are petite when standing beside the Love which lies within us, eternally present.
Swamini Lakshmi
This eCard Quote is transmitted from Mahavatar Babaji in our present time. Babaji told Lahiri Mahasaya when Lahiri first met Him on Drongiri Mountain in the Himalayas: "When one realizes his unity with mankind, all minds become transmitting stations through which he can work at will." It is written and It Is So: Even in our today time, Babaji transmites his messages to some of his Disciples. Babaji is the Guru of Gurus and appears to Masters and disciples whom he chooses from his Divine Will. -Swamini Vishwalakshmianandama

Mahavatar Babaji Paramguru of Mahamandaleshwar Sri Swami Vishwananda Devotes Disciples
"The Sadhaks of Atma Kriya practioners ride the frequencies of timelessness, resting on the laurels of the Lineage of Kriya Yoga Masters* and practitioners throughout time on Earth. Let it be known that all who practice Kriya send into the frequencies of timelessness their true nature. This Master vibration is Love, which is the essence of everything. Be true to the Self always with Love in the heart, the valve which opens Vaikuntha, Heaven’s Gate." "The picture above with the tilak on the forehead of Sri Swami Vishwananda carries the fingerprint of Mahavatar Babaji, who appeared to Guruji during the celebration of Babaji Day, November 30, 2015. Sit with this in meditation and see what happens!
Inspired by
the Guru’s Satsang talk on Babaji Day, 30 November 2015, the disciple
approached the next morning’s 3 a.m. Atma Kriya practice with renewed
commitment, devotion and patience. Sri Swami Vishwananda spoke of Babaji’s
commitment to all of us to stay on this planet, as his sister, Mataji, asked of
him. Swamiji said that Babaji appears and speaks to Masters and his disciples, some
whom take his messages into the world. Babaji, at the same time, is available
to all, within, through the committed practice of Atma Kriya and when one
sincerely calls his name. Gurudev says that Babaji does not speak in words of
sound like humans but rather in the language of the heart (soundless
words). For the disciple, this way of
communicating with Babaji is like a serene, moonlit night with the sun still
visible in shadow form as Babaji is both the sun and the moon. Out of His loving serenity, on cosmic waves
of love, emanates “The Voice of Babaji” in soundless words, softly lilting like
Krishna’s flute, Murali, to those who speak the language of the heart and hear
with ears of the heart.
The
disciple’s Atma Kriya Yoga meditation began with calling the Masters with whom
there is a connected resonance: The linage of
Kriya Masters; Narayana, who appears in a blue form; out of Narayana steps Vishnu
in third-dimensional, living color like his picture, with golden arm bracelets,
necklaces and jewels, radiantly splendid in his cosmic array; Divine Mother, beautiful
Divine Mother, Maha Lakshmi, with golden crown, deep red sari and golden
slippers on dainty feet; Mahavatar Babaji, serenely looking at one with eyes
swimming with eternal Cosmic Awareness; Sri Swami Vishwananda, beautifully
smiling while looking at one with cosmic awareness of everything and all about
you, as you stand with naked soul revealed.
As the
disciple began the Kriya rounds of practice, suddenly the awareness expanded
into a unified field of resonance composed of golden energy, electrified like lightning,
and serene in feeling. It seemed from the nucleus of the body, awareness
expanded into cosmic consciousness as the Kriya Masters and Cosmic Gods
enfolded the disciple in a loving embrace, such as a sweet kiss a mother places
on the check of her sleeping child to awaken the child. The Kriya practice
continued as the Guru, Sri Swami Vishwananda has taught the disciple. Tears
from deep within, bhakti, spilled down the face of the physical form while the
cosmic awareness was present simultaneous with the body’s full consciousness. This
reminded the disciple of what the Guru has said many times: “If you take one
step toward the Guru and Mahavatar Babaji, they reciprocate with many, many
steps toward you.” Swamiji
said on Babaji Day: “The mind is cheeky.” The mind of this disciple has the
ability to create this story and pictures. In truth, this mind does not
have the capacity to know and feel the Cosmic Consciousness. This is how this disciple knows this experience is
of the heart!
