Hari Om Yogishri🙏🙏🙏 Thank you Guruji for this week’s wonderful discourse. Pranams Swamiji🙏🙏 When we have deeper penetrative capacity, we can go into deep meditation by looking into any object. The experiences we have gone through/going through will have value only when we learn lessons from those experiences for our evolvement and growth both worldly and spiritually. We should never indulge nor frustrate us and follow the middle path in all our experiences and in a meditative approach. When we practice this knowledge, we will get the best of best in both in the world and spirituality. We should go through our experiences with full awareness and consciousness, that is actually living this life with dignity as a human being. What actually matters in our life is the Spiritual wealth/wisdom we gain through our experiences. When we reach the meditative stage in all of our experiences, we can start choosing our experiences in order to exhaust our Vasanas and keep moving forward. We need to gain wisdom of our life through our regular sadhana and the weekly discourses. Only when we are prepared, we can gain wisdom from our master. Only with the guidance of Guru we can gain the highest experience and become one with the INFINITE. Thanks again Yogishri for this week’s amazing and deep meditation session and installing subtler Sadhana aspects in to our deeper and sub-conscious minds🙏🙏🙏
Humble pranams,Yogishri🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Thanks for this wonderful,powerful session followed by installing the most important principle or purpose of my life in the meditation. Bhogan - Experience, food,wealth & possession, enjoyments I have to go through each experience with full awareness, be present fully and learn from each experience. Never worry about the past. My present life says much about my past behaviours and patterns. Keep on going through each experience and correct my mistakes then and there. I will be given infinite experiences to learn and elevate myself.Awareness leads to detachment and having detached I can be more aware. Detachment and awareness are like cycles repeating itself. Food - spiritual food. What I consume through each experience. Over eating and under eating lead to diseases. Indulgence vs denial lead to problems. Take the middle path. Wealth & Possession- what will I take with me after i die. Only the knowledge and ignorance to my next birth. I will surely get external wealth to enjoy various material benefits and comforts ,no doubt , but that won’t come with me. Real spiritual wisdom is the inner wealth that I will carry birth after birth. Enjoyments - joy and sorrow are 2 sides of the coin. Joy will excite me ,make me jump and sorrow will depress me ,make me sink. That is the power of maya. I have to be balanced in both these situations as both are teaching me higher wisdom. An experience of sorrow can teach me what thousands of bookish knowledge cannot teach.A yogi remains cantered. Life is a series of experiences between birth and death. Learn,learn,learn from each experience,gain awareness, uplift my consciousness higher and higher until i reach the infinite. Every experience if I go fully has the potential to reveal the infinite wisdom. I should not waste this precious human birth( yet another time) which has been bestowed upon me. Guru is my guide, my friend, my inner Shakti who has come to release me of all my bondages and unite me with my original source. Thank you soooo much ,Yogishri, Today’s session is the best session for me for this year 2024 as I am able to understand it thoroughly. Thanks for showing the path to the infinite. I will follow your instructions to experience life moment by moment and keep on correcting and uplifting myself. Ananta koti pranams, to you, Yogishri 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Happy new year ,2025,Yogishri and all other sadhaks😊
Hari Om Yogishri !! Thank You so much on the powerful discourse on the deeper principles of Bogha The only permanent wealth a human can possess is the wisdom which he or she has gained from his life. The more and more he acquires , the more and more he grows. Our lives have been filled with infinite amount of experiences, which is meant to experienced in a certain way, instead we are exactly doing the opposite of it. Every experience in our life is meant to teach us something which has to be learnt in order to evolve spiritually. The leanings from our experiences are considered to be our spiritual food. It helps us get all the inner nutrients to lead a complete life. Not only that it is also considered to be the greatest inner wealth which one can acquire. As said by the great masters, the only possession one can own after leaving the body is the wisdom gained throughout one's life. So as sadhaks we need to start learning from each and every experience which the nature puts us in. The principle of eternal learning is the key to achieve the highest of self realization. The practice ground for this is our own life experiences. This practice helps say stay centered which also promotes enjoying life in an detached way. Bogha also means enjoyment. When we start enjoying each and every experience of our life, then there is no question of incompleteness or lacuna in our lives. Thank you so much once again for everything Yogishri 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Humble Pranaams
Hari Om Yogishri Thank you so much for today's Sadhana and discourse. From today I understood that each and every experience can be used as a sadhana to deeply reflect and understand like the pages of a book. Bhogan means experience (following the middle path amongst the extremes), eating (gaining nutrition), enjoyment and suffering (learning lessons) and wealth/possessions (knowledge and ignorance). The emphasis is birth after birth we do the same thing, so as you said, now and then nature gives the choice to move ahead and learn and evolve. The word Dwandwa is used in the context of life as life itself manifests as two extremes. Thank you so much. Warm regards, Subramanyan
Hari om guruji... Bhoogaha means experience, enjoyment and also sadness. We have joy and also sadness in our life which teaches us many things. We have to choose spiritual bhoogaha in our life. Thank you guruji... Pranams...
