become lazy and forget the yoga although almost of the time we remember the spirituality but Gurumaa says this is not enough we should take some steps of Moksha so maintain your diary in New year to draw everlasting happiness in your life and start to take steps of yoga. Yoga means pranayam, balancing your mind, active in your work in detachment way. Try to start your day from pranayam, try to deep your breath, you can start some easy steps but daily practice is compulsory, practice to see your mind ,so many thoughts are in our mind, we are not in the habit of living in this present moment, always in future or past see your duality of mind. when we start meditation near Gurumaa we can aware our mind is always busy and restless and when you start Kirtan, this is the way of collecting the energy which you are wasting unknowingly, from this way you are on the Moksha way where your impurities lost which you are taking with yourself or even can not realizing.
After pranayam, start Mantra VAHE GURU, VAHE GURU, This is the easy and connecting to you with Guru and you also involve with the energy of GURU, jap this mantra, try to evoke your mind and say yourself jap vaheguru, prepare your mind for this mantra if feel difficult then use cassette of vahe guru in which Gurumaa has repeated this mantra for ourself, you can easily evolve this mantra, Now continue practice in yoga and Kirtan steps. Moksha can realize only Guru and she can explore the way of Moksha but we can remain on the path with practice so daily prepare yourself for practice before sleeping if one start practice, all the night mantra remain in your mind so in the morning you feel fresh and early morning again practice, all the day your mind turned in peaceful condition, in your break time if you are reading, hearing spiritual literature and songs your mind evolve and anyway you are remembering guru-words and in deep silent way you are connecting with Guru, you are on the path of Rishi and you can understand what is the importance of Rishikesh Shivir with Gurumaa.
At last all the steps---- Moksha, bandhan or even Guru Dhayan -- leave and you dissolve or immerse in shiv ohm then you realize that this Shivir is for you.
