10th World Channels Day

A Report on the 10th World Channels Day – by Mr. Manoj Chopra

All revolutions start with one person. Revolution by Light was started by Guruji Krishnananda on May 18, 2008. It is a Spiritual Revolution. Spiritual Revolutions are always silent and kept away from publicity deliberately. A few individuals took the initiative of spreading the awareness of Light Channelling by directly contacting people and groups. They gathered and after channeling Light for some time, began this work. This work got momentum when we began teaching Light Channelling to schoolchildren in 2009. From 2011 onwards, we started celebrating World Channels Day every year. It is the Day of spreading Love, Peace, and Harmony.
10th World Channels Day was yet another effort to generate a wave of Peace in the world marred by turmoil. It was a disciplined effort of more than 150 Volunteers. Planning for 10th World Channels Day started on 25th December 2019. Area Coordinators started working on finalizing the plan in their respective areas. Work was delegated to Volunteers according to their availability and time. Some of the senior Volunteers were given more responsibility.
In the first week of January 2020, most of the teams finalized their plans and started working on it. Our Volunteers visited more than 1000 schools and informed the school authorities about the World Channels Day. They were requested to join us on this Day by organizing Light Channelling in their schools. Most of the schools happily accepted our request and promised to join us on the World Channels Day. Request letters were posted to several far-off schools. Hundreds of schools were called upon telephonically and were informed about the World Channels Day. Response from school authorities was incredible as they were waiting for this opportunity. Whenever our Volunteers visited the schools, they were given warm welcome. They were offered beverages and even breakfast or lunch sometimes.
10th World Channels Day was a grand success. Avery peaceful Day started at 6 am with prayers to our Masters followed by 7 minutes of Light Channelling. Between 7am and 11am thousands of Light Channelling sessions were conducted all over India. Several afternoon sessions and evening sessions were also conducted by our Volunteers. The Day concluded around 6.30 pm after an evening session was conducted by the Pune team in a college.
It is astonishing to know that our dedicated Volunteers conducted sessions in more than 300 schools and close to 2 lakhs children channelled Light in those sessions. It is also heartening to note that apart from these 2 lakh children, more than 8 lakhs children from over 2000 schools also channelled Light in sessions conducted by schools themselves. More than 1 million children and adults from over 2300 schools and institutes channelled Light. Light Channelling sessions were conducted in Bangalore, Tumkur, Chennai, Madurai, Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam, Udaipur, Mumbai, Pune, Sangli, Amarvati and different parts of India.
Swamy Vivekananda’s words are perfect for our Light Channelling work. He had said, “We need infinite energy, infinite zeal, infinite courage, and infinite patience, and then only great things will be achieved.” Our Volunteers have all these. They have amazing Love for work, which is helping us to spread this Movement year after year in spite of challenges.
We thank all children, adults, school authorities and all Light channels that supported us in our effort to make this world a peaceful place.

The 7 Laws & Ways of Light

The 7 Laws & Ways of Light – by Guruji Krishnananda

We know that Light is Love, Light is Wisdom, Light is Peace. Light has Healing powers. To this we shall add one more very important factor - Light has abundance. Carry more Light; you will have more abundance. Abundance need not necessarily mean material and money. There is also an abundance of love, peace etc.

There are 7 laws of Light. The first law is, experience the Light in the inner core, within the system.

The second law is, connect to the greater core, God Himself.

The third law is, connect to everyone and everything, experience Oneness. When we speak of oneness it is not only the oneness amongst the human beings but with all life animate and inanimate. It is only when we experience this kind of Oneness, it is complete.

The fourth law is, spreading Light. It is one of the laws of Light. If you receive Light, you have to spread it. If we receive knowledge we have to spread it.

The fifth law is, manifesting Light.

The sixth law is, to carry Light always. When we carry Light always, we will never behave like ordinary human beings. We behave like the citizens of the future Age, the Light Age. We behave like God Himself.