Hari 🕉 Yogishri 🙏🙏🙏 Tasmai Shri Guruvey Namaha 🙏🙏🙏 Thankyou for a very powerful session Yogishri. ***Your whole personality gets trapped in the experiences of ife…and you don't have time to ask what lesson this experience is teaching me? The flow is v.rapid and your entire personality is caught up and no time to ask any higher questions in life. You will have to convert every experience into spiritual experience by taking the middle path - neither indulgence or escapism. Develop this meditative approach..whatever you do, do it with full awareness, in a meditative way. Our Soul expands with the experiences of life..not mechanically but go through every experience with awareness, in a detached way and learn from every experience…gain the spiritual wisdom which is the real source of security and joy. Deeply grateful for the divine guidance,wisdom and healing meditation. 🕉 Shri Gurubhyo Namaha.🙏🙏🙏 Your humble Sadhak
Hari OM Guruji 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼. Thank you for yet another inspiring session and explaining no the importance of staying in the middle path and doing our daily Sadhana which together will make us gain the knowledge/wisdom from our everyday/moment life’s experiences and grow spiritually within…. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 When you look at the world in a meditative way you will find that every experience will have the potential to teach you the ancient wisdom. You need to do Sadhana and develop that meditativeness (meditative approach towards life) only then you become a Sadhak - Seeker. When experiences keep coming an going in your life your mind gets caught up in it and your personality gets trapped as the flow of experiences is vast/rapid - that is the nature of Bhohaga. Bhogaha - experience - the very nature of it is to get you trapped in the experience… so you need to convert it to Ishta Bhogaha. So you need to take the middle path in all your experiences…. In order to be in the middle path you need to develop this meditative approach. Whatever you are doing, do it with full consciousness/awareness/in a meditative way. Every Sunday sessions should help you practice the Yogic approach, so it becomes a part of your nature. The moment you adopt this middle path - the moment you are completely centered, and you go through an experience - that experience will unfold the Infinite higher Wisdom to you…. The Guru Sakthi will start guiding you through the subtlety of each and every experience in your life (sad, success, failure, pain, pleasure) - your whole life is a series of experiences which are trying to give you the higher wisdom but you completely miss the learning part because you mechanically go through (Bhogan) the varied experiences. Your Guru comes to you life to wake you up and make you aware that your life is sacred and has the potential to get connected with the Infinite. Remember the nature of Bhogaha will pull you back - Maya - so that is why you need to do your daily Sadhana and clean yourself up spiritually on a daily basis otherwise you will go through all these experiences and remain where you are. Every Sunday the higher truths are expounded to you - and when you do your daily sadhana these truths will start penetrating into you system and you will get established in them and when you go through the varied experiences in the light of this higher wisdom, then those experiences will teach you - that is when you will really become a Sadhak. On one hand you gain this wisdom from your Guru (Sunday session) on the other hand you go through the varies experiences in the light of this wisdom and then these truths will be revealed to you, they will be triggered from within you and that is when you truly get connected with that Infinite Divinity which is present right within you. The Guru will be next to you and guide you always but its your journey… go through each and every experience in your life in an intense way. Mind always wants to escape when there is a challenge and get attached when it’s a pleasure - never go to these extremes. You need to go through each and every experience with full awareness - this can be done only if you are detached. When you are detached, you will function with full awareness and when you are fully aware it will lead your mind to detachment. Bhogaha - Eating - Yogic point of view it is getting nutrition to your life from your experiences in life (Bhogan). Your soul - Jeevathma gets strengthened with experience in life…. With the Sunday teachings and your daily Sadhana - the experiences you go through daily in life will teach you and you derive the spiritual nutrition you need and your soul gets purified - as a Jeevathma you start to get that inner spiritual strength. Bhogaha - Wealth/Possession - Yogic point of view it means - your capacity to experience life. The only wealth we can take with us is the inner wealth - our learnings from experiences….. what is the possession we can take with our body - our learnings from our life experiences - this is our true wealth/possessions….. birth after birth what we take with us is our knowledge/ignorance…. Experiences from life should make you rich inside and that comes only from spiritual growth. Bhogaha - Enjoyment - in life joy and sorrow go together… Bhogaha also means sorrow on the other hand…. You will go through ups and downs in life - you will keep learning from these experiences. You must approach life in a Sadhana way. Go through the various experiences in life but don’t get caught up - tread in the middle path. Homework : View your life as a book and each page is your everyday experience - view it and try to Master your life from your experiences… the real wealth you need to gain is the knowledge/wisdom from your life experiences - Sanathana Dharma.
Thank you Yogishri for todays session. Each and every experience in life shall be experienced in middle path, neither withdrawing nor getting indulgent and lost in it, but go through it in mediatative way, in spritiual way . This will become nutrition to your body, your soul will expand, your spritual wealth will increase, your soul will be purified and you will expand and will grow spiritually and connect with infinity. Wisdom which is given in sunday and empowerment session, is not only for listening but implement in day to day life and this will help you grow spritually and brjng meditativess in each and every exp. of life. With lots of gratitude Parul
Hari 🕉 and Pranaams Yogishriji. Thank you very much for a highly powerful and deep session. I did get the answer for the question that I have raised in the Attracting Abundance program. My real wealth is in the lessons I learn from each and every experience of my life. Thanks again for your guidance and blessings . Hari 🕉
Hari Om Deep session today इष्टान् भोगान्हि वो देवाः Do the actions with the right bhavana, with yagnya (unselfish) bhava and with higher goals in mind. Dimensions of Bhogaha - 1. Experience (Various types of experiences in life) 2. Eating food - for a healthy body. Taking in good things for spiritual growth 3. Wealth and possessions 4. Enjoyment - Experiences of both enjoyment (joy) and sorrow. Examine my life , take in and observe experiences in my life ( learn from the experiences) , do the sadhana and raise higher 🙏🙏 Thank you for such a powerful message 🙏 My heartfelt gratitude and humble Pranams 🙏🙏
Hari Om Yogishri, Thank you so much for the powerful discourse and meditation. Some important points from today's discourse: 1. Various aspects of Boha: - we need to experience life fully. - boha means food - by learning the ancient wisdom, we are feeding our spiritual hunger. Thank you so much Yogishri. 🙏
Hari om Guruji, Pranaams 🙏, Thanks for the powerful session with the healing and energy blast. Thanks once again for taking up my question and giving the clarity regards practicing the yoga vishrama sadhana material. And before answering my question when you were were telling about the different sadhana material one after another it was giving a sense of fullness and happiness within me probably this is what spiritual wealth does to one. Coming to today's session about Ishtaan Bhogaan apart from viewing all our experiences objectively and learning from it ,the dimension of wealth or spiritual wealth and also as food and taking it as learning both from happiness and sorrow was very powerful and enriching. Just as we eat food and it nourishes our physical body similarly the learning from the experiences of our life nourishes our counciousnes and helps it to expand ad grow. And when we do the actions with the right bhavana, yagna and higher goals more such experience will be attracted by us which will help us grow spiritually and worldly and also complete those experiences without getting stuck with it. Thanks once again for the powerful session and the healing. Looking forward for the tomorrow's empowerment and energy balancing Session. Pranaams, Sadhak- Narayanaswamy
Hari Om Yogishri, Points to ponder: Principle of bhoghaha Bhogaha means experiences, eating, enjoyment, suffering. Consider life as a book of experiences. Each experience teaches us something and helps us grow both worldly and spiritually. World is comprised of dvandva and it is wise for us to take the middle path. Thanks a lot Yogishri.
