by Gurani Anjali
Bhaga means a share or a part of a whole
Varta means a promise or vow
When we take all the income we earn and put a part of it aside with the intention to share in the physical burdens that come with perpetuating God’s (paramatma’s) work on earth, we are then entitled to feel a sense of well being that comes with being supportive.
Money Problems – will be solved; live one day at a time; as you give, so you will receive.
Affirmation of Faith – In the act of giving your faith in the yoga dharma is renewed and you begin to experience that the paramatma is alive and at work in the world as the life of all lives. Such a knowledge expels loneliness.
In this karmic challenge please don’t miss the opportunity to assist in the building of your yoga ashram.
Giving brings power (sakti); giving opens a door through which the spiritual sakti enters into the body of the giver, the result is joy abundant.
The act of giving must never be selfish. When we give in earnest, we receive many gifts. Sometimes they are material in nature and sometimes they are indefinable. It develops our charisma and consciousness abounds.
Yoga discipleship in bhaga varta is strengthened through the guiding light of yama and niyama in the yoga darsanam.
