Description

During this gathering, Mohanji explained why he had chosen his name and how titles in spiritual traditions are often bestowed by masters. For him, what mattered most was how people felt connected to his energy, not the title he bore. In the same session, Mohanji spoke about the significance of cremation. "Cremation," he said, "makes it easier for the soul to detach from the body and evolve further. It is a process of letting go, much like we must learn to let go in life." He also emphasized the power of silence. “Create small islands of silence in your life,” he urged. “Start with just a few moments of quiet. These islands will grow and eventually form a mainland of inner peace.” When asked about the essence of womanhood, Mohanji replied, “The core of womanhood lies in nurturing. This isn’t confined to giving birth to children. It’s the natural ability to nourish, care for, and share love – a gift inherent in all women.” Mohanji also shared his personal story of loss and resilience. Years ago, he had lost everything – his daughter, his marriage, his job, and even his friends. “But,” he said with a serene smile, “those moments taught me self-acceptance. The Raja Yoga path requires you to embrace everything you are, including your imperfections. Only then can true growth occur.” During the retreat, Mohanji spoke of the challenges inherent in spiritual journeys. “This path is like walking through fire,” he explained. “You will be tested and challenged, but if you remain steadfast, you will become like ash – pure and free of all identifications.” He also highlighted the importance of rituals, such as feeding birds after the death of a loved one, to show respect and support the soul’s transition. “Life is fleeting,” he said. “But respect and love transcend it.” Mohanji concluded with a powerful message: “True abundance is not in what you possess but in what you feel. When you accept yourself and connect to consciousness, you will realize you already have everything you need.” His words left a profound impact on the participants, inspiring them to embrace silence, accept themselves, and approach life with love and respect.