The Voice of
Sri Swami Vishwananda and Mahavatar Babaji, combined in loving exaltation of
Unity, and said: “What do you want?” This voice echoed through eternity’s
timeless corridors eventually to merge into time’s dimension. The disciple
spoke the one answer possible, spoken from the heart: “The ‘I’ wants the
consciousness like you, Dearest, beloved Gurudev and beloved Mahavatar Babaji.”
While the disciple heard no sound or soundless response, there came on the wind
of Hanuman these words, brushing up against time’s awareness: “That, dear
disciple, takes ‘time’.
On our journey these 15 days of Mahavatar messages before Babaji celebration at Shree Peetha Nilaya with Mahamandaleshwar Sri Swami Vishwananda 30 November 2015, Mahavatar is sending you an Ecard we made some years ago. Mahavatar spoke with me today and said that his message is as relevent today as the day he said it. Many years of deep meditation convey peace - Atma Kriya Yoga meditation. -Swamini Vishwalakshmianandama
When all the judgement of the external and internal is gone
from the mind
the truth reveals itself in the form of Radha
and unites with Krishna.

RADHA KRISHNA Then
and Now
Dearest, most Beloved Guru,
Your celestial and physical beauty
Fairly take my breath away . . .
Reminiscent of your Atma Kriya as
The high attainment is reached
Wherein the
Breath and heart of a Yogi
Become silent,
Like the airwaves,
When pristine, white snowflakes
Blanket the vicinity around a small town.
Then the small town Church bells
Ring in the tranquility of wintertime
As the iridescent blue-green peacock flies
From branch to ground
Seeking its master . . . evermore.
A lovely, serene young maiden comes
Gliding over the freshly fallen snow.
Behold ! . . .
Rings out the voice of Narada,
Ancient India’s most travelled Sage as
Recorded in the Ramayana,
Who has the attainment of
Visiting distant worlds,
Realms or lokas.
“This is Radha of the Celestial Realms.
And what is she doing in this
Place and this time?
Like the peacock following Krishna
Into twenty-first-century time,
Rada comes now . . .
Not only to Vrindavan . . .
But also to a rural hill above a small, small village
Disciple of Sri Swami Vishwananda Experiences …
The Inner Meaning of Bala Krishna Sucking His Toe
In a recent experience, a disciple of
Sri Swami Vishwananda was working with him to select a Murti for a temple which
Swamiji will inaugurate at the proper Divine time. Gurudev sent various
pictures to this disciple, one after another, which did not touch the heart of
his disciple. Due to this, very early in the picture selection process of
choosing the Murti, this disciple happily surrendered the decision of which
Murti choice to him, Sri Swami Vishwananda. The disciple did not know at that
time that the SatGuru had a greater, magnificent plan. The disciple became
slightly confused as to why Beloved Gurudev kept sending various pictures of
Murtis such as ones cast in the five metals of India and the black color of
some Murtis of Indian origin, and so forth. Yet, slowly the pictures kept
appearing, one by one.
Then this week of September 1-5, 2015
a picture came wherein when the eyes beheld the likeness of the Deity in white
marble with the only colors being the White of the Marble andGold… jewelry, crown, foot
decoration, belt and clothes of white folds and drape with a small gold design
scattered over the cloth carved into the marble, it took the disciple’s breath
away and bhakti tears came as the heart opened to this Murti picture. And the
disciple saw and felt the picture of the Deity was indeed the Deity, Itself. As
bhakti tears and deep feelings of Love and Devotion came from the depths of the
soul, the disciple realized that all along the SatGuru, Sri Swami Vishwananda
had been leading the disciple inside the Self for the disciple to select the
Murti of this Maha Deity which resonated with the Love and Devotion of this
disciple for the Deity within the disciple’s essence, atma, soul, sacred heart.
