A. At the Ramnathi ashram Swamiji provided guidance on yoga, music etc. Instead of deciding the topic of guidance himself he asks concerned seekers. He told us to tell him the topic on which we wanted guidance. He added that he would not tell whatever we did not need even if  that knowledge is excellent.

He composes songs spontaneously and sings them in different ragas. He presented some of these songs before seekers. Explaining the spiritual meaning on some stories from the Purans he sang songs on them.

10. Attitude of Jagadguru Yogarushi (Dr.) Swami
Satyaprakash of always thinking of others and his egolessness !

Given further are some virtues that I observed in founder of VISHWA from Canada Jagadguru Yogarushi (Dr.) Swami Satyaprakashji and analysis of some points told by him.

11. Some virtues of Jagadguru Yogarushi (Dr.) Swami Satyaprakashji noticed by me

11 A. Eating mahaprasad at the time nominated by the ashram and not as per his own convenience to prevent inconvenience to seekers

When asked he would like to eat mahaprasad or prasad he said he would follow the timings of the ashram. Swamiji wakes up at Brahmamuhurt (3.30 a.m.) hence usually he eats prasad and mahaprasad earlier than others and does not eat after sunset.

11 B. He said Bhavanaji (SSRF Saint H.H. (Mrs.) Bhavana Shinde) has asked me to visit the ashram. Now I will behave as per your norms, all I know is you have to command and I have to obey.

11 C. Not preserving his own identity

One day after eating prasad when asked whether he needed a finger bowl to wash hands he replied if this is done then it will mean that the lady seeker serving is distinct from me.

 

12. Points on the teachings as told by Jagadguru Yogarushi (Dr.) Swami Satyaprakashji

12 A. If an individual thinks only of himself then he is committing sin and if he thinks of the other then he remains healthy

He said that wherever there is ‘I’ ness there is illness or inconvenience and wherever there is we there is wellness, that is health. When man is self-centered he commits sin. On the contrary when he thinks of the other, he becomes a giver, like the Sun.

12 B. Importance of viewing as an observer

If you look down upon someone then you devaluate yourself. When you consider that individual as yourself your value increases. If you consider every individual as a part of God then you can view him with equanimity.