HariOm Guruji Namaste 🙏 The takeaway word : Spiritual Nutrition which purifies the Soul. Very purifying thought. Another interesting point is that our permanent wealth is our Knowledge and our Ignorance. Quite amusing but is actually right. Very meaningful and purposeful session 😊 Thank You Sir , Shivoham 🙏
Hari Om Yogishri ! Thank you so much for the wonderful session today! Key points that I could grasp! Ishtan Bhogan is a very important phrase that appears in verse 12 which actually contains the entire wisdom of the Higher. Every word or phrase used in the scriptures is very carefully done and usually contains the Higher wisdom in its entirety. In fact every experience in life contains the entire Higher wisdom. But to be able to unravel this wisdom from every experience in life one should have the ability to penetrate, which comes only from doing sadhana on a consistent basis and purifying one’s self. When we go through life and all its experience with meditativeness, then we gain the ability to learn from each experience. Bhogan means experience. Life itself is a flow of experiences. But merely going through the experiences in a mechanical way does not enable us to grow internally and spiritually. It is only when we learn from the experiences of life, do we grow spiritually. In order to learn from the experiences of life, one should remain centered. One should never get lost in the experiences nor should one escape from them. When you are caught up in the experiences or shy away from them, you are not in a position to learn from them. It is only when you are detached as you go through the experiences with total awareness do you learn. The more awareness you have the greater will be the detachment and this will in turn cause more awareness and so on. When you approach life’s experiences in this manner, you will reach a stage, where you will be able to choose the experiences that you desire in your life - Ishtan Bhogan. Another dimension of Bhogan is eating. We eat food to derive nourishment to the body. If the food you eat offers no nourishment then there is no use eating it. You need to eat adequate amount of nutritious food to live healthily. If you eat too less or too much you will invite diseases. Likewise the nourishment to your soul comes from life’s experiences. When you go through life’s experiences with awareness and being centered, you gain the higher wisdom and this helps in the expansion of your soul. Just as you nourish your body with food, you need to nourish your soul with every experience in life by being centered and learning from each experience in life. Going through life’s experiences in a mechanical way does not nourish the soul and you do not grow spiritually, no matter how well read you are in the scriptures or how regular you are in attending the Sunday discourses. Being exposed to the Higher wisdom through the Sunday discourses, does not make you spiritually rich, unless you are able to practicalize the wisdom in your day to day life. Bhogan means wealth. Wealth literally means money and possessions. In this context wealth refers to the inner wealth, spiritual wealth. Wealth here refers to the capacity to experience life fully. Even when you have the best of best of everything in life, unless you have the capacity to experience them, you are not wealthy. Experiencing life means being available to the experiences and learning from them, not merely going through the experiences in a mechanical way. It is this inner wealth alone, which comprises of both the wisdom that you have gained and the ignorance that remains- what you have learnt from life’s experiences and what you have not learnt that you carry with you across the several births that you take as a human being. You cannot carry any other external wealth that you have acquired from this life to the next. Bhogan means enjoyment. Literally it means sensual enjoyment. In this context, it also means suffering, as joy and sorrow are two sides of the same coin. In life if you experience joy, you will also experience sorrow, what is important, is, whether you are learning from the experience of joy and experience of sorrow whatever it is trying to teach you. Life is comprised of pairs of opposites, we need to continuously learn as we go through the ups and downs of life by being centered. We get so involved in life’s experiences that we fail to realize our ultimate purpose - of connecting with the Infinite and this is due to the power of Bhogan- that creates Maya - Illusion and pulls us away from the real purpose of life. We therefore continue to repeat this cycle of birth and death- Punarathi Jananam, Punarathi Maranam- and it is only with the Grace of the Higher can we get liberated from this difficult cycle of Samsar. Home work: From this moment onwards practice being fully present with awareness as you go through each and every experience in life. Be centered in your experience- neither succumb to indulgence nor self- denial or suppression. Learn the wisdom that every experience is teaching you. Thank you so much Yogishri for a very powerful and deep session. I sincerely hope I have correctly understood and fully absorbed the teachings from today’s session. Thank you for the meditation session as well!
