Meditation on the Inner Light and Sound

50 years of Holy Practice | 25th of April 1973 |
Satsang | Manav Kendra Ashram, India

Sirio Ji travelled to India via land in 1973 and there he met Maharaj Kirpal Singh Ji by whom he was initiated into the tradition of Surat Shabd Yoga on the 25th of April. This video was filmed in Dehradun, in the Manav Kendra Ashram where he first saw Maharaj Kirpal Ji and he told the story during a Satsang of this life-changing encounter. We wish to honour this spiritual quest of our Beloved Master Sirio and to express our gratitude through this video.
Dear Master, thank You a billion times to bring the Light of Kirpal to us and to share Your spiritual treasure with us in a selfless way!
Thank You for everything Great Master Sirio. we wish You a happy anniversary! ...and many more...

“In India, initiation is called Naam Daan, that is “Giving the Name”. What is Giving the Name? The Supreme Being, the Supreme Reality has been given so many names by so many masters, this is what is called Mantra or Simran. At initiation besides the explanation of the inner journey is given a Mantra which are names of God charged up by your own master who has been meditating on these names in his all life, or most of his life, and also by the lineage of the masters of this path. They have all meditated on this Simran, on this Mantra. They are charged words which are given to you and help you to withdraw your consciousness, and your attention from the physical body and take it to that spot in the body from where you can exit the physical body and enter into the astral plane into the astral body and so on. Once the practice is explained very well then we practice at initiation, because theory doesn’t take you anywhere. You need to practice. Just as it was said in the quote “to know is one thing and to do is another”. I can explain to you anything, but if you don’t practice then you don’t experience anything. So the theory is given, the inner journey is explained, the mantra is given and then we practice. Because it’s through practice that we experience what it means to come in touch with the Inner Light.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

What is Satsang?

Satsang literally is a speech about Truth. It is given only by the living Master who in turn lived, practiced and absorbed the Satsang of His Master till He became dyed in His colour. Participants may be disciples and also not. The duration of Satsang depends on the need of Truth itself.

Satsang means to speak about Truth. Of elevated thoughts. Practically Satsang is education to the mind, if it only listens to His words and not let anyone or anything deviate the attention . Just like when you get the medicine to cure your body: you feel where it goes and what it does in your body and then you get healed.

Sant Mat or Surat Shabd Yoga

Sant Mat or Surat Shabd Yoga drew its philosophical basis by taking the best from the Sufi (Islamic) and the Hindu traditions: especially the tradition of the Sant which already adopted certain methods developed further in the Sant Mat. The tradition of the Sufis – Islamic mystics – who -essentially – believe in one God (monotheism) and the Human Pole who is the mouthpiece of God on earth and the instrument chosen by Him to convey the spiritual Light to the souls willing and ready for mystical union.