This feeling brought forth the amrita from the Atma Essence of this disciple as
Krishna so sweetly shows us in the story and the picture of “Bala Krishna
sucking his toe".
The disciple woke
at 2 a.m. September 9, 2015 (today) and Beloved Gurudev had sent, on I-Phone, a
picture of “Bala Krishna sucking his toe” See above a copy of the Krishna
picture of the one Swamiji sent to his disciple. Then the disciple found a
Youtube Video of this and (see video embedded below) also read the story of the inner meaning
of “Bala Krishna sucking his toe” from theSrimad
Bhagavatam, Canto 12, Chapter 9, Text 1-34(given
below).In grateful humbleness, the
disciple realized that the Beloved SatGuru, Sri Swami Vishwananda had
orchestrated, with great patience, this selection of a Murti for a Temple the
disciple is creating so that this one could have theexperience of livingthe inner meaning of “Bala Krishna
sucking his toe".)
Each of us has this sameamrita, the nectar of the Godswithin our bodies as Krishna so
beautifully demonstrated in his giving us the story of “Baby Krishna
sucking his toe.” This story comes to us through the experience ofSage Markandeya,
Srimad Bhagavatam, Canto 12, Chapter 9, Text 1-34
Suta Gosvami said:
The Supreme Lord Narayana, the friend of Nara,
was satisfied by the proper glorification offered by the intelligent sage
Markandeya. Thus the Lord addressed that excellent descendant of Bhrigu.
The Supreme
Personality of Godhead said: My dear Markandeya, you are indeed the best of all
learned brahmanas. You have perfected your life by practicing fixed meditation
upon the Supreme Soul, as well as by focusing upon Me your undeviating
devotional service, your austerities, your study of the Vedas and your strict
adherence t
We are perfectly satisfied with your
practice of lifelong celibacy. Please choose whatever benediction you desire,
since I can grant your wish. May you enjoy all good fortune.
The sage said: O Lord of lords, all
glories to You! O Lord Acyuta, You remove all distress for the devotees who
surrender unto You. That you have allowed me to see You is all the benediction
I want.
Such
demigods as Lord Brahma achieved their exalted positions simply by seeing Your
beautiful lotus feet after their minds had become mature in yoga practice. And
now, my Lord, You have personally appeared before me.
O lotus-eyed Lord, O crest jewel of
renowned personalities, although I am satisfied simply by seeing You, I do wish
to see Your illusory potency, by whose influence the entire world, together
with its ruling demigods, considers reality to be materially variegated.
Suta Gosvami
said: O wise Saunaka, thus satisfied by Markandeya's praise and worship, the
Supreme Personality of Godhead, smiling, replied, "So be it," and
then departed for His hermitage at Badarikasrama.
Thinking always of his desire to see
the Lord's illusory energy, the sage remained in his asrama, meditating
constantly upon the Lord within fire, the sun, the moon, water, the earth, air,
lightning and his own heart and worshiping Him with paraphernalia conceived in
his mind. But sometimes, overwhelmed by waves of love for the Lord, Markandeya
would forget to perform his regular worship.
O brahmana Saunaka, best of the
Bhrigus, one day while Markandeya was performing his evening worship on the
bank of the Pushpabhadra, a great wind suddenly arose.
That wind
created a terrible sound and brought in its wake fearsome clouds that were
accompanied by lightning and roaring thunder and that poured down on all sides
torrents of rain as heavy as wagon wheels.
Then the four great oceans appeared
on all sides, swallowing up the surface of the earth with their wind-tossed
waves. In these oceans were terrible sea monsters, fearful whirlpools and
ominous rumblings.
The sage saw
all the inhabitants of the universe, including himself, tormented within and
without by the harsh winds, the bolts of lightning, and the great waves rising
beyond the sky. As the whole earth flooded, he grew perplexed and fearful.