Hariom Yogishri.. Pranam Thank you for a deep session today Todays points # 1/ Sadhak should learn from each and every experiences of life. Each experience is an oppurtunity to learn . 2. Soul can expand only by completing the experiences in detached way. Neither indulgence nor run away. 3. Spritually is knowledge of your own life. 4. A sadhak has to apply principles given by Guru during day to day experiences. By doing so each experience will become a meditative experience/ spritual experience 5. Sprituality is refining your senses and complete material and spritual experience fully. Thank you sir .. Ashish
Vanakkam yogishri My understanding from today's session is as follows:- Different dimensions of Bhogah are as below Experiences- you will have different experiences in life. We need to go through with awareness and follow middle path Eating Wealth and possession- we need to have inner wealth which is carried over to your next birth and not external wealth. Enjoyment and suffering - we need to take both enjoyment and suffering in spiritual way. Don't get get carried away when there is enjoyment and get bogged down during suffering. Thank you yogishri 🙏 🙏🙏
Thank you Yogishri for this deep session, Ishtaan Bhogaan -Bhogaan as Experiencing life Bhogaan here refers to your ability to experience life. It is only through the capacity to experience life that you will be able to evolve spiritually. Otherwise, life will go on and on mechanically, year after year, birth after birth. The ability to penetrate deep into your experience and learn from it is what will help you grow. It is only such a growth that will help you. It is the wisdom that is gained in such a process as that will stay with you through your life and after your death into another birth. - Bhogaan as eating or consuming Just as it is through the process of eating that you grow physically, it is through consuming life experience well that you will be able to grow spiritually. This involves experience life in a detached manner, that is through following the middle path. One must avoid the two extremes, indulgence and escapism when life give you experiences. - Bhogaan as suffering When one doesn't experience the world well, it will lead to suffering. Dualities of the world The world is made up of dualities, every aspect has also its opposite. //
Hari om Yogisri’s advice is to rather than read a book written by somebody, read your own life book, page by page, which is in the form of experiences, and become a master of life. Spirituality is nothing but mastering one’s own life. It is as good as saying start an inward journey by becoming meditative. But the problem here is, as we reflect on our actions in the past, a sense of frustration, and helplessness of our stupidity creeps in making us depressed. In other words, the mind refuses to accept “that I am responsible for everything and this moment is inevitable”. when we read our book, blessings don't come to the surface to feel grateful but only failures and non-achievements in life come up.. Maybe when one succeeds in this acceptance of the inevitability of this drama, the process will take up for further progress. Namaste
Hari Om Yogishri 🙏 Bhoga: Experiences - Every experience has the potential to teach us the Infinite wisdom if we have meditative approach towards life. Unless we go through experiences fully and learn from them, those experiences do not add value to our life. When we go through life mechanically we don't grow. We should neither indulge when an experience is pleasurable not escape when it is unpleasant. Whatever we do, be fully present and register and with practice, this'll become a part of our nature. This life we have been given is so sacred🙏. Bhoga: Eating/Food - When we go through every experience in an intense way with full awareness, it becomes food / nourishment for the soul. The jeevatma gets purified, strengthened and expanding. We shouldn't keep regretting lost opportunities and instead experience everything fully that is unfolding at this moment, even if it is unpleasant. Bhoga: Wealth - thr learning and refinement of our soul through every experience is our real wealth. We carry forward both our ignorance and learnings in the soul's journey. Bhoga: Enjoyment & suffering. The pairs of opposites go together. We should neither get hyper excited and lost in pleasurable experiences nor sink and get depressed in unpleasantness. All experiences are positive as those are what are exactly needed for us to learn & grow. Thank you so much Yogishri 🙏
Hari Om Yogishri Every experience in your life has the potential to reveal the infinite, but you have limitations to penetrate and absorb the infinite. By doing Sadhana daily, you develop the meditative approach towards life. Only if you approach life in a meditative way, you become a sadhak. What you learn from the experience is the key. When you go through your experiences in a mechanical way, you will not grow spiritually. Only when you learn from your experiences, you grow spiritually. You can learn, only when you approach your experiences in the meditative way. Convert your relative gross experiences into spiritual experiences by taking the middle path. Once you are centered in the experience, the infinite will reveal itself. The Guru Shakti will guide you through the subtlities of experience. Whatever you are doing do it with full awareness, with full consciousness. Go through your life in an intense way with full awareness, but in a detached way. Other dimension of bhoga or experiences is eating. When you approach your experience in a spiritual way, then that experience becomes like food for you. So experience becomes the nutrients for your soul. Hearing and listening is the basic requirement to learn the higher principles in life. But absorbing and practicing those higher principles is even more important. Bhoga also means wealth. Real wealth that you possess is your capacity to experience life in an intense way and absorb the higher principles from each experience. Bhoga also means enjoyment and suffering. The whole world is pair of opposites. Pranams 🙏 #Yogishri
Hari Om, Additional yogic dimensions of *Ishtan Bhoghan" were revealed today. Ishtan Boghan refers to taking a balanced approach, the middle path, towards experiences. Some of the aspects of Boghaha are experience, eating and wealth. Life is a series of experiences. We think some of them are pleasurable and some are not pleasurable and we either indulge or try to escape. Just like eating food is nutrition for the body, each experience provides nutrition for spiritual growth if we approach it with the middle path of Ishtan. What's the point of going through an experience unless you learn from it? Boghaha is our wealth. *Adi udhava mathiri anna thambi kooda udhava maatanga* The hits of life help us more than even our brothers. I choose to experience each experience with the middle path. Thank you Sir.
Hari 🕉 Yogishri 🙏🙏🙏 Tasmai Shri Guruvey Namaha 🙏🙏🙏 DOUBT: *** ‘’In every experience choose the middle path , with awareness and learn the lessons ’’ ... It will easier to practise if You can explain this with some egs.,... it will become clearer Yogishri. Like for eg. Parents today are stuck in 2 extreme positions - one is - they helplessly remain as dumb-scapegoats and are being exploited by their children or they choose to cut off from their kit and kin , & live a lonely life in old age homes or their own homes. What is the middle path here? and how to give unconditional love as well as retain their self respect and live with the children in harmony?... .Children today don't want to take up any duties/ dont want to respect their parents but just use their parents selfishly either financially or for services. How to be detached when living together and when you dont approve of their disorganised, unkempt habits and lazy lifestyles? Pls throw some light on this Yogishri. The Sunday discourses are amazingly powerful. Thank you sooo much Yogishri. 🕉 Shri Gurubhyo Namaha.🙏🙏🙏 Your humble Sadhak
Namaste Yogishri! Here are some points that I found inspiring from today's discourse: Bhogaha also means food (along with experience). Just as food serves the purpose of adding nutrition to the body, experiences help grow provided that you take the right lessons from them. This is the deeper meaning behind attributing two different meanings (food, experiences) to the word bhoga! In fact, bhogaha is used to denote both pleasurable and displeasurable experiences (although in popular usage, people use it for pleasurable experiences only). This is again trying to signify that one can learn from every experience. In fact, negative experiences have the power to teach such powerful lessons that even many many positive experiences together can't teach! A yogi doesn't look at life as a binary of positives and negatives because every experience can be learnt from! Thanks, Deepak

Thank you Yogishri for guiding us 🙏
Hari Om Yogishri🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Guruji for this week’s wonderful discourse. Pranams Swamiji🙏🙏
When we have deeper penetrative capacity, we can go into deep meditation by looking into any object.
