Swami Premananda
Swamiji explained that in ancient times people used to perform yagam as another form of abhishekam. Instead of pouring the ingredients on a form or statue of the Divinity, they poured ghee, fruits, herbs and other sacred ingredients in the …
(Excerpt from a satsang Swamiji gave in the UK in 1984) (Swamiji sings “Govinda Krishna Jai…” even though his throat is sore.) Today you tried to get me to sing, but I am not really able to. However, when I …
(Excerpt from a satsang by Swamiji) You have collected a heap of worldly attachments – slowly, slowly throw them away. A lot of grass is growing on the land of your heart. Clean it little by little and try to …
(This is part of a satsang Swamiji gave in the UK in 1984) During the short time we are alive we should live with love, have good habits and good thoughts. Love is something pure; it should come from within. …

Swamiji blessed Ashram delegates to go to all the Sri Premananda Centres and Groups around the world who invite them, and to take the powerful pink World Tour Lingam with them on such world tours. This year, starting in October, there will again be such a world tour undertaken by two delegates from the Sri Premananda Ashram in India.
It is a fact that we live for only a very short time. What should we achieve in this short time? In this life we should not forget what it really is that we should achieve. In order to reach the essential goal, what do we need? We need devotion and patience. The more patience a person has the better. Keeping you all waiting for so long has also been a test of your patience! Truly, I didn’t want to test you like this. I was late leaving Birmingham and when I arrived [in Leicester] devotees took up a lot of my time. It was 7 p.m. when I arrived but it took a long time for me to get here to this place because I had to meet so many devotees first. I didn’t stay long in any one place, but the visits included some to really ill patients.
We are living in this world, but not where we want to live. If we live in a world that we don’t like, then will we be happy? I am teaching you to live in a world that you like but you find this hard to understand. You are living in a false world, so of course you are living with depression. I want to show you the true world, but you don’t listen. Realize that the material world is not true. Because you don’t accept that this material world is not true, you don’t understand me when I tell you about the real world. You are living in your world and in the way you like. You are acting out your own drama. If you would be living in the world that I am teaching you about, you would not have depression…
You are asking me about unity. Narayana! You see, normally, ladies do not believe what other ladies say. Yet ladies often believe what men say. Men also believe other men. Ladies must learn to trust in and believe each other. They must be clear and open with each other. They must open their hearts to other ladies. So my first point is that we should not make the distinction of who is male and who is female. That is the first barrier to unity in the world. We should trust and believe in each other. We must have faith in and love for each other. We must regard each other as human beings, not as men and women. We must love each other from the heart, not with the body. These are the first steps to unity…
What is God? I feel that there is an extra-ordinary vibration in our world. This vibration is inside us, and also outside us. Let us consider the soil. If you take a little soil and put it in your mouth, what does it taste like? Because it has no taste, you might think that soil doesn’t contain any tastes at all, but that is not true…