Even as Markandeya looked on, the
rain pouring down from the clouds filled the ocean more and more until that
great sea, its waters violently whipped into terrifying waves by hurricanes,
covered up all the earth's islands, mountains and continents.
The water inundated the earth, outer
space, heaven and the celestial region. Indeed, the entire expanse of the
universe was flooded in all directions, and out of all its inhabitants only
Markandeya remained. His matted hair scattered, the great sage wandered about
alone in the water as if dumb and blind.
Tormented by hunger and thirst,
attacked by monstrous makaras and timingila fish and battered by the wind and
waves, he moved aimlessly through the infinite darkness into which he had
fallen. As he grew increasingly exhausted, he lost all sense of direction and
could not tell the sky from the earth.
At times he
was engulfed by the great whirlpools, sometimes he was beaten by the mighty
waves, and at other times the aquatic monsters threatened to devour him as they
attacked one another. Sometimes he felt lamentation, bewilderment, misery,
happiness or fear, and at other times he experienced such terrible illness and
pain that he felt himself dying.
Countless millions of years passed as
Markandeya wandered about in that deluge, his mind bewildered by the illusory
energy of Lord Vishnu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Once, while wandering in the water,
the brahmana Markandeya discovered a small island, upon which stood a young
banyan tree bearing blossoms and fruits.
Upon a branch of the northeast
portion of that tree he saw an infant boy lying within a leaf. The child's
effulgence was swallowing up the darkness.
The infant's
dark-blue complexion was the color of a flawless emerald, His lotus face shone
with a wealth of beauty, and His throat bore marks like the lines on a
conchshell. He had a broad chest, a finely shaped nose, beautiful eyebrows, and
lovely ears that resembled pomegranate flowers and that had inner folds like a
conchshell's spirals. The corners of His eyes were reddish like the whorl of a
lotus, and the effulgence of His coral-like lips slightly reddened the
nectarean, enchanting smile on His face. As He breathed, His splendid hair
trembled and His deep navel became distorted by the moving folds of skin on His
abdomen, which resembled a banyan leaf. The exalted brahmana watched with
amazement as the infant took hold of one of His lotus feet with His graceful
fingers, placed a toe within His mouth and began to suck.
As Markandeya beheld the child, all
his weariness vanished. Indeed, so great was his pleasure that the lotus of his
heart, along with his lotus eyes, fully blossomed and the hairs on his body
stood on end. Confused as to the identity of the wonderful infant, the sage
approached Him.
Just then
the child inhaled, drawing Markandeya within His body like a mosquito. There
the sage found the entire universe arrayed as it had been before its
dissolution. Seeing this, Markandeya was most astonished and perplexed.
The sage saw the entire universe: the
sky, heavens and earth, the stars, mountains, oceans, great islands and
continents, the expanses in every direction, the saintly and demoniac living
beings, the forests, countries, rivers, cities and mines, the agricultural
villages and cow pastures, and the occupational and spiritual activities of the
various social divisions. He also saw the basic elements of creation along with
all their by-products, as well as time itself, which regulates the progression
of countless ages within the days of Brahma. In addition, he saw everything
else created for use in material life. All this he saw manifested before him as
if it were real.
He saw before him the Himalaya
Mountains , the Pushpabhadra River, and his own hermitage, where he had
had the audience of the sages Nara-Narayana. Then, as Markandeya beheld the
entire universe, the infant exhaled, expelling the sage from His body and
casting him back into the ocean of dissolution.
In that vast sea he again saw the banyan tree growing
on the tiny island and the infant boy lying within the leaf. The child glanced
at him from the corner of His eyes with a smile imbued with the nectar of love,
and Markandeya took Him into his heart through his eyes. Greatly agitated, the
sage ran to embrace the transcendental Personality of Godhead.
At that moment the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who
is the original master of all mysticism and who is hidden within everyone's
heart, became invisible to the sage, just as the achievements of an incompetent
person can suddenly vanish.