The experiences we have gone through/going through will have value only when we learn lessons from those experiences for our evolvement and growth both worldly and spiritually. We should never indulge nor frustrate us and follow the middle path in all our experiences and in a meditative approach.
When we practice this knowledge, we will get the best of best in both in the world and spirituality. We should go through our experiences with full awareness and consciousness, that is actually living this life with dignity as a human being.
What actually matters in our life is the Spiritual wealth/wisdom we gain through our experiences. When we reach the meditative stage in all of our experiences, we can start choosing our experiences in order to exhaust our Vasanas and keep moving forward.
We need to gain wisdom of our life through our regular sadhana and the weekly discourses. Only when we are prepared, we can gain wisdom from our master. Only with the guidance of Guru we can gain the highest experience and become one with the INFINITE.
Thanks again Yogishri for this week’s amazing and deep meditation session and installing subtler Sadhana aspects in to our deeper and sub-conscious minds🙏🙏🙏
Humble pranams,Yogishri🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for this wonderful,powerful session followed by installing the most important principle or purpose of my life in the meditation.
Bhogan - Experience, food,wealth & possession, enjoyments
I have to go through each experience with full awareness, be present fully and learn from each experience. Never worry about the past. My present life says much about my past behaviours and patterns. Keep on going through each experience and correct my mistakes then and there. I will be given infinite experiences to learn and elevate myself.Awareness leads to detachment and having detached I can be more aware. Detachment and awareness are like cycles repeating itself.
Food - spiritual food. What I consume through each experience. Over eating and under eating lead to diseases. Indulgence vs denial lead to problems. Take the middle path.
Wealth & Possession- what will I take with me after i die. Only the knowledge and ignorance to my next birth. I will surely get external wealth to enjoy various material benefits and comforts ,no doubt , but that won’t come with me. Real spiritual wisdom is the inner wealth that I will carry birth after birth.
Enjoyments - joy and sorrow are 2 sides of the coin. Joy will excite me ,make me jump and sorrow will depress me ,make me sink. That is the power of maya. I have to be balanced in both these situations as both are teaching me higher wisdom. An experience of sorrow can teach me what thousands of bookish knowledge cannot teach.A yogi remains cantered.
Life is a series of experiences between birth and death. Learn,learn,learn from each experience,gain awareness, uplift my consciousness higher and higher until i reach the infinite. Every experience if I go fully has the potential to reveal the infinite wisdom. I should not waste this precious human birth( yet another time) which has been bestowed upon me.
Guru is my guide, my friend, my inner Shakti who has come to release me of all my bondages and unite me with my original source.
Thank you soooo much ,Yogishri, Today’s session is the best session for me for this year 2024 as I am able to understand it thoroughly.
Thanks for showing the path to the infinite. I will follow your instructions to experience life moment by moment and keep on correcting and uplifting myself.
Ananta koti pranams, to you, Yogishri 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Happy new year ,2025,Yogishri and all other sadhaks😊
Hari Om Yogishri !! Thank You so much on the powerful discourse on the deeper principles of Bogha
The only permanent wealth a human can possess is the wisdom which he or she has gained from his life. The more and more he acquires , the more and more he grows. Our lives have been filled with infinite amount of experiences, which is meant to experienced in a certain way, instead we are exactly doing the opposite of it. Every experience in our life is meant to teach us something which has to be learnt in order to evolve spiritually. The leanings from our experiences are considered to be our spiritual food. It helps us get all the inner nutrients to lead a complete life. Not only that it is also considered to be the greatest inner wealth which one can acquire.
As said by the great masters, the only possession one can own after leaving the body is the wisdom gained throughout one's life. So as sadhaks we need to start learning from each and every experience which the nature puts us in. The principle of eternal learning is the key to achieve the highest of self realization. The practice ground for this is our own life experiences.
This practice helps say stay centered which also promotes enjoying life in an detached way.
Bogha also means enjoyment. When we start enjoying each and every experience of our life, then there is no question of incompleteness or lacuna in our lives.
Thank you so much once again for everything Yogishri 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Humble Pranaams
Hari Om Yogishri
Thank you so much for today's Sadhana and discourse. From today I understood that each and every experience can be used as a sadhana to deeply reflect and understand like the pages of a book. Bhogan means experience (following the middle path amongst the extremes), eating (gaining nutrition), enjoyment and suffering (learning lessons) and wealth/possessions (knowledge and ignorance). The emphasis is birth after birth we do the same thing, so as you said, now and then nature gives the choice to move ahead and learn and evolve. The word Dwandwa is used in the context of life as life itself manifests as two extremes.
Thank you so much.
Warm regards,
Subramanyan
Hari om guruji...
Bhoogaha means experience, enjoyment and also sadness.
We have joy and also sadness in our life which teaches us many things.
We have to choose spiritual bhoogaha in our life.
Thank you guruji...

Tasmai Shri Guruvey Namaha 🙏🙏🙏
Thankyou for a very powerful session Yogishri.
***Your whole personality gets trapped in the experiences of ife…and you don't have time to ask what lesson this experience is teaching me? The flow is v.rapid and your entire personality is caught up and no time to ask any higher questions in life. You will have to convert every experience into spiritual experience by taking the middle path - neither indulgence or escapism.

