True silence is not just refraining from speaking. One can speak silently or can use word that will have a profound impact on others. When our bodies, sense organs, and four inner instruments are in perfect harmony, with or without words, there is silence. Sadhana and conscious living will make our lives harmonious. It is in our hands. It is possible. Even if the body is sick or weak, it does not matter. If we have too much work, it does not matter. Excerpt from In The Temple of Silence by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda Silence isn't just golden; it is divine. Silence is inherently sacred. It is multidimensional, vast, and eternal. Unfortunately, in our social media-driven lives most of us know little about it. In the outer world, silence can lead us to better communication skills and stronger relationships. In the inner world, it can lead us to communion with God. There is no greater teacher than silence. In the holy classroom of silence, all of life's secrets are revealed. In this amazing, one-of-a-kind book Paramahamsa Prajnanananda teaches us the importance and impact of practicing silence. Few of us realize the value of silence, how it can lead to self-mastery, and how it can accelerate spiritual growth. Practicing silence is not escapism; it connects us to life at its deepest level. When we enter the temple of silence, we are not escaping from life; instead, we are learning how to live to the fullest. https://kriya.org/sharethis/product/0ff39bbbf981ac0151d340c9aa40e63e/books/en . . . . . #Prajnanananda #Hariharananda #KriyaYoga #Guruji #KriyaYogaInternational #ParamahamsaHariharananda #ParamahamsaPrajnanananda #yogaindailylife #meditation #loveGod #Kriya #ParamahansaYogananda #Yogananda #KYIO #spirituality #yoga
Silence Is Harmony In the traditional teacher-student relationship, the student ordinarily does not ask about anything except spirituality or spiritual study. The atmosphere is one of silken serenity. Silence is the perfect harmony of body, sense organs, mind, intellect, ego, and memory. When all are in harmony, true silence can manifest.

One should have control over speech. When I was staying with my beloved Shri Gurudev, I rarely spoke. sometimes Shri Gurudev made fun of this with a humorous remark: "Do you know he is not speaking because his his words are very valuable?" One day when he questioned me and expected an answer, I did not say anything. He said, "Do you have spondylitis? You can't move your head to indicate yes or no. I thought you were very humble and sweet, but I see you are very stubborn! You are not answering my questions."

People are too attached to places, people, and even food in India. In the West, and especially in the USA, people often move from one house to another. In one lifetime a person might have several houses, whereas in India, one place is inhabited by a family for hundreds of years. It is common to hear people say, "This is where my grandfather lived." However, this is nothing but attachment. The West offers many opportunities; if they are used positively, then it is a blessing. People with attachment cannot live solitary lives easily and joyfully.

A sincere spiritual seeker loves to live in seclusion and does not associate with many. Seclusion and silence are easy for some and quite difficult for others. I do not know if you have tried being alone. For some people in the West being alone for a significant period of time is a blessing. Living in a solitary place is the practice of silence and seclusion. Avoiding crowds and the company of people is also a demonstration of love for silence and seclusion.

Silence and Seclusion in the Bhagavad Gita Most people love to socialize and want to spend a lot of time with others for fun and pleasure, gossip, and sometimes quarrels. Too much talk creates discord. The body and mind love to be with others. The soul is always in seclusion and can be realized through inner seclusion. Thus, the Lord teaches us to love solitary living and to dislike the company of people. People often are a distraction and prevent us from changing and developing divine perception.

In the battle of Mahabharata, Lord Krishna was the chariot driver and Arjuna was the charioteer and warrior. Arjuna commands, and Lord Krishna follows silently as an obedient driver. In this instance, Arjuna talks and Lord Krishna is silent. In the body chariot the soul is the driver and is always silent. However, the mind talks and creates desires, and then the body is used to fulfill those expectations.

Silence in the Bhagavad Gita The Shrimad Bhagavad Gita is a book of life and a book of yoga. It sheds light on every aspect of life and how to make it beautiful and meaningful. It frees our minds from confusion and clarifies the goal of life. It shows us the way to reach the destination. The Bhagavad Gita describes silence in different places and in different contexts.

