Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda:Train your mind to focus on God...


"Train your mind to focus on God, train your mind to focus on your Self. Take any divine name, take any divine aspect and keep chanting the name till you realize that you are one with this name. It’s not a name apart from you, but it’s the name of your own Self."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: This body will go back to earth...

"You think that you are just this body - and very often you focus only on the body- so what happens? The more you focus on the body, the more you have pain and the more you are miserable, because the reality gets covered, becomes shadowed. And when this reality gets covered, of course it brings pain. This body will go back to earth and it will go back to the same five elements it used to be. But if this is the reality, if the body is the only reality, then what is God? Where is the Divinity? This great energy that makes the body work, that makes the body act, is the Spirit and it’s who you really are."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: The same way God loves, the same way you can love also...

"When you realize that the only path is to love and to be in love continuously, you realize how much God loves His creation. The same way that God loves, the same way you can also love. All others kinds of love are secondary, because mankind is here to become Love. But to become this Love, you will first have to overcome many obstacles, because mankind thinks that Love, God is something apart from them."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: I have come to help you...

"I have come to help you, to give something, which is very simple, for attaining this state of Bliss. It’s through meditation, actually. We breathe every day so many times. How many times do we realize how important is this breath? Not many times, because it´s so normal, isn´t it? It´s a routine; it happens automatically. So if you really want to realize God, try to meditate."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: What our soul wants...

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: You have to be disciplined...


"To be good in meditation, to be good in your spiritual path, you have to be disciplined. It is not a pressure, it is not forcing. It has to come from deep within your heart. It has to be out of love."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: God is always with you...

"All your searching towards the outside is of no use, because at the end you realise that He’s always with you, deep in your heart. God is always with you. It’s like the ocean where you have lots of precious gems. To get them, you have to dive into the ocean and go deep inside. So, God lies deep in the heart of man. With your mind you have to dive, dive deep within your heart, because over all are the waves of illusion."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: Stop looking at the negative...

"Stop looking at the negative. It’s only through being positive that it can stop. It’s only when you start looking at this positivity and start thinking about yourself positively, that you will dive deep inside this ocean then your heart will open up."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: Chant his name and control the mind...


"Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, keep your mind fixed on God and chant the divine names. This will help you to open up your heart. Chanting the divine name is the most efficient way of controlling the mind. Look at any religion: Christianity does the “heart prayer”, Hinduism has the japa mala, and Muslims have the rosary. So the name of God is very important, and it’s very easy and very simple. Why to complicate it? Why try to complicate things when God has given us the easiest thing? By chanting His name, you feel so close to Him."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: A master can show you the way...


"You can go to a master and the master can show you the way, but it’s upon each one of you to really desire God, to really yearn for God, because as long as you don’t yearn for God, as long as you don’t really want God, you will be always searching. You will always be putting one foot in one place and the other foot in another."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: Happiness...

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: Surrender to your path...



"When you really sincerely dedicate yourself and surrender to your path - surrender to what you really want – you will achieve your aim. The aim is to realize this love that we have inside and to become this love so completely, that every atom in your body radiate this love of God. And this love, you will spread it around always. This love is beyond everything; beyond the mind, beyond the body, even beyond the Spirit itself."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: Wherever you are, it's always through the grace of God...


"Wherever you are, it’s always through the grace of God, through the grace of Narayana that you reach your destination. You can try your best to do something - spiritual or material things - it doesn´t matter, but if your heart is not there, you will don’t have the grace of God into it and it will never work. You can try as much as possible, but as long as you have not attained the blessing of the Divine, it will always be incomplete."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: The power of the name of God is very strong...

