Today, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj presided over the 8th “Global Meditation in Place” event. Prior to the meditation sitting, he spoke first in Hindi and then in English on how we can attain permanent peace and happiness. We all want peace and happiness in our lives, but despite our efforts, life appears to swing between brief moments of happiness and extended periods of turmoil, he said. Worldly joys are fleeting because of the temporary and changing nature of the outer world.

If we want to achieve permanent peace, we need to attach ourselves to that which is permanent and unchanging. This happens as we go within through meditation. When we invert our attention from the world outside, we come in contact with the power of God and begin to partake of the treasures of divinity hidden within each and every one of us.

As we experience the love of God within us, it brings lasting joy, happiness, peace, and calm into our lives. The inner peace that we attain in meditation helps us contribute to outer peace. With these words, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji placed the global online audience in meditation.

On the 31^st anniversary of the passing of Sant Darshan Singh Ji Maharaj, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj presided over an online remembrance program attended by tens of thousands around the world. To begin the program, Mata Rita Ji sang a hymn from the scriptures that spoke of the soul’s yearning to meet God.

The spiritual Master said that while Sant Darshan Singh Ji may not be with us physically, he has not left us. He is with us today, just as he was over three decades ago, guiding us toward our spiritual goal. He brought light where there was once darkness, and taught countless souls how to experience and love God. He taught us the most important aspect of life: to love God and to love God’s creation. He wanted us to develop the qualities of selfless service and kindness so that we may bring heaven down on earth.

Sant Rajinder Singh Ji also described the importance of this human birth, of understanding our purpose in this life, and of fulfilling that purpose.  As the soul connects with God’s love in meditation, it recognizes the oneness of all creation. Gradually, the ego is extinguished and all pain dissipates, he said. The soul experiences joy and bliss while moving steadily toward its union with God.

At the conclusion of the program, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji placed the online audience in meditation.