Silence is the art of speaking less, speaking usefully, and speaking in a loving way. Practicing silence starts with controlling our talkative nature and careless use of words. Silence is an art of conscious and careful talk. It helps to avoid gossip, slander, and telling tales. Avoiding negative speech, speaking less, and being positive are practical aspects of silence.

How should we speak? Shri Gurudev often chanted a mantra dedicated to the Divine Mother, the goddess of speech: "O, You are remaining on my tongue, which is powerful like the thunderbolt (of Indra). But You are covered by lips and sharp teeth like those of the mongoose. Please speak through my mouth, the divine sweet words that will be good for all." This mantra is for the development of others. This mantra that Shri Gurudev quoted states that our speech should be divine. When we speak in any situation, we must be aware that we are not using words but a mantra.

Mother Lakshmi is smiling and telling us to always be peaceful and loving and never be angry and egotistical. Anger, ego, and pride are the thieves of peace and love. Mother Kali is telling us to have complete control of our tongues while speaking and eating. She is advising silence and strict discipline.

A beautiful picture of the three Mothers shows one holding a string instrument and scriptures, another holding a pot of wealth and food, and the third biting her tongue with her teeth. These three Mothers suggest using the tongue in three different ways. The one holding the veena, a string instrument, is teaching us to speak sweetly and melodiously. From this Mother we learn that our words should be full of knowledge and love. She is Mother Saraswati.

Word and World The Hindu trinity in the form of Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu, and Lord Shiva represents One divinity doing three different and distinct functions, such as creation, sustenance, and destruction (dissolution). Although their presence is enough to carry out the triple activities, the work is actually done by the three Divine Mothers who correspond to each deity. Mother Saraswati (the consort of Lord Brahma), Mother Lakshmi (the consort of Lord Vishnu), and Mother Kali (the consort of Lord Shiva).These three aspects of motherhood truly perform all the drama during creation, sustenance, and dissolution.

In Kriya Yoga practice we sometimes close all the doors of the body, including the breath, which Shri Gurudev called navadvara ruddhamudra: "the technique of introverting the nine doors." When meditation becomes deeper, integrated silence begins. Success depends on sincere practice and nothing else. Our real nature is sat-chit-ananda (existence, consciousness, and bliss). Ananda means "bliss." We fantasize that if bliss happens, we will be happy. But we will never be happy because whatever we imagine will never happen. Joy is our nature. Happiness is our nature. Love is our nature. We must live like that. Excerpt from In The Temple of Silence by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda Silence isn't just golden; it is divine. Silence is inherently sacred.

Integrated Silence Integrated silence is deep meditation or continuously living in a meditative state. What does it mean? Silence is not just the discipline of the tongue; it is the discipline of all sense organs including the mind. In the Bhagavad Gita (3:6), the Lord says that merely disciplining the organs of action is not enough. If we outwardly discipline the organs but mentally deliberate on sense enjoyment, it is all pointless. The Lord also says in the Bhagavad Gita (2:59),"The sense objects recede from an abstinent person, with the exception of taste. Even taste falls away after the Absolute is realized.

Dynamic Silence God has given us a mouth for speaking. Using it improperly is disrespectful to God and His creation. Swami Shriyukteshwarji said,"Dumbness (muteness) is not spirituality. Properly expressing spiritual truth will help you and others grow." We should use the tongue, but intelligently. Dynamic silence includes speaking when truly needed while otherwise remaining quiet. That is why the masters direct us "to maintain silence but open your mouth and say something if it is more valuable than silence."

