THE SOVEREIGN ORDER
Not only a faith, a technique for enlightenment
These five are Sarvabhaumya Vrata, universal virtues.
Satsang, 1 Mar 2021
It is not only our religious faith. It is a very powerful system, a technique for enlightenment.
Satsang at Adi Kailasa, Bidadi
Whether Shaivite, Smartha, Vaishnava, Shakta, Tantra or Aghora tradition, you might interpret these values differently, but the value itself is Sarvabhaumya, universal.

The five vows
Ahimsa
Non-harm
Ahimsa means physically, mentally, verbally you will not hurt anybody.
Satsang, Himalayan Yatra, 23 May 2005
Non-violence is such a joy. It is not just a moral code. It is such an ecstasy.
Satsang, 13 Dec 2010
Violence is like fire: it burns you first, before you put it on others.
Satsang, 13 Dec 2010
Satya
Truth
Satya means physically, mentally, verbally you will be truthful. Even a single word, don't tell a lie.
Satsang, Himalayan Yatra, 23 May 2005
Satya does not mean just talking facts like a parrot. Satya means understanding the truths of life.
Satsang, 13 Dec 2010
Asteya
Non-stealing
Non-stealing does not mean only not stealing things from others. You will not abuse nature.
Satsang, Himalayan Yatra, 23 May 2005
Asteya means non-stealing and non-disturbing.
Satsang, Himalayan Yatra, 23 May 2005
Aparigraha
Non-possessiveness
Aparigraha means living with minimal things.
Satsang, 13 Dec 2010
I translate non-possessiveness as not possessing anything which is not you.
Satsang, 4 Jan 2011
Start with external objects, like luxury items, the outermost layer. Then go deeper, to the subtler and subtler levels of non-possessiveness.
Satsang, 4 Jan 2011
The strength of Aparigraha can change the very system of your body.
Satsang at Adi Kailasa, Bidadi
Brahmacharya
Living like God
Brahmacharya means living like God.
Satsang, 13 Dec 2010
Brahmacharya is not a vow or an ordinary vrata. It is a wealth, a luxury, an extraordinary ecstasy.
Satsang, 13 Dec 2010
The Rishis were all Brahmacharis. They have only pure love.
Satsang, Himalayan Yatra, 23 May 2005
Just live with it.
Just those five words he gave: Ahimsa, Satya, Asteya, Aparigraha, Brahmacharya. That's all. You should just live with it.
Satsang at Adi Kailasa, Bidadi
