Siddhaloka - Abode of Siddhas

THE GREATNESS OF HUMAN LIFE
"Man, who becomes Super-Man by realizing his Supreme Self through Divine Grace, is the best replica of God, the Almighty, in His blessed creation. He is the highest in the order of evolution of living beings because of his emotional, intellectual, intuitional and verbal powers of feeling, thinking, cognizing and expressing genius of extraordinary type. By developing these exceptional powers scientifically, man contemplates to control the whole universe and become the greatest power in the whole world. Though he has succeeded to a great extent in this mad adventure, he has utterly failed in his main purpose of becoming more happy and secure. So, he cannot claim real greatness in the world as he has neither achieved real and enduring happiness, nor overcome grief or misery. Having known the ephemeral nature of the world through acute discrimination, he who leads a pure life of dispassion and spiritual discipline of serving a real Guru, and gets absorbed in his own Real Nature, is truly the blessed and liberated person, who is also the happiest and the greatest in the world" - Bhagwan Nityananda

Welcome to Siddhaloka. Siddhaloka literally means "Abode of the Siddhas". Siddhaloka Ashram (hermitage) is situated in an idyllic location outside the city of Bangalore in Southern India. This is the seat of the Siddha Yoga Dham, a registered charitable institution whose spiritual head is Param Poojya (His Holiness) Swami Chetanananda Saraswati, who belongs to the ancient lineage of Siddha Gurus. Siddha Yoga is a practical and natural means of self-realization, wherein the disciple spontaneously reaches the Ultimate state through the grace of the Siddha Guru ('Perfect Master'). Welcome to this sanctuary of peace and well being for all humanity.

Weekly Message :

PURPOSE OF RELIGION:

Tradition only belongs to animals,plants etc. There can be no tradition for mankind as they have power of faculty to learn, develop and progress. By birth, a son of an Engineer can not become an Engineer unless he learns. Therefore, where ever there are cultural teachers, preachers, there can be no tradition but History.

A real place of worship and religion is characterised by the following immanent qualities :-

a) simple - without any outward decoration;

b) maintains strict discipline, decorum, sanctity and quietude;

c) a sanctury of peace, veneration and secrecy of Mantras;

d) devoid of outward musical instruments to alert outward senses causing distraction;

e)debars offerings and distribution of Prasad, boons or gifts etc;

f) free from difference between rich and poor, high and low;

g) prohibits monetary dealing or bargaining for undue gain or protection from punishment for wrongs done;

h) absolutely unostentatious regarding display of pride, material wealth, gold, jewellary etc;

i) a sacred percinct where people come with pure heart and noble mind without ego or pride challange to create dissension amongst the followers;

j) a holy place where people come to approach full development and maturity.