After the Lord disappeared, O brahmana, the banyan
tree, the great water and the dissolution of the universe all vanished as well,
and in an instant Markandeya found himself back in his own hermitage, just as
before.

MAHAVATAR BABAJI TODAY 4 August 2015
In Himalayan caves, the floors contain Earth soil, which often supports rocky grottos with the five elements of Earth, for this is its nature. The human body contains blood, bone, tissue and all with its own DNA cellular nature. So it is that the spiritual nature of man resides in the spiritual heart ready to be realized; this is its nature. Humanity remains inhuman and at its animal nature until this Love, which man is in essence, is realized and exhibited in all thought, word and action in one’s life.

~ Sri Swami Vishwananda
“Forever true or forever blue, ridden by remorse or flying
into bliss, that is the present state of human kind. Through countless
incarnations, people identify themselves as the body or the spirit. Therein resides
the state of the mind and the heart. Remember you are spirit and will forever
be. Then know the peace, love and bliss that you really are. In a moment you
may change your life experience when you awaken into this knowing that you are,
in essence, an eternal consciousness of spirit and beyond the body and all
things material.”
This body is being given so that humankind can have the chance to purify themselves and to revive their Divine state of pure Love. On the way, that leads to Giridhari and to the true, not illusive, happiness as one can be truly happy only being with the God of Love. -Sri Swami Vishwananda
"You've no idea how hard I've looked for a gift to bring You.
Nothing seemed right. What's the point of bringing gold
to the gold mine, or water to the Ocean. Everything I came
up with was like taking spices to the Orient. It's no good
giving my heart and my soul because you already have these.
So, I've brought you a mirror. Look at yourself and
remember me."
-Rumi
“The scene was a Kumbha Mela, Lahiri Mahasaya told his disciples. “I had gone there during a short vacation from my office duties. As I wandered amidst the throng of monks and sadhus who had come from great distances to attend the holy festival, I noticed an ash-smeared ascetic who was holding a begging bowl. The thought arose in my mind that the man was hypocritical, wearing the outward symbols of renunciation without a corresponding inward grace.
“No sooner had I passed the ascetic than my astounded eye fell on Mahavatar Babaji. He was kneeling in front of a matted-haired anchorite.
“‘Guruji!’ I hastened to his side. ‘Sir, what are you doing here?’
“‘I am washing the feet of this renunciate, and then I shall clean his cooking utensils.’ Babaji smiled at me like a little child; I knew he was intimating that he wanted me to criticize no one, but to see the Lord as residing equally in all body-temples, whether of superior or inferior men. The great guru added, ‘By serving wise and ignorant sadhus, I am learning the greatest of virtues, pleasing to God above all others—humility.’”
Swami Vishwananda @vishwananda TWITTER 31 July 2015 HAPPY VYASA PURNIMA "Guru is everything in a bhakta's life: mother, father, friend, lover, God. All is only Gurudev.
Happy Vyasa Purnima. May the grace of the master be always on all of you, as it's only by the Guru's love and grace one will attain the goal of life." -Sri Swami Vishwananda
The Gayatri mantras of Mahavatar Babaji sung beautifully by Bhadrananda from Switzerland.
This kirtan was sung during a Darshan that Swamiji gave at his main ashram, Shree Peetha Nilaya, located in Springen, Germany.
Swamiji travels the world giving Darshan and Satsang to countless spiritual seekers. To receive a personal blessing (Darshan) from an Enlightened Master is one of the greatest gifts given to mankind. Swamiji essentially removes all limitations of what we can achieve with this human life, by awakening our inner Light and Love.
Bhakti Marga (meaning path of devotion to God) stands for a family of individuals from all over the world who dedicate their life foremost to God. The main centre is located in Springen, Germany.
Sri Swami Vishwananda is a spiritual master from the island of Mauritius and founder of Bhakti Marga.