"The power of the name of God is very strong, so: chant! You can do a lot of things, but to control the mind is the most difficult of all as long as you haven´t surrendered it, as long as you have not given it on the altar of God saying to Him, “Here, I surrender my mind to You”. But don´t just say it; mean it when you say it. And the more you mean it, the more you will see that He is right next to you. He is ever ready to pull you out of this illusion and He is giving His hand to you. His hand is always there. When you look at Jesus, His hand is always there, and he says, “Hey, I am here!” Also Narayana says, “Don’t worry, I’m here.” But you have to give your hand to them."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: OM NAMO NARAYANAYA


"The Maha Mantra: ‘Om Namo Narayanaya’, that we always chant; hides a lot into it. It’s one of the main mantras that used to be chanted and it comprises the force, the power of God, in both material and spiritual. So by chanting ‘Om Namo Narayanaya’, one will rise in gaining spirituals benefits, but when you have spirituals benefits, the Lord will take care of your materials benefits too. He will sustain you. You have to have complete trust in Him - you have to have complete trust in yourself. So develop this trust."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: Realize that the only path is to love and to be in love...


"When you realize that the only path is to love and to be in love continuously, you realize how much God loves His creation. The same way that God loves, the same way you can also love. All other kinds of love are secondary because mankind is here to become Love.

But to become this Love, you will first have to overcome many obstacles because mankind thinks that Love, God, is something apart from them."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: God is ever looking after everybody...


"God is ever looking after everybody, you have just to trust that He is looking after you, to trust that He is with you all the time, whatever you do; good or bad, He is there! And His love pervades everything. If one percentage of your heart opens up to this Divine love, it’s enough."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: Life is about realizing why you are here...


"Very often we forget about the main aim of man, we think that we are here in this world just to comb our hair nicely, to put some make up; make us beautiful or just to work and have a big house, have a big car, have a boyfriend or a girlfriend. But life is not only about that. Life is about realizing why you are here, and who you are. We have an identity in this outside world, but we don’t know who is this identity in reality."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: Everything belongs to Him...


"Very often people try to compromise with God, people try to bribe God. It is not possible...or actually; it is very easy to bribe him, you know how? You can bribe Him by loving him, by letting Him steal you heart. You see, often we approach the Divine with such a pride and in an egoistic way. We think that we can give Him everything, forgetting that everything belongs to Him already, and that the only thing, that we can give to Him, is our heart."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: You will leave everything here...


"We always say this is ‘our’, this is ‘mine’, we always say that we posses things.

Everything that you took, you took it from here and when you will go, you will leave everything here.”

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: purify yourself...


"As long as you are stuck in the mind and don’t purify the mind, this love will never shine. You will never realize this love. Even if you think you know it, because you have read about it, or somebody has told you about it, or Swami has said it, but as long as you don’t purify your mind, as long as you don´t purify yourself… it will be difficult to realize this love."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: Humility...


"It’s easy to talk about humility, but sometimes difficult to practice, because we are so bound by our pride which perceives us to be above everybody else. If we really want to change something, if we really want to let go of this pride, it will happen."

You think that you are just this body - and very often you focus only on the body- so, what happen? The more you focus on the body, the more you have pain and the more you are miserable because the reality gets covered, becomes shadowed. And when this reality gets covered, of course it brings pain."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda:Why it is so difficult to control the mind...

"Why is this mind always troubling us?Why is it so difficult to let it go?The answer to that is:We like our limitation.We like to limit ourselves and we like to dance on this limitation.That’s how,when we analyze ourselves,we see our own limitation.But yet,deep inside ourselves there is another voice that says:“Hey you have to wake up.There is something greater than that.”

But yet,the limitation of the mind shows that…“that’s it”.We are in our own game and we don’t want to jump out.It is,like we are caging ourselves like an animal and we run from one side to the other.Then we are back again to the same place.Like that we let our mind darken our true Self."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda:The first thought in the morning...

"The first thought that passes through your mind in the morning is your programme of the day.You think“What will I do today and then you carry on.The day automatically rolls accordingly to what you have thought in the morning,because in the morning,the mind has rested and the power,all the thoughts have been gathered together and focussed on one point–the moment you open your eyes,the moment it comes into action,that reaction makes your day.But in the morning if you wake up you saying”Oh my goodness I have a headache,even if you don’t have a headache,you have headache"