Your humble Sadhak
Thank you Yogishri and all volunteers for organizing every Sunday discourse through online. Hari Om
😊😊😊😊😅
Hari OM Guruji 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼. Thank you for yet another inspiring session and explaining no the importance of staying in the middle path and doing our daily Sadhana which together will make us gain the knowledge/wisdom from our everyday/moment life’s experiences and grow spiritually within…. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
When you look at the world in a meditative way you will find that every experience will have the potential to teach you the ancient wisdom. You need to do Sadhana and develop that meditativeness (meditative approach towards life) only then you become a Sadhak - Seeker.
When experiences keep coming an going in your life your mind gets caught up in it and your personality gets trapped as the flow of experiences is vast/rapid - that is the nature of Bhohaga.
Bhogaha - experience - the very nature of it is to get you trapped in the experience… so you need to convert it to Ishta Bhogaha. So you need to take the middle path in all your experiences…. In order to be in the middle path you need to develop this meditative approach. Whatever you are doing, do it with full consciousness/awareness/in a meditative way. Every Sunday sessions should help you practice the Yogic approach, so it becomes a part of your nature.
The moment you adopt this middle path - the moment you are completely centered, and you go through an experience - that experience will unfold the Infinite higher Wisdom to you…. The Guru Sakthi will start guiding you through the subtlety of each and every experience in your life (sad, success, failure, pain, pleasure) - your whole life is a series of experiences which are trying to give you the higher wisdom but you completely miss the learning part because you mechanically go through (Bhogan) the varied experiences. Your Guru comes to you life to wake you up and make you aware that your life is sacred and has the potential to get connected with the Infinite. Remember the nature of Bhogaha will pull you back - Maya - so that is why you need to do your daily Sadhana and clean yourself up spiritually on a daily basis otherwise you will go through all these experiences and remain where you are. Every Sunday the higher truths are expounded to you - and when you do your daily sadhana these truths will start penetrating into you system and you will get established in them and when you go through the varied experiences in the light of this higher wisdom, then those experiences will teach you - that is when you will really become a Sadhak.
On one hand you gain this wisdom from your Guru (Sunday session) on the other hand you go through the varies experiences in the light of this wisdom and then these truths will be revealed to you, they will be triggered from within you and that is when you truly get connected with that Infinite Divinity which is present right within you.
The Guru will be next to you and guide you always but its your journey… go through each and every experience in your life in an intense way.
Mind always wants to escape when there is a challenge and get attached when it’s a pleasure - never go to these extremes. You need to go through each and every experience with full awareness - this can be done only if you are detached. When you are detached, you will function with full awareness and when you are fully aware it will lead your mind to detachment.
Bhogaha - Eating - Yogic point of view it is getting nutrition to your life from your experiences in life (Bhogan). Your soul - Jeevathma gets strengthened with experience in life…. With the Sunday teachings and your daily Sadhana - the experiences you go through daily in life will teach you and you derive the spiritual nutrition you need and your soul gets purified - as a Jeevathma you start to get that inner spiritual strength.
Bhogaha - Wealth/Possession - Yogic point of view it means - your capacity to experience life. The only wealth we can take with us is the inner wealth - our learnings from experiences….. what is the possession we can take with our body - our learnings from our life experiences - this is our true wealth/possessions….. birth after birth what we take with us is our knowledge/ignorance…. Experiences from life should make you rich inside and that comes only from spiritual growth.
Bhogaha - Enjoyment - in life joy and sorrow go together… Bhogaha also means sorrow on the other hand…. You will go through ups and downs in life - you will keep learning from these experiences. You must approach life in a Sadhana way. Go through the various experiences in life but don’t get caught up - tread in the middle path.
Homework : View your life as a book and each page is your everyday experience - view it and try to Master your life from your experiences… the real wealth you need to gain is the knowledge/wisdom from your life experiences - Sanathana Dharma.
Thank you so much Yogishri 🙏🙏🙏

Deep session today
इष्टान् भोगान्हि वो देवाः
Do the actions with the right bhavana, with yagnya (unselfish) bhava and with higher goals in mind.
Dimensions of Bhogaha - 1. Experience (Various types of experiences in life)
2. Eating food - for a healthy body. Taking in good things for spiritual growth
3. Wealth and possessions
4. Enjoyment - Experiences of both enjoyment (joy) and sorrow.
Examine my life , take in and observe experiences in my life ( learn from the experiences) , do the sadhana and raise higher 🙏🙏
Thank you for such a powerful message 🙏
My heartfelt gratitude and humble Pranams 🙏🙏
Hari Om GuruDev 🙏
Thank you, Yogishri 🙏
Hari Om Yogishri,
Thank you so much for the powerful discourse and meditation. Some important points from today's discourse:
1. Various aspects of Boha:
- we need to experience life fully.
- boha means food - by learning the ancient wisdom, we are feeding our spiritual hunger.
Thank you so much Yogishri. 🙏
Om Om Om Hari Shree Krishna
Hari om Guruji,
Pranaams 🙏,
Thanks for the powerful session with the healing and energy blast.
Thanks once again for taking up my question and giving the clarity regards practicing the yoga vishrama sadhana material. And before answering my question when you were were telling about the different sadhana material one after another it was giving a sense of fullness and happiness within me probably this is what spiritual wealth does to one.
Coming to today's session about Ishtaan Bhogaan apart from viewing all our experiences objectively and learning from it ,the dimension of wealth or spiritual wealth and also as food and taking it as learning both from happiness and sorrow was very powerful and enriching. Just as we eat food and it nourishes our physical body similarly the learning from the experiences of our life nourishes our counciousnes and helps it to expand ad grow. And when we do the actions with the right bhavana, yagna and higher goals more such experience will be attracted by us which will help us grow spiritually and worldly and also complete those experiences without getting stuck with it.
Thanks once again for the powerful session and the healing.
Looking forward for the tomorrow's empowerment and energy balancing Session.
