Jai Madhav ji 🙏
Welcome to the First Edition of True Wisdom!
A newsletter for the Nirvana Yoga Global Community.
It is with great joy that we offer you the very first edition of True Wisdom.
Community Update:
We are delighted to share that our latest Yoga Teacher Training batch has been launched for students of Kerala and the response has been truly heartening — thirty students have already enrolled.
Our mission has always been to nurture sincere yoga teachers and to carry this tradition into the world. An international TTC batch is on the horizon, and we look forward to sharing more details in the coming weeks. If you feel called to this path, we warmly invite you to reach out to us at info@nirvanayogaglobal.com.
Wisdom from Guruji
The second part of this newsletter carries something precious: teachings drawn from a live session conducted by Guruji Bodhisatvan Madhavacharyan. The session was held in Malayalam, and we have done our sincere best to render these words faithfully in English.
As the original session was an intimate exchange — with personal interactions and individual guidance woven throughout — those moments have been respectfully set aside. What remains are the core teachings and reflections offered during the discourse.
Because of this, the flow here may feel contemplative rather than strictly linear.
Injustice, Awareness, and Right Action
One student asked Guruji:
“Today we see so much injustice and wrongdoing in the world. Don’t we have a responsibility to stand up against it? But when we try to oppose such injustice, those who support it turn against us. Often we find ourselves outnumbered and standing alone. In such situations, what should we do?”
Guruji replied:
The very reason this question arises is because of the quality of the soul itself.
The tendency to do wrong actions comes from Mithya Jnana—false knowledge, ignorance.
The feeling “this is not right” comes from Satya Jnana—true knowledge that exists within the soul. Both exist within every human being, just like day and night.
The Kurukshetra war is not outside—it is happening within us.
I have seen a lot in my life. If we act without understanding how the world actually functions, those who fight against wrongdoing may themselves be destroyed. Many people who stand against injustice are killed or silenced.
So the question arises: Is it wise to fight injustice directly?
The answer is not blind confrontation.
The real work is creating awareness—becoming part of a gradual transformation of society.
Look at history.
In India, there once existed the practice of Sati, where widows were forced to die on their husband’s funeral pyre.
In Kerala, women were not allowed to cover their chests. Lower-caste people were denied education, barred from certain roads, and excluded from many professions.
Across the world, women were treated as property, as commodities, with no freedom.
Today, things have changed—not perfect, but changed. This change did not happen overnight. It happened because society slowly evolved. People questioned injustice, resisted it collectively, and removed these evils step by step. Even now, there is a long way to go.
Guruji once tried to fight injustice alone. But those who did wrong came together as a group and tried to destroy Him. From that experience, He understood the importance of tolerance.
If there are 100 people doing wrong, our goal should be to bring together at least 50 people who will stand for what is right—not to fight alone and sacrifice ourselves meaninglessly.
Those who benefit from injustice will always label us as enemies and try to eliminate us. This happens in every field of society.
Only when one reaches Nirvana does one attain the witness state—the ability to see clearly without being consumed by conflict.
To spread this truth, the Aadishunyabalashakthi temple was established. Along with it, Nirvana Yoga is taught—a path to remove obstacles on the inner journey.
During this journey, one must learn, teach others, and spread awareness.
From one seed, thousands of saplings can grow. From those thousands of trees, millions can arise.
When the forces of goodness grow strong, negativity naturally withers away.
Only then will the world slowly become a place of pure goodness.
Until that time, practice patience.
Practice tolerance.
Forgive.
Work sincerely.
Guruji learned through life itself—by observing, travelling, experiencing, and understanding all dimensions of society.
What is needed is “പരഹൃദയ ജ്ഞാനം” (para-hridaya jnanam)—the ability to understand the hearts of others. Try to understand people deeply.
Every people cannot be changed. But there are some who are trapped in ignorance—and they can be helped. If we directly confront hardened wrongdoers, they will destroy us instead.
If you walk unknowingly into the path of a thief, he may kill you, thinking you are a spy.
The world, in many ways, is ugly. But change is necessary. That is why the Re-establishment of Era of Truth—“സത്യ യുഗ പുനഃസ്ഥാപനം”—must happen, slowly and consciously.
So, learn deeply and correctly.
Engage sincerely in sadhana and raise your spiritual level.
The desire to change the world, if it remains only a desire, has no power. We can desire anything we want—but desire alone does nothing. What truly matters is karma. We must take action and do our part.
Doubts will arise again and again. When they do, clear them—either directly through me or through disciples who walk the path.
Today, much cheating is happening in the name of spirituality. Be aware of this, and do not get trapped by it.
In every field, we see the exploitation of the poor and the vulnerable -
in medicine, astrology, education, politics, and many other areas.
Today, people respond more than they did in the past. They question, protest, and express dissent. In time, many of them will also begin their spiritual journey.
Speak only what is necessary.
We are swimming against the current. That is the only way to reach the destination—the final goal that was revealed at the very moment the soul was created.
Living Meditation
Every moment of life can become meditation. Eating, meeting others, dressing, sleeping—observe each activity consciously. Become a witness. When you work, give your full attention to the work itself.
While eating, chew slowly and observe the sensations and tastes—that itself becomes meditation. When you apply soap while showering, feel the physical sensation. When you wash or massage the head, notice the sensations.
The senses exist for survival—but here, the journey is one of mastering the senses, not being ruled by them.
Meditation simply means watching sensations with awareness. Through this, jnana—true knowing—awakens naturally. A person who could not sit still for even five minutes may eventually be able to sit for five days.
The Ashram is a research center. The research here is not about the outer world—it is the research of knowing oneself.
How do we know the taste of a mango? Through sensation. You can experience truth in the form of sensations. By regular sadhana, your ability to feel sensations will keep on increasing.
Your sensory awareness becomes sharper. You will start feeling more energy in your body, experiencing sensations like heat, coolness etc. much more than you used to. Your energy body comes alive, allowing you to delve deeper into your self-realization journey. We will start to recognize that we are becoming aware of the subtle things happening in us that we haven't noticed before! You'll observe your stomach's discomfort when consuming heavily processed foods, and develop a keener awareness of the spiciness, sourness, and bitterness in your meals, prompting reduced consumption of them. Addictions, such as smoking and caffeine, will naturally wane. This heightened self-awareness extends to your own behaviour and the behaviour of others, making it easier to distinguish true friends from those seeking to exploit us.
All experiences here are meant to be lived and enjoyed consciously by human beings—not in a mindless or distorted way, but with awareness.
Beyond this, there exists another realm—a state of eternal happiness, where we are no longer entangled in experience but remain as witnesses.
We close this edition with gratitude — to Guruji for His wisdom, and to each of you for walking this path to the best of your ability. The newsletter will continue as long as there is wisdom to share and hearts willing to receive it.
May your practice deepen. May your life become the teaching.