We are to make life meaningful. Time is passing. Who knows how long one will live? We should reflect upon our lives. What is the quality of my life? Is my life joyful or not? Is my life meaningful and purposeful or not? People tend to dream of good things happening when they do something. But it is not in our hands; rather, we should work nicely and offer it to God. Let the result be in the hand of the Divine. There is no guarantee of our next breath. Let us not have too many expectations regarding any situation. Whatever circumstances arise, we must live joyfully; that is our true nature. Excerpt from In The Temple of Silence by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda Silence isn't just golden; it is divine. Silence is inherently sacred. It is multidimensional, vast, and eternal. Unfortunately, in our social media-driven lives most of us know little about it. In the outer world, silence can lead us to better communication skills and stronger relationships. In the inner world, it can lead us to communion with God. There is no greater teacher than silence. In the holy classroom of silence, all of life's secrets are revealed. In this amazing, one-of-a-kind book Paramahamsa Prajnanananda teaches us the importance and impact of practicing silence. Few of us realize the value of silence, how it can lead to self-mastery, and how it can accelerate spiritual growth. Practicing silence is not escapism; it connects us to life at its deepest level. When we enter the temple of silence, we are not escaping from life; instead, we are learning how to live to the fullest. https://kriya.org/sharethis/product/0ff39bbbf981ac0151d340c9aa40e63e/books/en . . . . . #Prajnanananda #Hariharananda #KriyaYoga #Guruji #KriyaYogaInternational #ParamahamsaHariharananda #ParamahamsaPrajnanananda #yogaindailylife #meditation #loveGod #Kriya #ParamahansaYogananda #Yogananda #KYIO #spirituality #yoga
Noble Silence In the modern world, the term "noble silence" is used. Noble silence is when you observe strict silence; you also do not look at anyone or even make eye contact. If you look at someone, you can communicate. Not looking at anyone is the practice of complete silence without any gesture or eye contact. In yogic language, complete silence is kastha mauna, inner and outer silence combined. When we are absorbed in the goal and not concerned about anything else, it is complete silence.

Inner silence is being alert, watchful, mindful, careful, and not allowing ordinary thoughts to disturb you. You should have the attitude of "I will be in love with my Beloved." If the mind must think, let it think big, nobly, and good. Why think silly things? The choice is yours. Life is our choice. Just as it is my choice to attend spiritual programs and speak. When our mind is peaceful, you are peaceful, your activities are peaceful, and you will be successful.

There is nothing easier than Kriya Yoga. Love with every breath. With every breath, love. Inhaling and exhaling, your breath enters and departs; it is not difficult. Combine your love and alertness with your breath. Is it difficult? If I tell you to keep your head down and legs up, it is difficult. Kriya Yoga is so easy, and yet it feels difficult to many.

"I will not do this; I will not do this." "I will not eat it; I will not eat it." "I will not speak; I will not speak." "I will not allow any thought to manifest. I will keep my mind clean; I will keep my mind clean." Do we have that willpower? Do we have the power within to completely control our minds? Is the mind tussling with us? Many times and at many places I have seen, even after meditation class, people immediately return to gossiping, idle chatter, or reading messages on their cell phones. How strange!

We must be careful. Our thoughts affect others. If we think of others in a good way, they will do the same. Thoughts are powerful and like an echo. To be free from thoughts is not easy in the beginning. We should be careful about what we think. What kind of thoughts do you entertain throughout the day? The thoughts that you entertain become your life, and that is your personality. Are there thoughts of love? Thoughts of joy? Thoughts of kindness and compassion? Do you remember breath consciousness --- so'ham, hamsa? Excerpt from In The Temple of Silence by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda Silence isn't just golden; it is divine. Silence is inherently sacred.

Shri Gurudev said that when he was observing silence and staying by himself, a thought occurred to him to read the Bhagavad Gita. When we read the Gita, even if we do not use the mouths, we are using the eyes, mind, and brain. The next moment Shri Gurudev thought. "My purpose for silence is to be with God and to become realized. I can read the Bhagavad Gita after my realization; there is no need to read it now. Instead, I will intensify my meditation." Thus he stopped thinking about reading the Bhagavad Gita. This example of strict silence is inner silence.

If I sit with eyes closed for God alone, why would I allow other thoughts and emotions to arise? Be strict. When a thought comes, if your attention flows with the thought, you have lost your point of concentration. Whenever a thought manifests, observe it as a witness, immediately practice a technique, and mentally remember, "O God, I do not need any thoughts."