Pranaams,

Hari Om Yogishri,
Points to ponder:
Principle of bhoghaha
Bhogaha means experiences, eating, enjoyment, suffering.
Consider life as a book of experiences. Each experience teaches us something and helps us grow both worldly and spiritually. World is comprised of dvandva and it is wise for us to take the middle path.
Thanks a lot Yogishri.
Thanks a lot Yogishri 🙏
HariOm Guruji Namaste 🙏
The takeaway word :
Spiritual Nutrition
which purifies the Soul.
Very purifying thought.
Another interesting point is that our permanent wealth is our Knowledge and our Ignorance. Quite amusing but is actually right.
Very meaningful and purposeful session 😊
Thank You Sir ,
Shivoham 🙏

Key points that I could grasp!
Ishtan Bhogan is a very important phrase that appears in verse 12 which actually contains the entire wisdom of the Higher. Every word or phrase used in the scriptures is very carefully done and usually contains the Higher wisdom in its entirety. In fact every experience in life contains the entire Higher wisdom. But to be able to unravel this wisdom from every experience in life one should have the ability to penetrate, which comes only from doing sadhana on a consistent basis and purifying one’s self. When we go through life and all its experience with meditativeness, then we gain the ability to learn from each experience.
Bhogan means experience. Life itself is a flow of experiences. But merely going through the experiences in a mechanical way does not enable us to grow internally and spiritually. It is only when we learn from the experiences of life, do we grow spiritually. In order to learn from the experiences of life, one should remain centered. One should never get lost in the experiences nor should one escape from them. When you are caught up in the experiences or shy away from them, you are not in a position to learn from them. It is only when you are detached as you go through the experiences with total awareness do you learn. The more awareness you have the greater will be the detachment and this will in turn cause more awareness and so on. When you approach life’s experiences in this manner, you will reach a stage, where you will be able to choose the experiences that you desire in your life - Ishtan Bhogan.
Another dimension of Bhogan is eating. We eat food to derive nourishment to the body. If the food you eat offers no nourishment then there is no use eating it. You need to eat adequate amount of nutritious food to live healthily. If you eat too less or too much you will invite diseases. Likewise the nourishment to your soul comes from life’s experiences. When you go through life’s experiences with awareness and being centered, you gain the higher wisdom and this helps in the expansion of your soul. Just as you nourish your body with food, you need to nourish your soul with every experience in life by being centered and learning from each experience in life. Going through life’s experiences in a mechanical way does not nourish the soul and you do not grow spiritually, no matter how well read you are in the scriptures or how regular you are in attending the Sunday discourses. Being exposed to the Higher wisdom through the Sunday discourses, does not make you spiritually rich, unless you are able to practicalize the wisdom in your day to day life.
Bhogan means wealth. Wealth literally means money and possessions. In this context wealth refers to the inner wealth, spiritual wealth. Wealth here refers to the capacity to experience life fully. Even when you have the best of best of everything in life, unless you have the capacity to experience them, you are not wealthy. Experiencing life means being available to the experiences and learning from them, not merely going through the experiences in a mechanical way. It is this inner wealth alone, which comprises of both the wisdom that you have gained and the ignorance that remains- what you have learnt from life’s experiences and what you have not learnt that you carry with you across the several births that you take as a human being. You cannot carry any other external wealth that you have acquired from this life to the next.
Bhogan means enjoyment. Literally it means sensual enjoyment. In this context, it also means suffering, as joy and sorrow are two sides of the same coin. In life if you experience joy, you will also experience sorrow, what is important, is, whether you are learning from the experience of joy and experience of sorrow whatever it is trying to teach you. Life is comprised of pairs of opposites, we need to continuously learn as we go through the ups and downs of life by being centered. We get so involved in life’s experiences that we fail to realize our ultimate purpose - of connecting with the Infinite and this is due to the power of Bhogan- that creates Maya - Illusion and pulls us away from the real purpose of life. We therefore continue to repeat this cycle of birth and death- Punarathi Jananam, Punarathi Maranam- and it is only with the Grace of the Higher can we get liberated from this difficult cycle of Samsar.
Home work: From this moment onwards practice being fully present with awareness as you go through each and every experience in life. Be centered in your experience- neither succumb to indulgence nor self- denial or suppression. Learn the wisdom that every experience is teaching you.
Thank you so much Yogishri for a very powerful and deep session. I sincerely hope I have correctly understood and fully absorbed the teachings from today’s session.
Thank you for the meditation session as well!
Hariom Yogishri..

Thank you for a deep session today
Todays points #
1/ Sadhak should learn from each and every experiences of life. Each experience is an oppurtunity to learn .
2. Soul can expand only by completing the experiences in detached way. Neither indulgence nor run away.
3. Spritually is knowledge of your own life.
4. A sadhak has to apply principles given by Guru during day to day experiences. By doing so each experience will become a meditative experience/ spritual experience
5. Sprituality is refining your senses and complete material and spritual experience fully.
Thank you sir ..
Ashish
Vanakkam yogishri
My understanding from today's session is as follows:-
Different dimensions of Bhogah are as below
Experiences- you will have different experiences in life. We need to go through with awareness and follow middle path
Eating
Wealth and possession- we need to have inner wealth which is carried over to your next birth and not external wealth.
Enjoyment and suffering - we need to take both enjoyment and suffering in spiritual way. Don't get get carried away when there is enjoyment and get bogged down during suffering.
Thank you yogishri 🙏 🙏🙏

Thank you Yogishri for this deep session,
Ishtaan Bhogaan
-Bhogaan as Experiencing life
Bhogaan here refers to your ability to experience life. It is only through the capacity to experience life that you will be able to evolve spiritually. Otherwise, life will go on and on mechanically, year after year, birth after birth. The ability to penetrate deep into your experience and learn from it is what will help you grow. It is only such a growth that will help you. It is the wisdom that is gained in such a process as that will stay with you through your life and after your death into another birth.