And the seventh law is, become #Light.
There are 7 ways of Light - being calm and contented; accepting the imperfections around us, in individuals, in the world; being non-aggressive; being good, simple and truthful; celebrating life; sharing the material abundance; and also sharing the abundance of love, peace, knowledge.

Awaken to many Realities – by Guruji Krishnananda
(Source – From Book – Guruji Speaks Volume 5)
We have to awaken to many Truths, many Realities. We have to awaken from ignorance. Sometimes people say that in Hinduism there are so many gods. All these gods do exist. Lord Mahavishnu is in-charge of Life and Life Forces. Lord Shiva is in-charge of the forces of destruction. Lord Brahma is in-charge of creation. And hordes of gods assist these processes.
All gods/deities are manifestations from a single God. There is one God. And here, on this earth, we can imagine Him to be Light. And from that Light all these emanations, all these manifestations came forth. God is energy. God is Light. And God is omnipresent. Everyone has to awaken to the Truth that there is only one God and all others are manifestations.
People have to awaken to the reality that the idols represent gods or deities. A god or deity is energy. The idol carries these energies. Idols are to be worshipped, no doubt, but they themselves are not the deity. Usually, the field of energy is under the ground, beneath the idol. Only a small quantity of energy is present in the idol.
Once we tried to worship Lord Shiva in Nandi Hills. We were told the energies are so huge that the entire hill carries those energies. So, the energies are under the ground and they are the deity, not just the idol.
We have to awaken to the fact that we have to go beyond ritualistic worship or Pooja. Poojas are good, but again we have to go beyond. While performing Pooja we consciously remain distant and distinct from God. When I worship and He gets worshipped, there is duality; there is distance. We have to go beyond this. There are still higher ways of Poojas and worship.
Pooja is a form of expression of our Love and respect. In Meditation, the expression reaches its maximum. We surrender to Him. We merge with Him. That is the highest form of expression of Love.
We are aware of Papa and Punya (merits and demerits). But Punya does not take us to Mukti. A good deed or Karma will give us a good effect, that’s all. Punyas take us only to heaven, not to Mukti. This does not mean that we should not do good deeds but we must know and clearly realize that putting a huge amount in a hundi (donation box) does not help us in attaining Mukti. These are simple Truths. They do not need any explanation.
We cannot appease gods by Shanti Homas or Mantras. Gods do not accept bribes and keep quiet. Most importantly, God is not pleased when we suffer. Some people pierce their tongues and cheeks with needles, etc. Those who do such acts think that God is pleased. God will never appreciate such things. You do not have to suffer. You do not have to even fast to please Him. God is not pleased by these ways.
We must awaken to the reality that God is everywhere, in and around. All that is required is a connection from our pure heart. We have to awaken to this reality. Accept this and begin living accordingly. Interact with God who is everywhere.

Manifesting Consciously

Manifesting Consciously
(Based on the teachings of Guruji Krishnananda)

We all are concerned about our Spiritual progress. The Rishis (Light Masters) want all of you to rise to their level. They are concerned about your Spiritual progress.

They observe and say that though we are making progress, it is very slow and it is not enough.

How can we grow faster?

The Rishis say, “We are not consciously manifesting love.”

We are not consciously manifesting all that we experience in our Meditation. When we meditate, we experience peace, stillness, bliss and love; we experience the Divine. This is the first part of our Sadhana (Spiritual effort).

The second and the most important part of Sadhana is to manifest all this in our living. Only when we manifest them we get tuned to the Divine.

When we are in tune with the Divine we live in harmony with the world; we do not make mistakes and we will always be positive. We remain in a heightened state all the time.

Spiritual pursuit is not one hour of daily meditation. It is manifesting the Divine 24 hours a day.

In the beginning this may seem very difficult because we get involved in the business of life.

When you begin the day, fill yourself with Love. Throughout the day, be conscious of the Love in you and it will keep flowing out from you even when you are working. Whenever you get a break from work, think of the love flowing from within.