What Is Inner Silence? Inner silence is a purposeful attempt to regulate our thinking and prevent ordinary thoughts from distracting us. We must be watchful. In modern times, people use the word "mindful." We must be watchful, careful, and alert. Inner silence means decreasing the quantity of thoughts. Even when we sit to meditate with eyes closed, tongue rolled up, if we are honest we will admit that thoughts are coming to us.

Speak Through the Mind God has given us minds, and we use them day and night. The mind is always thinking. It is easy to stop talking by closing the mouth, but it is not so easy to stop thinking. We speak through the mouth and through the mind. When we speak through the mouth, is it audible; however, when we speak through our mind, it is not. Yet, your thoughts are visible to a discerning person. Shri Lahiri Mahasaya taught , "Be extremely careful during meditation; your mind should not talk." The mind speaks a lot. It unnecessarily interferes with many things and creates many troubles and difficulties. Excerpt from In The Temple of Silence by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda Silence isn't just golden; it is divine.

We Speak Without Our Mouths We eat with our eyes. For example, we enjoy a beautiful morning with our eyes and other senses. We also enjoy the world through our ears. In the same way, we speak not only through the mouth, but with every sense organ. We speak with our eyes, our faces, our heads, and even through our facial expressions and movements. We communicate with many organs. Since we can speak with our eyes, head, behavior, and body movements, these actions are all part of speaking. Regulating them is therefore part of external silence.

You can establish a disciplined pattern for practicing silence: perhaps a few hours designated for silence in the morning, and if possible, a few hours in the evening. You can make it a policy. In the past telephones did not exist. Then the telephone became a part of life. First a landline, now we have cell phones or mobile phones. Some people have several. I talk on the phone, but I do not have a mobile phone. It is my personal choice whether to speak or not.

In modern times, when people observe silence they say, "I will not speak, but I will still write messages. I will not talk on telephone, but I will write emails." This is not truly silence. For the last few years, I stopped using Internet ---- completely. The sky is not falling on me; nor is anything getting disrupted in my activities. Instead I am free, I am free from unexpected, unusual, and some unnecessary demands from many.

"Osoba koja je postigla samorealizaciju i dalje može da se suočava sa teškim situacijama, ali će ostati neuznemirena, spokojna", Svami Satjananda Giri.Svami Satjananda Giri, ostvareni majstor krija joge, rođen je u porodici pobožnih roditelja 1896. godine. Krenuo je u doživotnu potragu za duhovnim prosvetljenjem, što ga je dovelo do njegovog gurua. Iniciran u Krija jogu od strane Svamija Šrijuktešvara, posvetio se meditaciji i služenju. Vođen Paramahamsom Joganandom, igrao je ključnu ulogu u širenju Krija joge, privlačeći pažnju velikih duhovnika kao što su Mahatma Gandi i Ramana Maharši. Osnovavši misiju Sevajatan Satsang, služio je siromašnima sve do svoje smrti 1971. godine, ostavljajući iza sebe naslijeđe dubokog duhovnog iskustva i nesebične odanosti čovječanstvu. #kriyayoga #krijajoga #kriyayogamontenegro #kriyayogainternational #meditation #meditacija #joga #yoga #paramahamsahariharananda #paramahamsaprajnanananda
Outer and Inner silence If you want to practice silence, you should understand the different kinds of silence. Silence can be outer or external silence, or silence can be inner or internal silence. It is very easy to observe external silence: "I will not speak." Sometimes at residential spiritual programs, people wear a sign saying, "In Silence." External silence means not speaking. It refers to speech. When silence is external, one does not communicate. Excerpt from In The Temple of Silence by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda Silence isn't just golden; it is divine.

