Welcome to Samata Samashti Dharma
Message from Swami Durgananda
The season of spring has now arrived in our part of the world heralding a promise of new beginnings in all aspects of life. I have just returned from my country retreat where I have spent time watching the newborn lambs frolicking in the green pastures, so like small children, unaware of what adventures the world holds for them.
We who are seekers of truth sometimes forget the joys of our spiritual journey and become what I call a weary traveler, feeling as though there is no wonder and light in our world. You are wrong, there is; it is only that you have forgotten how to find love and joy in the smaller everyday events of life.
Sometimes our practice and thinking becomes bogged down with habit and repetition, that we feel there is nothing new, no miracle to give a lift to our thinking. Now with spring in the air it is a time no longer of reflection and withdrawal, it is a time to move forward, a time to release all the negativity you feel and step briskly on the path of self realisation.
Remember the only element holding you back is you. Time now for new thinking and renewed vigor, be not afraid take my hand and allow me to guide you further in your spiritual quest.
Swami Durgananda