Without manifesting the Divine transformation cannot occur.

What will save our world?

What will save our world?
(Based on the teachings of Guruji Krishnananda)

“Who or what will save the world?” Someone asked this very interesting question.

The one-word answer to this question is,Love. It is love that saves the world.

What is the source of this love?

Us. It has to come from us. So, it is WE who can save the world. Of course, God helps when we manifest love. But the main players are us, the citizens of this world.

Incidentally, I saw in the newspaper, a photo of a blind man struggling to open a tap to drink water. Also in the photo was a monkey helping the blind man open the tap!

That was very touching. There is so much of love in the Universe. If we all could have the love that the monkey had, that would be enough. There will be absolutely no destruction and no suffering on this earth.

Sadly, we do not carry such love. Instead, we generally carry a lot of non-love, which is why we attract so much of pain. People’s collective non-love can cause great destruction.

Some individuals do carry a lot of love but that is not enough to balance all the non-love on this earth. If there were enough love in this world, there would be no wars, no terrorism and no need for the military.

That is the challenge; to carry love always and to consciously manifest love in every thought, in every emotion and in every act. In addition to this, we must hunt for every trace of non-love within us and remove it. If we try it, we realise that it is not very difficult.

Being spiritual is not about having powers. It is being good, honest and manifesting genuine love for the fellow human being and nature.

The Universe is waiting for us to return to our original state of goodness. Such goodness will save the world.

A Touching Experience

A Touching Experience
(Based on the teachings of Guruji Krishnananda)

A lady took a taxi to come to Taponagara. The taxi driver told her that the place is very far and asked for quite a large amount of money. After travelling a short distance, she realised that the place was quite nearby, and that the taxi driver had taken her for a ‘ride’.

She told him that he was overcharging her, but he did not relent. They had an argument and he was very tough with her. She then told him in a very gentle way, “What you are doing is not good. If you had asked for more money, I would have given it to you with great love.”

When she arrived, she paid him what he had asked for, and the taxi went away.

After about 30 minutes, the taxi driver came back and returned the excess money he had charged. Overwhelmed, she thanked him and asked him to keep the money. He said, “How can I take it?” and left.

What made him do this?

We must understand that the Divine Essence is in everyone, which we call Conscience. This Divine Essence in him got stirred somehow.

Conscience works in everyone but most people suppress it. Conscience always works and shows us the right way but most don’t listen to it maybe because of the stress of living in this competitive world.

The taxi driver’s conscience must have been telling him right from the beginning that what he was doing was wrong. He was a good man and he finally responded to it.

We usually presume that people are bad; we should not do it. Everyone is good at the core. They only need to listen to their conscience and follow it.

Surrender

Surrender – Based on the teachings of Guruji Krishnananda

A spiritual seeker asked me this question, “While living in this world is surrender possible?”

Here is my answer:

It is possible. In fact we find opportunities to surrender only when we live in this world.

Surrender is total acceptance at all levels.

There are several aspects to surrender. Before surrender, there is unconditional love and complete trust. We trust others deeply, when we relate to them at the soul level.

Trust and faith can only be total, they cannot be partial. We either have faith or we don’t have faith.

A soul is a Divine Spark, a speck of Light. When we relate to each other at the level of the soul, we trust completely.

When we trust others completely, we surrender to the Light in them. When we truly surrender, there will be a reciprocation from the others. We relate to them at the deepest level.

Such relationships are genuine and permanent.

We can extend this to the greater Light, the Ocean of Light or God Himself.

When we love and trust God completely, we can surrender to Him. And when we surrender to God, we will be automatically aligned with Him.

When we accept and surrender to God, our entire living will be guided at all levels by Him. He also monitors and protects us because we accept Him totally.

Even in human love, there is trust, acceptance and surrender. Without surrender, true love is not possible.

So, while living in this world, surrender is possible.