"Moja draga braćo i sestre, zapamtite ovo iznova i iznova: morate praktikovati kriju s ljubavlju, u skladu sa svojim mogućnostima. To je put da se pređe okean svijeta. Skrštenih ruku, ponizno recite ovo svima", Sanjal Mahasaja Bupendranat. Sanjal Mahasaja Bupendranat (1877-1962), kasnije poznat kao Sanjal Mahasaja bio je iniciran u Krija jogu u šesnaestoj godini od strane velikog majstora Lahirija Mahasaje. Bio je toliko iskren i predan praksi Krija joge da je brzo napredovao do viših tehnika i iskustava. Ovo je inspirisalo njegovog Gurudeva da mu dozvoli da inicira druge u Krija jogu. Ostvarivši stanje samospoznaje 1902. godine, bio je široko obožavan kao potpuno ostvaren jogi. #kriyayoga #krijajoga #kriyayogamontenegro #kriyayogainternational #meditation #meditacija #joga #yoga #paramahamsahariharananda #paramahamsaprajnanananda

„Kada životinja koja je mesožder pronađe plijen, ona hrabro zgrabi plijen i pohlepno pije krv koja je zapljuskuje. Na drugoj strani, biljojed odbija svoju prirodnu hranu, ostavljajući je netaknutom ako je poprska čak i malo krvi. Kod ljudi nalazimo da ne mogu da podnesu čak ni prizor ubijanja životinja. Zato se uvijek preporučuje da klanice budu udaljene od gradova. Da li može onda meso da se smatra prirodnom hranom čovjeka, kada mu se i oči i nos toliko protive, osim ako ga ne zavaraju ukusi začina, soli i šećera", Svami Šri Juktešvar. Šri Juktešvar Giri (1855-1936) je monaško ime Prija Nath Karara, indijskog monaha i jogija koji je bio direktni učenik Lahirija Mahasaje, i guru Paramahanse Joganande, Svamija Satjanande Girija i Paramahamse Hariharanande, između ostalih.

Emotional Silence People become silent as a result of anger or from affection and attachment. Silence due to anger and unhappiness is common in family and social life. When a mother is upset, she might tell her child to be quiet, but it is for correction. People with intense anger sometimes cannot communicate properly and burn within like a furnace. This anger is very destructive. It affects our health as well as the environment. Excerpt from In The Temple of Silence by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda Silence isn't just golden; it is divine.

„Čak i u svijetu, jogi koji vjerno izvršava svoje obaveze, bez ličnog motiva ili vezanosti, korača sigurnim putem ka prosvetljenju“, Mahavatar Babađi. Ne postoje istorijski zapisi koji se odnose na rođenje i život Mahavatara Babađija. Paramahansa Jogananda je napisao u "Autobiografiji jednog jogija" da je besmrtni avatar boravio neizreciv broj godina u udaljenim himalajskim regionima Indije, otkrivajući se samo rijetko nekolicini blagoslovenih. Mahavatar Babadji je taj koji je u ovom dobu oživio izgubljenu tehniku meditacije Krija joge. Dajući inicijaciju u kriju svom učeniku Lahiriju Mahasaji, Babadji je rekao: „Krija joga koju dajem svijetu kroz tebe u ovom devetnaestom vijeku je oživljavanje iste nauke koju je Krišna dao milenijumima ranije Arđuni.” #kriyayoga #krijajoga #kriyayogamontenegro #kriyayogainternational #meditation #meditacija #joga #yoga #paramahamsahariharananda #paramahamsaprajnanananda
„Praktikovanje Krija joge otvara Oko Mudrosti“, Lahiri Mahasaja. Majstor joge i učenik velikog Mahavatara Babađija, Lahiri Mahasaja (1828 - 1895) danju je živio kao računovođa i porodičan čovjek, a noći je provodio poučavajući svoje učenike. Zaslužan je za oživljavanje Krija joge u modernom dobu, drevne tehnike meditacije koju su ranije poznavali samo ljudi najvišeg duhovnog ranga. Sada, zahvaljući njemu, svi iskreni duhovni tragaoci mogu da uče i praktikuju ovu svetu nauku. #kriyayoga #krijajoga #kriyayogamontenegro #kriyayogainternational #meditation #meditacija #joga #yoga #paramahamsahariharananda #paramahamsaprajnanananda
In Kriya Yoga, we are taught to keep the tongue in a proper place so we cannot talk. When we do not speak, we become wise. We are easily judged by the words we use. The face is the index of a person; words are the index of our education. If someone eats garlic, its smell is emitted with their speech. Similarly, when we speak, our inner feelings emerge. Excerpt from In The Temple of Silence by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda Silence isn't just golden; it is divine. Silence is inherently sacred. It is multidimensional, vast, and eternal. Unfortunately, in our social media-driven lives most of us know little about it. In the outer world, silence can lead us to better communication skills and stronger relationships. In the inner world, it can lead us to communion with God. There is no greater teacher than silence. In the holy classroom of silence, all of life's secrets are revealed.

