Welcome to Samarpan, JKYog’s monthly E-Journal! "Samarpan" means surrender to God’s grace. Our mission is to practice Vedic knowledge (Tattvajnana) from holy scriptures, as taught by Swami Mukundananda ji. Each issue provides a specific theme, practical tools, and scriptural wisdom to nourish your body, mind, and soul.
Life is not just about achieving, but realizing our eternal bond with God. Knowing that human life is fleeting brings a serene, yet purposeful urgency, guiding us to live deeply before it slips away.
Change is constant, yet we resist it by holding on to people, roles, and expectations. While philosophy explains impermanence and psychology helps us cope, a spiritual perspective guides us to let go with trust, transforming loss into a path toward lasting inner peace.
Why do sincere seekers abandon their spiritual journey when it becomes inconvenient, uncomfortable, or tempting? Learn from a powerful story narrated by Swami Mukundananda ji about how subtle distractions weaken resolve, and how to stay steadfast in our journey.
The Vedas consistently present human life as a sacred dialogue between the Supreme Lord, the guiding Guru, and the Universe that serves as the field of experience. When grace, guidance, and karmic laws work in harmony, the same world that bound the soul becomes the very means of God-realization.
Do we perceive the world as it is, or according to the lens of our inner state? Of the different emotions that color our internal lens, envy is one of the most powerful distortions of this vision. Here, we discuss the meaning of envy, its harmful impact, causes, consequences, and how to overcome it.
An inner pilgrimage is a metaphor for a personal, internal spiritual journey of self-discovery, transformation, and a search for deeper meaning or connection with the Divine. Unlike a physical pilgrimage to a sacred site, the inner pilgrimage is a movement within one's own consciousness.
Spiritual integrity is the foundation for authentic living, divine connection, and lasting inner peace. Learn from Swami Mukundananda the essential elements of this divine characteristic.
Seva, or selfless service, in the bhakti path, is devotion in action. When one serves with the singular intention of pleasing God/Guru, without any expectation of reward or recognition, the service purifies the heart and awakens the inner self.
This month, we explore the sources of inner joy, the barriers that hinder it, and the practical steps we can take daily to rediscover this divine gift.
