There is no individual effort required in Siddha Yoga. The only effort needed is to please the Guru byrendering service to him('Seva'). Remembrance is a must, and that is all that is required: 24 hours a day.Individual prayers, meditation, etc. are left to your needs, as per your needs and convenience, if you feelthe requirement. There are no restrictions or techniques: there is no bondage. There is no ban on themundane activities of the world. You are free to be a householder or stay single, whichever makes youfeel free and does not cause you to lose your happiness.The daily practice of Siddha Yoga involves living your life with the awareness that "My Guru's power isthere to protect me, and is constantly watching over me". This awareness is a must. 'Liberation' doesnot mean that one leads a life devoid of all laws and rules. One should lead a life that is pure in actionstoo, and filled with awareness and remembrance of the Guru's Shakti (power).There are many practices otherwise laid down in the scriptures: Yogasanas, Pranayama, etc. All theseare impossible for one person to master even in an entire lifetime. Siddha Yoga asks you to remainnatural ('Sahaja') and to let the Shakti-the Divine Power-that is within you, to do everything . One shouldsurrender to that inner Shakti.Meditation is spontaneous and natural. Once the shakti is awakened, meditation can happen anywhere,even in the midst of a market, or in a train or bus, and even 24 hours a day.The GuruFaith is all-important. If one loses faith, one cannot attain anything. The Guru Gita, an ancient scripture,proclaims clearly that the Guru is God manifest, God incarnate. Before accepting anyone as Guru, oneshould judge if he is capable of transmitting his spiritual power to others. His eyes radiate with the innerglow of the bliss of Self-realization. Only one who dwells constantly in the blissful state of the realm ofthe Self can be capable of bestowing his grace upon others, to give them the same experience. One canfeel this by staying close('Sannidhya') to such a Guru, who is also known as the 'Sadguru' or 'True Guru'.DR.RUPNATHJI( DR.RUPAK NATH )The ancient scripture Guru Gita explains the meaning of 'Guru' as the 'remover of ignorance' ('Gu'signifying the darkness of ignorance and 'Ru', the light of knowledge).It says that the Vedas, Puranas,etc. are confusing and people get misled if they do not seek refuge in the Guru. Those who do not knowof this truth (about the Guru) spend their life wandering fruitlessly. Today, this is the reason whyspirituality is being commercialised, since people are easily misled.