We need to discipline our tongues. When we entertain our tongues with food at any time or at any place, we are inviting sickness into our lives and preparing ourselves for a few more births. Those who speak less, work more; those who talk more, work less. Those who really love to work have no time to talk. Those who love to talk have no time to work. Those with more focused minds work efficiently. They forget other things. In spiritual life we must apply self-discipline when it comes to talking. If I should read, I will read; I will not talk.

When Should We Be Silent? Silence is the method that shapes our lives, characters, and personalities. In modern times many people believe that we should be outspoken, smart, and communicative, but I believe we should speak intelligently, carefully, and cautiously. In Indian culture, silence is very strictly observed. In many orthodox families, you cannot speak while eating, you cannot talk during puja (temple service), and you cannot talk when you study.

Life is a gift from God. God has given us human bodies. God has given us ten sense organs and four inner instruments, which should be used properly and meaningfully. We are intelligent. Those who practice Kriya Yoga meditation are taught that we are all the living power of God and we should utilize every sense organ moderately and with self-control. Let us keep our tongues under control, observe silence, talk less, speak slowly and truthfully, speak lovingly, and not bring ego into our lives. If we are practicing yoga, we must discipline ourselves. We should think, speak, and work with love in God consciousness.

One day a few monks from other ashrams visited our our ashram, Hariharananda Gurukulam in India, where more than two hundred people were in attendance in a meditation class. The monks could not believe that more than two hundred people were meditating with "pin-drop" silence. Through the windows they saw the people sitting silently. They were extremely happy. When they were about to leave, they all said, "This is the best ashram. We never imagined there could be so many people sitting in complete silence."

Practical Silence There are different kinds of silence, such as outer and inner silence, and different ways of maintaining silence. There is also communication in silence. When we speak less, only when necessary, and in a soft and gentle manner, people will listen to us. It is an effective way to help others and get our point across. This is practical silence.

Some people are on the spiritual path, but there is no real change. True spiritual life is for bringing change in your life. You should observe your inner change, the change in your thoughts and feelings. Do you choose what you think, or do you simply go with the stream's current with no control over your thinking? Do you choose what to speak, or do you say whatever comes to your mind? Do you choose how to lead your life, or does it move forward as if you you have no control over it? What kind of life will you live? Excerpt from In The Temple of Silence by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda Silence isn't just golden; it is divine. Silence is inherently sacred.

Modern life has given us much comfort, but modern life has also made us extrovert and wayward; we are not serious or sincere in our practice. People no longer want serious philosophical thinking. They want to indulge in trivial thinking, joyful and humorous topics. They do not want to go deep within. Spiritual life is becoming a part-time relaxing entertainment. Some people attend a spiritual program anticipating that there should be a little singing and a little humorous talk. As soon as some serious discussion begins, their minds become somber and their faces become a little long. A little humor, a few jokes --- this is not spiritual life.

"I will not do this; I will not do this." "I will not eat it; I will not eat it." "I will not speak; I will not speak." "I will not allow any thought to manifest. I will keep my mind clean; I will keep my mind clean." Do we have that willpower? Do we have the power within to completely control our minds? Is the mind tussling with us? Many times and at many places I have seen, even after meditation class, people immediately return to gossiping, idle chatter, or reading messages on their cell phones. How strange!

Having Discipline In Modern Life A problem in human life is that we do not try to be quiet, silent, or tranquil from within. We need a determined resolve: "I will not allow any thought to arise. My mind is my mind; it is completely under my control. I will not allow any thoughts." In modern times spirituality has become a form of luxury, a sort of entertainment, a casual discipline, and it is not taken seriously. To be truly spiritual, to be honest with yourself, it requires a strictly disciplined life. Excerpt from In The Temple of Silence by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda Silence isn't just golden; it is divine.