- Bhogaan as eating or consuming
Just as it is through the process of eating that you grow physically, it is through consuming life experience well that you will be able to grow spiritually. This involves experience life in a detached manner, that is through following the middle path. One must avoid the two extremes, indulgence and escapism when life give you experiences.
- Bhogaan as suffering
When one doesn't experience the world well, it will lead to suffering.
Dualities of the world
The world is made up of dualities, every aspect has also its opposite.

Yogisri’s advice is to rather than read a book written by somebody, read your own life book, page by page, which is in the form of experiences, and become a master of life. Spirituality is nothing but mastering one’s own life.
It is as good as saying start an inward journey by becoming meditative.
But the problem here is, as we reflect on our actions in the past, a sense of frustration, and helplessness of our stupidity creeps in making us depressed. In other words, the mind refuses to accept “that I am responsible for everything and this moment is inevitable”. when we read our book, blessings don't come to the surface to feel grateful but only failures and non-achievements in life come up..
Maybe when one succeeds in this acceptance of the inevitability of this drama, the process will take up for further progress.
Namaste
Hari Om Yogishri 🙏
Bhoga: Experiences - Every experience has the potential to teach us the Infinite wisdom if we have meditative approach towards life. Unless we go through experiences fully and learn from them, those experiences do not add value to our life. When we go through life mechanically we don't grow. We should neither indulge when an experience is pleasurable not escape when it is unpleasant. Whatever we do, be fully present and register and with practice, this'll become a part of our nature. This life we have been given is so sacred🙏.
Bhoga: Eating/Food - When we go through every experience in an intense way with full awareness, it becomes food / nourishment for the soul. The jeevatma gets purified, strengthened and expanding. We shouldn't keep regretting lost opportunities and instead experience everything fully that is unfolding at this moment, even if it is unpleasant.
Bhoga: Wealth - thr learning and refinement of our soul through every experience is our real wealth. We carry forward both our ignorance and learnings in the soul's journey.
Bhoga: Enjoyment & suffering. The pairs of opposites go together. We should neither get hyper excited and lost in pleasurable experiences nor sink and get depressed in unpleasantness. All experiences are positive as those are what are exactly needed for us to learn & grow.
Thank you so much Yogishri 🙏
Hari Om Yogishri
Every experience in your life has the potential to reveal the infinite, but you have limitations to penetrate and absorb the infinite.
By doing Sadhana daily, you develop the meditative approach towards life. Only if you approach life in a meditative way, you become a sadhak.
What you learn from the experience is the key. When you go through your experiences in a mechanical way, you will not grow spiritually. Only when you learn from your experiences, you grow spiritually. You can learn, only when you approach your experiences in the meditative way.
Convert your relative gross experiences into spiritual experiences by taking the middle path. Once you are centered in the experience, the infinite will reveal itself. The Guru Shakti will guide you through the subtlities of experience.
Whatever you are doing do it with full awareness, with full consciousness. Go through your life in an intense way with full awareness, but in a detached way.
Other dimension of bhoga or experiences is eating. When you approach your experience in a spiritual way, then that experience becomes like food for you. So experience becomes the nutrients for your soul.
Hearing and listening is the basic requirement to learn the higher principles in life. But absorbing and practicing those higher principles is even more important.
Bhoga also means wealth. Real wealth that you possess is your capacity to experience life in an intense way and absorb the higher principles from each experience.
Bhoga also means enjoyment and suffering. The whole world is pair of opposites.
Pranams 🙏 #Yogishri
Hari Om,
Additional yogic dimensions of *Ishtan Bhoghan" were revealed today.
Ishtan Boghan refers to taking a balanced approach, the middle path, towards experiences.
Some of the aspects of Boghaha are experience, eating and wealth.
Life is a series of experiences. We think some of them are pleasurable and some are not pleasurable and we either indulge or try to escape. Just like eating food is nutrition for the body, each experience provides nutrition for spiritual growth if we approach it with the middle path of Ishtan. What's the point of going through an experience unless you learn from it?
Boghaha is our wealth. *Adi udhava mathiri anna thambi kooda udhava maatanga*
The hits of life help us more than even our brothers.
I choose to experience each experience with the middle path.
Thank you Sir.
Hari 🕉 Yogishri 🙏🙏🙏
Tasmai Shri Guruvey Namaha 🙏🙏🙏
DOUBT:
*** ‘’In every experience choose the middle path , with awareness and learn the lessons ’’ ... It will easier to practise if You can explain this with some egs.,... it will become clearer Yogishri. Like for eg. Parents today are stuck in 2 extreme positions - one is - they helplessly remain as dumb-scapegoats and are being exploited by their children or they choose to cut off from their kit and kin , & live a lonely life in old age homes or their own homes. What is the middle path here? and how to give unconditional love as well as retain their self respect and live with the children in harmony?... .Children today don't want to take up any duties/ dont want to respect their parents but just use their parents selfishly either financially or for services. How to be detached when living together and when you dont approve of their disorganised, unkempt habits and lazy lifestyles?
Pls throw some light on this Yogishri.
The Sunday discourses are amazingly powerful. Thank you sooo much Yogishri.
🕉 Shri Gurubhyo Namaha.🙏🙏🙏
Your humble Sadhak
Namaste Yogishri! Here are some points that I found inspiring from today's discourse:
Bhogaha also means food (along with experience). Just as food serves the purpose of adding nutrition to the body, experiences help grow provided that you take the right lessons from them. This is the deeper meaning behind attributing two different meanings (food, experiences) to the word bhoga!
In fact, bhogaha is used to denote both pleasurable and displeasurable experiences (although in popular usage, people use it for pleasurable experiences only). This is again trying to signify that one can learn from every experience. In fact, negative experiences have the power to teach such powerful lessons that even many many positive experiences together can't teach! A yogi doesn't look at life as a binary of positives and negatives because every experience can be learnt from!
Thanks,
