I am not the guru;

God is the Guru.

I am only God’s servant.

This annual festival of joy honors the Guru—the divine Light 

that shines into our world and lights the path for seekers of truth 

to discover their essential nature. On this day, we honor the 

saints and sages of all traditions and the spiritual teachers in our 

tradition of Kriya Yoga. Enjoy early morning meditation, the fire 

ceremony, and a community meal.

The third practice to support simple living is the cultivation of contentment, 

called santosha in Sanskrit. This is the practice of consciously abiding in our 

true nature and experiencing our essential wholeness. Superconscious medita-

tion makes this possible. When we regularly sit for meditation and our minds 

become quiet, the inherent fullness of the divine Self is revealed. We do not need 

to add anything to the Self. It is whole and complete. To touch this wholeness and 

experience freedom from desire, even for just a few minutes a day, introduces us 

to the unconditional happiness that is always with us. Once we know this, we are 

naturally inclined to live simply.