Everyday during sleep we become silent, knowingly or unknowingly; it is as if we are taking a vow of silence. At that time there is no talking, no thoughts, and no dreams. It is an unknown, unconscious way of becoming silent. But in spirituality we learn to be consciously silent. In satsanga and chanting, if we are engrossed, we are observing silence. If we are reading an interesting book and we forget everything else, this is also a type of silence.

Taking a Vow of Silence Silence is practiced in many religions, especially in those that originated in India. The practice of silence is called maunavrata (the vow of silence). One who practices this is called maunavrati or mauni in short. During a vow of silence, many rules must be followed. People undertake the vow for a specific period of time or for their entire life. In India the silent sadhus are called Mauni Baba. Excerpt from In The Temple of Silence by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda Silence isn't just golden; it is divine. Silence is inherently sacred.

Silence and Its Classification Silence makes a person serene and sublime. Silence is the real beauty in everything. The silence of the morning makes us reflective. Silence opens the door to peace and happiness. Silence is the secret of spiritual progress. In many public places a sign says, "Silence Please," because people will chatter when they are together. Around schools and hospitals, "Drive Slow" and "Silence Zone" signs are posted. In modern times our vehicles disturb the silence in an environment. Traffic noise is a big problem for birds to communicate with each other. Excerpt from In The Temple of Silence by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda Silence isn't just golden; it is divine.

Cultivating silence with love and devotion is a special path that leads to spirituality. Observing regular silence helps us to enter a state of deep stillness, whether we are meditating or performing actions to live and serve in the world. Day and night, we must seek silence and seclusion. Actions in silence speak more than words.

