When we serve for the sake of serving, when it is motiveless and egoless, then service has value and is evolutionary. It is never stagnating—if it stops growing it dies. Genuine service, like the life of the flower, consists of its flowering, for that flowering is life and life is never stagnant. It forever flows […]
LOVING WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO DO OTHERWISE
Ananda means unconditional Love. This was the main teaching of Gururaj to his students. To open their hearts up so that the discrepancies of the mind are overcome. To arrive to this Goal he taught a meditation method that we call Path of Unfoldment and that includes individualized meditation techniques and spiritual practices designed for the specific needs of each particular student.

It’s not really that love makes the world go around; love is what makes the ride interesting! What is love? In a nutshell, love is the Divinity within you. When a person knows himself, when he can really dive within and discover the love within himself, then only can he project that love to someone […]
Friendship
