In this new 4-part mini-series, Anand takes us into the contemplative medicine that is the four Mahavakyas. These great declarations coming from the Upanishads are as relevant today as they were hundreds of years ago. In each episode he will explore each Mahavakya in greater depth, bringing profound insight into the nature of Self and reality, enlivening our consciousness with ancient wisdom from the Yog-Vedantic Tradition. This first episode opens the door to Prajnanam Brahma, the first Mahavakya in the mini-series.

In this Episode we journey back to Sattva Summit 2019, to experience the ever-present moment. Often we find ourselves wondering what is the future, but are in confusion as we are asked to be present in the now. Here in this satsang Anand explores and expands, bringing a true understanding to the here and now, encouraging us to expand our awareness of the present moment, bringing growth to our understanding of what it is to be truly here.

This Episode taken from a Sattva Connect live stream, Anand takes us into deeper understanding for cultivating a better mind. When the mind is being informed by Atman (the soul), the quality of the mind is that of pristine clarity, peacefulness, connected to source intelligence. Otherwise, you’ll experience a distracted mind, dominated by negative emotions, filled with craving and aversion, fear and desire (Ahamkara or Ego). So, don’t let your mind become an architect of misery. Plant the seeds of the Banyan tree. Be the master of your mind. Stay open to source intelligence!

What you experience right now, it is totally contingent on your own deserving power, your whole life is an extension of that The understanding of this great law of nature can alter completely your life. So take a moment to dive into this new episode from a state of deep presence, stable mind and an open heart. As we explored in previous episodes, what level of consciousness you most consistently maintain become your experience of yourself and so life. Here we refine the understanding through the concept of deserving power. What you most consistently engage in, what state of consciousness you most consistently maintain you become capable of receiving that value in your life. If you want to raise your deserving power you have to consistently engage in the new expression of you, not from thoughts, but from your state, alter your state consistently and universe will start to organize around this new frequency. Deserving power is directly proportional to your staying power. Life can only be the way you are, cannot be any other way!! When you realize that you start to work on that, consistently show in that way, creating and meeting your future making your vision possible.

This episode is a gem for practitioners on the path of evolution.To understand that the state of Yog is not at the end of the arrow, the state of yoga is now.Do not use your practice as another waiting room to get the state. Become mature practitioners instead of just chasers. Mature practitioners know that you can only arrive to the state now and this requires willingness and radical responsibility. We closed the last episode with a transformative question: What can I be aware of that can alter my consciousness state right now? So are you aware of your state?

Take a moment to dive deeper into your understanding of the fundamental base of existence. The meaning of life is to evolve and evolution at the core base is to gain greater cosmic consciousness, the finite value of consciousness gaining the value of its own capacity. Embrace this knowledge from your heart which is the seat of cosmic consciousness and have a glimpse of our own eternal nature. Brahmanda Rupa the cosmic form which is formless, the potential of all forms, the formless that collapses in form. Cosmic nature is the infinite potential of all life, a formless field that holds infinity within itself, it's intangible and accessible by every conscious species. So learn to access the field of cosmic consciousness.

Receive a taste of what consciousness and cosmic consciousness are, and tune in for a life of fearlessness. During Sattva Summit 2019 Anand took us on an awakening journey into the wholeness of consciousness and consciousness states. Knower, known and the process of knowing are all consciousness. Everything is experienced within consciousness, everything is known in consciousness, and everything in life is the content of consciousness. The degree of the individuals awareness is their own consciousness state. Hold less tight to content that arises from your consciousness, increase the degree of awareness and shift your state, your life will shift accordingly.

In this episode Anand is joined by Sattva master teacher Annemarie, to pose some frequent questions on the topic of Jyotish. During this session we receive insight into the origins of Jyotish, or the Science of Light. Anand shares how it is a tool for evolutionary understanding of oneself, giving rise to the awareness of how we are the universe itself and able to move into a life of Dharma.

In this contemplative meditation recorded during a Sattva connect Live Stream, Anand Ji invites you to organize around love. You must realize that events come and go. Structures arise and dissolve. But the loving presence, at the core of all that is, stands the test of time.

Anand teaches us that a heart centred life is a fulfilling life. He explains the four fundamental practices to cultivate in our lives, how to live in gratefulness with a sense of appreciation and the importance of compassion. He reminds us of the need for radical trust, surrender, and that the unknown is our ally and not to be feared. Ultimately, he shows us how to enliven that place of wisdom within us all, so that we may navigate our journey through this life in an elegant manner.

Anand explores the supreme advice offered by Patanjali in Pada 1, sutra 33, from his interpretation, This Is That. He encourages us to cultivate these 4 expressions of love: friendliness, compassion, reverence and indifference, that we might practice loving kindness and access that inner joy. Through this brilliant insight, he reminds us that in order to enrich our energetic field we must be aware of what we give our attention to, that wisdom is our greatest ally and to align ourselves with those dedicated to growth.

In this episode, Anand discusses a very important aspect of the Yog-Vedantic tradition, SATSANG, the empowering value of community coming together with a shared intention… a gathering of hearts and minds to further their evolution. He reminds us to be aware of what we give our attention to and the need for mindful content. We learn that truth here is not an opinion but leads us closer to our higher Self and he invites us to bring this teaching into our lives.

In this podcast, the first in the Second Series. Anand shares the insight of the great Masters and invites us to move in the direction of wisdom and avoid the trap of the egoic mind, to always want to be right. For right leads nowhere but wisdom leads us to great freedom and joy.

In this podcast from the tantric teachings, Anand shares this beautiful insight into the cosmic womb and the timeless domain of the great mother. He invites us to let go of ownership, dive deep into the un-manifest, pure field of potential and allow the creative intelligence to flow through us.