"Otkrijte da su vaše tijelo, mozak i čakre glavni Božji darovi čovječanstvu", Paramahamsa Prajnanananda. Paramahamsa Prajnanananda, prvobitno Triloki Daš, je ostvareni majstor krija joge i trenutni duhovni lider u liniji prosvjetljenih majstora Krija joge. Porijeklom je iz Orise u Indiji, gdje je njegovo duhovno putovanje počelo u djetinjstvu. Iniciran u Kriju jogu od svog gurua Paramahamse Hariharanande dok je još bio na koledžu, posvetio se molitvi i meditaciji. Zamonašen je 1995. godine. Njegov guru mu je povjerio da širi kriju širom svijeta, misiju koju je žarko prihvatio. Dobio je titulu paramahamse 1998. godine, nastavivši misiju svog gurua kroz brojne inicijative. #kriyayoga #krijajoga #kriyayogamontenegro #kriyayogainternational #meditation #meditacija #joga #yoga #paramahamsahariharananda #paramahamsaprajnanananda
"Posmatraj Boga u svakom dahu, ljubi Boga u svakom dahu, zahvaljuj Bogu u svakom dahu", Paramahamsa Hariharananda. Paramahamsa Hariharananda, ostvareni majstor Krija joge rođen kao Rabindranat Bhatačarja 1907. godine, pokazao je izuzetnu duhovnu snagu od ranog djetinjstva u Bengalu, Indiji. Pod vođstvom prosvjetljenih majstora krija joge kao što su Svami Šri Juktešvar, Paramahamsa Jogananda, Sanjal Mahasaja Bupendranat i Svami Satjananda Giri ušao je duboko u jogijske prakse, savladavajući Krija jogu i postižući duboka stanja samadija. Prihvatajući poziv da krija jogu širi širom svijeta, osnovao je centre širom kontinenata, stekavši titulu „Baba“ među svojim učenicima. Njegovo opsežno poznavanje religioznih spisa i metaforičkih tumačenja osvijetlilo je put ka spoznaji Boga nebrojenim tragaocima. Transformativna učenja Paramahamse Hariharanande nastavljaju da inspirišu preko njegovog naslednika, Paramahamse Prajnananande, koji održava njegovo naslijeđe duhovnog prosvetljenja širom svijeta. #kriyayoga #krijajoga #kriyayogamontenegro #kriyayogainternational #meditation #meditacija #joga #yoga #paramahamsahariharananda #paramahamsaprajnanananda
"Kada sjedite u tišini duboke meditacije, radost koja izbija iznutra, nije podstaknuta sa nikakvim spoljašnjim stimulusom. Radost istinske meditacije je neodoljiva. Oni koji nisu otišli u tišinu istinske meditacije ne znaju šta je prava radost", Paramahamsa Jogananda. Paramahamsa Jogananda, rođen kao Mukunda Lal Goš 1893. godine, ispunio je proročanstvo duhovnih majstora krija joge da će postati poput svetionika božanske mudrosti. Odgajan u duboko duhovnom okruženju, njegova žarka ljubav prema Bogu procvjetala je od ranog djetinjstva, vodeći ga ka putu Krija joge. Sa dinamičnom ličnošću i dubokim duhovnim iskustvima, širio je učenja Krija joge na Zapadu, očaravajući srca miliona. Njegov susret sa velikim ličnostima i duhovnicima kao što su Ramana Maharši i Mahatma Gandi dodatno je učvrstilo njegovu duhovnu misiju. Joganandino trajno naslijeđe živi kroz njegova monumentalna djela i čudesni život, inspirišući tragaoce širom svijeta ka putu božanske realizacije. #kriyayoga #krijajoga #kriyayogamontenegro #kriyayogainternational #meditation #meditacija #joga #yoga #paramahamsahariharananda #paramahamsaprajnanananda
Individual and Group Practice There are two kinds of spiritual practices: group practice and individual practice. Silence can be practiced in a group or individually. In group practice we sit down together, listen to spiritual talks, meditate, chant, or sing together, eat food together, and so on. It is done in a group, but silence is maintained. You can also practice silence as an individual while in a group. When you are visiting a spiritual place, and you want to observe silence, nobody will disturb you. This is one opportunity. Make your life self-disciplined through right understanding and joyfully practicing the art of living. Life will be more beautiful, and your mind will be more peaceful. Excerpt from In The Temple of Silence by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda Silence isn't just golden; it is divine. Silence is inherently sacred. It is multidimensional, vast, and eternal. Unfortunately, in our social media-driven lives most of us know little about it. In the outer world, silence can lead us to better communication skills and stronger relationships. In the inner world, it can lead us to communion with God. There is no greater teacher than silence. In the holy classroom of silence, all of life's secrets are revealed. In this amazing, one-of-a-kind book Paramahamsa Prajnanananda teaches us the importance and impact of practicing silence. Few of us realize the value of silence, how it can lead to self-mastery, and how it can accelerate spiritual growth. Practicing silence is not escapism; it connects us to life at its deepest level. When we enter the temple of silence, we are not escaping from life; instead, we are learning how to live to the fullest. https://kriya.org/sharethis/product/0ff39bbbf981ac0151d340c9aa40e63e/books/en . . . . . #Prajnanananda #Hariharananda #KriyaYoga #Guruji #KriyaYogaInternational #ParamahamsaHariharananda #ParamahamsaPrajnanananda #yogaindailylife #meditation #loveGod #Kriya #ParamahansaYogananda #Yogananda #KYIO #spirituality #yoga
"Zaboravite prošlost. Prošli životi svih ljudi su mračni, sa mnogo srama. Ljudsko ponašanje je nepouzdano dokle god se u potpunosti ne usidri u božanskom. Sve će se u budućnosti poboljšati ako sada činite duhovne napore", Swami Šri Juktešvar. Šri Juktešvar Giri (1855-1936) je monaško ime Prija Nath Karara, indijskog monaha i jogija koji je bio direktni učenik Lahirija Mahasaje, i guru Paramahanse Joganande, Svamija Satjanande Girija i Paramahamse Hariharanande, između ostalih. Rođen u Seramporeu, Zapadnom Bengalu, Šri Juktešvar je bio veliki majstor krija joge, astrolog, i veliki poznavalac Bhagavad Gite i Upanišada. #kriyayoga #krijajoga #kriyayogamontenegro #kriyayogainternational #meditation #meditacija #joga #yoga #paramahamsahariharananda #paramahamsaprajnanananda
